Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Jun asked Chyou, who was on the other line with a grave voice, “Are you sure?”

A deep, frustrated sigh escaped her lips. “Yes. The only suspicious action about the judges is that they entered a room together to discuss the whole bribery issue. But I find no evidence of anybody approaching them before that. Their texts and calls are also clean. I don’t know how Cai Guiying contacted them. Ugh! How could this be.?”

Jun lowered his gaze and watched Ai whose head was resting on his lap as she slept. She was naked under his white shirt that covered her upper body. He himself sat upright on the couch, half-naked with his bare chest in full view. His fingers were gently brushing across her soft hair strands.

Her face lit his lips with a loving smile, but his eyes carried frostiness in them. “Is that so…”

Chyou asked, “Are you sure this woman is the culprit? She didn’t do anything skeptical during the whole Summit. During the first break, she was at her own table. In the second break she did move, but it was towards the ladies’ room. Then outside at a distance, I saw Yating talking to her when she stepped out. So, I am not sure when she got the chance to talk to the judges.”

Jun let out a breath. “I don’t know how she did it, but it’s definitely her. She…She is Ai’s enemy.”_.

Recalling all the past grievances that Ai had to face because of Guiying, including her failed career and death, Jun knew it was Guiying’s doing. He swore that he would make Guiying and Yating suffer hell in this life and make them pay for all their sins they committed against Ai.

“It’s only her doing. Her so-called friendship in the end just turned out to be a big facade, and I won’t forgive her for this. It’s fine if there is no evidence of her crimes,” he eyes flashed with hostility, “the judges will puke her name. I will make them until they gut out every single thing.”

There was a pause.

Chyou then said, “I heard about everything that happened at your house. It’s sad and shocking to see you and Shui breakup,” there was a lament in her voice, “but also happy to know that you found someone you love. It’s not easy to move on after how you had…” she sighed, “But I am glad everything worked out for you in the end. Hehe, so when will you introduce Zhou Ai to me? She must be someone really special that could make such a place in your heart.”

His gaze softened as he traced the back of his fingers on her cheek. “En. She is really special.”

They hung up after talking for a bit, and Jun rested his head back, closing his eyes softly.

“Who was that?”

Jun opened his eyes in surprise and looked down to see Ai staring at him curiously. He coughed. “Sorry, did I talk too loudly and disturb your sleep?”

She shook her head. “No.”

Jun smiled and lifted her to make her sit on his lap. Their bare chests were only separated by Jun’s shirt. He felt an itch seeing her exposed shoulders though.

“*Ahem!* Well, she is Zhu Chyou. She is Zhu Xiaosi’s daughter. The Zhu family is friends with the Liu family like the Han and Xu families. She is an A-listed actress and as a side business, a hacker too. I asked her to check if she could find evidence against the culprit.”

Ai tilted her head and blinked as she realized. She softly gasped. “I have seen her movies. She is a brilliant actress. I love all her works,” her eyes twinkled like stars in the night sky. “You know her?”

Jun raised his brow. “You seem to be her fan.”

Ai nodded hard. “I wasn’t always interested in movies that much but once I saw one of her movies on…Guiying’s insistence.”

Jun’s expression darkened.

Cai Guiying…

Ai quickly brought his attention back. “Anyway so I watched one, and I really liked her from then on,” Ai was in full fangirl mode. “Her expressions are so spot on. Her dialog delivery is so amazing. She has given me a lot of inspiration for how my characters should act in my novels,” she shone eben brighter now, “Even after winning so many awards and with her A-listed actress reputation, she is always so humble and down-to-earth. I appreciate that about her. She is really amazing.”

An arrow struck right through Jun’s heart watching her innocent fangirling for the first time. He pinched her cheeks. “I see.”

She twiddled with her fingers and expectantly asked, “Since you know Zhu Chyou…can you ask her if I can get her autograph if possible?” She slightly blushed.

A second arrow pierced his heart, and he almost died with cuteness overload.

This is not good. She looks cute whatever expression she makes.

He chuckled. “Why just autograph? You should meet her too. In fact, she just said now before hanging up that she wants to meet my girlfriend,” he proudly smirked.

Ai blossomed like a beautiful flower at that and held in her breath. “Zhu Chyou wants to meet me?”

She felt a rush of excitement as that of any fan who would meet their favorite star. Here, the star herself said that she wanted to meet her.

“Yeah. Then you can talk to her as much as you want.”

Ai’s ears perked up in delight. She hugged Jun in happiness. “I always wanted to meet Zhu Chyou in my past life at least once or at least get her autograph. But I never got the chance. And now I know she is a hacker too. That’s so cool. I feel so happy that I will get to meet her!”

Jun was really surprised to see this side of Ai’s. He never thought she idolized anybody like this. His heart ached to know that her wish never got fulfilled in the past life.

He held her head, placing a firm kiss on her lips. “Ai. This time, there won’t be any unfulfilled wishes. I will give you everything you want. Just name it, and you will have it.”

A warm, fuzzy feeling flurried in her chest, bringing tears to her eyes, “Thank you, Jun.”
