Love□□

Zhou Qing'an got together with Qi Yue when she was just twenty-one. He gave her opportunities and publicity, and single-handedly made her famous. But the one thing he couldn't give her was love.

She thought theirs was nothing but a straightforward business arrangement, and that as long as he didn't call it off, they could keep it going.

But when Qi Yue's first love came back, Zhou Qing'an realized she had been nothing but a substitute.

Zhou Qing'an had made a name for herself, and Qi Yue had won back his first love. It was time for their arrangement to end.

Zhou Qing'an gritted her teeth and turned to leave, but Qi Yue wasn't having it.

"The contract is still in effect. You want to breach it?"

Zhou Qing'an: "The contract never said I had to eat with you, drink with you, and sleep with you for the rest of my life, did it?"

Qi Yue: "Ever heard of the casting couch?"

Netizen A: "Word is, the backer behind rising star Zhou Qing'an is Qi Yue, president of Huayun Entertainment."

Netizen B: "No wonder she's gotten such great opportunities!"

Netizen C: "Otherwise, she could never have become this popular in just three years."

Netizen D: "The entertainment industry is such a mess. I can't believe even a pure, innocent actress like Zhou Qing'an was pressured into sleeping with someone."

One day, after getting drunk, Qi Yue dragged Zhou Qing'an into his car after a banquet and pinned her to the back seat, kissing her without a word.

Zhou Qing'an pushed him away. "Sorry, Mr. Qi, but we've already terminated our contract."

Qi Yue looked at her with bloodshot eyes. "But what am I supposed to do now that I've fallen in love with you?"

I posted this in the wrong place, so here's a short, melodramatic story.
