Gu Sheng held up his hands in surrender, panic flickering in his eyes. "No, that's not what I meant at all!" he protested.
"Hmm?" Yang Lingyun's unpleasant hum filled the room, a clear sign that he wasn't buying Gu Sheng's words.
"These photos are just normal for promotional purposes..." Gu Sheng tried to explain, choosing his words carefully to avoid further aggravating Yang Lingyun.
He could see that his attempts to rationalize the situation were only firing up Yang Lingyun's already sour mood.
Yang Lingyun drummed his fingers on his thigh. "Find a way to join the investor team for this music video," he commanded after a moment of thought.
Gu Sheng stood there like a fool, blinking in confusion. "But young miss Xia must already have all the necessary investment for the shoot. Why would she need a new investor?" he asked, genuinely baffled by Yang Lingyun's sudden demand.
