The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 638 - 636: Stay Away from Lu Beichen

Tong Ji Yuan entered the venue with a smile, and many people came up to greet him along the way. In recent years, Tong Ji Yuan had established quite a reputation in the political arena, attracting many who sought to curry favor. However, when they saw him accompany the rising star Ji Niandong, their expressions varied.

Ji Niandong tightened her grip on his arm. Despite being a public figure, she was uncomfortable under the scrutiny of so many eyes.

Tong Ji Yuan leaned toward her and whispered in her ear, "Don’t be nervous, nothing will happen."

To others, this gesture appeared extremely intimate and full of ambiguity.

A smile of success spread across Tong Ji Yuan’s face, but the next moment, it faltered when he saw Lu Beichen and his female companion.

Ji Niandong clearly noticed his change and followed his gaze, her expression growing more stiff.

Lu Beichen frowned as he looked at her, finally fixing his gaze on the hand she had wrapped around Ji Niandong’s arm. Subconsciously, she tightened her grip a little more.

Tong Ji Yuan snapped back to reality with her movement, then resumed a faintly smiling, indifferent demeanor, striding toward Lu Beichen and the others. He reached out his hand, "Beichen, long time no see."

Lu Beichen also extended his hand, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth, "Long time no see. Mrs. Lu has been well taken care of by you these days, it seems."

As Lu Beichen spoke, his gaze fell on Ji Niandong, "I want to have a few words with my wife; I suppose you wouldn’t mind, would you?"

Tong Ji Yuan withdrew his arm, making a gesture that implied help yourself.

Ji Niandong frowned briefly before being pulled away by Lu Beichen in the next moment.

An Lin also turned around, walking alone toward an empty corner. As soon as she settled down against the wall and exhaled a sigh of relief, a tall figure suddenly loomed over her, pinning her in place.

"What are you doing?!" An Lin’s eyes widened in shock, wanting to escape, but the person before her blocked her escape with a kabedon posture, giving her no chance to get away. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

He bore a cold smile on his indifferent face, and his words were even more provoking, "Shouldn’t I be asking you that? Who allowed you to come here as Lu Beichen’s companion? Hmm?"

An Lin frowned unhappily, "I came of my own will." She gave him a shove, realizing it was futile, and finally gave up the notion, casting a glance inside and asking calmly, "Young Master Tong, aren’t you afraid of being seen—hiding here with a third-rate actress, hmm?"

Tong Ji Yuan, instead of getting angry, laughed. His smile always carried an icy undertone now, "An Lin, don’t you understand yet? Why did I bring Ji Niandong here? Besides being Lu Beichen’s wife, in others’ eyes, she’s just an actress. I’m merely testing people’s reactions. Don’t you realize I’m doing this for you?"

An Lin’s body shuddered slightly, leaning back tightly against the wall, "Do you think I’d believe you now?"

"An Lin, I admit I was wrong back then. In this regard, I’m indeed not as good as Lu Beichen. I shouldn’t have forced you to stay out of the entertainment industry; I should have been like him, taking charge of everything for you in the industry. That way, we wouldn’t be where we are today, right?"

An Lin’s eyes reddened as she stared at him intently.

Tong Ji Yuan reached out to touch her face, "An Lin, how could I not want you? You have no idea how much I’ve missed you every night for the past four years."

An Lin’s heart felt as if it had been struck, heavy with pain.

"Listen to me, stay away from Lu Beichen, okay?"
