Chapter 111 Food and Sex: Human Nature
Chapter 111 Food and Sex: Human Nature
excuse?
Song Nanxi was secretly laughing to death.
He feigned innocence, saying, "I'm just entertaining a colleague who's on a business trip. There's nothing to explain, is there?"
Oh.
Ling Sheng's thin lips curled slightly, and he turned the notebook around to face her.
With slender fingers slightly bent, he tapped the table.
"See for yourself."
In the photo, both of them are wearing masks, but their posture and the distance between them are quite intriguing.
They were talking about something, their arms almost touching, the man looking down at her with a focused and tender expression.
Even Song Nanxi herself couldn't say that the two people in the photo were innocent.
But at this moment, one of the people in the photo is herself—
How should I put it? It's quite a subtle feeling.
Song Nanxi licked her lips, ignoring the chilling atmosphere of the office.
She leaned forward and laughed, "What did we do in the photo? We didn't hold hands, we didn't kiss. Is speaking normally going to get you sentenced to death?"
She gently tapped the screen with her slender, pale fingertips. "I remember the crime of hooliganism was abolished a long time ago."
Ling Sheng no longer believes her words.
He remained noncommittal, saying, "Then you should be glad. If the crime of hooliganism still existed, we would arrest you and execute you first."
Song Nanxi: "..."
She leaned back, her eyes wide.
"Ling Sheng, are you on drugs?"
Ling Sheng sneered, something inside his chest was breaking free of its cocoon.
"Then dare you swear that you absolutely have no romantic feelings for Yan Xingxue?"
Song Nanxi immediately declared, raising her hand to swear: "Sure, if I ever have any feelings for Yan Xingxue, may my parents suffer a terrible death."
At the same time, Song Hailin and Bei Bei sneezed, one at the company and the other at home.
Ling Sheng was so angry he laughed.
He didn't know how much Song Nanxi wanted those parents to suffer.
This oath is worth less than a fart.
This only confirmed her ulterior motives.
"So you're interested in Yan Xingxue, right?"
It's not a question, it's a certainty.
Okay, okay, so it's a confession game, right?
Song Nanxi gestured, "A little."
Ling Sheng felt a tearing pain in his chest, and his eyes burned with rage.
"Okay, what about Qi Yu?"
Why would someone deliberately make things difficult for themselves?
Song Nanxi clicked her tongue. "A little bit too."
Ling Sheng's smile deepened, but his eyes grew increasingly dangerous.
"Then who else? Jiang Muye? Yu Jing? Cheng Jinyu? Aren't they all a little bit?"
He got up and walked to Song Nanxi's side, then suddenly leaned in.
His large hands pressed on both sides of the armrest, creating a position that effectively imprisoned Song Nanxi.
He lowered his eyes, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
"Or—what about me?"
Song Nanxi was forced to lean back in her chair and look up at him.
There was no way around it; if she sat up straight, her face would be buried in the man's full, alluring chest muscles.
She blinked. Although she was very beautiful, with striking features, her eyes were so dark and clear that they softened the strong sense of aggression that came with her overly delicate features. She was very adept at playing the innocent card.
"Brother Ling, I've already said it, food and sex are basic human needs. The way I look at men is essentially the same as how you men look at women."
It all stems from desire.
What's wrong with that?
Ling Sheng lowered his brows; his sharp features, when serious, could easily give off an aggressive vibe.
"You are a woman—"
“No, no, no,” Song Nanxi pressed her index finger against Ling Sheng’s lips, half-smiling, “Don’t tell me that women always suffer in relationships. I have no intention of having children with any man, and I don’t play around with scumbags.”
It's consensual, focusing only on sex, not feelings.
Women will be much happier if they place themselves on an equal footing with men, pursue only their most primal desires, and do not give or expect anything in return.
It's an adult game; if you don't like it, just find another one.
Ling Sheng stared at the nonchalant smile on Song Nanxi's lips, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the armrest.
"You just have to..."
Song Nanxi smiled brightly, "Yeah, there's nothing I can do, I can't change it."
Ling Sheng closed his eyes.
Boom!
Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open quickly.
Ling Sheng and Song Nanxi looked over at the same time.
He Jian's pupils contracted, and she quickly retreated, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ling, Ms. Song, I have an urgent matter..."
"Come in."
Song Nanxi raised an eyebrow and reminded her, "Aren't you going to move aside? Are you waiting for me to make a move?"
She made a big fuss about touching his chest last time; what if she has to take responsibility if she touches it again?
He Jian didn't dare to move, secretly observing Ling Sheng's expression.
Ling Sheng straightened up with a normal expression and returned to his seat.
"Come in."
He Jian took a light breath and went straight to the point.
He said, "Mr. Ling, this matter is related to Miss Song. I have already notified the public relations department to hold a meeting. Please take a look at this first."
A Weibo post by Song Yirou inexplicably went viral.
Then, as everyone followed the clues, they eventually uncovered the truth about Song Nanxi.
Song Nanxi opened Weibo.
Song Yirou v: I hope there can be more fairness in this industry, where talent speaks louder than connections! If the casting is already predetermined, why bother putting on a show just to promote someone else? What about us actors who cancel our schedules, prepare meticulously for many days, just to fight for a role? Are we just unlucky?
Several female celebrities replied to this Weibo post.
Meng Wei: [Xiao Rou also auditioned for Director Feng's film? I think I know who you're talking about. She's already been cast? Looks like I have no hope then [surprised][crying]]
Yao Xiaoxiao: [I really didn't expect it to be pre-selected. I stayed up for three nights straight for this audition and even turned down two other gigs. Oh my god...]
Duan Yun: [Support Xiaorou! Thank you Xiaorou for speaking up for us, otherwise we would still be kept in the dark!]
Jin Meng: [We should unite! We should demand an explanation from the production team. At worst, we'll never work for them again! @Feng Rui]
[Oh my god... I feel so sorry for these ladies! Can these people with connections just get out of the entertainment industry?! I've had enough of these ugly kids of capitalists!]
[It's actually a film by Director Feng? "The Suspect"? Holy crap, even Director Feng has been swayed by capital?]
[I'm going to take some medicine! I came here because of the trending topics. This is a film by my teacher, Yan. How could something like this happen!]
[Yan Xingxue's fans, stop crying at her grave! Your idol is already dating Song Nanxi, can't you see reality?]
[Hiss... Holy crap, could Song Nanxi be the one already chosen?!]
【Why is it Song Nanxi again? Why is she always in this?! I'm fed up!】
……
“That’s the situation, Mr. Ling. Should we contact Director Feng to ask about it?” He Jian asked.
Ling Sheng rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, and looked at Song Nanxi. "I don't believe what they're saying. Tell me, what really happened?"
Song Nanxi is not short of resources at all; she wouldn't go to such lengths to snatch a role at a time like this.
Although working with Yan Xingxue was a high-caliber collaboration, he was at best a supporting role.
"Clearly, she's trying to start a fight."
