C50 Why Not
"Mochen, I want to depend on myself." Yan Xi reached out to grab his sleeve. "You're so good to me that you are leaving your mark in my heart more and more. If there is a day you were to leave me, I won't be able to bear it."
"That is not something I see in our script. Even if there is, I'm not going to that happen."
Chiang Mochen said with absolute confidence as he gently held Yan Xi's hand. The soft touch made him feel nostalgic.
"Really?"
"When have I ever lied to you?"
He put his arms around her neck, his cold eyes filled with affection. Yan Xi leaned on his shoulder softly and smiled flirtatiously, "Mochen, you are tempting me to sin."
"We're already legally married. Whatever we do, it's not a sin." He said in low and raspy voice as he tried to straighten her out.
Their actions were more and more intimate. They were crazily obsessed with the sense of security they were giving each other.
The next morning, Sister Xia woke Yan Xi up..
"Yan Xi, sign here." She handed Yan Xi an unknown contract.
Yan Xi barely opened her eyes and asked in a daze, "What is it?"
"Hurry up and sign it!" urged Sister Xia.
Yan Xi mumbled to acknowledge her. She grabbed a pen and just as she was going to sign it, two words on the first page caught her attention, 'Bodyguard Agreement'.
"This is?" She asked in astonishment, "What is this for?"
Sister Xia giggled and explained to Yan Xi the whole story, "This is all Director Chiang's arrangement. You already had a showdown with the Bai's and you are now their target. Since for the time being, you are still staying at Huihuang Entertainment to humor them, this is for your protection. Your personal safety is most important!"
"That's right, although there is security provided by the company but it is far from ideal. These six elite bodyguards are recruited for you by Director Chiang. They will provide you 24 hours a day protection." Chen Yu added.
"Is it really necessary?" Yan Xi shook her head while she rolled her eyes. She got up and adjusted her pajamas and said, "I'll go and speak to him."
Chiang Mochen was in the living room waiting for her.
"Mochen, this really isn't necessary, I can take care of myself."
Chiang Mochen saw her perplexed expression and held her hand, "Listen, I can't guarantee that I can be there protect you 24 hours a day. In this industry, there are too many unknowns and anything can happen, even in the expected situations. I can't lose you, so I have to do all I can to protect you."
"But …" Yan Xi looked at Chiang Mochen, who is always silently worrying about her. His attentiveness warmed her heart and she couldn't reject the arrangement.
"No buts, I want you to be safe every hour of every day!"
Chiang Mochen held Yan Xi's hand lovingly. He felt Yan Xi deserved everything and he was willing to give it to her. He also wanted to hold her hand and grow old with her.
In this world, he is willing to be her one and only. He wanted to support and cherish her.
Sister Xia watched happily from the side. The reason she was so happy was not because Chiang was willing to pay for such expensive bodyguards to protect Yan Xi but more so that Yan Xi had met a husband who doted on her.
These bodyguards were highly skilled, some of them had to protect the country's leaders and they never cooperated with individual customers. It was only due to Chiang Mochen's social status, they agreed, otherwise, they wouldn't have considered to be Yan Xi's bodyguards.
Once the agreement becomes valid, it would seem like Yan Xi had took out an enormous insurance policy and didn't have to worry about people doing things behind her back.
Knowing how Bai Luofan treated Yan Xi in the past, Chiang Mochen's heart ached so he used his power to provide all the support he could give her. As long as it was something Yan Xi wanted to do, he would support her one hundred percent.
When Sister Xia walked out of Yan Xi's bedroom, her eyes became teary, "Yan Xi finally knows the meaning of being happy."
"Sister Xia, Yan Xi's future will only get better."
"That's right, let's make those scumbags regret everything they did. I wish him and Chiang Yumeng a lifetime together, bitter to the end and never hinder Yan Xi's happiness ever again."
"When their marriage goes public, I have to take a good look at Bai Luofan's reaction."
"..."
In order to create momentum for Chiang Yumeng, Bai Luofan had got in contact with most of Huihuang Entertainment's internal connections. Overnight, all of the entertainment tabloids were headlines of Chiang Yumeng going global with a reality show. He also bribed quite a few networks and online forums to only air and posts good things about Chiang Yumeng to dominate everything that happened between him and Yan Xi.
Furthermore, they posted some of Chiang Yumeng's refined photos side by side with Yan Xi's daily photos to show that Chiang Yumeng's beauty and figure were far better than Yan Xi. Hence the reason for Chiang Yumeng being the top star of Huihuang Entertainment.
Yan Xi had already expected they would be using such spiteful tactics.
Fortunately, there were many fans who had been following Yan Xi as well. They were very concerned that Huihuang Entertainment would conceal Yan Xi and lose the opportunity to stage a comeback.
When the news came out, it was only Chiang Yumeng whom kept the hype going. Yan Xi wasn't even bother to respond, as if she was ready to resign herself to be Chiang Yumeng's foil.
After checking with Yan Xi, Chen Yu finally understood her agenda. She did not think this was the right time to retaliate yet, because she is well aware there will be a better opportunity for a counterattack in future. Chen Yu tried her best to control her fan's reactions, asking everyone to respect Yan Xi's choice. All of Yan Xi's fans knew she had a calm and gentle personality so they did not go online to pick fights with Chiang Yumeng's fans.
Bai Luofan thought the news would cause a lot of bickering online and he would take advantage of the connections to control Yan Xi. But because Yan Xi remained silent, his plan failed.
"Luofan, my followers has risen again!" Chiang Yumeng said. She was elated as she looked at the website.
Chiang Yumeng's assistant chimed in, "Yan Xi is no match to Yumeng. Yan Xi's followers is not even a fraction of Yumeng's."
"I am popular because I have contributed many years in the industry. Do you think Yan Xi is able to catch up in a few days?" Chiang Yumeng smiled boastfully, "Luofan, why don't you say something?"
"I'm wondering if there's a something going on. Why is Yan Xi not doing anything about this?" He sighed, "Although we have the advantage on our side, you have yet to reach the peak of Yan Xi's standard. When 'Behind the scenes' starts, you have to put more effort in so everyone can see your ability!"
Chiang Yumeng's eyes had traces of pride when she heard this, "Not to worry, the acting teacher you hired for me taught me a lot. I will outshine Yan Xi."
"That's not enough. You have to remember the names of the directors and the other actors. You need to have a good relationship with them too. Now that the company has invested in you, you shall not lose to Yan Xi. Otherwise not only yourself but Luofan and I will be compromised."
Bai Wanning said as she entered into the room with a threatening stare.
Chiang Yumeng nodded vigorously, "I will make sure Yan Xi regret it. Anything she can, I can do as well! Huihuang Entertainment will still progress without her!"
