Yao Shen recoils in shock at Tan Liansi's words, but she keeps smiling at him as if it's nothing.
"Don't look so surprised, I'm just looking out for my ge" she says, through gritted teeth, her smile never once faltering.
She leaves Yao Shen's side and bounds over towards Xin Hulei, hooking her arm into his and leaning her face into his shoulder.
Xin Hulei barely notices her presence and continues talking with his assistant, as if he's so used to Tan Liansi invading his personal space that it doesn't even register.
Yao Shen watches them from a distance, feeling a mix of ambiguous feelings.
"Sucks, doesn't it?" a voice says from his right, making Yao Shen nearly jump out of his skin.
He finds Jia Hao beside him, with his arms crossed behind his head and a smirk on his pretty face. "Did you get me what I wanted?"
