Blurb:
On the day Tang An'an broke up with Zhou Qin, she finally saw just how calm and self-controlled he was.
Even breaking up, he was perfectly rational.
"An'an, stop making a scene. You can't expect me to be the same at thirty as I was at twenty-two."
Was it really unreasonable to object to him keeping in touch with his ex-girlfriend while he had a new one?
Tang An'an didn't even bother asking.
Cutting ties quickly and decisively had always been her rule in life.
After the breakup, Tang An'an joined Yanqing Entertainment. Zhou Qin pursued her relentlessly, acting like a completely different person.
Tang An'an watched him coolly, amused. "Mr. Zhou, looks like you can still be just like you were at twenty-two, even at thirty."
It was just that she hadn't been worth the effort before.
That night, Tang An'an got drunk at a bar. In a haze, she felt someone pick her up.
The media worked astonishingly fast. Five minutes later, the photo was trending on Weibo.
In it, Tang An'an had her arms wrapped tightly around the man's shoulders, her red lips close to his handsome face. She looked charming and alluring.
After sobering up, Tang An'an looked at the man lounging on the sofa and suggested, feeling a little guilty, "How about we pretend to be together to deal with the media?"
The man, who'd had his face kissed more than once, looked completely calm. A cigarette rested between his long fingers. Through the swirling smoke, the bright red lipstick mark on his right cheek was clearly visible. His voice was flat. "Tang An'an, do I look like an actor to you?"
Tang An'an: ...
Just as Tang An'an was about to cry, the man glanced over with his slightly raised, charming eyes. "What's in it for me if I date you?"
Tang An'an had no idea what she could offer He Yanzhi, a man who had everything under his thumb. "President He, you can name your terms. As long as it's within my ability, I'll do my best to meet them."
He Yanzhi looked at her. "Remember what you said."
Later, Tang An'an decided that He Yanzhi had served his purpose and could bow out. She came up with a whole list of reasons to discuss a peaceful public breakup with him.
The man scoffed. "Tang An'an, when did I ever agree to pretend?"
If they weren't pretending, then what were they doing?
Tang An'an realized too late that she'd been played: ...
Damn!
What He Chengyan had said was... that they would be together!
Not that he'd pretend to be her boyfriend!!!
