Translator: Sissy That Walk

Qi Le An finally met Wei Chang Feng that night.

It was already past eight o’clock when Wei Chang Feng came. Qi Le An was wearing a plain white t-shirt loafing in bed while reading a book. The slippers in his feet were dangling casually until he heard Wei Chang Feng’s voice.

“An, it’s me.”

Hearing that, Qi Le An raised his head and lost his balancer, then the slippers fell on the floor.

He dashed to the door with his eyes wide open, he opened the door with disbelief.

Wei Chang Feng stood in front of him with a broad smile.

Qi Le An was shocked, “Wei Sama? You? ”

Wei Chang Feng smiled and raised the cheesecake in hand, “Aren’t you going to invite me in, for the sake of this cake?”

Qi Le An was almost certain that this scene must have been photographed by the paparazzi. He quickly invited Wei Chang Feng into the room, then he scratched his head and said, “What are you doing here, Wei Sama? The reporters … ”

“It doesn’t matter,” Wei Chang Feng looked at Qi Le An with affectionate eyes and said, “I haven’t visited you for the past few days, I’m so sorry that I’ve let you down.”

Qi Le An was stunned and said, “Wei Sama, you? Let me down? You are the last person in the world who will let me down! ”

Wei Chang Feng smiled and said to Qi Le An, “An, thank you for trusting me so much. Did you see through my plan or something?”

Qi Le An hesitated for a moment then nodded.

Wei Chang Feng looked at Qi Le An with admiration.

He didn’t say anything else but he showed a smile, “Want some cake? I’m sure you haven’t been eating well these days.”

The cake was from the shop that Wei Chang Feng often bought for him, and the taste was just as delicious. Qi Le An carefully cut the cake into two portions with a fork and invited Wei Chang Feng to eat together.

Wei Chang Feng looked at Qi Le An’s fork and couldn’t help laughing. Then he sat next to Qi Le An and enjoyed the cake together.

The cake wasn’t particularly big or anything, they had finished it within several bites. Wei Chang Feng’s phone rang after they finished the cake, he checked the phone and looked at Qi Le An, “Since you’ve figured it out, feel free to let it all out on set tomorrow, all the grievance and unfairness you have endured.”

Qi Le An nodded.

Wei Chang Feng checked his phone again and left.

Even though the crew had moved to a different hotel, there were still reporters lurking around the hotel entrance. On top of that, Wei Chang Feng deliberately leaked the news that he was going to visit Qi Le An. The headlines the next morning on all the entertainment newspapers were like: Wei Chang Feng paid a late night visit to Qi Le An.

Qi Le An was not surprised to see the news, he saw this coming the night before. The photo in the newspaper was taken from the side, and his and Wei Chang Feng’s faces were clear. Chen Shan sneered after reading it, then said to Qi Le An, “Are you ready? Shall we go?”

This day was the fourth day since the fake posts went viral online and Qi Le An had to return to the crew since Director Chen had only given him three days off.

Qi Le An took a deep breath and said, “Let’s go.”

It was a sunny day in Guang City. When Qi Le An walked out of the hotel, he heard a reporter yelling, “He’s here!”

Within a few seconds a group of people come in great numbers pointed their cameras at Qi Le An.

“Qi Le An, Qi Le An, we are from Orange Daily! You have been avoiding us in the last few days, was that because you feel guilty for your Uncle!”

“This is Guang City Entertainment! What did Wei Chang Feng tell you last night when he visited you? Are you two planning something together?!”

“May I ask is it true you have been treating your Uncle horribly?”

“Qi Le An, please say something!”

This was the first time that Qi Le An had been attacked by such a large group of reporters. Chen Shan pulled a long face and separated him from those reporters as they walked out. Thank God our Young Master Chen was so fit and tall, and he just blocked those reporters using his strong arms, he would give those predators a push if they tried to come near.

He ‘stuffed’ Qi Le An into the car and sat next to Qi Le An. The reporters continued to ramble on, blocking the path.

Chen Shan said coldly to the driver, “Let’s go.”

The driver was a crew member, he was sent by Director Chen to help Qi Le An, he had rich experience in getting rid of reporters and paparazzo. In addition, the security guards in the hotel had marched out and drove the reporters away.

A few smart reporters had already jumped on their own cars and followed Qi Le An, while others called their colleagues who were lurking on the set. The appearance of Qi Le An made everyone excited, what made this even better was the fact that Wei Chang Feng was involved. Everyone was eager to get some exclusives.

When Qi Le An and Chen Shan arrived at the set, they saw a bunch of well-prepared reporters from afar. Chen Shan clicked his tongue in the car and said, “There are so many of them”

Qi Le An nodded.

The path was totally blocked by the reporters and paparazzo, there was no point for them to stay in the car. Qi Le A n had to brace himself and get off the car. As soon as he stepped out of the car, he could hear clicks around him.

Qi Le An lowered his head and made a pitiful look.

“Qi Le An, Qi Le An, do you have any explanation for the previous report?”

Qi Le An slowly raised his head and smiled bitterly. “What can I explain, it is sheer fiction.”

Suddenly, the reporters were in an uproar.

This was the first positive response from Qi Le An after the farce. All the reporters acted like they were so pumped, and the guy raised a second question, “Are you saying that the news isn’t true? Then why haven’t you held a press conference?”

“I panicked after it happened, I wanted to solve it, but this is the first time I encountered something like this…”

Qi Le An’s eyes reddened under the watchful eyes of the reporters and he held back the tears. He looked so vulnerable and so pitiful, the reporters instantly felt sorry for him.

“Long story short, I am a trainee in Glory, I trust my company will handle this for me..”

Qi Le An’s words also made sense, and the reporters had heard the undertone and they were going to get to the bottom to this matter.

“Are you implying that Glory is being unfair to you?”

“Glory has always been famous for being harsh on their trainees. Can you share some stories with us?”

“May I ask if there is some information that Glory wished to hide?”

However, Qi Le An kept mute. He had given them enough hints. Chen Shan showed up again and protected Qi Le An as they walked into the set.

Of course, the reporters didn’t want to let go of their headlines, but the security on the set had come out to maintain order. It was Qi Le An that had deliberately talked to them just now, but now Qi Le An wanted to go inside, and no one could stop him.

Once they entered the set, it was totally different.

Qi Le An was young and favored by everyone in the crew. Someone had greeted him and the next second all the staff members had surrounded him, all talking at once, asking Qi Le An how he had been and they all comforted him.

Of course, Qi Le An was so touched by their kindness, he said he was fine and he thanked them for their kind words. Director Chen also went up to greet Qi Le An. He looked at him with a complicated expression, then asked him to get changed for his part.

After entering the dressing room, the makeup girl said with righteous indignation, “An, we all believe that you’re innocent. If there’s anything I can do need, tell me. Don’t let yourself suffer!”

The word of mouth was accumulated bit by bit. Qi Le An was always a good boy, and he was kind to everyone on the set. So everyone had been treating him as a sweet angel.

“I’m fine,” Qi Le An smiled bitterly and said, “Good things are happening soon.”

The makeup girl didn’t say anything else. She did Qi Le An’s makeup carefully, then she left the room quietly, giving Qi Le An some space. Qi Le An was supposed to leave the room soon to wait for his cue, but he didn’t leave his seat that day.

After a while, there was a knock on the door and Zhi Yuan’s voice came from outside, “Le An, are you here?”

Qi Le An opened the door for Dou Zhi Yuan.

Du Zhi Yuan was worried that the dark circles under his glasses had become heavier. Obviously, he had not slept well in the past few days. His eyes were filled with worry, “Le An, no matter what, I will be on your side!”

Qi Le An was touched by the kindness everyone had showed him. He looked at Du Zhi Yuan and said, “Thank you… I don’t know what to say, but I really thank you.”

Qi Le An spent the morning on the set. He rested for three days but he didn’t show the slightest slackness. Director Chen was very satisfied with this and praised Qi Le An two or three times.

By noon, Wei Chang Feng also arrived at the set. At of course he was surrounded by the reporters at the entrance of the set.

Wei Chang Feng was much skilled in talking with the reporters than Qi Le An.

He first asked Gary to send red packet money to all the reporters on the set, then he said seriously, “An is not an ungrateful person. Those with discerning eyes can tell what the problem is.”

After saying this, Wei Chang Feng entered the set.

In the afternoon, there was a long post attracted thousands of thousands hits in Tianya Entertainment section.

The post pointed out that the matter had been brewing for about four days now, and no one from Glory had said a word. That was because the person who slandered Qi Le An was actually from Glory.

The post analyzed all the news thread carefully, and the wording and phrasing in that post was so logical and convincing. The post also secretly pointed out that Qi Le An’s days in Glory were not great, and the proof was the punishment sheet attached.

The moment the post appeared, the crowd instantly exploded.

At the same time, more and more “exploding news” had emerged like there was an invisible force. News like Qi Le An still hadn’t got his pay, Qi Le An was bullied and insulted. Some news were true and some were exaggerated, but they all sounded so convincing it was hard to figure out what was happening. And some reporters had released what they had just shot that morning, Qi Le An looked so vulnerable in the footage, he didn’t say a bad word of Glory or Uncle.

So far everything went like what Qi Le An had thought, but he didn’t expect what he was about to see.

Wei Chang Feng handed him the trainee contract that he had signed years ago.

Qi Le An was stunned.

“Wei Sama? What is this?”

Qi Le An looked at the contract with disbelief. When he signed the contract, he was still young and Uncle signed his name as well, Qi Le An’s name was right next to Uncle’s name.

This contract had shackled him for several years in his last life. Even when he was of age, because of the restrictions of this contract, he signed many unfair regulations when he renewed the contract.

But now, Wei Chang Feng put the contract in front of him and handed him a new contract at the same time.

It was a statement about the termination of the Qi Le An contract.

Breaking the contract with Glory usually meant a huge amount of penal sum. A number that Qi Le An dared not to ask. Actually, it was not just about money, he was willing to work hard his entire life to get his freedom back, the thing was there had never been a trainee who had successful terminated contract with Glory.

And now, Wei Sama had put the thing had shackled him for years in front of him.

“An, from now on, you are free.”
