She had been used to this kind of aloofness and isolation for half a month after she had joined the Legend of Mir 2.
Ever since her marriage to a rich family was exposed, those who thought they were close to her left her one by one. They didn't want to be associated with her. Some even posted on the same day to disassociate themselves from her.
She felt sad once. It was enough that she was hurt once. She wouldn't keep those who wanted to leave.
She had no intention of arguing with anyone else in this complicated and chaotic circle, and she did not want to be on bad terms with anyone either. Even if they had never worked together before, they would smile and nod at each other.
Her idea was very simple, but it was so simple that it was difficult to realize.
The gossip on the internet was not the truth, but there were still people who were suspicious and curious about it.
Curiosity was a person's nature. It could make him feel uneasy and comfort his heart that was full of holes.
The spacious hotel lobby was filled with people.
Tang Wanwan was like a person from another world. She watched everything with a smile on her face. The lively scene seemed to have nothing to do with her. With her back against the bone-piercing cold marble pillar, her eyes narrowed slightly. She did not go forward to talk, nor did she refuse others from looking for her.
Yan Qing had been paying attention to Tang Wanwan's every move ever since she saw her. When she saw her standing there alone, with no one to talk to her, she felt an indescribable sense of relief.
Shen Lyi, that handsome, elegant man, was actually the legendary mysterious and low-key Young Master Shen.
When she was in Kyoto, she had often heard people talking about him, and based on their descriptions, she kept picturing him in her mind, and at the same time, she imagined that she would be able to see him again, even if she were to remain single for a few years.
She remembered the first time she met Young Master Shen, when he was still filming the first film of Like You. At that time, he had come to visit her on set as Tang Wanwan's personal assistant. When she saw him, she fell in love with him and thought about him for a long time. Knowing that he was on good terms with Tang Wanwan, she went to ask her about it and found out that he was already married.
No one knew how cold her heart had been when she heard that he was married.
She finally found someone she liked, but he was already married. At one point, she thought that Tang Wanwan was lying to her. She had to confirm it with her over and over again before she reluctantly accepted it. However, a few months ago, a series of photos had been published online. The protagonists were Shen Lyi and Tang Wanwan. She had seen him before and was familiar with Tang Wanwan, so she recognized them at a glance, even though they were standing under the dim and unknown light.
She didn't know who was targeting Tang Wanwan. Knowing the details, she didn't try to clarify things for Tang Wanwan. She just watched from the side and let the situation develop. She did not know what kind of mentality she had. Perhaps it was jealousy, or perhaps it was revenge. She felt very good when she saw all kinds of insults and slanders directed at her on the Internet.
Seeing her today, he was no longer as warm to her as before. The way he greeted her was full of coldness and sarcasm.
Tang Wanwan felt someone staring at her. Her gaze was cold. When she raised her eyebrows to look, Yan Qing just happened to turn her head away. The emotion in her eyes had not yet faded.
Tang Wanwan looked at her but did not react. She lowered her head again and isolated herself from the outside.
Although she was used to being cold and isolated, her heart, which was bleeding hot blood, still felt pain.
When everyone was present, the group set off for the hotel restaurant in a grandiose manner.
Tang Wanwan led Ms Ling and the others to the middle of the line. They went up to the second floor and sat around the round table. Since no one wanted to talk to her, Tang Wanwan, who was bored, took out her phone and texted Shen Lyi.
"Mr. Shen, I miss you so much." Tang Wanwan, who had been treated coldly, missed Shen Lyi's warmth very much at this moment.
"I know," Shen Lyi quickly replied.
"I've already seen it. Mrs Shen doesn't need to care about it, and don't feel any burden in your heart. Trust me, it will be dealt with very quickly." Tang Wanwan was just about to reply when she received another message. She clicked on it and saw Shen Lyi's comforting words. Her gloomy heart instantly cleared up and a smile appeared on her face. "Mr. Shen, don't worry. I know. I just missed you."
"How much do you want to know?" Shen Lyi put down his pen and leaned back in his chair, turning it. He held his phone, his cold face full of love and tenderness as he replied.
"I really, really, really want to know," Tang Wanwan replied.
"Yes, I understand." Tang Wanwan frowned and pursed her lips when she saw Shen Lyi's reply. It was obvious that she was dissatisfied with his answer.
"That's it? That's it?"
"What does Mrs Shen want?" Shen Lyi asked.
"I want you. Are you going to give it to me?" Tang Wanwan replied angrily. Only then did she realize that her words were a little ridiculous. Her face was flushed as she looked at her phone. She imagined how pleased Shen Lyi would be when he saw this message.
Just as Tang Wanwan had expected, when Shen Lyi saw the message, the smile on his face grew wider and wider, and the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears.
After staring at the message for a long time, Shen Lyi finally replied.
"As you wish, I have already taken a pose. I am just waiting for Mrs Shen to come back and ravage me." He sent an evil smile emoji.
... "" Tang Wanwan stared at her phone in silence for a long time, not knowing how to reply.
Ms Ling, who was sitting at the side, looked at Tang Wanwan, who had lowered her head in embarrassment. Black lines ran down her face.
"Cough, cough!" Ms Ling raised her head and glanced at the other people at the same table. She held her throat and coughed.
Tang Wanwan, who had lowered her head and her face was flushed red, raised her head and looked at Ms Ling in confusion.
Then, as if he had remembered something, he sat up straight and looked at the strangers at the table. He took a deep breath calmly, lowered his head slightly, and continued to text and chat with Shen Lyi: "Mr. Shen, have you eaten?"
"Zheng Yu still hasn't brought the food over." He had been busy working until now, and only now did he take a break when he saw the message she had sent.
"I'm not hungry yet either. I'm so hungry," Tang Wanwan replied. She subconsciously touched her stomach and pursed her red lips. She looked a little wronged.
Today, in order to catch a plane, they didn't even have time to eat breakfast. They took the plane and arrived in City Z. Then, they rushed to a hotel not far from the venue of the press conference.
"Where are you now?" Shen Lyi asked with a cold expression.
"In City Z! Didn't you say that you already know?" Tang Wanwan replied in surprise and dissatisfaction. In the end, she even sent a speechless emoji.
Shen Lyi looked at his phone and quickly replied, "I know that you are in City Z. I want to know your current exact location."
When Tang Wanwan received the message, she did not feel awkward at all.
"In the Modern Hotel, wait for the dishes to be served."
Someone knocked on the door to Shen Lyi's office. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Please come in." When Zheng Yu heard the sound, he took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
"Your food." Zheng Yu placed the food he had bought on the desk. He glanced at the phone Shen Lyi was holding out of the corner of his eye. He quickly lowered his eyes and turned to leave.
Today, because of the traffic jam, he had arrived nearly half an hour late with his meal, expecting to be scolded, but his face was calm and impassive, and the only person who could stop him from working and not let out the cold air was the President's wife, whom he assumed was talking to the President's wife.
After he left the Chief Madam, he looked back at the closed door and let out a long breath.
He was glad that he had escaped the disaster.
"Our dishes are already being served," Tang Wanwan announced.
"Okay," Shen Lyi replied. He had no intention of eating the food on the table.
