Luo Xiaoqian felt as if she was caught between fire and ice, unable to hear anything except the breathing of the two people beside her and the beating of her own heart.

A certain small tavern.
In Beijing, the "Renowned Reporter" Zhang Hua excitedly took the cara passed over from his apprentice across the table, scrutinizing the photos inside.
Upon seeing the photo of Jiao Yang and Luo Xiaoqian embracing each other, he let out an ambiguous chuckle.
"Not bad, Liu Tao, not bad at all. You’re indeed teachable!"
"It’s all thanks to your excellent teaching, Master. If you hadn’t told to follow Jiao Yang, how could I have taken such photos?" Liu Tao, a newbie paparazzo across from him, kept up a sycophantic smile, "Brother Hua, how much do you think we could sell these photos to the newspapers for?"
"Well, if it were you, you could probably get up to ten thousand yuan at most!" Zhang Hua glanced at him with a prideful smile, "However, if it were , that figure could easily multiply several tis!"
"No way, are these photos that valuable?" Liu Tao’s face showed disbelief, as he had initially thought the photos were only worth a few thousand yuan.
"Do you even know who this is?" Zhang Hua asked, pointing at Jiao Yang in the photo.
Liu Tao shook his head.
He was a jobless guy from Beijing who got to know Zhang Hua by chance, heard that being a paparazzo and taking photos was particularly lucrative, and, after plying Zhang Hua with drinks and ingratiating himself, recognized Zhang as his ntor and bought a cara to join the trade.
Even following Jiao Yang was an assignnt from Zhang Hua. As for who Jiao Yang was, how would he know?
"Asia View, do you know it?"
"The sa Asia View that shares the entertainnt industry’s Rivers and Mountains with Emperor View?" Liu Tao looked at the charismatic man on the cara’s display screen, "He’s with Asia View?"
"Wrong!" responded Zhang Hua, lightly tapping the cara, "It’s not that he’s with Asia View, but that he is the boss of Asia View!"
"No way, how co I’ve never heard of that?"
"It’s inside information, how would you know?" Zhang Hua said with a smile, "If I hadn’t gotten this news first, why would I have you follow a nobody? Let tell you, you should learn well from . When I first saw Luo Xiaoqian at the bar, I knew she was going to be a hit. Sure enough, look at how much has changed in just a few days. That girl has now been elevated to a contracted singer at Emperor View, with ’Emperor Leng’ Leng Zimo publicly apologizing to her during a press conference. And now she even has ties with the boss of Asia View? That girl can’t help but beco famous!"
Liu Tao’s face lit up with excitent, "Master, what about... this photo?"
"No rush, let’s sit on it for a day or two. According to reliable sources, Jiao Yang should be taking up his new position soon. Once the whole world knows who he is, that’s when we release this photo. Let tell you, don’t ntion a hundred thousand, even two hundred thousand soone will want it!"
"Master, from the sounds of it, are we about to strike it rich?" Liu Tao grinned, his eyes narrowing into slits.
"Of course!" Zhang Hua patted his shoulder, "This is just the beginning. Stick with and work hard, and I can guarantee you will live a life of luxury!"
"Don’t worry, I’ll listen to you. From now on, whoever you tell to follow, I’ll stick to them like a dog, 24/7!" Liu Tao poured him a beer, "Here’s to you, Master!"

In the bedroom
Luo Xiaoqian was held in Leng Zimo’s embrace, her cheeks still flushed with a blush that had not faded, and the thought of how she had behaved just monts before made her want to burrow into the covers.
Luo Xiaoqian, you’ve fallen!
You...you didn’t even resist?!
