Chapter 45: The Ex-Girlfriend of a Wealthy Young Man (45)

Under the candlelight, the woman’s smile was so candid and calm. He actually wasn’t disgusted with people in their circle who found themselves sugar daddies. It was just that he hadn’t expected Tang Guo to be one of them.

“No.”

Chen Yuesheng suddenly remembered that Tang Guo came from a very ordinary background. She’d been orphaned as a child and had worked hard to pay for an education at the Conservatory of Music. If there hadn’t been anyone behind her to give her a boost, she might not have been able to make it to where she was today.

Having learned that Leng Rui was her sugar daddy, Chen Yuesheng wasn’t disgusted. On the contrary, he somehow felt his heart go out to her.

“Oh…” With a smile on her face, Tang Guo said, “I’m a little surprised. I thought Brother Chen wouldn’t like someone like that.”

“N… No…”

Chen Yuesheng was feeling a little nervous. He took a closer look at the woman in front of him. She had a beautiful face and an elegant demeanor, and she was very attractive. It was his first time encountering a woman who spoke so frankly.

“Guo’er, if you don’t want to stay by Leng Rui’s side anymore, you can always come to me.”

Chen Yuesheng felt that the knives and forks were especially slippery tonight, and he fumbled a little trying to get a better grip on them. It was probably because they had been used too many times. He would have to suggest to the boss later on that he should replace all the old cutlery.

Tang Guo raised her eyes slightly, the corners of her mouth curving gently into a smile. In a sweet voice, she asked, “Why is that? Does Brother Chen want to become my sugar daddy too?”

“No… Not that.” Chen Yuesheng stammered a little.

“Then why?”

The woman put down her knife and fork, then propped up her chin with one hand as she focused her gaze on Chen Yuesheng, making him feel extremely nervous.

Chen Yuesheng had to avert his gaze. He himself didn’t know why either. All he could say was, “I just want to help you.”

“Thank you, Brother Chen. Don’t we need to take some photographs?”

Chen Yuesheng became even more nervous. Thinking about the promise he had made to his fans, he got up from his seat and went over to sit next to Tang Guo. He was trembling and felt weak, and so it took ten minutes before they finally managed to take a few satisfactory photographs.

He let out a long sigh of relief. Really, this was even more nerve-wracking than his first time on stage.

“Let me take you home,” he said.

Tang Guo didn’t refuse his offer.

After Tang Guo gave him her address, Chen Yuesheng felt his mind become a lot clearer. It was indeed the place where Leng Rui resided.

It was close to midnight, and Leng Rui was already very irritated and frustrated. That woman had yet to return.

He was just thinking about this when the sound of a car parking came from downstairs.

He stood up, walked to the window, and saw with his own eyes Chen Yuesheng helping the woman out of his car like a gentleman.

Leng Rui’s eyes suddenly grew somewhat cold as his gaze shifted from Chen Yuesheng to the woman.

The woman seemed to have noticed the change, because she looked up and smiled at him.

When Tang Guo stepped into the villa, she felt as if she was being stalked by a venomous snake.

She raised her eyes slightly and looked at Leng Rui with a smile on her face. Then, she said, “Dear Sugar Daddy, you don’t seem to be in a good mood today.”

A hint of a dangerous smile flashed across his lips as he walked up to the woman, looked askance at her, and then, lowering his head, asked, “Have you taken a fancy to Chen Yuesheng now?”

“You have good taste in men,” he said.

“Jealous?” Tang Guo hugged Leng Rui’s arm and asked, “Mm? Now, have you finally realized that I’ve found a place in your heart?”

Leng Rui pried Tang Guo’s hands away from his arm, looking incredibly ruthless and cold.

“Even if I’m greatly attracted to your songs, I don’t need an immoral, fickle-minded woman by my side at this time.”

Leng Rui lit a cigarette and said, “All of you, come out here. Help Miss Tang to pack up her things and move them to her place.”

“On account of Chen Yuesheng, who’s so interested in you, I’ll spare your life today.” He had an incredibly cruel look on his face as he said this.

This was a man who didn’t know how to show compassion and tenderness to a woman.

His heart was filled with darkness and murderous intent.

“Are you not going to support me anymore?” Tang Guo looked at the man in front of her, then flashed an incomparably dazzling smile as she said, “Leng Rui, are you going to throw me out again?”
