Shen Shichuan makes no attempt to hide his feelings when he’s with Xia Yangyang.

After all, Xia Yangyang is the only one who truly knows how he feels about Shen Manbing.

“Things are different now, Manbing is single, and that guy just won’t leave her alone, he’s relentless and his skin is thicker than a city wall.”

At the end of his statement, there was a hint of life criticizing tone.

Xia Yangyang had never seen what Shen Shichuan looked like when he was jealous before.

Turns out guys look the same when they are jealous.

They’re childish, like little kids.

Xia Yangyang couldn’t help laughing, and teased him, “That might be risky after all. Girls can easily be touched by a man who has been giving without asking anything in return for a long time. For girls, love is like ice and water. When ice melts, it naturally turns into water.”

Hearing what Xia Yangyang said, Shen Shichuan’s face darkened even more.

The location of the dinner was a six-star hotel built in a royal mansion.

It was old-fashioned, with every brick and tile antiquities.

Upon alighting from their car, bellboys took care of the parking.

Walking into the building felt like stepping onto a movie set.

The VIP room was named “Nourishing the Heart”.

The VIP rooms here were all named after the residences of the ancient emperor’s concubines.

The “Nourishing the Heart” naturally was the top-tier VIP room.

Upon entering, Director Zhang and a few producers and editors were already there.

They were all chatting together.

Cui Chenghao and Shen Manbing had just arrived as well.

Cui Chenghao was sitting next to Shen Manbing, even performed a magic trick he had just learned for her.

He covered his hand with a napkin, asked Shen Manbing to blow on it, and when he lifted it, there was a rose in his hand.

Then Cui Chenghao handed the rose to Shen Manbing, and said in his broken Chinese, “Bingbing, even this rose is blushes in front of you, just like the Chinese saying – the moon dims and the flowers blush.”

Shen Manbing laughed, “Silly, the phrase is ‘the beauty that could make the moon dim and the flowers blush.’ But, Hao, your Chinese has really improved.”

Xia Yangyang almost forgot.

Cui Chenghao is a Korean citizen, half-Chinese, half-Korean and has been living in South Korea most of the time.

Most prominent talent agencies in South Korea are under the Universal Group.

Plus, he was smart and handsome, not less than any of the heartthrobs in the entertainment industry.

So, whether in the Chinese entertainment circle or in the South Korean entertainment circle, he held high prestige and popularity.

“Just a parlor trick,” Shen Shichuan muttered next to Xia Yangyang.

Xia Yangyang almost burst into laughter.

It seemed like Shen Shichuan’s jealousy would spill tonight.

Shen Shichuan had already led Xia Yangyang over.

He introduced her to everyone in order.

Standing next to Shen Shichuan, Xia Yangyang greeted everyone politely.

When it came time to introduce Cui Chenghao, Shen Shichuan paused, then said, “This is Universal Group’s President Cui Chenghao. President Cui is a gentleman with a noble appearance, a truly upright person. We’ll definitely need his care and guidance in the future.”

Cui Chenghao was all smiles upon hearing Shen Shichuan’s words, “Shichuan, I am flattered by your praise. I love the word ‘gentleman’, but what’s this ‘upright person’? Is it about being good-looking?”

Everyone around suddenly burst into laughter.

Even Shen Manbing was laughing so hard she was leaning forward and then backward.

She held Cui Chenghao’s arm and said, “My elder brother is making fun of you. ‘Upright person’ means a thief.”

Cui Chenghao was still confused, “I know there’s a phrase ‘a man of integrity’, it refers to someone very upright. Isn’t ‘gentleman’ a good word in China?”

Only then, with belated understanding, did he ask Shen Shichuan, “Shichuan, it’s so not cool of you, why did you call me a thief?”
