Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Feng Yi, what are you doing?” Yu Fei panicked. She looked around, afraid that others would see her. Her heart was beating violently, completely out of control. The strong scent of male hormones filled her nose. Every time she breathed in, she inhaled the unique scent of his body. She had nowhere to escape. How could he be so overbearing?!
“Yu Fei!” Feng Yi’s slender fingers pinched her chin, forcing her to look up at him. “There won’t be another woman.”
“W-what?” In her panic, Yu Fei’s eyes flickered.
“I’ll do what 1 ask of you.” Feng Yi smiled self-mockingly. “During the contract period, 1 won’t have any other women, and…”
His well-defined fingers rubbed her chin a few times, and his gaze fell on her red lips. His expression darkened. “Currently, other than you, 1 have no interest in other women.”
This sounded like a confession, but Yu Fei did not want to be delusional. She would not let herself believe that Feng Yi wanted no one else but her. He once said that he would only have a physiological reaction to her. That must be what he meant.
“After a year, if you insist on leaving, 1 will let you go. You don’t have to remind me so often. I haven’t forgotten our contract.” His dark gaze stared at her for a while before he finally let go of her arm, stood up straight, and released the shackles.
Then, he turned around and said in a cold voice, “I’ll help you keep this bracelet. This is a gift from Grandpa, so it belongs to you. As for how you want to deal with it, you can throw it away if you don’t like it.”
With that, he strode away.
She did not know if it was her imagination, but Yu Fei felt that Feng Yi was angry. Even if it was not obvious, she could still feel it. But why was he angry? Thinking about it carefully, she did not seem to have said anything overboard. She had already said that if he had a woman he liked, she would end the contract early and divorce him. Why would he be angry? Shouldn’t he be happy to meet such an understanding person like her?
Yu Fei had previously thought that Old Master Feng was a very difficult person to get along with, but after having a meal with him, she actually felt that Old Master Feng was not that difficult to get along with. After eating with the Old Master, they grew closer, and Old Master Feng’s attitude changed a lot. He was not as aggressive anymore.
The old man had eaten a lot of the crab roe and tofu pudding she made. After eating, he even praised her a few times, making Yu Fei feel flattered.
After dinner, the servants came over to pack up. Old Master Feng casually said, “Yu Girl, are you still an actress?”
It sounded very casual, but Yu Fei could hear no dissatisfaction in his tone. Yu Fei knew that people in the upper-class circle looked down on people in the entertainment industry. Those female celebrities who could marry into wealthy families also stepped out of the entertainment industry after marriage and stayed at home to take care of their husbands and raise their children. For wealthy families, they would think that it was embarrassing for a woman to show her face in public. The higher the level of a wealthy family, the more rules there were.
She had once heard that a popular female celebrity in the industry had spent a lot of effort and waited for a few years before finally marrying into a wealthy family. Before she entered the house, her mother-in-law had already set more than loo rules for her. It was written in black and white. She would only be allowed to enter the house if she could do it. It was like an ancient harem. But even so, there were still many people who envied that female celebrity and thought that she was a winner in life.
In Zhang Lin’s words: Forget loo rules, even if there were 200 or 300 rules, there would still be many women fighting to enter the rich and powerful families.
For the sake of money, no matter how awful or strange the request, there would still be people fighting to do it. Putting everything else aside, at least in the future, she would only open her legs for one man. This was better than a woman who opened her legs for many men just to eat.
At that time, Zhang Lin said seriously, ‘Xiao Fei, don’t say that Sister Zhang didn’t remind you. If there’s a chance to get on the list, don’t be stupid and refuse. Following a man is better than other methods. 1 can protect you now because the people 1 meet are still within my range. If 1 meet someone too powerful one day, I wouldn’t dare to offend them.’
On her first day in the industry, Yu Fei knew that this industry was chaotic. She knew, and so did Old Master Feng. People who stood at the peak of power had seen everything.
If Old Master Feng really liked that kind of virtuous and gentle woman, then he would definitely look down on her profession. After thinking for a moment, she replied truthfully, “Yes, 1 love my profession very much.”
“What’s so good about acting? You’re out all day, how can you care about your family?” Old Master Feng said calmly.
As expected, he hated this industry. Yu Fei’s expression changed, and she was a little worried. Old Master Feng was definitely being serious. She wondered what she would do if Old Master Feng asked her to leave the entertainment industry..
