Chapter 425: Chapter 425: A Spot Reserved Just for You...

"Yuke, you’re here, come over!" Director Chen called out warmly seeing her.

Mu Bailang lounged lazily on a carved wooden chair, curling his thin lips into a captivating smile as he appreciatively took in her expression.

This little girl wants to avoid him? She needs to see if he agrees first!

Fan YuKe felt slightly uncomfortable inside, tugged at the corner of her lips, and said with a smile, "Director, it looks like your side is almost full, I can sit at another table, you enjoy your meal."

Looking at Mu Bailang’s face, it easily hampers her eating speed!

Just as she was about to slip away, Mu Bailang, contrary to her wishes, raised an eyebrow and said, "Miss Fan, this spot was specially reserved by the director for you, the female lead!"

Director Chen, being a savvy person, immediately understood what Mu Bailang meant and quickly spoke up.

"Yuke, Young Master Mu is right! This seat was explicitly left for you, come over quickly..."

"..." Fan YuKe couldn’t refuse, so she had to grit her teeth and go over.

At the table, only Mu Bailang and one empty seat remained.

Crows practically flew overhead...

He’s being way too obvious!!

After sitting down, Fan YuKe felt uncomfortable as if on pins and needles, deliberately lowering her voice, she asked irritably, "This is our film crew’s wrap party, what did you come here for?"

"Why can’t I come to a crew I’m investing in? Besides..." Mu Bailang’s phoenix eyes hinted playfully, speaking in a volume only the two of them could hear, "As the party contractor, on what grounds are you blocking the principal’s calls?"

At his words, Fan YuKe was so infuriated that she widened her eyes and gnawed her teeth, desperate to bite this man to death!

"Have some decency! You were the one who said you wanted to reconsider continuing the contract!"

"Mmm, I’m the one who said it!" Mu Bailang’s smile grew even more mischievous, an expression leaving one fuming without reprisal, "But now I’ve considered it..."

Fan YuKe’s doll-like face darkened visibly.

The corners of her mouth twitched hard.

Just assuming she has no temper to be played with, huh?

"Well, sorry to say, you’ve thought it over, but I... have no interest in doing this part-time job anymore!"

Mu Bailang seemed to have anticipated that, his devilishly handsome face showing not a ripple, "Alright."

Fan YuKe paused, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.

This man, when did he become so agreeable...

It’s unbelievable.

Just as the thought surfaced, the next second, Mu Bailang’s voice continued, "Then remember to pay the penalty fee!"

"??" What penalty fee?

Fan YuKe was dumbfounded, was that in the contract?

As she was about to ask, Mu Bailang had already ignored her and was clinking drinks with the director and others.

Not giving her a chance to speak!!

Fan YuKe, "..."

He’s obviously doing this on purpose!

Such a dog...

Mu Bailang, seeing her puffed-up little face in anger, couldn’t help but deepen the curve of his lips.

Feeling quite pleased, he welcomed all the toasts.

Seeing this, Yao Yao also joined in eagerly.

She was an artist under Shengshi and the third female lead in this Xianxia drama!

The last time she was called into Mu Bailang’s office, she thought he fancied her and she was going to hit it big!

But to her surprise, Fan YuKe suddenly appeared, causing her to be kicked out.

This time she came prepared, determined not to lose again!

A sharp gleam flashed quickly in her eyes as she coyly said, "Young Master Mu, you’ve drunk to Director Chen, you can’t refuse mine!"

Mu Bailang absentmindedly agreed, his peripheral vision glancing towards Fan YuKe, intending to see her reaction.

But this heartless woman was already head-down eating, not caring one bit about what was happening on his side, huh, just came to eat, huh?

Mu Bailang felt a hint of displeasure, not noticing the smug smile on Yao Yao’s lips.

"Young Master Mu, such good drink tolerance, here, let me toast you again..." Yao Yao came over holding her glass.

Mu Bailang lost interest in her, "I’m going to the bathroom."

With those words, his tall body abruptly stood up and strode toward the restroom.

"Young Master Mu, Young Master Mu, you... leaving already?" She had spiked Mu Bailang’s drink earlier with a colorless, tasteless aphrodisiac she bought at great expense!

Timing wise, it hadn’t even taken effect yet!

"Young Master Mu, wait for me, I’ll accompany you..." Yao Yao put down her glass and sashayed after him; no matter what, tonight, she would become Mu Bailang’s woman!

Such moves by Yao Yao were nothing new in the entertainment circle, but Director Chen thought of Mu Bailang’s ’special care’ for Fan YuKe in the crew, lightly cough, "Yuke, Young Master Mu seems quite drunk, why don’t you go check if he’s alright?"

"Isn’t Lady Yao already going?" Fan YuKe said, lowering her head to enjoy the delicacies, her large eyes flickering, "Besides... are you sure if I go now, I wouldn’t ruin their moment?"

What a stallion! She’d rather not bother with him...

Director Chen’s mouth twitched, "Young Master Mu’s character isn’t that bad, trust me, he doesn’t fancy Yao Yao. If he did, he would have acted long ago, not waited until now! Yuke, seeing that Young Master Mu made substantial investments in this drama, if you don’t go and something happens..."

"Fine, I’ll go check." Unable to bear Director Chen’s nagging, Fan YuKe slurped down a mouthful of food, then lazily got up and walked out.

...

Mu Bailang, who often frequented nightlife venues, had naturally good alcohol tolerance.

Normally, drinking these wouldn’t bother him at all...

But today, for some reason, as soon as he got to the hallway towards the restroom, he inexplicably felt dizzy, with an unspeakable fiery heat coursing through his body.

Damn it! He’s been set up!!

’Click click click...’ Suddenly, the sound of high heels echoed behind him.

Immediately after, a sweet artificial fragrance approached, Yao Yao pretended to be concerned and held his arm, feigning sincerity, "Young Master Mu, I just saw you seemed unwell, so I followed. Are you okay? Is something wrong?"

Great, the drug’s effect is kicking in!!

Mu Bailang’s mind was hazy, his beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowing sharply with a chilly intent, "Was it you?!"

Yao Yao’s expression froze, obviously not expecting Mu Bailang to remain sober at this moment...

Feigning a look of surprise, she innocently said, "Young Master Mu, what are you saying? What did I do?"

"Stop playing such a crude trick in front of me!"

Mu Bailang’s devilishly handsome face showed sarcasm, his eyes reflecting a strong aversion, chuckling lightly, "Even if I’m drugged, I wouldn’t be desperate enough to... be interested in your sort!"

Yao Yao, humiliated, froze on the spot, her face looking awful.

Fan YuKe arrived just in time to see them entangled, with Yao Yao wearing a low-cut evening dress, her arms wrapped around his, her beauty rubbing against his arm...

And Mu Bailang wasn’t even pushing her away!

"..." Ha, the director said he wasn’t interested in Yao Yao; how is this not interested?

Her bright face was full of disdain.

Being the third wheel here felt unnecessary; she planned to head back.

But just then, Mu Bailang’s narrow eyes suddenly caught sight of Fan YuKe, frowning; his sexy lazy voice abruptly called out to her, "Stop!"
