Chapter 238 The Domineering Older Sister Manager 24
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the heavy curtains, casting a few warm golden dappled patterns.
The liquid fell onto Liu Yunshu's loose hair, giving it a soft sheen.
She was woken up by her cell phone ringing.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes, a lingering drowsiness still lingering in them.
Liu Yunshu reached out to touch the phone on the bedside table, but before her fingertips could touch the cold body, Gu Yanqing grabbed her wrist first.
His palms were burning hot, still warm from the heat, and his voice was low and hoarse, almost a whisper: "Shall I take it?"
Looking at the three words "Lu Xingchen" displayed on the screen, Liu Yunshu shook her head slightly and picked up her phone.
She leaned lazily against his chest, her hair slipping down her shoulders, revealing the varying shades of marks on the side of her neck.
Like red plum blossoms blooming in the snow, dazzlingly beautiful.
Gu Yanqing's gaze fell on that mark, his Adam's apple bobbed violently, and a surge of possessiveness welled up in his eyes.
Shen Hanzhou, who was beside her, had already woken up. He just reached out and played with her slender fingertips, and pouted. Why did that green tea b*tch call?
"Feed." Liu Yunshu's voice was hoarse from just waking up, lazy and soft.
Lu Xingchen keenly noticed the unusual quality in her voice; it wasn't just morning weariness, but rather a languid, seductive air that came after sex.
Is it Shen Hanzhou or Gu Yanqing?
"Sister Yunshu, I brought you breakfast. Are you in your room?"
He suppressed the surging jealousy in his heart, softened his voice, and spoke with the sweetness unique to a young man, yet concealed a barely perceptible tension.
"Come over here, it's 1106."
Not long after, there was a knock on the door, a light and lively sound, full of youthful energy.
"Sister Yunshu, I'm here."
The voice outside the door was sweet and gentle.
She looked up at Shen Hanzhou and said, "Go open the door."
Shen Hanzhou frowned slightly, clearly unwilling, but his fingertips still subconsciously loosened their grip on her hand.
As she stood up, she glared fiercely at Gu Yanqing, her hostility in her eyes direct and intense.
It was as if he was warning the other party not to try anything while he was opening the door.
Gu Yanqing didn't even lift his eyelids, but tightened his arms around Liu Yunshu's waist, pulling her closer to him.
The door clicked open, and Lu Xingchen stood outside, holding a thermos.
She wore a clean white T-shirt and jeans, with a sweet smile on her face.
But when he saw the scene in the room, his smile froze on his face, and his fingers gripping the thermos tightened sharply, his knuckles turning white.
"You actually ate with Gu Yanqing! Have you forgotten who you're allied with?!"
Lu Xingchen smiled, but lowered his voice and spoke through gritted teeth.
Shen Hanzhou was speechless for a moment after being rebuked by his words, and his cheeks flushed red instantly.
"If Gu Yanqing cheated, then I have to intervene. Who told you not to be there!"
Lu Xingchen was stunned, completely speechless! Could this really be done?!
He leaned closer, looking at him curiously, "Was it good?"
Shen Hanzhou was taken aback by his question, looked at him in surprise, and coughed lightly with his fist to his mouth, "It felt pretty good."
Lu Xingchen imagined the scene, and his cheeks instantly turned bright red.
Her ear tips were burning so badly they almost bled, and she muttered in a low voice, "Next time... cough, you know what I mean."
Before he finished speaking, he had already stepped into the room, his gaze fixed on the bed.
Liu Yunshu noticed his gaze, lazily raised her eyes, still drowsy.
A playful smile curved her lips, and her voice was soft: "Xingchen's here. What did you bring for breakfast?"
The sound of "Xingchen" instantly eased Lu Xingchen's tense nerves.
He walked quickly to the bedside and placed the thermos on the bedside table.
She tried to put on a sweet smile, but her voice still carried a barely perceptible hint of grievance:
"Sister Yunshu, I brought your favorite crab roe soup dumplings and some hot Meiling porridge. I packed them in a thermos to keep them warm."
"Sweetie~ let me wash up first."
As soon as Liu Yunshu finished speaking, Gu Yanqing got up first, naturally picked up the bathrobe next to him, wrapped her up, and picked her up horizontally.
Liu Yunshu subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck, looked up at him, and a lazy smile appeared in her eyes.
She gently traced the sharp lines of his jaw with her fingertips: "Yan Qing is becoming more and more understanding of my thoughts."
Gu Yanqing lowered his head, his nose brushing against her loose hair, a low, husky chuckle escaping his throat, filled with possessive satisfaction:
"It is my honor to understand Yun Shu."
After washing up and having breakfast, the three of them had reached a tacit agreement.
Liu Yunshu called Lin Qin and instructed her to officially begin her attack on Xu Hui.
"After filming this movie, is Yan Qing coming to Tianyu?"
Liu Yunshu leaned back on the sofa, her fingertips casually tracing the rim of the warm porcelain cup, her gaze fixed on Gu Yanqing.
The morning light shone through the gaps in the curtains onto her face, making the mark on the side of her neck even clearer, like a flower blooming to its fullest in the dark night.
Gu Yanqing looked up at her, his gaze falling on the mark, his voice low and magnetic: "If Yun Shu wants me to come, then I will naturally come."
Shen Hanzhou and Lu Xingchen both rolled their eyes, their disdain undisguised, yet they knew the situation was already decided.
"It's all your fault! You said something about praising someone to death, and look what happened!"
Shen Hanzhou's complaints were typical of a young man's straightforwardness. As soon as he finished speaking, he glared at Lu Xingchen, his tone full of resentment.
"Now look what's happened! We've lured this old man directly to Sister Yunshu's side; it'll be even harder to shake him off later!"
Lu Xingchen shrank back, his ears still red from the retort, but he still retorted defiantly:
"How was I supposed to know he'd be so shameless! Besides, didn't you agree in the first place? Now you're blaming me!"
The two started arguing back and forth, their voices not loud, but filled with a strong sense of hostility.
Her eyes would occasionally dart towards Gu Yanqing, as if she were both provoking him and venting her dissatisfaction.
Gu Yanqing ignored the argument between the two young men, his gaze fixed on Liu Yunshu.
Her fingertips unconsciously caressed the inside of the coffee cup, her eyes revealing an unconcealable tenderness.
He spoke slowly, his voice low and husky yet penetrating, instantly drowning out their argument:
"I would be happy to stay by Yunshu's side, no matter what it takes."
These words struck Shen Hanzhou and Lu Xingchen like a heavy blow, instantly silencing them and darkening their expressions.
"Besides, I'm all alone, with no ties whatsoever."
Gu Yanqing raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping over Shen Hanzhou and Lu Xingchen, a hint of subtle provocation in his eyes, but his tone remained gentle.
When his gaze fell upon Liu Yunshu, a touch of tenderness lingered, "He can wholeheartedly accompany Yunshu and be at her beck and call."
Lu Xingchen's eyes lit up, and he chimed in, "Sister Yun Shu, I'm all alone too~"
The two of them turned to look at Shen Hanzhou, their eyes filled with undisguised mockery and provocation.
Like two drawn knives, they precisely pierced Shen Hanzhou's sore spot.
Shen Hanzhou's face darkened. So this was all aimed at me!
A vein throbbed on his forehead, and he slammed his hand on the sofa armrest. His youthful arrogance crumbled instantly, and he gritted his teeth, saying:
"So what if I'm all alone! At worst, I'll sever ties with my dad! Anyway, my brother and sister will take care of things."
The room fell silent the moment Shen Hanzhou said those words.
Liu Yunshu almost spat out the mouthful of Meiling porridge she had just taken a sip of.
She put down her spoon, raised her hand to rub her temples, a barely suppressed smile playing in her eyes, her tone languid yet tinged with a helpless indulgence:
"What nonsense are you talking about? You want to starve after cutting ties with your father?"
Shen Hanzhou, his neck stiff and his face still showing lingering anger, unconsciously softened his gaze as he muttered:
"I'd love to! You'll take care of me anyway, right? Right?"
Shen Hanzhou's words carried the stubbornness of a young man who was determined to burn his bridges, but the end of his voice unconsciously took on a soft, coquettish tone.
It was as if he was certain she wouldn't refuse.
Looking at his reddened ear tips and his forced toughness, Liu Yunshu could no longer hide the smile in her eyes.
He tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, his tone playfully indulgent: "Whether you break off the relationship or not, I'll support you, okay?"
Shen Hanzhou instantly became like a cat whose fur had been stroked; the arrogance in his eyes vanished in an instant, leaving only undisguised joy.
Even the redness at the tips of her ears became more pronounced, but she still stubbornly snorted, "That's more like it."
A hint of mockery flashed in Gu Yanqing's eyes, but he said nothing.
He simply reached out and tidied Liu Yunshu's loose hair, his movements natural and affectionate.
"Yun Shu cares about you, so don't be ungrateful."
"Mind your own business!" Shen Hanzhou glared at him, turned her face away, and her ears turned red.
Lu Xingchen moved closer to Shen Hanzhou, nudged him lightly with his elbow, lowered his voice, and a sly glint in his eyes:
"You're something else. You'd even betray your family for Sister Yunshu. That's ruthless."
"That's right!"
Shen Hanzhou raised his chin, his tone smug, but then frowned and glared at him fiercely.
"Isn't it because you guys forced me to this!"
While the two were whispering to each other, Liu Yunshu's phone rang again. This time it was Lin Qin calling.
She swiped to answer the call, her fingertips resting on the sofa armrest, tapping lightly.
Her tone instantly turned cold and crisp, a stark contrast to her previous languid and indulgent manner: "How is it?"
"Yun Shu, it's done!" Lin Qin's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.
"Evidence of Xu Hui's embezzlement of public funds and sexual harassment of newcomers has been anonymously sent to industry associations and several mainstream media outlets. The internet is now in an uproar. Tianyu's public relations team has also stepped in to create momentum through public opinion. He is now completely finished."
Liu Yunshu's lips curled into a cold smile, a sharp glint in her eyes: "Well done. Clean up the mess afterward, don't leave any loose ends."
"Don't worry, everything is arranged."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Yunshu looked up at the three of them, her gaze slowly sweeping over their faces, her tone returning to its usual languidness:
"Xu Hui's matter is resolved. From now on, you guys in the crew, behave yourselves and don't cause me any trouble."
"Understood, Sister Yunshu!"
Lu Xingchen nodded first, a well-behaved smile on his face, but a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Shen Hanzhou snorted in agreement, but his gaze towards Gu Yanqing still held hostility.
"We definitely won't cause trouble. Some people shouldn't take advantage of wanting to join Tianyu to cling to Sister Yunshu."
Gu Yanqing glanced at him indifferently, her tone gentle yet firm: "It's only natural for me to stick with Yun Shu."
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Liu Yunshu rubbed her temples, got up and stretched.
The bathrobe slipped off her shoulders, revealing a large expanse of fair skin, and the mark on her neck became even more noticeable in the morning light.
Gu Yanqing looked at him intently, his Adam's apple bobbing, "Take a break today..."
Shen Hanzhou instantly understood, cleared his throat, and said, "How about..."
Lu Xingchen's eyes lit up, and he enthusiastically chimed in, "Sure, sure!"
