"Don't mess around, or I'll call the police!" Tong Xingtong said in great distress.

"I can let you go, but could you tell me a story?" Ye Chen asked.

"What?" Tong Xingtong felt that this guy was too good at tormenting people.

"Just tell me why you like women." Ye Chen said, genuinely eager to know the reason.

"I like women because men are filthy!" Tong Xingtong declared.

"Why are they filthy?" Ye Chen pressed. "There must be a cause for such thoughts; they can't just come from nowhere!"

Ye Chen had studied psychology, and he knew that people's minds could undergo strange transformations, but these changes always required a catalyst.

"When I was in junior high, I was assaulted by some thugs at school. They drugged me, nearly ruining me, but I was bravely rescued by a senior student. From then on, I started liking women. All men are the same, filthy!" Tong Xingtong explained everything in the briefest of words.

Ye Chen was stunned, never expecting that this venomous beauty had experienced such an ordeal.

Back in junior high, Tong Xingtong was probably still a radiant young girl, yet she was drugged and almost violated, only narrowly escaping disaster due to the heroics of a senior.

Understanding the cause and effect, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a strange sympathy for Tong Xingtong, and all her actions were now perfectly explained.

"Life always involves overcoming setbacks," Ye Chen reasoned. "The bad guys are just a small fraction; the majority in society are good. You should try to fall in love with a man!"

"All crows under the sky are black!" Tong Xingtong retorted coldly.

"Am I also black?" Ye Chen asked, hoping for a different answer.

"You're the blackest!" Tong Xingtong mocked.

"..."

"What are you guys doing!"

The door to Tong Xingtong's bedroom was flung open, and Chu Yanran, seeing them hand in hand, was somewhat shocked.

"Yanran, don't get me wrong!" Tong Xingtong exclaimed on seeing who had arrived.

"Alright, Xing Tong." Chu Yanran stopped Tong Xingtong's attempts to explain. "This is your personal issue, and I have no right to interfere, but you still surprised me."

After saying this, Chu Yanran turned and left.

"Yanran!" Tong Xingtong hurried after her.

...

A few hours later, Ye Chen, having tidied up a bit, went to Chu Yanran's room. He had come to bid farewell to this queen.

Chu Yanran sat on the couch, every inch the empress, with Tong Xingtong obediently standing behind her. They apparently guessed Ye Chen's purpose.

"Really decided to leave?" Chu Yanran asked.

"This place isn't for me. You all are nobility, and I'm just a country bumpkin," Ye Chen said with a smile, radiating simple charm.

"Alright!" Chu Yanran said, her expression conflicted.

"Yanran, why not let him stay?" Tong Xingtong interjected. For some reason, she now disagreed with the idea of Ye Chen leaving.

"If he stays, are you going to support him?" Chu Yanran suddenly burst out jealously.

Chu Yanran was a wise woman, but now Ye Chen had her so confused that she lost her ability to judge the situation accurately.

Tong Xingtong hung her head, internally sighing at the sight of the queen of the business world consumed by a man!

"Give me my stuff back," Ye Chen said.

"Your what?" Chu Yanran was taken aback.

"ID card, mobile phone!" Ye Chen demanded.

"I haven't seen any ID card, or phone!" Chu Yanran exclaimed, her demeanor sincere.

"Tong Xingtong!" Ye Chen said sternly, directing his accusation at her.

Ye Chen wanted to find the big star Liu Shihua, to rekindle past relationships with his goddess Zhang Xinlan; the ID card proved his citizenship in Huaxia, and the phone contained Zhang Xinlan's contact information.

"Beg me, grovel, and I might give you your ID card and phone back!" Tong Xingtong said haughtily. "Without this phone, you can't find them at all because it has the phone numbers of Zhang Xinlan and Liu Shihua!"

Having caught Ye Chen's weak point, Tong Xingtong gained the upper hand, looking down triumphantly at Ye Chen.

"Beg me!"

Ye Chen: "..."

"Xing Tong, give him his things!" Chu Yanran commanded coldly. "Let him go, as if this person never appeared in our lives!"

The noble and cold Chu Yanran, majestic like an empress; her words immediately made Tong Xingtong obediently submit.

"Being a bodyguard for two days, and then you mysteriously disappear for two months! People in the entertainment circle are often forgetful, and now, even if you appear right in front of them, they probably won't remember who you are!" Tong Xingtong said coldly, handing Ye Chen his ID and mobile phone back, but not without casting a final bit of scorn his way. "But I must admit, you surprised me; you were Liu Shihua's personal bodyguard, you got involved with her agent, and even tangled up with the female anchor Li Yan. You surely have a lot of energy!"
