Second Take On Romance - The A-List Actor Wants Me-Chapter 225 : A Single Dot

"I will just tell Yaya that you are giving birth to a healthy set of twins," Yan Renzhong shrugged while maintaining an innocent expression.

"Yan Renzhong!!!" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Shen Jingwei clawed at Yan Renzhong’s arm, trying to get his hands on the flash drive to no avail.

Some distance away from them, Feng Jietang watched their playful interaction with observant eyes. When he could not stomach the sight anymore, he let out a cold snort and walked away from the photoshoot set.

Feng Jietang walked around the shooting locations, intent on dispelling the budding frustration in his heart.

When he did not have to look at the happy couple prancing around him, he felt a lot better.

All the while knowing that he could not avoid them forever.

Feng Jietang heaved a long sigh. He did not know what to think.

He loved Shen Jingwei dearly, so he naturally wished for the latter to be happy.

And the man he loved was genuinely happy when he was with Yan Renzhong.

On the other hand, Feng Jietang could not be happy when he saw Shen Jingwei with Yan Renzhong.

When the two men had a fallout last time, Feng Jietang was secretly hopeful.

Hopeful that this was the end to their love story.

Hopeful that Yan Renzhong would finally be gone from Shen Jingwei’s heart, and he, Feng Jietang, would have the chance to occupy said vacant spot.

In the end, hope remained hope, an intangible dream blown away by the wind.

"Oh, damn it," he cursed angrily.

With nothing else to do, he went to the watch the filming progress.

The more he watched, the more un-passable Jin Zhuo’s acting became.

Although he disagreed with Shang Ruohai’s brutal way of criticism, he found himself secretly cheering on the evil stepmother.

Said evil stepmother, probably sensing a pair of eyes behind him, whirled around and locked gazes with Feng Jietang.

Seized by a foreboding feeling, Feng Jietang abruptly turned and fled.

But one word from Shang Ruohai rooted him to the spot.

"Halt."

Aaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Shang Ruohai closed the distance between them in long strides, his omega gown made swishing sound across the floor when he walked.

"Feng Jietang, a word."

He placed a hand on Feng Jietang’s shoulder, giving the latter goosebumps.

"We haven’t talked about the time you hit my actor in the face."

Horrified, Feng Jietang turned to look at Shang Ruohai.

"What are you talking about? Your actor also gave me a punch across the face! My lip was torn! I was bleeding!"

"I understood that it happened after you hit him," Shang Ruohai pointed out with an arched brow.

"He provoked me first!"

"No verbal provocation justifies violence. Thanks to you, Yan Renzhong had to cancel several activities. I will have you pay for our financial losses."

Feng Jietang howled.

"What about my losses, Senior Shang??? Will you pay for my medical bills??? I also had to cancel several shows!"

Shang Ruohai smirked.

"You can’t blame my actor for acting in self-defense. Next time, better rein in your emotions before you cause others any damage."

"..."

Feng Jietang’s mood could not be worse. His debilitating emotional wounds were compounded by humiliating financial losses.

How was he supposed to explain this to his elder brother???

Unexpectedly, when Feng Jietang reported the unlucky circumstances to Feng Jieyun the next day, the latter did not mind at all.

He eyed the string of numbers on the invoice sent over by CNC Studio in silence for a while before taking it into his hand.

"You know what, Jietang? Let me handle this."

Feng Jietang was stunned.

"Really, Brother? Are you willing to pay on my behalf? You are the bestest brother in the world!"

Feng Jieyun let out a chilling burst of laughter.

"Oh, Jietang. We have known each other from childhood. How can you not know how your elder brother operates? In return for my footing this bill, you will have to participate in that challenge-based reality show next week."

Feng Jietang almost dropped on his knees and howled.

"Big Brother, you can’t do this to me! You are going to ruin my career!"

"Nonsense. You merely need to pass through every obstacle with flying colors. Remember to only show your best sides to the camera!"

Before leaving Feng Jieyun’s office, Feng Jietang cast a gloomy glance at Feng Jieyun.

"They pay handsomely for my participation, don’t they?"

Feng Jieyun smiled.

"Naturally."

"..."

Feng Jietang left without saying another word. His elder brother was just as bad as that horrible Shang Ruohai!

To think that he would force him to participate in a reality show he disliked!

Money could cloud people’s vision, particularly at the heights of power.

Meanwhile, inside the vast office space, Feng Jieyun threw the invoice another glance.

He slowly ran his finger across Shang Ruohai’s signature at the bottom.

After pondering about it for a while, he decided to text a certain person on WeChat.

Feng Jieyun : "Hello."

It took some time, but the person on the other side eventually replied.

Shang Ruohai : "."

A single dot.

Feng Jieyun chuckled to himself.

Feng Jieyun : "Is it convenient to call?"

Shang Ruohai : "."

Feng Jieyun pressed on the phone call button.

After several ringing sounds, Shang Ruohai answered the call.

"Good evening, Ruohai."

Shang Ruohai never liked to be called so casually, but Feng Jieyun never wanted to call him using a formal address.

"Good evening. Let’s go straight to the point. I will forgo the invoice if you are willing to do me a favor."

Hmph.

Typical Shang Ruohai, never one to engage in small talks.

"Oh? What favor?"

"Wu Jin is playing a minor role in Yunhuan’s newest project. I need the filming of the drama to be delayed for several weeks, preferably until next year."

Aha.

Feng Jieyun went through his calendar and squinted at a circled date in the last month of the year.

"What if I say no?" He taunted the person on the other side with a light, unhurried voice.
