The Cold-hearted CEO's Unwanted Bride-Chapter 5 - Is the Green Hat on Your Head Not Enough?

The next morning.

When Yanyan received a call from Shi Muzhou, a layer of fluffy rain began to drizzle from the sky, turning the weather inevitably chilly. As soon as Shi Muzhou got into the car, he started complaining, "You really know how to drag your feet. Made me stand in the cold wind for over ten minutes. Do you have any awareness that I'm a big star, huh?"

Yanyan glanced at Shi Muzhou. She had been classmates with him for four years in college and never thought that someone she was so close to would one day be famous all across Jiang Nan.

He was wearing a punk-style jacket over a pair of Dr. Martens, his pale face with attractive features, exuding charm and elegance, especially when he smiled, which felt like a breath of spring. There was even a dimple on his right cheek, which was an absolute killer feature.

Yanyan wasn't fooled by his appearance, and gave a nonchalant smile.

Shi Muzhou raised his eyebrows and said loudly, "Is this the attitude you have when you're asking me to endorse your product? Huh?! If we weren't close, I wouldn't have come. Just seeing your husband's face annoys me. It's bad enough that I have to see him flaunting his affair with that mistress in various newspapers and magazines all the time, and now you want me to witness it up close?"

Yanyan knew that Shi Muzhou was talking about Tang Tian because the endorsement for Luo Shen Bay wasn't just Shi Muzhou's role. She was used to Shi Muzhou's bluntness and so didn't get angry.

Driving earnestly, she said softly, "Big brother, I was just a few minutes late, right? Can you stop picking on me, please? I'm driving here!"

Shi Muzhou huffed and let it go, seeing that Yanyan had softened up, then changed the subject.

The place where they were meeting wasn't far from Luo Shen Bay. When they got there, there was no sign that the rain would stop, nor did it get any heavier; it just continued to fall gently.

As Yanyan reached to open the car door, Shi Muzhou said, "Wait a second, let me go around and give you a hand. If you fall later on, it will reflect badly on your Brother Shi's image."

As he spoke, he got out of the car, walked quickly to Yanyan's side, and held her as he escorted her out of the car.

Yanyan, in high heels, leaned on Shi Muzhou's arm resting on her shoulder. He shut the car door with his other hand and said with a smile, "Tsk tsk, Brother here is supporting you, dear Yanyan, are you moved?"

Yanyan's eyes crinkled with a smile as she said, "Shi Muzhou, please have some dignity, okay? The media will see us if we keep walking this way..."

The two were teasing each other, forgetting about the setting.

Bo Yunshen had just gotten out of his car when he witnessed this scene.

It had been three years, and this was the first time Bo Yunshen had seen Yanyan from such a close distance.

She was wearing a pink and white suit, the cinched waist design emphasizing her slender figure to perfection. The color complemented her complexion, especially her skin, making it appear all the more white and lustrous, like ice and jade.

Her hips were enveloped by the pink and white skirt, her legs slender and graceful. Leaning into Shi Muzhou's embrace, she appeared reliant and feminine, and her radiant, almost enchanting face was irresistibly charming.

Standing next to the man who swept the nation off its feet, she didn't show even a hint of being overshadowed. Instead, they complemented each other, like a pair of perfect statues.

Bo Yunshen's thin lips twisted slightly. It seemed that three years of solitary confinement had not affected her quality of life at all. Even Shi Muzhou, such a big star, she had managed to charm! Her skills at seducing men were becoming more and more sophisticated!

Yanyan was not strong enough to break free from Shi Muzhou's embrace and was about to scold him when a woman's clear cough came from the side.

Both turned to look over.

Yanyan was taken aback when she saw Bo Yunshen.

He stood by the car, tall and lean, his face still flawless. The black suit hugged his body, accentuating his smooth, strong lines. His legs, encased in suit trousers, appeared long and straight, poised for action.

Yanyan's fingers involuntarily clenched together. Although she often saw him in newspapers and on television, in person, he seemed even more mature and composed, like the clear breeze after the rain.

He stood still, making everyone else seem like mere background to his presence.

But the words he uttered were not so endearing, "Director Qin is truly capable, hugging and cuddling with Superstar Shi at Luo Shen Bay. I suppose it's all part of the promotion for Luo Shen Bay. Should I go back and apply for an Employee of the Year award for Mr. Qin?"

The word "capable" was pronounced with emphasis, making it sound sarcastic and cutting.

Yanyan blinked, her smile becoming extremely formulaic. Before she could speak, Tang Tian, who had gotten out of the car with Bo Yunshen, sidled up to him, taking his arm and said with a show of triumph, "Yunshen, the opening ceremony is about to begin, let's go inside. I don't want to stand in the rain."

Tang Tian's voice was pinched, oozing with coquettish charm as she glanced over at Yanyan, her provocations clear.

Clearly, Tang Tian still harbored resentment from being told to lose twenty pounds by Yanyan.

Logically, with Mrs. Bo present, Bo Yunshen should not have agreed, but he didn't seem to care about giving Yanyan any face. He slid his arm around Tang Tian's waist, bending slightly towards her and murmured coyly, "As you wish, watch your step, it's slippery."

After they had gone, Shi Muzhou's face darkened as he said, "Your husband really is a piece of work! Are you keeping him around because you don't think you have enough green hats on your head?"

Yanyan laughed briefly then pushed Shi Muzhou, saying, "You'd better hurry on. Bo Yunshen entered with Tang Tian, if you come in with me now, tomorrow's entertainment headlines will be about our suspected divorce. This isn't promotion; it's like smashing the signboard of Luo Shen Bay!"

Shi Muzhou curled his lip and, taking Yanyan's hand, pulled her onto the red carpet, "Who in our circle doesn't know about our relationship? If you ask me, you should find a few young hunks. If Bo Yun acts on the first, you act on the fifteenth!"

Unable to resist Shi Muzhou and having already stepped onto the red carpet, Yanyan adopted an attitude of making the best of the situation and walked in with him.

Just as she had expected, Bo Yunshen and Tang Tian attracted a lot of attention upon their arrival. From a distance, Yanyan saw that the reporters' cameras were almost all focused on them.

By contrast, watching from her side, Shi Muzhou, who was much more famous than Tang Tian, seemed to lack popularity.

Since she was directly following behind Bo Yunshen and Tang Tian, Yanyan could also see Tang Tian clinging to Bo Yunshen without any sign of stage fright.

Her standing position, both publicly and privately, should have been Yanyan's, and the media naturally didn't want to miss such a sensational headline.

"Miss Tang, is it true that you spent the night with Young Mr. Bo at Hai Wan Xiang Xie?"

"Miss Tang, now that you've joined the ranks of the prostitutes, what are your thoughts?"

Yanyan didn't need to see their faces to know which reporters were asking these questions; after all, these were the people she had invited for Luo Shen Bay's promotion. She patiently waited with Shi Muzhou for a while.

But eventually, the fire reached Yanyan. Someone shouted, "Mrs. Bo has arrived."

The reporters turned as one and surged toward Yanyan.
