“Why are you here?”
The moment Su An’an stepped into the entryway, she looked up and saw Bai Jin standing not far away.
She froze in place, biting her lips, her gaze sweeping across the living room before finally landing on the man sound asleep on the sofa.
“What did you do to Ah Zhan?”
Bai Jin raised her eyebrows and shot back, “A man and a woman alone together — what do you think we could have done? Or… what do you want us to have done?”
Since Su An’an had already misunderstood, doing nothing would actually feel like a waste of the situation.
“Bai Jin, you’re shameless!”
Hearing this, Su An’an felt even more distressed. She quickly walked to the sofa and immediately noticed a red lipstick mark on Gu Zhan’s shirt. She grabbed it in one swift motion.
“What is this?”
Bai Jin glanced at the shirt, remembering that the mark was left by another woman earlier.
But now —
“It’s just a lipstick print. Why are you so scared?”
Bai Jin stepped closer, stopping just a few steps away from Su An’an, and said softly, “You’re living with Gu Zhan now — aren’t you already closer to him than anyone else? It’s just something superficial. Caring too much about it won’t do you any good.”
Those last words were meant as a reminder to Su An’an.
But Su An’an took it as mockery.
“Gu Zhan, get up!”
She suddenly noticed that Gu Zhan had opened his eyes, and her voice trembled with tears. “Tell me — what’s going on between you and her? Why did you bring another woman into our home?”
In her mind, this villa belonged only to her and Gu Zhan.
Yet now, he had brought someone else here.
“Why are you shouting?”
Gu Zhan lifted his eyelids slightly, his dark eyes filled with irritation. His voice was cold: “Bai Jin just happened to run into me and saw that I was drunk, so she brought me back. Don’t make a scene.”
He hadn’t even settled the score with Su An’an for being too intimate with male actors while filming — yet she dared to question him first.
“I’m making a scene?”
Su An’an pointed at herself, eyes full of disappointment. “You brought another woman home for no reason, and on top of that, there’s a lipstick mark from another woman on you — and you still say I’m making a scene?”
“Am I wrong?”
Gu Zhan’s gaze turned icy as he tugged his collar aside, revealing marks on his collarbone.
Su An’an’s eyes instantly reddened.
Tears rolled silently down her cheeks.
“Su An’an, don’t forget your identity,” Gu Zhan said coldly, his disgust growing when he saw her tears.
He stood up, walked over to her, grabbed her chin, and warned in a low voice, “Don’t meddle in things that aren’t your business. Just do what you’re supposed to do.”
Su An’an felt as if her heart had been ripped open, cold wind rushing inside.
“What am I to you?”
She looked straight into his eyes and asked word by word, “Am I some kind of pet you keep? You tell me what to do, and if you’re unhappy, you can hurt me whenever you want?”
“Or do you just like women like Bai Jin? If so, why did you come after me in the first place?”
Bai Jin stood aside watching this emotional drama unfold.
Before the fight dragged her in again, she quickly spoke up, “I just remembered I have something else to do. President Gu — next time you drink outside, please be more careful.”
Their toxic love triangle was none of her business.
She hurried out of the villa — unaware that the moment she stepped outside, someone secretly took her photo.
Outside — in a taxi
As Bai Jin got out of the taxi, she was still a bit dazed.
She hadn’t expected Gu Zhan and Su An’an’s relationship to be so complicated and entangled.
“Jin’er!”
Just as she was about to reach her front door, someone suddenly grabbed her arm.
Sheng Muchen’s tense, handsome face appeared before her. His voice was low and angry. “Where did you go? Why are you back so late?”
“Let go of me!”
Bai Jin frowned and tried hard to shake his hand off. “Let go! We have nothing to do with each other anymore. If you don’t release me, I’ll call the police — and when it makes the news, the one embarrassed will be the Sheng family.”
“Call the police?”
Sheng Muchen laughed coldly. “Go ahead and see if anyone will care. Before, you had Ji Xiaoyun protecting you — but now there’s no one here.”
“This time, I’ll hide you well. No one will come and take you away.”
Has he gone insane?
Bai Jin stared at him like he was a madman and struggled even harder.
“Let go! Let go of me!” she shouted, hoping someone would hear her.
The next second, a pair of cold hands pressed against her neck.
Bai Jin froze.
“Jin’er, just be good and talk to me,” Sheng Muchen said obsessively. “If you listen, I won’t hurt you. But if you don’t… I might lose control.”
“What are you doing?”
At that moment of despair, a voice suddenly cut in.
Ji Xiaoyun approached with one hand in his pocket, looking casual yet intimidating. His cool aura carried an overwhelming pressure.
Bai Jin glanced behind him — a Maybach was parked there. Clearly, he had been watching from a distance.
“Step aside.”
When Sheng Muchen saw Ji Xiaoyun, his expression darkened. “I have something to say to Jin’er. This is between us — you’d better stay out of it.”
“Do you want to go with him?”
Ji Xiaoyun raised his eyebrow at Bai Jin, as if he really would let her go if she said yes.
Bai Jin’s inner voice immediately exploded:
【Are you crazy? Of course not!】
【Aren’t you supposed to be the devoted second male lead who snatches me away at this moment?!】
【Are these two childish tyrant CEOs competing on who’s more immature?!】
Ji Xiaoyun clearly heard her thoughts — and unexpectedly chuckled.
Sheng Muchen and Bai Jin both looked at him like they’d seen a ghost.
“I want her,” Ji Xiaoyun said coldly.
Before Sheng Muchen could respond, two other voices rang out together.
“Jin’er, why didn’t you invite Muchen and Xiaoyun inside? What are you doing standing outside?”
Father Bai and Mother Bai had come down after hearing the commotion.
They thought someone was causing trouble — but instead found their daughter with two powerful men.
“Mom, it’s nothing. They have things to do and can’t come in.”
Bai Jin quickly freed herself from Sheng Muchen, walked to Mother Bai, and returned home with her.
But things weren’t over
After Bai Jin went inside, a new trending topic slowly climbed to the top of the internet.
The photo under the hot search showed Bai Jin leaving Gu Zhan’s villa — looking rushed and uneasy, as if she had done something improper.
The comments below were filled with speculation that Bai Jin might have a secret relationship with someone else.
