Yan Zheng’s body was warm and soft, rubbing against Si Yueting like a little puppy, seemingly searching for a comfortable position.
Once she found it, she directly treated him as a body pillow, not only tightly wrapping her arms around his waist but also lifting one leg to drape over him.
Although Si Yueting had no sensation in his calves, her restless leg under the nightgown kept rubbing against his thigh. Si Yueting’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and as he reached out to move her leg, he touched skin that was tender and smooth, like a peeled hard-boiled egg. His palm instantly grew sweaty.
Hearing her mumbling something, Si Yueting leaned closer. He swore that if she dared to call another man’s name in his bed, he would kick her off!
Then he heard Yan Zheng talking in her sleep,
“Master, don’t worry, I’ll soon have them all dealt with…”
The aura around Si Yueting gradually turned cold. Did “them” in her words refer to the Si family?
His large hand tightened around her waist. He was determined to see what this woman, who appeared to be helping the Si family on the surface, was actually scheming behind the scenes!
Yan Zheng snored during the first half of the night and ground her teeth during the second half. Si Yueting wanted to leave but was trapped by those ‘waist-locking hands’ and couldn’t get away. When he came down for breakfast the next morning, Old Mrs. Si teased him,
“Eldest, what were you busy with last night staying up late? How did you end up looking like this?”
Old Mrs. Si was delighted inwardly—sure enough, a young couple needs to sleep in the same bed to better promote ‘communication’ of feelings!
Was the little great-grandson she had been longing for finally on its way?
Yan Zheng woke up late. Although sleeping on the luxurious soft seats in the movie theater was also comfortable, it couldn’t compare to the comfort of Si Yueting’s tens-of-thousands mattress. This sleep left her feeling refreshed and energetic!
Seeing the dark circles under his eyes that were even darker than Si Yueting’s face, Yan Zheng suddenly burst out laughing,
“How come after just one night sleeping with me, you’ve become so kidney-deficient? Anyone who didn’t know would think I sucked all your yang energy dry last night! Don’t worry, when we come back tonight, I’ll give you a couple of acupuncture needles on your kidneys to strengthen them properly!”
Old Mrs. Si couldn’t help but cough a few times, her old face turning bright red.
Si Yueting glared at Yan Zheng,
“Shut up!”
Yan Zheng closed her mouth and obediently drank her porridge, but her inner monologue didn’t quiet down at all:
[He’s kidney-deficient but won’t let anyone say it? Such a stubborn man!]
After breakfast, Si Yueting went upstairs to change clothes. Qin Zhao approached and said,
“Si Zong, regarding the company’s previous investment in ‘Shining Boy’ that Ji Zeming is filming, the five million was spent in just one month. Last night, Ji Zeming’s agent called demanding the company inject another five million!”
He felt embarrassed even saying the name of this drama. He didn’t know how Ji Zeming had the nerve to play a fifteen-year-old boy at the advanced age of thirty-five!
Yan Zheng found the name familiar:
[‘Shining Boy’? Isn’t this the middle-aged campus idol drama that Si Lingyin rejected several times?]
[This drama never even made it to release because Ji Zeming ordered two servings of ‘Roujiamo’ takeout that were under eighteen, and was directly reported and sent to prison. This time, Si Yueting using him as the car spokesperson not only severely damaged the company’s image, but the stock plummeted so badly even his mother wouldn’t recognize it!]
Old Mrs. Si was astonished inwardly. These days, even ordering takeout has minimum age requirements? If you don’t meet them, you get reported?
And the company would suffer image damage because of this person, with stocks falling drastically?
Si Yueting never expected that Ji Zeming, who always maintained a positive public image and portrayed himself as a devoted husband, would actually be this kind of person behind the scenes!
The company had chosen Ji Zeming as their spokesperson precisely because, as a musical prodigy, his songs were always filled with positive energy, aligning perfectly with the concept of their newly launched car. Therefore, the company purchased his latest hit song and had him perform it in the car commercial.
Since many companies wanted this song, Ji Zeming insisted that the company invest in the youth campus drama he had acquired.
Although Si Yueting wasn’t optimistic about the market prospects or the director of this campus drama, such productions didn’t require much funding. He agreed but set the maximum investment at ten million yuan.
They had signed the cooperation agreement just a month ago. It didn’t matter if Ji Zeming wanted to pocket the ten million as quickly as possible—the Si family wasn’t short on money.
But the biggest fear for a spokesperson is a scandal, especially one as severe as Ji Zeming ending up in jail!
Even if he compensated the company according to the agreement, the damage to the company’s reputation would be immeasurable!
Si Yueting’s expression grew increasingly grim. Based on Yan Zheng’s earlier inner thoughts, this matter was almost certainly true.
But the company had already signed a contract with Ji Zeming. If they breached it first, the compensation would amount to a staggering one hundred million yuan!
As a businessman, Si Yueting naturally couldn’t just hand over one hundred million to Ji Zeming for no reason.
Since Ji Zeming enjoyed “ordering takeout,” he surely wouldn’t stop at just once.
Just as Si Yueting was about to have Qin Zhao secretly gather evidence to preemptively force Ji Zeming to breach the contract first, he heard Yan Zheng’s inner voice again:
[So Gu Yingxin is Ji Zeming’s fan girl. For Gu Yingxin’s sake, Gu Jiusi also plans to buy Ji Zeming’s new song as the theme for his movie. He’s going to the “Shining Boy” set today to negotiate the copyright with Ji Zeming!]
[This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pass this ticking time bomb to the next sucker! Too bad Si Yueting mistakes a landmine for a treasure—he’d never let Ji Zeming go to Gu Jiusi.]
“Boss, I think you should go check out the set! Since I have nothing to do at home anyway, I’ll take Zheng Yatou to the set for a stroll and also see how Lingyin’s filming is going.”
As the only one who could hear Yan Zheng’s inner thoughts, Old Mrs. Si felt the weight of responsibility heavy on her shoulders!
Hmph, even if Ji Zeming was her eldest’s true love, she would force him to give him up today!
Si Yueting had Qin Zhao prepare the car.
As for Yan Zheng, Ji Zeming’s collaboration with the Si family had nothing to do with her. She just wanted to see how Si Lingyin was doing.
Yesterday, she had deliberately kept Huo Yanxiu a bit longer, breaking his habit of always staying by her side no matter what. She wondered if Si Lingyin felt like something was missing now?
While flipping through the Fate Ledger, Yan Zheng suddenly exclaimed inwardly:
[Wow! Si Lingyin slept with the bodyguard Little Wolf Dog? Tsk tsk, truly a wolf cub—fast, fierce, and accurate when hunting!]
Old Mrs. Si, who had taken a sip of water before leaving, nearly choked!
Although she also thought that bodyguard was quite good, their speed was practically faster than a plane!
But wasn’t Si Lingyin just yesterday trying to steal the household register to marry that Jiang Chao?
【The scheming Little Milk Dog will use extreme measures today to expose his relationship with Si Lingyin, making it impossible and even frightening for her to break up with him! Just the right time to visit the film set and observe the Little Milk Dog’s acting skills firsthand!】
Si Yueting frowned. Extreme measures?
