Chapter 83: Will You Fall in Love with Him

Ling Tianya’s alcohol tolerance was trained up from years of living abroad. Two glasses of whiskey were no big deal to her, especially those ones watered-down by ice.

In the room, other than people from the crew, there were a few young men who were friends with Gu Zhiqian and some female celebrities who were invited to warm the party. Most of the girls were either new to the entertainment business or yet to make a name for themselves.

Attending parties like that was the easiest way to meet people in the prestige class. That evening, they had everyone from the genius director and golden screenwriter, to award-winning actor and actresses, influential family members, and royalty. If one could make acquaintance with any of them, they were halfway to success.

Not every small-time female celebrity could attend parties like that. Their agency or agent needed to use connections and find ways to get them in. Once a girl made it to a party like that, she could secure a role in a show if she was lucky, or she could make some cash spending a night with a certain high-roller.

Mixed in between the female celebrities, Guan Meiyi seemed a bit uncomfortable. Even though they were all actresses, Guan Meiyi considered herself as someone who won an award, regardless of how questionable the award was. She felt she was different from the other women.

“Was Gu Zhiqian trying to embarrass me by openly inviting these women? Does he think I’m the same as them?” Guan Meiyi tilted her head and looked at Ruan Zeyan, who was playing with the glass in his hand while watching women in bikinis on the big screen disinterestedly. By the look of her just sitting next him, there was not much difference between Guan Meiyi and the other women.

Biting down on her lip, Guan Meiyi looked at Ling Tianya who was on the other side of Ruan Zeyan. Her eyebrows furrowed as she saw how small the distance between the two was. There was pretty much no gap between their bodies; they were practically touching.

What Guan Meiyi found the most unacceptable was that Ruan Zeyan did not resist at all.

Before long Gu Zhiqian started to complain that he was bored. Alcohol, women, and rave music was not enough to excite him. When he saw that Ruan Zeyan had been sitting there with ‘Do Not Disturb’ written all over his face, Gu Zhiqian talked him into playing pool with him next door. As the two main men got up and left the room, a lot of people hurried up and followed.

Guan Meiyi used a headache as an excuse to stay in the room, because she really didn’t want to follow the two men like all the other shameless female celebrities.

Nobody paid attention to Ling Tianya. People at the party were all experienced and observant. No one wanted to show interest in Ling Tianya after seeing how Ruan Zeyan treated this Miss Ling.

Ling Tianya actually enjoyed the peace and quiet with no one bothering her. The boisterous room became much quieter after that.

Guan Meiyi studied Ling Tianya closely. Ever since they were kids, Guan Meiyi never liked her cousin. Ling Tianya was a stubborn kid prone to overreaction. She also had a bad mouth that no one cared for. Guan Meiyi had decided to take Ling Yuqing under her wing instead of Ling Tianya.

Even though Ling Tianya was no longer as impulsive or hostile as before, there was still something troubling about her. “Yaya, what do you think about Ruan Zeyan?”

Ling Tianya didn’t react to the question. She poured herself a drink and took a sip, “Why do you ask, Sister Meiyi?”

Guan Meiyi looked at Ling Tianya solemnly, “Will you fall in love with him?”

Ling Tianya thought there must have been something wrong with Gan Meiyi’s head. “What kind of question was this?” She thought. “Sister Meiyi, that was a sudden question. I wasn’t prepared.”

Ling Tianya looked back with a flirtatious expression, which made Guan Meiyi even more nervous. “Answer me!”

Ling Tianya downed the rest of the drink in one go, “I’m not into self-abuse.”

“What do you mean?”

“It means I’m not going to abuse myself by falling in love with a man like Ruan Zeyan.”

Guan Meiyi’s face relaxed after hearing the answer.

Pong! There was a big noise from outside the room. Ling Tianya and Guan Meiyi both turned their heads, but there was nothing they could see other than the closed door.
