Endless Fall

He held Su Tian’s hand and drove them to a nearby Chinese restaurant. “I’ll park the car. You can order first.”

“Okay.” He Qi followed the waiter into the private room. As soon as he sat down, he put his arm around Su Tian’s waist. “Baby, I feel terrible.”

“Why?”

“I want to hold your hand openly too.”

Su Tian frowned. “I’m sorry.” She flipped through the menu and said in a low voice, “I can’t do what you want.”

He Qi saw how troubled she was.

“I won’t force you.” He was already satisfied to have gotten this far. “Are you free tomorrow night?”

“I’m not sure yet.”

“Then I’ll wait for your news.”

Su Tian replied softly, “Take a look at it.” She handed him the menu and lowered her head to drink her lemon tea.

Gu Quan, who had found a parking spot, came in.

While waiting for dinner, she said to Su Tian, “Tian, I’m going to Bin City on a business trip on Friday.”

“When will you be back?”

“About next Monday.”

Three days was enough for He Qi to do whatever he wanted.

He picked up his phone and searched for a suitable place to develop his relationship with Su Tian on the app to prepare for Friday.

“He Qi?” Gu Quan called out to him again, “Who are you chatting with? Why are you so engrossed?”

“No one. What did you just say?”

“The dishes are ready.”

Only then did He Qi notice the delicious food on the table.

He turned off the screen. The discomfort in his stomach made him suddenly lose his appetite. “Excuse me.”

“The washroom is on the left.” Su Tian looked up and reminded him in a normal tone.

Even so, He Qi could feel her concern. “Got it.”

He opened the door and had just taken two steps when he was bumped into by a man in a baseball cap.

“I’m sorry.” The man was wrapped up tightly, leaving only his eyes exposed.

His sneaky look made He Qi, who had experienced inhumane torture in the boxing arena, extremely vigilant.

“Which private room are you dining in?” He Qi raised his guard and looked at him.

“Why?”

“Just asking.”

“The second last. Did I hurt you?”

“No.” He Qi turned around and left.

His strange behavior made Jiang Ye even more confused. He subconsciously classified him as someone mentally ill.

He did not pay attention to him anymore and walked straight to the second last private room before knocking on the door.

“Please come in.”

A female voice made Jiang Ye feel that something was wrong.

He hesitated for a moment before pushing open the door to see his ‘client’. “It’s you?”

“Are you surprised?” Jiang Yingna rested her chin on the back of her hand and looked at him with a smile.

Jiang Yingnuo was the daughter of the owner of Kai Yu Entertainment Company.

In the first half of this year, she met Jiang Ye at a banquet. She was infatuated with his personality and started pursuing him.

Unfortunately, he was unmoved.

After being humiliated, she stopped giving him help he desperately needed.

She originally thought that he would turn around and beg her, but who knew…

“What’s the point of doing this?” Jiang Ye took off his baseball cap and looked impatient.

“I asked you to come over to talk business.”

“Where’s the brand that I’ll be cooperating with?”

“They have something on at the last minute. I’ll negotiate it with you.” Jiang Yingnuo threw a document in front of him and gestured for him to sit down.

“Are you representing the brand?”

“Read the document first.”

Jiang Ye suppressed the frustration in his heart.

He roughly read the information about the brand. “Are they sure they want me to endorse it?”

“They’re still screening.” Jiang Yingnuo looked at the cup of tea that was specially prepared for him.

She pushed the teacup in front of him, her expression unreadable. “You can fight for it.”

“Fight for it?” Jiang Ye’s eyes were filled with sarcasm. “Miss Jiang, I don’t have a habit of using my body to trade for opportunity.”

The reason why he had been in the industry for so long but still a D-list actor was mostly because he was unwilling to do things under the table.

Jiang Yingnuo knew this very well.

However, she, who had everything she wanted since she was young, could not allow others to go against her wishes.

“Calm down.” Her voice was gentle and comforting. “I’m saying you can fight for it with your ability.”

Jiang Ye took off his mask.

He picked up his teacup and took two sips, trying to calm himself down. “I’m not taking on this endorsement.”

“Why?”

“I just don’t want to.” He was about to terminate the contract, so there was no need for him to get involved with Kai Yu at the last minute.

Jiang Yingnuo did not insist.

She calculated the time and chatted with him before the drug took effect. “When will you finish filming?”

“Does it have anything to do with you?”

“I’m one of the directors of Kai Yu Entertainment after all. Don’t I have the right to ask?”

She was using her status to pressure him again.

Jiang Ye had had enough.

He was furious, but he could not just leave like that. He could only answer truthfully.

“How did you find this film crew?”

“Online.”

“I thought someone helped you.” Jiang Yingna tried to sound him out.

How could Jiang Ye not tell?

With the cigarette in his mouth, he said sarcastically, “I’m not as capable as you.”

“Can’t you talk to me properly?”

“I’m afraid not.”

Jiang Yingna’s patience was challenged.

She looked at the time again and tried her best to hold back the urge to flare up. She found a topic to talk about. “Have you found your next drama?”

“No.”

Jiang Ye suddenly felt an abnormal dizziness.

He pretended to be calm and casually looked around the private room. “Where’s the menu?”

“I’ll ask.” When Jiang Yingna stood up, the screen on her back was completely revealed.

From the bottom of the screen, he saw a few pairs of leather shoes.

Jiang Ye knew that he was set up.

He pinched his thigh hard. While he could still manage to stay awake, he swiped open the screen of his phone.

“What do you want to eat?” Jiang Yingnuo flipped open the menu.

“Anything.”

“How about some dishes and soup?”

“Ok.” Jiang Ye’s attitude was still cold.

He opened the film group chat in front of her and waited for her to walk to the opposite side before flipping through the list of people who could help him.

“Do you want roast duck?” Jiang Yingna looked up, not noticing anything wrong with him.

“No.”

“Tomato brisket?”

“Another one.”

Jiang Ye’s fingers trembled even more.

He swiped past Yang Qifeng’s profile picture and clicked on the chat box below him before sending his current location and typing.

“I’m drugged.”

“Help me.”

“Stewed pork ribs with potatoes?” When Jiang Yingna’s voice sounded again, he was barely conscious.

Before Jiang Ye fainted, he used his last strength to put the phone back into his pocket and zip it up.

Seeing him fall to the side, Jiang Yingnuo quickly went forward to hug him to prevent him from accidentally knocking into something.

She shouted at the screen, “Come and help.”

Four burly men walked out in unison.

They carried Jiang Ye to the back door and into the car that had been parked there for a long time.
