C15 You Want to Keep Me!
"Do you realize some people would pay ten million dollars just to get this number? I personally delivered it to you, and you dared to throw it away, huh?"
Hearing the unmistakable threat, Manrong was speechless, just wanting to get rid of this troublemaker so she could continue her work. She helplessly reassured him in a gentle voice, "How could I throw away the private number of Movie King Yan? It's been safely tucked in my bag; I just haven't had the chance to save it in my phone yet."
There was a huff on the other end, seemingly satisfied for the moment. "I heard you've been having some trouble lately. Need a hand?"
Manrong immediately sat up straight. If Yan Feibai were willing to say a word on her behalf, it would probably be more effective than a hundred PR campaigns.
"Name your terms."
"It's simple. Just keep me as your... "
"That's off the table," Manrong put down her pen, sighing. "How many times do I have to tell you? I'm married!"
Yan Feibai chuckled softly, his elegant and rich voice almost intoxicating. "I know you're married, which is exactly why I want you to keep me. Otherwise, this game would have a different set of rules."
Great, this troublemaker was clearly not satisfied with being rejected twice and now saw seducing her as a challenge he wouldn't give up on.
Manrong felt the veins in her forehead about to burst.
"That condition is a no-go. Try another."
"Oh, what a pity," Yan Feibai's voice was cheerful, with no trace of regret. "Counting this time, I've helped you three times now, right? How about you be my maid for three days to repay the favor?"
Manrong's face turned dark. "Yan Feibai, are you trying to torture me on purpose?"
Having her, a lady of her standing, play maid? The nerve!
Yan Feibai feigned surprise. "You figured it out? Yep, it's intentional. If you don't want to serve me tea and water, then keep me. Then I'll be the one massaging your shoulders and legs, and even warming your bed!"
The final "Oh~" was so exaggerated it could practically float across the Pacific without a paddle, making Qin Manrong wish she could reach through the phone and strangle him.
"No need! It's just three days as a maid, right? I agree!" she said, her voice deliberate, her teeth grinding audibly.
The rascal on the other end, still playing coy after getting his way, teased, "Are you sure you don't want to consider another option..."
Qin Manrong had reached her limit and shouted into the phone, "Send me your address. I'll be there on time tomorrow!"
She hung up decisively, and the world fell silent.
If she had held on for another second, she might have actually gone over there and dealt with that hormone-spreading menace.
Always going on about being pampered, warming the bed, making it—was he some kind of overgrown teddy bear?
Yan Feibai hung up the phone with a light chuckle and dialed his agent's number. "For the new movie I'm about to start filming, find a role for someone named Lyi Jing."
Shortly after, Yan Feibai's verified social media account posted a message:
"Yesterday, I had the honor of accompanying Princess Yujia on a private visit."
Zong Zhengbi is the lead character in Yan Feibai's upcoming film "Blue Blade," while Princess Yujia is a minor character with a few scenes.
The accompanying photo showed the scene from yesterday at the hotel entrance where Qin's Technology held a press conference, with Yan Feibai and Lyi Jing surrounded by paparazzi.
This subtly hinted that Lyi Jing had attended the event with Yan Feibai, aligning with the PR narrative from Gu's Group.
Yan Feibai's influence was indeed extraordinary; within ten minutes, the internet was abuzz.
