My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 620: Retribution for Being Late 28

Bo Yan incredulously straightened Yuran’s body, meeting her pair of misty, large eyes, something flickering in their depths.

Feeling a tingling at the bottom of her heart from such a gaze, Yuran felt somewhat uneasy, her speech intermittent, "Qi, Qi Ge, why are you, looking at me like that?"

Bo Yan gazed at her exquisitely flawless little face, a smile forming, "The problem I considered, was indeed a bit narrow-minded."

Yuran shook her head, encircled his neck, and rested her head in the crook of his neck, rubbing slightly, "It’s not that, I just feel, you learning to like someone so late, how could it be possible for you to like Catherine? If you could have, you would have done so earlier, why wait until now?"

This was the trust given based on a deep understanding of Bo Yan.

Therefore, when Bo Yan asked that question just now, it had caught her off-guard.

Clearly, Bo Yan immediately understood her attitude, and this reconciled with himself internally.

In a low voice, Yuran said, "Qi Ge, if you have any problems in the future, you should question me just like today, don’t give me the cold shoulder or anything, I can’t stand that."

Bo Yan gently caressed her head, lowered his own, and kissed her, "Just now I was the narrow-minded one, sorry, it won’t happen again."

"It’s not about you apologizing to me, I understand your intention."

Yuran lifted her head, leaned in, and kissed the corner of her mouth, "So from now on, Qi Ge, you can’t give me the cold shoulder."

"Okay."

How could he bear to do so?

...

Catherine, upon receiving the ruthless call from Nick, was on the verge of collapsing, "Whose brother are you, exactly? It’s fine if you don’t help me chase after Yan, but could you at least not hold me back?"

Nick, overwhelmed with business matters and already exhausted, faced the frustration of having a careless sister, teetering on the edge of losing his temper. He lowered his voice and said just one sentence, "You don’t get to choose."

Staring at the disconnected call, Catherine screamed, yelling at her agent Linda.

"Did you snitch? Nick knows so much, was it you? Whose agent are you, or are you Nick’s spy? If you like Nick that much, go to him, what are you doing by my side?"

Linda was still holding the summons from the court; the great film star Bo Yan was suing her for defamation and slander. Linda sighed, placing the summons before her, "Do you see this? The great film star Bo Yan has no forgiveness or sentiment for you. He said he would sue, and he will, without mercy;

If you continue to stay here, do you know to what lengths the film star Bo Yan will go?"

Facing the summons laid before her, Catherine seemed almost in disbelief, shaking her head quickly, "No, Yan wouldn’t do this to me, clearly..."

Linda, "Still won’t accept reality, Miss? To Bo Yan, you might be even less than a passerby because he simply doesn’t care about you. If he doesn’t care, naturally, he won’t worry about hurting you, because, there’s no difference."

How can you expect someone who doesn’t care about you to care about your feelings?

Does Bo Yan seem like the type who would care for someone?

He does, but the object is not Catherine, it’s Yuran, the woman who bore his children, whom he spoilt into a princess.

He would even give up his own image, all for the sake of alleviating her grievances.

He could also make a call to Nick, commanding with a tone and threat that left no other options.

Nick still cares about this sister, that’s why he’s done so much. If he didn’t care, why bother with her welfare at all?

But Catherine was like a willful child, doing whatever she wanted, careless of everything, losing all her intelligence to a dog when it came to Bo Yan.

Linda was also feeling overwhelmed, as Catherine was too opinionated and independent, making Linda’s advice and warnings seem like direct challenges to her authority.

Linda had already decided that once this ordeal was over, she would resign. With her experience, she wouldn’t struggle to find another job in the industry. Having worked for Catherine for several years had left her feeling utterly drained.

Extremely difficult.

"You’re spouting nonsense," Catherine shouted furiously.

Her eyes brimmed with dissatisfaction towards Linda. She always felt that it was Linda who had said something to her brother that had led to the current situation.

It was all Linda’s fault.

Linda didn’t bother to defend herself. In a strictly professional tone, she said, "Since you don’t believe me, I won’t say more. But Catherine, you’re not a child anymore. You’ve grown up and you must be responsible for your actions. The great actor Bo Yan has said, if you insist on this course, don’t blame him for being rude. I didn’t want to tell you this, worried it would hurt you, but seeing your attitude now, I think it’s necessary to give you a heads-up."

"You’re lying."

Linda said nothing more. When she had received Bo Yan’s call, he reminded her that she could record it to play for Catherine.

And so, after the call, she had turned on the recorder. Now, the room echoed with Bo Yan’s voice, cold and devoid of emotion.

"Tell Catherine, my regard for her is limited to the help her brother once gave me. That’s all. The things she’s done over the years have more than repaid that debt;

If she doesn’t get lost, I’ll take matters into my own hands to make her get lost. As a young lady, she should have some shame. If she lacks it, I still need mine."

After hearing these words, Catherine’s face turned exceedingly pale. She had never trusted that the man, cold as moonlight, could say such heartless and indifferent words.

There had never been any "once" between them.

Sitting on the ground, shivering, Catherine felt indignant but did not reflect on her wrongdoing. Instead, she felt that it was all because of Yuran whispering in Bo Yan’s ear that he became so ruthless. In her mind, everything was Yuran’s fault.

Yet she didn’t voice these thoughts.

Just two hours after Nick’s call, she was pressed onto a plane back to her home country.

Catherine left in a disgraceful state, with the domestic media sensationalizing the event.

When Xi Gu saw the news, his brow twitched slightly, uncertain if he felt relieved or increasingly disgusted with Catherine. A girl who could put herself in such a position over a man was truly repulsive.

...

On Christmas, "City of Temptation" released a promotional trailer. With sleek editing and cinematic quality, the one-minute trailer captured the audience’s attention, leaving them eager to witness everything about the romantic relationship of two mentally disturbed characters in "City of Temptation."

The release of the trailer was understated, at nine o’clock at night, when most would be on dates and not paying attention to the internet. Yet it was precisely because it was such an inopportune time that the majority ended up watching it.

Liu Shimao, the male lead, also promoted it and even endorsed Yuran.

Yuran herself didn’t react much, but the great actor Bo Yan promoted it for his wife.

The influence of Bo Yan was undeniable.

It shot to number one on the trending topics list.
