The atmosphere fell into a deadlock.

The huge green studio was eerily silent.

Li Tingshen stared at her coldly. Sharp nets appeared in the air, as though they could cut off ones breath.

Liang Xuer knew that the focus of this matter was on her. Li Tingshen was a smart person. He might be able to understand what Ye Qingqiu could.

Long ago, in front of Li Tingshen, she had almost been sentenced to death.

Ye Qingqiu. She took a deep breath and said softly, I dont want this role anymore, okay?

Ye Qingqiu glanced at her coldly. Are you smug? The man you like is confronting me because of you? Anyway, this role is not worth mentioning to you. Since youve achieved your goal, whats the use of guarding it?

However, dont play the role of a kind and sensible person at this time. He would rather use you than waste a large sum of money. You should hug this role and not disappoint him.

Liang Xuer glanced at the man who was staring at Ye Qingqiu coldly. She bit her lips and said, What do you want? Dont you want me to give up this role? Im doing as you wish. Why are you being so awkward?

Just like how I came here today. Ye Qingqiu raised her chin and revealed her face from her scarf. She looked arrogant and beautiful.

Im not here to see how outstanding the person who replaced Luoluo is. Im here to prove how dirty my heart was back then.

It proved how ridiculous she was to think that Li Tingshen had personally brought Liang Xuer to replace Luo Luo. Then, she would go back obediently and apologize for her att.i.tude towards Li Tingshen last night.

She was asking for a beating to prove that she had misunderstood Li Tingshen.

In the end, reality was worse than she had imagined.

Li Tingshens dark eyes flickered.

Ye Qingqiu sneered and said, Thats why the nature is different. Youre the one getting kicked out of the production team, but your withdrawal is different from me or others kicking you out personally.

Since he plans to use you, Ill use my method to kick you out.

Liang Xuer frowned. What do you want?

Ye Qingqiu didnt say anything else and turned to walk out of the studio.

The director wanted to persuade him to stay, but he couldnt find a good excuse.

Liang Xuer stood rooted to the ground and hesitated. Im sorry, Brother Tingshen I I think Ill pa.s.s on this role.

And then? Li Tingshen said coldly, Did you complain to my mother about how aggrieved you were?

Liang Xuers heart ached. She looked up at him in disbelief. I didnt

I dont have the time or energy to deal with the mess you guys have created. Since youre taking on this role, lets finish her off.

But Ye Qingqiu

Dont you want to act? Take note of all the scripts in the industry. Tell my mother what role you want. Shes your all-powerful backer and wont disappoint you.

Liang Xuers heart sank. The joy in her heart was instantly extinguished by a basin of cold water.

Cant I look for you directly?

Li Tingshen glanced at her coldly. Are you looking for me the same as my mother looking for me for you?

With that, he looked away and left.

Liang Xuer blinked in a daze before she reacted and ran towards Li Tingshen.

Are you beating around the bush just to use me

Arent they helping you?

Liang Xuer stopped in her tracks and watched in a daze as Li Tingshen walked out of the studio.

Ye Qingqiu received a call from Li Tingshen the moment she got into the taxi.

Why? Did I leave too early and you didnt have time to slap me? Do you want me to get the driver to stop the car and wait for you? Ill leave after youre done.

Okay. Stop the car now.

Ye Qingqiu laughed angrily and hung up.

One minute later, Li Tingshens car stopped by the roadside and blocked Ye Qingqius taxi.

Ye Qingqiu got out of the car and so did Li Tingshen.

Yes.

Standing in front of a man who was much taller than her, she had to look up when she spoke.

Her words were concise and her smiling eyes were filled with sarcasm.

Li Tingshen grabbed her wrist and opened the car door, his voice indifferent.

Get in.

Ye Qingqiu didnt move. If you want to coax me, I advise you not to waste time now. I dont think I can find a good reason to give you a good att.i.tude no matter what you do now.

Then lets go home and calm down first.

I want to return to the Ye residence.

Go back to the Ye family and complain to your father?

Impatience flashed across Ye Qingqius face. Yes, I have someone backing me. Why should I suffer?

Li Tingshen looked at her silently for two seconds before pus.h.i.+ng her into the car.

The car started quickly.

Ye Qingqiu didnt struggle and struggled to get out of the car. Instead, she adjusted her posture and leaned against the seat, looking at the road ahead calmly.

After driving for a long time, Li Tingshen spoke first.

Ill arrange another drama for the young lady you like. Ill satisfy all of you.

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips. Are you satisfied or are we satisfied?

Silence

Liang Xuer wont give up this role. If that girl is really smart, she wont reject my arrangement. Thats her own business. Dont make decisions for her.

Is it because Liang Xuer wont let you, or are you determined to use her? Ye Qingqius voice carried a soft smile, but it was filled with sarcasm.

You have to use her no matter what. I want to kick her out no matter what. If you refuse to give in, dont expect me to compromise with you. The drama is your drama. The decision is yours. If I cant make you change your mind, then no one will have a good time.

Li Tingshens eyes darkened.

Even if I promise you that theres nothing between Liang Xuer and me, you wont let this matter go, right?

His voice was cold and low. Ye Qingqius eyes flashed and her heart ached.

What would happen if she said she wouldnt go?

She didnt have time to speak.

Li Tingshen continued, Even if Liang Xuer wants to quit this movie, I wont allow it. There will be more scenes in the future. If she really opens her mouth, I will consider the situation and satisfy her. So if such a thing happens in the future, cant you tolerate it?

Ye Qingqiu turned her head and finally looked at Li Tingshens side profile.

She stared at him for a long time. Do you have a reason why you have to do this?

Lets say you do. Im very curious about the reason why youre determined to help her, who obviously has designs on you and almost ruined my life.

Have you ever thought that your indulgence of her will make her even more determined to get you? Then, she will do whatever it takes to target me?

Youre asking me if I cant get over it no matter what? Are you certain that Im loyal to you and cant bear to say no to you who Ive finally gotten? Is that why youre so fearless?

She sneered and nodded. Yes, youre a smart person and have a lot of confidence. Im just afraid that if I accidentally fall out with you, I wont be able to find you again. The person I love has the most right to be fearless. The last thing Im afraid of is losing her. Perhaps, if that day really comes, you might feel relieved

Ye Qingqiu didnt know if other girls would feel so aggrieved and give in when they were in a relations.h.i.+p.

She felt wronged, but sometimes, she couldnt tell if it was because she had been pampered and spoiled by the Ye family since she was young. Hence, it might not be worth mentioning to other girls. On the other hand, she had to be a hundred times more persistent and exaggerated.

She had never made friends before and didnt know what others were like when they were in a relations.h.i.+p. She didnt know what she should care about and what she shouldnt care about. She also didnt know how bad their tempers were.

If she loved him, she would take a step back and suffer more grievances.

But she was too tired.

Its tiring to be in a relations.h.i.+p. Are other couples like this?

Ye Qingqiu exhaled and smiled in confusion.

Li Tingshen brought her back to the apartment.

Along the way, she didnt speak again. She leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes.

She seemed to have fallen asleep, but the moment the car stopped downstairs, she opened her eyes and got out of the car.

After entering the house, she took off her shoes and walked straight to the bedroom.

Im very tired. Ill sleep first.

She didnt mention returning to the Ye family.

Li Tingshen followed. Ye Qingqiu was taking off her clothes.

You dont have to rush back to stay for the time being. Dont leave because youre angry with me.

Ye Qingqiu changed into her pajamas and walked to the bed. She lifted the blanket and sat down. Do I have to listen to you even if I want to go home in a fit of pique?

No. Li Tingshen walked into her. Because youre angry. Its easier for me to coax you if you stay here.

Ye Qingqiu sneered.

Li Tingshen bent down and pinched her chin before kissing her.

What do you want to eat tonight? Ill come back early to cook for you.

No need. Im meeting someone for dinner tonight.

Li Tingshen looked at her for two seconds before standing up. What time is it? Ill pick you up.

I dont know. It depends.

With that, she grabbed the blanket and lay down with her back facing him. Close the door when you leave.

She looked like she didnt want to talk to him at all.

There was no sound in the room for a while. After some time, Ye Qingqiu heard a few footsteps and the sound of the door closing. She slowly opened her eyes.

Her expression was indifferent, but she bit her lips bit by bit. Her eyes gradually turned red.

How f*cking useless.

She got up and took out her phone from her down jacket before calling Ye Ze.

Then, she crawled back into the blanket and fell asleep.

When she woke up again, she was woken up by hunger.

2 p.m.

She went to the kitchen to drink a gla.s.s of water to fill her stomach, only to see that there was a newly cooked meal on the table.

She paused before opening the fridge to grab a bottle of water.

She got Luo Luo to take over this afternoons work and promised to treat her to a meal.

Sorry, I might not be able to help you s.n.a.t.c.h this role back, but you can tell me about the script youve been eyeing recently. It doesnt matter even if its the main character. Ill support you.

This outcome was very regretful and Ye Qingqiu found it difficult to say it. The more confident she was back then, the more ridiculous it was now.

Yet, she b.u.mped into Li Tingshen.

Luoluo shook her head and smiled. Her mood wasnt as bad as before.

Since Ive fought for it, I cant get it in the end. Perhaps this role isnt meant to belong to me. Actually, after staying in this industry for so long, I know some things very well. Strength is necessary, but its only a part of it. The rest depends on fate. I cant force it. At first, I felt that it was unfair, but after calming down, its fine. Thank you for working so hard for me. Ill do the next role again.

Ye Qingqiu felt that there might not be many girls like Luo Luo in this world.

Are you really willing?

Even if youre unwilling, you cant change the truth. Some outcomes cant be changed other than being forced to accept it. Luo Luo smiled. Its like dating. You like him, but he doesnt like you. No matter how hard you try to force him, he doesnt love you. Although the outcome is really sad, we can only accept this fact. Its probably this feeling. I cant describe it in detail.

Ye Qingqiu picked up her gla.s.s and took a sip of red wine. I understand.

Luoluo looked at her in surprise. How would you know? You got married at such a young age. You didnt even have time to argue.

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and didnt continue the topic. Theres something wrong with what you said just now. Other than strength and life, theres also opportunity. Your opportunity is sitting opposite you now. Youre a smart person to seize it.

Luoluo hesitated for a while and asked nervously, Really can I?

At nine oclock, Li Tingshen called.

Are you done eating? Ill pick you up.

Ye Qingqiu gave him the address.

When she returned to the apartment, she didnt say a word to him. She showered and played games.

In the end, Li Tingshen forced her to sleep in his arms.

She didnt struggle and closed her eyes. Her mind was filled with Luoluos words

No matter how hard you try, you have to force yourself. If you dont love her, you dont love her. There are some outcomes that you can only accept.

Who asked you to love and dominate?

The popularity of Zhenlong Bureau was not low. In order to increase its popularity and maintain its presence, the production team would have special people to upload some videos or photos of the filming location on public social platforms. They would also occasionally reveal some photos of a supporting role.

For example, there would be photos and posters of the main actors today.

However, just as everyone was waiting to see the casts photos and posters, the news that the capable actress had been replaced by a newcomer with the surname Liang was trending.

Moreover, all the other hot searches related to the drama, as well as the hot searches that they had bought for the photos and posters, had been removed.

They had all changed the content related to the production team.

Stuffed a vase again? Was the three months of selection a joke?

I thought that this drama would be of high quality after making such a big deal out of it. In the end, it cant escape the trash of being a vase actress.

Our Shufen couldnt accept the novel being adapted. Later on, when she saw that the momentum was good, she started to look forward to it. In the end, she found a trashy actor. I really dont know which character is a vase.

All kinds of criticisms flooded in. The originally good reputation of the had been criticized and mocked because of the change of actors.
