Title: The Villain’s Contract Lover
Translator: Fringe Capybara
Chapter 53 - “WanZhi, are you forced to say that by Mu ZhenYu or… you are still mad at what happened two years ago?” (2)
Xu WanZhi paused for a little bit in her tracks, put on a serious look, and said to him, “Mr. Shen, we are not that familiar. I think you should stop with these suggestive jokes. I trust that you don’t want another incident like the one at the club to happen again…”
Shen Yi was to her right. Hearing what she had said, he changed direction and forced her into a low-traffic area. “WanZhi, are you forced to say that by Mu ZhenYu or… you are still mad at what happened two years ago?”
Two years ago. The time when the original owner first debuted.
Xu WanZhi, without giving away anything, asked, “What happened two years ago?”
“I wish you had truly forgotten about it,” said Shen Yi with a hint of a smile on him. “We were both youth and vigorous. I will be the first to admit that it was my fault. WanZhi, I will do anything within my power to make up for you. What do you say?”
Xu WanZhi looked squarely at him.
Shen Yi has always had a casual look on him as though nothing could bother him.
But now, he looked extremely sincere. She was almost convinced that he’d agree to whatever she said right now.
Xu WanZhi felt that something bad must have happened two years ago but she didn’t believe Shen Yi would tell her even if she asked. Luckily, Shen Yi’s behavior right now also led her to believe that he would not use this to blackmail her.
She has time to slowly figure out what had happened.
Xu WanZhi’s look relaxed and she smiled slightly. “I truly had forgotten.”
Shen Yi was stunned for a few quick seconds then, sighing in resignation, said, “Okay. I believe you.”
Xu WanZhi nodded slightly and wanted to walk around him and leave. He stopped her once again. “I can’t say I know what it is about Mu ZhenYu that you find so attractive. To a point that you’d still stay with him willingly even after he has gone bankrupt. What I can tell you, however, is that he isn’t as nice of a guy as you may think. If you are not happy, you can come to me anytime.”
Xu WanZhi could see from afar that Chang XiaoYa was trying to butter up to the director. She turned, gave Shen Yi a sincere smile, and said, “Right back at ya, Mr. Shen. Chang XiaoYa isn’t a nice person either. Don’t let you use you like a tool.”

The filming carried on into the afternoon and the weather became humid once again, as though the nonstop thunder and rain were still not over yet.
Xu WanZhi looked at the sky with melancholy. The dark clouds that seemed to be hanging lower and lower made her sigh.
The director was directing the positions of the actors out in the field. He, too, looked up at the sky when he saw Xu WanZhi looking at it with resignation. He thought about it for a little bit and said into a megaphone, “Overcast weather like this give the best lighting. Let shape up and aim to finish today’s shooting before the rain starts. The sooner we are done, the sooner we can go home.”
The actors and actresses, who haven’t had lunch yet didn’t even have the energy to respond to him. There were but a few small and scattered acknowledgements.
During her free time in between reapplying her makeup, Xu WanZhi fished out her cellphone and took a look. There wasn’t anything else other than a few Wechat messages from Fang Lin confirming dates and times with her.
Before Shen Yi showed up, Mu ZhenYu would ask to have lunch with her from time to time.
After all, a “bankrupt and unemployed” individual has a lot more free time.
But now, Xu WanZhi hadn’t heard any words from Mu ZhenYu in a couple of days. In fact, she hasn’t heard anything from him since she had run into Bai FeiChen and him in her fox form.
Was he busy with making his comeback or was it because of what happened that day…
