Gu Ningyi's anger was terrifying, Dong Xin Yan trembled all over, silently taking deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down, trying hard to recall what exactly she said wrong.
But no matter how much she thought, she couldn't find a mistake.
Yet she didn't dare to answer directly. Instead, she swallowed nervously and timidly asked, "Mr. Gu, you invited me to be your partner, wasn't it to help you act... act?"
Acting...
He invited her as a partner... just for acting.
Such a ridiculous thing, his lips curled slightly, yet couldn't form even a half-smile.
So... when he asked if she knew what accepting to be his partner meant, she said she knew.
Turns out she knew, but not what he thought—that she had accepted him.
Turns out, she merely thought she was here to act.
The leading lady he assumed, in her heart, was nothing more than a passerby.
Perhaps, she wouldn't even want to be a passerby.
