God Invasion: It's awesome to save the world with five problematic girls!-Chapter 1247 - 361: Far Too Temperamental (Part 2)

But in response to her inquiry, a cold male voice came from the other side,

"When are you coming back to Ying Country?"

"...Hmph, it's all your fault, uncle. If you'd given me the lead role in that movie, would I need to run to Linmen?"

The other side paused for a second, then spoke again, calmly and unfeeling,

"A new script came in today, and I've tentatively put you as the lead. So, finish filming the variety show and come back quickly. Cancel the rest of your schedule."

Hearing this, Lemon's eyes lit up.

She glanced at the tightly closed and empty resting lounge, then rolled her eyes, her voice turning sweet,

"Hmm... I think, uncle, you want me more than you want work, right?"

"Buzz... Buzz buzz..."

While talking on the phone, the light on the ceiling of the lounge flickered for a moment.

"Hey~ don't say it so harshly, I thought you gave me so many roles because you liked me, uncle. I like you a lot too~"

"..."

She said a few more sentences, her words sweet, but the girl in the dressing mirror occasionally rolled her eyes.

"Okay, then I'll head back right after~"

"Beep..."

Hanging up the phone, Lemon immediately stopped pretending and threw the phone on the table with gritted teeth,

"Tch, what a joke, Kubochi Tetsu, you old man, just arrange a supporting role for me if that's what it is, and you dare to call it the lead role...

"I bet you said the same thing to your latest fling? You're speaking to me so coldly today, without any emotions...

"If you dare ditch me, I will definitely spill all your dirty secrets."

She stared disdainfully at the phone on the table, then took a few deep breaths to adjust her expression.

After all, she still needed to attend the book signing later.

"Hoo..."

She took a deep breath and raised her eyes to look at the dressing mirror.

In the mirror, behind her, a black cat appeared, clutching a phone, eerily watching her.

A pair of green eyes, like a phantom ghost, sending shivers down one's spine.

"Yikes!!"

Lemon was startled and quickly got up to look behind her.

But there was nothing behind her, no black cat at all.

"...Was it... just my imagination?"

Lemon's face turned slightly pale as she scanned the empty room, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't see the black cat she had seen in the mirror.

Was it...

Was it an illusion?

Lemon swallowed and clutched her chest for a long while before sitting down again.

"Buzz... Buzz..."

The surrounding lights flickered once more.

"What a crappy place, such a big company, and even the electrical circuits are unstable..."

Lemon cursed with an unpleasant expression, then took another look around. After confirming that there was nothing else, she turned her head back to the mirror.

However, as soon as she turned around, she shockingly saw in the mirror, behind her, a boy in a suit staring at her without any expression.

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

Lemon was so frightened that her body went limp, and she fell to the ground, and this time, when she looked back, there was indeed a figure behind her.

This made Lemon's legs go weak, and she could only retreat frantically, screaming,

"Don't... don't come any closer! What are you?!"

"..."

The boy, or rather Yan Huan, raised his eyebrows, then squatted down and smilingly asked,

"If you haven't done anything wrong, you shouldn't fear ghost knocking at the door... What are you afraid of?"

"Huh?"

Hearing that familiar voice, Lemon immediately raised her head from her hands.

Seeing it was Yan Huan, she exhaled a long breath and forced a smile,

"It's... it's Brother Yan Huan? It's so late, why are you here? Did you just get off work?"

"..."

Yan Huan smiled slightly without answering, and instead asked,

"Was the thing with Bai Yi your doing?"

Upon hearing this, Lemon's expression shifted slightly as if she realized something.

But she still forced a smile,

"What Bai Yi thing, Brother Yan Huan?"

She smiled, but the smile on Yan Huan's face slowly disappeared.

"I remember back at the orphanage, neither I nor the teachers ever taught you to lie or frame others, did we?"

Lemon's face became increasingly guilty, and even her eyes started to dodge,

"I... I don't know what you're talking about, Brother Yan Huan... Besides, I'm about to start my book signing, if the staff come and see us alone in here, it might be... inappropriate..."

"..."

Seeing her still trying to avoid the issue, Yan Huan took a deep breath and rolled up his sleeves.

Lemon didn't know what Yan Huan was going to do, she only stared blankly as he raised his right hand.

Huh?

Wait...

This gesture... seems familiar?

"Smack!!"

The next second, Yan Huan slapped her right across the face.

Yan Huan's strength was not something Bai Yi could compare to; even though Yan Huan held back, the slap still knocked her to her knees.

"..."

Lemon held her face, her mind blank.

The next second, as she slowly realized what happened, she began to show a furious expression.

She turned her head towards Yan Huan, her eyes red with anger, shouting,

"Do you and your girlfriend have some sort of mental problem? Always resorting to violence?! Always hitting faces?!"

"Girlfriend?"

Hearing this, Yan Huan was slightly stunned, thinking, besides himself, who else ever hit you?

Yan Huan was unsure, so he just pulled a chair over, sat down, and looked at Lemon kneeling and breaking down in front of him,

"I'm telling you, Yan Huan! Don't think you can act like you did back in the orphanage!! I've... "
