The man was startled and immediately began to struggle violently, his tone cold and merciless, "What are you doing? Let go of me!"
The woman's haunting, murmuring voice came from behind him, subdued yet laced with defiance and fragility, "I won't let go! Not unless you promise me, let me become a star!"
"..." Gu Shiyuan couldn't help but laugh with scorn, "A star? You want to be a star? What makes you think someone like you could be a star?"
There was a silence behind him.
He thought she would not answer, but unexpectedly, she suddenly let go of him, turned around to face him, her stunning, enchanting face etched with eyes that were cold and resolute, staring straight at him.
Suddenly, to his surprise, the woman grabbed his hand fiercely, "Isn't the rule of the thumb in your circle to trade favors for success? I can do that too!"
"I'm not interested in those who throw themselves at me."
