There were so many life-threatening accidents that Su Min had gone through while she was pregnant, but that child refused to die. This was the first time Bing Shi and Xuan Mu had seen a child that wanted to live so much... even if said child hadn’t even been born yet.

Something in Xuan Mu had changed and Bing Shi couldn’t tell whether this change was good or bad. This man always thought about how nobody asked if he wanted to be born so he reached out to Bing Shi to talk about it a little; unfortunately, he almost immediately stopped talking when the baby almost killed Su Min.

Ah, she was getting off track... Anyway, why was everyone asking her and Xuan Mu to become their child’s godparents? It started off with Fu Lian’s little Shrimp and Bing Shi could bet ten sweet potatoes that Tianshies, Lyras and her twin sister turned them into their babies godparents before their graves. They weren’t interested in being godparents again.

Bing Shi picked up her phone because she felt a slight vibration in her pocket. It turns out that she had gotten a notification from her new manager.

Manager Ying: I’m participating in a reality show. Li Jie.

Silika Lin: Why don’t you find a backdoor for you know who instead?

.....

(Backdoor for the teacher Lu Kai.)

Manager Ying: I decided to waste my time instead of his.

Bing Shi’s mouth twitched. This...

Xuan Mu was very very displeased when he got to know that there appeared another man who wanted to get closer to his wife despite knowing that she was married... as if giving him no respect. Now, he regretted that he didn’t punch that musician at least once, no, twice.

Xuan Mu could see what Li Jie was attempting to do. Li Jie was trying to improve their relationship by annoying his wife with all the subtle courting. Man, Xuan Mu really didn’t need anyone’s help to feel jealous, he also didn’t need to do a thing to express his dissatisfaction. He was too old for such schemes and little tricks that were being played.

As long as one looked up to Bing Shi with respect, he had no reason to be unreasonable. But if his wife requested assistance with getting rid of someone, he would be sure to fulfil her wish in his own way. As long as she got the results she wanted in her wish, he was free to do whatever to make it come true, right?

Li Jie knocked at the door to the participant’s waiting room. He didn’t wait for a reply before he stepped inside the waiting room with an elegant composure. Primly, he returned the phone to Manager Ying with an air of satisfaction. His eyes immediately locked themselves on Bing Shi.

Li Jie really wasn’t pursuing her. But when she said it was time for both of them to follow their own ambitions and stop contacting each other, he thought he would lose the opportunity to be a part of her world forever.

The rumours where she rejected an eligible bachelor didn’t stray far from the truth. He stopped hiding the fact that he had quite a huge crush on her and he was very blunt in admitting that he didn’t care that his crush was unrequited. Him not caring about this, meant that he was very open about his one-sided interest in her in one of his interviews.

Li Jie always thought that she was somehow neglected by her husband... Lu Kai showed up on the movie set once, and then after that, he was always skipping each and every gathering that Silika attended. When did they even have time to meet each other? After work, she always went to her parent’s house...

Bing Shi looked at their reflection in the mirror, “Still being forced to get married?”

“My parents won’t stop nagging about you,” Li Jie sighed, glad that she started a conversation and didn’t try to avoid him.

“It’s not easy to go against our parents, is it?” Bing Shi apologized to the makeup artist and dialled Xuan Mu’s number, “Mm, it’s me. Could you tell Li Jie’s parents to stop bothering him to find a wife, please?” Telling the confused makeup artist to continue, she placed her phone aside and smiled at Li Jie with trembling lips, her voice uncertain, “Now, let’s pray my connections won’t go overboard.”

“...” Li Jie was at a loss for words, “It’s alright, you’ve already helped me enough.” Out of all the other, more pressing times where she could have called her husband, it was now that she decided to call?! Why?! Why would she go to such extremes for such a trivial thing? And! Right! In! Front! Of! Him! Too!

Look, he was totally chill about being rejected by Silika Lin but there was only so much humiliation he could handle but this was really... Li Jie pressed at his eyes with a heavy sigh. When he opened his eyes again, he watched as Silika walked out of the changing room with grace. Li Jie’s eyebrow twitched. Hey! He wasn’t finished talking!

“Is it hard to be her manager?” Li Jie asked his ex-manager that now belonged to Silika. Many would think that Silika was only using him for her benefits, after she was done using him, but the truth was... He was the one who benefited more in their relationship considering the fact that they were technically just allies. He couldn’t imagine what it would be like to be her friend... or more, a lover.

Manager Ying, a middle-aged looking man who seemed as though he were done with life, could only nod his head in answer to Li Jie’s question. Quietly, he would begin following Li Jie out of the changing room but he made sure to lock the room.

Manager Ying, once done with locking up, would report to Li Jie, “She only lets us see what she wants us to see. I don’t know why such a secretive person chose to become an actress... It’s hard to believe that she’s only nineteen. Whenever I’m with her it’s like she can see through my...”

“Soul,” Li Jie finished his sentence with a frown on his eyebrows. As he contemplated the enigma that was Silika Lin, he would look far off into the distance. Strange. Silika left only a few minutes ago and yet he could not see her at all. It was like she was a sprite.

Bing Shi followed a group of girls inside of a bus. Once inside, she noticed Aoi Hong. She decided to greet her, “Hi, can I sit here?”

“Ah, h-hi, yes!” Aoi Hong created a distance. She went through the files that she downloaded from Quin Yu’s phone, and what she saw shocked her. Silika Lin was that type of girl...

“Thank you,” shrugging off Aoi Hong’s strange gaze, Bing Shi sat down and listened to the instructor. They were about to draw out a paper with a number to one of the rich men’s villas. Observing other girls, she copied their nervous expressions and accepted the package. Opening it up, there was a maid costume, “...”

After everyone drew out a piece of paper, the bus would drop three girls at their destinations.

When Bing Shi compared Aoi Hong’s number to hers. She guessed that she was about to visit one of Quin Yu’s mansions, “...” Don’t tell her she was about to become a mafia’s maid?

Aoi Hong, who was used to Quin Yu’s luxurious properties, was thoroughly unfazed by this villa’s wealth.

Bing Shi and the other girls, on the other hand, would point at certain things and gasp at everything they saw. Everything was planned with current trends and modern aesthetics in mind.

Bing Shi visited many places from palaces that were hundreds of times bigger than this villa to five-meter square mud huts. She never ceased to be amazed by what she saw, regardless of the size of a building and what materials were used to make it. Beauty should be appreciated, no matter the building!
