Liu Qiaoqiao's face darkened when she saw Xiao Ye.
He looked fierce.
It seemed that if Liu Qiaoqiao didn't hand over her phone, her fate would be dire.
Liu Qiaoqiao's delicate body trembled.
"A Ye, what's... what's wrong with you?"
A rare look of fear appeared on Liu Qiaoqiao's fair and alluring face.
Xiao Ye's dark eyes stared fixedly at Liu Qiaoqiao.
An oppressive aura emanated from him.
He gently caressed Liu Qiaoqiao's face, his voice hoarse as he demanded, "Qiaoqiao, be good."
"You want to stop me from going to the dinner party?"
A look of hurt and confusion flashed in Liu Qiaoqiao's eyes. She said, "A Ye, don't you trust me?"
Xiao Ye said coldly, "I trust you, but I don't trust those people at the dinner party. It's too dangerous for you to go."
There are no opportunities that come without a reason.
Liu Qiaoqiao's alluring face was both pure and enchanting.
"A Ye, Wu Feng will protect me. He's a good agent and has never made me do anything I didn't want to do..."
Liu Qiaoqiao wanted to reassure Xiao Ye.
However, this only further angered Xiao Ye.
He frowned and said, "Everyone in the world is good, but Wu Feng is definitely not!"
Liu Qiaoqiao pursed her lips, finding the stubborn Xiao Ye a headache.
Her sisters in the same cohort at the company had gained fame early by maintaining a single persona.
The company had also offered Liu Qiaoqiao resources, but she had given them up for love.
"A Ye, can we talk after I get back?"
Her tone was soft, a step-by-step compromise.
Xiao Ye stated resolutely, "No means no!"
Liu Qiaoqiao hadn't expected her boyfriend to be so stubborn. Now that Xiao Ye wasn't earning money, she was the sole breadwinner for the family...
Suddenly.
Liu Qiaoqiao's phone vibrated; it must be Wu Feng calling.
She intended to answer the call away from Xiao Ye...
Xiao Ye's gaze fixed on Liu Qiaoqiao, his tone calmly oppressive, "Give me the phone."
Liu Qiaoqiao's delicate eyebrows knitted slightly. She took out her phone.
The next moment, Xiao Ye snatched Liu Qiaoqiao's phone.
He forcefully hung up the call.
They were so close to each other.
Liu Qiaoqiao looked at Xiao Ye, feeling suffocated.
She saw Xiao Ye operating her phone.
A hint of pleading appeared in Liu Qiaoqiao's eyes, "A Ye, I must go to this dinner party. I promise I'll be back before ten, okay?"
Xiao Ye saw that Liu Qiaoqiao was on the verge of tears from anxiety.
He looked at Liu Qiaoqiao's WeChat messages, the content of her previous conversations with Wu Feng.
The dinner party was scheduled for seven-thirty tonight.
"If I get this opportunity, my popularity will definitely increase."
"If we earn more money, A Ye, you won't have to work so hard..."
Liu Qiaoqiao pleaded earnestly.
Xiao Ye brushed a strand of hair from Liu Qiaoqiao's face.
He gripped the phone, his voice hoarse, "You trust Wu Feng so much, you believe he won't harm you?"
"Wu Feng has been my agent for so long. He's taught me a lot about surviving in this industry. He definitely won't harm me!"
Liu Qiaoqiao knew what Xiao Ye was worried about.
Two years ago, Xiao Ye and Wu Feng had a falling out.
Xiao Ye had refused to sign with Liu Qiaoqiao's company in public because of Wu Feng.
She was truly exhausted.
Helpless, Liu Qiaoqiao hugged Xiao Ye's waist.
"We've been in the entertainment industry for almost five years. Becoming famous has always been our dream..."
Xiao Ye could see that Liu Qiaoqiao was unwilling to give up.
After a few seconds of silence.
Xiao Ye slowly lowered his head, "You absolutely have to go?"
"Yes, I'll be back soon."
Liu Qiaoqiao nodded firmly at Xiao Ye.
A hint of a wry smile appeared on Xiao Ye's lips, "Fine, I'll let you go."
Liu Qiaoqiao happily hooked her arms around Xiao Ye's neck.
Joy sparkled in her captivating eyes.
"That's great, A Ye. I knew you'd understand me."
Liu Qiaoqiao excitedly threw herself into Xiao Ye's arms.
However, Xiao Ye's face remained expressionless.
After Xiao Ye let go of Liu Qiaoqiao, his tone was very gentle, "You go get ready first, dress up beautifully. I'll give you your phone later."
Liu Qiaoqiao was stunned.
Although she didn't know why Xiao Ye would return her phone later.
Liu Qiaoqiao replied trustingly, "Okay, I'll go get ready then."
Xiao Ye watched Liu Qiaoqiao turn and leave the room.
His gaze suddenly turned cold.
Xiao Ye looked down at Liu Qiaoqiao's phone, flipping through her contacts.
Xiao Ye shut down the computer.
He changed into a suit, his expression unreadable.
Outside, the clock in the living room showed half-past six.
In Liu Qiaoqiao's walk-in closet, she was wearing a simple white dress.
Alluring and pure were the adjectives used to describe her.
Bewitchingly unaware, Liu Qiaoqiao's makeup was also stunning.
"A Ye, why did you change clothes too?"
Liu Qiaoqiao asked with some confusion after seeing Xiao Ye's attire.
Xiao Ye remained silent.
Liu Qiaoqiao didn't suspect anything, "Can I have my phone back?"
As the young woman approached, Xiao Ye took a step back.
Under Liu Qiaoqiao's bewildered gaze, Xiao Ye locked the door to the walk-in closet!
"Qiaoqiao, you stay home."
Liu Qiaoqiao's beautiful eyes widened, "A Ye, what do you mean?"
Xiao Ye immediately walked outside.
Liu Qiaoqiao anxiously chased after him, but it was too late.
She couldn't open the room door.
Liu Qiaoqiao frantically banged on the door, her helpless and anxious voice echoing from inside, "Let me out quickly!"
"You said I could go, so why are you locking me in!"
Liu Qiaoqiao couldn't open the room without a key.
Xiao Ye stood coldly outside the door, calmly telling Liu Qiaoqiao.
"I'll go to this dinner party for you."
"What... you can't do this, A Ye, let me out quickly!"
Liu Qiaoqiao's anxious tears began to fall upon hearing Xiao Ye's voice outside the door.
Crying, she said to Xiao Ye, "A Ye, you can't lie. Let me out!"
Xiao Ye's footsteps sounded, growing fainter as he walked away.
"Don't go, A Ye, come back, A Ye, let me out!!"
Liu Qiaoqiao cried out helplessly.
She never imagined that Xiao Ye would lock her in the house.
She called Xiao Ye's name over and over.
Her voice grew hoarse from calling.
Xiao Ye did not return.
Liu Qiaoqiao could not wait for him to return.
...
Off-screen.
The crowd was furious!
"Xiao Ye, that disgusting fellow, actually betrayed our War God Liu!"
"He's trying to snatch this dinner party opportunity, right? He used such despicable means!"
"War God Liu crying breaks my heart. She's too beautiful, it pains me so much..."
No amount of foul curses could describe Xiao Ye's actions.
After seeing this, Liu Qiaoqiao's lips curled upwards.
She was mocking.
She was disdainful.
Xiao Ye had卑鄙ly snatched her phone, stealing this important opportunity from her.
In her past life, she had naively believed that Xiao Ye loved her so much that he would never betray their love.
"On our third anniversary, Xiao Ye gave me a very, very big gift."
For some reason, Liu Qiaoqiao's smile turned into tears.
