Irresistible Romance

They could have continued to the next step but they respected each other's choices. His kiss and touch made Yan Xi happy. Seeing her leaning on his arm, Chiang Mochen gently raised her chin.     

    

"You must have been exhausted these past few days?"    

    

He was referring to the matter of battling Huihuang Entertainment. Yan Xi hugged him tightly, "Fortunately, I have Sister Xia, Chen Yu and most importantly, you helped me so I'm alright."    

    

"How did you know I did something?" He slightly raised his eyebrows. He knew that Yan Xi didn't want him to interfere, so he endured it and did not go against her wishes. Otherwise, if he got involved, Huihuang Entertainment would no longer exist in the entertainment industry. An insignificant person like Bai Luofan couldn't even compare to Chiang Mochen.    

    

"Apart from Mr Chiang, who else is worth hundreds of billions and who else could make someone give up with only a phone call?"    

    

Chiang Mochen smiled as she praised. Yan Xi was definitely smart.    

    

"You don't blame me?" He asked in a low voice, looking at the woman in his arms.     

    

"Of course not. I know you're concerned about me. For them to protect Huihuang Entertainment's reputation and their own interests, they used such inferior tactics. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't know how to get out of this mess. Mochen, really, thank you."    

    

What Yan Xi wanted most was his protection and respect.    

    

Even without her asking, Chiang Mochen would always consider things from her perspective. This approach was how Yan Xi wanted to get along with him and with their hearts drawing closer to each other.    

    

"In the future, you must tell me when something comes up."    

    

"I will. I'll also take care of myself for you." Yan Xi promised earnestly.    

    

"..."    

    

Sister Xia found Yan Xi, the best lawyer in the industry, of course Yan Xi covered the cost herself. Although she had retired these past few years, Yan Xi had yet to reach the end of the line.    

    

"Lawyer Chen, Director Bai is in." Bai Luofan's secretary stopped them at the door, preventing them from entering.    

    

Sister Xia expected Bai Luofan would use these tactics to stall them. She exchanged a glance with Lawyer Chen and said, "That's alright. We're not in a hurry so we'll wait here for him."    

    

He is not in now, but she is sure he will turn up sooner or later.    

    

The secretary looked troubled and had no reason to ask them to leave, so all that could be done is ask them to wait in the lounge area.    

    

Sister Xia sent a message to Yan Xi, "Bai Luofan refuses to meet us."    

    

Yan Xi called Sister Xia and said, "Hmm, I'm still thirty minutes from the office. Not to worry, we will settle this with him today!" After finishing speaking, she then hung up.     

    

They have evidence of Bai Luofan having an affair with Chiang Yumeng. They used malicious tactics to discredit Yan Xi, not to mention, the recording of how they plan to take use Yan Xi. Also the contract they signed that year had many loopholes. Yan Xi held the advantage now.    

    

After waiting for twenty minutes, Bai Luofan suddenly showed up in front of Sister Xia and Lawyer Chen, surprising them. He was brimming with energy, "Here to settle things. right? Come in!"    

    

Sister Xia realized something wasn't right. She quickly sent another message to Yan Xi before stepping to Bai Luofan's office with Lawyer Chen.    

    

"Have a seat. I know you are only thinking of Yan Xi. With the company in such a mess right now, you should appreciate the time I have arranged for you." Bai Luofan's eyes lit up. He was confident with his plan as he had asked his second sister for guidance in advance.    

    

Once Sister Xia starts talking, he put his plan in motion.    

    

"You think saying things like that will make us give up. The contract Yan Xi signed with you back then was not entirely fair. All those years, she had suffered a lot at the company so we insist you..."    

    

"To publicly apologize to Yan Xi? Sure, I can do that." Bai Luofan said, interrupting Sister Xia.    

    

As Yan Xi stood near the doorway, she heard his words loud and clear. She saw the expression on Bai Luofan's face was particularly dazzling. He looked very confident which made Yan Xi uncomfortable.    

    

"I will not give up on Yumeng. My relationship with Yan Xi has already completely ended. From now on, our relationship is purely professional. Whether her contract is fair or not, the fact is her contract has not ended yet so she is still an artist under Huihuang Entertainment and is obliged to adhere to the company's arrangement for her, but ..."     

    

He looked at Yan Xi suddenly, who was still standing in the doorway. He got up and took out some documents from his briefcase.    

    

"I want you to go on a talk show together with Yumeng and clear up your relationship, to show the rest of the world, you both do actually get along with each other. This is a win-win situation. Even if you terminate your contract with me, what's make you think, you still have a chance in the industry? So why don't we help each other?"    

    

Bai Luofan had to force himself to say the last four words.    

    

"Otherwise, I will have you disappear forever from the entertainment industry even if my business have to suffer."    

    

Yan Xi would never have thought that her relationship with Bai Luofan would come to this. Lovers one day, enemies the next. She had endured his overbearing attitude again and again, but...    

    

"Don't you dare use Yan Xi again!" Sister Xia stood up, "You will not manipulate us. Why does Yan Xi need to clear the relationship? It is was it is, that's a fact. Huihuang Entertainment is simply a malignant workplace. No one has a problem if you want to support Yumeng but to still keep using Yan Xi like this, aren't you ashamed of yourself?"    

    

"Welcome to the real world! That is reality, after all the big fish eat the little fish. Did you really think I got Huihuang Entertainment to where it is now because I got lucky? Yan Xi, tell me if you agree?"    

    

Bai Luofan tried to persuade Yan Xi to agree with him.    

    

Bai Xiaoxiao, his second sister said that Yan Xi was an intelligent person and would always weigh the pros and cons. As long as he supported her, she wouldn't heartlessly cut off all ties with the company. It would be very beneficial to the company if Chiang Yumeng could appear together with Yan Xi in public. This could also help rebuild Chiang Yumeng's reputation as well.    

    

Evaluating the situation, Bai Luofan was not going to give up and allow her to leave the company.     

    

Yan Xi looked at him calmly. "Okay, I agree to it."    

    

"Yan Xi!" Sisiter Xia exclaimed in anger, worried that Yan Xi would fall back into Bai Luofan's traps again.    

    

"Since you you want us to participate in the show together, don't blame me if anything happens. You also have to carefully consider my lawyer's request!"    

    

This was Yan Xi's greatest compromise, she didn't want the game to end so early either. Even if she accepted to be in the talk show, it didn't mean that she would foil to Chiang Yumeng. The game has still a long way to go.    

    

"Alright!"    

    

Bai Luofan gritted his teeth. It was only when Yan Xi and the others left his office, he was able to relax. He immediately called Bai Xiaoxiao.    

    

"Sis, Yan Xi agreed. What is the next step?"    

    

"We will follow the plan one step at a time. Make sure Chiang Yumeng does not act rashly. Things have developed to this point because of her jealousy towards Yan Xi. Remember, you have to show the outside world, the company is there to support Yan Xi. Only then your cheating scandal can be cleared."    

    

"Don't worry, I won't mess up this time. I will definitely help Xiaoxiao get better!"    

    

Worst case scenario, he would pressure her to donate her bone marrow to save his sister if she was to leave.
