Mai Zheng pointed with his index finger at his lips and softly hissed, "How could this be just for fun? I’m brewing a big headline, just you wait and watch."
The agent, anxious as if on hot coals, found this little ancestor simply impossible to manage and turned to call the TV station.
The door cracked open, Yun Miao sneakily glanced outside and quickly shut it again.
Mai Zheng pushed open the door, "What’s there to be shy about? We’re all n here, afraid I’ll see sothing I shouldn’t?"
He couldn’t help but be amused upon seeing the person in front of him.
Adorned in a floor-length floral dress with a pink cardigan draped over, Yun Miao stood tall and slender, more graceful than a woman. Underneath the straight, soft hair was a face indistinguishable between male and female, blending the innocence of a woman with the boldness of a man, stunning beyond words.
Mai Zheng gave a thumbs up: "Beautiful." The face reminded him of Ji Yunya, the two were twins and had looked alike since childhood. He wondered if the grown-up Ji Yunya was also this beautiful.
And with that thought, he felt a little itch in his heart.
Yun Miao felt sowhat embarrassed, coyly fiddling with the hem of the dress, cheeks flushed red as if dabbed with rouge, exuding charm.
The agent walked in after finishing the call and couldn’t help but say, "Little ancestor, don’t tell she’s your girlfriend?"
Mai Zheng rolled his eyes and walked over to hold Yun Miao’s arm, "That’s right, she’s my girlfriend, any problem with that?"
Yun Miao, who disliked being so close to others, was about to push him away when Mai Zheng looked at him and silently mouthed, "If you want to see your sister, you’ll have to listen to from now on."
Poor Yun Miao had just escaped the tiger’s den only to enter the wolf’s lair.
The agent slapped his thigh, "My little ancestor, aren’t you just causing trouble for nothing? You’re so young and you’re already getting a girlfriend. And just at the peak of your career when your popularity isn’t even stable yet, what will the fans think?"
Mai Zheng snorted, "Let them think whatever, I don’t care. From now on, wherever I go, he follows. You’re responsible for his safety. If he’s missing even a single hair, I’ll have you answer for it."
The agent wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Alright, since you’re my ancestor, can we go now?"
"He doesn’t have a passport; he probably can’t board a plane. Have the company send a car, we’ll take a cruise to Jiangzhou, and I can also show my girlfriend the scenery along the way."
The helpless agent went out to arrange things.
Mai Zheng left the airport with Yun Miao in tow, right out in the open. The airport had just been rocked by chaos, and with the ard police sealing off the area, no one was in the mood to pay them any heed. Although they couldn’t avoid being photographed, it didn’t stir up much of a fuss.
Taking a cruise to Jiangzhou was even faster than a plane, taking about an hour. Mai Zheng booked a private cabin and enjoyed the scenery along the way, finding it very pleasant.
Yun Miao remained silent the whole ti, head bowed, neither drinking water nor eating food, as if invisible.
No sooner had Mai Zheng gone to the restroom than the agent sat down next to Yun Miao. Yun Miao moved aside, and the agent’s expression darkened instantly, taking offense at his disdain.
"I’ve seen plenty of won like you, thinking you can beco famous by clinging to Mai Zheng? It’s nothing but a pipe dream. I’m warning you, you’d better leave Mai Zheng this instant, or... or I’ll blacklist you. You’ll never make it in the entertainnt industry again."
The agent had already noted that this woman was quite tall; she was nearly as tall as Mai Zheng even without heels, probably a model. These young models were a di a dozen, thinking they could rise to the top by latching onto Mai Zheng, without even looking at their own reflection to see if they were worthy. Admittedly, she was quite attractive, and more importantly, unique.
Silence.
The agent’s face could no longer just be described as dark: "Playing deaf and mute, huh? I’m telling you, that trick won’t work on . You’d better obediently leave Mai Zheng, or I have a thousand ways to deal with you..."
Still silence, not even granting him a glance, her gaze fixed on the scenery outside the window.
"Hey... you’re quite interesting, girl, but these tricks won’t work on . You want money, right? How much? Let hear it."
...
The agent gritted his teeth, "Want resources? I can arrange for you to get movie roles..."
...
"I’m warning you not to be too ambitious or you’ll choke. So powerless, insignificant model daring to show off in front of ? Go ask around Hong Kong, who doesn’t know the na of the gold-dal agent Master Guan? Who do you think you are to act so arrogantly? Who gave you the nerve?"
