Chapter 1077 - Chapter 1077 Chapter 1079 Before the Storm (5)
Chapter 1077: Chapter 1079: Before the Storm (5) Chapter 1077: Chapter 1079: Before the Storm (5) Liu Yiyi had resigned from Yan City TV after the last “video gate” scandal. Before she approached Qin Zhiyou, she had also accepted benefits from Qin Weijia, but since the “video gate,” Qin Weijia, seeing no hope in her turning her situation around, stopped caring about her altogether.
Moreover, around that same time, the relationship between Lu Weixi and Qin Zhiyou had grown closer, leading Qin Weijia to increasingly dismiss her as having no value, even despising her. Liu Yiyi lost her job, countless endorsements, and had to compensate her collaborators for their losses, enduring the mockery and sarcasm of those around her. Juniors who had once been inferior to her strutted about, emboldened above her, and her original financial team also left her, making it seem as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.
At this time, the person who came to help her was actually Qin Zhiyou. She had thought that after her scandalous video with her ex, the person most disgusted would be Qin Zhiyou, yet to her surprise, he still remained by her side. Of course, Qin Zhiyou only offered her comfort in her dire situation, but did not help her recover her former honor and status. However, the reason Qin Zhiyou gave was reasonable and justifiable–the internet has a memory, and her being exposed in such a scandalous video, regardless of whether it was her fault, made her unacceptable to mainstream society. If she wanted to make a comeback, she must stay low-key for a while.
Liu Yiyi followed his advice and stayed quietly at home. But Qin Zhiyou was clearly not satisfied with her just staying at home obediently. Once, Liu Yiyi invited him over to her house late at night, and when Qin Zhiyou arrived, she had already dressed provocatively in a bold and risque nightgown, setting the house with an extraordinarily romantic ambiance, intending to present him with a fait accompli.
This time, Qin Zhiyou’s unswerving tenderness and considerate nature completely captured her heart. If previously Liu Yiyi harbored thoughts of securing a wealthy patron to rise up the ranks, those thoughts were now thrown to the back of her mind after this encounter. All thoughts of money, fame, and status were discarded, and she saw only Qin Zhiyou.
Especially since Qin Zhiyou was still so gentlemanly, keeping her company for so long, yet he had not initiated any intimate actions. Throughout their acquainted time, there were hardly any kisses, let alone anything more. Initially, Liu Yiyi did not understand, but later felt that although Qin Zhiyou had a reputation, he was not driven by desperate cravings; he might lean more towards a spiritual satisfaction. After the video scandal, though Qin Zhiyou was “unswerving,” she still felt a vague sense of inferiority, wondering if Qin Zhiyou found her too tainted?
But now, after such a long time together, with his gentleness unchanged, Liu Yiyi felt she could no longer wait. Dressed and meticulously dolled up, nervous, even more excited than during her actual first love, she opened the door only to see Qin Zhiyou’s indifferent face.
