Chapter 16: Stay Quiet When You Step on a Landmine 

Zhang Xuanxuan headed towards the parking lot to drive herself home after her scenes at F University ended.

The price a woman pays for beauty is unimaginable for men, such as these beautiful stiletto heels. If you wear them for a long time, your feet will be sore, but they can also get stuck at any time.

Zhang Xuanxuan was trapped between her sports car and someone else's private car, her heels firmly stuck in the cracks of the bricks. Miss Zhang, who was used to being elegant, looked around to see if anyone was there and hurriedly lowered her head to pull her heels out.

“...Zhang Xuanxuan!” A girl's excited voice came from behind, “It's Zhang Xuanxuan!”

Zhang Xuanxuan turned around and saw several college students who recognized her and excitedly gathered around to take pictures. She was someone who has seen all kinds of wind and waves. She leaned against the car door behind her and striked a beautiful pose, "Hello, are you all out of class?"

“Yeah, Zhang Xuanxuan, I'm your fan, can I take pictures?”

"Of course you can." Aren't you already taking pictures?

When a book was handed over, Zhang Xuanxuan patiently took it over and signed her name.

“Sorry, excuse me…”

Ye Chen came to the parking lot for his car. For some unknown reason, there were a group of students in front of it. It was not until he walked to the center of the storm that he saw the big star Miss Zhang Xuanxuan leaning on the door of his car while holding a fan signing session.

Ye Chen was in a rush, so he didn't have the patience to wait for them, “I'm sorry, please make way, this is my car.”

The students stepped aside and greeted “Mr. Ye!”

Tian Jingzhi and Ye Chen did not date long enough to introduce each other to their best friends. However, Zhang Xuanxuan had a full grasp on Tian Jingzhi’s every boyfriend. She had a good impression of this Teacher Ye, at least she thought he was far from a "wolf in sheep’s clothes" as Tian Jingzhi had described him to be.

Ye Chen saw that the other party not only did not move, but stuck firmly to his car, he smiled helplessly, "Miss Zhang, although you are beautiful, but..."

Zhang Xuanxuan suddenly hugged his arm and asked affectionately, “Ye Chen, you’re done with class?”

“...”

“Are these your students?...So cute… Teacher Ye and I are good friends...We made an appointment for dinner, so let’s end the photoshop for now, ok?”

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, why was she acting so familiar?

Ye Chen looked her up and down, and immediately found the crux of the problem. Her heel was stuck in the gap. If she wanted his help, he would have to charge interest. He gave a wicked smile and immediately embraced Zhang Xuanxuan's waist generously, intimately holding her in his arms.

Zhang Xuanxuan was startled and her body stiffened, but she couldn't push it away due to the situation, so she still smiled calmly.

Ye Chen agreed: “Yes. Let’s end it today. Artists also need privacy.”

The students looked at the two people and after an ambiguous "Oh…", before they dispersed obediently.

When there were only the two of them left in the parking lot, Zhang Xuanxuan pushed Ye Chen away like she had touched something dirty. She frowned and was about to burn the bridge after crossing it, “Thank you. But now we can talk about Mr. Ye's sexual harassment...you…”

Ye Chen squatted down suddenly, Zhang Xuanxuan was stunned for a moment, but found that he just squatted down and grabbed the heel of her shoe. With some force he pulled. It. Out. 

Ye Chen raised his head and smiled.

“It's really hard to be a woman...but now we can talk about why Miss Zhang knows my name?”

Zhang Xuanxuan paused and said the truth: “I saw you before when you went to the filming site to pick up Tian Jingzhi. And everyone knows about your cheating.”

It seems that his reputation spread throughout the entertainment industry, Ye Chen didn't care at all, how could he live a free and unrestrained life just because of his stained reputation?

Ye Chen stood up and smiled slightly, “I heard that you and my ex-girlfriend don't get along, so now we have something to talk about when we sit together. I can understand the reason why you don't get along with her. Her looks are so deceiving; she looks like a fairy on TV. She's beautiful and cute like a Barbie doll, but her temper and mouth are really bad in private. She even told everyone I cheated.”

Zhang Xuanxuan frowned, for her, being long-tongued was one of the most disgusting behaviors.

“...However, Tian Jingzhi never spoke ill of you in front of me.”

Zhang Xuanxuan's eyebrows slightly relaxed, it seems that this person is not so annoying.

“You didn't cheat?”

“It's basic courtesy not to cheat with girls.”

“I hope you will always retain this courtesy.”

“Sure, you can try it with me.” Ye Chen looked at the time, “But let’s save this matter for another day. I still have important matters to attend to, so I bid my farewell.”

Ye Chen smiled and got into the driver's seat of the car. He gave Zhang Xuanxuan a wink, before neatly shifting to reverse gear and leaving the parking space.

Watching the car go away, Zhang Xuanxuan laughed with annoyance, “Frivolous.”

…

“What?! You were molested by the Scumbag Ye?!”

Tian Jingzhi was shocked and almost spit out her black tea.

Zhang Xuanxuan, who was across from her, gracefully added a sugar cube to the cup with a small silver spoon. She smiled without changing her expression, “Yes, when your ex-boyfriends are involved, things will always go in a strange and unfortunate direction.”

Tian Jingzhi had a very understanding expression on her face: “For example, Scumbag Ye has now set his eyes on you?”

Zhang Xuanxuan smiled slightly, “I haven't seen a man who hasn't been attracted to me. What I'm worried about is that Ye Chen wants to inquire about you through me."

Tian Jingzhi knew that the only thing Scumbag Ye loved most besides himself was the mummified corpse. Many countries in the world allowed homosexual marriges, but have she heard of a country that allows the living to marry the dead.

Tian Jingzhi rolled her eyes, “He doesn’t care about me, he was looking for the resurrected mummy.”

Zhang Xuanxuan was taken aback: "Resurrected mummy?"

Tian Jingzhi fumbled and quickly covered up her mistake, “...Haha, I’m just repeating the same scene that I saw on TV. I'll be honest, based on what I know about Ye Renshui, it's just a matter of minutes for him to fall in love with you. You fit all of the criterias of his requirements for a perfect mate.”

“So what?”

“No way!”

Zhang Xuanxuan stopped, looked at her, and laughed. If they were to mold themselves into other people’s standards, then they would never live a good life.

Just halfway through the afternoon tea, Tian Jingzhi's mobile phone received a terrible message: A charge of $62,000.00 on X month X day at 3:22pm was placed on your credit card ending in 3687.

Tian Jingzhi froze. Could it be that she encountered the legendary online fraud? She was just a caring person who digs wells in Africa. Don’t fraud gangs have a sense of public morality? She immediately dialed the bank's service number: “Hello, my credit card seems to have been stolen... Please help me check... What? The bank's online store delivery? Where? XX Garden XX…”

Hmm? Why does this address sound familiar?

Zhang Xuanxuan glanced at her speechlessly: “It's your own home address.”
