Fifth Master Lu paused for a long time. Siyu noticed that his gaze was fixed on her lips. His warm thumb rubbed against her lips as if he was playing with a rare antique. It gave her the illusion that she was being targeted by a hunter.
Fortunately, Xu Qingwan was a restless person. She desperately twisted her body, trying to break free from the bodyguard's grip. Her voice trembled as she forced herself to calm down. She shouted at Siyu, "Siyu, what are you doing? Hurry up and tell your friend to let me go. This is a screening. It won't be good if someone sees us …"
She completely forgot that she was the one who had the wrong idea first. She followed Siyu all the way here with the intention of getting something to use against her. She even secretly prayed that Siyu had some unspeakable secret. That way, if she got her hands on her, she could do whatever she wanted.
Now, she was speaking in a dignified manner as if her sneaky actions didn't exist.
When Siyu heard Xu Qingwan speak, she breathed a sigh of relief. She pretended to look in Xu Qingwan's direction and quickly dodged Fifth Master Lu's hand. Then, she pulled away from him. Only then did she feel that the feeling of being watched like a shadow gradually weaken.
"This isn't my friend. My words don't matter. Xu Qingwan, if you want to plead, don't plead with me." Siyu saw that Xu Qingwan was looking at her eagerly and couldn't help but frown.
She wasn't a fool. Besides, she had learned her lesson from the Han Tiantian. Xu Qingwan silently followed behind her. It was already clear what she wanted to do. Siyu didn't want to let her off so easily.
Xu Qingwan's arm was still clamped down, and she maintained a very awkward position. Her entire upper body was in pain and numbness, causing her face to twist a little. Especially when she heard Siyu Gan's crisp refusal, a trace of resentment suddenly appeared in her eyes.
Fifth Master Lu seemed to have only noticed that there was another person at this time. He withdrew his hand that was still on Siyu's lips and let it hang by his side. He unconsciously rubbed the pad of his thumb as if he was still reminiscing the moment of softness. Meanwhile, his other hand slowly turned the prayer beads and sent out dust.
"Your words do matter." Fifth Master Lu's first words were to undermine Siyu. When Siyu looked over in confusion, he lowered his eyes and chuckled. He didn't even spare Xu Qingwan a glance out of the corner of his eye. "What do you want to do with this person?"
Ask her? Siyu thought that she had misheard, but after observing for a while, she found that Fifth Master Lu's expression was serious — he was really asking for her opinion.
From the beginning until now, Siyu didn't dare to say that she knew Fifth Master Lu very well, but one thing was absolutely certain: this man had an extraordinary desire for control. Everything had to develop according to his wishes before he was satisfied. However, as long as there was a slight deviation from the established track, he couldn't tolerate it. For example, the medicine that Siyu drank was all concocted in advance. For example, the style and color of the dress that he gave Siyu were all personally chosen by him. For example, the unlucky A, B, C, and D who were disobedient in front of him and were unlucky.
Therefore, when Fifth Master Lu suddenly asked for her opinion, Siyu was a little confused. She whispered, "I, I don't know …?"
Because Fifth Master Lu's expression was very serious, Siyu couldn't help but think seriously. She was indeed very annoyed with Xu Qingwan, but if she was alone, it would be right to stay far away from her and not have any interaction with her. She hadn't thought of other more excessive methods.
Looking at Siyu's expression, Fifth Master Lu could roughly guess what this little girl was thinking, so he sighed softly in his heart. She was really too soft.
"Throw her out." Fifth Master Lu didn't wait any longer and made a decision.
"Wait, Mr. Lu, no — Fifth Master, listen to me, I didn't do it on purpose!" Xu Qingwan felt the sudden increase in strength on her shoulders. She clenched her teeth in pain and no longer cared about pretending. She realized that the man with an extraordinary temperament in front of her was not joking and immediately panicked. "I, I promise that it won't be like this next time …"
At this moment, all jealousy was thrown to the back of her mind. Xu Qingwan only knew that she couldn't be dragged out like this. There were so many media reporters outside. Once she went out, it would be over!
Siyu suddenly remembered the Han Tiantian and immediately said, "Wait, I have something to ask her."
Seeing that it was her who spoke, the group of bodyguards in black didn't ask anything. They simply let go and stood silently in the corner like shadows.
"Xu Qingwan, before the screening, did you design Han Tiantian?" Siyu stepped forward and asked with a frown.
Xu Qingwan was wearing high heels and almost lost her balance when she was released. Her hair, which she had carefully tied up during the struggle, was also untied. She looked up at Siyu, who was wearing a long dress and had a cold expression. Her eyebrows twitched. She originally wanted to say sarcastically that it was none of her business, but when her eyes met the terrifying gaze of the man behind Siyu, it was as if he was looking at an inanimate object. She immediately shrank back, as if she was being controlled by someone. She nodded and unexpectedly admitted, "Yes."
As soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted it. How could she admit it?
But that Fifth Master's gaze was too terrifying. It was as if if she didn't tell the truth, she would immediately be cut to pieces … If Xu Qingwan had any romantic thoughts about this man before, they were all thrown away. She couldn't help but tremble.
Siyu ignored Xu Qingwan's regret and continued to ask, "Who was the person who contacted you? Do you have any recordings of Han Tiantian?"
This time, Xu Qingwan fiercely shook her head.
Seeing that she wasn't cooperating, Siyu lowered her voice and said, "Tell me who that person is, and I'll let you go back to the venue. Otherwise, if these people want to make you disappear, it's a very simple matter. Do you understand?"
Siyu didn't want to threaten people like this, but in the face of a cunning person like Xu Qingwan, she could only take advantage of this opportunity to get some truth from her because she was obviously very afraid of Fifth Master Lu.
When Xu Qingwan heard this, she was indeed a little shaken. After thinking it over, she didn't dare to continue being stubborn. She reluctantly gave up the reporter she called to set up the trap.
After getting the detailed information, Siyu planned to ask Lu Xingzhou to give a warning. Just as she took out her phone, Fifth Master Lu frowned. "Who else do you want to call?"
He was still standing there. If this young lady didn't look for him to solve her problem, who else would she look for? She was getting bolder and bolder.
Siyu answered matter-of-factly, "Lu Xingzhou, of course. Isn't he the president of Huanyi? He should be more familiar with the media circle. I'll ask him if I can contact this person to withdraw the article …"
Xu Qingwan listened carefully from the side, and her heart instantly sank. Based on Zhou Siyu's tone, she seemed to have a good relationship with the president of Huanyi. If that was the case … did she still have a chance of defeating her?
Fifth Master Lu's frown deepened. He couldn't be bothered to ask any more questions, so he simply ordered his subordinates to do the job. At the same time, he threw Xu Qingwan, who had already lost her soul, back into the venue. Then, step by step, he approached Siyu and said with a faint smile, "Nowadays, you always think of Lu Xingzhou first, huh?"
The last syllable was slightly raised, as if he was smiling, but Siyu somehow heard a strong threat in it.
She had a strong desire to live and shook her head, "No, absolutely not. I just think it might be more convenient to find him …"
Fifth Master Lu looked at the little rabbit who was avoiding his eyes and was full of anger. He had searched for all kinds of rare herbs from all over the world and finally managed to fatten this girl up a little. She was no longer as thin as she was when he first met her. When he picked her up, he could only feel her bones. However, the little girl turned her head and refused to admit it. The number of times she contacted Lu Xingzhou was much more than the number of times she contacted him — and when she contacted him, it was always him who took the initiative.
This wouldn't do.
He kept this white rabbit by his side because he wanted to fatten it up and keep it for himself. He did not plan to sell it to others. Thus, Si Yu's actions of "helping outsiders" made him very, very unpleasant to the eye.
Fifth Master Lu acted casually. With a stride of his long legs, he stood in front of Si Yu. The hand holding the prayer beads gently lifted her chin and looked at her for a few seconds. Just as Si Yu was still immersed in doubt, the man bent down slightly and touched her eyelids with his lips like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water.
Siyu: "!!"
Siyu was stunned.
What was he doing?
This action couldn't be called a kiss at all. It was just a touch. What Fifth Master Lu touched was only her eyelids, but the impact on Siyu was enough to shock her. This kind of surprise even overshadowed her impulse to vomit blood. She just stared at the man in front of her in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.
Fifth Master Lu was confident and didn't feel that this kind of intimate action was inappropriate at all. His thumb rubbed her lips, and the cold prayer beads knocked on Siyu's chin. It was a little uncomfortable. Then, Fifth Master Lu coaxed, "If you have any problems next time, remember not to find others, okay?"
Siyu's brain still didn't work properly. She didn't listen and just nodded numbly. She didn't know what she agreed to.
"Don't be afraid." As if he could guess Siyu's mood, Fifth Master Lu said warmly, "It's nothing."
It was just a temporary stamp. He was already very considerate of this little girl's courage. He was afraid that she would scare people. This time, he didn't stamp the right place, but he didn't say anything, right?
Fifth Master Lu had been in a high position for many years and understood the principle of restraint and release. If she stayed any longer, he was afraid that by the time this little girl reacted, she would be burned into a ball. Thus, he very considerately patted Siyu's soft cheeks and said, "Go back. I'll pick you up later."
…
Siyu floated back to the venue like a ghost. Her mind was in a mess, so she naturally didn't pay attention to Fifth Master Lu's last sentence. She was so distracted that when she returned to her seat, she almost tripped over Han Tiantian's outstretched legs. Even so, her eyes were still completely unfocused, and she almost groped her way back to her seat.
Coincidentally, the movie was coming to an end at this time. Siyu's character, Princess Yunhe, had already died. Faint suppressed cries could be heard in the venue. The fans were all immersed in the movie, and no one noticed Siyu's loss of composure.
Han Tiantian was also wiping tears, but after being tripped by Siyu, her three souls and seven spirits all came out of the movie. She hurriedly held Siyu's hand and asked, "Where did you go? Are you not feeling well? Why are you walking unsteadily?"
Looking at Siyu up close, Han Tiantian's sharp eyes caught a glimpse of the redness in her cheeks, ears, and pupils. In particular, her almond-shaped eyes were watery, as if she had been bullied and cried. Han Tiantian was shocked.
What was going on? Didn't Siyu go out with Ji Lin just now? The two of them were so close. Could it be that they quarreled? Otherwise, why would her face be red with anger? It looked like she was about to cry.
Han Tiantian called out worriedly, "Siyu?"
"… I'm fine." Siyu responded reflexively. Her eyes gradually focused. In an instant, shock, embarrassment, and panic intertwined, making her eyes look even more moist. After a few seconds, Siyu couldn't help but cover her face. The calmness she pretended to be was useless. "No, I still can't accept it …"
Fifth Master Lu must be joking, right, right? Or was this action a hint that he would settle the score with her later?
Siyu desperately tried to find an excuse in her heart. Han Tiantian next to her revealed a look of surprise and couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
Couldn't accept what? Siyu and Ji Lin's sibling relationship had broken?!
