A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 2380 - 1598: The Entertainment Circle Is a Mess

Duanmu Huai’s breakfast was simple: bread, fried eggs, and milk. In theory, eating such a meal shouldn’t take more than a few minutes.

But for Chi Yin, this turned out to be the longest breakfast of her life. She kept her head down, staring at the fried egg in front of her, but had no appetite at all. On the other hand, Duanmu Huai finished his breakfast in a few bites, then gulped down his milk and placed the cup on the table with a "thud."

Hearing this sound, Chi Yin’s body trembled slightly, as if she were a defendant about to receive a verdict in court.

"Alright, Chi Yin, you don’t need to be so nervous."

Seeing Chi Yin looking as if she was about to commit suicide out of guilt, Duanmu Huai felt compelled to speak.

"We’re both girls, and it’s not like you’re going to get pregnant. What’s there to be nervous about?"

"Then, then is Xiao Ai not angry with me?"

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Chi Yin cautiously raised her head to look at the girl in front of her.

"Not at all. Initially, I was a bit surprised, but I also figured that you weren’t in the best state at that time, right? Besides, I wasn’t the one who ended up at a disadvantage."

"Ugh......"

At this point, Chi Yin recalled how last night she was like a chicken on the chopping block, being toyed with by the other party. Although her memories were a bit fuzzy due to the excitement, even the vague recollections—well, she was indeed only brave at the beginning, and later on, she was entirely subdued.

"Xiao Ai, you...... are into that...... kind of thing?"

Recalling the events of last night, Chi Yin asked somewhat tremulously.

After all, the other’s techniques were too proficient for it to be a first-time experience.

"If I must say, I do like girls. There’s no way I could like men, right."

Duanmu Huai confidently declared that liking men would definitely be problematic, unlike that promiscuous Obsessive Sin.

"Oh, is that so......"

"But Chi Yin, you shouldn’t worry anymore; that seemed like some kind of Curse, right? It’s clear now, and I don’t think it will be a problem going forward."

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Yin anxiously looked at her wrist, only to find that the tentacle mark that was once there had vanished completely. Not only that, but the half-asleep feeling that had wrapped around her the past couple of days was gone too; she felt much more alert.

"So that’s it; just consider yesterday’s incident as a drunken mistake, then......"

"Ring ring ring......"

Before Duanmu Huai finished speaking, he was interrupted by a sudden ringing of his phone. He took a look at it, then his expression turned serious as he stood up.

"Chi Yin, take a good rest today, or you could go for training. It’s up to you."

"Ah, okay, what about you, Xiao Ai......?"

"I have something important to handle first."

Saying this, Duanmu Huai waved his phone at Chi Yin.

"Alright, see you later."

Leaving those words behind, Duanmu Huai turned and walked out the door, leaving Chi Yin sitting there stunned, unsure how to react.

And over here......

"Wow—finally managed to get past it!"

Walking out of the room, Duanmu Huai let out a long sigh.

After all, thinking carefully, this was really no different from those martial heroes stories of drugging the heroine and then taking advantage! Luckily, Chi Yin was a well-behaved child, shocked too much to respond immediately. If it were someone else, it wouldn’t have been so easy to gloss over!

But Chi Yin’s figure was really nice, and being a stage actress, she’s quite flexible, capable of doing various difficult poses...... Hmm, Duanmu Huai did get a lot of enjoyment out of that.

After all, some moves...... are just too dangerous for ordinary girls, might even cause ligament tears.

Too bad I can’t casually record this, but if it were like the works I often watch, this is where you’d take pictures of the other person, then go "hehehe, you wouldn’t want this scene of yours posted online, right?"...... Well, since Chi Yin is honest and earnest, maybe it would work?

But unfortunately, Duanmu Huai can only think about it now.

With these exciting thoughts turning over, Duanmu Huai answered the phone.

"It’s been a while, Chairman, calling me today—do you finally have news?"

The caller was none other than Mei PRO’s former chairman, Aunt Keiko’s husband, the missing—Saito Ichiro.

Well, strictly speaking, he wasn’t missing. While Aunt Keiko and Ruby always thought he was missing, Duanmu Huai knew Saito Ichiro’s whereabouts from the start.

It was after Xingye Ai was assassinated that Saito Ichiro swore he’d do everything to find the murderer; he simply couldn’t believe that the stalker was the real culprit. His reasoning was similar to Duanmu Huai’s: Xingye Ai moved houses before the dome concert, so the information couldn’t have been leaked. Plus, as the person most concerned about Xingye Ai, he had always ensured to safely escort her home, and was well-versed in anti-stalking.

Thus, from the beginning, Saito Ichiro believed there was another who attempted to assassinate Xingye Ai. Although he didn’t know who that person was, Saito Ichiro was determined to find that bastard and give him a lesson!
