Second Take On Romance - The A-List Actor Wants Me-Chapter 230 : The Late Comprehensive Report

Shen Jingwei nodded, his handsome features illuminated by a gentle smile that made him bloom like the most exquisite flower.

Feng Jietang groaned inwardly.

"I give up," he said. "If you are truly happy with that guy, then I won’t say or do anything to make you unhappy."

Shen Jingwei put a hand on Feng Jietang’s shoulder in a comradely way.

"Thank you, Jietang."

Feng Jietang shook his head several times, as if lamenting his poor fate. The first man he ever liked just had to slip out of his grip so easily.

"But if you ever change your mind about Yan Renzhong..."

Feng Jietang put his hand on top of Shen Jingwei’s and squeezed it, "know that I will always be waiting for you."

"..."

The two men looked at each other, their gazes locked together in silence.

Shen Jingwei struggled to find the right words. He wanted to express his appreciation for Feng Jietang, but a simple "thank you" felt insufficient.

Feng Jietang, on the other hand, did not necessarily expect to hear anything from Shen Jingwei in return.

He was content knowing that Shen Jingwei had understood his feelings, as it was the most crucial thing to him.

When Shang Ruohai exited the bathing area, the two men quickly pulled away from each other.

"Oh, ho," Shang Ruohai was all smiles. His eyes were curved into perfect crescents as he looked at Shen Jingwei and Feng Jietang, one after another.

"What is this? Am I witnessing a scandalous affair?"

"Nonsense!" Feng Jietang snapped, but he failed to disperse the crimson note at the tips of his ears. "Shang Ruohai, how could you lie to me about the so-called engagement rings! Little Shen told me everything!"

While Feng Jietang raised a complaint and Shang Ruohai listened, Shen Jingwei looked at the time and gasped slightly. Before he knew it, hours had already passed and it was quite late into the night.

The last time he got in contact with Yan Renzhong was a few hours ago.

By right, he was supposed to be home more than two hours ago.

Yan Renzhong should he home by now.

He was probably worried sick. Or seething with anger.

Panicked, Shen Jingwei quickly rummaged inside his bag and unearthed his phone, intent on sending Yan Renzhong a quick message.

He was in the middle of typing a long message when Shang Ruohai had enough. He ditched the fuming and ranting Feng Jietang and sauntered toward Shen Jingwei instead.

"What are you doing?"

"Oh, I am just writing Yan Renzhong a little update," Shen Jingwei answered without looking up.

Shang Ruohai sneered.

"A little update? It looks like a comprehensive report."

Shang Ruohai snatched Shen Jingwei’s phone and began to read the long text message.

"Heyyy! Senior Shang! It’s private!"

Shang Ruohai clicked with his tongue.

"Oh, shush. Let me teach you how to give your spouse a quick and easy update."

"No need, I am going to be done soon..."

Shang Ruohai pulled Shen Jingwei close and activated the camera function.

"Smile, Little Shen."

"???"

Shen Jingwei gaped at the camera in confusion.

Shang Ruohai turned his head and pressed a kiss against Shen Jingwei’s cheek just as the shutter sound was heard.

"...."

Stunned, Shen Jingwei failed to react in time. By the time he regained his senses, Shang Ruohai already sent the picture to Yan Renzhong. Using Shen Jingwei’s phone.

"Ahhhhhhhhh...!!!"

Shen Jingwei was close to tears.

He wanted to retract the image, but it was too late. Yan Renzhong already saw the picture.

Shen Jingwei : "It’s not what you are thinking!"

Shen Jingwei : "I can explain!"

Shen Jingwei sent several more messages to explain his situation, but after only three messages, Yan Renzhong stopped reading.

"..."

He was angry.

Yan Renzhong was upset with him again.

Shen Jingwei shot Shang Ruohai a devastated look.

"Senior Shang, it is all your fault," he said gloomily. "If Yan Renzhong breaks up with me again, you need to assume full responsibility."

"Oh, please."

Shang Ruohai dismissed Shen Jingwei’s concern with a casual hand wave.

"I know Yan Renzhong. He wouldn’t mind."

"..."

Looking at Shen Jingwei’s face, one might think that he just lost his house and his entire fortune in a massive fire.

Shang Ruohai heaved a long sigh.

"Fine," he said. "If you are so concerned, I am going to personally take you home and explain the situation to Yan Renzhong."

After a hasty dinner at the affiliated seafood restaurant, the four people left the country club.

The Feng siblings left in their car, and Shang Ruohai took Shen Jingwei with him in his own car.

On their way back to the Red Jade Pavilion, Shen Jingwei kept texting and calling Yan Renzhong.

His text messages remained unread, and his calls ignored.

A wave of dread washed over Shen Jingwei as they neared apartment 58C.

Just what happened to Yan Renzhong? Why did he ignore Shen Jingwei’s text messages and calls?

Shen Jingwei gingerly unlocked the door and entered the apartment.

It was practically empty.

"..."

"..."

Shang Ruohai furrowed his brows.

Shen Jingwei swallowed hard.

"Maybe he’s not home yet," Shang Ruohai pointed out.

But then the bathroom door clicked open and someone stepped into their line of sight.

It was a woman with long, curly hair that extended down her back. Her peach blossom eyes gave her an air of innocence, her luscious pair of lips were full of blood.

She did not wear anything beneath the white bathrobe that was draped around her slender form.

"Oh, Shang Ruohai," she remarked with a certain degree of astonishment. "Why are you here?" freēwēbnovel.com

Shen Jingwei’s blood ran cold in his veins.

With no make-up on, he did not recognize this woman at first, but now he did.

It was Hua Xueying, "Empress Hua", Yan Renzhong’s ex-lover.

Shen Jingwei did not know why, but his eyes suddenly shifted toward the coffee table at the living room.

Perched at the center of the coffee table was Yan Renzhong’s phone.
