Chapter 10

After watching the movie, He Yu didn’t let Chu Xi leave. Instead, he hugged her as he read documents.

He Yu wasn’t only an actor, but was also the heir of the He Corporation. He originally had no interest in inheriting the He family business, so he entered the entertainment industry to avoid being the heir. However, he met Chu Xi later. She was so perfect that many people coveted her. If he didn’t work hard, how could he protect her?

Chu Xi was unwilling to be restrained, but as long as he had enough power and influence, no matter where she went, she would be under his control. Of course, he preferred Chu Xi to be by his side at all times, but this wasn’t realistic. If her feet were not injured, and if he didn’t smoke on purpose, would she obediently accept his kiss in his arms?

In fact, He Yu didn’t smoke at all and even hated the smell of cigarettes. However, in order to deceive his wife, he played some tricks.

Chu Xi leaned on He Yu’s shoulder. Her entire body was limp and she was completely slumped against him. At first, she was a little embarrassed, but after a while, she began to play with her phone in He Yu’s arms.

However, even though she could play this game with her fingers, Chu Xi seemed to be using all her strength. She kept swaying in He Yu’s arms.

He Yu held her waist as he told her not to move. Her waist was so thin and soft that it was as if he could wrap a single arm around her entire body. Hmm… his wife smelled so good. He didn’t know if this was a reward or a punishment, but no matter what, he wouldn’t let go. He was willing to accept this punishment.

After playing for a while, Chu Xi became sleepy again, so she simply leaned into He Yu’s arms and dozed off. Her hair was thin and soft, and it rubbed against He Yu’s chest from time to time, like a thin and soft brush. Several buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, revealing his sexy abs and collarbone.

He Yu put down the pen in his hand, raised Chu Xi’s chin, and kissed her again.

After Chu Xi opened her eyes in a daze, she was coaxed to sleep by He Yu again. He Yu didn’t know how many times he had kissed her. Chu Xi’s soft lips were about to become sore.

After getting enough of kissing her, He Yu turned to look at the sunlight outside the window with mirth in his eyes. He had finally gotten what he wanted. This feeling… was so addictive. She was so obedient!

…

When it was time for dinner, Chu Xi’s mouth hurt so much that she couldn’t eat spicy food at all. She looked at He Yu angrily. Getting her husband to quit smoking was really taking a toll on her.

He Yu coaxed her into drinking a bowl of soup and eating some light dishes. Before going to bed, he helped her apply a layer of ointment to her mouth.

Chu Xi felt that she had sacrificed too much today, so she rode on He Yu’s waist with one leg in an extremely arrogant manner.

He Yu didn’t say anything and only reached out to rub her calf. She spent most of her time at home and rarely saw sunlight. Coupled with his attentive care, her skin was smooth and tender.

Chu Xi felt that she was taking revenge, but He Yu was overjoyed and hoped that the more such revenge, the better.

Chu Xi fell asleep in He Yu’s arms. After falling asleep, Chu Xi suddenly heard He Yu say something. She responded, then she continued to sleep.

He Yu tucked her in and tiptoed out of the bedroom with his phone. Then, he made a call.

Zhong Yu said, “President He, what can I do for you at this late hour?”

He Yu said, “Tell the producer of ‘Bath of Fire and Phoenix’ that Chu Xi is not suitable for this movie. Tell the director of ‘Fate of the Sword Immortal’ that Chu Xi can try this movie, but the actress playing the third female lead is a little problematic.”

Zhong Yu said, “Alright, I understand. Don’t worry, Mr. He. I’ll get it done immediately!”

He was He Yu’s manager and his subordinate. Conversations like today had happened countless times in the past three years. Every time President He used his power and connections, it wasn’t for his own career, but to cut off Chu Xi’s resources.

Chu Xi wasn’t suitable for that drama? It was President He who thought that she wasn’t suitable for it.

There was something wrong with the third female lead? It was just because President He hated her and wanted to replace her.

In the end, she sighed helplessly. She felt like she was serving a demon. It was no wonder that Chu Xi wanted to escape. It seemed like he doted on her, but in reality, she was imprisoned. But how could she escape? The He family’s power was far more terrifying than everyone knew about.

…

During the few days she was recuperating, Chu Xi was very obedient. Every time she didn’t cooperate, He Yu would stare at her beautiful face with tears in his eyes. How could she resist?
