Chapter 430: Chapter 0429 Teasing (Third Update)_1
“`
No need for thanks,” he thought, about to speak the words out loud. But then Ye Xiong had a flash of inspiration, and the corner of his mouth revealed a hint of a smile.
In his life, the thing he liked the least were serious talks.
The attitude he liked the least was all solemn and serious.
He wanted to try what it felt like to tease a big star.
“Just a thank you?”
Ye Xiong’s mouth curled into a mischievous smile and said, “I just saved your life, protected your virtue. You’ve come all this distance, just to say thank you. Isn’t that a bit stingy?”
“How do you want me to thank you?”
Zhang Liyan had a bad feeling in her heart. How could this guy be so different from the hero she had met that day?
“Marry me,” he said brazenly.
Zhang Liyan’s mouth twitched. She remembered what Xiao Fangfang had said: once you take off Ying Nan’s mask, that guy is nothing but a scoundrel, nothing impressive.
He’s not just a scoundrel, he’s a downright pervert!
She was greatly disappointed.
“Talking about coming with sincerity to thank me, yet you can’t even commit yourself, what kind of sincerity is that.”
Ye Xiong shook his head and walked away with long strides.
Zhang Liyan had come to see him today in hopes of asking him to become her mentor because she wanted to develop her career towards becoming an action superstar. Now it seemed utterly impossible.
He was clearly a major lech. To take him as a mentor, wouldn’t she be devoured one day?
Disappointment, such disappointment!
As she stood there stunned, suddenly two men walked up, took out their phones, and snapped several photos of her.
“Zhang Liyan, may I take a photo with you?” one of the men shouted excitedly.
His words immediately drew the attention of the people around.
This was a market, and there were a lot of people shopping in the morning, not to mention some young folks. The moment they heard the name Zhang Liyan, they all crowded around in a rush.
“You’ve mistaken me for someone else,” she said.
Zhang Liyan was shocked. Without her bodyguards, if she was surrounded, it would be a big trouble.
Real fans, she wasn’t afraid of, but she was afraid of some shameless men pretending to be her fans. They might try to take advantage of the situation when she was encircled to grope her—this was what she, as a star, feared the most.
There was an actress who, when she went out, was mobbed by fans, and a fan took the chance to slip his hand under her skirt. It just so happened to be caught on camera, sparking massive outrage at the time and greatly damaging the actress’s reputation.
Therefore, Zhang Liyan immediately denied her identity.
But her figure was too similar to Zhang Liyan’s; even though her face was covered, a crowd was still gathering.
Suddenly, someone pulled down her face covering, revealing her true appearance, and the crowd exploded in excitement.
“Wow, it really is Zhang Liyan!”
“Hurry, get an autograph.”
“I want to take a photo with the star to show off in my circle of friends—that’d be so cool.”
“Me too.”
A throng of people surged around her like a tidal wave, blocking her in tightly.
It was already too late for Zhang Liyan to escape. With her strength, she could have pushed her way through the fans in front of her, but doing so would have hurt them. The headlines in tomorrow’s papers might well read: “Jade Girl Star Zhang Liyan roughly pushes away fans, she’s actually a violent thug.”
“Zhang Liyan, give me an autograph.”
“Zhang Liyan, can I take a photo with you?”
“Zhang Liyan, I heard that in ‘Path of Righteousness,’ you cameo as a very important character, is that true?”
The crowd was in chaos, with ten to twenty fans surrounding her, screaming madly.
In Huaxia Country, there’s no lack of people who love a spectacle. Thinking there was a special promotion at the shopping center, even more people crowded in.
At that moment, Zhang Liyan suddenly felt someone touch her waist; someone was actually making a lewd move on her.
The thing she feared the most had happened. In an instant, she felt an overwhelming sense of collapse.
Just then, a gunshot rang out unexpectedly, followed by continuous shots. It seemed like a gunfight was happening in the shopping center.
Pop…pop, pop…pop, pop, pop!
“Murder, it’s a murder,” cried out a voice.
“`
Rustle.
The crowd previously surrounding Zhang Liyan had vanished without a trace, all of them terrified of being hit by a stray bullet and becoming innocent victims.
Celebrity status is important, but one’s own life is even more so.
Zhang Liyan hadn’t even reacted when suddenly a hand grabbed hers and started pulling her out.
“Let go…”
“If you don’t want to be surrounded, let’s move quickly,” Ye Xiong said.
Only then did Zhang Liyan realize it was him. Without making a fuss, she followed behind him and ran towards the exit.
After running several hundred meters out of the shopping mall and seeing no one pursuing them, Zhang Liyan finally relaxed.
“I had always thought being a celebrity was all about glamor, but I never expected it to be so tough, sneaking around a shopping mall as if I were a thief,” Ye Xiong sighed.
It was a good thing he wasn’t from the entertainment industry. Otherwise, with his unrestrained character, he would have felt suffocated to death.
“If it weren’t for the unexpected event at the mall, I definitely couldn’t have escaped today,” Zhang Liyan said, then suddenly sounded worried, “How could there be a gunfight in the mall? Could someone have gotten hurt?”
“The gunfight was fake?”
“Fake?” Zhang Liyan was taken aback.
Ye Xiong covered his mouth with his hand, and a succession of gunfire sounds came from his mouth, the noise exactly mimicking the real thing.
Zhang Liyan was stunned. If she hadn’t heard it with her own ears, she almost wouldn’t believe it.
How did this guy do it?
Zhang Liyan reached out to pull away Ye Xiong’s hand covering his mouth, wanting to see how he made the sounds of gunfire with his mouth, but unfortunately, Ye Xiong stopped immediately.
“Try making that sound again.”
“I won’t do it.”
Ye Xiong shook his head, “While performing vocal tricks, my mouth looks too ugly. It seriously affects my handsome image, so this kind of thing can only be done in secret.”
Pff!
Zhang Liyan couldn’t help but laugh, her beauty captivating.
Upon closer interaction, she realized this guy was quite interesting. Not only did he have talent, but he was also humorous. It would probably be quite nice to be his friend.
“Big star, I’ve saved you once again. How do you plan to thank me?” Ye Xiong asked with a smile.
“What do you want this time?” Zhang Liyan asked guardedly.
“You wouldn’t agree to marry me, so how about a kiss instead!”
He had never been kissed by a female star before; what would it feel like?
“No, can’t we agree on something else?”
“You wouldn’t marry me, and you wouldn’t kiss me. Besides those two things, I’m not really interested in anything else!” Ye Xiong said, seemingly troubled.
Zhang Liyan’s face darkened. Was he implying that aside from her body, he had no interest in her whatsoever?
Ye Xiong thought it over, and finally conceded a bit, “Then just call me ‘Hubby’.”
“Not happening.”
“Then say ‘My Lord’.”
Zhang Liyan rolled her eyes.
“My dear.”
“This won’t do, that won’t do,” Ye Xiong was quite disappointed and finally said, “Then just call me ‘Handsome’. That should be okay, right?”
“That might be possible, but I have a condition,” she said.
“What condition?”
Ye Xiong instinctively backed away a few steps and eyed her warily, “Let me make it clear upfront, I’m not selling my body.”
The corners of Zhang Liyan’s mouth twitched rhythmically.
This guy… could he be any more shameless? As if she would fancy his body?
“I want to be your apprentice,” she finally said with difficulty.
She didn’t know whether she would regret this decision.
What do you think?
