Su Yaya felt a surge of happiness as she obediently responded, she also didn’t forget to express her concern for him, reminding him. “Make sure to take care of yourself too.”

Upon hearing her words, Shen Xiuqi smiled with satisfaction and after replying to her, he ended the call.

Putting her phone away, Su Yaya suddenly felt someone’s gaze on her. Raising her head, she met Zhou Peiyun’s gaze which was full of concern.

Feeling uneasy under her scrutiny, Su Yaya nervously gulped and asked. “What’s the matter?”

Zhou Peiyun frowned slightly, her tone filled with concern as she asked, “Was it President Shen who just called you?”

Su Yaya nodded, “Yeah.”

“What did he say?” Zhou Peiyun asked.

Su Yaya blinked her eyes and thought that she was acting a little strange. Nevertheless, she still answered honestly, “He said he’s not coming home today because he has matters he needs to attend to.”

“Did he mention what he’s doing?”

Finding the question amusing, Su Yaya cast a glance at Zhou Peiyun and asked. “Why should I be concerned about what he’s doing?”

“Are you stupid?” Zhou Peiyun reached out and poked her forehead. Her gaze was piercing like a knife, it seemed as if she was resentful of Su Yaya for failing her expectations. “President Shen is not an ordinary person. If you don’t grasp him tightly, what if he finds a new woman outside? When that time comes, you don’t even have a place to cry!”

Su Yayay pouted, inwardly thinking that he would eventually find someone new and that someone wasn’t even merely new, but his white moonlight and the female lead. In contrast. She was just simply the cannon fodder, so what could she possibly do to keep him close? How could she compete with his white moonlight, the female lead? It was better to refrain from doing anything she shouldn’t be doing, otherwise, it might backfire. Just forget about it!

When Zhou Peiyun saw that she didn’t respond, she asked, “What are you thinking about?”

Su Yaya shook her head, “Nothing.”

Zhou Peiyun felt a little frustrated, sensing that Su Yaya was being evasive.  Whenever love was involved, Su Yaya seemed to lose her wits. Did she truly believe that Shen Xiuqi would remain devoted to her forever just because she claimed him?

Forget it, since this woman was the artist she had her eyes on, she should offer her a few more words of advice!

She said to Su Yaya, “Do you understand what I’m saying? While he still likes you and is willing to pamper you, take advantage of it, make use of it. Ask for more resources, and don’t waste your chance. Once you become popular, even if he no longer wants you, you’ll still be able to live comfortably.”

Su Yaya blinked slowly in response with Oh.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Peiyun sighed inwardly. It seemed her efforts to convey her good intentions were in vain and just wasted her energy. Zhou Peiyun wasn’t even sure if Su Yaya understood or if she viewed her as meddling in her affairs, perhaps even considering her malevolent!
