Chapter 49 You Can Even Take Off Your Clothes

“Sheng Yu…”

Qiao Shuyi felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, instinctively reaching out to push him away. “What are you doing?”

“ Qiao Qiao.”

The man’s voice was a little hoarse. His long, slender fingers with distinct knuckles gripped her chin, then he lowered his head and covered her lips.

Qiao Shuyi instinctively grabbed the collar of his shirt, her trembling eyelashes closed as she responded cautiously.

A faint, refreshing coolness spread through her lips, like tasting a cup of fine tea, sweet and mellow.

Time passed slowly, and after an unknown period, the long kiss finally came to an end.

The man’s hand, at some point, had landed on her waist, his gaze fixed on her.

The girl’s fair face was tinged with a light pink, her eyes misty, as if she had just woken up, innocent with a hint of helplessness, making one want to bully her.

Seeing that he was about to kiss her again, Qiao Shuyi quickly stopped him. “W-why don’t we eat first? It’s going to get cold.”

Sheng Yu looked at her for a moment, then pinched her cheek before smiling and letting go of her. “Okay.”

Qiao Shuyi quickly moved to the side and reached for the lunchbox.

“I don’t know what you like to eat, so I just brought some random things. If you don’t like it, I’ll go buy you something else.”

Sheng Yu took the chopsticks she handed him, smiled at her, and said, “I’m not picky, as long as it’s brought by you, I like it.”

Qiao Shuyi snorted. “Then next time I’ll bring you porridge with kimchi.”

“Okay.”

“…”

•  

After lunch, a staff member came in to clean up the mess and take out the trash.

“Do you have anything to do this afternoon?” Sheng Yu asked.

Qiao Shuyi shook her head.

“Then you stay here and play for a while, I have some work to take care of. After I’m done, we’ll go out for a walk.”

“Okay.”

Sheng Yu smiled and rubbed her head, then returned to his desk to work.

Qiao Shuyi sat on the sofa and played with her phone. After a while, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Her eyes lit up, and she looked up at the man who was concentrating on his work in the distance, and said with a bit of a spoiled tone, “Sheng Yu, can I take off my shoes?”

Hearing this, the man at the desk looked up, his voice filled with obvious amusement, “You can even take off your clothes.”

“…”

Qiao Shuyi glared at him, then directly took off her high heels and lay down on the sofa.

This was much more comfortable.

She lay down for a while, then turned over on her stomach, sometimes looking at her phone, sometimes looking at Sheng Yu.

As the saying goes, “A man working seriously is the most handsome.”

This was also true for Sheng Yu, even though he was already very handsome.

The man wore a black custom-made suit, his brows lowered, his refined nose bridge even more prominent, his hand holding the pen was cold, white, and slender, with prominent veins, containing a vigorous power.

Thinking that he had just used this hand to hold her chin and kiss her lips, Qiao Shuyi felt her cheeks heat up.

Phew…

I can’t look anymore.

I’d better keep playing with my phone.

Out of boredom, Qiao Shuyi opened the Weibo app and prepared to scroll through it for a while.

She habitually clicked on the hot search list, but as soon as she clicked in, she saw a familiar name at the top of the list.

[Jiang Limeng is a diva]

Below that, there were several other hot searches related to her.

[Jiang Limeng’s persona collapses]

[Jiang Limeng Together on a Trip]

[Jiang Limeng’s Background]

[Jiang Limeng’s Lan Du Endorsement]

…

In the past, Qiao Shuyi wasn’t really interested in celebrity gossip.

But coincidentally, she had just experienced the “charm” of this popular actress a few days ago.

Out of curiosity, she still clicked in.

The first thing that caught her eye was a video, the background looked like a dressing room.

The protagonist, Jiang Limeng, was sitting with her legs crossed, a cigarette between her fingers, expertly smoking.

In front of her, a staff member was trying to persuade her in a low voice, “Sister Limeng, the director has been waiting for us for two hours, let’s go over there now…”

“What’s the rush? Don’t you see I haven’t finished my cigarette yet, let them wait.”

“It’s not a good idea, what if it gets out, it’s not good for your reputation.”

“Get out? I’d like to see who’s so bold.”

…

In the video, Jiang Limeng’s demeanor was arrogant and domineering, a complete change from her usual image of being polite and courteous. She was practically writing the words “diva” on her face.

She’s really arrogant…

Qiao Shuyi secretly scoffed in her heart, then clicked on the comment section to browse.

[This Jiang Limeng?? Did someone take over her body? I clearly remember her as a very polite and respectful girl!]

[There were rumors before that a guest was a diva on “Together on a Trip”, making the whole crew wait for almost five hours… I always thought it was Xu Wei, but it turned out to be Jiang Limeng]

[The way she smokes is so skilled, she must have smoked a lot in the past, lol, she even said she had a strict upbringing and didn’t dare touch cigarettes or alcohol]

[Am I the only one who doesn’t like her? Her face doesn’t look like a good person, and there are still a bunch of people praising her for being kind and polite, lol]

…

Jiang Limeng has a lot of fans, even with such solid evidence, there are still many people speaking up for her.

But soon, these comments were drowned out by the ridicule and insults of the majority.

Qiao Shuyi clicked on other hot searches related to her and took a look. They were basically all negative news and scandals.

For example, slapping her assistant.

For example, going in and out of hotels with a mysterious man.

For example, insulting other artists.

All sorts of things, mainly focusing on her persona collapsing and doing all kinds of bad things.

In response, Jiang Limeng’s side didn’t respond at all.

Some endorsements that had signed contracts with Jiang Limeng also came out to make statements, announcing that they were terminating their contracts with her…

It was very satisfying.

However, Qiao Shuyi felt a little strange.

All along, the Jiang family had been supporting Jiang Limeng behind the scenes, and their public relations work was very effective.

Over the years, although Jiang Limeng had occasionally exploded with some negative news, it was quickly suppressed by the Jiang family.

However, this time, it had been almost three hours since the initial “diva” incident broke out, and the hot search was still at the top.

Not only that, but more scandals were being exposed one after another.

It felt like –

Someone had offended Jiang Limeng and was deliberately trying to ruin her?

But soon, Qiao Shuyi felt relieved.

It’s true.

With her arrogant and arrogant personality, she must have offended a lot of people.

Didn’t she almost offend her the other day?

It’s just that she’s good-tempered and doesn’t bother to argue with her, but some people might not be so kind.

She must have stepped on someone’s toes this time.

Jiang Limeng’s studio and the Jiang family must be in a panic now…

Qiao Shuyi only felt that she deserved it.

What goes around comes around.
