“Because Fu Yu’s involved?” Guan Ying suddenly stared at her.
Her question came so suddenly, catching Changqing off-guard. Her eyes flickered unconsciously. “Of course. Brother Fu Yu is quite a good man.”
Guan Ying laughed.
Really?
Perhaps he’s a good man in her eyes.
However, to me, he’s not.
“Guan Ying, come over for a while. Let me introduce you to the director.” Guan Ying’s new manager, Xue Gao, rushed over.
Guan Ying stood up and took a few steps before asking, “Changqing, do you want to join me…”
Before she even finished speaking, she was pulled out by Xue Gao.
On the way, Xue Gao chided her with a serious look: “Don’t think that with CEO Fu as your backing, you have the capabilities to guide people. He can boost you for a few days, so you have to grab onto those few days of opportunities. Your friends around you, no matter who they are, are all your competitors after entering this industry. What if the director takes a fancy to her when you bring her over…”
“If you’re not resolute about being selfish and unscrupulous, don’t think of succeeding in this industry.”
Guan Ying listened on, staying silent the entire journey.
On the balcony, Changqing ate silently.
She was aware of what Xue Gao was thinking and cursed at him silently in her heart. She had no intention of going.
“Look who’s here. Didn’t you have a lot of people accompanying you?” Chi Yining suddenly appeared in her line of vision, a cold smile hanging on her delicate face. “I’m even a little afraid to talk to you now. After all, you’re the popular one at the station. Other than having a special relationship with Zuo Qian, you also climbed up to Fu Yu, this high branch. Sister Changqing, you have to teach me your tricks too; tell me what methods you used.”
Changqing was already in a bad mood and after hearing her words, her anger raged like fire. She said straightforwardly, “Yeah, I have Fu Yu as my backing right now, so you better be careful. I might tell on you and you wouldn’t even know how you leave the station.”
Chi Yining’s face changed. “Sure, the world is always changing. We’ll see who gets the last laugh.”
On the balcony downstairs, after swirling the bright and glistening liquid in his glass, Zhan Mingwei looked at Song Chuyi who just arrived. He lifted his glass slightly, smiling radiantly. “Another woman who has Fu Yu as her backing. However, isn’t your dignity as a husband a little too low?”
Song Chuyi’s expression was already as cold as the moonlight outside.
He put his glass down and turned to walk away from the balcony without an expression.
Zhan Mingwei spread his arms and leaned on the railing in a good mood. It seemed that a good show would be staged upstairs soon. He better watch it.
Changqing ate alone for a while and felt that everything was tasteless. She happened to notice that there were two bottles of red wine in the cabinet against the wall. She actually had some of the same preferences as Yan Lei and was craving a little alcohol.
She held the bottle up, about to open it when a deep man’s voice came through from behind her suddenly: “I actually didn’t know my wife loves to drink.”
She turned around. Song Chuyi looked so smart in his suit that night; he almost dazzled her. Normally, he looked cold and aloof like an ink painting. Tonight, he was tall and arrogant, outstanding in appearance. A faint light twinkled in the depths of his dark eyes.
The bottle opener in Changqing’s hand suddenly slipped.
He caught it from below with one hand and moved his dark, red lips elegantly. “Even if Fu Yu didn’t have time to accompany you, surely there’s no need for you to drink alone here?”
Changqing cursed at him ten thousand times.
“You… What are you doing here?” she asked foolishly.

After asking the question, she looked behind him nervously, hoping Guan Ying and the others wouldn’t return at this time.
“Afraid to be seen by Fu Yu?” Song Chuyi grabbed her fair wrist. Hidden in the darkness of the night, his face seemed even darker.
“No…” after saying that, Changqing suddenly didn’t feel any need to be scared since she wasn’t in the wrong. Therefore, she opened her eyes wider and said, “So what if he sees? I’m upright and aboveboard.”
“Then who was the one just now who said she has Fu Yu as her backing and if she offends you, she wouldn’t know how she left the station?” Song Chuyi saw Changqing’s face flushing red, and he took that to be guilt.
Changqing was indeed guilty, and her eyes flickered awkwardly. “I said that to anger Chi Yining on purpose since she kept humiliating me.”
“Was she really humiliating you or was that really the truth?” Song Chuyi stared at her silently with his deep eyes.
Changqing realized something and a surge of anger rose. “You think I’m just like her?”
“Changqing, I heard what you said tonight with my own ears. Just for you, Fu Yu personally ordered your boss to have you as the second female lead, otherwise, he would withdraw his investment. Now that things came to this, can I still believe that you have nothing going on with Fu Yu?” Song Chuyi tightened his grip on her wrist slightly.
Changqing frowned in pain. Her eyes were strained from grievance and anger.
She could endure the numerous rumors from people at the station, but if even Song Chuyi believed them… She was extremely disappointed. “Song Chuyi, let me tell you—when I got married to you, I was innocent.”
“That’s true. Your first kiss was still intact.” Song Chuyi laughed frivolously. “Changqing, actually, I know you still have your first. When I performed a checkup on you, I felt your hymen and that was also why I was willing to marry you so quickly. I was actually quite shocked when you told me your occupation. Very few in your industry can still hold fast to theirs.”
“I see… then why did you still say those humiliating things to me?” Changqing’s face flushed red. Her body felt like it was on fire, and her eyes sparkling like water stared resentfully at him before she lowered her gaze.
A strange feeling seemed to have surged at the spot he touched that day.
She bit her lip and her soft lips were red, like jelly, inciting the urge for one to take a bite.
Song Chuyi suppressed the throbbing sensation in his body regretfully and he said lightly, “I happened to be in a bad mood that day. Maybe I have some prejudice against the people in your industry, but even after our interactions, I still don’t know you well enough. Maybe our marriage was a mistake. I won’t force you. We can settle our divorce procedures after a year.”
“Divorce?” Changqing was stiff from shock.
Although her marriage with Song Chuyi wasn’t built on genuine feelings, she never once thought of divorce.
Why the sudden mention of divorce? Could it be that he realized he loved Guan Ying the most and therefore regretted marrying her?
“Mm, after all, we weren’t married for long, so a sudden divorce would make it difficult to explain to both families.” Song Chuyi turned around. The faint light from the garden was cast on his exquisite face, which looked very dark. “Let’s divorce after a year. We’ll just say we’re unsuitable for each other, so we’ll have a reasonable explanation. Besides, your father’s company would probably be on the right track after a year.”
This was indeed good news to Changqing, but she felt stuffy and upset in her heart.
She thought perhaps it was because she wasn’t charismatic enough.
She lowered her head. Song Chuyi was looking at her outfit.
Her white, strapless gown suited her delicate figure with perfect curves. On her dress were many exquisite, embroidered roses. She was wearing silver heels. Her black hair draped over her snow-white shoulders, giving off a delicate and sexy allure.
