Chapter 359 has found us another love rival.

"I want to look at you every minute and every second, even a few hours would feel like centuries."

A soft light flashed in Liang Hanyue's eyes. Ignoring his sweet words, she withdrew her hand and went back to work.

Jin Yanchen sat in the car watching her leave, a slight smile playing on his lips. Only after her figure disappeared at the elevator entrance did he instruct Lao He to drive.

*
As I was getting ready to go home after get off work, I received a call from Shen Zhixing, inviting me to dinner.

Thinking of their previous pleasant collaboration, Liang Hanyue did not refuse and went to keep the appointment.

Shen Zhixing chose a private club as the location, as it offered greater privacy and prevented him from being photographed.

After exchanging pleasantries, Liang Hanyue said softly, "Just say what you need to say."

Shen Zhixing was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Then I won't beat around the bush. I know you recently started a new company and have some good projects, so I'd like to recommend myself."

Liang Hanyue frowned. "The projects I've been working on lately are all serious dramas or period dramas, which don't quite fit your image. Your company probably won't agree!"

Shen Zhixing has always been involved in idol dramas, where he can reap the benefits. The company won't easily let him switch careers.

“I know, but I’m getting on in years, and I can’t act in idol dramas forever,” Shen Zhixing said worriedly. “I have to transform myself before the market eliminates me.”

Otherwise, when he gets old, no one will ask him to act anymore.

Liang Hanyue took a sip of water but didn't say anything.

Shen Zhixing asked, "Are you worried about my acting skills?"

Liang Hanyue gently shook her head, "I know your abilities, but I must be honest and say that these few projects of mine are just testing the waters. I can't guarantee whether they will be successful! Also, most of the budget is allocated to production, leaving limited funds for the actors' salaries."

As a top-tier celebrity, Shen Zhixing's salary is beyond her means.

"Don't worry about the salary, I can handle that myself and can give you a friendly price." Shen Zhixing said seriously, "As for whether it will work out, we'll only know after we try. How can we know if we don't even try!"

Liang Hanyue was somewhat puzzled, "Why do you insist on getting involved in my project?"

"I don't know." Shen Zhixing chuckled. "To be honest, I don't really understand either, but my intuition tells me that you will definitely succeed, so I want to give myself a chance."

Liang Hanyue was silent for a moment, then she said, "Since that's the case, I can't refuse anymore. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation!"

Her slender, jade-like hand was extended in front of him.

Shen Zhixing breathed a sigh of relief, grasped her hand, and said, "It's a pleasure working with you!"

The two chatted for a while about their collaboration and recent developments. When they were almost done eating and were about to leave, they unexpectedly ran into Jin Yanchen and Qin Yishen as soon as they stepped out of the private room.

Jin Yanchen and Qin Yishen both looked at Shen Zhixing with scrutinizing and wary eyes.

Shen Zhixing felt a chill run down his spine from being stared at, and explained, "We were just talking about work."

Qin Yishen raised an eyebrow: "Oh? What kind of work? When did you guys have a new collaboration? I haven't heard anything about it."

Jin Yanchen, dressed in a bespoke suit and holding Yuanbao in his arms, turned his dark eyes from Shen Zhixing to Liang Hanyue.

Shen Zhixing swallowed hard and said, "We just talked about it, and haven't officially signed the contract yet!"

He paused for a moment, then asked, "Director Qin, you guys..."

"Just for fun!" Qin Yishen invited them, "Want to grab a drink together?"

"Thank you for your kindness, but I have something to do tonight, so I'll be leaving now." Shen Zhixing felt the atmosphere was strange. One was Liang Hanyue's suitor, the other was her ex, and then there was himself, who was at most a colleague. It all felt weird no matter how you looked at it, so he decided to leave!

He was leaving, and Qin Yishen didn't try to stop him. He looked at Liang Hanyue and said, "Let's go."

Liang Hanyue hummed in agreement and reached out to take the ingot, but Jin Yanchen avoided her.

As they entered the private room, the man, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Anyone who didn't know better would think you were her real boyfriend."

"I'd like to," Qin Yishen said without any modesty. "Will you give me that opportunity?"

"Dream on." Jin Yanchen put down Yuanbao and said coldly, "Yuanbao, bite him!"

Qin Yishen: "..." "Aren't you two childish?" Liang Hanyue rolled her eyes at them. "You must be seventy or eighty years old combined."

Qin Yishen looked completely innocent. "If you want to scold someone, scold him. I'm innocent."

Liang Hanyue curled her lip: "I didn't see that coming. I just had a meal with Shen Zhixing, and you all acted like you wanted to skin him alive."

“It’s not that I’m afraid of you…” Qin Yishen blurted out, but stopped halfway through.

"What are you afraid of me for?" Liang Hanyue pressed.

Qin Yishen didn't speak, but instead glanced at Jin Yanchen.

Jin Yanchen scoffed fearlessly, "Of course, I'm afraid you'll attract unwanted attention and find us another rival in love."

Liang Hanyue glared at him, "What's wrong with you now!"

Jin Yanchen didn't say anything, turning his head away with an arrogant look on his face.

Qin Yishen ordered drinks and food, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Should we call Gu Jingchen out?"

Jin Yanchen gave a forced smile: "If we call Jin Yanting over, and that guy surnamed Shen from earlier, we can make two tables of mahjong."

Qin Yishen: "..."

Liang Hanyue wasn't going to put up with him. "If you keep being so sarcastic, I'm going back to Haitang Lane."

Jin Yanchen shut up and stopped talking.

Liang Hanyue looked at Qin Yishen, who looked slightly embarrassed, and said, "Don't pay any attention to him. His mouth is full of poison. He might poison himself to death one day."

Jin Yanchen: “…”

Qin Yishen: "..."

Fortunately, the waiter brought the food, breaking the awkward and strange atmosphere.

Liang Hanyue took a sip of fruit wine and then picked out some snacks that Yuanbao could eat for it to try.

Jin Yanchen drank a glass of wine without saying a word, and as soon as he put it down, he refilled it and downed it in one gulp.

Seeing his reckless drinking, Qin Yishen gestured to Liang Hanyue to try and dissuade him.

Liang Hanyue pretended not to see it and continued playing by herself.

Jin Yanchen didn't know how much he had drunk, and soon he became dazed and leaned against the sofa, a pitiful look appearing on his handsome face.

Qin Yishen originally wanted to chat, but seeing Jin Yanchen's state, he wisely said, "He's had too much to drink, I'll be leaving now."

"Huh?" Liang Hanyue really wanted to ask, "What am I going to do now that you're gone? He's so big, he can't carry himself back!"

Unfortunately, Qin Yishen didn't give her a chance to ask and left first.

Only the two of them remained in the private room.

Liang Hanyue got up and sat down next to Jin Yanchen, nudging his arm. "Hey! Jin Yanchen... Jin Yanchen... Jin Yanchen!"

He remained unresponsive with his eyes tightly closed, even after being called several times.

Liang Hanyue looked helplessly at Yuanbao, who was lying on the carpet, staring at him with wide eyes.

It's not very ethical to leave him here, but I can't carry him on my back either.

Liang Hanyue got up and walked to the door of the private room, wanting to find someone to help her.

Su Xiaoxiao was standing guard at the door of the private room. When she saw her come out, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Boss, is there anything I can help you with?"

Liang Hanyue glanced back at the man leaning against the sofa: "He's had too much to drink. I'm thinking of asking Lao He to come and carry him back."

Su Xiaoxiao peeked into the private room, and the next second her clear voice said, "This is a small matter, I can handle it."
