Xia Mengrui's jaw clenched with impatience, the passing seconds only intensifying her frustration as she noticed Qin Ran's wavering gaze.

"For you to sing? You, of all people, can't even carry a tune," Qin Ran sneered, her tone dripping with disdain. 

"Yah! Are you purposely trying to tick me off?" Xia Mengrui pounced at Qin Ran, grabbing her shirt and jerking her. "Aren't you afraid that I'll expose how you slept with the CEO of Xing Jing Entertainment?"
