CHAPTER 511

Taio Rong sighed deeply. To him, there was no fuss.

She was a star actress and several more beneficial opportunities would come.

"There's no big deal. Be open-minded. You will gain more."

"More?" She swept her cold gaze over him and when she spoke again, her voice dripped with venom. "She got the chance to be the beauty for StarGlam's new billboard. That was supposed to be my opportunity!"

For a while, since they filmed together, he took his time studying her and knew she always loved the limelight.

Tiao Rong listened carefully, then gave her a reassuring smile. "Qian Qian, don't let this affect your performance. You're incredibly talented, and your time will come. Sometimes, life just throws these curveballs."

Fang Qian Qian huffed at him, scrolling even.

"Listen to me. What is yours will be. It simply means they do not know your worth and it gives you a chance to show them who you are when better opportunities come. Watch, they'll beg you."

As much as she wished to diss his words she knew he was right and nodded in agreement.

"You're right, Taio Rong. I won't let this deter me. I'll focus on my performance and work hard."

As she turned her attention back to the set, the burning determination in her eyes was evident.

Andromeda's sudden rise was causing ripples in the industry, but Fang Qian Qian was not one to back down easily.

The world of the spotlight was competitive, and she was ready to tackle any challenge and obstacle head-on.

********

Andromeda's apartment was bathed in warm, dim light, creating an intimate atmosphere. The table was set with a scrumptious dinner she had prepared herself, a reminder of her hidden culinary talents.

It was a special evening, one filled with joy and possibilities.

Liu Xueyi sat across from her, his dark eyes gleaming with curiosity as Andromeda shared the details of Li Xin's offer from StarGlam.

While she recounted the conversation, Liu Xueyi noticed the excitement bubbling in her voice.

"They want me to be the face of their new cosmetic line," Andromeda beamed, her expressive eyes reflecting her joy. "Can you believe it?"

Liu Xueyi couldn't help but smile in response to her enthusiasm. "I'm thrilled for you, Andy. This is a fantastic opportunity."

They clinked their wine glasses together, toasting to the chance that had come Andromeda's way. It was a moment to celebrate, to relish in the possibilities that lay ahead.

After the toast, to Andromeda's surprise, Liu Xueyi took out his phone and dialled Zheng Wei who had been present during the magazine shoot.

"Zheng Wei, it's Liu Xueyi," he greeted, his voice filled with a sense of rapport. "I wanted to talk to you about Andromeda's offer from StarGlam."

On the other end of the line, Zheng Wei listened attentively, his keen professional instincts at play.

As Liu Xueyi detailed the offer and inquired about his thoughts, the manager's response was positive.

"That sounds like an excellent opportunity," Zheng Wei replied. "Andromeda has the right mix of what Li Xin wants that could make her career a big success. I believe it's a great move for her."

Liu Xueyi smiled and nodded. "Thanks, Zheng Wei. We value your insights."

Andromeda looked at him with curiosity after he ended the call. "What did he say?"

Liu Xueyi leaned back in his chair, a satisfied grin on his face. "He thinks it's a great opportunity. But you know what I asked him? To weigh it against other offers too."

Andromeda blinked, taking in his rationale. "But why? This is such a fantastic offer," she argued.

She studied Liu Xueyi for a minute. The smirk on his lips told her there was more to it.

"You are new to this business, love. Sometimes, you need to play the game. New or not."

Andromeda narrowed her eyes at him, not quite getting what he was on about.

Liu Xueyi leaned forward, his gaze focused and wise.

"Andromeda, sometimes it's not about just taking the first offer that comes your way, no matter how tempting it is. We need to create an image of confidence and selectivity in your career."

Her eyes relaxed, getting an understanding of what Liu Xueyi was on about.

"If we jump at the first opportunity that presents itself, it could make us seem desperate. But when they know you have other options, it gives you more bargaining power. You see, it's not just about accepting the opportunity; it's about how you navigate the industry strategically."

Andromeda nodded in understanding, admiring Liu Xueyi's perspective. She was starting to see that there was much more to this world than she had initially thought.

"Thanks for guiding me through this," she said, her voice filled with gratitude.

Liu Xueyi smiled warmly. "You have the talent, Andromeda. All you need is the right guidance. And together, we'll make your star shine even brighter. I am not satisfied with you, just a step higher. I want that to be your starting point and help you ascend."

Joy filled her heart hearing all these words. Time and again, he never failed to render her speechless with his insights and how knowledgeable he was.

"Oh and I hope no fan post is bugging you?" he chimed.

"No. It's been somewhat peaceful lately. Less hate, more love."

A soft smile crept up Liu Xueyi's lips as he picked up his glass and took a swig of his wine.

"Wait a minute." she lowered her eyes, her gaze scrutinizing him. "What did you do, Xueyi?"

"Nothing much. What every potential boyfriend should do. I had the posts taken down, threatened them with the law and umm… nah, you do not need to know the details. Just no one can mess with my woman and go scot-free."

She bit her lower lip. He looked so sexy in such a dormant and possessive manner and she couldn't help but lick her lips.

Without any form of warning, she dropped her cutlery and rushed in his direction for a hug.

At first, Liu Xueyi was shocked out of his wits but quickly it died down and he hugged her back.

"Gosh, I love you," she said after pulling away from the hug. Just as she turned, wanting to return to her seat, he caught her hand and twirled her back till she had her butt on his thighs.

"Oh my!"

"And where did you think you were going to, young lady?" he asked her, his warm breath tickling her nape.

"Aaaww…" Andromeda moaned as she tilted her head back, giving Liu Xueyi more access to her skin.

He placed light kisses all over her neck before sucking on her skin till he was sure he left a hickey there.

After that, they both focused on their meal, with Liu Xueyi feeding her and vice versa while she remained seated on his thigh.

As time went by, she noticed a bulge in his trousers poking against her butt and teasing ground on him.

"You're playing with fire babe," Liu Xueyi uttered in a husky voice, taking a deep sniff of her hair.

"I love getting burnt," she replied, giggling softly.

The dinner continued with lighthearted conversation, each moment deepening their connection.

After the meal, Andromeda cleared the dishes with Liu Xueyi's help. Still in the kitchen, Andromeda's eyes raked over, recalling one of their first dangerous intimate moments here.

Back then when they both struggled to make sense of their feelings, when his desires burned and when she was there to meet his kisses, fanning the flames of their desires.

As if sharing her thoughts, there was a comfortable silence between them, the kind that spoke volumes without words.

And then, it was like an invisible force pulled them together, Andromeda turned to Liu Xueyi, their eyes locking. She could feel her heart racing, and the air was charged with anticipation.

Without a word, Liu Xueyi stepped closer, drawing her into his embrace. Their lips met in a passionate kiss, like a merging of souls as their bodies melted into one.

Breaking the kiss, Liu Xueyi brushed a lock of hair from Andromeda's face. "I remember when I first kissed you here," he voiced, his breathing ragged and heavy.

Andromeda gazed into his eyes, her own filled with affection and longing. "Yeah. I do too."

"And each time I kiss you, it feels like the first and even that time here. You make me go insane love. I do not know if… I can't live without you."

"I can't too, Xueyi. I'm glad I have you in my life."

"Me too, Andy. Me too."

Andromeda felt naked under his intense gaze but that was a state she had no problem being in.

She wrapped a hand around his neck and snaked her fingers through his hair as they kissed once more.

This time Liu Xueyi sealed her lips again with hard once more, expressing his need and showing her just how much he actually wanted her.

Reciprocating his tempting kisses, she parted her lips eagerly, welcoming his hot tongue as they wrestled for dominance while he moved her over to the counter.

In one swift move, he lifted her by the butt and placed her on it earning a gasp from her as they broke the kiss swiftly.

Gazing deeply into her blue eyes, his whispered his need loud and clear, "I want you, love."
