Chapter 201: You Are Not Shen Zhiyao
Kang Naixin used to be just like that. Before they slept together, she was as arrogant as a princess, treating him like a slave and ordering him around.
But after they made their relationship official, Kang Naixin reined in her temper and was willing to do anything for him.
She was even willing to give up her spot on the show Qing Qing Wo Wo.
All for a single promise from him: "When I’m rich and famous, I’ll give you a hundred million a month, get you a huge house, and marry you, so everyone will know you’re Zhou Ye’s wife."
Zhou Ye said blankly, "I guess that’s how it was..."
He sighed helplessly and began to feel regret.
’Why did I have to be such an upstanding gentleman back then? Since Shen Zhiyao was unwilling, I should have just forced her!’
Zhao Jing continued to tempt him, "Seriously, I can tell Shen Zhiyao still likes you! I’ve seen her secretly looking at you several times. Maybe she’s just a little resentful because you dumped her!"
"Huh? Are you sure Shen Zhiyao was secretly looking at me? You’re not lying, are you?"
"Tsk, would I talk nonsense about something like this?"
"It’s not that I think you’re lying, it’s just... I’ve tried to get her back several times, but she ignored me and even threw me out."
"Hold on, I’ll give you an idea!" Zhao Jing cupped her chin and started to think, then something suddenly occurred to her. "Wait here, I’m going to get something good for you!"
After saying that, Zhao Jing hurriedly ran out.
Half an hour later, Zhao Jing came running back in a fluster.
"This is the key to Shen Zhiyao’s room. It took me a while to get it. And this is an aphrodisiac. Wait until 11:30 PM, after the cameras are gone, then sneak into Shen Zhiyao’s room and force yourself on her. Once she becomes your woman, everything will be easy!" After speaking, Zhao Jing shoved the aphrodisiac into Zhou Ye’s hands.
Zhou Ye looked troubled. "But I’m filming a variety show right now! If the audience sees us sleeping together, won’t my career be ruined?"
"Why do you think the production crew turns the cameras on at 9 AM? Isn’t it to give the guests some private space? As long as you leave before nine without anyone noticing, who’s going to know what you two did?"
Holding these items, Zhou Ye was overcome with excitement. "Sister Zhao, you’re too good to me! I really... I really don’t know how to thank you!"
Zhao Jing patted Zhou Ye’s shoulder, looking like she was happy to help. "It’s better to tear down ten temples than to ruin a marriage. I’m just helping destined lovers get together. No need to thank me!"
’What a joke. Why would I be kind enough to help Zhou Ye?’
’I just want his career to collapse as quickly as possible.’
’Shen Zhiyao is super popular, isn’t she? And she’s supposed to be such a great fortune-teller?’
’Well then, let’s see if she can predict her own downfall tomorrow!’
The biggest taboo for a celebrity is a scandal, especially when they’ve just started to get famous.
The Qing Qing Wo Wo show wasn’t over yet, and filming was still ongoing.
Zhao Jing went out of her way to find the director and suggest a surprise inspection at six in the morning.
For the sake of the show’s authenticity, the production team could keep it from the guests for now.
She could already imagine the production crew pushing open Shen Zhiyao’s door and discovering her in bed with Zhou Ye.
’What a spectacular scene that would be!’
’It might even grab more headlines than Meng Xiaoxiao’s disappearance!’
After all, juicy gossip about affairs between men and women always attracts more attention.
Zhao Jing was scheming against Shen Zhiyao simply because she hated her.
’She’s clearly just some third-rate internet celebrity who only got onto a high-profile show because of her sponsors.’
’And after getting on the show, she acts all high and mighty. Not only does she not respect me, her senior, she’s always going against me!’
’When Meng Xiaoxiao had her accident, Shen Zhiyao clearly knew I would be on the sea cliff where the production team was landing, but she didn’t warn me.’
’She just watched me cry out on the sea, letting me become the butt of the joke for the whole show and lose tens of millions of followers.’
’If I can’t win back the audience’s attention, my status at Mango TV will definitely plummet.’
’They might even replace me on the show I’ve hosted for years!’
’If Zhou Ye and Shen Zhiyao can cook up an even bigger scandal, it will divert a lot of the netizens’ animosity away from me.’
’So, no matter how I look at it, Shen Zhiyao cannot be allowed to leave this show with her reputation clean!’
As for Zhou Ye...
Zhao Jing glanced at Zhou Ye, who was grinning like an idiot while holding Shen Zhiyao’s room key. She figured that even if his career was ruined, getting to sleep with the woman he’d always wanted wasn’t exactly a losing proposition for him.
At that moment, Shen Zhiyao had already finished her three divinations for the day and waved goodbye to the netizens.
After Shen Zhiyao washed up, it was already 12 AM. The show’s cameras had been gone for more than half an hour, and it was now her private time.
She quickly turned off the lights, but she didn’t go to sleep right away. Instead, she sat cross-legged as usual and began her Cultivation.
The room had large floor-to-ceiling windows. Moonlight streamed through them, and a special kind of power blanketed Shen Zhiyao entirely.
Before long, a faint golden light began to emanate from her body.
Her current Cultivation was at the Middle stage Nascent Soul. When she reached the Late stage Nascent Soul, her lifespan would exceed 800 years.
Not to mention her combat strength would be immense; ordinary members of the Demon Clan would be no match for her.
She could also handle modern weaponry with ease. As for nuclear bombs and missiles, that was a different story, as she’d never tried to face them.
’But I’m a good, law-abiding citizen. I wouldn’t go up against the country.’
’Right now, I’m just focused on my Cultivation because I want to fulfill a dream I never could before.’
Just then, Shen Zhiyao’s ears twitched, and her eyes stared intently in the direction of her door.
From the door, which had been locked, came the distinct sound of a key being inserted into the lock.
The doorknob turned a few times, and then the door opened.
Shen Zhiyao stopped absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, and the room was instantly plunged into darkness.
Her gaze pierced through the darkness, clearly seeing a person tiptoeing inside and then carefully closing the door behind them.
’It’s Zhou Ye!’
Shen Zhiyao narrowed her eyes, a flash of disgust bursting forth.
Zhou Ye couldn’t see the room’s layout clearly and could only guess the bed’s location based on the arrangement of his own room.
He quickly sprinkled the aphrodisiac, climbed onto her bed with a lecherous grin, and mumbled, "Baby, here I come~"
THUD! A miserable shriek echoed in the room.
Because the room was well soundproofed, none of the noise escaped.
The room was very dark. Zhou Ye had no idea what had happened. He only felt a sharp pain in his forehead, and for a moment he was so dizzy he couldn’t even tell which way was up.
Shen Zhiyao’s cold, indifferent voice came from behind him:
"Zhou Ye, I originally had no intention of dealing with you. Breaking up with you on stage in front of everyone was just me keeping a promise."
"That incident affected your career, but if you had focused on your work and stopped bothering me, I wouldn’t have come after you again!"
"But you just had to provoke me again and again. Do you really take me for a saint?!"
Because of her anger, the air in the room began to stir.
The curtains began to shake violently, and even strands of her hair were lifted by a faint breeze.
The moonlight from outside shone in, illuminating the scene inside the room and allowing Zhou Ye to see Shen Zhiyao’s face clearly.
It was a picturesque face, but at this moment, it was overflowing with killing intent.
"You... You’re not Shen Zhiyao at all!" As soon as the words left his mouth, he suddenly remembered her looking at him with the same expression on the sea cliff.
It was just that later, he had a nightmare about being hunted down by Shen Zhiyao, and after he woke up, he had forgotten all about it...
