Chapter 9 - Secret Cooperation

Just as Chi Yaoxi was frightened and at a loss, she suddenly heard little Chenchen's childish voice from outside the door. "Mommy, Mommy open the door!" Chi Yaoxi widened her eyes in shock and disbelief.

She quickly opened the door, the little fella pounced on her and hugged her leg. He pouted and asked with a smile, "Mommy, did you miss me?"

Chi Yaoxi nodded as she looked around nervously. There was no one outside. She grabbed the little guy in her arms, closed the door, and walked inside.

When filming with a woman like Mo Yuzhen, one had to be especially careful and be on guard at all times. She wondered if that woman would find someone to watch her from the side since she liked to play dirty tricks behind people's backs.

Just as she carried the little fellow to the sofa and the two of them had yet to sit down, there was another knock on the door. Chi Yaoxi was stunned. Who was this?

She immediately placed the little fellow on the sofa and blinked at him. She extended her index finger to make a "shh" gesture, indicating for him not to make a sound, and then pointed at the door.

Little Chenchen blinked at his mother and nodded vigorously.

Chi Yaoxi tiptoed to the door and looked out through the peephole. She saw Song Ming, who was playing the male lead in the same production team, standing there in formal attire. "It's already so late. What's the matter?"

Song Ming was a little excited when he heard Chi Yaoxi's question through the door. He had just gone downstairs to look for her, and the attendant was right. She had indeed changed to a VIP room.

Chi Yaoxi was an outstanding actress and a popular celebrity with a lot of experience. She was at the height of her popularity in the film industry and was also one of the candidates for this year's Best Actress Award. If he could get involved with her, just the scandal would make him popular.

Song Ming didn't want to let go of this rare opportunity. He said politely and ingratiatingly, "Miss Chi, I'm Song Ming. I brought the script over. This is our first collaboration, and I want to rehearse the lines beforehand."

Rehearse? It was late at night and the little guy was still inside. It was not convenient to open the door, let alone rehearse. Chi Yaoxi felt a little awkward and frowned unhappily. "It's too late. We should rehearse next time."

Song Ming knew that these famous actors were not easy to talk to. "Ms. Chi, there's not much content. Open the door and let me in. It'll be done in less than half an hour."

When Chi Yaoxi heard this, she was a bit angry. She had just rejected him. Did he still not understand? She raised her voice again and rejected him even more seriously. "We can talk about work during working hours. It's break time now!" Why was this person so tactless! She had already rejected him, yet he was still pestering her outside.

Chi Yaoxi saw that Song Ming still had no intention of leaving and was annoyed by him. She called her manager, Sister Ming.

Sister Ming came up quickly and chased him away.

Song Ming was very disappointed. His scheme had failed and he was being despised. He could only walk to his room at the end of the corridor.

The door to Mo Yuzhen's room was open. Song Ming's every move was seen by her, and her jealousy towards Chi Yaoxi increased.

Hmph! This b*tch is always trying to steal the limelight no matter where she goes! She's clearly a supporting role, yet she actually switched to the VIP room upstairs, one level higher than her room.

Also, Song Ming was a shameless man. He was originally the male lead, but he had taken the initiative to look for the second female lead. He wanted to take advantage of her and get involved with her. How useless.

Mo Yu Zhen thought coldly in her heart, but on the surface, she had a beautiful smile on her face. As she looked at Song Ming who walked past her door, she deliberately pretended to cough. Song Ming's footsteps paused for a moment.

Mo Yuzhen glanced at Song Ming and said mockingly, "You can't get close to a woman like Chi Yaoxi."

When Song Ming heard this, he felt very awkward. He turned to glance at her and continued walking forward.

Just as he took two steps out, he saw Mo Yuzhen approach from behind. She leaned on Song Ming's shoulder and said softly and seductively, "There's a chance. Do you want to cooperate, hmm? You know."

Song Ming's eyes darkened. He immediately understood what Mo Yuzhen meant by cooperation. He had long heard that Mo Yuzhen and Chi Yaoxi did not get along.

Mo Yuzhen walked in front of Song Ming, one hand supporting her slender waist as she leaned against the wall. Her posture was enchanting, and she kept blinking at him with a bewitching smile.

After pausing for a few seconds, Song Ming nodded in agreement. The two of them entered Mo Yuzhen's room one after another.

Chi Yaoxi finally returned to Little Chenchen's side in peace. She picked up the chubby little fellow and instantly felt her mood improve.

"Baby, why are you here so late? It's probably time for you to sleep."

The little guy snuggled into Chi Yaoxi's arms and rubbed against her. He hugged her neck intimately and said, "I know, Mommy, but I miss you. I can't sleep without you. Also, also…" The little fellow's big watery eyes flickered as he stammered and didn't finish his sentence.

"What else? Tell Mommy." Chi Yaoxi looked at the soft and cuddly ball in her arms and kissed the little guy's forehead. Her heart was filled with maternal love.

"Also, I'm afraid that bad people will bully mommy. I'm here to protect you!" The little guy said seriously and seriously.

Chi Yaoxi hugged him even tighter, feeling extremely moved. Having only known each other for less than a day, Chi Yaoxi suddenly felt that the little guy was the closest person to her. "Okay, thank you, darling. Mommy is so happy to hear that."

"Mommy, can you promise me one thing? I want to stay here tonight and sleep with Mommy." Little Chenchen kissed Chi Yaoxi's cheek and hugged her neck, acting coquettishly.

Chi Yaoxi was somewhat hesitant. This was not a simple matter. However, if she were to hug this chubby child to sleep in the quiet night, she would definitely have a sweet dream. Chi Yaoxi was actually looking forward to it.

It's only for one night. I'll send the little one away early tomorrow morning. It shouldn't be a problem. However, could the little guy make the call? Chi Yaoxi pinched his chubby little face and asked, "Does your daddy know you're here? Does he agree to let you sleep here?"

Before the little guy could answer, there was another knock on the door. It was louder than before.

Chi Yaoxi was very angry. This Song Ming was too much! He had just been chased away and now he was back, disturbing others' rest time in the middle of the night. She could not be too polite with such a person who did not follow the rules.

As she walked out, Chi Yaoxi was furious. She shouted at the door, "Are you done!" She suddenly opened the door. Chi Yaoxi was stunned. She looked in front of her in disbelief, her eyes wide open. What was going on? Why was he here?

She saw that Li Qianming was wearing a black woolen jacket and still had a handsome cold face, staring at her coldly.
