Assistant Yan, who stood beside his boss, quaked.

Miss Hui, stop being so intimate with another man, or both our lives will be forfeit...

But Hui Yin on the other side of the screen didn't hear his heartfelt plea. She continued conversing with Liu Jun, a smile on her face. Any outsider could easily see that both of them enjoyed being with each other's company.

Lu Shen stared at his laptop with a single-minded intensity. He watched as two people sat next to each other in front of a still lake, with the girl laughing at something that the man said.

It was a very affectionate and touching scene.

He gripped his phone tightly on one hand as he sent another text. On the screen, the girl continued chatting and ignored the buzzing sound of the phone inside her purse.

A smile tugged at the corner of Lu Shen's mouth, but his eyes were freezing. Looks like this girl was enjoying being with another man so much that she couldn't be bothered to even look at his text...

Lu Shen turned to look at Assistant Yan, and the bloodthirsty expression on his face made Yan sweat bullets.

"Call the guards. Tell them that she's off limits to all the places in the estate except for her room, and that man needs to be kicked out of there."

After saying that, he continued watching the scene on his laptop as his hands itched to throw something again. Yan stood next to him, so he acutely felt the tremendous pressure that his boss was now emitting.

He badly wanted to exclaim, Boss, isn't it already too late? The shoot is over. And boo-hoo boss, you're behaving like a stalker! You skipped your conference meeting just to check out the live CCTV footage of Miss Hui's shooting? Isn't it enough that you lent out an estate just to keep an eye on her?

Although Yan would rather die than to say it out loud, seeing his boss behaving like this, Yan felt that the Great Dragon King was behaving too much like a little kid.

Although his experience with women were more than limited, with enough TV dramas and steamy novels in his arsenal, even Yan knew that his boss' actions were truly outside the norm. It felt like every action of the Great Dragon King right now was declaring something towards Miss Hui.

With the Tianshang Renjian being lent out to a couple of strangers just so that he could keep Miss Hui inside his territory: she's mine!

With each text message that was sent: she's mine!

And now, even trying to imprison Miss Hui inside her own room and kicking out Liu Jun, it was blatantly obvious what CEO and Chairman Lu was trying to say.

That Miss Hui was his, and his alone.

Everybody else, scram!

...

Hui Yin was still talking to Liu Jun, unaware that every guard in the manor was rushing towards their direction.

Her ringtone suddenly blared inside her bag, signalling an incoming phone call. When Hui Yin saw the caller ID, she simply pressed end.

"That's <Bravado>, isn't it?" Liu Jun asked when he recognized her ringtone. He didn't ask her why she didn't answer the call, and Hui Yin smiled in appreciation.

"Yes, I really like that song. By the way, what inspired you to write that?"

Hui Yin liked the lyrics of <Bravado> since the lyrics resounded deeply within her heart. She was curious how Liu Jun managed to gain such an emotional insight that created the song.

He chuckled. "You know that old proverb 'a candle lights others and consumes itself'? Well, that's basically how it is in the entertainment business. I wrote <Bravado> because that's how I survived in this ruthless circle—by showing a pretense of bravery."

Hui Yin thought that Liu Jun was a really nice man, and winked at him.

"It must be tough to be famous."

He laughed, then stood up and offered her his hand.

"Let's go back. I think Director Sun might be planning to leave Yangshuo early."

Hui Yin took his hand and they went back to the manor, missing the rushing guards by a hair.
