"A cat?" Song Ruizhe asked in surprise, "When did you get a cat?"
He scratched his head.
"Besides, what does our business war have to do with cats?"
Li Yunqian glanced at him indifferently, "I heard that your blind date stepped on your foot and called you a one-track mind, is that true?"
Song Ruizhe gets angry whenever this is mentioned.
"Hey, you guys be the judge. I kindly held an umbrella for her in the rain, and the internet says to be considerate of girls and tilt the umbrella towards them. I tilted it and poured the rain on her head. Is that my fault? Wasn't I just trying to maintain a gentlemanly distance? How can you blame me for that?"
Chen Qi pursed his lips, lowered his head, and desperately tried to suppress a laugh.
Li Yunqian: "You really want me to give my opinion?"
Song Ruizhe shouted, "Tell me, isn't she going too far?"
Li Yunqian smiled and said, "Well done."
Song Ruizhe: ...?

Shen Zhiyi was awakened by a phone ringing.
She rubbed her eyes, picked up her phone, and saw it was her agent—Shi Lijia.
"Hello? Sister Jia." She sat up, her cheeks slightly flushed, despite the soreness. "Have you arrived yet?"
"Okay, I'll be right down."
There was a photoshoot in the afternoon; it was a perfume print ad that she had worked hard to get.
We must not be late.
She hung up the phone, turned her head and saw the bag on the table, but didn't take it. She went to the bathroom to change her clothes, and after coming out, she glanced in the direction of the study, but ultimately didn't go to find him.
He turned and went downstairs.
She knew Li Yunqian's personality.
He's usually unhappy with decisions he didn't make himself.
However, since you've already broken up with him, you should try to stay away from him as much as possible in the future.
Don't get entangled.
"Stop." A deep, cold voice came from behind.
Shen Zhiyi froze in her tracks.
After calming her pounding heart, she turned around and met Li Yunqian's cold, sharp gaze.
He adjusted the bag in his hand. "Why didn't you bring this?"
Shen Zhiyi gripped her phone tightly and turned her head away. "Now that it's over, I can't take your things anymore."
Li Yunqian looked at her stubborn brows and eyes, and felt a lump in his throat.
He took steps, getting closer to her.
The sense of oppression is getting stronger and stronger.
Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but take half a step back.
Li Yunqian put his arm around her waist, placed the bag handle in her palm, and slowly wrapped it around her.
Have you thought it through?
His dark, piercing eyes stared intently at her.
Shen Zhiyi felt the heat of his palm on the back of her hand, gripped the bag handle tightly, and said, "Mm."
"Thank you for taking care of me all these years."
She moved her arm, as if to shove the bag back at him, but he firmly held her in place.
"You know me; once something is given away, there's no reason to take it back."
His tone was forceful.
Shen Zhiyi did not insist any further.
She knew that if she refused again, she might not be able to leave this villa today.
"Good girl." Li Yunqian smiled slightly as he saw her accept the gift.
He brushed aside the stray hairs by her ear and tucked them behind it, saying meaningfully, "You said you wanted to thank me, but don't just say it as empty words."
His eyes were deep and unfathomable, fixed on her as if burning with a dark fire.
Shen Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat.
Just as I was about to ask him what he meant, he pressed my shoulder and turned me around, saying, "Go."
"Don't keep people waiting for the advertisement you finally managed to get."
Shen Zhiyi's heart was pounding.
He was too calm.
He was so calm that it seemed the breakup had absolutely no impact on him.
She lowered her eyes.
Too……
Perhaps, to him, it was a relationship that could be severed at any time.
He has always been calm and composed, handling people and matters with ease.
I think I'm no different from anyone else.
Shen Zhiyi took a deep breath and strode out.
Li Yunqian watched her get into the car and made eye contact with her agent, Shi Lijia.
She nodded slightly to him and followed Shen Zhiyi into the car.
The car doors closed, and the car drove away.
Li Yunqian glanced at his watch, raised his phone, and said coldly, "You can come and move your things now."
...
Shen Zhiyi arrived at the filming location.
"Go get your makeup done first," Shi Lijia patted her and said, "I'll go talk to the photographer."
"Okay." Shen Zhiyi picked up her bag and walked towards the dressing room.
She ran into Song Jinrao, a second-tier minor star who was also filming on the same day.
Out of politeness, Shen Zhiyi nodded to her.
Song Jinrao glanced at her from head to toe, her gaze lingering on the bag in her hand. A flash of jealousy crossed her eyes, and she snorted, her tone dismissive: "Low status, but quite capable."
I wonder which sugar daddy they've hooked up with.
It's amazing that she can afford such an expensive and rare bag.
She pushed up her big waves and sighed, "Sigh, if I had half of some people's seductive skills, I wouldn't have lost the second female lead role in 'Anonymous Letters'."
She remembered the rumor she had heard yesterday that Shen Zhiyi had gotten into Li Yunqian's car.
Could it be...?
Was it sent by Li Yunqian?!
Song Jinrao bit her lip, her nails digging into her palm.
No...
She had put in so much effort but still couldn't get close to him. How could Shen Zhiyi, a notorious third-rate sex symbol, possibly win his favor?
It must have been sent by a lecherous old man like Sun Xingkui.
Shen Zhiyi narrowed her eyes slightly.
I vaguely remember seeing Song Jinrao at the casting for "Anonymous Letters".
It turns out she also went to audition back then.
However, he was not selected.
Her expression turned cold, and she said, "The second female lead in 'Anonymous Letters' is a calm and composed female doctor who is tall and has long legs. It's normal that you weren't chosen."
Song Jinrao's eyes widened in surprise.
"How dare you say I'm short?!"
Shen Zhiyi approached, lowered her eyes, and glanced at Song Jinrao, who was half a head below her, with an almost disdainful look. Without saying anything, she stepped into the dressing room.
It's brimming with sarcasm.
Song Jinrao turned pale with anger.
She stomped her high heels on the spot.
"Ughhhhh! I'm so angry!"
"She's just a third-tier actress, what makes her think she can talk back to me?!"
So what if you're tall?
A high waistline is nothing special?!
She's still not as famous as him!
The assistant comforted her, "Sister Jin Rao, getting angry with someone like that will only lower your standards. Let's just ignore her."
Song Jinrao felt a surge of anger rising in her stomach.
"She dared to laugh at me, I'll teach her a lesson she won't forget!"
"Come here." She waved to her assistant and whispered a few words in his ear.
The assistant's eyes widened slightly, and he hesitated, "This..."
Song Jinrao twisted his ear, turned it halfway around, and said fiercely, "What is this? You go just because I tell you to!"
The assistant screamed in pain, covering his ears with his hands, and repeatedly agreed.
"I...I'll go right away! Sister Jinrao, don't be angry."
Song Jinrao watched her assistant run off into the distance and chuckled, "Shen Zhiyi, let's see if you can finish filming this commercial properly!"
