Your Rival in Love Gets Prettier Every Day

Chapter 76: Slender Waist

When they returned home, Mrs. Yan and Yan Tiefeng were still in the living room. It was already late at night, yet they were waiting for him.

Yan Tiefeng smiled and asked: "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Shen Jintai said: "I'm a little disappointed but I've adjusted to it. It's only normal when five people are competing for a single prize, there's an 80% chance you'll fail."

Yan Tiefeng nodded and said: "Victory or defeat is commonplace for soldiers. This kind of thing will be indispensable in the future, and it will be the same in any circle."

"Alright, enough." Mrs. Yan tugged at him and said to Shen Jintai, "It's getting late. You must be very tired too. Go back and rest."

Yan Qiuchi followed him upstairs when Mrs. Yan stopped him: "Qiuchi, stay for a while. I have something to tell you."

After Shen Jintai went upstairs, she motioned to Yan Qiuchi to sit down and asked Yan Tiefeng to go back to his room to sleep.

Yan Tiefeng: "What's so secretive that you won't let me listen."

"About Qiuchi's company," Mrs. Yan said.

Yan Tiefeng smiled, probably knowing what she was going to say, so he went upstairs.

Yan Qiuchi unbuttoned his suit, sat down, and looked at her.

Mrs. Yan: "What do you think of Xiao Jin's acting? Is it good?"

Yan Qiuchi thought she was still annoyed about the award ceremony, so he replied: "There are many factors that made it hard for him to win tonight's award. It doesn't mean that his acting was worse than others."

"His popularity is now first-class in China, right?" Mrs. Yan asked again. Yan Qiuchi turned and looked at her. She continued: "Working with such an actor is also a good thing for Sunshine Media. He won't drag you down. If you have a good outlook, you must first consider Xiao Jin. Your company takes in so many projects every year. If there's a suitable one, you must choose him. Today's regret will be repaid."

Mrs. Yan was even more devastated and emotional than Shen Jintai himself.

Yan Qiuchi was silent for a while, then nodded: "I will."

Mrs. Yan then asked: "What happened to your watch?"

Yan Qiuchi, who getting up, glanced down at his wrist when he heard her question.

Mrs. Yan also stood up and said: "The watch you and Xiao Jin are wearing is the same model. Is it a coincidence?"

Yan Qiuchi said: "No." He was straightforward and didn't hide it: "I gave it to him on his birthday. I have this watch and thought it suited him, so I gifted him one as well."

Mrs. Yan thought this statement should be true. After all, if her son knew about couples' watches, he wouldn't be single at his age right now. However, she still felt there was something subtle between Yan Qiuchi's feelings for Shen Jintai.

"Go and rest," Mrs. Yan said: "My Xiao Jin is going to take best actor. Even if you don't help him, you have to at least let me get this off my chest. I'm extremely upset tonight."

Shen Jintai took a shower and then laid on his bed as he read his messages. Many people had sent him messages to comfort him. There were too many and he didn't want to reply to them so he let out a sigh, turned off the light and laid in the dark.

When he woke up the next day, the entire internet felt sorry for him. As a top idol, his fan wouldn't pity him too long, but he was so hot that he had successfully abused a handful of them. It wasn't only just gold powder that were injected with chicken blood and loyalty. Even many passersby have became fans. They pity Li Xu in the drama and now Shen Jintai in reality. Since then, his black history truly became history.
