Quick Transmigration: Manual Mode [BL]

1.6 'Lifetime'

"Do you not want to clear your name? We know that you are not interested in g... I mean we know that you are innocent." Mother Lai took Yongliang's hands and patted him reassuredly.

Looking at their worried appearance, Yongliang's eyes softened and his heart felt warm. It was the first time he received such warmth and trust. He tried to calm down his emotional state and coax the Lai parents.

"Don't worry, I will handle it quickly. You don't need to care about this matter as I am capable enough to resolve it. You just need to make sure grandma won't hear about this. I'm scared she will escape the hospital and beat up the news stations."

Yongliang squeezed mother Lai's hand with a soft smile. The Lai parents were still worried but their baby insisted that he could take care of it, there was nothing more for them to do. They blocked all those news from reaching grandma Lai as instructed by Yongliang.

At a wrap-up party of the upcoming movie starring Sun Xia, Ren Jian was invited as he was one of the biggest investors in this project. He was wearing a matching dark blue suit with black stripes. Holding a cup of champaign in his hand, he looked just like those models in the magazine if not more handsome. Because of that, people started surrounding him but quickly got chased away by the director until a few people remained.

Sun Xia swallowed hard as she looked at that dashing appearance. He must be hers. She was one of the few people that could interact with him directly, she had to mean something to him. She then started walking forward to him with a smile in her white mermaid dress.

"President, are you doing ok?" Sun Xia noticed his gloomy atmosphere. She snickered in her mind as she guessed he was bothered about that young master.

"I... I know that you have an eye for people. But it would be hard to be objective if you have been friends forever. I care about the president." She lowered her voice at the last sentence with a blush on her face.

Ren Jian glanced at her saying nothing. This prompted her to continue talking.

"I always felt that he looks at me indecently when we meet. I guess we never know who people really are until reality hits us." She fluttered her lashes and lifted them up to meet Ren Jian's icy glare.

Sun Xia unconsciously stepped back and watched Ren Jian turn his back.

"Ms. Sun! What did you say for President Ren to leave?" The director hurriedly walked over.

"I-I was just asking if he was ok. Maybe he was feeling under the weather so he left." Sun Xia quickly came up with a reply and looked puzzled at the banquet door.

A luxurious car drove hurriedly into the Lai residence. When it stopped at the door, a gloomy and dark figure stepped out. He stomped his way up to the second floor with a frown on his handsome face. His teeth were clenched and his hands rolled into fists.

Ren Jian knew he should not have felt like this toward Yongliang. Yongliang was not the person that he was looking for, but this attraction, the moment he saw Yongliang's sleeping figure, bothered him greatly. He wanted to stay away, but he could not bear to take his eyes off him.

Looking at a girl being in Yongliang's embrace brought him great anger. If it was a rumor then it was fine, but to see someone touching him to bring the so-called proof online, Ren Jian's eyes darkened. He wanted to tear them all apart.

As Ren Jian kept walking with his head deep in conflict, he heard a faint sound of a piano. His steps paused.

The piano piece was soft and light. It made people feel like they were floating and wandering in space. It was like everything around should have been just a dream. There was a sense of loss and helplessness hidden behind those notes as if they had become tired of traveling around among those dreams.
