Xue Chengcheng’s cheeks were burning, and if she didn’t go, wouldn’t that confirm the rumors of her being a diva? With her footing in the entertainment industry not yet stable, such gossip could complicate her path forward. Xue Chengcheng secretly ground her teeth. Tian Tian was intentionally setting a trap for her, and Chengcheng couldn’t let her have her way. She had to go, absolutely. Upon arriving at the private room, people were singing and others were drinking, leaving her sitting alone in the corner, looking isolated. Tian Tian stood in front of the screen, singing "Love Song for Singles" with a touch of sorrow and melancholy. Under the glittering lights, it seemed as if a trail of tears flashed across her face. Xue Chengcheng paused for a moment, glancing at the others who appeared indifferent, continuing with whatever entertainment they were preoccupied with. After singing the last line, Tian Tian suddenly flipped her short hair with a cool and clean flair. She turned her head towards Xue Chengcheng, "Miss Xue took the runner-up in the singing competition, so tonight we can all enjoy a feast for our ears, how about it, Miss Xue, will you sing a song?" Xue Chengcheng instinctively wanted to refuse, but she stood up instead, "Obedience is the best policy, what would you like to hear, Sister Tian Tian?" Looking at the girl’s sweet smile, Tian Tian smirked meaningfully, crossed her arms, and sat down on the sofa. "Fish Leong’s The Third Party." There was a moment of silence in the air; a few people glanced at Xue Chengcheng then nonchalantly averted their gaze. Xue Chengcheng said with a smile, "I hope the seniors won’t mind if I don’t sing well." With that, she found the song in the playlist, and as the intro started to play, she took the microphone and sang the first line. While Xue Chengcheng’s vocal talent might not compare with a powerhouse singer, her biggest strength was her rich emotions, perfectly capturing the despair and melancholy of a woman betrayed by her husband. Tian Tian leaned back into the sofa, arms crossed, her gaze on the slender figure on stage darkened amidst the flickering lights. When the song ended, someone clapped, "Not bad at all." Another person tugged at the applauder, suggesting less talk. The man touched his nose, looking slightly abashed. Xue Chengcheng smiled, "You flatter me, seniors." Afterwards, Xu Weiwei insisted on pouring drink after drink for Chengcheng, giving her no opportunity to refuse. Eventually, Xue Chengcheng was forced to buckle up and go along, managing not to get drunk thanks to her fairly good alcohol tolerance, much to everyone’s surprise, even causing Xu Weiwei to falter. Han Tao stopped his beer pouring, "That’s enough. She’s a young lady; how can you make her drink to the point of being completely wasted?" Xu Weiwei burped, "Bro, we’re just having fun. It’s not often we come across such a good drinker; we must drink to our heart’s content today." Given how close Xu Weiwei and Tian Tian were, his actions were undoubtedly instructed by Tian Tian. Chengcheng couldn’t directly confront them, so she went along with their drinking game, which ended up with Xu Weiwei under the table instead. No one expected her tolerance to be so formidable, not even Xu Weiwei, known as the "drinking barrel," could outdrink her. Tian Tian smiled, "I didn’t expect Miss Xue to hold her liquor so well." Chengcheng smiled shyly, her cheeks rosy and charmingly radiant. Tian Tian snorted lightly and stood up, "I’m going to the restroom." She left the room as she spoke. Having drunk too fast earlier, Chengcheng felt a tumultuous storm in her stomach. Apologizing, she grabbed her bag and rushed out of the room. This KTV, due to its proximity to the television station and frequented by celebrities, had excellent privacy. Xue Chengcheng walked down the dim corridor and was about to turn towards the restroom when she caught a reflection in the polished brass pillar and abruptly stopped. A woman was leaning against the wall with her legs wrapped around a man’s waist, kissing him passionately and heatedly. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on noveⅼfire.net That woman was Tian Tian, and the man—Xue Chengcheng covered her mouth. Though it was just a blurry reflection, she recognized them instantly. The CEO of Donghui Entertainment, Guan Donghui. So, they were indeed having an affair. All of Chengcheng’s previous suspicions were correct: this vile woman, outwardly so noble and pure, was actually such a floozy in private. She decided to turn back the way she came when she suddenly heard Tian Tian’s voice, "Why are you here?" It was seductive enough to entice anyone. "The company has an upcoming drama project, and naturally, we need to bring in some investors," the man replied nonchalantly. "So tell me, which ’fox’ is this drama prepared for?" Tian Tian’s voice was full of grievance but in a way that wouldn’t turn the man away. "What nonsense. This is a major investment; we are talking about hiring top-tier actors. At most, we’ll sneak in one or two female N roles."
