Second Take On Romance - The A-List Actor Wants Me-Chapter 305 : (Extra) Lang Yuxuan and Feng Jietang’s Side Story (6)

Chapter 305: Chapter 305 : (Extra) Lang Yuxuan and Feng Jietang’s Side Story (6)

Lang Yuxuan half-expected Feng Jietang to rat him out to the press or even the top circle within the entertainment industry the very next day.

At Feng Jietang’s current level, he could destroy Lang Yuxuan’s career with a snap of his finger.

And yet, he did not do anything of that sort.

Lang Yuxuan continued receiving job offers, however small.

Jin Zhuo, on the other hand, had been officially expelled from CNC Studio. His role as Xie Jianzhi in "Dance Of The Dragons" was most likely going to be his only glorious appearance across the screen.

Several more weeks passed without any meaningful incidents.

Lang Yuxuan found himself staring at Feng Jietang’s name in his WeChat contact list many times.

He kept wondering if Feng Jietang already blocked him.

It wouldn’t be a surprise, really.

Several times, he itched to send a message to Feng Jietang.

But in the end, he did not manage even a simple "hi".

Trust was but a fragile edifice, carefully constructed over time by putting down one stone on top of another.

Yet, a single misstep, a single misdeed, a careless word could bring it crashing down in an instant.

Right now, Lang Yuxuan did not know how to restore the level of trust Feng Jietang once had for him.

He didn’t even know why he had to try so hard.

It’s not like Feng Jietang would ever see him that way.

The way he saw Shen Jingwei.

Autumn slowly came to an end.

With the first chill of winter, the much-anticipated return of A-list couple Shen Jingwei and Yan Renzhong electrified the nation.

Upon their arrival at the international airport, they were greeted by a sea of adoring fans.

To ensure their safety, CNC Studio had to deploy a significant security team to navigate the couple through the clamoring crowd.

Lang Yuxuan also came to greet his mentor, but naturally he was unable to come close at all.

In the end, he was forced to return home with the small flower bouquet, unable to present it to Yan Renzhong.

His disappointment soon evaporated in the air when he received a message from Yan Renzhong.

Yan Renzhong : "Yuxuan, how are you?"

Lang Yuxuan held onto his phone like it were his lifeline.

Lang Yuxuan : "I am fine. Senior Yan, have you made full recovery?"

Yan Renzhong : "Pretty much. I will still go back from time to time for follow-up examinations."

Lang Yuxuan : "Oh."

Yan Renzhong : "Come to my apartment tomorrow, Jingwei and I are hosting a little gathering for friends and associates."

"..."

A little gathering?

The Yan Renzhong he knew had never hosted anything, be it a little or a big gathering. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

What was that about?

Lang Yuxuan was suddenly overcome with an awful premonition.

Lang Yuxuan : "Senior Yan, you are not announcing your retirement, are you?"

Yan Renzhong : "Of course not. Be here tomorrow at 7 PM, okay?"

Lang Yuxuan : "Yes, Senior."

Lang Yuxuan followed up with a message to Wen Guilin, asking her to free up his schedule close to 7 PM the next day.

Naturally, Wen Guilin, this efficient manager, already did her part.

Wen Guilin : "We can go together tomorrow, Little Lang. I am also invited."

Lang Yuxuan : "Ah, alright."

Friends and associates.

Lang Yuxuan tapped at his phone absent-mindedly.

Feng Jietang was most likely going to be there too.

A bitter taste spread in Lang Yuxuan’s mouth when he recalled Feng Jietang’s disgusted expression the last time they met.

Tomorrow marked the first time they met after that night.

What was going to happen between them?

Was Feng Jietang still deeply disappointed in him?

Was he going to badmouth Lang Yuxuan during the gathering?

It would be the most perfect and fastest opportunity to destroy Lang Yuxuan’s career, to be very honest.

Lang Yuxuan burrowed his face into his hands and groaned against his palms.

"Arghhhhh..."

It didn’t matter.

If Feng Jietang wanted to destroy him so badly, Lang Yuxuan would neither run away nor buckle from fear.

He would accept the consequences of his misdeeds bravely, however grave.

The next day, Wen Guilin and Lang Yuxuan drove together to Red Jade Pavilion.

The parking lot was overflowing with a dazzling array of luxury cars, creating the illusion of a prestigious car showroom.

In comparison, Wen Guilin’s SUV appeared rather humble. A small boat in a vast ocean teeming with cruise ships and yachts.

The owners were all guests to Yan Renzhong and Shen Jingwei’s "little" gathering.

The moment Wen Guilin and Lang Yuxuan stepped foot into the apartment, their jaws practically dropped in a mixture of amazement and disbelief.

Which part of this gathering was considered "little", again?

The vast apartment was no different from a constellation of stars, where luminaries from the entertainment industry gathered within its four walls.

Every corner of the space buzzed with energy as renowned actors, acclaimed actresses, chart-topping singers, visionary directors, and esteemed art critics mingled in small groups.

All of them wore their best suits and shoes. The jewelry adorning the ladies’ necks were as brilliant as the watches circling the gentlemen’s wrists.

Wen Guilin, who brought a small recovery gift, and Lang Yuxuan, who brought another small bouquet of flower, felt their own offerings pale in comparison to the extravagant displays of the other guests.

"Maybe we should change into something more lavish," Wen Guilin mumbled to the young man next to her.

"Can we go back now?" Lang Yuxuan quickly agreed.

Alas, before they could sneak away, Yan Renzhong already noticed their arrival.

"Manager Wen, Yuxuan, you are finally here."

Months after his surgery, Yan Renzhong’s hair had grown back, albeit short. He chose to embrace the change with a fresh, cropped haircut. This new look did nothing to diminish his inherent handsomeness.

"Little Yan!" Wen Guilin cried out. "So happy to see you again!"

Yan Renzhong laughed. He pulled Wen Guilin into a hug.

"Long time no see, both of you. Is everything alright during my absence?"

"Yes! Your schedule is packed until the next six months! I hope you are ready to take them on."

Lang Yuxuan awkwardly presented the small bouquet of flower in his hands to Yan Renzhong.

"S-senior Yan, welcome back!"

Yan Renzhong’s lips pulled into a smile.

"Thank you, Yuxuan."

When he took the bouquet of flower from Lang Yuxuan, the latter noticed something different about him.

His left ring finger now carried two rings -- the one Shen Jingwei bought for him, and a brand-new tiger-shaped gold band.
