    Chapter 21.2

    Xie Ling felt like there was still hope of straightening this bad boy. It wasn’t long since he turned the other way so there was still time to bring him back. Maybe he became like this because he got deeply hurt and so he turned to his own kind to seek comfort. This is what Xie Ling kept telling himself to comfort himself.

    “Ji–” Ji what was it again? Xie Ling had already forgotten the name of Rong Jing’s classmate.

    “Ji Leping,” Ji Leping replied immediately.

    “Right. You only have to supervise him for me. Once he gets close to an Alpha, or if there’s an Alpha that is after him, report it to me immediately. If necessary, stop the situation from getting serious,” Xie Ling still decided to solve the problem’s root cause.

    Ji Leping was not happy about this, “But this is… putting him under surveillance.”

    If Rong Jing knew, who would kill him first, his brother or Rong Jing? 

    Xie Ling said, “A movie with an investment of no less than 100 million yuan, with a role of a supporting male lead or maybe something greater.”

    Ji Leping was shaken. He was only from a side branch of the Ji family, and his Ji family was still testing the waters of the entertainment industry. They wouldn’t give him important roles.

    “W-wait a minute, why don’t you… just directly invest in Rong Jing?”

    Ji Leping somehow felt envious of Rong Jing. This kind of secretly protecting and escorting was really heart warming.

    In his Ji family, everything was staged. As a member of the side branch, he was still occasionally affected by them. It’s a long story, but anyway, it was really rare to see such a caring brother in affluent families.

    Xie Ling smiled and said in a low voice, “In his dreams.”

    What kind of joke was that? He should go home instead and inherit their family’s business. He had no talent. After four years of studying, he was still a chick. He can’t even face the camera.

    What’s the use of his passion in acting? Can it be eaten?

    Unless Rong Jing could change his mind, he’d continue to let him face more struggles. Let him struggle, he won’t care at all.

    ***

    Wu Hanqi refused to ride in his son’s Lamborghini. He was able to get where he was today not by publicity but by being low-key and pragmatic. When he reached his own car, he was just about to open the door when a beautiful young man sprang out from the side of the car.

    The boy was young. He looked at him pitifully with a soft, sweet smell of an Omega. A beauty that would be hard to refuse, especially for a Beta.

    The most important thing to note was that the boy bore a resemblance to Gu Xi, who was well-known in the entertainment industry.

    “Care to give me a ride?” This person was one of the starlets who came to the party. In this showy circle, who didn’t want to take a shortcut?

    Anyone who gets a connection with Wu Hanqi, a magnate who rarely appears in news and magazines, no matter how shallow it is, could immediately gain benefits and live a different life. The pitiful look of this starlet, together with damp moisture in the air, made out a picture that was similar to a delicate flower after the rain.

    Wu Hanqi looked at him, his deep, gentle eyes showing nothing. The boy’s heart was beating so fast and was just about to jump out of his chest when Wu Hanqi suddenly spoke. “Get in.”

    The boy got in the car, just like he had planned. He was surprised to find that Wu Hanqi was going to drive the car himself.

    What he didn’t know was that Wu Hanqi liked taking control of his own life. He didn’t have a driver because he trusted no one. 

    The boy sat nervously in the back seat and could only keep looking at the silent man driving in front of him. He didn’t talk to him, as if he was really just going to take him home.

    He didn’t seem interested in him. But if he wasn’t, why did he even let him enter his car?

    He couldn’t stand feeling lonely. He leaned towards the driver’s seat and sighed.

    Wu Hanqi spoke, seemingly smiling, “Can’t wait?”

    Probably because he had already encountered too many self-proposed bed warmers, Wu Hanqi seemed very calm.

    The boy felt abashed. However, what Wu Hanqi said the next moment almost made his heart stop.

    Wu Hanqi glanced at the rear view mirror and said two words indifferently, “Take it off.”

    Take off… did he mean to literally take it off?

    The boy thought that he was simply going to inspect the goods. It was normal for such a big shot such as him to inspect the goods before he takes a fancy. Since he dared to come to him, he has to be confident of what he has to show. It wasn’t the first time the boy had done such a thing but this was his first time feeling so nervous.

    Thinking that there was no one else in the car, he took off his clothes one by one, his hands trembling.

    Wu Hanqi simply glanced at him. Seeing the boy looking embarrassed and excited, he said leisurely, “And here I thought that a knife had only touched your face, but it seems like even those red beads, buttocks and there… you’ve had it all made, right?”

    Wu Hanqi paused, then said, “So what’s even real about you?”

    The entertainment industry wasn’t lacking in people who have had plastic surgery. However, someone like Wu Hanqi, who has already met all kinds of monsters and ghosts, could tell at a glance what was real and what was not.

    “Get dressed and get out of the car.”

    It seems that from the beginning, this bed warmer that the other party recommended was simply just a pastime for Wu Hanqi.

    He parked the car half-way up a hillside. Tears filled the boy’s eyes as he put his clothes back one by one, his hands shaking.

    Wu Hanqi glanced back at him, speaking with his natural elegance, “I don’t mind people cheating on me, but if they can’t even do it well, then it’s useless to even show up, right?”

    The boy looked at Wu Hanqi’s condescending smile, looking very embarrassed. The darkness of the night made the gentle-looking man look like a ghost. The boy began to regret seducing Wu Hanqi. How could he even think that such a big boss as him could be fooled? Now, he felt extremely afraid of the man in front of him.

    Wu Hanqi didn’t care and simply smiled, “I forgot to tell you. It’s not easy to be my lover since I’m kind of… picky.”

    The boy got out of the car and watched as the car drove away. Tears finally rolled down his face. This wasn’t acting, he was truly afraid.

    Wu Hanqi entered through another section and saw a familiar figure in front, his eyes narrowing slightly.

    He fished out his phone and looked for the tracker app. He saw that the red dot on the map was indeed near his car. He smiled.

    Gu Xi was walking down the road with his head down, with the light from his phone illuminating his face.

    He was focused on looking through a shopping app, looking for the necessary materials that he needed for sfx makeup such as skin wax, oil extension wax, latex, etc. Today, because of the keyboard warriors on the internet, he lost the time to do his makeup properly. He would never let Rong Jing recognize him so easily next time.

    Gu Xi clenched his teeth and clicked the items with the highest prices. He usually saved all his money and rarely spent such a large sum of money. Though his heart ached a little, he still pressed the ‘buy’ button firmly. 

    The next time you recognize me, I, Gu Xi, will take your last name, hehe.

    Gu Xi thought this to himself when he suddenly heard a voice behind him. He looked at the shadows on the ground and realized that a car was following him. Gu Xi looked behind him, looking very cautious, but saw a familiar face instead. His heart tightened for no reason.

    It was dark all around, and the rustling of the evening wind blowing the trees could be heard clearly.

    The man’s gentle voice seemed to carry a darkness behind it.

    “Get in, I’ll give you a ride.”
