"But I will always accompany you. Don't be afraid." Qin Junning knew that Tang Xiao Ai was very afraid of Zhong.

If Zhong Guoqing revealed the dark side of the devil, even Qin Junning would feel a headache and fear.

He dared to go against Zhong Yuqing only because he had a deep relationship with him for so many years.

If Zhong Yueqing wasn't his friend, Qin Junning might not have been able to protect Tang Xiao Ai right now.

Just like Zhong Yuqing, who asked Tang to attend the events at LUG International, it was hard for Qin to refuse.

"Thank you, boss." Tang Xiao Ai lowered her head. Zhong Shuangqing had become her inner demon, leaving her powerless to defend herself.

When Qin Jun saw how obedient she looked with her head lowered, he couldn't help but reach out to hug her and gently pat her on the back. "You're a good girl."

If she wanted to hear the words of praise from his mouth, even if the most beautiful woman in the bed did her best to curry favor with him, she still might not be able to listen to a single good word from him.

But now, perhaps Qin Junning was moved by Tang Xiao Ai's diligent, obedient, and low-key personality, and it was rare for him to praise her so generously in front of so many people.

On the other hand, Tang Xiaoyi's face was filled with shame … It should have been because she was embarrassed, because the people from the filming crew were all watching from the side. She really wasn't used to being praised by Qin Junning.

"Thank you." When she said the word 'still', Tang Xiaoyi didn't move at all and just let him hug her.

Before entering this line of work, she had never gotten used to the way these people expressed themselves, greeting them with hugs and kissing them whenever they saw each other. But everyone in the circle had done the same thing. She hid by the side while being treated like a monster, greeted others with a "hello", was teased by others, and even had people reporting that she was an old-fashioned and adorable lady. Thus, Qin Junning began to intentionally train her habits so that she wouldn't look like an outsider.

But with little success.

Tang Xiaoyi was forever like a rock. Seeing the director and her partner, she still acted as if she had seen a teacher. She politely said, "Hello."

It wasn't until he ruthlessly scolded her a few times that she was barely able to accept the occasional hug.

And only women, unless they were of the opposite sex, unless they were good friends like Xiaoxi, would be able to accept hugs and put on their cheeks.

"You're too soft. You shouldn't be stiff." Qin Gaoning reminded her with a smile in her ear.

"I'm sorry, you hugged too hard." Tang Xiao Ai's tone was mechanical as usual.

She sometimes looked like one of those robotic chats, basically just one or two lines of repetition.

"Little love, you are sometimes very likable, but sometimes very annoying." Qin Junning patted her back again, then whispered in her ear, "It makes me want to curse you again."

"I'm going to check the station." The man who was the most adept at cursing Tang Xiao Ai had never seen in her life. He was not one of the rascals from her hometown, but a handsome and dashing gentleman in front of her.

With her calm attitude, she would often be ridiculed by Qin Gaoning to the point of wishing that she could die.

He remembered how he had refused to embrace her, how he had used such vulgar and vile words from her, how he had called her a poisonous gas "methanol", how she was the one who corrupted the atmosphere, how she had called her dirty thoughts, how everyone had simply greeted her and expressed their intimacy, yet she had thought of it as a dirty transaction of the body. More than once, he had experienced Qin's venomous tongue, and Tang Xiaoning could only be more obedient now, not provoking the Devil's boss, lest all the assistants around her get scolded along with her.

Sitting at the side and reading the notebook that was already fully memorized, Tang Xiao Yi was thinking about the events of the night.

She was really afraid of meeting Zhong Yuqing, but this was her job, so she had to obey.

Because he didn't have the ability to resist.

Ever since she was young, Tang Xiaoyi knew that when faced with a situation where one was helpless and unable to resist, obedience was the only way out.

She might seem a little cowardly, but in her dark and miserable childhood and adolescence, the only way for her to survive and approach her dreams step by step was to submit to patience and effort.

She had tried to rebel against fate, but the result had been that she had almost died, together with her brother, nearly killed by those terrifying group of creditors.

The law of the jungle.

This was the world that Tang Xiao Ai knew.

Therefore, she could only try her best to be patient and obedient, using the gentlest way to approach her dream.

The one who said that she was weak was someone who had never experienced the hardships of fate, like Qin Junning, a young master who had grown up with a silver spoon in his mouth.

But now, although she looked glorious in the circle, she was facing those terrifying creditors like when she was young.

Fate always obeyed the stronger man.

Tang Xiao Ai hoped that one day, she would become someone who could control her own destiny.

And now, it was clear that she had no way of controlling fate, so she could only patiently obey.

The product launch that Lujia international develops, tonight is only a big business dinner, tomorrow only official start week product launch.

Tang Xiao Ai thought of the day she would become the spokesperson for Lujia International, officially stepping into the entertainment industry, and her life would be turned upside down.

It was in this luxurious double layered hall that she last saw Shen Mo, her unforgettable first love. But now, it was still here, the location of that bright youth was no longer known, everything had changed.

Under the crystal lamp, she wore a gorgeous evening dress and expensive jewelry and diamonds, shuttling between the most successful people and beauties. From an unnoticed bookworm, she became a big star that everyone admired and admired.

But was this exquisite face really hers?

Zhang Ailing was right. Life was a beautiful robe filled with lice.

No matter how beautiful the appearance was, only he could experience what it felt like.

"It's getting more and more beautiful." Zhong Yuqing looked at her with a smile. After such a high-intensity experiential learning in the entertainment circle, she was like a precious wine that was sealed away, becoming more and more fragrant.

Almost every other day, there would be a layer of radiance cast by the celebrities. If he did not see her for a few days, he would think that she had an even brighter radiance.

"Thank you." Tang Xiao Yi maintained her smile. When there were many people around, she was actually a bit calmer.

If she were to be alone with Zhong Yuqing now, she would definitely be so nervous that she wouldn't be able to speak.

"Dress suits you, too." Zhong Yuqing had always been an elegant gentleman in front of all the distinguished guests. He would never lose his identity.

"Thank you." Tang Xiao Ai continued to say these words as her gaze shifted to other places, searching for Qin Zheng.

"But the body under the gown is even more beautiful." Seeing her turn her head to look for the others, Zhong Yuqing put his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear, "I really want to tear the dress that is in my way."

"You …" Tang Xiao Yi's hand that was holding the goblet trembled slightly. She almost spilled the drink in her cup. He … In front of so many people, he actually dared to say such words.

Where did Qin Junning go? Didn't they say that he would stay by her side to protect her from "wolves" the whole night?

"Your panicked expression is so cute." No matter what Zhong Yuqing said, he always wore a graceful and elegant expression, which made people think that he was discussing an elegant topic with Tang Xiaoyi. "Many men are looking at you and they must be thinking that with such a sexy body with such a pure face and cute expression, if it was in bed …"

"Mr. Zhong!" Tang Xiao Ai couldn't bear it any longer. Even though she repeatedly told herself to keep her temper and not to get angry at Zhong Yuanzun because she couldn't beat this man, she still couldn't help but shout softly upon hearing such frivolous words, "Stop spouting nonsense."

"Don't use such a distant tone to call me by my name." Hearing her address him, Zhong Yuqing smiled and whispered in her ear, "Do you see that fat and bald old man at five o'clock? He asked me if I could get you into his bed. If I could, I'd be willing to pay for the ruby. "

"No …" Tang Xiao Yi's heart skipped a beat as she looked in the direction he said. It was indeed an old man in his fifties with a general's belly, smiling at her in a perverted manner.
