Were these considered as being in love?
He had an indecipherable feeling toward her the first time he saw her.
The girl was so elegant and ethereal that she appeared to be out of this world. He wanted to properly keep her away from the influences of this world.
During the audition for the role of Yin Xiachun, Yun Shishi had made an impact to everyone present with her very realistic portrayal. Even he was naturally brought into Yin Dongyu’s character by her performance to the point of him wanting to protect her from any harm in his embrace.
Her every expression was deeply imprinted in his mind and they could not be removed.
Was this love?
If it were not, then why did he care for her? Was it simply because she had the talent and potential to be a future star?
He suddenly had a splitting headache. He leaned his back against the wall and buried his face in his hands. His heart was plunged into chaotic misery…
He did not know how long he had waited; it just felt so long it almost seemed as if time had stopped.
He wanted to break into the room time and again, but whenever he reached the door, something would make him retreat.
He was thus in for a long, torturous wait. This was when he heard people approaching from one end of the corridor.
He looked toward the source of the footsteps and saw a group of waiters holding up trays, making their way over to the presidential suite slowly and respectfully. A few pieces of new and gorgeous gowns, along with exquisite accessories, were laid on the trays.
Walking in line with this group was Alan.
He was shocked to see him. With his eyes slightly shifting, he asked, “Xingze… why are you here?”
“What are you here for?” Gu Xingze glanced sharply at him and knitted his brows.
“The CEO summoned me here to prepare a lady for the gala…” Alan was a smart man. Noticing his heartbroken expression, he suddenly had a foreboding feeling. “That lady inside, could it be… Miss Yun?!”
“SHUT UP!” Gu Xingze snapped as he suddenly flew into a rage.
Alan quickly shut his mouth and dared not ask further.
Women were indeed poison. An example was this; Yun Shishi was able to make Gu Xingze, an elegant and unapproachable man, react irrationally. Who was she exactly?
Sounds suddenly came from inside the room.
Gu Xingze returned to his senses in that instant, and his face was colored with shock. He looked over just in time to see Mu Yazhe come out of the room.
The man was already clad in an exquisite suit. No traces of intimate activities could be observed on his person; he was still that imperial elite in everyone’s eyes.
He shot Gu Xingze a cold look. He did not seem to be surprised by his presence there. He emotionlessly cast his eyes over to Alan and ordered in a low voice, “Get in.”
“Yes, sir.”
Alan, who had stood there quietly without looking sideways, led the waiters into the room.
The door was then shut. Gu Xingze proceeded to march toward Mu Yazhe and grabbed his neatly ironed tie. He questioned him bitterly, “What did you do to her?”
Both men’s presence was equally domineering, and they continually gave off a dangerous vibe.
Mu Yazhe’s height towered over Gu Xingze’s, though. Thus, he was looking down at him when he gave a vague answer, “What do you think?”
“Shameless!” Gu Xingze paled in anger. Without warning, he threw a straight punch at him.
Mu Yazhe slightly turned to the side with a calm expression and caught his swift fist firmly. He did not seem to have moved an inch.
Shock was observed in Gu Xingze’s eyes.
“You are quite skilled. Looks like Gu Mochen has taught you well.” Mu Yazhe forcibly shook his hand off and Gu Xingze involuntarily took a few steps backward. The man took large, graceful strides toward him, lowered his eyes, and emotionlessly squinted at him. “I didn’t expect that Gu Xingze would also lose his composure over a woman.”
