Without Me

Yao Xi and Cheng Yazhe stopped in front of the impressive Bugatti Divo. The rays of the sun bounced off the shiny silver car body until Yao Xi had to squint her eyes. She knew right away that Cheng Yazhe was a type of man who liked to have all the best, but who did not like to stand out too much.

Cheng Yazhe used the autopilot to unlock the lock, then opened the passenger side door and with a gentleman's gesture, he invited her inside. When Yao Xi sat down and fastened seatbelts, Cheng Yazhe circled the car and sat in the driver's seat, and when he turned the key in the ignition, there was a low engine sound that reminded Yao Xi of the tiger purring softly.

Cheng Yazhe: "Where should I go?" He asked, looking at the profile of Yao Xi, who was staring at the landscape of the buildings they passed.

Yao Xi: "Peach Blossoms District," she replied in her usual, monotonous voice.

Cheng Yazhe hid the shadow of a loss that flashed in his eyes, with a forced smile. Until now, he hoped that the marriage of Yao Xi from Li Ye Han was just an ordinary misunderstanding, but when he heard the name, he understood that it was not. He knew this district. There were the most expensive estates that were inhabited by the ric.h.e.s.t people in the capital. He also knew that there was Li Ye Han's estate there, which only confirmed their relationship.

The man, however, had a strange feeling that the girl did not seem happy at all. However, he kept his guesses for himself, concentrating on the road ahead.

The girl sitting in the passenger seat was as silent as if she was not there at all. Cheng Yazhe gave her a few stealthy glances, but she did not move even a millimeter from the beginning. He only noticed how Yao Xi's muscles tensed as they left the crowded streets of the city and entered the suburbs.

Seeing the nervous attitude of Yao Xi, Cheng Yazhe finally could not stand it. Gripping his hands steadily on the steering wheel, he said in a seemingly casual tone: "You know my proposal is still valid. If you agree to join Moonlight, I can give you a business flat and a car with a driver. Just say the word and we'll sign the contract immediately and you'll be able to move in today. "

The interior of the vehicle was quiet. You could hear only the faint sound of the engine and the weaker sound of the air conditioning being turned on. This silence was pleasant to Yao Xi, so Yao Xi gave a small twitch when Cheng Yazhe's sudden words ripped her from her thoughts.

She frowned, trying to remember what he was talking about, and when she finally understood, she grimaced.

Yao Xi: "Mr. Cheng" shy said, not hide her irritation "Thank you for your help today, but it seems to me that I have already rejected your proposal."

Cheng Yazhe scratched his nose with embarrassment. What a soulless woman! Remembering that, she did not give him any face. Ahh ... And he risked his own life for such an ins.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e being.

Forget about it. She does not even know that his blood is flowing in her veins. This consciousness alone put Cheng Yazhe in a great mood. He did not mention Yao Xi about the transfusion, not wanting her to feel guilty. If she would agree to join Moonlight, he wanted it to be her voluntary decision. He did not want her to do it as compensation.

Cheng Yazhe smiled warmly: "Okay. Remember, however, that if you changed your mind, you can always call. Our doors are always open for you. "

Yao Xi: "I did not think that Moonlight would lose so much effort in recruiting someone who has no talent," she noticed cleverly, raising an eyebrow "I'm sure that I would not be of any use to you."

Cheng Yazhe's corner of mouth twitched in a charming smile. He created an aura of masculinity, seductive and s.e.xy, quite different from what he showed at the party: "And I'm convinced that my intuition does not lie. Something tells me that you are not as simple as you are trying to show. "

Yao Xi was speechless. Where did this certainty about her skills come from? Even today, she discovered this strange and mysterious composing skill and has not yet discovered where it came from. It is possible that it was just a one-time incident that will not happen again.

So how could Cheng Yazhe be so sure that she can do something?

Yao Xi left this topic. No matter what Cheng Yazhe thought, Yao Xi could not accept his offer, although she was extremely tempting, especially this business flat. She could then move out of Li Ye Han and finally free herself from him.

However, she could not, at least for now. She had to talk to her grandfather about the divorce first. And even if Grandpa agrees to her request, she still could not accept Cheng Yazhe's offer.

What was Moonlight? It was the second company in the country dealing in show business. They created celebrities of various specialties - from actors, singers and models, to outstanding composers and teenage idols. Many national stars have emerged from their wings, gaining incredible fame and wealth.

And who was Yao Xi? Normal girl; an orphan taken in by an influential family as an organ donor. What would happen if people found out about it? Her career would end sooner than it would have begun. So what's the point to start? Not to mention that she really could not do anything to let her debut at least.

She could be an assistant. She needed a job and money, so she could agree, but did the assistants get business apartments? Probably not. She was not sure whether she could rent a bachelorhood flat for the assistant's salary. Rather not.

Yao Xi preferred to look for something else. Even if the salary was high, she would have to follow the celebrity everywhere - interviews, banquets, photo set ... She would not have avoided it, and it would only be a matter of time before Li Ye Han found out about it. And Yao Xi was convinced that this selfish and overbearing devil would do anything to just make her life miserable.

So she had to find some low-profile job, so that Li Ye Han would not be able to discover it.
