Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 899: Their Private Space

Wang Chuiyang was drinking a lot of water.

Sheng Tang and William didn’t speak, their expressions particularly heavy.

Gu Shiting sat silently beside them.

After a moment, he reached out and gently patted Sheng Tang’s back.

Sheng Tang understood.

The two of them stood up and walked towards Gu Shiting’s master bedroom.

Gu Shiting closed the door.

"How are you?" He held her face, carefully checking her complexion.

Sheng Tang shook her head, her voice very low: "I’m fine, it’s just that I can’t easily explain my eavesdropping. You know, when friendships aren’t that deep, some things can’t be explicitly said. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

I speculated about various actions by Niu Yanran, and only realized she might mess with the drinks when she was bringing them over.

At that moment, it was too late to let her notice anything. After all, she was responsible for the organization. If she sensed anything and used the crowd to her advantage to hold us up, the three of us wouldn’t be able to escape and would be caught red-handed by the narcotics police."

That was her consideration at the time.

If she left too early and Niu Yanran’s plan fell through before it formed, she would still act next time.

Sheng Tang didn’t know who exactly she was targeting or what the plan was, making it impossible to guard against.

Survival in the entertainment industry is brutal.

Even though Sheng Tang hadn’t offended Niu Yanran, her position already occupied many resources of other actresses.

Her unintentional advantage could very well have made Niu Yanran resentful.

Of course, the most likely person to have offended Niu Yanran was Wang Chuiyang, with whom she had a dispute during the script reading meeting.

That was indeed the case.

There were too many people in the room at the time. If Niu Yanran noticed something was off and found any excuse to stall Sheng Tang and the others, Sheng Tang wouldn’t be able to fight her way out.

There were so many paparazzi outside.

If she dared to make a move, she’d definitely hit the gossip headlines the next day.

This would harm her career and public image.

So Sheng Tang had to pretend to be unaware, planning to retreat first and settle scores with Niu Yanran later.

And she did handle it well.

Not long after they left, the narcotics police arrived.

If Wang Chuiyang got caught, not only would he have to go to prison, but the police would also make a report, ruining her career completely.

She had just won the Qinglan Award for Best Actress last year and at only twenty-five or twenty-six, was at the peak of her career.

"If anything like this happens in the future, call me directly." Gu Shiting was still holding her face, "Were you scared tonight?"

He didn’t wait for Sheng Tang to answer, lightly pecking her lips.

Sheng Tang held onto his arm.

Gu Shiting caught a faint whiff of alcohol from her lips, somewhat intoxicated: "How about we make an excuse to go buy something and stay at the hotel next door, giving them the room?"

"There are a lot of paparazzi around here; if we got blocked at the hotel, Brother Fei would kill me." Sheng Tang laughed.

She patted his hand, signaling him to let her go.

Gu Shiting loosened his grip but then pulled her into his arms forcefully, holding her.

He lifted her up, and they sat down on the chair.

Gu Shiting sat her on his lap, making Sheng Tang feel like a child, quite unnatural and wanting to break free.

But he wouldn’t let her.

He didn’t speak either, just buried his head in her neck, enjoying the moment’s peace.

Sheng Tang didn’t know what to say either.

They leaned on each other.

After a moment, Gu Shiting finally let her go.

He stood up, opened his master bedroom’s safe, took out a small box, and handed it to Sheng Tang.

Sheng Tang opened it and was dumbfounded.

It was actually a gun.

"This is..."

"For your protection!" Gu Shiting said, "Do you know how to shoot?"

"Possessing firearms illegally is against the law." Sheng Tang said seriously, "I’m on set every day, and if I accidentally got photographed by the paparazzi, I’d be done for."

Gu Shiting: "..."
