Chapter 15 – The Simp Is Forcibly Loved by the Overbearing CEO 15
Seeing Shuang Yu return with a group of people, Wang Yunfei couldn’t sit still. Sheng Xiaoran and Bai Shuangyu were supposed to be romantic rivals, so how did they end up together?! Bracing himself, he stood up and extended his hand to Sheng Xiaoran with a subservient bow. “Hello, President Sheng, long time no see.”
Sheng Xiaoran frowned deeply and glanced coldly at his hand without responding. Anyone in this industry knew what kind of person Wang Yunfei was, and he naturally disdained associating with such people.
“Wow, looks like it’s a gathering of trash today. Bai Shuangyu, you’ve really broadened my horizons. I thought you’d only hang out with losers, but I didn’t expect you’d even stoop to scum.”
Sheng Xiaojing wouldn’t miss this opportunity to attack Bai Shuangyu. Her eyes filled with disgust as she once again spewed cold, sarcastic remarks.
Shuang Yu pretended not to understand her meaning and explained with a frown, “You can hate me, you can insult me, but you can’t insult Director Wang. He’s a famous director and Qianqian’s respected mentor. If Qianqian hadn’t built a bridge for us, I would never have had the chance to invest in such a great director’s work.”
Yan Qianqian built a bridge?! Sheng Xiaojing’s and Sheng Xiaoran’s pupils constricted. They were utterly bewildered. The kind-hearted Qianqian, no matter how much she disliked Bai Shuangyu, would never do something to scam him. How could she introduce a scumbag like Wang Yunfei to him?!
Feng Yan crossed his arms, a half-smile on his face as he watched Shuang Yu, his expression clearly saying, “I’ll just sit here and watch you put on a show.” He was clearly a big-tailed wolf, yet he insisted on pretending to be a little white rabbit. No matter, whether a big-tailed wolf or a little white rabbit, each had its own flavor to play with. So he liked role-playing, did he? Should he prepare in advance? Gray wolf ears and a wolf tail, white bunny ears and a bunny tail. He could have him play the big-tailed wolf today and the innocent little white rabbit tomorrow.
A chill ran down his spine, and Shuang Yu glanced hesitantly at Feng Yan. The latter gave him a suggestive smirk and a nod, as if to say, “Please, continue your performance.”
“You two were introduced by Qianqian?”
Sheng Xiaoran questioned Wang Yunfei with an overbearing tone.
The anxious Wang Yunfei didn’t know how to respond; he couldn’t afford to offend either side.
“My brother is asking you a question, you scumbag!”
The spoiled Sheng Xiaojing kicked him with her high heel, her voice threatening.
“Y-yes, President Sheng, Miss Sheng. President Bai wanted to invest in a film for Qianqian, so she recommended me…”
Startled into a shiver, Wang Yunfei told the truth. But he keenly noticed that their expressions grew even colder. Crap, he had said the wrong thing…
“Brother, don’t doubt Sister Qianqian’s character. Maybe Director Wang has turned over a new leaf this time and is really preparing a masterpiece?”
Sheng Xiaojing, afraid her brother would misunderstand his future sister-in-law, hurriedly spoke up for Yan Qianqian. Shuang Yu was quite impressed with Yan Qianqian’s scheming. She knew that Sheng Xiaojing was the easiest to handle in the Sheng family, and in just a few months, the girl was already following her every command. Sheng Xiaojing’s words weren’t entirely without reason. After all, before his decline, Wang Yunfei had been quite famous. Two of the top ten highest-grossing films today were his early works.
“Are you very hot, Director Wang? Should I turn down the air conditioning?”
Shuang Yu asked the profusely sweating Wang Yunfei with a look of concern.
“N-no, thank you. I’m just naturally warm-blooded, hahaha… And this is…”
Wang Yunfei hastily wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Feng Yan, who had been silent all this time. A flash of amazement and pity crossed his eyes. What a beautiful man. Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, he had never seen anyone more handsome, man or woman. Of course, he could also tell from the man’s every move that this was a major figure, not someone a small fry like him could ever hope for.
Although the covetous look in his eyes was fleeting, it didn’t escape Feng Yan’s notice. He stared straight at him, his captivating eyes filled with murderous intent.
“Who he is isn’t important.”
Shuang Yu spoke unhurriedly, as if Feng Yan were just some insignificant Tom, Dick, or Harry. His waist was pinched again by the lunatic, and he had no choice but to add, “How can you mortals even dream of aspiring to a deity from the heavens?”
The flattery was a work of art. Gao Yiwen almost burst out laughing, quickly covering her mouth with a cough and turning away. Sheng Xiaojing looked at him as if she were seeing a ghost.
“I’m a deity? So that’s how highly you think of me? Mmm~ Yu~”
Feng Yan clearly enjoyed the compliment. He revealed a seductive smile, two faint dimples appearing at the corners of his mouth, and whispered into Shuang Yu’s ear. The intimate gesture made everyone uncomfortable. They even felt like they were hallucinating, as if they could see a wagging dog’s tail behind the infamous Feng Yan?!
The naive Sheng Xiaojing didn’t overthink their relationship, but she was a little wary. Feng Yan seemed easygoing, but he was actually difficult to get along with. He hated physical contact with others, yet he was stuck to Bai Shuangyu like glue, like they were conjoined twins. What charm did this nouveau riche have that made Brother Feng Yan treat him so differently?
“Yes, in my eyes, you are a god… a god of lunatics.”
Shuang Yu was annoyed by this guy constantly clinging to him. He didn’t like the warmth of a mortal’s body; it was too hot! Hahaha, the stupid nouveau riche was digging his own grave. She didn’t even need to lift a finger. Sheng Xiaojing almost died laughing. She had been worrying about how to deal with Bai Shuangyu, and here he was, burying himself. Brother Feng Yan was a ruthless man. The last person who called him a lunatic ended up in a vegetative state and has been lying in a hospital for nearly five years!
“A lunatic? Hahaha… How interesting. Yu, it’s been a long time since I’ve heard someone dare to say that word to my face.”
Feng Yan burst out laughing. He seemed happy, but everyone else broke into a cold sweat, afraid he would draw and quarter Bai Shuangyu on the spot. Noticing the fear on everyone’s faces, he lazily sat down, propped his chin on his hand, and gazed up at Shuang Yu. “Don’t worry, I’ve been taking my ‘medicine’ on time. I won’t have an episode.”
That blatant gaze made it seem as if Shuang Yu himself was his medicine.
“Brother Feng Yan, you’ve learned to joke after all these years. Ahem, why is everyone standing? Sit, sit.”
It was the first time Sheng Xiaojing had seen Feng Yan’s gentle side, and her little heart pounded. To avoid giving herself away, she quickly changed the subject. With four more people, the food they had ordered was definitely not enough. The red wine Shuang Yu had ordered earlier also needed to be changed. Although it wasn’t cheap, it was a bit too low-end to serve Feng Yan and the Sheng siblings.
After everyone sat down, the waiter respectfully handed the menus to them. “Since Young Master Bai is treating, the guests should follow the host’s lead. It should be him who orders. No objections, right?” Sheng Xiaojing raised a hand, stopping the waiter’s action, and looked provocatively at Shuang Yu.
Shuang Yu had no objections and took the menu again. He studied it carefully, looking like an expert. Sheng Xiaojing couldn’t stand him pretending and spoke up again with a taunt, “It’s a pity Young Master Bai isn’t an actor. With your acting skills, you’d definitely win the Oscar for Best Actor. You’re looking so seriously, but do you even understand it?! Do you all know, the last time he treated us, he ordered ten plates of fried rice. We almost died laughing. Young Master Bai, you’re not going to order ten plates again this time, are you?”
She felt no guilt, determined to make the original owner’s embarrassing story known to everyone as a way to humiliate Shuang Yu.
