The delicate earlobe was tucked behind her hair, shining with an almost translucent glow.
Her expression remained faint, her eyelids lowered, with long, dark eyelashes falling softly, and her lips pressed together.
It was a rather unhappy expression…
She was clearly upset with him.
And she had every right to be, Evan thought, somewhat dazed.
If it weren’t for his coercion, how could the beautiful employee have become a female live streamer?
It was only natural and right for him to be in close contact with other men on the platform, simply to earn a bit of rent.
But Evan couldn’t help but ask, “Can’t you change this job?”
Yanchuan immediately shook his head.
“There is a penalty for breaking the contract, and I can’t afford it,” he said. “Besides, I’ve already signed up for this event, so I can’t back out.”
What was Evan even saying? Yanchuan pressed his lips together; how could he complete the tasks assigned in the script if he abandoned this job?
Was he supposed to continue playing the role of “superior and subordinate” with Evan in this scenario?
“I can pay,” Evan said, sensing the crux of the matter. “The penalty isn’t an issue.”
Yanchuan shook his head again.
“I don’t want your money.” He spoke calmly, directly rejecting Evan’s offer.
“Why not?”
Evan couldn’t help but ask.
Yanchuan glanced at him, a hint of wariness in his demeanor.
“Because you would definitely want something in return,” he said, looking down at his lashes. “I can’t repay you for what you give.”
Just like Yanchuan wouldn’t accept anything else Evan offered, he had nothing to give him.
Firstly, everything in the script was fictional; secondly, once he accepted something, he would surely need to provide a corresponding reward.
Evan was already rather twisted; did he really want to pay the penalty and not be an insignificant live streamer, only to continue being the superior’s lover?
And then return home with the superior to meet parents, leaping from a junior employee to being the CEO’s wife? Like some plot from an idol drama?
In the real world, Yanchuan wouldn’t believe such a trope, and it seemed even more improbable here.
Moreover, they were in a survival game, in a script—he couldn’t possibly stay here.
[Wife, my wife, you’re so clear-headed… rich men can’t be trusted!]
[I like her even more! My little white flower wife!!!]
[I cried—did the wife always live in fear, worried that these men would seize her, unable to even be a small streamer? Boohoo!]
[Better off with the clueless Ke, @Ke Li, hurry and protect my wife!]
[@Ke Li @Lian Zhan @A, there are bad people scaring my wife!!!]
Evan was momentarily speechless.
Although his statement about paying the penalty had come out instinctively, Yanchuan’s “with conditions” also reflected his selfishness.
How could someone like Evan stand by while his beloved beautiful employee participated in a dating event with others, pretending to be a couple in front of many people?
He could hardly bear it.
Thus, when Evan returned from his trip, he rushed to Yanchuan’s home, expressing his intention to join the event as well.
And he learned from the beautiful employee why she had kept this from him all along.
Of course, for Evan, the best outcome would be for the beautiful employee to give up participating in the event altogether.
Ideally, she wouldn’t act as a streamer any longer, wouldn’t get entangled with other men, and wouldn’t wear beautiful clothes in the live broadcast for people of unknown identities to see.
Just watching the barrage of comments during the live broadcast replay made Evan furious.
A group of evidently ill-intentioned men bombarded the comments, listing their perceived advantages, desperate to get the beautiful little streamer to notice them.
If Evan could see this much, Yanchuan could surely see even more.
That shameless group of men wouldn’t just harass her in the live chat. They would also infiltrate her private messages, aggressively promoting themselves.
There were even more twisted ones who would send over photos they thought showcased their charm, brazenly putting themselves in front of the beautiful little streamer.
Just the thought of such a scene made Evan want to eliminate them all.
Moreover, the other streamers active in the beautiful little streamer’s chat must also be up to no good.
Evan nearly exploded with anger while rewatching the live broadcast.
But now the beautiful little streamer said she didn’t want him to pay the penalty because she couldn’t afford it herself.
Evan stared intently at Yanchuan’s fair, beautiful face, a bittersweet sensation washing over him.
Did she really not trust him so thoroughly?
Did she truly think his image was that poor?
Evan tried to persuade himself otherwise, but the beautiful little streamer was simply standing a little farther away, slightly turning her head, seemingly unwilling to even show him her face.
Although she still wore that pretty little maid outfit, the scene was entirely different from last time.
Last time, she had come at Evan’s request to play the role of a “one-day maid.” Now, however, her expression was meant for the audience in the live broadcast.
The computer’s display light blinked intermittently.
“Alright…” After a moment of silence, Evan finally said, “If you want to participate, then participate.”
Yanchuan responded with a soft, “Hmm?”
Was he giving up on the idea of her not being a small streamer?
Then Yanchuan heard Evan’s voice again.
“But I also want to participate…”
