Turned around and headed for the bathroom.
Once inside, he turned on the tap and took a warm shower.
Back in the bedroom, he looked at Wang Mengmeng, who was now sleeping quietly.
Zhang Xiaohao’s face showed a wry smile as he helplessly shrugged his shoulders.
"Damn you, you little minx! Just you wait!" Zhang Xiaohao said through gritted teeth.
Shook his head again.
He went upstairs, turned off the light, and entered dreamland.
The night passed without incident.
"Ah..." An exaggerated scream suddenly woke Zhang Xiaohao.
"Zhang Xiaohao, you bastard! I, I’m going to fight you to the death!" Wang Mengmeng growled.
Her two delicate fists pounded against Zhang Xiaohao’s chest like a storm.
But her strength was so weak, it was like she was just tickling him.
"Stop it! It’s early in the morning. If you don’t want to sleep, at least let others sleep. Go play over there," Zhang Xiaohao said without even opening his eyes.
"Ah! You arrogant jerk!" Wang Mengmeng raged.
Her two jade hands struck Zhang Xiaohao’s body even harder.
"Ah! Zhang Xiaohao, what do you take me for, a tool for scratching your itches?" Wang Mengmeng fumed.
His lips curled up, carrying a hint of a mischievous smile.
"Little thing! Watch how I deal with you!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a wicked grin.
"Ah! Zhang Xiaohao, you’re bullying me!" Wang Mengmeng protested.
She stopped talking, her big, watery eyes looking pitifully at Zhang Xiaohao.
Suddenly, she burst into tears!
Tears of grievance sprayed instantly from the corners of her eyes.
"Eh! What’s wrong now?" Zhang Xiaohao asked incredulously.
"Wuu wuu..." Wang Mengmeng’s crying grew even more intense as soon as Zhang Xiaohao spoke, her tears streaming down her cheeks.
Zhang Xiaohao’s face showed a bitter smile. Latest content publıshed on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝘯𝘦𝘵
"There, there, don’t cry! I’m here for you. If something is making you unhappy, just tell me, and I’ll take care of it for you," Zhang Xiaohao consoled her.
Under his comfort, Wang Mengmeng gradually stopped crying.
"Zhang Xiaohao, I want to ask you something, and you need to answer me honestly!" Wang Mengmeng said.
"Sure, ask away," replied Zhang Xiaohao.
"Am I just a useless vase?" Wang Mengmeng asked with her large, dewy eyes blinking.
"Why would you ask that?" inquired Zhang Xiaohao.
"When I was an internet celebrity, my biggest dream was to become a famous superstar! Before I met you, no matter how hard I tried, I was always just a second-tier internet celebrity. Not to mention being far from a superstar, I was even farther from being a third-tier minor celebrity! But after meeting you, it’s like there was a change in the trajectory of my life. I went from being a second-tier internet celebrity to a top-tier one, and then with your help, I transitioned from a top-tier internet celebrity to a somewhat famous artist!"
"I thought I could become famous with this TV show! But when I actually started playing the lead female role, I realized how little I knew!"
"And! Because of a chance encounter with that shameless guy, Dai Zefei, who kept pestering me endlessly, I was isolated in the crew. Not to mention the director, even the extras dared to boss me around! If not for you, my role as the lead female could have been completely overshadowed by that detestable woman, Liu Jin Yan," Wang Mengmeng said with a pitiful tone.
"That’s not your fault! You’re just too kind-hearted. Remember, this is a dog-eat-dog world! If you don’t devour others, they will devour you! To ensure you don’t get hurt, you need to become strong! Keep enriching yourself! Be firm about your direction and stride forward boldly. I believe in you, your dreams will definitely come true," Zhang Xiaohao encouraged her.
"Thank you!" Wang Mengmeng said sincerely.
"Silly girl!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
He wiped the tears from her face.
"Alright, go wash up! If you keep this up, you’re going to turn into a big-faced cat," Zhang Xiaohao joked.
"Mm," Wang Mengmeng nodded with a blushing face.
She quickly jumped out of bed.
She hesitated for a moment, then walked back over to Zhang Xiaohao.
"What, what are you going to do?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"Hmph! I’m letting you off easy," Wang Mengmeng declared.
Zhang Xiaohao walked out of the hotel, with Wang Mengmeng following him.
Wang Mengmeng had returned to her quirky and sprightly demeanor, her face adorned with a sweet smile.
Leading the crew, they headed towards their next location.
Zhang Xiaohao instructed Qu Shenyue to protect Wang Mengmeng at all costs and if anything happened that she couldn’t handle, to call him immediately.
Watching their retreating figures disappear from view, Zhang Xiaohao withdrew his gaze.
He took out the special phone that Cheng Tianxue had given him and dialed her number.
The phone rang for a while before being answered.
"Zhang Xiaohao, is there something you need?" came the cold, sweet voice of Cheng Tianxue over the phone.
"Xue’er, I’ve taken care of everything with the crew," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Mm, thank you for your hard work! If you’re not busy, come back to the company. There have been quite a few things to deal with at the company recently," Cheng Tianxue instructed.
"I can’t just yet! I have something I need to deal with, and it might take some time," Zhang Xiaohao explained.
