CHAPTER 301: CHAPTER 281: ENEMIES CROSS PATHS

When teased, He’s dark eyes flickered momentarily, showing a trace of awkwardness and unease. How could someone so concerned about their image admit to being jealous?

"You’re overthinking." He snorted lightly, "Jealousy? Me, jealous?"

He had a proud look.

As if the childish guy who just had a drinking contest with Liang Pengbo wasn’t him at all.

While thinking, She heard Him ask, "Did you just say a lot of people want to hit on you?"

She met the man’s pitch-black gaze, feeling a bit intimidated, "Y-Yes, right."

She straightened her shoulders, "After all, I’m a star in the entertainment circle now and with such looks, isn’t it normal?"

He asked casually, "Do you usually check the trending news?"

Why bring this up all of a sudden?

"Yeah, I do." She replied, "It’s just trending headlines."

He said, "There’s a ranking for the trending topics. Check it out, see who’s number one in Beijing."

Saying that, She indeed got curious.

Pulling out her phone, she muttered, "Could it be you? No way, there are so many male celebrities."

Her tone was full of disbelief.

He gave a cold "heh."

Yet, reality could be so harsh.

Trending Most Handsome: Bao Ye.

Trending Male Celebrity: Bao Ye.

Trending National Husband: Bao Ye.

She was dumbfounded, "No way, you’re number one in all three rankings?"

"Why didn’t I notice this before?"

"Honestly Bao Ye, did you pay for trending topics?"

She shot three questions in a row.

He glanced at her with a hand in his pocket, "With my status as Bao Ye, do I need to buy trending topics?"

"See, every woman in Beijing wants to marry me."

Wasn’t he just showing off?

There were many people who liked her inside and outside the circle.

He also had many, okay?

She burst out laughing, holding her phone, laughing so hard that her shoulders were trembling, and her stomach hurt: "So, all this time, you were comparing yourself to me?"

"Come on, Bao Ye, I never realized you were so petty, hahaha..."

She laughed uncontrollably.

He lifted his gaze to glance around; no one was there.

Behind them was a bamboo forest. He took his hand out of his pocket and grabbed Her wrist, pulling her behind the bamboo forest.

"Hey, hey, what are you pulling me here for!" She widened her eyes, "It’s so dark and creepy here."

Yet as soon as she finished speaking, the man pinched her chin and lifted it, rubbing her lip corners with his thumb, "Scary?"

"I’m here, what are you afraid of."

Saying this, He chuckled lightly, teasing her, "Afraid I might eat you up here?"

She nodded obediently, "Honestly, I am a bit afraid."

He: "..."

"Since you think so, wouldn’t it be a shame not to make your wish come true?"

She was startled, "No way, dude, this is a Cartier banquet. If someone hears us here, we’ll be infamous."

"I’d be doomed."

Being at a Bao Group’s Bao Ye banquet in the bamboo forest...

This would be a lifelong scandal that couldn’t be washed away, right?

He’d be fine, she’d be in trouble.

The entertainment industry relies on reputation, ability, and a pretty face.

She simply couldn’t imagine how miserable she’d be if exposed.

It would definitely reach a point where she’d be banned.

So it’s absolutely impossible for something like this to happen.

"Just kidding with you."

He said, "I wouldn’t be that reckless, but there is a premise."

She asked, "What?"

He stared at her, and even with the light being not so good, she could feel his gaze like a torch.

The man’s chill, indifferent voice rang out.
