Ten minutes later.
The phone rang again.
Shangguan Qing picked up her phone and glanced at it. It was a call from the Entertainment Gossip Studio. Without a second thought, Shangguan Qing pressed the answer button.
With a beep, the call was connected.
Before Shangguan Qing could speak, she heard a man on the other end of the phone roar, "Are you playing us? This video is clearly photoshopped! And the people in it aren't Wen Mingli and her assistant at all!"
Shangguan Qing was stunned. Realizing what had happened, she quickly said, "How is that possible? I hired... an international top hacker to produce this video. How could it be so easily exposed!"
"And! What do you mean the people in it aren't Wen Mingli and her assistant?"
Shangguan Qing impatiently hung up the phone, opened her email, and clicked on the video she had just sent to the Entertainment Gossip Studio.
Three seconds later.
Shangguan Qing was horrified to discover that the people in the video had changed, and they were now Wen Mingli and her assistant.
Shangguan Qing: "..." What's going on? How did it become like this?
Meanwhile, in the villa room.
Wen Yan's long and handsome fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard.
On Wen Yan's computer screen, dense streams of blue code scrolled by.
Watching this scene, the system excitedly leaped around Wen Yan's head.
"Yes, that's it! This ignorant human actually dared to scheme against our host! I should send her a horror video later! Hmph!"
Wen Yan's fingers paused on the keyboard. He raised his hand and touched his head. With a *pat*, the system was knocked to the ground by Wen Yan's hand.
The dazed system: "..." What's going on? Have I been exposed?
This thought scared the system into hiding in a corner where Wen Yan couldn't see it.
Wen Yan: "..." Why does it feel like my head was cold just now? So strange!
After a while.
Seeing that Wen Yan's gaze had returned to the computer screen and he was focused on typing again, the system breathed a sigh of relief.
"Damn! That scared me to death! I thought I was exposed! Phew! That was close!"
Two seconds later.
The system quietly floated back to Wen Yan's head and began to act presumptuously.
Downstairs.
Ming Li's hand holding her phone paused. She raised her eyes and swept a glance at Wen Yan's closed room door. The corners of her lips curved slightly, revealing a perfect smile.
Ming Li: "Not bad! This younger brother's hidden attribute is really good! He even knows how to play dirty, tsk tsk tsk! I like it!"
A Zi, who happened to look up, saw Ming Li's smile. He lost his grip on his pen, and it fell to the desk with a *clatter*.
Ming Li retracted her smile and looked at A Zi, asking in confusion, "What's wrong?"
A Zi raised his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth where saliva was about to drip. His ears turning slightly red, he said, "I'm fine, Li Jie. It's just... you're too beautiful. I was so stunned I couldn't help myself..."
Hearing A Zi's inner thoughts, Ming Li's lips twitched slightly.
"I'll go to the study to have a video conference now. You stay here and read your book obediently."
After speaking, Ming Li stood up and walked towards the study upstairs, leaving behind only a cool and stunning silhouette for A Zi.
A Zi stared at Ming Li's receding figure, lost in her gentle words, unable to snap out of it...
A Zi: "Ahhh!! Am I gay? This is so embarrassing! Will Li Jie dislike me?"
