Gu Mohan was too exhausted. It was already five in the morning, less than an hour until the sun rose completely into the sky. He wanted to rest for a bit, but he was afraid that she would escape again. Only by hugging her would he have a sense of peace.
He was terrified that once he opened his eyes, she would disappear again.
Tang Mo’er’s heart was feeling complicated, filled with a combination of resentment, hatred and a little bit of grievance and helplessness.
Her soft and tired body was pulled into his arms, his charming body scent had enveloped her like a net. She couldn’t escape despite trying everything she could.
In fact, forget escaping. She couldn’t even extricate herself from his arms. The way he was holding her was firm and overbearing, holding her captive even while he was asleep.
Another thought crossed her mind and her eyelashes were suddenly wet and trembling. Once again, she found herself crying in his arms. Holding her captive was his way of expressing his love for her, he only wanted her to stay by his side.
Unknowingly, she had somehow become an obsession of his.
…
At the engagement banquet.
Fu Qinglun held a glass of red wine in his hand, swirling it around as his other hand was placed in his trouser pocket. He was in the middle of a conversation with the businessman beside him when his secretary, Bei Chuan, made his way over.
“President.”
The person he was speaking to was smart enough to bid Fu Qinglun farewell and left.
Fu Qinglun pursed his lips elegantly, asking, “What’s the matter?”
“President, Lion’s representatives have given us an answer. He has agreed to become Miss Lu Qi’er’s exclusive composer.”
Not too long ago, Fu Qinglun had already discovered the ever mysterious Lion. He had put the word out that Lion would only have two choices, to either sign the contract or disappear from the industry, he held a tough stance.
There wasn’t a lack of talented people on earth. Fu Qinglun had absolute power in Karghalik and anyone who offended him could be easily gotten rid of. No one was indispensable.
No matter how mysterious Lion was, he didn’t even need half a month to find him.
If he wouldn’t succumb to the threat and make himself useful, Fu Qinglun would could only choose to… destroy him.
Fu Qinglun swirled the red wine glass thoughtlessly, speaking with a deep voice, “What terms does Lion have?”
“Lion has asked for an exorbitant remuneration package,” Bei Chuan reported.
“Oh?”
“Lion has requested 30 million dollars for each song composed. Assuming that a typical album consists of ten songs, that would be…300 million dollars. President, Lion has inquired if you would be willing to spend 300 million dollars on Miss Lu Qi’er?”
Lion would be able to produce a custom-made album for Lu Qi’er exclusively, but it would cost 300 million dollars.
Fu Qinglun’s thin lips formed an indifferent arch. “Who would have such audacity to request for 300 million dollars? Lion must be the first to do so. That’s such a large sum of money, is he confident he can swallow everything and not choke to death?”
“President, Lion has assured us that the 300 million dollars will definitely be worth it. If you’re unwilling to spend such money, he would rather disappear from the industry than to sign a contract with Miss Lu Qi’er.”
“Ha.” Fu Qinglun forced a sinister laugh out of his throat, his modest aura had completely transformed into one that was very dangerous.
Paying 300 million dollars…
“Qinglun.” Lu Qi’er walked over, her beautiful face was full of joy. “Did Lion’s representatives reply?”
“Yes, Miss Lu. Lion has agreed to produce an exclusive album for you, but it will cost 300 million dollars.”
Bei Chuan revealed the news to Lu Qi’er with no expression. Even so, a secretary, he was also curious about what Miss Lu Qi’er’s reaction would be like.
Since her debut, Miss Lu’s entertainment career was fully dependent on Fu Qinglun’s efforts.
Miss Lu was engaged to Gu Mohan. The Lu’s or Gu’s would easily be able to fork out 300 million dollars. But, if she were to need Fu Qinglun to spend 300 million dollars on her, surely this was inappropriate and somewhat excessive.
