Chapter 104: A Sense of Déjà Vu

Huo Tingying lowered his gaze, doting on the petite woman in his arms as he asked, "How did they bully you just now?"

Yun Mu, who had been fierce and queenly when alone earlier, was now huddled in Huo Tingying's embrace, portraying an image of a delicate bird that had suffered countless oppressions.

She reached out, pointing at the two men, her voice filled with aggrievement. "They called me an ugly monster just now and wanted to snatch away my role as the leading lady."

Huo Tingying's narrow eyes instantly turned cold and sharp as he lifted his gaze towards Yun Chengdong and Yun Shuiyao.

"Do the Yun family really think I wouldn't dare to act? To replace the leading lady?" Huo Tingying scoffed lightly. "We'll see if you have what it takes."

With a mere glance from Huo Tingying, Feng Shuo stepped forward immediately, unfolding a contract.

"Last night, our Young Master acquired Longteng Technology. Therefore, the true owner of Longteng is now our Young Master."

What?!

The President of Emperor Group had actually directly acquired Longteng Technology?

Could it be that it was all for the sake of pampering Yun Mu?

Yun Mu felt surprised too; she had no idea about this matter at all.

Yun Chengdong remained relatively calm, sneering as he said, "President Yi sure knows how to spend big to please a woman."

"I love spoiling my woman. Do you have any objections?" Huo Tingying raised his eyebrows. "Even if you do, you'll have to bear with it. You have no say in this matter right now. As for the advertisement's male lead, either you shoot it or get lost!"

The words Yun Chengdong had said to Yun Mu earlier were now thrown back at him by Huo Tingying verbatim.

Yun Mu looked up, feeling that Huo Tingying's aura in her eyes had suddenly soared to two meters tall!

Yun Chengdong's pupils constricted as he gave a cold smile. "It's just an advertisement endorsement. This young master won't play along with you guys anymore."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wanna leave?"

However, Huo Tingying let out a light scoff. An evil smile curled at the corner of his lips as he said coldly, "You can leave, but pay the five billion yuan breach of contract fee first."

Yun Chengdong paused in his steps, frowning in confusion. "Five billion yuan breach of contract fee?"

Huo Tingying gestured towards Feng Shuo. "Explain it to Third Young Master Yun."

Feng Shuo stepped forward again, opening another document.

"Third Young Master Yun, this is the advertisement shooting contract you signed previously. Please take a look at the breach of contract clause."

Yun Chengdong took the contract and only needed a glance before his expression turned grim.

"Yi Jue, you son of a b*tch! You tricked me!"

This was indeed the contract he had signed, but who could tell him when the breach of contract fee had changed from fifty million yuan to five billion yuan?

Huo Tingying's deep eyes flashed with a thin layer of coldness. "I can only say that you're too stupid. So, still wanna leave?"

Yun Chengdong's face turned livid.

When had the third son of the Yun family ever suffered such a loss?

He wished he could leave right away.

But moving five billion yuan in compensation would inevitably alert Yun Tingying.

If that old man found out about what he had done to Yun Mu today, he might not die, but he'd certainly suffer greatly.

Yun Chengdong gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. "Fine, I'll shoot it."

Brat!

Aren't you well-behaved now after being disciplined?

Yun Mu hooked her lips indifferently, smiling victoriously as she whispered into Huo Tingying's ear, "Well done. I'll reward you when we get back."

"How will you reward me?"

Huo Tingying wanted to grab the woman in his arms, but Yun Mu had already run into the photography studio to start shooting.

Although she had run far away, that faint scent still lingered in his nostrils.

This little woman...

On the golden coast, with its fine golden sand, the time hunter fought through thorns and brambles, finally meeting his lover.

A love that transcended time and space, spanning the vastness of the universe.

In the end, the two embraced happily, guarding their territory and happiness together.

"Okay!"

The director shouted contentedly through the megaphone, waving his hand to halt all the staff members' work.

The shooting went exceptionally smoothly.

Generally speaking, newcomers would feel some nervousness and awkwardness when facing the camera for the first time, but apart from initially struggling a bit with the camera angles, Yun Mu quickly got into the swing of things.

"Miss Yun, your performance is truly excellent. Several shots were very moving. You really have talent. Go rest for now. We'll shoot your solo parts later." The director immediately said to Yun Mu with great enthusiasm, extremely excited. "You've perfectly embodied the role of the time hunter. It's flawless!"

Yun Mu nodded politely. "Alright, thank you, Director."

Passing by, Yun Chengdong sneered, "It was just a few compliments given to you for Ye Jue's sake. Do you really think you're talented now?"

Yun Mu didn't stop walking, letting out a cold laugh. "Whether I have talent or not, wasn't it right in front of your eyes?"

Yun Chengdong was momentarily at a loss.

Indeed, even Yun Chengdong had to admit that Yun Mu did possess a natural aptitude in this area.

Before the shoot, Yun Mu came across as arrogant and domineering, but once the cameras started rolling, her entire demeanor changed instantly.

Her enchanting and beautiful eyes immediately filled with emotion—sadness, sorrow, happiness, loneliness—each gaze was extraordinarily vivid.

Even Yun Shuiyao couldn't reach such a level.

"Third Brother, have some water and rest."

Yun Shuiyao, who had already washed her face and changed her clothes, handed over a bottle of water.

Yun Chengdong took it, taking a light sip.

"Third Brother, do you also feel that Sister is more suitable for this role than me?"

Yun Chengdong turned his head, looking at the disheartened Yun Shuiyao, consoling her, "No, you're ten thousand times more beautiful than her."

"Is that so?"

Yun Shuiyao looked towards Yun Mu in the distance. For some reason, she felt that Yun Mu's appearance seemed to have undergone a significant change.

As if...the scar on her face was truly gone.

Was that bloody scar there to cover up the wound, or to deceive others?

Yun Shuiyao clenched her fists.

"Don't worry, Third Brother will help you find a way back into the entertainment industry. Don't worry." Yun Chengdong patted her shoulder.

Yun Shuiyao composed herself, nodding obediently, "Mm, thank you, Third Brother."

Soon, Yun Mu changed into another outfit and began shooting solo photos.

Under the flashlights, a bright and ethereal little face was exquisitely beautiful, every frown and smile stunningly gorgeous.

Especially those bewitching and captivating eyes, like vortices that ensnared one's soul.

They possessed both the allure of a woman and the solemnity of a female warrior.

Yun Mu truly embodied the female hero of Time Hunter perfectly.

Huo Tingying sat in the lounge, his eyes fixed on the petite woman in front of the camera, constantly changing poses and expressions. His expression gradually became complicated.

Fragments flashed through Huo Tingying's mind.

On the howling train, a girl like a broken-winged butterfly, bathed in blood, her eyes pitiful...

Despite her wretched state, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

He had doubted more than once, but this time, he felt more familiar with her than ever before.

After a while, a low and slow voice emerged from his throat, "Feng Shuo, don't you feel like she seems familiar..."

"Her?" Feng Shuo raised his eyebrows. "Madam? Familiar to whom?"

But Huo Tingying only let out a deep, ambiguous laugh...
