Kiss of Venus: Chapter 54


Li Shen didn’t answer her but lowered his head to reply to Yu Wan. Xiao Dong stood to the side and shivered when she saw him acting this way.
    
Brother Shen can really keep his composure! Sister Lulu's face is so dark, yet he can still be as steady as Mount Tai!
    
"Li Shen, let me ask you, are you back with your ex-girlfriend?" Chi Lu asked with a cold face.
    
Xiao Dong perked her ears. Ex-girlfriend? Who else could it be besides Miss Yu?
      
….Miss Yu is his ex-girlfriend??
    
Xiao Dong, “.....” This is interesting.
    
After Li Shen sent his message, he put his phone back into his bag. He raised his head and looked up at Chi Lu straight in the eye, “Yes.”
    
Xiao Dong, “....”
    
Brother Shen is so manly.
    
“Fine.” Chi Lu angrily smiled. She turned to look at Xiao Dong, “Did you know about this?”
    
She had been busy working on creating the new boy group so she wasn’t able to be with him often. However, Xiao Dong is with him every day so he couldn’t hide it from her. 
    
Xiao Dong was paralyzed by her piercing gaze directed at her, “Sister Lulu, I only had a vague feeling…..”
    
“Vague feeling?” Chi Lu snorted, “I think you two are colluding to hide it from me!”
    
Her volume suddenly increased. Xiao Dong was frightened and quickly said, “Sister Lulu, calm down. I was wrong.”
    
“Where are you wrong? I suddenly remember those roses. They were for Li Shen’s girlfriend right?”
    
“.....”

One trick women usually used when quarreling––––bringing up old accounts. 
    
“Oh, there’s more.” Chi Lu turned to Li Shen, “I didn’t think you would bring Hu Jiao into this.”

Yu Wan was sitting in the VIP seat at Li Shen’s concert. He said Hu Jiao was the one who gave her the ticket. She even verified it with Hu Jiao and she was indeed the one who gave it to Yu Wan.
    
It’s fine if Xiao Dong doesn’t understand the severity of the situation but even Hu Jiao is telling them!
    
“I think you all want to piss me off!”
    
Right after she yelled, someone knocked on the door and opened it. The secretary stood outside and cautiously said, “Sister Lulu, the general manager is looking for you.”
    
“All right, I’ll be right there.” Chi Lu let out a breath and gave Li Shen and Xiao Dong a cold stare before walking out. 
    
As soon as she left, Xiao Dong slumped onto the sofa as if she had lost her soul, “Sister Lulu is really scary. She must have been dragged into a meeting. She will definitely be scolded and criticized.”

Xiao Dong felt that she is done for. Sister Lulu’s mood will definitely worsen after being blamed and will definitely not let her off. :)
    
In Li Shen’s case, the marketing account only has a screenshot from the WeChat Moments to make a fuss; it could not make a big splash. As long as the company and Li Shen officially deny it, this matter would naturally pass.
    
But what Chi Lu is worried about now is that Li Shen won’t deny it. He is dating behind her back, what else can he do?
    
After the meeting with Xingyao’s senior management, their stance is pretty clear. They can’t admit it and what is happening on the Internet will be handled by a team. At the same time, Li Shen’s Weibo is temporarily handed over to the company. 
    
In order to divert everyone's attention from this matter as soon as possible, the company also decided to move up the release of Color of a Flower. Originally, this song was intended for Li Shen to help bring up Li Chengcheng. Who would’ve expected it would be Li Chengcheng helping to cover Li Shen’s incident? 
    
It is an….unexpected gain.
    
Xingyao is very experienced in managing its idols and has its own way of dealing with negative news. Yu Wan watched this matter withdraw from the hot search and public attention changed direction. 
    
Just as she let this matter go, she suddenly received a call from Li Shen’s agent. Her greetings were very official and polite, but her tone was particularly cold.
    
Yu Wan was surprised when she heard it was Li Shen’s agent but calmed down right after. It’s expected that Li Shen’s company will contact her.
    
“Hello Miss Chi, what can I do for you?”
    
“I want to meet up with you. Do you have time today?”
    
Yu Wan looked at her watch. There are still two hours before she gets off work, but she didn't have much to do now, so she could ask for leave, "I can go now, where would you like to meet up?"
    
Chi Lu didn’t expect her to be so straightforward. She paused for a moment before saying, “The media has been paying close attention recently. Is it possible to meet at Yu’s private club?”
    
“Yes, I have a membership card there.”
    
After Yu Wan hung up, she didn’t go directly to Yu’s private club. Instead, she went home and changed clothes. Before leaving, she glanced at her drawer. She took out the pack of cigarettes she usually smokes and put it in her bag. 
    
When she arrived at the club, Chi Lu was already waiting inside. She remembered Chi Lu’s appearance and walked straight to her when she spotted her, “Hello, Miss Chi.”
    
Chi Lu raised her head and glanced at her. She had seen Yu Wan twice before. The first time, she wore professional attire, easily managing Hu Jiao’s wedding, looking capable and reliable; the second time was at Li Shen’s concert. She was wearing a casual dress, looking cordial and lovely.
    
Today she is dressed in a fashionable dress and heels with a designer bag on her shoulders, bearing an elegance and beauty resembling a celebrity.
    
Chi Lu laughed in her heart. It’s not surprising Li Shen would fall for her twice. 
    
“Please, sit.”
    
Yu Wan smiled. She pulled out a chair and sat across from her. 
    
Chi Lu’s eyes swept across her bag and unintentionally asked, “Hu Jiao gave you this bag?”
    
"Yes." Yu Wan said with a smile, "Miss Hu is a very generous client."
    
Chi Lu also smiled, “It seems that Hu Jiao likes you very much. She gave you a bag as well as a ticket to Li Shen's concert."
    
Yu Wan pursed her lips and smiled. Chi Lu took a sip of coffee, “I won’t beat around the bush. Miss Yu is smart and capable, you should know why I am looking for you today.”
    
“Is it about Li Shen?”
    
“En, you know Li Shen is at the beginning of his career. A simple screenshot on his Moments caused such a big response. If a relationship is exposed, it will have a big negative impact on him.” Chi Lu stated straightforwardly, “What the company means is that they hope for you two to break up.”
    
Yu Wan didn’t display any emotional change as she listened to her as if she had already guessed what she was going to say. After a moment of silence, she took out the pack of cigarettes from her bag and pulled one out.  
    
"Do you mind?" She held the cigarette in her hand and smiled at Chi Lu inquiringly. Chi Lu's face changed when she saw the cigarette case she put on the table.
    
She had seen Li Shen holding this brand of cigarettes several times. She had long recognized this cigarette pack.
    
Yu Wan picked up the lighter, lit the cigarette, and gently let out a puff of white smoke. Chi Lu smiled reluctantly at her, "Miss Yu smokes?"
    
"Well, but I don't smoke too much, only occasionally." Yu Wan smiled at her with the cigarette pinched between her fingers. "Li Shen doesn't like me smoking, don't tell him."
    
Chi Lu's face changed again. She pursed her lips, and her eyes became colder when she looked at Yu Wan, "Miss Yu, what do you think about what I just said?"
    
Yu Wan gently tap the ask onto the ashtray and looked up at Chi Lu, “Miss Chi, I understand what you are saying. I don’t want to hinder Li Shen’s growth just as much as you. But you’re his agent so you should have heard it from him before. I was the one who asked to break up with him last time.”
    
Li Shen never liked to talk about his relationships so Chi Lu didn’t know what happened between them before. That isn’t important, what’s important is now.
    
Chi Lu looked at Yu Wan, waiting for her to continue. Yu Wan took another puff, “When we broke up, I hurt him deeply so I don’t want to hurt him a second time. If you want us to break up, I ask that you do your work and have Li Shen break up with me. I promise I will cooperate and there will be no complaint.”
    
Chi Lu squeezed the coffee cup, “What Miss Yu is saying is that there is no room for negotiation?”
    
Yu Wan smiled, “That’s not what I mean. I just want to give the choice to Li Shen. Let’s leave this matter here. It’s unfair to him, isn’t it? Breaking up with him, I will only do it once in my life.”
    
Chi Lu looked at her for a while. Seeing as she isn’t going to say anymore, she stood up, took her bag, and walked out. 
    
Yu Wan watched her leave, put out her cigarette butt, and leaned back in the chair. 
    
She didn't know if it was right to do this, but she told Li Shen before, if they are going to break up again, he must be the one initiating it.
    
Once Chi Lu left, she drives directly to Li Shen’s house. Because the media was watching him closely these days, the company simply let him rest at home for a few days and waited for the release of Color of a Flower before resuming activities.
    
Lili, who was lying under the tree, barked when she saw her coming. Chi Lu didn't even look at her, and directly took out the key and opened the door to Li Shen's house.
    
“Woof woof!” It’s probably because Chi Lu’s expression doesn’t look good that Lili followed behind her and barked. Li Shen came out from the living room and held Lili as he gave her comforting pats, “Why are you here?”
    
Chi Lu snorted and looked at him, “Don’t forget, I’m still your agent.”
    
Li Shen wiped Lili's paws and led her into the house, "So is there any work?"
    
Chi Lu seeing that he is fine and became even angrier, “I just went to see Yu Wan.”
    
Li Shen, who was stroking Lili’s head, paused. He raised his head, his eyes sharper than before, "Why did you look for her?"
    
Chi Lu sneered. Every time Yu Wan is mentioned, his attitude would change immediately. It’s astounding how she never realized he and Yu Wan got back together. 
    
“I am conveying the company’s meaning and hope you two can break up.”
    
Li Shen’s eyes sharpened and his face sank. He stood up and asked Chi Lu, “It’s the company’s meaning or yours?”
    
Chi Lu narrowed her eyes, “What do you mean?”
    
“You understand your heart clearly.”
    
“I understand?” Chi Lu was so angry that she let out a laugh. She looked at Li Shen, her lips slightly trembling, “Whatever the case, you two must break up.”
    
Li Shen lowered his voice, “What if I won’t?”
    
“You won’t?” Chi Lu smiled, “Li Shen, do you really think you have a solid foundation? Do you believe me when I say that you will not be able to carry on in Xingyao?” 
    
Li Shen coldly said to her, “It’s up to you.”
    
Xiao Dong who has been eavesdropping on their conversation outside the door was in turmoil.
    
Why does she always encounter these types of situations?
