Chapter 513: Get Your Dog Paws Off

Feng Tianming said, "Of course idols can’t date, but you’re not an idol yet, right? Even if you date now, it won’t affect your future. Look at Ning Xiaoyue, wasn’t it revealed she had dated before? But it was just resolved with a clarification, and she debuted a third time."

Zhou Wenkun said, "Brother Ming makes sense, so you’re saying I can date before joining the show?"

Feng Tianming replied, "Of course you can, trust me, I plan to get you the C-position. Do you think I would harm you?"

Zhou Wenkun laughed, "I definitely trust Brother Ming!"

Feng Tianming said, "Then go for it. This Ning Xiaoyue is really something special. If you can win her over, all the men in the world will envy you. But you can’t tell anyone, this can only be between us. After all, a public relationship will affect you, but a secret, unknown romance won’t matter."

Zhou Wenkun, egged on by Feng Tianming, indeed started thinking about it.

Still, he was a bit nervous and even a little insecure.

After all, Ning Xiaoyue is a popular star now, with incredible fame, while he is still unknown. Trying to woo Ning Xiaoyue seemed like aiming too high.

Feng Tianming silently cursed Zhou Wenkun for being a coward but encouraged him on the surface, "Kun Kun, consider this a test for you. You must know that it’s not easy to make it in the entertainment industry. If you don’t even have the courage to chase a girl, how will you survive here? Show me what you’ve got, and don’t forget, I said this Ning Xiaoyue is easy to woo."

Zhou Wenkun finally made up his mind, "I understand, Brother Ming. Watch me! I won’t let you down."

And so, Zhou Wenkun walked over to Ning Xiaoyue.

Feng Tianming watched his back and sneered with satisfaction, "This shabi, with just a few words from me, actually went through with it. He probably couldn’t even dream that Ning Xiaoyue has Lin Fan backing her! If he tries to woo Ning Xiaoyue, he’s offending Lin Fan. Do you think Lin Fan will let him go?"

Feng Tianming nearly laughed out loud.

His plan was simple: sending Zhou Wenkun to woo Ning Xiaoyue would surely irk her.

Over the past few days, he got to know Zhou Wenkun quite well, realizing he’s a Rich Second Generation. Before attempting to become an artist, he was a playboy with a bad temper and a penchant for chasing girls—a total wastrel. After his family sent him to the entertainment industry, he surprisingly excelled in singing and dancing, and he aspired to become a superstar.

Being a star means showing a positive image; he couldn’t act like a playboy anymore. So, his team packaged him as an honest, cute, hardworking person, concealing his true self.

But Feng Tianming knew his true nature all too well.

He foresaw that once Zhou Wenkun tangled with Ning Xiaoyue, trouble would surely follow.

Offending Ning Xiaoyue means offending Lin Fan behind her!

Once Lin Fan takes action against Zhou Wenkun, the situation will escalate.

As Cherry Entertainment’s rising star, Wei Jiansheng wouldn’t just sit by and do nothing!

The other day, Wei Jiansheng spoke with Feng Tianming, mentioning he wouldn’t take action against Lin Fan because it wasn’t worth it.

But if Zhou Wenkun offended Lin Fan, Wei Jiansheng would have no choice but to get involved.

This move is called baiting conflict, something Feng Tianming excelled at.

Sure enough, Zhou Wenkun took the bait.

At this moment, Ning Xiaoyue happened to be alone, her teammates having run to play elsewhere, leaving her by herself, playing with her phone.

Her teammates had invited her to join and meet the seniors present.

But Ning Xiaoyue had her thoughts, so she didn’t go.

Meanwhile, some people, out of jealousy, were sneering at Ning Xiaoyue.

She heard all the comments but chose to ignore them.

"Don’t mind what they think; I think you’re pretty great."

Zhou Wenkun smiled, flipping his hair, posing in what he considered a handsome manner.

But he hadn’t realized that when someone thinks they’re good-looking, they can come off as greasy, whether male or female. Overconfidence makes someone appear greasy.

To Ning Xiaoyue, Zhou Wenkun’s smile was overly greasy.

However, it was rare that Zhou Wenkun wasn’t causing trouble but trying to comfort her.

No matter what, Ning Xiaoyue couldn’t ignore a gesture of goodwill, so she politely said, "Thank you."

"Hello, I’m Zhou Wenkun," he said, extending his hand.

Ning Xiaoyue shook hands with him, "I am..."

Zhou Wenkun laughed, "You don’t need to say it, who doesn’t know who you are? You’re Ning Xiaoyue; is there anyone who doesn’t recognize you now?"

Zhou Wenkun held Ning Xiaoyue’s hand, seemingly reluctant to let go, and lightly squeezed it, maintaining his overly confident, greasy smile.

Ning Xiaoyue frowned, feeling something was off, and quickly pulled her hand back.

Zhou Wenkun said, "I think those who criticize you are just jealous because you’re too beautiful."

Ning Xiaoyue replied, "Thanks for standing up for me, but I have something to do now..."

Her meaning was clear; she didn’t want to continue the conversation. She felt something was off about him and wanted to get away.

Yet, Zhou Wenkun showed no intention of leaving. Since he came here to woo Ning Xiaoyue under Feng Tianming’s watchful eye, he couldn’t let Brother Ming down. He had to win over Ning Xiaoyue.

"Xiaoyue, can I call you that?" Zhou Wenkun asked.

Ning Xiaoyue reluctantly answered, "Hmm..."

Zhou Wenkun said, "How about we go over there for a drink? My treat. What do you like to drink? I’ll get it for you."

Ning Xiaoyue quickly declined, "Sorry, I don’t want a drink. I have something to do. I’ll find my teammates."

She wanted to escape. By now, she understood Zhou Wenkun wasn’t well-intentioned. Initially, he seemed to stand up for her, but he was just looking for an opportunity to get close.

This person surely had ulterior motives; getting rid of him quickly would prevent trouble.

Seeing her about to leave, Zhou Wenkun frowned. Something seemed wrong. Ning Xiaoyue didn’t get his hints at all. Previously, his tactics worked with every girl, but Ning Xiaoyue seemed uninterested.

No way, Brother Ming was still watching; he couldn’t let Brother Ming down. In the next year, he still had to follow Feng Tianming’s lead, aiming for the Creation Star’s C-position.

Now, the CEO of Cherry Entertainment, Wei Jiansheng, placed him under Feng Tianming’s guidance, meaning his future lay in Feng Tianming’s hands. Of course, he couldn’t disappoint him.

Moreover, he intended to impress Feng Tianming.

"Wait a minute," Zhou Wenkun called out to Ning Xiaoyue, reaching to grab her hand.

Ning Xiaoyue was just about to leave when he snatched her hand.

Ning Xiaoyue, quite annoyed, said, "Sorry, I really have to go. Please let go."

Zhou Wenkun smiled, "I won’t let go unless you agree to one thing."

Ning Xiaoyue only wanted to free herself, "What is it?"

Zhou Wenkun said, "Give me your number."

Ning Xiaoyue replied, "No, I really have to go."

Zhou Wenkun laughed, "If you don’t, I won’t let you leave. Xiaoyue, you know, the first time I saw you, I found you so cute, like I knew you."

Ning Xiaoyue became anxious, "Let go."

She tried to break free.

But Zhou Wenkun gripped her. As someone who practiced dancing often, his hand strength was no joke. Ning Xiaoyue couldn’t shake him off easily.

Just then.

"Take your filthy hand off."

A cold voice came, and Lin Fan, with a stern face, walked over from the side.
