Qin Huaichen lifted his gaze, his peach blossom eyes filled with a hint of anger. "Can't you see that I'm busy?" Since entering the entertainment industry, Qin Huaichen had learned to hide his original temper well. Although he may not appear easy to get along with, he never acted arrogantly. However, his reputation as "Third Master Qin" wasn't without basis.
Shen Nanhai had never interacted with Qin Huaichen before, but he had heard many things about him. However, those rumors circulating in the entertainment industry were often distorted and unreliable. Subconsciously, Shen Nanhai thought of Qin Huaichen as a playboy who was easy to approach.
However, Qin Huaichen's glance just now caught him off guard. Shen Nanhai quickly apologized, his gaze growing gloomy. There was plenty of time ahead, and he vowed that one day Qin Huaichen would pay for his actions today.
After Shen Nanhai walked away, Qin Huaichen learned from his mistake and promptly let go of Fu Xiaoya. He regained his composure, returning to his previous arrogant demeanor. However, his hands felt stiff, fingertips still tingling with warmth, and he could vaguely sense the softness at his waist.
"Thank you," Fu Xiaoya said without thinking too much about it.
"You're welcome," Qin Huaichen cleared his throat, his curiosity piqued about why Fu Xiaoya had been afraid of Shen Nanhai. Keeping that in mind, he decided to ask her the question directly.
Fu Xiaoya didn't want to reveal the truth to an outsider, so she could only come up with a fabricated answer. "I'm not afraid. I just suddenly felt like hugging you. Is that not allowed?"
This answer left Qin Huaichen unable to argue. He nodded and was in a very good mood. "Of course, it's allowed."
"My brother is probably getting anxious. Let's go back first," Fu Xiaoya said, thoughts and Qin Huaichen's wandering thoughts, and headed back to find Fu Song.
Qin Huaichen wore a smile on his face, his heart filled with a sweet sensation as he trailed behind Fu Xiaoya. People couldn't help but be captivated by the sight of these two, a man and a woman, walking together with their striking appearance and charisma. They exuded an aura that reminded onlookers of a prestigious couple on the verge of forming an extraordinary alliance. In their presence, a certain radiance emanated, drawing the attention of everyone around them.
Shen Youyou also noticed Qin Huaichen and Fu Xiaoya, but she didn't see Fu Xiaoya's face clearly. She had a nagging feeling that the woman beside Qin Huaichen had a familiar figure, reminiscent of her adopted sister. However, it couldn't be possible since Fu Xiaoya lacked the same confidence and elegance.
Shen Youyou shook her head, dismissing the idea that Fu Xiaoya had any connection with Qin Huaichen.
"Sister Youyou, you must help me this time. Why does Fu Xiaoya, someone who has never entered the entertainment industry, snatch away the opportunity that should have been mine?" Shi Yuan grew angrier the more she thought about it. She was too preoccupied to pay attention to the couple who had just walked past, otherwise she would have recognized that woman as the one who stole her opportunity, Fu Xiaoya!
Shen Youyou's mood wasn't great either, and upon hearing Fu Xiaoya's name, her annoyance grew. "What did you just say?"
Feeling Shen Youyou's impatience, Shi Yuan didn't know how to proceed. Fortunately, Shen Youyou quickly realized that her earlier reaction had been excessive. She held onto Shi Yuan's hand and calmly asked, "Who was it you mentioned took your position?"
"Fu Xiaoya!" Shi Yuan poured out her frustrations to Shen Youyou, releasing all her built-up anger. "Didn't you say that Fu Xiaoya, besides being a bit more attractive, is not capable of anything else? Sister Youyou, doesn't the Shen family have shares in Holy View Entertainment? Can you please help me with this?"
Shen Youyou furrowed her brows. She hadn't expected to hear Fu Xiaoya's name while she was in Haicheng for a commercial shoot. But this Fu Xiaoya she knew, was it the same person?
"Do you have any pictures of Fu Xiaoya?" Shen Youyou asked.
"Of course." Shi Yuan quickly opened her phone.
In the photo, Fu Xiaoya had gentle eyes and a confident aura, quite different from Shen Youyou's impression of her. Was it because of a different hairstyle and clothing? Shen Youyou pondered.
Shi Yuan pleaded, "Sister Youyou, I can only rely on you now."
Shi Yuan's plea snapped Shen Youyou back to reality from her contemplation. She signaled for Shi Yuan to calm down, while she herself needed to regain composure. Her father was in Haicheng and specifically came to find Fu Xiaoya. She absolutely couldn't let her father find Fu Xiaoya.
Shen Youyou pretended to be hesitant as she said, "Perhaps Holy View Entertainment has already finalized their decision on Fu Xiaoya. Even if my family has shares, it's difficult for me to intervene."
Shi Yuan was on the verge of kneeling down before Shen Youyou. "Sister Youyou, you are the best. There is no problem in this world that can stump you. Please, help me, okay?"
