Cheng Yunling felt like a dark cloud was hovering over Tan Mingjin.

At this moment, her previous joy at 'earning through hard work' had all but vanished from her mind.

Instead, a ball of thoughts that resembled yarn connected the dots.

Shi Qing likes his uncle.

And she had persuaded him to courageously follow his heart.

Now Shi Qing wasn't able to confess, and he dragged her down as well.

He was President Tan's nephew. So no matter how angry Tan Mingjin was, the man wouldn't do anything too drastic to his only relative.

But it was different for an outsider like her.

There was only one word left in Cheng Yunling's head at this stage.

-Run!!!

"President Tan, Young Master Shi, A-Zhi and I have to hurry back to the set, so we won't bother you anymore. We'll be going first! See you later!"

After saying that, she ran away like a startled rabbit, dragging her bemused boyfriend out with her.

Shi Qing didn't stop them this time because he had already accomplished his objective. Instead, he casually leaned back in his chair, directing an innocent and lost look at the man across from him.

Maybe because the outsiders had left and Tan Mingjin's face was a truly terrifying shade of black, but Shi Qing's voice softened again. He spoke in a self-deprecating tone to no one in particular.

"Uncle, are you really angry with me? It was just a joke. Don't be so petty."

Don't! Be! So-

Luckily, Tan Mingjin's long journey to the top had tempered his anger. If a lesser man experienced all the ups and downs that he had today, they might just faint from all the rage caused by this unfilial brat.

If anyone else put him through so much turmoil, Tan Mingjin would've definitely snapped by now.

But for some reason, when the man saw Shi Qing act smug, like he was sure Tan Mingjin wouldn't actually do anything to him, all the resentment bottled up inside faded away.

He slightly shifted his hand. A trace of the youth's warmth seemed to still remain on the thinly calloused palm.

Shi Qing has always been a rambunctious and flighty child. Although he didn't exercise regularly like the introverted Tan Mingjin, he was in good health. His hand was much warmer than the man's.

This warmth permeated the man's hand when it was held.

Even his heart began to warm.

But it ended up being a joke played on him by the little guy.

His hand had already returned to its normal temperature by now. Tan Mingjin felt disappointed, but he wasn't sure why. Was it because Shi Qing had let go, or was it because it was all a joke?

Little Shi Qing was looking at him with guilt in his eyes. His expression was filled with trepidation. It was a little pitiable. His little mouth no longer babbled like before. It was nervously pressed into a thin line.

The last remnants of frustration in Tan Mingjin's heart dissipated at the sight.

The man didn't think that Shi Qing was purposely going against him like he used to. Now, he just thought that the little guy was worried his uncle was angry at him for pranking him.
