CHAPTER 912: CHAPTER 64: AGENT XIA LU

Chapter 64

Yan Yuan thinks people are just annoying, making a fuss over everything.

Isn’t it just a punch? No need to be so dramatic.

Back then, her heart was stabbed with a hole, hurt so badly, and she didn’t make a sound.

Just as Yan Yuan hurried to find some ice, the chef came out with a freshly boiled hot egg.

The chef said to Yan Yuan, "Here, using this to roll and apply heat is the most effective."

Yan Yuan glared at Bai Chenxi, dropped the ice in her hand, took the egg, peeled it, and then placed it on his eye.

Bai Chenxi said nothing, occasionally furrowing his brows, crying out in pain, which always brought a look of disdain from Yan Yuan.

Half an hour later, the black eye circle had noticeably subsided quite a bit.

"Does it still hurt?" Yan Yuan said, putting down the egg in her hand.

Bai Chenxi closed his eyes, enjoying someone’s service.

He heard Yan Yuan’s words, touched his cheek, "Still a little sore, looks like I won’t be able to go out today."

"Don’t go out if you can’t; you really don’t have the face to go out like this." Yan Yuan not only felt no guilt but even spoke such sarcastic words.

Bai Chenxi thought his heart was strong, but hearing this still hurt.

"Yueyue, remember, you did this." Bai Chenxi pointed to the black circle, emphasizing repeatedly.

Yan Yuan wrinkled her nose, looking at him almost like a big panda, couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "How about another punch, I’ll make you a national treasure."

Bai Chenxi: "..."

A chill went through his heart, this girl truly is heartless, inhumane!

Bai Chenxi got up with a cold face and walked toward the upstairs study.

He’s planning to ignore her and have a cold war.

Continuing to talk, he might be angered to death by Yan Yuan.

Yan Yuan scratched her head, seeing Bai Chenxi walked away without saying anything.

She regretted a bit, maybe she had been too harsh just now.

This time he was forced to walk away upset.

Oh my, she was busy drinking wine at night and hadn’t had a chance to eat before he left.

Now she realized, she’s starving.

"Chef, chef, what’s for supper?" Yan Yuan’s voice came from outside.

The chef stood in the kitchen, unable to hold back the tears streaming down his face.

This girl truly is something, the only one he’s met who dares to be so bold in front of Bai Chenxi.

She beat up the boss, angered him into leaving, then turns around thinking about food.

Does her conscience not hurt?

"Coming, coming, I’ll make it for you now."

While eating, Yan Yuan suddenly thought of Chu Chen’s words.

She almost instinctively jumped up from the chair.

Oh my God, she seems to have something to ask Bai Chenxi.

After being so harsh, will he directly put her on the blacklist, blocking her out?

Yan Yuan immediately put down her chopsticks after taking the first bite and asked the chef to take away the dishes she ate and make a fresh batch.

At the door to Bai Chenxi’s study.

Yan Yuan paced back and forth, feeling uneasy inside.

If she asks him to eat supper and he doesn’t eat, what then?

Or if he eats supper but still can’t be soothed.

And doesn’t agree to her request, what then?

Thinking like this made Yan Yuan anxious.

Just as she was restless at the door, Bai Chenxi’s door suddenly opened.

Yan Yuan turned to see, their gazes collided, and the air temporarily froze.

Bai Chenxi frowned, and the bluish-black eye circles looked particularly comical.

Yan Yuan instinctively blinked to conceal her awkwardness. "Hi~! I came to invite you for a midnight snack!"

Bai Chenxi gave her a once-over, seeing her obedient and well-behaved stance, almost instantly realizing she must have some request.

Yan Yuan saw Bai Chenxi silent, feeling uncertain inside.

After all, she did just make Bai Chenxi angry enough to go upstairs.

"Come on, let’s go get a night meal. I’ve got some things to tell you, we can talk and eat at the wine table." Yan Yuan hugged Bai Chenxi’s arm, smiling as she pulled him downstairs.

"..." Bai Chenxi stayed silent all the way, following Yan Yuan and letting her lead him.

Yan Yuan felt a bit conflicted inside, but she was willing to sacrifice a little to achieve her goal.

At the dining table.

Yan Yuan poured a glass of Red Wine herself, then smiling, placed the glass in Bai Chenxi’s hand, "Come on, I toast to you! Apologizing for what happened earlier."

"Didn’t you apologize earlier already?" Bai Chenxi held the glass, his face slightly chilly.

"Earlier was earlier, now I’m formally apologizing, here’s to our friendship. From now on, we’ll be the best friends in the world, you see there’s business cooperation, in the future I’ll become a major investor and also enter the entertainment industry. We’ll definitely have more intersections in the future." Yan Yuan babbled away like spilling beans.

Bai Chenxi couldn’t help but twitch his lips, this woman was really trying hard to form closer ties, how thick-skinned could she be!

Obviously needing him, yet making so many excuses.

"Just say whatever you need!" Bai Chenxi said expressionlessly.

Yan Yuan’s eyes lit up upon hearing his words, this was the moment she was waiting for...

"Here’s the thing. You know, since we’re splitting managers this time, who do you think I’ll be assigned to?" Yan Yuan smiled again, not forgetting to clink Bai Chenxi’s glass, "Have a drink!"

Bai Chenxi took a small sip of wine without showing any expression and looked up at her, "Go on!"

"Anyway, since we’re getting assigned managers, why not let me be with Chu Chen, under Zheng Zong’s guidance..." Yan Yuan’s voice trailed off.

Because she saw Bai Chenxi’s eyes turn icy cold, even the surrounding air carried a biting chill.

She couldn’t understand why he was so angry.

Could it be he didn’t like Chu Chen!

Yan Yuan felt like there were thousands of ants crawling in her throat, it took a while for her to recover and continue explaining, "No, I didn’t mean anything else. I’ve known Chu Chen, and the first scene is in Jiangli City, which is quite remote. It’ll be good to look after each other since I don’t have an assistant yet."

"If you think it’s too hard, then don’t go. With your current partnership with Gu Chengxin, you’re not short of money. What’s so great about being a star, you might as well take the money and enjoy life!" Bai Chenxi said coldly.

Yan Yuan felt her voice become a bit hoarse, "Did you misunderstand my meaning?"

"What do you mean?" Bai Chenxi glared at her.

Yan Yuan picked up her wine glass, took a sip of Red Wine, then stood up and looked at Bai Chenxi, saying seriously, "Forget what I said earlier. Also, being an actor is something I do because I like it, not for money. The deal with Gu Chengxin, that’s really for money."

After saying that, Yan Yuan didn’t eat any of the good dishes on the table and turned around, striding upstairs.

Since then, she and Bai Chenxi hadn’t said a word to each other.

Early the next morning, Bai Chenxi left very early.

He left wearing sunglasses, not waiting for Yan Yuan.

And when Yan Yuan got up, she didn’t have breakfast at home either.

She took a taxi to the company and had breakfast there.

After the morning meeting, Yan Yuan was assigned under the famous agent Xia Lu.

Xia Lu, twenty-eight years old, prettier than many stars and looked more like a star herself, with a serious and capable demeanor, known for her versatility, nicknamed the smiling tiger.

It wasn’t Yan Yuan who chose her, it was she who chose Yan Yuan.

The reason she picked Yan Yuan was because Yan Yuan had potential.

Not only did she have a good figure, but her face was undoubtedly a rare beauty.

With a little training, she’d surely shine bright in the future, becoming a highly sought-after superstar idol. Moreover, she wasn’t only pretty, her singing and dancing were also top-notch.

This time several agents were interested in Yan Yuan, wanting to take her under their wing.

Including Zheng Zong, who made Chu Chen famous, and several renowned agents known as star makers.

However, the results approved above were only for Xia Lu.

Many still couldn’t understand why.

Because, although Xia Lu was pretty and capable, she wasn’t considered a big name among agents. Plus, due to her young age, her resources couldn’t compete with those of top agents.

Li Zi took Yan Yuan to Xia Lu’s office.

Li Zi knocked on the door.

A woman’s clear voice came from the office, "Come in!"

Li Zi looked at Yan Yuan and said, "Let’s go. I entrust you to her now. Work hard, and once you become famous, don’t forget us."

Yan Yuan chuckled, "Sister Li really knows how to say things, how come you’re so sure I’ll become famous."

"It’s not just me, every agent thinks so." As she spoke, Li Zi pushed open the office door.

Yan Yuan looked up to see a captivatingly dressed woman sitting at the desk not far away.

She wore professional makeup, her brown curls cascading over her shoulders, and a light purple dress hugged her shapely figure, making her look enchanting yet not losing elegance.

Seeing Li Zi and Yan Yuan approach, she quickly put down what was in her hands and stood up with a smile, "I was about to go greet our beautiful Yan Yuan but didn’t expect you to bring her over to me."
