She cocked a brow at him, seemingly surprised by his tact .

“What is it? Just ask away . ”
He pouted in hesitation . Drumming the tabletop with his fingers, he proceeded cautiously . “This may be a crass question, but I must get the whole picture of the situation, so please pardon my rudeness . ” He paused for a bit before opening his mouth again . “I’d like to know what’s up between you and master Mu . ”
She was startled . “Why did you ask that?”
“I can tell that he’s preferential toward you . ” He told her truthfully as he fingered his thumb ring .
It was very unusual, indeed .
At least, in his impression, that man was coldhearted .
Why did he have such an impression?

Back when Huanyu was just bought by Disheng, a few star agents put together a list of actresses to present to this powerful and influential CEO in hopes of getting into his good books and acquiring valuable resources for their charges .
Gifting women for the sake of fame and fortune was a common norm in this industry .
Whoever piqued his interest would naturally get better opportunities for her team .
In the end, the man merely threw the list aside after looking at it and was no longer brought up again .
There was never a woman beside him . He never associated himself with any of them despite those ladies flocking to his side .
He held the reins to this entertainment empire yet steered clear of intimate relationship with any actress .
Yun Shishi was the first and the only one .

He tried to know her status to this man before; alas, no one in the office had a clue .
They just knew that she was someone special .
In what way was she special? They could not tell .
She thought for a while . Albeit she could not tell where this question came from, she decided to come clean with him . “We are lovers . ”
He squinted his eyes . “I heard that you have a child?”
“How did you know that?” She was rather surprised .
“How can I make a living if I don’t know the background of the artistes under me?” He was mildly displeased with her comment, which he deemed as an insult . Rapping his knuckles on the tabletop, he pressed on . “Is the child his?”

She clenched her teeth . “Yes!”
“I heard that, seven years ago, a mysterious woman became a surrogate for the Mu family and that young master Yichen didn’t come from Mu Wanrou but through a bloodline surrogacy . ”
He paused and looked at her pensively after saying that .
She looked slightly embarrassed, though she had to sigh in awe inwardly .
The mouths of those who knew about this matter were sealed .
How did he find out?
She added with a sigh, “Actually, they’re twins . The older one was taken away upon birth, while the younger one wasn’t breathing at first but eventually managed to keep his life . My father had to use his connections to keep this from the Mu family . ”
The agent seemed to come to a realization . “You can very well marry into that elite family . Progeny is important to people like them, and you bore them two sons; those are valuable assets to them . ”
She was unfazed . “I don’t want . ”
“‘Don’t want’?” He was surprised to hear that . “Why not?”
She kept quiet .
He asked quizzically, “Pardon me for my directness . Being with such a powerful man, you can very well live a prosperous and carefree life; Why come into the entertainment industry still?”
