The result of the audition for the leading female role in Ethereal Heightssurprised people. She was neither a popular star nor an actress with a great background. She just was a newbie.

A newbie that no one had ever seen on the Internet before.

Later an Internet user dug up her information. She came from Starlight Entertainment and graduated from a famous communications university. At school, her grades were outstanding and she was pure and beautiful. But her development in showbiz was not good. It seemed that she had offended many people because of her character, so she had never acted in anything after graduation.

Ning Keqing totally lost her cool because she failed to win the leading female role in Ethereal Heights . When she was awaiting the results, she thought that if she failed, it was Jiang Nian who would succeed. But in the end she was told that a newbie had gotten the role.

A newbie from Starlight Entertainment.

Ning Keqing couldn't accept that.

She went directly to Li Shaonan, but he hadn't been seeing her recently. She didn't find Li Shaonan at his company, so she went to his apartment to look for him.

But she still didn't find him. He was not in the apartment.

Ning Keqing sat at the door to wait. She had to see Li Shaonan today.

Ning Keqing waited for half the night and almost fell asleep. When she heard the sound of a car outside, she sobered up at once and stood up to walk out.

But she suddenly hid herself after taking two steps.

The person getting off the car was not Li Shaonan, but a woman. Li Shaonan seemed to be drunk. The woman held him, walking toward the apartment.

Li Shaonan was quite tipsy, but he was still fully aware. He walked very close to the woman and they spoke in low voices. They looked intimate.

Li Shaonan...

He really fell in love with another woman?

Ning Keqing was in a daze and only returned to herself after a while. She rushed out and pushed that woman away, asking, "Li Shaonan, who is she?"

The woman was pushed away suddenly and stepped back, making it so Ning Keqing could see her face clearly. But Ning Keqing sucked in a deep breath.

That face...

It was similar to hers.

But the woman's temperament and presentation were much better than hers. Everybody would know this with merely a glance.

Ning Keqing suddenly remembered there was a room that Li Shaonan didn't allow her to enter. If she even came near it, Li Shaonan would become extremely angry...

A calligraphy book she found in Li Shaonan's study. Remarks in graceful handwriting on the pages. A tiny signature on paintings...

The woman in front of her dusted off her clothes and smiled scornfully. "Li Shaonan, are you keeping a mistress in this love nest? We haven't seen each other for years, you've changed a lot."

The woman turned back to leave as soon as she finished speaking. Li Shaonan wanted to stop her, but he failed. She walked too quickly.

"Mr. Li..." Seeing that Li Shaonan wanted to catch up with the woman and didn't even hesitate, Ning Keqing grabbed him without taking time to think.

Because of this, the woman got in the car and started it, soon disappearing.

Li Shaonan's eyes narrowed dangerously. He said to Ning Keqing in an indifferent tone, "Ning Keqing, who allowed you to come here?"
