Chapter 63 You Cannot Fire Me

Xiao Wei Sangqi glared fiercely at the director. "Are you the person in charge or me?"

"Uhm…" The director didn't dare to voice out again. He looked at Mu Xia pleadingly.

Without uttering a single word, Mu Xia turned around and headed back to the coffee shop. Soon, she changed into a fresh pair of clothes and filmed again.

She continuously did it for the second time and the third time…

Mu Xia had already lost count of how many clips that she had filmed. Eventually, she was running out of strength. Her lips turned from cherry-red to pearly-white.

However, Xiao Wei Sangqi clearly had no intentions of letting her go. Her expression had become increasingly insane.

"Again! You should run faster!"

Mu Xia remained silent and got changed.

The shooting had started once again. She pushed the door of the coffee shop. She ran two steps forward and a tall figure appeared in front of her.

The figure had blocked Mu Xia's path ahead. Thus, she hurriedly stopped in her tracks.

However, she staggered backward due to the slippery road. The umbrella in her hand fell onto the ground.

Mu Xia thought she would end up falling down like that umbrella. But, a strong hand held her waist and steadied her.

As soon as she balanced herself, she felt something blocking her view. A black jacket covered her head from the rain.

That strong hand wrapped his arms around her waist tightly.

「W-Who is this?」

She struggled instinctively to break free. Suddenly, she heard a deep and magnetic voice. "Turn off the rain machine! Stop filming!"

「Isn't that… Young Master Ye?」

She couldn't help but stop struggling. In the next second, the sound of rain had stopped.

Artificial rain machine had been turned off.

Xiao Wei Sangqi was shocked to see that scene from the monitor. Ye Sijue rushed into the rain to stop Mu Xia and caught her in his arms. Her heart ached terribly. Then, the feeling of fear started in her brain and spread through her limbs.

「Young Master Ye and Mu Xia… What's between them?」

"Young Master Ye!" Someone broke the silence with a greeting. Then, everyone else chimed in and greeted Ye Sijue.

Some of them unintentionally glanced at Xiao Wei Sangqi when they saw Ye Sijue holding Mu Xia in his arms.

A chill ran down Xiao Wei Sangqi's spine. She felt as if she had fallen into an icy abyss.

「I'm doomed… I'm totally screwed…

Who would have thought that the young master would protect a brand ambassador?」

Ye Sijue held Mu Xia's waist and walked towards a black MPV some distance away.

He strode forward. Suddenly, he stopped his footsteps when he passed Xiao Wei Sangqi by.

Ye Sijue's gaze was as cold as a sharp blade, piercing through Xiao Wei Sangqi. She immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

She dared not even look up. She wanted to bury her head in the sand so badly.

She didn't know how much time had passed. Or perhaps, it was only a few seconds. Ye Sijue left together with Mu Xia.

「He didn't say anything…」

It was probably because Xiao Wei Sangqi had previously been his secretary.

Apparently, Ye Sijue and Mu Xia weren't as close as she thought.

「Phew! Thank goodness…」

Xiao Wei Sangqi felt as if she had been brought back to life. Thus, she let out a long breath.

Then, she reached out and realized that a cold sweat had broken out on her forehead.

However, in the next second, Xiao Wei Sangqi heard Ye Sijue's voice from the front. "Tell everyone! Every company under Ye Group is not allowed to hire her in the future!"

「W-What? Is he talking about me?」

Xiao Wei Sangqi instantly snapped her head up and met Ye Sijue's dark eyes.

His eyes were sharp as a knife, showing no mercy to her.

If Ye Group announced that they would blacklist a person from working in the company forever, it actually meant that the other companies wouldn't dare to hire her either.

She was being banned by the entire industry!

Xiao Wei Sangqi's legs gave out and fell onto the ground.

The road was wet due to the artificial rain. She looked miserable.

「How could this be? I was just doing my job. How could Young Master Ye ban me without even asking anything? No way!」

Xiao Wei Sangqi struggled to get up from the ground and quickly ran towards Ye Sijue.

"Young Master Ye! Hear me out! You cannot fire me without understanding the situation!"
