Outside the lounge door, the noise was overwhelming. Looking at the two young security guards drenched in cold sweat, Guo Chenyang let out a cold snort. Just because he couldn’t get the better of Xiao Yufan didn’t mean he couldn’t assert himself in front of these two lowly guards…
“You mutts guarding the gate actually dare block my way! Do you want to see tomorrow’s sun or not? Get lost, now!”
Guo Chenyang was already in a foul mood, and this only made him angrier. These two guards were exactly the type who refused the cup of mercy and opted for the punishment. The only reason he hadn’t barged in already was because he didn’t want to ruin his image in Lin Jiayao’s eyes.
“Brother Guo, your words are indeed as swift as your reputation. However, causing a scene right outside the lounge doesn’t seem like something someone of your status would do!”
Just as the two guards were caught between a rock and a hard place, a light and graceful voice floated from behind them. Slowly, the lounge door opened, revealing a breathtaking beauty that momentarily dazzled everyone present.
Guo Chenyang swallowed hard. Seeing Lin Jiayao’s near-perfect face up close, even he—who had been with countless women—was momentarily stunned. Her peerless beauty and elegance stirred something deep within him.
“Jiayao, you’re absolutely right. I was just too eager to see you and let my words run wild. I hope you can forgive my rudeness…”
Guo quickly masked his astonishment and switched to a different demeanor—one so sudden it was almost startling. He failed to notice, however, the flicker of disdain in Lin Jiayao’s eyes when she heard his words.
“There’s no need to ask for forgiveness, Brother Guo. After all, you are a man of status. I’m just curious—now that the concert is over, why are you still lingering here?”
“I only came to tell you one thing: that pretty boy, no, that VIP guest, already has a lover by his side. I think a man who plays around with women isn’t worthy of you, Miss Lin…”
His gaze fixed on Lin Jiayao’s delicate face, Guo was disappointed to find that her expression remained unchanged. She clearly didn’t care about what he had just said.
“If you came here for that, then I’m afraid you’ve wasted your time. That man is mine, and his worth isn’t for outsiders to judge. And frankly, do you even have the right to accuse others of being unfaithful?”
A charming smile curled Jiayao’s lips as her words dripped with subtle mockery, effectively silencing Guo. If she had truly let go of that man, why would she care if he had other women around him?
“Miss Lin, don’t you think this will disappoint many people? Though you stand on a pedestal now, if this scandal were exposed, you might fall from grace in an instant…”
“There’s no need to worry about me, Brother Guo. If you have nothing else to say, I suggest you leave. Yufan, please see Brother Guo out.”
Jiayao understood exactly what Guo was trying to do, but did she really think such a veiled threat would work on her? The answer was clearly no. Everyone knew that Jiayao had climbed to where she was not just because of her looks.
“In that case, I suppose I was just being overly concerned. I do hope this doesn’t affect you negatively. That would truly be a shame…”
Guo chuckled dryly, his eyes narrowing into slits, his expression unreadable. But Jiayao knew better—this man was definitely plotting something.
She had never been the least bit interested in the second son of the Guo family. If it weren’t for the potential repercussions on the entire Guo family, Jiayao could have easily dealt with him on her own. After all, she had the full backing of the Lin family.
As Jiayao turned and walked back into the lounge, Guo’s expression darkened instantly. His fists clenched tightly. The humiliation he had suffered today had built up to a breaking point.
“Boss Guo, what should we do next? Since Miss Lin isn’t showing any signs of giving in, shall we…”
Seeing Guo’s frustration, Zhou Lin secretly rejoiced. The more enraged the young master of the Guo family became, the better it served his own purposes. After all, when the clam and the sandpiper fight, the fisherman profits.
“Proceed as you suggested. I refuse to believe a woman from the entertainment industry can make much of a wave. This time, I’ll make her understand the cost of rejecting my affection…”
A chilling aura flickered across Guo’s face. Zhou Lin shivered involuntarily, but his smile only widened. He was very much looking forward to what came next. After all, through the method of creating scandals, he had successfully seduced countless women.
“Don’t worry, Boss Guo. Give me just one more day, and I guarantee Miss Lin will willingly become yours. Then, you can do whatever you please with her!”
Zhou Lin’s grin was lewd and repulsive. Even Guo Chenyang’s bodyguards looked at him with disdain, considering him no better than a shameless dog—an untrustworthy one at that.
Meanwhile, back inside the lounge, Lin Jiayao was visibly angry. Normally, she wouldn’t even bother with such people, but if this fool really dared to harm her, Jiayao would make him pay dearly.
Never underestimate a woman’s power, especially one who stands on a pedestal. Jiayao’s influence was second to none. The fanaticism of her fans alone was enough to prove her strength.
“Jiayao, do you think the second son of the Guo family might try something against you? Remember, Zhou Lin is still by his side. That man has always had ulterior motives toward you and still holds a grudge over what happened before. You must be careful!”
“If they dare make any moves, I’ll make sure they regret it. Although the Guo family is powerful, the second son of a family still doesn’t have the capital to challenge me openly…”
Jiayao appeared calm, but the older woman beside her knew better—Jiayao was most dangerous when she was the calmest. She almost felt sorry for the young master of the Guo family. Of all people, he had chosen to provoke the daughter of the Lin family…
“I’m also worried they might target your lover. After all, you publicly declared him to be the one you’ve been waiting for, in front of so many people. That kind of exposure could have serious consequences. After all, our Jiayao’s influence is no small matter these days!”
The older woman shook her head with a smile, knowing her concern was probably unnecessary. Even if Guo Chenyang did try to harm Jiayao, she was more than capable of handling it. In fact, she was more worried about Xiao Yufan, because she still didn’t know the true extent of his strength.
“Anyone who dares harm my man will bring ruin upon the entire Guo family…” Jiayao said with a chilling smile, her fierce confidence revealing a beauty that even Xiao Yufan had never seen before.
