Chapter 43
(Unedited)
…
In the parking space of the area where the current filming is happening, a dark tinted vehicle is currently parked among the few vehicles in the area.
Looking at the window of the vehicle is a handsome young man wearing silver-rimmed spectacles. He could see the many trees in the area and the ancient ambiance that the location gives off is truly calming his heart.
However, deep inside him, he is still worried.
Ever since last night when he saw his wife in trouble, Yu Bai has been constantly thinking of Ma Mian. He could not feel at ease and is often worried. Though he has sent some of his most trusted men to monitor her from afar, he still could not feel at ease.
So after work, he immediately ran to this place and waited for his wife to leave the filming site. He was informed that Ma Mian did not leave the area yet and is currently inside, so he waited.
Then suddenly he saw her approaching a tall and handsome mature man along with the woman he saved last night. He remembers, according to his men, that the woman's name is Yu Qi.
From where he is seated, he could clearly see the three of them. It seems that Ma Mian is just standing beside Yu Qi and is acting like that woman's bodyguard. He could tell that his wife is a bit on guard about anything.
Then suddenly, he noticed a mature yet beautiful woman walking towards the three of them while holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand.
Upon seeing the flowers, Yu Bai suddenly remembers that he has not given his wife any flowers ever since they first met. The only time that he gave his wife some flowers is when they got married, and that flower was for her just to hold.
"No… I must at least give Ma Mian some flowers…" Yu Bai thought as he picks up his phone and dialed a number.
After talking to the person on the other end of the line, he returns his gaze at Ma Mian.
He noticed the woman approaching the three of them and Yu Bai suddenly frowns.
…
Tang Arjin is showing a slight sneer on her face as she walks near the three people.
"It seems that the two of you are already close…" she said with a faint smile on her face while holding the flowers.
"Yes… I actually was a friend of her father's from one of my businesses. It's nice seeing that Qi'er is already this big and beautiful…" Jin Da Lin said while showing a gentle smile on his face.
Upon seeing this, the expression on Tang Arjin's face changed. She didn't know why but she did not want Jin Da Lin to show this kind of expression towards Yu Qi. For Tang Arjin, Yu Qi is a nobody, and she is going to use her to get to her goal. But seeing the man who is wooing her show such expression to other girls made her want to scream.
It was like the man she last dated, the man who told her that she is the only woman that he loves. His innocent gentle smile towards a 'younger' girl made her feel that the man is truly a kind person.
But when she saw that man on top of that 'younger' girl, she realized that she was too naïve. And right now, the same thing is happening again, the same situation, the same gentle smile, the same hypocrisy.
Tang Arjin glared at Yu Qi who is showing a happy expression on her face. When Yu Qi saw the glaring eyes of Tang Arjin, her expression suddenly changes. Her face turned pale and immediately changed into someone who is scared.
Tang Arjin suddenly lifted the bouquet and suddenly smashed it towards Yu Qi without warning.
Ma Mian was a bit surprised but she has already anticipated this. So she suddenly lifted her hand and catches the hand of Tang Arjin holding the bouquet of flowers.
Everyone was stunned at this development. Those onlookers have now started to record this scene while watching on the side.
The quick movement of that simple-looking woman on the side made everyone dumbfounded.
"Where did she come from?"
"How did she do that?"
"How did she suddenly appear in that place?"
Many people who are watching that scene seem to have not realized Ma Mian's presence.
But now they do.
Feeling that she was humiliated and shamed, Tang Arjin suddenly lifted her other hand and suddenly slaps Ma Mian.
Slap!
A loud sound echoed through the air as Ma Mian's shifted her face to the side. The slap of Tang Arjin is no joke.
She almost feels her head spinning by that force and her cheek is burning.
The truth is that she already saw it coming. She could actually dodge it or catch it, but she decided against it. She knew that it would escalate further if she stops Tang Arjin and because of that, this woman would hold a grudge towards her.
She did not want that grudge; she did not want that kind of attention.
The surroundings turned silent, as everything seems to have stopped. Tang Arjin seemed to have recovered from her rage and realized what she just did.
Yu Qi on the side immediately run towards Ma Mian and held her while trying to check if she was fine with a worried expression.
Yu Qi did not expect this to happen and was thoroughly caught off-guard.
"I… I… I didn't… I… I did not mean to…" Tang Arjin showed panic in her expression.
She seems to have realized her mistake, but could not get over her pride to say sorry. What surprised everyone is Jin Da Lin. He walked beside Tang Arjin and held her hand.
"It's okay… I'm sorry if I did something wrong…" he said while trying to appease the worried expression of Tang Arjin.
Yu Qi on the side feels that her Uncle Jin Da Lin has truly been blinded by love. Her mind is saying, "A man in love… is truly blind…"
The awkward silence made the four people did not know what to do next.
Suddenly a tall young man wearing a silver spectacle walks towards the group. His cold gaze could be felt by the people around him, and the intense gaze he is showing while looking at Tang Arjin sent chills running down her spine.
In her long experience in the entertainment world, she knew that the person before them is not someone to be trifled with.
Before the young man could walk near Tang Arjin, Jin Da Lin steps forward to block his path.
