How to Tame a God and the Lucky Beasts-Chapter 158 - 159: The Atmosphere

"Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap."

The sound of high heels hitting the tiles startled Ruan Xingwen, who had already closed his eyes.

He abruptly pushed Yu Xiaozhe away, averting his gaze, not daring to look directly at Yu Xiaozhe.

Yu Xiaozhe’s hands, hanging by his sides, also clenched into fists suddenly.

Too bad, just a little more.

Who exactly interrupted his good moment!

His eyes, filled with anger and impatience, looked towards the source of the sound.

"Oh, Brother Xiao Ze, you’re here too? Were you waiting for me~"

No need to say more; just hearing that deliberately bent voice, one would know it’s Zhang Yue, with Shi Mu, who looked a bit awkward, following behind.

Earlier in another corner of the restaurant, Shi Mu had arranged his plan, full of excitement at the thought of telling Zhang Yue his perfect arrangement.

But who knew, Zhang Yue turned hostile after hearing it, berating Shi Mu’s thoughts and actions unceremoniously.

There was obvious disdain in her words, meaning Shi Mu was merely an insignificant little celebrity and shouldn’t dream of clinging to Yu Xiaozhe to achieve overnight success.

Yu Xiaozhe isn’t someone Shi Mu could match up to!

But Shi Mu’s arrangement this time wasn’t to get involved with Yu Xiaozhe; he just wanted to use Yu Xiaozhe’s hand to ruin Ruan Xingwen.

Isn’t Yu Xiaozhe good to Ruan Xingwen?

Isn’t he protecting him?

Aren’t they inseparable?

Then let him complete them!

The medicine he gave the waiter today cost him a lot, causing him pain for a long time!

It’s not just an ordinary aphrodisiac.

If one accidentally gets a little on them, they must engage with another person to alleviate the efficacy, relying solely on willpower to get through it is impossible.

Besides the aphrodisiac effect, it also contains hallucinogenic ingredients, slowly destroying the user’s sanity until they become a slave to the drug.

Afraid of causing too much trouble, Shi Mu specifically asked the person who sold him the drug. The amount he purchased, besides being aphrodisiac, wouldn’t harm the body.

As for mental damage, a few days of rest should suffice.

So Shi Mu dared to openly hire someone to drug.

Originally thought Zhang Yue would support his plan, but he forgot Zhang Yue’s feelings for Yu Xiaozhe.

"No way!"

"You can’t touch Yu Xiaozhe; as for Ruan Xingwen, do as you please."

"But..."

"No buts! Apart from Yu Xiaozhe, I don’t care about anyone else; do whatever you want."

Zhang Yue’s attitude was firm as she prepared, in her high heels, to find her Brother Xiao Ze.

To completely crush Shi Mu’s hope, she left a sentence before leaving:

"If you dare touch Yu Xiaozhe, I will destroy you. Just try it if you don’t believe me?"

"...I understand, Sister Yue..."

Consider him sensible.

Zhang Yue looked at Shi Mu with satisfaction, "Let’s go."

And so, this scene of individuals meeting in the corridor occurred.

In fact, the two of them had already arrived while Ruan Xingwen and Yu Xiaozhe were talking but wanted to see what they were up to and maybe eavesdrop on the conversation.

However, they were too far away to hear anything they said.

Zhang Yue watched as the atmosphere between Ruan Xingwen and Yu Xiaozhe grew more ambiguous, just about to kiss, and couldn’t help it.

She pretended to have just arrived, squeezing between Yu Xiaozhe and Ruan Xingwen, forcing Ruan Xingwen to step aside.

"...Um, Brother Ze, I’m going in first."

Ruan Xingwen said this and then turned and entered the private room.

Zhang Yue saw how sensible Ruan Xingwen was and couldn’t help but smile in satisfaction, immediately moving closer to hug Yu Xiaozhe’s arm.

Who knew, Yu Xiaozhe seemed to have anticipated Zhang Yue’s move, stepping away before she could get close, and followed Ruan Xingwen into the private room.

Zhang Yue’s move missed, leaving her somewhat chagrined, and on the scene was only the unlucky Shi Mu.

"Cough, Sister Yue, let’s go in too."

Shi Mu quickly curbed his schadenfreude and spoke up.

Zhang Yue just "hummed" before turning and walking towards the private room.

Ha, another foolish woman whose brain stops working when she meets a man.

Shi Mu mocked in his heart.

Then he also entered the private room.

The atmosphere in the private room, which had originally been quite lively, suddenly froze extremely with the entry of Zhang Yue and Shi Mu.

"Yo, little sister, you really came, huh?"

Zhang He said with a smile to Zhang Yue, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes.

Then he looked at Shi Mu behind her and deliberately asked:

"Hmm? What’s your name again? Where’s that agent of yours? Why didn’t they come with you?"

Shi Mu’s forced smile became even stiffer. He laughed dryly twice and explained:

"Sister He, my name is Shi Mu. My agent is Sister Yue."

"Hmm? Really? Then who was that woman with you at the audition this afternoon? Is she your girlfriend?!"

Zhang He pretended to be confused; in the art of sarcasm, no one dared claim first place but her.

She looked Shi Mu up and down.

"Tsk tsk, young man, honestly, you two are quite the pair."

Shi Mu’s smile was about to collapse, but he managed to hold back, smiling as he explained again:

"Sister He, you misunderstood. That person this afternoon was my former agent, and after the audition, Sister Yue took over as arranged by the boss."

The implication was that he was innocent, as he couldn’t make the decisions.

Zhang He had a look of sudden realization:

"Oh! So, you had a new agent within those few hours! Impressive! With such potential, maybe next time you’ll switch bosses directly!"

Zhang He’s intention was to ridicule Shi Mu as a fence-sitter, but who knew Shi Mu’s brain worked differently.

Initially, he was somewhat angry because of Zhang He’s sarcasm.

But hearing Zhang He’s words, he was immediately overjoyed.

He thought Zhang He genuinely believed in his potential, considering signing him if given the chance!

It must be said, Shi Mu’s narcissism and high self-esteem were unmatched.

Everyone saw Shi Mu laugh shyly, saying:

"Thanks for the good words, Sister He!"

Others were a bit puzzled.

However, the arrival of these two indeed made it inconvenient for everyone else to continue their conversation.

Just at that time, the studio employees also arrived one after another, and Xing Yue’s manager came to ask when to start dinner.

Using this as an excuse, Ruan Xingwen and the others headed to the hall.

Yu Xiaozhe, walking, instructed the manager:

"Remember to follow the previous instructions."

The manager respectfully replied in a low voice, "I know, President Yu, rest assured."

Yu Xiaozhe nodded subtly, "Your bonus will be doubled this year, I’ll personally inform Ah Kai."

The manager’s brows showed delight, leading the way even more respectfully:

"Thank you, President Yu, please."

==========================

Mini Theater

Yu Xiaozhe dominantly pressed Ruan Xingwen against the corner of the wall, his slender fingers slightly hooking, gently lifting Ruan Xingwen’s delicate chin.

His thin lips parted slightly:

"Ah Ruan, do you like it?"

Ruan Xingwen’s cheeks blushed crimson, his heartbeat racing, and he unsteadily breathed out a response:

"Hmm?"

His mind was too chaotic right now; he hadn’t heard what Yu Xiaozhe said.

But little did Ruan Xingwen know, that questioning "Hmm?" was like a hook, luring away the last bits of Yu Xiaozhe’s rationality.

Yu Xiaozhe’s lips moved even closer to Ruan Xingwen’s scarlet ear, his voice even lower and hoarser:

"I said, Ah Ruan, I like you~"
