Chapter 203 Ye Jingke's Sacrifice
On the table were seven sets of exquisite dolls, each the size of a palm. Cheng Ai recognized them at a glance; they were the puppets she had brought back from the first segment of "Dare to Challenge"!
Ye Jingke closed the window, looked at the other person's surprised expression, and smiled, "So? Do you like it?"
Cheng Ai's eyes sparkled as she nodded, took off her coat, and pounced on the bed. "I'd wake up laughing in my dreams if I could sleep in such a beautiful room every day."
Ye Jingke put his suitcase aside, sat lazily on the sofa, glanced at his watch, and said in a deep voice, "Come with me to the company tomorrow. My teacher wants to see you."
Cheng Ai jumped up in surprise, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. "Chi Mo?"
Ye Jingke's phone buzzed, and he absentmindedly hummed in response before hurriedly leaving to answer it.
As soon as he landed, he had Bai Jing announce his relationship with Cheng Ai. There were too many negative comments online, and he had to deal with them as soon as possible.
Exhausted from the journey, Cheng Ai lazily leaned back and soon fell asleep, ready to play chess with the Duke of Zhou (a figure in Chinese mythology associated with sleep).
When I woke up, it was already late at night.
She reached out to her side, but didn't find anyone, so she turned on the wall lamp.
The room was empty and quiet. Cheng Ai picked up her phone; there were three messages on it:
[Ai Ai, something urgent has come up at work, so I won't be home tonight. I've hired a maid and a chef; please have them make whatever you'd like to eat.]
[Xiao Ai, Uncle Liao wants to apologize to you on Thursday night for what happened with Yunqing and Yunyan. Would it be convenient for you to come over?]
[Little Ai'ai, please go to Yunqing's house for a meal! If you don't agree, I, Brother Lü, am going to be driven crazy by those two siblings!]
Cheng Ai's lips twitched, and she helplessly rubbed her forehead.
The Liao family really went to great lengths to invite me to dinner!
She sent Ye Jingke a cute emoji, then opened Lü Hanmo's chat window and typed carefully, "[One defense talisman and four peace talismans, totaling 100,000 yuan, please transfer the money immediately.]"
Cheng Ai turned off her phone and went downstairs, feeling extremely hungry.
Upon seeing the mistress of the house, the servants and cooks immediately lined up in the living room, awaiting instructions.
Cheng Ai waved her hand, signaling them to relax, then slumped onto the sofa and began reciting the menu, "Lobster, tofu, chicken wings, and a bowl of fragrant rice, please."
The chef received the order and immediately went to the kitchen to get busy, while the servants served tea, water, and cut fruit, all in perfect order.
After dinner, Cheng Ai went back to her bedroom and lay there like a corpse. Lü Hanmo had already transferred the money and asked her to seriously consider the dinner party.
She didn't reply, but just stared at the ceiling quietly, and fell asleep without realizing it.
The next day, the sun was shining brightly and the weather was slightly cool. Ye Jingke rushed back to have breakfast with Cheng Ai and then drove her to the company.
The two appeared at the same time at Shengding International, which aroused much discussion among the employees.
Ye Jingke led Cheng Ai to a room and said in a deep voice, "Teacher Chi is the agent I found for you. Don't rush to leave. Come directly to my office."
Cheng Ai gave an OK sign, knocked on the door and went in, only to unexpectedly run into an acquaintance.
Chi Mo didn't even glance at her, and said gently, "Xiao Fu, go to the practice room first to memorize the sales pitch for alcohol. I'll find you later."
"Yes, teacher." Bai Fu responded obediently, and respectfully said "Good morning" to Cheng Ai as she passed by before leaving.
The room fell silent again. Chi Mo looked down at her phone, showing no intention of speaking.
Before Cheng Ai's patience completely wore thin, she finally got to the point, "Did you know about Jing Ke's official announcement?"
Cheng Ai recalled what Ye Ye had said on the glacier, nodded, and asked in return, "What's wrong? Are you jealous?"
Chi Mo snorted coldly and couldn't help but sneer, "Jing Ke is really unlucky to have a girlfriend like you."
Cheng Ai's face immediately darkened. She gathered spiritual energy in her right hand and asked coldly, "What do you mean?"
"Didn't you want to know why I hate you?" Chi Mo handed over her phone, a smirk playing on her lips. "You'll understand once you see these pictures."
Cheng Ai hesitated for a moment, then withdrew her spiritual power to catch it.
When she saw what was on the screen, her almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise.
The image shows a news headline at the top: Ye Jingke and his female artist Cheng Ai publicly announcing their relationship, followed by comments from netizens.
[Damn, has my brother gone mad? He actually chose that charlatan?!]
[Oh dear, honey, please think this through! You can't be so hasty in choosing a partner!]
Am I blind, or is Ye Yingdi blind? Cheng, that illegitimate daughter, doesn't deserve him at all!
Can a Taoist practitioner have a boyfriend? Aren't they afraid of breaking their vows?
There are several young actresses who have won Best Actress awards in the entertainment industry; any one of them, even blindfolded, is better than Cheng Ai!
[The Night-Time Movie King has fallen for an 18th-tier actress? Ha, I don't believe it, today must be April Fool's Day!]
[I'll say it three times: Cheng Ai, die! Cheng Ai, die!]
[Keep my husband away from secondhand goods that Hao Jian has ruined!]
Cheng Ai's body trembled, and she slid her thumb to the left, revealing the second picture.
[Brother, are you being bewitched and controlled by Cheng Ai? If so, let's all chip in and beat her to death.]
I've unfollowed him. I don't like male celebrities who have partners.
[Please let your brother go. There are plenty of good men out there. Please think it over carefully again.]
[My god, Cheng Biao put her own biological father in jail. Aren't you afraid of repeating the same mistake?]
[Damn it, that bastard is seducing the Nightingale Emperor! I can tolerate this, but I can't!]
Cheng Ai bit her lip and continued flipping through the photos; without exception, they were all filled with insults.
She took out her phone from her small bag, opened Weibo, and immediately saw the trending topics on the leaderboard.
I clicked on it with trembling hands, wanting to find out what was going on, but the comments section was empty except for some well wishes and such.
Cheng Ai frowned in deep thought, but before she could figure it out, Chi Mo thoughtfully explained, "Because of you, the public relations department worked overtime all night last night to barely suppress the public opinion."
She paused for a moment, then added, "Jingke intentionally kept it from you, but I'm determined to expose him. Otherwise, you'll never know the meaning of restraint."
You have a straightforward personality, and most netizens like this kind of genuine celebrity. But now you're Jingke's girlfriend, and your every word and action is under scrutiny. I hope you can consider his feelings more.
Cheng Ai didn't respond. She silently opened Ye Jingke's Weibo homepage and stared blankly at the number.
In just two months, Ye Ye's number of fans dropped from 90 million to 70 million!
Could it be that all of this is due to myself?
She took a deep breath, suppressing the bitterness in her heart.
He put the phone back, then tossed Chi Mo's phone onto the table, looked at her coldly, and said in a calm tone with a hint of warning, "You are Ye Ye's teacher, and I respect you, but if you overstep your bounds, don't blame me for being impolite. After all, he hired you to be my manager, not my stepmother!"
