C3 A Romantic Relationship Between a Couple!

Qin Manrong quickly stepped back, her eyes blazing with anger. "What do you mean by this, Movie King Yan?"

Yan Feibai chuckled lightly. "Coming out of the Yuyang Mountain villa looking like this, isn't it obvious you've been dumped by your sugar daddy?"

It suddenly dawned on Qin Manrong that she was being mistaken for a mistress kept by some wealthy man.

Through gritted teeth, she said slowly, "Movie King Yan, I'm not the kind of woman you think I am! And for your information, I'm married!"

Yan Feibai raised an eyebrow with a teasing smirk, clearly not believing her. His gaze flicked to her chin, making it obvious he thought otherwise.

Instinctively, Qin Manrong touched her chin, feeling embarrassed. Gu Jingming, that jerk, had left such a noticeable bruise, making it look like it was from some wild escapade. What respectable wife would go out looking like this?

She cursed Gu Jingming silently, but outwardly she maintained a defiant smirk. "What, Movie King Yan, haven't you heard of the term 'spousal fun'?"

Yan Feibai locked eyes with her for a moment, as if trying to determine if she was lying, then suddenly cursed under his breath, "Damn it," and turned back to the driver's seat, starting the car and speeding off toward the city.

His expression was dark and intimidating, yet Qin Manrong felt oddly relieved. It seemed he had completely abandoned the idea of "buying a night" with her.

The car sped along, and neither of them spoke, the silence in the vehicle becoming somewhat oppressive.

Qin Manrong glanced over at the driver’s seat and noticed something was off with Yan Feibai. His eyes were still clear, but his breathing was heavy, sweat beading on his forehead, and his hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly that the veins were bulging.

"Movie King Yan, are you okay?"

A cold laugh was her only response: "What, haven't you heard of something called a love potion, Mrs. Open-Minded?"

Qin Manrong was taken aback, turning her head away in frustration: "Ugh, you're so petty. I must be crazy to care about you! Go ahead and suffer on your own!"

But was Yan Feibai set up?

She couldn't help but sneak another glance. His striking features were flawless, his eyes glazed from discomfort, and his skin had a faint flush, making him look... undeniably alluring.

Qin Manrong felt her heart skip a beat and quickly looked down. She had to admit, the media and fans weren't wrong to call him "bewitching." He certainly had the allure to be a target for something like this.

Despite trying to resist, her curiosity got the better of her, and she asked, "Movie King Yan, can I ask, was it a woman or... a man who did this to you?"

"Screech—"

The piercing sound of brakes filled the air as the car door swung open. The man in front spat out a single word through gritted teeth.

"Get out!"

Qin Manrong wisely got out of the car. Before she could steady herself, the car sped off, leaving her in a cloud of exhaust and with a "thank you" stuck in her throat.

She flagged down a taxi, and as soon as she got in, her phone rang loudly. Glancing at the screen, her expression darkened as she answered.

"Qin Manrong, the press conference is starting. Are you coming or not?" Gu Jingming's voice was tense.

"I'll be there soon," Qin Manrong replied coolly. "Driver, turn around and wait for me at that boutique. I need to head to Qin's Group."

The Qin family had been in an alliance with the tech-savvy Gu family for a month, and their partnership was stable. The new company, Qin's Technology, was now on the agenda for Qin's Group's transformation.
