Just as he was about to lose consciousness, a strong arm suddenly wrapped around his waist and pulled him out of the water.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Qiu Chengye coughed violently, greedily inhaling fresh air.
" manager Qiu, are you okay?" Xie Mi asked with concern, one arm around Qiu Chengye's waist while the other patted his back repeatedly to help him expel the water he had swallowed.
As Qiu Chengye regained his composure and saw that the person in front of him was Xie Mi, he was momentarily stunned.
"How is it you?" Qiu Chengye looked at Xie Mi in disbelief, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible tremor.
" manager Qiu, this isn't the time for that. Are you alright?" Xie Mi supported Qiu Chengye's waist with one hand while gently patting his back with the other, her voice filled with worry.
Qiu Chengye's face was pale, and his lips were slightly purple, clearly shaken. He steadied himself and shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
"Thank goodness you're okay," Xie Mi sighed in relief, but she quickly realized something. "Wait, where are the others? Who else is in the water?"
Qiu Chengye looked around; the lights in the pool had come back on, and other guests stood on the shore, looking at them with expressions of shock.
At that moment, Shen Zhaoqing had just arrived at the venue after getting off the plane. Xie Mi quickly spotted him and opened her phone to start a live stream, aiming the camera at herself and Shen Zhaoqing. She adjusted her angle and smiled.
"Friends in the live stream, if you find out I've been kidnapped, please call the police. Thank you," Xie Mi said seriously into the camera. The next second, a long, fair hand covered the lens.
"What are you doing?" A deep, magnetic voice came from behind her, carrying a hint of danger. Xie Mi turned around and met a pair of eyes as deep as the night sky, causing her heart to skip a beat.
"I am on the Live Stream, Mr. Shen, what are you doing..." "The Live Stream?" The man chuckled softly, his tone ambiguous, "What about the Live Stream? The Live Stream... us?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Mi not only showed no fear but deliberately leaned closer to Shen Zhaoqing, her body almost pressed against his. With a seductive smile, she spoke to the phone camera, her red lips parting slightly: "That's right, the Live Stream of my love story with Mr. Shen."
The audience in the Live Stream was stunned by Xie Mi's audacity, and the comments exploded instantly.
"What the hell! Did I hear that right? She actually dared to openly provoke President Shen?"
"Is this woman crazy? Who is President Shen? He's a major player in the entertainment industry; how could she dare..."
"It's over, it's over. Xie Mi is definitely going to be finished; President Shen will surely blacklist her!"
"Haha, I love watching Xie Mi dig her own grave; it's thrilling!"
...
Viewers speculated on how Shen Zhaoqing would react, after all, he was known as the cold-faced king of hell, intimidating without even being angry; no one dared to provoke him like this.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zhaoqing not only did not get angry but instead showed a hint of amusement in his eyes. He took the opportunity to wrap his arm around Xie Mi's slender waist and pulled her closer into his embrace, whispering in her ear, "Oh? How do you want to Live Stream?"
His warm breath brushed against Xie Mi's ear, sending shivers down her spine. She couldn't help but shrink her neck slightly, her eyes sparkling as she provocatively replied, "For example... Live Streaming... us sleeping together?"
"Hiss..." The audience in the Live Stream gasped in shock. Was Xie Mi really that bold?
The ambiguous atmosphere between the two quickly intensified. Just when the audience thought they would witness something inappropriate, the production team urgently cut off the Live Stream signal. The screen was suddenly filled with static, followed by complete darkness, leaving only a barrage of confused black question mark faces and comments saying "I haven't seen enough."
"What happened? Why is it blacked out?"
"Ahhh! What about my love story? I want to see the Live Stream!"
"What is the production team doing? Dropping the ball at a crucial moment?"
Director Niu sat in front of the monitor, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. He said to the staff, "Quickly contact President Shen and see if we can restore the Live Stream; the viewership is about to explode!"
The staff member looked troubled. "Director Niu, we can't get through to President Shen..."
Director Niu irritably ran his fingers through his hair. This Xie Mi was truly a troublemaker, always causing some kind of chaos that left him, as the director, on edge.
