In the cafe, Zhang Ke looked at the caller ID on her phone displaying “Miss Ling”. She bit her lip, her hesitance obvious.

“Have you still not decided?” The person opposite her chuckled.

“I…” Zhang Ke’s brows furrowed tightly, her face ashen.

“You don’t have to tear yourself apart for this, you’ve already expressed your attitude by not going to the set today. Work together with me, I trust that you definitely will be able to do it.”

Zhang Ke’s palm curled up and loosened, her eyes glued to the phone as she eventually nodded.

The press conference’s location was chosen to be at the hotel where the production crew last held their audition, even the same ballroom was used.

There was still some time before the official start, but the hotel had been packed to the brim by reporters. They were either reading their information, checking their scripts, or adjusting their machines and cameras. Everyone was doing their preparation work, not forgetting to cast a look at the door from time to time, worried that they’d miss out on any action.

In the nanny car, Ling Tianya was taking a short nap, she knew that it would be a bloodbath later. She was not afraid, but it was still something that took a lot of energy to deal with.

Opposite Ling Tianya was Ling Yuqing, she had found Ling Tianya first thing in the morning, expressing that since she was Ling Tianya’s assistant, she was obligated to stay by her side and help out that day.

Ling Yuqing looked at Ling Tianya, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

“Why did you have to come back to China, Ling Tianya? Isn’t it good to just stay obediently overseas? Now, your end is determined, and you won’t get anything other than a smelly reputation to your grave!” Ling Yuqing looked out the window, her brows furrowing in her impatience. She asked the driver, “Hey, why are you driving so slowly? Hurry up!”

The driver didn’t reply, but he silently quickened his pace and stepped harder on the accelerator.

Ling Tianya opened her eyes, the thing that first entered her view was Ling Yuqing’s look of excitement and impatience. “Are you that enthusiastic about it?”

Hearing Ling Tianya’s voice, Ling Yuqing jumped, and quickly schooled her expression back into one of neutrality, “Sister Tianya, I thought you were asleep.”

“I was merely getting shut eye.” Ling Tianya looked at Ling Yuqing, a half-smile on her face. Ling Yuqing felt uncomfortable under her cryptic gaze, and immediately said, “Sis, don’t misunderstand me, this is my first time going to such events, I’m just nervous, and I wish for it to be over and done with earlier, that’s why I asked the driver to drive faster.”

“Hmm.” Ling Tianya seemed to believe Ling Yuqing’s words and shut her eyes once again.

Ling Yuqing heaved a sigh of relief, she had let the impending victory get to her head, she had to control her emotions better from then on.

Not too long later, Ling Tianya and the group arrived at the hotel that was hosting the press conference. The moment Ling Tianya’s car was safely stopped, an entire fleet of cars followed up, almost seven or eight of them.

The instant the reporters saw cars coming, they flooded to them. At the same time, they were pushed back by a group of well trained, suited bodyguards that came down from the fleet of cars and formed an impenetrable human wall, barricading the swarm of reporters far away from Ling Tianya.

Ruan Zeyan came down from his car as well, confidently taking steps towards the surprised Ling Tianya, and held her hand. “I’ll walk you in.”

“Why did you come?” Ling Tianya had clearly said before that she didn’t need his help.

Ruan Zeyan looked at her, love evident in his eyes, “To clarify my stance, and to give you support.”

Those past few days, due to the unstoppable “dirt” that had been dug up about Ling Tianya, Ruan Zeyan was on the receiving end of much criticism and discourse too. The netizens were excitedly predicting that with so many incriminating articles about Ling Tianya on the internet, Ruan Zeyan would definitely dump her.

Instead, Ruan Zeyan had shown everyone with his actions that not only would he not dump Ling Tianya, he would be there to give her support in person.

In just seconds, all the flashing cameras were directed towards the two, and the reporters were shouting questions at them from the top of their lungs.

Ling Yuqing sulkily followed behind the two of them, she guessed that Ruan Zeyan might come, but she never imagined that he would do it that publicly!
