Chapter 62: Li Yichen’s Disappointment
The lighting in the underground carpark was dim . She could not see Li Yichen’s face properly, and yet, she could feel a massive wave of resolute aura from this man . It was so powerful that she found it hard to breathe around him .

She could not help but feel really uneasy around him .
Sure, Su Tiantian was an aggravatingly vexatious bitch . However, Li Yichen was a decent responsible man—that was why she had had a change of heart and had blurted out her advice earlier .
Yet… Li Yichen was just standing there, not saying a word . Could it be that he thought she was just trying to sabotage his business?
After all, “The Seductress” was too popular to let go of .
Realizing that she was stepping out of line, Ning Meng pouted, “It’s nothing . Forget what I said . ”
Then, she turned away and left .
As she was leaving, Li Yichen stared at her fading silhouette at the lift .

He knew who that woman was . That was Ning Meng—Huo Beichen’s wife . The person who had stolen “Shifting to Mars” away from him .
The reason he had been trying to buy the filming rights of “Shifting to Mars” was not about making money . No . That twenty million yuan was him showing his support to the local filming industries—to help to develop and promote the local sci-fi films .
Nonetheless, he was not as badass as this woman . She had practically tossed in every single penny under her name into this film .
Shaking his head, Li Yichen took the lift and went up .
In the meeting room, the contract was already drafted, waiting to be signed . Li Yichen stared at the contract with a deep thoughtful look . Su Tiantian was sitting next to him with a smile . Seeing that her fiance was not signing the papers, she shook his arm eagerly, “Brother Chen?”
Li Yichen bit his lip briefly as he raised his sword-like eyebrows, staring at the others with his star-like eyes . Then, he put down the pen .
“Sorry . ”
Su Tiantian’s face turned sour upon hearing this . She had asked Li Yichen’s bodyguards about his wellbeing earlier, and so, she knew that this was about what Ning Meng had told him . It had made him soft and indecisive .

“Brother Chen, don’t listen to Ning Meng . She’s just trying to deceive you so that I can’t get this role . Don’t listen to her…”
Li Yichen stood up and left without allowing her to finish .
Sitting there in the meeting room powerlessly, Su Tiantian ground her teeth as she thought to herself .
‘Ning Meng!! It’s not over yet!!”
Two days later .
Su Tiantian barged into Li Yichen’s office . She put on her pouty sobbing face and whined, “Someone has already acquired the filming rights of ‘The Seductress’ with eighty-five million yuan . The production has already begun as we speak!”

Hearing this, Li Yichen raised his head and looked at his fiancee . There was some uncertainty lingering in his mind, tormenting him .
Seeing her fiance’s conflicted look, Su Tiantian clenched her fist and said, “You see? I told you so . This woman was just trying to sabotage everything I do . You should’ve never listened to that bitch . She’s doing this on purpose…”
“No . I was not decisive enough . ” Li Yichen frowned .
Business was war . Every trick in the book was a fair game . There was no use in blaming your enemy for being cunning—you could only blame yourself for being a coward . To Li Yichen, failure was a failure . There was no excuse for it .
Yet, that woman… he was sure that there was not a lick of malice displayed in her eyes that day . It was a piece of sincere advice . How could this be?
He then looked down and continued the work on his desk, “Besides, we have acquired another TV drama . You can still star in that one . ”
Su Tiantian replied with a cold smirk, “That shitty TV drama? It’s not popular at all . In fact, its popularity was not even half of ‘The Seductress’!”
She paused for a moment before continuing, “Today, the director of ‘The Seductress’ contacted me . ”
Hearing this, Li Yichen raised his head and looked at her again .
So, she meant…
Su Tiantian let out a sigh before explaining, “Brother Chen, I have told the fans and media that I’m about to star in ‘The Seductress’ . If I don’t do it, it would be betraying my fans . Surely you understand that, right? You won’t be mad at me, will you?”
Despite being engaged, their relationship was still an underground thing . Su Tiantian thought it was alright for her to act a little flirty, however, she failed to catch the disappointment flickering in Li Yichen’s eyes .
‘If only… on that day I had not listened to that woman…’
Suddenly, a loud knock could be heard on his door . At the next moment, his personal assistant walked in with a delighted expression on his face .
“Mr . Li, have you heard? It’s everywhere on the news! Oh, I’m so glad we did not acquire ‘The Seductress’ that day…”
