Chapter 47 - Tears ("Do you know some sort of
magic?") (1)

Chang Yuqi, standing on the coffee table that was
neither too tall nor too short, starting falling straight at Shen Mingyu. A few of the actresses had already covered up their eyes for fear of what might happen.

That included Xu Lisa.

She understood the meaning behind trust fall. The
game was supposed to play by an entire team
together. If one person fell, ten or so others would
catch. But, right now, Shen Mingyu was the only one behind Chang Yuqi. If anything went wrong, the only ones that they could count on were the two men that came with Mu Jungkook

Question was.... would they help out?

After spending some time with Mu Jungkook, she knew that he might be a vicious person, but he usually knew how far he would go. He wouldn't really allow this belayed gathering celebrating the start of their show turn into a bloody event.

Yet, there was still a small voice calling out in her head, but he was a villain! The one who had annihilated her in the original novel!

She didn't know which side of his she should rely on.

Which was also why she felt her chest tightened right at this moment.

With a loud 'BANG!', Chang Yuqi finally fell and
landed squarely into Shen Mingyu's arms.

Because of the force from the fall, Shen Mingyu wasn't able to catch her solidly. The two of them fell
backward a few steps and finally fell on their backs.

Everybody rushed up to see if they were hurt.

Luckily, Shen Mingyu helped Chang Yuqi up in a little bit.

The two of them dusted themselves and both of them were unhurt  everybody from the cast cheered the scene just now, as dangerous as it was, was also very exciting.

And now that those that were involved were safe.

Everybody could feel that adrenalin rush and that
caused everyone to be in an elated mood.

Such as the cold truth about the entertainment circle.

Xu Lisa let out a long sigh and looked back over at
Mu Jungkook.

Earlier, in the very brief second, she saw that the
two men standing behind Mu Jungkook were in an
alert state the entire time. Meaning that, the two very
strong fellas would never had let harms came Shen Mingyu or Chang Yuqi's way.

He had only wanted to teach them a lesson and
nothing else.

She walked docilely around everybody that were still cheering to where Mu Jungkook was and said to the director, "I am going to head out. You all have fun."

Everybody knew what that meant. When Xu Lisa
left Mu Jungkook would leave with her. The director
was only too happy about that. He nodded earnestly
and said, "Okay, okay. Drive safely and get some
rest when you get home. We will see you at filming
tomorrow!"

Xu Lisa nodded and walked closely behind Mu Jungkook  as they walked out of the door.

The two sturdy men walked them down to the
underground garage and took off from there. Mu Jungkook started the car quietly and took her home
with him.

The spacious car flew down the street as though it
could slice open the night.

Xu Lisa cracked open the window a bit and
could feel the summer wind blowing into the car. The
night was stuffy and there was a hint of redness in
the clouds. There was also an almost undetectable
humidity in the air.

There would probably be a thunderstorm not too long after.

The thought of the impending thundering sound made Xu Lisa felt uneasy. She initiated conversation
with Mu Jungkook in the otherwise quiet car. "Mr. Mu, how did you end up there?"

His voice was like a stick of dynamite, "What? Did I
interrupt something?"

Hearing that, Xu Lisa immediately pouted and
turned to face him, pulling out a long stretch of her
seat belt. "What do you mean by that? You know that
Chang Yuqi set me up on purpose and you even got
her back for me.... so why would you say something
like this now?"

"She set you up, yes, but you didn't have to fall for
it" He looked at her out of the corners of his eyes.

"You are a smart girl. You know what she was trying
to do. You were able to subdue Zhou Tzuyu with just
one hand before. So how come you didn't stand up to
Chang Yuqi? Or, you were hoping that something
would happen between you and that Shen guy."

"That was not true!" Feeling wronged, Xu Lisa's
brows furrowed into the shape of an eight (/\). "I
have my ways. I won't let him come into contact with
me!"

The car has already arrived at the bottom of
their apartment building. He put on the blinker. His
eagle-sharp eyes glanced into the rear-view mirror
and he quickly turned the steering wheel and drove
into the underground garage. "Even if he didn't come into contact with you, there will still be punishment if the tissue was dropped. What if his request was even worse?"
