Lou Yuming found that Song Xi only softened her sharp tongue when she was in bed.
So he tossed and turned her in every way that night, only stopping after he had had his fill of the jabs she'd thrown at him in the car.
He looked down at her, pliant as a puddle of water, with the smugness of a victor.
"Still can't handle you."
Song Xi apologized repeatedly, her voice hoarse.
Afterward, Lou Yuming said in a deep voice, "I turned down Sunny."
Unexpectedly, the woman who had just been weakly groaning about dying sat bolt upright from her near-death state.
"No!"
"..."
Lou Yuming took a drag of his cigarette, narrowing his eyes as he looked at her.
Song Xi immediately feigned weakness and lay back down, resorting to her usual charming tactics.
"That's something I earned with my own ability." Although it wasn't confirmed yet, judging by Mr. Sang's enthusiastic applause, Song Xi felt it was practically a done deal.
"Ability?" The man scoffed, "You actually dare to say that."
Song Xi retorted, "You just don't understand!"
Lou Yuming didn't deny it. When she sang and acted then, he hadn't paid much attention. He'd only been thinking how audacious she was to flaunt herself in front of other men.
He had been furious then, and had no inclination to appreciate her so-called "ability."
"Anyway, I turned it down."
He gave a direct order.
He hadn't expected her to still defy him.
"Impossible!"
Lou Yuming was getting a little angry now. "Song Xi, my patience is limited. You'd better not argue with me."
Song Xi pursed her lips, her face full of resentment.
If she agreed, she could secretly go later, and he wouldn't know after it was filmed.
"If you dare to act first and report later, I won't let you off."
Unexpectedly, he seemed to have mind-reading abilities, staring at her intently.
Just then, her phone rang.
Lou Yuming stubbed out his cigarette, pinched her chin, said, "I'm not kidding," and then got up to answer the call.
Song Xi was biting her lip so hard it was almost bleeding.
Why?
Why should he make her give up something she had fought so hard for!
Reluctant, unwilling, resentful!
Song Xi looked at the man's retreating back and secretly made up her mind.
She was going to film it!
At worst, she'd just have to endure it. His only methods of dealing with her were in bed anyway; it wouldn't cost her her life.
However, after the phone call ended, the man's gaze at her became complicated.
Song Xi thought he had seen through her thoughts again and quickly lowered her head.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly said, "...If you want to film it, then film it."
"???"
Song Xi's mind exploded like fireworks.
What a gift from nature! Was she dreaming!
Song Xi even dared not ask why, for fear that Lou Yuming would change his mind.
"Where's Xiao Mo?" he suddenly asked.
Song Xi didn't react. "Do you need her for something?"
Lou Yuming fiddled with his phone.
He needed to increase her salary.
"Where are you going?"
He suddenly walked forward without a word, his back looking extremely serious.
Without a response, Song Xi wasn't curious.
She just wanted tomorrow to come quickly; she couldn't wait!
The next day, Song Xi received a call from Dai Ze saying that Fang Ze had been fired and was not pursuing any responsibility.
The other company had also voluntarily terminated the contract and was to compensate Song Xi one hundred thousand yuan.
?
So money really did fall from the sky.
Dai Ze said nothing, nor did he tell Song Xi that the call last night had been from him, and that he had told Lou Yuming everything.
It seemed that President Lou cared quite a bit about her.
Dai Ze said, "See if you have time today to come over and sign some contracts."
"What contracts?"
"A termination contract and an endorsement contract."
Song Xi shot up from the bed, "I'm coming over right now!!"
