Leo was one of the few people who was aware of the previous relationship between Chi Wan and Huo Tianye. A strange look crossed his face when he saw Chi Wan.

Chi Wan stopped in her tracks and regarded Leo, and Huo Tianye cautiously.

“I thought you wouldn’t agree to it,” Huo Tianye’s charming, narrow eyes curved upwards slowly as he spoke in a low, husky voice.

“Why wouldn’t I agree to it?”

Chi Wan realized how at peace she was. The pain she felt earlier was almost non-existent. “I won’t let go of a great opportunity just because of some f*ckboy.”

Huo Tianye’s lips curled into an intimidating smile. “Wan Wan, you’ll realize that these aren’t the only things you desire once you’re famous. Perhaps till then, you’ll understand what I want.”

Chi Wan chuckled. “You think too much. I won’t sacrifice my dignity for anything.”

Huo Tianye remained calm too. His smile was cloaked with wickedness. “We shall see. First of all, Miss Chi, here’s to a successful working relationship.”

He proffered a hand. A hint of a jeer appeared in his gaze.

Chi Wan noticed the curious stares of a few onlooking staff members in the distance. She could not show her true emotions despite her anger. She held his hand and displayed her beautiful smile.

“To a successful working relationship.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she shook her hand free from his grasp. “Goodbye.”

With a swish of her hair, she walked away gracefully like an elegant queen, her back straight and her high heels clicked rhythmically on the floor. 

“Tianye, I can see that you are still in love with Chi Wan. Why does everything have to come down to this?” Leo asked.

Huo Tianye twisted a ring on the little finger of his right hand. For one brief moment, a complicated look crossed his smiling expression.

“It’s not that she’s unimportant, but compared to certain matters, she isn’t that important.”

To an ambitious man, there were times when love had to be given up temporarily.

When he did not have to hold back his feelings, he would surely attempt to win her heart again!

All these years, he had many casual relationships. However, to be honest, the only woman he had ever been attracted to was Chi Wan.

If Chi Wan had heard all of these, she would probably have let out a cold laugh before giving him a tight slap. Responding to him would have been a waste of her time.

Chi Wan and Joy got into the company car and returned to Dong Yu Entertainment.

“Where are you taking me?” Chi Wan glanced at him.

“The Boss wants to see you.”

Chi Wan frowned. She was just a B-list actress. With the multitude of A-listers in a large company like Dong Yu, why would the Boss want to see her?

They took the elevator and headed straight for the thirty-eighth floor.

This floor was the private area of Dong Yu’s CEO. Staff members and artistes were usually not allowed to step onto this floor unless summoned.

They arrived at the entrance to the biggest office. Joy knocked on the door and politely announced, “Boss, Chi Wan’s here.”

“Enter.”

Goosebumps formed on Chi Wan’s skin when she heard that word!

She recognized that voice. It was the same man who said that she would die if she did not follow the company’s orders!

It was Young Master Mu…

Chi Wan pushed the door open and walked in stiffly. Her gaze met a pair of inquisitive, almond-shaped eyes.

“Chi Wan.”

She tensed when she heard his voice. Instead of looking at him, she mustered up her courage and answered, “That’s me.”

“Tell me, what’s your price?”

“?”

Chi Wan was puzzled and did not comprehend what he meant. She asked, “What price?”

Mu Yunshen was ensconced in his chair and rested his chin on his hand. His demeanor was relaxed and he gave off a highly masculine aura.

He spoke slowly, “Everyone has his or her own value. What about you? How much are you worth?”
