Mu Yan took a breather outside for a while and returned to the private room, not seeing Zhou Lifen's figure.
Fan Youyou asked, "Where did you go? I went to the bathroom to find you, but you weren't there."
Mu Yan replied calmly, "I found a place to rest for a bit. Why aren't you singing?"
Fan Youyou showed a bit of embarrassment, "I'm tone-deaf, my singing sounds terrible."
Mu Yan looked at her expression and understood. Being tone-deaf might not be true, but lacking the social status to fit into that circle might be.
She glanced at her watch and said, "It seems to be getting late. I'm ready to leave."
Anyway, she had already completely fallen out with Zhou Lifen, so there was no need to stay here.
"I'll leave with you." Fan Youyou said.
Mu Yan and Fan Youyou left the private room, walked to the end of the corridor, and as they turned the corner, they heard a coquettish female voice.
"Mr. He, it's been a while. Have you missed me?"
Mu Yan looked up and saw Zhou Lifen standing at the door of the private room, coquettishly holding the arm of a pot-bellied middle-aged man.
"Baby, of course I missed you. You're still as beautiful as ever." The middle-aged man said with a smile, his hand lingering on Zhou Lifen's body.
Zhou Lifen seemed unaware, playfully chiding, "Mr. He, you're just trying to make me happy."
Fan Youyou looked at Mu Yan in shock, "Sister Zhou, she..."
Mu Yan remained calm, clearly unsurprised by this.
Zhou Lifen had an utterly goddess-like demeanor in appearance but mingled with wealthy businessmen in private, leading a very chaotic personal life.
However, none of this had anything to do with her.
"Let's go." She withdrew her gaze and walked forward.
But even if she wanted to remain uninvolved, someone was determined not to let her go.
"Mu Yan, are you planning to go back?" Zhou Lifen looked at her with a friendly face.
This immediately caught Mr. He's attention, and when he could see Mu Yan's looks clearly, his eyes almost stuck to her.
He smiled and said, "This young lady looks somewhat familiar?"
Zhou Lifen knew that men were always lecherous, especially when they saw young and beautiful girls.
She smiled, "Mr. He, you've met her. She's my stand-in, Mu Yan."
"Mu Yan, what a nice name, just as nice as the person." Mr. He's eyes nearly glued to Mu Yan.
Mu Yan frowned slightly, what was Zhou Lifen up to now?
Zhou Lifen looked at her with a smile, "Mu Yan, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Stay a while longer."
"No, I don't have Sister Zhou's leisure interests." Mu Yan directly rebuffed.
She had already seen the malice in Zhou Lifen's face and wasn't foolish enough to stay here at her mercy.
Zhou Lifen glanced at her watch and chuckled, "It's still two hours before midnight. Your contract hasn't ended. Are you thinking of skipping work?"
Mu Yan half-smiled, "It's so late already, does Sister Zhou still have scenes to shoot?"
"Why not? Life is like a play, isn't it?" Zhou Lifen raised her eyebrows, smiling joyfully.
Mu Yan's face darkened slightly. To have her accompany men on her behalf, did she have any decency left?
"What skipping work?" Mr. He looked at Mu Yan, chuckling, "Miss Mu is so beautiful. Which man would let her work?"
"Mr. He is right." Zhou Lifen looked at Mu Yan and smiled, "Mu Yan, with Mr. He's words, you might save yourself many years of struggle."
"Sorry, I'm not like Sister Zhou. I prefer to rely on my own efforts." Mu Yan lost patience in arguing with her and directly walked forward.
Zhou Lifen's gaze turned cold. She reached out and grabbed her wrist, warning, "This is Mr. He. He's not someone you can afford to offend."
"Miss Mu, come on, let me buy you a few drinks." Mr. He chuckled, reaching directly for Mu Yan's waist.
Seeing that sleazy hand approaching, Mu Yan reacted quickly, swinging Zhou Lifen away, causing her to bump into Mr. He's arms.
But due to inertia, her own body was pushed back, hitting the private room's door.
As it happened, the door was open, and her body fell backward with it.
Her back suddenly hit a solid chest, and when she looked up, she saw a familiar face come into view.
Her expression faltered slightly. Was she seeing things? How could he possibly be here?
