CHAPTER 114
"Yeah. I only played along that day to warn her so she doesn't get any ideas. I may not have recalled who I slept with but I just knew it wasn't Mo Feng Yi."
"Okay. Continue."
? "Well, you guys plotted properly for me not to cool off so I went to the next room to make use of the telephone, and I…"
"And you stumbled in upon an innocent girl."
"Yes and no."
"Hmm, what do you mean?" Xu Fang inquired, getting to his feet.
While he waited for Liu Xueyi to speak, he helped himself to the wine counter at the corner of the living room and got himself a drink.
Once he was done, he returned with two glasses of wine and set it before them.
"I can hear you."
"Yeah. Like I said, yes and no. Reasons being that, she was equally drugged."

Xu Fang paused. His hands were but a short distance close to his already dropped cup when he heard Liu Xueyi speak.
"Excuse me?"
"Bro. That was exactly how the situation was. We were two horny well-drugged individuals and we took to the pleasure."
"Wow. I bet someone had it in for her," Xu Fang concluded.
"If not, I was going to ask why you made a video and yet did not keep it properly and who released it. Turns out someone was setting her up."
"Yeah. I have been searching for her since that day but turns out, she was with me all along."
He breathed out calmly, "I feel relieved to have finally found her though," Liu Xueyi nodded.
Thankfully for Liu Xueyi, Xu Fang did not take long in processing the situation and the fear that he was beginning to get himself entangled into.
"You fear for her so much, don't you?"
"Yes, but I would stand and fight for her. She is so good and I can see why they want to control her but this path to stardom isn't going to be a smooth one."
"The ride is bumpy bro. She would need you every step of the way."
"Yeah, to help guide her in this wicked world, but my Andy is strong, she is a survivor."
"I agree too. I love her energy. I bet she would triumph."
"Sure, I recall what she told me when she came to see me the first time after our night together."
"What did she say?"
"She is trouble but the things, I Liu Xueyi love trouble. Anyways, it would be fine. Thanks."
"No worries."
As much as he wished to go all in deep with what exactly happened, he kept them to himself and they discussed selective possibilities on tracking down the one who uploaded the video.
By the time they had finished, both had spent another good three hours together and it was time for Xu Fang to leave.
"Hey, Xueyi," Xu Fang called his name calmly, as he placed a hand in his pocket and turned to face his friend.
"Huh?"
"It would be fine, okay? At least now the video is off the internet."
"Yeah." He sighed again before turning to face Xu Fang, placing both hands in his trousers pocket.
"You really need a good sleep. Being up all night wouldn't d you good. Send the documents and I have would review them for you."
"Thanks, man. I would send those that don't need my overall inputs," he winked at Xu Fang, letting out a smile.
"That's like no work at all for me because they all need your input. And now I begin to wonder, this boy, do you even want anyone to help you?"
"It's okay. I can manage."
As much as Xu Fang wanted to believe those words, he couldn't.
"Besides, there are those that you would need to review. I would have them sent to you first before getting to my desk. Do not worry. If it's work you want, I have them."
"Now I think I got myself into the wrong mix, Liu Xueyi. Me and my big mouth."
Both men let out a peal of husky laughter before giving a slight nod while wearing that calm heart-warming smile.
"If not that you need rest, I would say, go to her," Xi Fang suggested.
"My rest can come later. I need to go take care of her."
"Alright then, Xueyi. Go in, get your keys, and then you can go."
With the way Xu Fang had it figured out, one would think he was one step ahead, too bad, Liu Xueti was better.
"Thanks, but," he pulled his hand from his pocket, retrieving a car key and it's remote dangling on his finger.
"Way ahead of you bro."
"Better. Get going. See you at the office tomorrow."
"Oh yeah. I would."

On the other hand, the video became the talk of the city and everyone waited for her response to it.
They could not believe that the image of their star that was written in their hearts a few days ago, became ruined to such a level.
Sadly, Andromeda was busy going through the comments even though she knew better.
Immediately she ended the call with Liu Xueyi, she took her time visiting those sites to see what was said about her.
When she spotted the issue of plagiarism in it, her brows knitted. Her gaze burned with untold hatred at that word.
Plagiarism!
'Fine, Wu Bai. I tried to avoid things at least for the time being but now, you have overdone it.' She let her anger spiral free in her mind.
Shutting her iPad, Andromeda picked up her phone, got settled on the bed, and scanned through some works she had once sent in her email to Wu Bai.
To her surprise, however, they were gone.
Without wasting a second, Andromeda sprang back up into a sitting position, glaring at what she saw.
"That damn bastard! How dare he delete those emails? Not just from his phone but from mine."
She gritted her teeth and let her phone fall to the bed, whipping her gaze through the room.
Her heart thudded wildly in her chest, beating a certain rhythm to her eardrums.
While her brain processed what had been done and how to remedy it.
She always sent the drawings to him via mail but not only did he hide her work, but he also deleted every trace she sent.
'I should have known that scum would do such a thing. Hahaha, no wonder he went through a great deal of work to drug me on the eve of our wedding. That scoundrel.'
Andromeda stood up from her bed and began to pace about the room.
She was deep in thoughts.
Flashes of the said night came to her mind, his wicked plans with Beatrice, how he happily carried her over to the room, and the video.
Her eyes flew open as an idea came to mind.
'Perfect then, I may have lost so much in one night, but I did sleep with someone other than him. First of that is a big f*ck up to his ego. Sigh, now I just need to find out who that man was that was implicated.'
She paused in her thoughts and thought about the matter carefully.
'Wait, what if the man was sent by him too since he was busy banging his top designer?'
She shook her head. She needed something else.
'No, I should get back those emails and speak with Lawyer Chang.'
