Stand-in Exit, Tycoon Boss Anxious Crazy

Xiang-Nuan felt a wrenching pain in her heart as he judged her from his lofty position, intent on pinning her to that pillar of shame forever.

"What exactly does President Shen want?"

Shen Yanshi looked at her with cold eyes: "What do you think?"

Xiang-Nuan pressed her lips together, saying nothing.

He pulled a cigarette from the pack, "Xiang-Nuan, there's a limit to making a fuss. I don't have endless patience."

She forced a smile, realizing that what she thought was a definitive end to their relationship was, in his eyes, merely a pet's antics to gain attention.

Did it even mean anything?

Zheng Xuanlin was right; in the relationship between her and Shen Yanshi, he was the only one who could declare an end.

He could easily become the biggest investor in "Strategist," and the entire cast and crew had to revere him like a living Buddha. Even a proud director like Lee-Zheng had to toast him respectfully, let alone her?

"When are you moving back?" he asked, noticing her pale face, his tone slightly softer.

She felt a lump in her throat, "I'll be shooting 'Strategist' for half a year, I was thinking of staying with the crew..."

His dark eyes bore into her, an oppressive force weighing on her heart.

She lowered her head, "I'll move tomorrow."

His phone rang on the desk, the caller ID showing "Gong-Nian."

He answered, "What's up?"

"Where are you?"

"Hold on, I'll come get you."

He hung up, tossing aside the unlit cigarette, "I'll have Lin-Zhen take you back."

"No need, my assistant is waiting outside for me."

He nodded, grabbed his coat from the chair, and hurried out.

Xiang-Nuan stepped out of the private room to find Amy anxiously waiting.

"Nuan-jie, how come President Shen is here too? Did he invest in this drama as well?"

Xiang-Nuan let out a heavy sigh, "Help me move back to Nanchun Bay Community tomorrow."

"Ah? This..."

Amy didn't ask further; she had an inkling of the outcome when she found out Shen Yanshi was the investor in "Strategist."

"This means President Shen still cares about you; otherwise, why would he go to such lengths?" Amy tried to comfort her, seeing her distressed look.

"Really? He's probably more concerned about a pet daring to leave on its own, abandoning his possessions." Xiang-Nuan spoke indifferently.

How could such a high and mighty person care about a pet?

The only person who could truly capture his attention was probably Gong-Nian.

Amy pursed her lips, struggling to speak, feeling uncomfortable.@@novelbin@@

She had been with Xiang-Nuan for two years and understood her difficulties very clearly but was unable to help her.

"Let's go."

Xiang-Nuan didn't think Shen Yanshi could maintain interest in her for long. She heard that Shen Yanshi was now helping Gong-Nian with her divorce case. Once Gong-Nian was truly divorced, could Shen Yanshi still tolerate her?

Even Gong-Nian couldn't bear it.

—

When Shen Yanshi drove over, Gong-Nian was curled up in her room, crying.

Seeing him arrive, she rushed over barefoot and hugged him, sobbing, "Yanshi, Wei Chengze just called me. He threatened me, saying if I dare to continue with this divorce case, he'll make me suffer. He swore he wouldn't let me off."

"Did you record it?"

Gong-Nian nodded through her sobs, "I did."

"Give it to Lawyer Zhang tomorrow; it's evidence, nothing to be afraid of."

But she clung to his shirt, trembling with fear, "Yanshi, I'm scared. I can't be alone. Every time I close my eyes, I have nightmares. Will you stay with me?"
