Chapter 127: Only I Can Kiss You

Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Only I Can Kiss You

Xinan knew, he definitely hadn’t just given a few minor suggestions, there must have been some other interest transactions involved.

Otherwise, given Director Zhang Wenrui’s personality, how could he possibly agree to change the script, and even if he did want to change it, Li Hongya would definitely not agree.

Xinan glanced at the script again and noticed that the storyline had indeed become smoother and more logical after the changes.

Cheng Yi tilted his head to look at her, his tone playful, "Sorry... I couldn’t let you kiss anyone else."

Xinan glared at him, "If I had really kissed, some people wouldn’t know where to hide and cry."

"So I can’t possibly let you kiss anyone else, the only person who can kiss you is me," his tone was very domineering.

"You..." Xinan was so blocked by him that she couldn’t speak for a long time and could only stare at him, "I don’t want to talk to you anymore."

Cheng Yi immediately eased up, "I was just kidding, I was wrong."

Xinan huffed.

Just then, Cheng Yi’s phone suddenly rang, he pulled it out from his coat without looking at the screen, and disconnected the call, then continued to coax Xinan, "Alright, how about I take you to dinner later? Consider it my way of apologizing."

Xinan glanced at her phone in her hand, "Aren’t you going to answer the call?"

"The call is not as important as you."

"I’ve noticed that recently..."

Cheng Yi asked, "Noticed what about me?"

"You’ve really become more down-to-earth."

Cheng Yi: "..."

Down-to-earth? Cheng Yi had never imagined that one day this word would apply to him.

Cheng Yi narrowed his eyes, "Nannan, I’ve noticed you’ve gotten bolder recently, now you even dare to talk to me like this."

As Cheng Yi spoke, he reached out to pinch Xinan’s nose, but she deftly dodged.

Xinan said nonchalantly, "That’s because you spoil me."

Cheng Yi smiled, his expression very pleased, "Yes, yes, that’s all because I spoil you."

His voice suddenly lowered, "So... will you still let me make it up to you?"

Without thinking, Xinan said, "Yes, of course."

Freebies, how could she not take them? She didn’t just want to go to a meal, but to the best one, and give Cheng Yi a hefty bill, even though that small amount of money meant nothing to him.

Cheng Yi said, "Okay."

"I’m going to shoot my scenes now."

"Alright."

As Xinan walked away, Cheng Yi’s smile slowly faded, replaced by depth and seriousness.

He glanced at his phone, then walked out of the set and dialed back the call.

"Mr. Yi, the task has been accomplished," Ye Rui’s voice came through the handset.

Cheng Yi responded indifferently with a "Hmm," then asked, "Is the person still alive?"

"Alive. Mrs. Zhang sent her to her own private hospital, and she has just woken up."

"It seems Mrs. Zhang is still not ruthless enough..." Cheng Yi scoffed.

"Do you need me to go..."

"No need, I still need something she has," Cheng Yi cut him off.

"Can she talk now?" Cheng Yi asked.

"Yes, Mrs. Zhang’s bodyguards were very cautious, they all hit non-fatal areas, she should be able to leave the hospital in a few days."

"You come with me to the hospital tomorrow," Cheng Yi instructed.

"Alright," Ye Rui replied.

Cheng Yi then hung up the phone and lifted his head, his gaze turning towards the azure sky.

The weather was clear and cloudless, a wash of brilliant blue.

When Lin Wei opened her eyes, there was no one beside her, and her throat felt as though it had been scrubbed with sandpaper, the pain nearly unbearable.

Struggling, she sat up and looked around the empty hospital room. The curtains were tightly shut, with only a faint light filtering in.

She didn’t know how long she had slept, but her body began to violently shake at the thought of that night.

Lin Wei gave a self-deprecating chuckle, guessing that perhaps if she died there, no one would even notice...

She shook her head, intending to get out of bed to pour herself a glass of water, but the moment she lifted the covers, the door suddenly opened, and a familiar figure walked in.

Seeing Cheng Yi’s handsome, otherworldly face, Lin Wei was taken aback. How could he be here? Could he be here to see her?

A warmth suddenly filled Lin Wei’s heart. Even though her throat was extremely dry, she obediently called out, "Mr. Yi."

Cheng Yi gave her a brief glance and pulled a chair over to sit down beside her. His eyes held an undisguised loathing as he asked, "Awake?"

Lin Wei met Cheng Yi’s gaze and subconsciously shrank back slightly. "Yes, I just woke up."

Cheng Yi didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, "Now that you’re awake, it’s time for us to settle the score."

Hearing this, Lin Wei’s complexion turned incredibly pale, and she shook her head. "I... I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"Still pretending?" Cheng Yi curved his lips in a cold smile. "It seems the lesson from that night wasn’t severe enough..."

Lin Wei looked incredulously at Cheng Yi, shock filling her eyes. How did he know? Could this have something to do with him?

At that moment, Lin Wei found the man before her immensely terrifying.

Cheng Yi’s expression grew even darker as he walked closer, looking down at Lin Wei from above, "Need me to remind you?"

He paused, then added, "Mrs. Zhang might be lenient, but I am not."

As he spoke, he pulled out his phone and turned its volume to maximum.

When Lin Wei heard those sounds, her body jolted violently, her lips trembling, "You... you installed cameras in the hotel?"

Lin Wei finally understood why Mrs. Zhang had suddenly sought her out—it was all a trap laid by Cheng Yi.

So now it was her turn?

Cheng Yi spoke slowly, "I am merely returning the favor in kind."

Lin Wei trembled uncontrollably, biting her lip as she looked up at Cheng Yi, "What... what do you want?"

"Give me the video you recorded in the restroom."

A self-mocking smile appeared on Lin Wei’s lips—after all that, Cheng Yi was still doing this for Xinan...

Xinan, always Xinan! Why was it always her?

Lin Wei clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms, "I can give it to you, but you have to delete the video of me."

A determined look flashed in her eyes, but... her hopes were misplaced.

As soon as Lin Wei finished speaking, Cheng Yi laughed, his laughter filled with scorn and disgust, "You’re in no position to negotiate with me."

He then called out softly towards the doorway.

Ye Rui, who had been standing outside, immediately walked in. Seeing Cheng Yi’s gesture, he went straight to Lin Wei’s bedside and began to search for something.

Lin Wei shouted, "What... what are you doing?"

But Ye Rui completely ignored her and continued rummaging until he finally found a cell phone under her pillow.

"Mr. Yi," Ye Rui handed the phone over to Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi took the phone, a chilling smile on his lips, "I was willing to have a reasonable discussion, but you really are clueless. This is my final warning—if you dare to mess with Xinan again, don’t expect to live as peacefully as you are now."
