Li Xiaoyi

Chen Fei noticed the darkness gathering in Gu Zichen's eyes. He immediately gathered Wu Jinyan's details and medical records, as ordered by his boss.

Since the moment Gu Zichen read the contents, he burned like a ball of fire. The killing intent in his eyes was the same as when a tiger eyes its prey.

Chen Fei knew the content as he compiled most of the information. He had never seen his boss be this angry because of a woman. The rage his boss was feeling now was more intense than the emotions he displayed when Li Xiaoyi left him two years ago.

According to the details he collected, Wu Jinyan was an orphan from the countryside adopted by the Wu family which controls a chain of upscale restaurants and bars in the city. She had only one major accident in her life namely the wreckage of her marriage with Young Master Mo and the spread of a dangerous virus like rumor about her cheating on her fiancé and pregnancy. It was just a rumour that could disappear over time, but it still broke Wu Jinyan's heart and she slipped into depression as her family disowned her. 

Later, Wu Jinyan went overseas and returned to the country recently. All her medical records were mostly from three years ago and her recent involvement with hospitals was a few visits with a gynaecologist and dentist which was normal.

Just for those few simple issues, his boss was acting up like a beast. He didn't know which matter regarding her past made Gu Zichen unhappy. It's not like she killed someone and had complaints filed against her in court.

Was he feeling jealous knowing that he was not the first man in her life? But he was the one who married her anyway and what's there to worry?

Chen Fei wondered how Wu Jinyan would react if she knew how his boss was acting after learning her history. When he wanted to say something Gu Zichen's mobile vibrated, making him shut his open mouth.

"You want me to stay in your apartment, Alright. See you soon"

Gu Zichen spoke calmly though his heart was aching with her showering too much affection on her neighbour's kid.

As the call ended, he had a smile on his lips instead of the evil smirk he had all along like a cruel animal laying traps to catch prey.

Chen Fei immediately asked professionally "Boss, did something happen?"

"Yes. From tomorrow I won't be in my villa. Come to Madam's apartment if there's anything important" Gu Zichen said picking his coat from the coat hanger.

Chen Fei saw his boss's excitement and instantly cancelled all the meetings that day.

--

Wu Jinyan successfully dropped Little Bunny at his kindergarten before she followed Lin Ran to a filming studio.

"Sister Lin, are we here to meet someone?" Wu Jinyan asked in confusion.

"No.." Lin Ran sounded cold as always.

Wu Jinyan heard her manager's single-word answer. She knew if not for meeting someone, she could get inside that place only to participate in the shooting at that particular filming studio.

"Am I going to act in this work?" Wu Jinyan asked again in doubt but received no answer. She found the project might be bad for them to have only a few staff around the filming area.

"Sister, is this some low-rated drama? Why are there only a few production staff and why don't I see any actors here?"

"Should you question me about everything? Can't you stay silent until I tell you why you are here?" Lin Ran yelled in irritation. She was already annoyed to death due to that damn kid's continuous chatter in her car until he was dropped at his kindergarten and here this girl also started to annoy her by asking stupid questions.

Seeing that sister Lin was angry, Wu Jinyan silently followed her until she was brought to a space where a few women gathered around a table.

Among the people grouped together, Wu Jinyan recognized one woman just with a single glance. It was Li Xiaoyi, the woman whom she met in Gu Zichen's office, 

Wu Jinyan immediately turned around. She was already starting to feel uneasy just by seeing her and if she got noticed by Li Xiaoyi, she might really die there just with the way how rapid her heart was beating at the moment. 

She was so panicked, that Wu Jinyan forgot how she disguised herself the last time she met her.

Unaware of Wu Jinyan's struggle, Lin Ran slowly explained why she brought her there "Jinyan, I already signed the contract on your behalf, you don't need to worry. You know singer Li Xiaoyi right? She's making a surprise comeback soon and you participate in the music video shooting. The MV concept falls more under the dramatic category than the dance type. Just do what they asked you to do. You will have little screen time but Li Xiaoyi's songs will surely reach all kinds of people in the industry and you may catch someone's eye in the future. Just make good use of this rare opportunity. Do well, okay...."

Wu Jinyan had a blank look on her face as Lin Ran kept blabbing. She didn't understand why her manager struggled that much just to bring her to Li Xiaoyi's MV shooting. It's not like she was dying to see or talk to that woman again.

In the present situation, the only woman she wanted to avoid at any cost was Li Xiaoyi. However, she was brought to participate in that woman's MV shooting.

What kind of game were the heavens playing to make her meet Li Xiaoyi again?

Wu Jinyan stood like a wooden log, her brain working like a supercomputer. She just wanted a plan to escape from that place silently without causing a scene. 

She thought for a second and concluded she could only go to the washroom to get some alone time to escape from there.
