As Jiang Fei listened to the bounties and favorability ratings of these target individuals, a slight surprise crossed his mind at the end: "Yan Yunzhou?"
[System: Yes.]
Jiang Fei frowned: "It seems that the original owner had no contact with this person."
[System: It's just that the host doesn't know. Does the host know who rescued you from that explosion?]
Jiang Fei tried to recall carefully, and only vaguely remembered that there was someone called "Mr. Yan" directing something outside the fire scene.
"It was him?"
[System: Yes, it was Yan Yunzhou's people who saved you. That entire film studio belongs to the Yan family.]
Why did he save the original owner of this body?
Could there be some unresolved romantic entanglements she's unaware of? But his affection for the original owner is zero.
[System: I don't know.]
Jiang Fei: "..."
She quickly realized something else: "You said before that we shouldn't deviate from the plot, but I'm still very unclear about what the plot will be like next."
The system hesitated for a few seconds, then said awkwardly, "[Because the host's storyline was somewhat rushed, in the original story it only briefly mentioned that after you were abandoned by Qin Mo, you were used by Yan Wang...]"
Jiang Fei understood.
She was ultimately just a cannon fodder character, whose only purpose was to highlight how much Qin Mo loved Ye Qingqing, to the point that all the women around him resembled her.
"So that means I can follow the plot however I want?" Jiang Fei raised an eyebrow.
[System: Theoretically, that's correct. However, in the original storyline, Yan Wang will prepare for the host's surgery six months later.]
Jiang Fei paused, then reached out and gently stroked the shape of her eyes, sketching their appearance in her mind. The slightly upturned corners of her eyes should possess a captivating allure when half-closed.
She liked those eyes.
If you have the ability, then come and exchange it.
But before that...
[System: Host, what are you thinking about?]
Jiang Fei smiled: "I'm thinking Yan Wang should be here soon."
[System: Host, do you have a solution?]
Jiang Fei remained silent.
This tactic of deliberately approaching and seducing the original owner to fall in love with him is similar to the one in the previous world, but Yan Wang is a playboy who has seen many women, so the method from the previous world definitely won't work.
To lure someone like that, you have to play games with them, and make sure they can never have what they want.
[System: Host?]
Jiang Fei snapped out of her reverie, lowered her eyes, and gave a soft smile.
Then let's try a different approach.
...
Inside a luxurious private room at a bar.
Yan Wang sat in the corner, lazily leaning against the sofa, his peach blossom eyes filled with a hint of drunkenness, a cold smile on his lips, looking at his phone over and over again.
"What is Young Master Yan looking at again? He seems so distracted these past few days," the delicate beauty leaned closer. "Hmm? Mr. Qin and Ye..."
Yan Wang slammed his phone shut and glanced indifferently at the beauty.
The beauty trembled twice in surprise.
Yan Wang chuckled softly, his thumb and forefinger playfully pinching the beauty's chin, lifting it slightly, and bringing it closer to her lips, his breath carrying a hint of wine.
The beautiful woman's eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly closed her eyes.
The next second, she felt a sharp pain in her chin and couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
Yan Wang casually waved her aside: "I'm not in the mood today, get lost."
The beauty's face paled, she glared at him with shame and indignation, then got up and quickly walked out.
A young master nearby joked, "Another one got scolded away by Young Master Yan."
Yan Wang ignored him and continued fiddling with his phone.
Ye Qingqing chose Qin Mo.
Suddenly, she changed her mind. One moment she was pursuing Yan Yunzhou with great enthusiasm, and the next she was throwing herself into Qin Mo's arms.
He was the only one she never considered.
After all, an illegitimate child like him deserves to be despised; he's not even a second-best option.
The phone lit up briefly.
Yan Wang glanced at it casually, then his gaze suddenly froze.
"Jiang Fei's disfigured photos have been exposed, and it may be difficult for her to return to the big screen."
The photo shows a comparison between a disfigured picture and a previously retouched one.
That heavily edited photo...
Yan Wang reached out and lightly touched the picture, zoomed in, and looked at the disfigured photo, covering his burned left cheek.
With a face like that, it's no wonder he's been able to stay by Qin Mo's side for five years.
The next second, Yan Wang suddenly thought of something, the drunkenness in his eyes dissipated, and he lightly touched the terrifying left cheek in the photo.
It looks so much like it.
Unfortunately, those eyes were a bit of an eyesore.
...
Yan Wang came to see Jiang Fei ten days after she was hospitalized. The private hospital was very confidential, and no one bothered Jiang Fei anymore.
Her burns are healing well and have started to scab over. Although her vision is affected, it will gradually recover. The situation is not so optimistic for the burns on her face and neck. The doctor told her hesitantly that scars will definitely remain, it's just a matter of how severe they are. Even if it is repaired in the future, there will still be traces.
This is devastating news for a female celebrity.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fei merely raised an eyebrow and said, "Thank you for your hard work, doctor."
The doctor assumed that she had given up after being devastated, sighed softly, and walked out.
It was at this time that Yan Wang arrived.
During this time, Jiang Fei had already learned about the storyline of the Yan brothers.
Yan Yunzhou is the eldest son of the Yan family and the true head of the family, the rightful heir. However, he has had a heart condition since birth, which is incurable.
Yan Wang is the illegitimate son of Yan's father and a woman he had a one-night stand with. The woman wanted to use Yan Wang to advance her position, but Yan's father never acknowledged Yan Wang's existence.
However, wealthy people are more or less superstitious. Later, Yan's father suffered a heart attack and was hospitalized. In order to accumulate good karma, he recognized Yan Wang again, but he still passed away.
The entire Yan family is currently in Yan Yunzhou's hands. Although Yan Wang and Yan Yunzhou are not irreconcilable enemies, they don't have much affection for each other either.
Two knocks were heard on the door.
Jiang Fei snapped out of her daze and looked in the direction of the sound, but everything in front of her was blurry.
When Yan Wang pushed open the door and walked in, Jiang Fei was sitting on the hospital bed, looking at him with her head turned to the side. The sunlight outside the window shone on her, revealing her fair and white right cheek. She did not look dejected at all as he had imagined; instead, she looked calm.
Yan Wang paused, and for a moment he thought he saw Ye Qingqing.
But their eyes were different. Ye Qingqing had clear almond-shaped eyes, while Jiang Fei's eyes were slightly upturned, carrying a hint of unintentional charm.
But when she turned her face to the side, a thin scab had formed on the blackened burn scar on her left cheek, which was extremely gruesome.
Looking at the injury on her face, Yan Wang frowned slightly, but his voice remained gentle: "Miss Jiang," he said, placing the vibrant lilies he held beside the hospital bed, "I heard that Miss Jiang likes lilies?"
Jiang Fei's eyes flickered slightly: "Mr. Yan?"
Yan Wang raised an eyebrow: "Miss Jiang, do you know me?"
“Mr. Yan is very famous,” Jiang Fei said, then took a sniff. The lily fragrance was delicate and pleasant. She reached out and touched the edge of the table, finally touching the bouquet. She pulled out a flower and held it in her hand. “The flower smells very good.”
Yan Wang stared at her eyes in surprise: "Miss Jiang's eyes..."
Jiang Fei smiled, her eyes half-closed: "The explosion caused my vision to deteriorate."
Yan Wang sized her up for a few seconds, then waved his hand in front of her.
Jiang Fei laughed out loud: "Mr. Yan, I just have weakened eyesight, not blindness."
Yan Wang reluctantly withdrew his hand: "The director invited me to make a cameo appearance in Miss Jiang's film, but Miss Jiang happened to be away from the set at the time. I'm here on behalf of the crew to visit her..."
“Mr. Yan,” Jiang Fei interrupted him, “I have heard about your relationship with Miss Ye Qingqing before.”
The circle is so small, how could I not have heard of it?
The original owner had also had her doubts, but she was too afraid of being alone. A year of companionship made her think she had found someone she could rely on. However, she never expected that this benefactor, who was somewhat attracted to her, would play along with her for a year, even turning her face into her nightmare and making her seduce others.
Yan Wang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Miss Jiang, what do you mean by this?"
"It's nothing," Jiang Fei raised her hand and rubbed her right cheek, her eyes still unfocused. "Mr. Yan likes Miss Ye, doesn't he?"
Yan Wang looked at her warily, without saying a word.
Jiang Fei toyed with the lily branch in her hand: "Mr. Yan, perhaps we can cooperate." She looked up in Yan Wang's direction, a moment of sadness in her eyes, "I can't forget Qin Mo."
Yan Wang stared at her for a while, then suddenly smiled. He stepped forward and gently stroked her right cheek: "Saying you can't forget other men in front of me will make me unhappy." Especially with this face on your face.
Jiang Fei lowered her eyes and did not respond to his words. She only said, "Qin Mo is a germaphobe and hates being betrayed the most. Mr. Yan only needs to spread the word in your small circle that we had contact before I broke up with him, and he will definitely meet me."
Because of Qin Mo's mysophobia, the original owner rarely accepted kissing scenes. Only once, when the original owner had a fleeting kiss with her co-star during filming, her lips were so swollen from washing them afterwards.
Yan Wang chuckled, neither confirming nor denying, and said, "You said it yourself, you've already broken up, so why does he still want to see you?"
Jiang Fei: "If you don't see me, everyone in the industry will know you cheated on him. Aren't you happy?"
Yan Wang paused while stroking her hand, then thought seriously about the scene for a second before gently pinching her cheek: "Indeed, I was happy."
As he spoke, he straightened up, withdrew his hand, and looked into her unfocused eyes: "Miss Jiang, I await your good news." Although he didn't believe she could succeed in this state.
Jiang Fei looked in his direction: "But I have one condition."
Yan Wang glanced at her left cheek: "I will hire the best plastic surgeon for Miss Jiang."
“No, that’s not it,” Jiang Fei pursed her lips, her smile faltering for a moment, a hint of vulnerability flashing in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared. “I hope Mr. Yan can take care of me during my time in the hospital.”
Yan Wang frowned as he looked at her without saying a word, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Jiang Fei laughed: "I don't have any family. As for my agent and assistant, they were all arranged by Qin Mo. It's a bit inconvenient to be alone in the hospital..." As she said this, her voice grew softer and softer, and her expression became somewhat blank and lost. But she quickly regained her composure and said, "Never mind."
Yan Wang looked at the lone whorl on her head.
No family? How lucky, you didn't even have the chance to be abandoned.
“Alright,” Yan Wang replied slowly, raising an eyebrow slightly. “But, Miss Jiang, please don’t disappoint me.”
Otherwise, he wouldn't mind using his own methods to get what he wants.
Jiang Fei's gaze froze, and she looked at him in disbelief: "Really?"
Yan Wang smiled and said, "I never lie to women."
Jiang Fei's fragile expression vanished instantly, and she smiled with narrowed eyes, "Then, I want to eat strawberries."
Her expression changed so quickly that Yan Wang scrutinized her for a while, probing her intently. "Just now, you were faking it, weren't you?"
“It’s true,” Jiang Fei nodded seriously, “and it’s also true that I want to eat strawberries.”
Yan Wang: "..."
Jiang Fei quickly added, "You just agreed!"
Yan Wang remained silent.
Jiang Fei glanced in his direction, straining her eyes to make out his features: "Mr. Yan?"
Yan Wang glanced at her, said nothing, and turned to walk outside.
The door slammed shut, and a system notification followed: Yan Wang's favorability rating has reached 0.
Jiang Fei chuckled inwardly. Yan Wang was a person who desperately craved love but didn't believe in it. He longed for his family and hoped to be needed, but unfortunately, he was either being abandoned or on his way to being abandoned.
I have nothing to do in the hospital, so I can spend some time with him and "develop" our relationship.
When he returned, Yan Wang was indeed holding a box of strawberries. After handing it to Jiang Fei, he stood by the bed, leaning against the table, leisurely observing her.
Jiang Fei tasted one, swallowed it without changing her expression, then picked up another and handed it directly to Yan Wang: "It's sweet, you should try some too."
She handed it to him so naturally, without any deliberate intention, that Yan Wang was taken aback and looked at her suspiciously. When buying strawberries, he had deliberately picked small and sour ones, but he hadn't expected...
After pausing for two seconds, looking into her sincere eyes, he hesitantly took it, put it in his mouth, and gently bit into the berry flesh. The astringent flesh oozed out sour juice.
Yan Wang quickly spat out the strawberry.
Hearing the noise, Jiang Fei squinted and chuckled, deliberately asking, "Sweet, isn't it?"
Yan Wang frowned as he looked at the smile on her face, as if even the scar on her left cheek was smiling broadly: "Aren't you jealous?" he asked back.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Fei's laughter stopped abruptly, and she frowned and glared at him: "Sour."
Yan Wang couldn't help but chuckle softly. After realizing what he meant, he paused for a moment, straightened up, and frowned. "Don't forget the conditions." He then turned to walk towards the door.
“Mr. Yan,” Jiang Fei called out to him.
Yan Wang stopped at the door.
"My injuries can be treated with rest after I'm discharged from the hospital. You can now spread the word about me and your situation."
Yan Wang: "I know." Then he was about to open the door.
“Mr. Yan,” Jiang Fei spoke again.
Yan Wang turned his head impatiently.
Jiang Fei said earnestly, "I want to eat grapes tomorrow," and after thinking for a moment, added, "Sweet ones."
Yan Wang: "..."
He ultimately left without saying a word.
Jiang Fei kept looking in the direction of the door, listening carefully as no footsteps sounded outside. He couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
They're really wary.
Thinking of this, Jiang Fei lowered her eyes, her smile gradually disappeared, and the light in her eyes dimmed. She reached out and gently and carefully touched the wound on her left cheek, then quickly withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, and then lowered her head sadly.
The system is confused about the host.
The target has clearly left.
The next second, a faint sound came from the doorway, and the footsteps gradually faded into the distance.
Yan Wang's favorability rating: 5.
[System: Yan Wang didn't leave?]
"Hmm." Jiang Fei leaned lazily against the pillow as she heard the silence outside the door. Yan Wang, being the suspicious person he was, would definitely become suspicious if he noticed that she was different from before.
...
News in the industry always spreads quickly.
The news that Jiang Fei had a close relationship with Yan Wang when she was still Qin Mo's fiancée spread throughout the upper-class circles almost overnight.
Yan Wang's visit to Jiang Fei in the hospital seems to further corroborate this rumor.
There were even rumors that Jiang Fei accepted Qin Mo's marriage proposal on set, and then immediately became a "couple on set" with Yan Wang.
Qin Mo heard this news in his top-floor office of the Starry Sky Building.
He believed he had done more than enough for Jiang Fei. Even if he had approached her because of her face, the money and resources he had given her were enough to buy her the next few years.
He thought Qingqing would always follow Yan Yunzhou, so he sadly chose a substitute to console himself. He never expected that Qingqing would turn around and see him.
What use is a body double then?
However, Jiang Fei did not seem to realize this.
Using his resources to have relationships with other men?
It even seems like he's been cuckolded.
Just thinking about it makes me feel dirty.
Letting out a soft breath, Qin Mo picked up the intercom and dialed his assistant's number.
"Hello?" came Xiao Li's voice.
Qin Mo said coldly, "Keep an eye on Jiang Fei these next few days. Contact me if there's any movement."
Xiao Li quickly replied, "Yes."
...
When Yan Wang showed up at the hospital with grapes the next afternoon, he was still somewhat incredulous.
This feeling is like...being needed.
He had investigated Jiang Fei, and it was indeed as she said: she had no family, her parents abandoned her at the gate of an orphanage when she was young, and she met Qin Mo when she grew up. Her agent, assistant, and contracted company were all under Qin Mo's company.
It could be said that she was merely a parasitic plant clinging to Qin Mo, no wonder she was so determined to snatch him back.
He liked the right side of her face, and perhaps this woman could even create some distance between Qin Mo and Ye Qingqing, so why not?
Pushing open the ward door, Jiang Fei was still sitting on the edge of the bed. Her previously somewhat dazed eyes lit up slightly when she looked at him: "Yan Wang?"
Yan Wang was taken aback. He remembered that yesterday she was still calling him "Mr. Yan" repeatedly.
Then he frowned. He didn't like her eyes, especially the light that shone from them.
"Hmm." Yan Wang responded softly, walked to the bedside, and handed her the grapes.
Jiang Fei suddenly moved closer to him, staring intently at him.
Yan Wang frowned, took a step back, then suddenly realized something, smiled playfully, and moved closer to her, their lips only a finger's width apart: "What is it?"
Jiang Fei blinked: "Has the news already spread?"
It's like an underground party meeting.
Yan Wang was stunned for a moment, looking into her eyes, but she still couldn't see clearly, her gaze not fixed on him.
With a light scoff, Yan Wang withdrew: "Hmm."
"That's good," Jiang Fei smiled, squinting her eyes. She picked up a grape, then, as if remembering something, looked up and asked, "Is it sweet?"
Yan Wang snorted coldly: "Bitter."
Jiang Fei put it directly into her mouth and laughed, "It's sweet."
Yan Wang stared at her for a long while without saying a word.
The ward door was pushed open at that moment, and the nurse walked in. She was surprised to see Yan Wang, but quickly calmed down: "Miss Jiang, it's time to change the dressing."
Jiang Fei's smile froze, and she looked flustered.
Yan Wang did not understand.
Jiang Fei's gaze flickered, then turned to Yan Wang's direction: "Why don't you go out first?" Her voice was calm, but her eyes held a hint of sorrow.
Yan Wang lowered his eyes to observe her reaction, then smiled and said, "But I have to take care of you, Fei Fei."
Jiang Fei's face turned pale, and she bit her lip, saying, "Just for a little while."
Yan Wang squinted at her, wondering what she was up to. After a long while, he nodded and said, "Okay." He walked to the door, opened it, then closed it again. He remained standing in the room and made a "shh" gesture to the nurse.
Jiang Fei chuckled inwardly; that was exactly what she wanted—for him not to go out.
She turned to the side, assuming he had really gone out, and carefully took off her hospital gown.
Yan Wang's gaze narrowed slightly as he stared intently at Jiang Fei's back. On her snow-white skin, dark blue scars resembled ugly centipedes, running from her waist down to her abdomen.
The nurse gently wiped her, but no matter how gentle she was, her body would involuntarily tremble with every touch, and eventually, she was in so much pain that she shuddered uncontrollably.
No wonder they asked him to leave; no one wants to be seen in such a pathetic and incompetent state.
After applying the medicine to her back, neck, and cheeks, the nurse felt a little sorry for her and said, "Ms. Jiang, you can call out if it hurts."
Jiang Fei pursed her lips, her hands trembling slightly. After a long while, she simply shook her head and then whispered, "Nurse Lin, is the scar on my face scary?"
The nurse was taken aback, then quickly said, "It's not scary."
Jiang Fei laughed: "That's good, I was afraid of scaring others."
After applying the medicine, the nurse tiptoed out.
Yan Wang watched as Jiang Fei quietly dressed, sat on the bed in a daze with a pale expression, and after a while, slowly opened the door and closed it again.
Jiang Fei almost immediately raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Yan Wang?" as if the paleness from before had never appeared.
Yan Wang looked at her smile, took two steps to the bedside, and looked at her inquisitively.
He was very curious as to why she could still laugh. Her face, which was the most important thing for a woman, was ruined, and Qin Mo had abandoned her, yet she still laughed carefree, making him want to destroy the eyesore on her face.
Jiang Fei suddenly looked up.
Yan Wang was slightly startled. She clearly couldn't see him clearly, yet her eyes were fixed on him.
“Yan Wang,” Jiang Fei raised an eyebrow at him, ate another grape, and smiled, “I want to eat finger limes tomorrow.”
Yan Wang didn't respond. He stared at her face for a while, then, perhaps too lazy to argue, he snorted and turned to leave.
Over the next few days, the two fell into a strange tacit understanding: whatever Jiang Fei wanted, Yan Wang would bring the next day.
Just when Jiang Fei felt that she had almost fully developed the habit, the doctor finally relented and said she could go out and get some fresh air.
That afternoon, Yan Wang walked into the hospital through the back door with the durian flesh that Jiang Fei had asked for the day before, but stopped in his tracks when he saw the woman standing at the entrance of the building.
Jiang Fei, still wearing her hospital gown, her lips pale, was being helped by a nurse to walk towards the garden behind the building. Her right cheek was almost transparent in the sunlight, while her left cheek was covered with horrific scars. She was moving forward cautiously.
The next second, Jiang Fei seemed to realize something, suddenly looked up, and then laughed: "Yan Wang."
The sound is certain.
The nurse looked up in surprise.
Yan Wang stepped forward and looked into her unfocused eyes: "How did you know it was me?"
Jiang Fei raised her eyebrows slightly: "I smell durian."
The nurse couldn't help but burst out laughing, then thought of something and said, "Since Mr. Yan is here, let him help you." They had been watching closely all this time.
Miss Jiang is a pitiful person. Apart from Mr. Yan, no one comes to visit her, even though she was a glamorous star on TV not long ago.
The media also said that Mr. Yan was a womanizer, but it seems the rumors are untrue.
Yan Wang glanced at the nurse's back, frowned, but still walked to Jiang Fei's side.
Jiang Fei paused for a second, then gently reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
Yan Wang looked down at the hand she was holding and frowned.
The private hospital's garden is large, with lush vegetation that is neatly trimmed, and only occasionally a few elderly people stroll by.
Jiang Fei held onto Yan Wang's sleeve and walked quietly along the path.
"What a lovely young couple," an elderly man with white hair remarked as he watched them.
Yan Wang frowned, about to speak, but Jiang Fei released him and waved her hands repeatedly: "He and I are not a couple..."
The old man nodded and said with a smile, "Not married yet, right? You can't delay any longer after dating for so long."
Jiang Fei felt increasingly helpless, reaching out to touch the scar on her left cheek: "It's really not like that. The way I am now, we're just, just business partners..." "Okay, I understand." Yan Wang suddenly interrupted her, a smile playing on his lips, "We'll get married soon."
Jiang Fei glared at Yan Wang.
Yan Wang raised an eyebrow. He hadn't wanted to admit it, but seeing her so eager to deny it made him seem like a terrible person.
But it should be him who dislikes her.
Unfortunately, Jiang Fei couldn't see his raised eyebrow. In her haste to explain, she turned to move away from him a few steps, but unexpectedly stepped on the stone steps of the path, stumbled, and then fell to the side with a pale face.
Yan Wang frowned and casually scooped her up.
Jiang Fei fell directly onto his chest, her head tilted back slightly, her lips half-kissing and half-smacking against his chin, carrying a faint medicinal scent.
Jiang Fei blinked but didn't move.
Yan Wang continued to hold Jiang Fei's hand, the touch on his chin feeling soft and numb.
The next second he suddenly realized what was happening and reached out to push her away: "You..."
Just as she was about to speak, Jiang Fei suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Yan Wang, I think I can see you!"
Yan Wang was startled, then turned to meet Jiang Fei's gaze directly. This time, his gaze was no longer unfocused; instead, he looked directly into Jiang Fei's eyes.
Her eyes were sparkling, and the slightly upturned corners of her eyes carried a hint of allure.
For the first time, I felt that these eyes weren't so offensive on this face.
Yan Wang was startled by the sudden thought that popped into his mind. He quickly took half a step back and stared at Jiang Fei as if he had seen a ghost.
"Miss Jiang." Just then, a nurse's voice came from behind.
The two turned their heads almost simultaneously.
The nurse, who had returned, smiled at them and said, "The doctor will give Ms. Jiang another check-up tomorrow. If everything is fine, we can approve her request to be discharged. However, she will need to have regular check-ups and take her medication on time after discharge."
You can be discharged now.
Yan Wang remained standing there, his brows furrowed.
Jiang Fei pursed her lips and smiled at the nurse: "Okay, thank you."
The nurse nodded and turned to leave.
Jiang Fei remained silent for a moment before looking at Yan Wang: "What about Qin Mo..."
Yan Wang narrowed his eyes slightly: "He's been sending people to monitor the hospital these past few days." This is one of the reasons why he's been appearing at the hospital.
As for other reasons... he looked into her eyes, then quickly looked away, because of her face!
It's simply because of her right cheek, nothing more.
Jiang Fei paused, then gently curved her eyebrows, her smile somewhat forced: "He... still cares about me, doesn't he?"
Yan Wang remained silent.
The light in her eyes dimmed because of another man.
Jiang Fei also quieted down, her head lowered as if lost in thought. After a long while, she turned to Yan Wang and asked, "You and Miss Ye...you really like Miss Ye, don't you?"
Yan Wang stared into her eyes, paused for a moment, and for a fleeting instant felt that she didn't actually want him to like someone else, but this absurd thought was quickly dismissed. He nodded: "Of course."
Jiang Fei's face paled slightly, and she bit her lip. "Okay," she smiled gently. "Thank you for taking care of me during this time. I'll be discharged after my check-up tomorrow. Qin Mo will probably want to see me."
After saying that, she hurriedly turned and left.
The moment he turned around, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
The eyes wouldn't normally see this early, but the "cure all diseases" skill is no joke.
What she could see was not only Yan Wang, but also the glittering 20 favorability rating above his head.
Behind her, Yan Wang stared at her back, his brows furrowed.
Of course he liked Qingqing. He liked the way she focused on pursuing someone, and he liked her eyes that were always full of sunshine.
There has always been only green.
Jiang Fei is just a substitute.
...
The Qin family.
Qin Mo, dressed in black casual clothes, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, stroking his phone in his hand, staring blankly at the night view outside.
Xiao Li brought news that Yan Wang has been going to the hospital every day these past few days, ignoring even the women around him—a treatment he's never given to Qingqing.
Just now, Xiao Li even sent me a photo.
In the photo, Jiang Fei leans against Yan Wang's chest, tilting her head back to gently kiss his chin.
They are very close.
They were so close, it didn't seem like they had just met.
So, she was with another man while she was still with him?
He thought he owed her something, but it turned out that she had given him such a big "surprise"!
"Amo?" A soft female voice, tinged with trepidation, came from behind.
Qin Mo snapped back to reality, his expression softening slightly as he turned to Qingqing.
"Amo," Ye Qingqing leaned gently against his chest, "what were you thinking about just now?"
Qin Mo put one arm around her, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked out the window: "It's nothing."
"Really?" Ye Qingqing lifted her head from his embrace. "You're not allowed to hide anything from me?"
Qin Mo looked down at the beautiful woman in front of him and felt in a daze that she had never actually left his side. He instinctively leaned down to kiss her red lips.
Ye Qingqing stiffened for a moment, then quickly recovered and nestled obediently in his arms, shyly accepting the kiss.
Qin Mo felt a sudden tightness in his chest. He could sense that Ye Qingqing had hesitated for a moment.
Over the past five years, Jiang Fei would never hesitate; she would only embrace his neck more passionately and offer him her kiss.
But in reality, she had already secretly started a relationship with someone else behind his back!
Qin Mo felt a sudden surge of determination and bit the woman's lips.
"Amo..." Ye Qingqing whispered.
Qin Mo snapped back to reality, ending the kiss with rapid breathing. Looking at the woman in his arms, he said softly, "I'm sorry, Qingqing."
Qin Mo only dialed Xiao Li's number after watching Ye Qingqing fall asleep.
"Mr. Qin, Miss Jiang will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow," Xiao Li reported almost immediately.
Qin Mo responded with a faint "Mm".
Xiao Li added, "Ms. Jiang's apartment is surrounded by reporters, so she probably won't be going back tomorrow."
Qin Mo looked at the night view outside the window: "Then find out where she's going tomorrow, and let me know when you find out."
He will talk to her and get to the bottom of things.
I will never allow myself to be made a fool of.
...
Jiang Fei was discharged from the hospital on the second night, and Yan Wang came to pick her up personally.
Since they couldn't go back to the apartment, they had to find a high-end hotel. Luckily, Yan Wang knew of one, so he took her there.
Neither of them spoke a word the rest of the way.
It wasn't until they arrived at the hotel that Jiang Fei realized it was owned by the Yan family and was the most luxurious hotel in the city. It was said that the top floor of the hotel had the most beautiful night view in the city.
But very few people have ever been lucky enough to go up there.
Wearing a mask, Jiang Fei followed Yan Wang into the elevator.
The elevator was deathly silent. As the floors rose one by one, it finally stopped near the top floor. Yan Wang was the first to step out of the elevator.
“Yan Wang,” Jiang Fei suddenly spoke.
Yan Wang turned to look at her.
Jiang Fei pursed her lips, her face, covered by a mask, revealing only a pair of somewhat bewildered eyes: "If it weren't for our circumstances, you wouldn't actually want to go to the hospital, would you?"
Yan Wang paused, then turned to look at her.
Noticing his gaze, Jiang Fei looked over at him, then smiled with her eyes half-closed: "Congratulations! You won't have to be forced to bring me food to the hospital when you're unhappy anymore."
With that, she walked past him and quietly headed down the corridor.
Yan Wang frowned, inexplicably finding those eyes irritating. He stood up, about to speak, "Jiang..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
Jiang Fei stopped a short distance away. Unlike her blank stare when facing him, she was now staring blankly ahead, no longer smiling, but with a faint sadness rising in her eyes, which then grew stronger.
Yan Wang turned his head and looked in the direction she was looking.
At the door of the reserved room, Qin Mo stood there in a black suit, his hair combed back, exuding a coldness. Under the dim yellow light above, his eyes remained as indifferent as a statue.
It turns out all that reluctance just now was fake.
Yan Wang narrowed his eyes, and after a long while, he curled his lips into a mocking smile: "Pleasant to cooperate." After saying that, he turned around and walked back into the elevator.
Yan Wang's favorability rating: 25.
Jiang Fei raised an eyebrow inwardly, but still maintained an injured expression on her face. She took two steps toward Qin Mo and stopped a short distance in front of him.
"Qin Mo..." she murmured, and as she called his name, tears streamed down her face.
Qin Mo frowned as he looked at her tears, then smiled mockingly: "Jiang Fei, have you been seeing other people behind my back?"
Jiang Fei's face paled, she swayed slightly, and looked at him in disbelief: "What did you say?"
"Still pretending?" Qin Mo sneered, about to say something, when his gaze quickly swept over the surveillance camera above his head.
Jiang Fei clenched her fists tightly, her voice muffled and choked with sobs through her mask: "I'll open the door..."
"Go upstairs," Qin Mo interrupted her impatiently. "Who knows what happened between you and him in the room?" With that, he turned and walked upstairs.
Jiang Fei's eyes widened, her eyes red-rimmed, and she finally followed behind him with her head down.
The second to last floor is upstairs, where you can clearly see the glass railing of the top floor diagonally above, but very few people are qualified to go up there.
Qin Mo stopped and turned to look coldly at Jiang Fei: "When did you get involved with Yan Wang?"
Jiang Fei looked at him, utterly dejected: "I didn't have anything going on with Yan Wang..."
"Jiang Fei!" Qin Mo's voice deepened. "They booked a hotel, they even kissed in the hospital, and you call that not flirting?"
He walked slowly to her, looked down at her, and said, "You should know that I despise betrayal the most. I give you money and resources not so that you will betray me."
“You can take the money and resources…” Jiang Fei murmured softly, then her eyes brightened slightly as she looked up at Qin Mo. “You can take the money and resources, I don’t want your compensation, I don’t want it…”
"You don't want money or resources?" Qin Mo sneered. "Then what else do you want?"
“I want you to make up for five years of my life,” Jiang Fei blurted out.
Qin Mo was stunned.
Jiang Fei lowered her head and said, "Qin Mo, I've followed you for five years, not because of money or resources, but simply because it's you, nothing more."
Qin Mo stared at the top of her head and suddenly remembered that night when they broke up, she was like this, with her head down, holding onto him, saying that she loved him and begging him not to leave.
Qingqing never said that to him.
“Qin Mo…” Jiang Fei slowly stepped forward and reached out to take his hand.
Qin Mo suddenly realized what was happening and quickly dodged her hand, his disgust evident in his expression.
Jiang Fei watched his movements for a long time before slowly reaching out to remove her mask and scarf.
In the dim light, the scars on her face and neck were clearly and horrifyingly visible.
Qin Mo stared blankly at her face.
She looks a lot like Qingqing, but now...
Jiang Fei gave a self-deprecating laugh: "Qin Mo, Yan Wang went to the hospital to take care of me. He's the same as you, because of this face."
"Do you really think that Yan..."
