I Am Really Rich - Chapter 12 - Doing Whatever I Want in the Entertainment Circle

The noisy banquet was already filled with the sound of voices, drowning out the violin music.

Only here, the atmosphere was incredibly quiet.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman stood together, making a striking pair, but there was a hint of awkwardness between them.

After a long silence, the man spoke first.

“President Shi,” Wen Xiangling suppressed his surprise and smiled, “What brings you here?”

“Shouldn’t I be the one asking that question?”

Wen Xiangling chuckled, “What’s gotten into you, President Shi?”

“This banquet isn’t something you can just walk into, is it?”

Wen Xiangling raised an eyebrow.

Shi Xing looked into his beautiful eyes and said, “Besides business tycoons or famous celebrities, even minor actors need someone to get them in. How did you get in?”

He couldn’t have gotten in on his own name, as he was just here to report.

He had no contract, and no one knew he was an actor under the studio.

He wouldn’t have found another backer behind her back; a pretty boy wouldn’t have the guts.

-Unless he was the backer himself.

Wang Xueru’s words echoed in her mind, the features, and the encounter at the Longcheng Banquet.

And that ambiguous-

“President Wen.”

“Wen Xiangling,” Shi Xing narrowed her eyes, “What is your relationship with Huashi Media?”

Wen Xiangling laughed softly, “President Shi, you’re giving me too much credit. Huashi Media has nothing to do with a pretty boy like me.”

“Really? I seem to recall that Huashi Media also has a President Wen…” Shi Xing smirked, “Do you know him?”

Wen Xiangling’s smile faded as he looked at her.

Shi Xing didn’t speak, staring directly into his eyes.

The answer seemed to be on the tip of her tongue.

Finally, Wen Xiangling averted his gaze and sighed.

“Wen Xiangling, it’s time you came clean…”

Shi Xing’s words were cut off when she suddenly noticed the person in front of her swaying unsteadily.

She was startled and stepped forward to support him before finishing her sentence.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Wen Xiangling whispered, “I’m feeling a bit dizzy.”

“Wen Xiangling, you don’t think you can use such a clumsy trick to change the subject, do you?”

Shi Xing patted his cheek, trying to snap him out of it. But with that pat…

She suddenly felt something was wrong.

The Wen Xiangling who had been smiling and talking just moments ago now had his brows tightly furrowed.

His slender fingers pressed hard against his temples, leaning his weight against the marble wall, looking somewhat pained.

Shi Xing was alarmed, realizing this might not be a joke to divert the topic. She whispered, “What’s wrong?”

“Champagne.”

“What?”

“The champagne just now had something in it.”

“Champagne…? You mean the glass the waiter gave you?”

“Yes.” Wen Xiangling frowned, lowering his head and speaking in a deep voice, “There was something in the champagne.”

“…Drugged in a place like this?”

“Yes.” Wen Xiangling glanced around; the waiter was long gone.

When the waiter handed him the champagne separately, he should have been suspicious.

But he didn’t know who would dare to drug him in front of so many people.

And he didn’t know who had the guts to drug him.

“Should I call a doctor?” Shi Xing held his arm, “Or take you back?”

“Take me upstairs.”

“Hmm?”

Before Shi Xing could finish her sentence, Wen Xiangling leaned lightly against her, closing his eyes, and sweat began to bead on his forehead.

“…Since you’re really drugged… fine, I’ll let you off for now.”

Shi Xing sighed, rummaging through Wen Xiangling’s pockets until she found his room card, then helped him upstairs.

Wen Xiangling stayed in the presidential suite on the twelfth floor of the resort hotel. Shi Xing swiped the card to enter the room, helped him to the bed, and let him lie down.

She called a private doctor to come over immediately to check on him.

After making the call, she returned to the bedside to check on Wen Xiangling. But as she approached, she was startled and nearly dropped her phone.

“What are you doing!”

The handsome young man frowned as he unbuttoned his white shirt, revealing his fair skin.

His beautiful collarbone peeked out from under the shirt, exuding a sense of restrained allure.

Shi Xing’s shout didn’t wake him.

He continued to unbutton the second button, then the third, the fourth-

His fair skin was fully exposed, and his well-defined abs were within reach.

“What are you doing?” Shi Xing quickly grabbed his hand, “Pretty boy! Wen Xiangling! Are you okay?”

“Hot.”

“What?”

“Hot.”

“I’ll get some cold water…” Shi Xing’s words were cut off when she felt her wrist being pulled-

Their bodies suddenly overlapped.

Shi Xing’s face turned red, then pale.

The body beneath her was scorching, strong arms tightly wrapped around her, their bodies pressed together, even their heartbeats were clear.

Suddenly, a soft, low voice came through-

“Shi Xing…” he whispered, “Help me with my tie.”

“…Your tie?”

Wen Xiangling’s voice was low, “Help me with my tie, please?”

He guided Shi Xing’s hands to his tie. Despite his body being burning hot, his hands were still very cold.

He directed Shi Xing to grip his tie, letting the cumbersome tie slowly slide off his neck.

Then-

…

…

A crisp “slap” echoed in the room.

Taking advantage of Wen Xiangling’s momentary daze from her light slap, Shi Xing quickly grabbed his wrist and, with lightning speed-

Tied the tie around it!

The person beneath her didn’t move, and Shi Xing hastily tied the knot, making sure it was secure before finally getting off him with a sigh of relief.

Too dangerous, too dangerous!

Her rich woman persona, always untouched in the flower field-

Almost fell into Wen Xiangling’s hands.

“Shi Xing.” Wen Xiangling panted, looking at his bound hands, “Do you have this kind of hobby?”

“I don’t!”

“If you do, I can accommodate you.”

“I said I don’t!” Shi Xing snapped, “No matter who you are, you’re still my pretty boy right now. I’m the one forcing you, not the other way around. Can you get that straight!?”

“I’m really hot.”

“You’re really hot? You…” Shi Xing suddenly paused, “You weren’t drugged with that kind of stuff, were you?”

Wen Xiangling took a deep breath.

He turned his head, panting lightly, “Don’t worry, I’m already tied up.”

Shi Xing looked at him.

When she tied the tie earlier, she noticed he didn’t resist, clearly letting her tie him up.

Her heart softened again, “I’ve already called the doctor. Just hold on a bit longer…”

Before she could finish, there was a knock at the door.

“The doctor is here,” Shi Xing quickly got up, “Hold on, I’ll go open the door.”

She walked to the door and opened it. Before she could say “doctor,” she realized the person at the door…

Wasn’t the doctor.

The person in front of her was a girl, wearing a blue silk nightgown, her hair cascading down her waist.

Shi Xing was stunned and immediately frowned, “Guan Tian?”

“You… you…”

“What are you doing here?”

Guan Tian exclaimed, “What about you? What are you doing here?!”

“Because…”

“Why are you here!” Guan Tian’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Why are you in President Wen’s room! Why! Why!”
