“Youyou?”

What is she talking about, saying that Fu Shu bullied her? Is that even possible?

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Ling Ya turned to look at the still composed woman, Fu Shu. She gently petted Youyou’s head, trying to soothe her with care.

“Youyou, are you mistaken? Last night, I asked Fu Shu to check on you, so how could she possibly bully you, hmm?”

“But she did bully me!”

Hugging Ling Ya’s waist from behind, Youyou buried her whole face in Ling Ya’s embrace, her voice muffled with a hint of barely noticeable sobbing.

“She pulled my collar, choked me, and was mean to me. It was so scary~”

“Ling Ya, can you hit her? Beat her up?”

“She’s so hateful.”

She was on the verge of tears due to her stifled feelings.

In this unfamiliar world, she didn’t have Bai Qu, only Ling Ya.

Youyou’s pitiful and aggrieved appearance left Ling Ya at a loss, and it surprised Ji Mo. As for Fu Shu, she simply watched Youyou and Ling Ya quietly, her expression unchanged. No one knew what she was thinking.

“Fu Shu?”

Youyou didn’t seem to be lying. Could Fu Shu really have done something?

With a slight frown, Ling Ya looked at Fu Shu, wanting an explanation.

The woman in the striking red dress had a fierce beauty.

However, Fu Shu’s gaze focused on the woman’s waist.

There were two fair and tender arms there, particularly eye-catching.

“Do I look like someone who would do such things?”

Her clear and cold voice was as refreshing as a spring, and Fu Shu curled her lips with a hint of dignity and elegance between her eyebrows.

Such a person seemed to doubt everything about her, as if it were an insult.

Ling Ya:…

Indeed, she didn’t seem like that kind of person.

“Since we’ve encountered each other, let’s sit here then.”

Casually taking a seat opposite the man, based on Fu Shu’s understanding of Ling Ya, she would never allow Youyou to sit with the man. As expected, she glanced at the reluctant girl beside her and smiled meaningfully.

“Hmph, I hate you!”

She gave Fu Shu a fierce glare. She really detested this lying woman.

“Youyou, how can you be so impolite?” Taking a tissue from the table, Ling Ya wiped the juice off Youyou’s mouth, scolded her gently, and then turned to Fu Shu. “She’s just a child at heart, don’t mind her.”

Fu Shu nodded. “Naturally, I won’t.”

After all, if she pushed her too hard, she might start sobbing again.



After a polite and distant introduction, Ji Mo also had some understanding of the two women’s identities. Seeing Youyou just quietly drinking her juice without saying a word, Ji Mo couldn’t help but feel a little concerned. “What’s wrong? You’ve been downcast all this time. Are you feeling sick?”

Youyou lazily lifted her eyelids at the question.

She looked at Ling Ya, then at Fu Shu, and finally fixed her gaze on the worried Ji Mo.

“I-I’m fine.”

She ultimately didn’t mention the incident of Fu Shu bullying her. Youyou forced a cheerful smile and straightened herself up, no longer wanting to stay with Ling Ya and Fu Shu.

“Ji Mo, let’s go, okay? I’m hungry.”

The two of them, one bullying her and the other not believing her, made Youyou long for Bai Qu and Su Ling, that big scoundrel, even more.

“Oh, alright.”

The girl who was always carefree, pure, and loved to smile now seemed inexplicably burdened with worries. Ji Mo felt a pang in his heart, and Fu Shu’s nerves tightened even more.

“I’ll take her with me. It just so happens that I can also give her a ride home.”

In her cool and deep voice, there was a clear tone that brooked no refusal. Fu Shu firmly held Youyou’s hand under the table, as if afraid she would run away.

“As for Ling Ya, I’ll have someone send you back to the film set later, is that okay?”

“Well…”

Between Ji Mo and Fu Shu, it was natural that Fu Shu made her feel more at ease, but…

“I don’t want to.” Ling Ya was still hesitating, but Youyou decisively refused Fu Shu. She puffed up her cheeks fiercely and forcefully shook off Fu Shu’s hand.

“You’re mean, you big bully. Don’t touch me, get lost!”

“B-Bai… Youyou!”

Provoked by the girl’s repeated actions, Fu Shu disregarded the expressions of Ling Ya and Ji Mo and stood up, pushing Youyou towards the exit.

She was never someone with a good temper. On normal days, she relied on her disguise and maintained a decent appearance. But once her temper flared up, she didn’t care about anyone!

Ling Ya and Ji Mo behind her had already realized what was happening. Fu Shu found Youyou too noisy and struggling too fiercely, so she simply picked her up horizontally.

As for the two people chasing after them, they were naturally stopped by the bodyguards.

“Youyou, Fu Shu!”

“Stop, you damn woman!”

Through the car window, Youyou looked at Ling Ya and Ji Mo struggling with the bodyguards, and her mood inexplicably improved a little. They all cared about her, including Ling Ya. So it must be Fu Shu who was too bad. She was like the antagonist Bai Qu had described before, hypocritical, cunning, and evil-hearted.

【Target Favorability +10. Current favorability: 85. Host, keep going!】

The sudden system prompt made Youyou freeze for a moment.

She nestled in the passenger seat, watching Ling Ya’s figure getting smaller and smaller until she couldn’t see her anymore, feeling strangely upset in her heart.

Beside her, Fu Shu started speeding the car. Youyou’s face turned pale, and she tightly gripped her seatbelt, no longer daring to speak or struggle.

Squeak…

After what felt like a long time, the car finally stopped.

Youyou looked around and realized they were in a deserted area, seemingly on the outskirts of the city.

Youyou:…

Could it be that she intends to kill her and dispose of the body here?

“What’s wrong? Are you scared now?”

Seeing the girl trembling, wishing to shrink herself out of existence, Fu Shu sneered in anger. She slapped the steering wheel with a loud thud, her expression becoming extremely gloomy. “Weren’t you talkative before? Complaining to Ling Ya, accusing me of bullying you, even trying to punch and kick me, yelling at me to let you go?”

“What’s the matter? Where did all that courage go? Why won’t you speak up?”

“Bai Youyou, you seemed so capable. Keep going, won’t you?”

“I’d like to see who will come to save you!”

With each word, each sentence, Fu Shu’s words made Youyou tremble. The air conditioning in the car blew coldly, making Youyou feel cold all over, both physically and emotionally, feeling somewhat empty.

“Heh.”

Looking at the cowardly Youyou, Fu Shu became even angrier. She reclined the driver’s seat and reached out her long arm, bringing Youyou towards her.

“So useless.”

Disdainfully pinching Youyou’s tender face, Fu Shu lay beneath her, firmly holding onto Youyou’s waist, completely disregarding her feeble struggles.

“You can’t even endure a little bit of grievances. I wonder how Bai Qu managed to raise you. You’re even more delicate than a wealthy young lady. What’s wrong? Are you going to cry again?”

Under the girl’s astonished and frightened gaze, Fu Shu pecked at the corner of her eye with her lips, pressing on the back of Youyou’s head as she kissed from the outer corner of her eye.

“You smile so happily at others on the set. But as soon as you see me, you act like a mouse encountering a cat. Huh, am I that terrifying to make you despise me like this?”

Lifting the girl’s chin, Fu Shu carefully examined her neck and narrowed her eyes slightly. She reached out and gently touched it a few times. “So fair and unblemished, not a trace left. Such a delicate little liar. Did I really hurt you that much yesterday?”

She knew what she had done.

In fact, it was nothing significant. It was just that she was too delicate.

Youyou:…

At this moment, Youyou was completely dumbfounded, staring at the woman beneath her, utterly bewildered.

‘Xixi!’

The big boss actually kissed her, ah!

【Stay calm, host. Although Xixi doesn’t understand why, isn’t Fu Shu’s behavior better than the derivative plot?】

‘Uhm.’

When she thought of the derivative plot, Youyou shivered involuntarily.

Fu Shu was truly terrifying. She didn’t want to go through all that crying.

“Are you cold?”

Furrowing her eyebrows, Fu Shu reduced the air conditioning and draped her suit jacket over Youyou, slightly dissatisfied. “Your constitution is too weak. You should exercise more.”

However, considering that ever since she saw her, she had always had this delicate and helpless appearance, Fu Shu didn’t hold any hope.

—After all, she had Bai Qu doting on her, so she wouldn’t be bullied by anyone.

“If only I could go back.”

If that were the case, she would disregard everything and take her away from Bai Qu’s side. Or perhaps, she would throw away her dignity and pride and beg Bai Qu.

Quietly watching Fu Shu’s ‘madness,’ Youyou remained silent, her eyes only flickering with wariness, like a small and stubborn little creature.

Gradually, Youyou let her guard down.

She drowsily leaned against Fu Shu’s body, listening to her talk about things she couldn’t understand at all, and eventually fell asleep.

“Ah.”

A helpless sigh escaped Fu Shu’s lips.

She kissed Youyou’s forehead.

If it weren’t for the fear of disrupting the destined trajectory, the fear that she would never meet this person again in that world, she wouldn’t be so careful.

Bai Qu said that this person would die if they didn’t complete the mission, so even though she hated her to the core at that time, Fu Shu still held her heart tightly and gave it to her.

But, can Bai Qu’s words really be trusted?

Her phone noisily went off every now and again, constantly receiving calls and messages. Fu Shu decided to turn off her phone and didn’t care about what the other person might think.

“Fu… Shu! Fu… Shu!”

With bloodshot eyes, when the sound of the phone shutting down came through the receiver, Ling Ya’s whole world collapsed!

“Youyou! Damn it!”

She was so foolish.

Fu Shu’s real target was Youyou.

All those claims of liking her and wanting to invest in her were fake.

She just wanted to take Youyou away from her!

Her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, throbbing painfully. Ling Ya tightly gripped her phone, her knuckles protruding as her enchanting face twisted in anguish.

“Shouldn’t we… call the police?”

His handsome face showed a hint of frustration, but Ji Mo managed to keep his composure. “Her behavior can be considered a violation of the law, right?”

“Heh, calling the police?”

With a cold laugh, Ling Ya responded sarcastically, “What’s the use of calling the police?”

“Setting aside whether they would even accept such a trivial matter, even if they do, do you think they will immediately go look for Youyou?! Moreover, Fu Shu has power and influence, and she hasn’t caused any actual harm to Youyou. She even has a professional team of lawyers who can turn black into white*!”
