In the apartment, Xie Feng opened the door and stormed in, only to see Lin Jiamu sitting on the sofa, dressed in a T-shirt and jeans. His hair was freshly washed, slightly fluffy, and he looked sunny and clean, a stark contrast to his previous downtrodden appearance.
"Couldn’t you have given me a heads-up before you posted on Weibo so I could have a contingency plan? Do you know how angry the boss is about this? Your public image is in ruins now, and you might be benched by the company."
Lin Jiamu looked at him, smiling slightly, "That sounds pretty good to me."
Xie Feng was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "You’re not crazy, are you."
"I’m very clear-headed. Actually, I don’t like this circle, this vanity fair. I entered this industry just to make money to support her. Now that she can handle things on her own and knows the truth, she won’t accept my help anymore. It’s time for me to bow out gracefully."
Xie Feng scrutinized his expression, sensing no hint of a joke, only a look of calm acceptance in his eyes.
He had managed him for many years, always thinking he seemed cheerful but was actually deeply introspective and hard to approach. This new demeanor was indeed unexpected.
Suddenly, he covered his head, "I knew there was no good in taking you on, always leaving these messes for me to clean up. Suddenly making this decision, how am I supposed to explain this to the higher-ups?"
"Isn’t the company grooming new talent? Missing me won’t matter." Lin Jiamu chuckled, "Don’t you also have a few others with promising potential in your hand?"
Seeing he had already thought out an exit, Xie Feng knew playing the emotional card wouldn’t work, so he sighed, "Have you really made up your mind?"
"Yeah, I want to take a trip." Lin Jiamu smiled, "I should go out and see the world."
Every time he traveled before, it was for work. Every trip made him anxious, unable to rest easy about that pair of siblings.
After all, she was really too fragile, he wished he could stay by her side every day to protect her.
Xie Feng nodded, "Alright then, enjoy yourself. However, I’ll be keeping your spot open for you."
Lin Jiamu smiled and didn’t say anything.
In the afternoon, Lan Xi called Mu Yan to ask her to go shopping together.
A few days ago, Lan Xi got engaged to Lu Hao. Because of all the troubling matters, Mu Yan and Jiang Jingheng did not attend, but they had heard the engagement party was not pleasant.
So this time, when Lan Xi asked, Mu Yan didn’t refuse.
The two agreed to meet at the Starbucks next to the mall. Since they had already been photographed shopping together before, Mu Yan wore a hat and appeared makeup-free.
When she arrived at Starbucks, Mu Yan saw Lan Xi looking quite happy, smiling nonstop at her phone, not even noticing Mu Yan approaching.
Mu Yan sat down across from her, "What are you looking at?"
Lan Xi looked up and saw her, immediately putting away her phone, "Nothing, just a recent emotional program. That couple is quite interesting."
Mu Yan glanced at her, "Emotional program? Your taste is a bit strange."
"Isn’t it because I just got engaged and have entered the trial marriage phase?" Lan Xi laughed, "Better safe than sorry."
Mu Yan was a bit speechless, "Most of the problems in those shows are everyday trivialities, completely unrelated to you, okay."
Lan Xi replied without thinking, "Who says so? Aren’t there also many men who cheat and are unfaithful to their wives?"
After speaking, she felt a bit awkward and took a sip of coffee.
Mu Yan looked at her, tentatively asking, "I heard from your Brother Jiang last time that your engagement to Lu Hao wasn’t smooth. What happened?"
