Chapter 38: Keep
Chapter 38
Shen Shuyao was a little scared. She didn't understand what the man wanted to do, just because of that one night, he signed her?
Suddenly a thought flashed through her mind, could it be that he wanted to keep her as a mistress?
Ji Nian looked at the female lead suddenly hiding behind her, feeling a little embarrassed, and turned to ask quietly: "Shuyao, what's wrong?"
Shen Shuyao shook her head. Her eyes were like a frightened rabbit, and she said, "I want to go back."
How could she go back now? Ji Nian was shocked. If she went back, how would the plot go on? She hurriedly pulled the woman out from behind her and said in a low voice, "It's okay, I'm with you."
Shen Shuyao was really scared now. This man made her feel very dangerous. Why did he want to sign her?
At this point, the two managers were also looking confused. Liu Yi was also surprised. This top rich man, women would normally rush at him in droves. This was the first time he had seen one wanting to avoid him.
Ye Jingzhan raised his eyebrows, became interested, waved his hand to signal Liu Yi to let the two managers leave.
Now in the office, there was only Ji Nian and the male lead looking at each other, while Shen Shuyao kept her head low, anxiously holding her hand.
"Ahem..." Ji Nian awkwardly cleared her throat and said hoarsely, "Uh, Mr. Ye, please understand... our Shuyao is a little shy... uh, well... she has social anxiety disorder..."
Ji Nian was also extremely nervous, even stuttering as she spoke. As expected of the male lead, his aura was too powerful.
It was only then that Ye Jingzhan noticed this woman. He saw that she was wearing a mask and plain T-shirt and jeans.
He frowned, his eyes became even colder. He didn't like having strange women so close in his field of vision.
"Miss, I need to be alone with Miss Shen..."
"Of course! I'll go out right away!" Before the male lead could even finish speaking, Ji Nian immediately gave the female lead a look wishing her good luck, and rushed out the door without stopping. Her speed, her reaction.
Even Ye Jingzhan was taken aback for a moment. Usually those women would desperately find excuses to get close to him, right? But now, they were avoiding him like he was a monster?
Shen Shuyao watched as the woman left her behind without any hesitation. She was stunned, shrinking her shoulders, and looked up at the man, summoning her courage to ask, "What do you want to do?"
Ye Jingzhan stood up and walked over to the woman. Seeing her keep backing away, he frowned, and directly reached out to grab her hand. He was very surprised that he had no abnormal reactions at all.
Shen Shuyao was frightened and couldn't speak. She looked at the man with watery eyes and said in a crying voice, "Mr. Ye, I...I..."
"Why are you crying?" Ye Jingzhan was puzzled. How did she start crying just like that?
Shen Shuyao looked up at the man. He was very tall, she only reached his shoulders. She carefully struggled free from the man's hand and said, "Mr. Ye...you...you scared me..."
Ye Jingzhan sneered. This was interesting, the first time a woman had resisted him so much. He maliciously pulled her over to him, pinched her cheeks, and carefully examined her appearance.
It had to be said, her face was exquisite, innocent yet alluring. Her big eyes were full of spirit, with a typical goose egg face. Her small, straight nose was the finishing touch. Her pure white dress gave her an ethereal fairy-like feeling.
Shen Shuyao was forced to stare at the man, but she was attracted by his deep eyes.
After examining the woman, Ye Jingzhan found that she was staring blankly at him. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Miss Shen."
Shen Shuyao came back to her senses, feeling a little embarrassed. Suddenly she recalled waking up that morning, seeing the man bare-chested. Her face instantly turned red.
"Why did you sign me over..." Shen Shuyao didn't dare look at the man, her eyes looking elsewhere as she asked.
"That was Miss Shen's first time. I have to take responsibility, don't I?" Ye Jingzhan's eyes unusually carried a hint of teasing.
Hearing this, Shen Shuyao's face turned even redder. She stammered, "Mr. Ye, we...we're all adults... I won't take advantage of you..."
Ye Jingzhan raised his eyebrows. He found her very special. She didn't make him feel disgusted or trigger any abnormal reactions. He might as well keep her by his side and explore further.
"I've already told the manager here. Your previous company wasn't that good either. Stay here and you'll get good resources." Ye Jingzhan strode over and sat down on the sofa.
Shen Shuyao was stunned. What did he mean? So this man was insulting her? Using that one night as compensation for her?
"What do you mean, Mr. Ye?" Shen Shuyao asked.
Ye Jingzhan looked back at the woman who had suddenly calmed down. "I thought Miss Shen would understand."
"You want to keep me as a mistress?" Shen Shuyao laughed. Suddenly a surge of anger rose in her heart.
Ye Jingzhan raised his eyebrows. Mistress? Not a bad term. But at first, he just wanted to keep this woman under his nose.
With her saying it like this, he thought about it. Keeping a mistress was indeed a good method. It was his first time being intimate with a woman, and the feeling wasn't bad. He could try more.
"Mr. Ye is joking." Shen Shuyao's expression turned cold. "I won't sell my body."
Ye Jingzhan nodded. "If Miss Shen wants to think it through, unwanted artists from Huayu won't be wanted at other companies either..."
"What do you mean, Mr. Ye?" Shen Shuyao was threatened, shock in her eyes.
"Stay by my side." Ye Jingzhan said coldly. The chill in his eyes made people shudder.
After hearing this, Shen Shuyao's whole body trembled with anger. She had never seen such a shameless person before. Now she wasn't afraid at all, glaring at the man.
At this time outside, Ji Nian was still trying hard to get close with Liu Yi, thinking that getting close to the people around the male lead was a good idea.
But this Assistant Liu really lived up to being by the male lead's side. He was very vigilant and barely spoke to her. It was all Ji Nian occasionally murmuring to herself, making the situation quite awkward.
She boredly took out her phone and browsed Weibo. She discovered the female lead had really blown up. Her video edits were all over the internet, just like how the novel described, she became famous overnight.
Liu Yi here was also curiously looking at her. This woman wearing a mask, he didn't know who she was.
But she seemed to be trying very hard to get close to him? He sneered to himself. Indeed women were all the same, they would try to flatter when seeing a rich person.
As an assistant, he was also often approached by people with ulterior motives, trying to find opportunities to meet higher-ups. Having been by the president's side for years, he had seen this kind of thing a lot. His eyes inevitably held some contempt.
