Chapter 3363

o speak, Zhao Yino dashed out of the office. 。"This is just the first step, you owe me, and I'm going to make you pay." 。Hope for a pleasant cooperation. 。Gu Wàng whispered, watching Zhao Yǐnuo leav...As soon as she thought of this, Yang Ning felt a slight sense of relief in her heart. At least for now, it could be proven that An Tianxiang would not hire Cheng Hao to kill her. As for what might happen later, that remained to be seen.

No matter what, the most important thing for her to know now is who that person is.

Yang Ning was holding a book, leaning against the wall pondering a problem. Her soul had long since drifted away to who knows where. Suddenly, a pair of hands patted her shoulder, startling Yang Ning so badly that her shoulders flinched and the book fell to the ground.

"Yang Ning"

When her own name was called out, she realized she had only brought a hat. Anyone paying close attention could easily spot her.

Yang Ning nervously pressed down on her hat, picked up her book, and waved her hand to indicate that she wasn't Yang Ning, wanting to quickly leave the place and avoid attention.

"You didn't even bring a mask, do you expect me to mistake you"

The man's voice behind her persisted, even grabbing at the corner of her clothes. Yang Ning's emotions, which had just calmed down, were stirred again. It was easy for her to become tense whenever someone spoke.

She pulled at the corner of her clothes, wanting to pay the bill, but the man behind her suddenly rushed to her face.

Yang Ning hung her head, looking at the pair of men's leather shoes in front of her. She raised her head in confusion and unease. Countless possibilities flashed through her mind, but she never expected to see Director Huang Ping standing there.

"Director, what are you doing here" Yang Ning exclaimed in surprise, sounding somewhat incredulous.

Huang Ping raised the book in his hand and sized up Yang Ning, who was acting shifty. "What's with that sneaky look Like you're trying to hide something"

When Huang Ping said that, Yang Ning gave a dry chuckle and shifted uncomfortably, scratching his head. "It's not that, it's just that I haven't eaten yet. I was thinking of buying a book, but I guess I look a bit drained."

Although he had an excuse, Huang Ping didn't really believe it. He looked at the person in front of him and didn't intend to pry into their privacy.

The two walked side by side towards the cashier. Huang Ping casually placed the book on the counter and suddenly remembered something. He turned to Yang Ning and said, "No matter what happened, I have to say in advance that you can't affect my acting."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ning was taken aback. She quickly regained her composure and nodded, saying: "Of course, I wouldn't cause you any trouble. If you're willing to cooperate with me..."

She appeared calm, but Huang Ping saw the glint of inquiry in her eyes. He paid for the book and took it, then glanced at Yang Ning with a hint of warning: "Whether or not we cooperate isn't up to me alone. Your acting is good, but there are many others out there who are even better in this circle. We always have to make choices."

With a deft touch, Yang Ning skillfully steered the conversation to an end, leaving Huang Ping with no recourse.

She knew he wasn't ready to tell her the results of the casting yet, so Yang Ning wouldn't push him.

As the two reached the shop's entrance, Yang Ning was about to hail a taxi home. However, Huang Ping, who was behind her, called out to her once again.

"Is there anything wrong"

Yang Ning turned around, apparently not quite understanding why he had been called. A look of confusion was evident on his face.

Standing before Yang Ning, Huang Ping tucked the book under his arm. His somewhat aged face still held that serious expression, and the wrinkles between his brows seemed eternally unfurrowed.

"Seeing you're a person, I wanted to ask, would you like to have dinner together"

The sudden invitation left Yang Ning stunned. Director Huang Ping had personally asked her out to dinner, and she didn't seem to have any grounds for refusal, especially since she hadn't signed on to "Story of Ruyi" yet.

Thinking about this, Yang Ning calmed his mind, raised the corner of his mouth into a smile, and nodded: "Sure, if it's about having dinner with Director Huang, I still have time."

Although Yang Ning didn't have much money, she knew that there were plenty of delicious foods in the city. She was pondering whether her budget allowed for a nice meal with Huang Ping when she saw him walk straight into a very ordinary restaurant. Meow meow murmured...

Yang Ning raised his head and glanced at the sign with a hint of confusion. After making sure he hadn't misread it, his jaw dropped in surprise.

The domineering CEO, Gu Shao, is notoriously cold and ruthless.

His wife, who was initially a naive and innocent woman, finds herself navigating his dark secrets and hidden desires.

Will she be able to survive his possessive love or will she succumb to his dangerous charmZhou Yang stood there, looking utterly bewildered. 。"Big brother, why is the mountain cat angry" she asked. 。"Go ask him, don't bother me!" the man shouted. 。Suddenly, the air got a lot colder. 。One...
