Chapter 131 Making A Bet

“For actors, popularity and reputation are just a matter of chance. It’s hard to say when it’ll get better or when it’ll get worse. You have to give Gu An some chances.”

Gu Shen’s expression was cold. “I’ve already given her plenty of that, so there’s no room for negotiation this time.”

The female protagonist’s career was on the verge of collapse.

In order to save the situation, Yan Xi said, “Let’s make a bet. Gu An will definitely become popular in one year and her reputation will change.”

“I bet she can. You bet she can’t, right?”

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows and looked at Yan Xi with a faint smile. If he gambled, wouldn’t it be tantamount to agreeing to Gu An staying in the entertainment industry?

He looked away. “Boring, I’m not gonna take the gamble.”

“Yes, you are.” Yan Xi tugged at his sleeve and shook it gently. “Believe me. My hunch has always been very accurate. Also, that’s Gu An’s dream. As her brother, you don’t want her to be unhappy forever, right?”

“Say something, Gu Shen.” Yan Xi snuggled closer to him, her palm-sized face on Gu Shen’s shoulder, and whispered into his ear, “Say yes.” Her hot breath flowed into his ear.

Seeing that his ears were getting red, Yan Xi was emboldened. She was about to do it again when her chin was pinched.

Gu Shen turned around, his eyes dark and deep.

“Behave yourself.” His voice was hoarse, as if he was suppressing some emotion.

Gu Shen did not use much strength and Yan Xi easily broke free. She took a few steps back and laughed.

“Gu Shen, your ears are so sensitive. I just whispered some words in your ear and it got all

red.”

Gu Shen pursed his lips.

“Let me see it again.”

“No!” Gu Shen stopped her with his hand, feeling a little embarrassed.

Why was this woman even annoying him in the middle of the night?

While Yan Xi was still laughing out loud, Gu Shen grabbed her and pinned her onto the bed. “What about you? Do you blush too?”

“Of course I blush.” Yan Xi said, her eyes filled with smiles. She felt that Gu Shen’s current posture was really sexy and he looked good.

Moreover, the contrast made him especially charming. He was cold and unapproachable outside, but in fact, he was like a shy boy who blushed when a girl stared at him.

Yan Xi became bolder again. She raised her head and kissed the corner of Gu Shen’s mouth.

Before she could look at his expression closely, she felt her body being lifted. Gu Shen carried her and sat up.

He placed one hand on Yan Xi’s waist and used the other to smack her butt.

Yan Xi was stunned. She couldn’t believe what just happened. He actually spanked her.

Yan Xi felt a hot flash spreading out her body and her face immediately turned red. The place where she was hit felt strangely itchy. “You…” Looking at Gu Shen in a daze, Yan Xi was lost for words.

“Are you done fooling around?” Gu Shen grabbed her waist and said fiercely.

“I…” But why did she have to be spanked if she was being naughty? Yan Xi’s face was getting redder and redder like a ripe tomato. She stuttered for a long time without being able to utter a word.

Gu Shen looked at her with a teasing gaze.

“Why did you spank me?”

“Are you going to continue being naughty?” Gu Shen moved his hand threateningly on her butt. Yan Xi immediately crawled to the bedside and looked at him vigilantly.

She was in such a hurry that she fell off the bed. Luckily, the floor was covered by carpet so it didn’t hurt.

Why is she doing all kinds of stupid things every day? Gu Shen thought to himself.

He leaned over and picked her up from the floor.

Yan Xi was still in a daze, and her face looked like that of a confused rabbit.

“What’s wrong? Did it hurt?”

Gu Shen wanted to reproach her, but his heart ached. “Did you fall and hurt your leg?”

Yan Xi covered her butt and did not dare to speak.

Of course, it is my butt that hurts, Yan Xi thought but she didn’t say it. She couldn’t ask Gu Shen to help her rub her butt, could she?

Yan Xi said, “My leg hurts. My calf hurts where the wound is.”

Gu Shen frowned and quickly looked at her calf. The bandage on the wound was loosen and blood was seeping out of the scab.

“I’ll go bandage it myself…”

Gu Shen held her down. “Don’t move.”
