After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 140 Do you... have a little crush on me?

In that instant, a whole host of ideas popped into Gong Yao's mind like fireworks exploding.

"I'm...sorry?"

The two people in the room turned to look at her when they heard the door open, and Gong Yao had to squeeze out a reply.

"Huh?" Sheng Hanyu quickly realized that he and Ye Sanqing were too close, and immediately took a step back.

Since the room wasn't very big, there were only two single sofas against the wall with a small table between them.

Just now, in order to speak, Sheng Hanyu stood up and leaned down to whisper in Ye Sanqing's ear. He stepped back, and his back pressed against the cold wall.

The temperature gave him a jolt.

Sheng Hanyu was secretly annoyed that he had been careless and had suddenly lost his sense of distance in front of Ye Sanqing.

"You're back, that's perfect." Ye Sanqing waved, seemingly unconcerned, her attitude quite open.

The few steps he had taken were enough for Gong Yao to see the current situation clearly.

She felt a strange, indescribable feeling.

Just now, she had a fleeting thought that "Is my third sister going to be my sister-in-law?"... But upon closer inspection, it wasn't a bad idea, and it seems like she had been hoping for nothing.

"Uh, what are you two talking about?" Gong Yao asked as he sat down on the edge of the bed facing them.

“…It’s nothing.” Sheng Hanyu hesitated for a moment, because Gong Yao absolutely could not know about Mu Zimo’s matter.

Because of that momentary hesitation, the idea that Gong Yao had just suppressed immediately rekindled.

Wait a minute... it seems my cousin isn't entirely without intentions after all...

Sheng Hanyu sat back in her original seat and winked at Ye Sanqing.

"Oh, they were talking about Xiao Deng's family," Ye Sanqing said, and then she recounted the story.

Through Sheng Hanyu's hints and her deliberately low voice, Ye Sanqing knew that Mu Zimo's identity could not be exposed casually, so he ignored this part.

"...That makes sense." When Gong Yao heard that it was a serious matter, he stopped thinking about other things and gave his evaluation after consideration.

"We asked you to leave first because we needed to finish talking with them," Sheng Hanyu explained. "I didn't expect you wouldn't be here when I came back."

Gong Yao gave Sheng Hanyu a strange look.

He was definitely acting strangely! Normally, he wouldn't bother to explain something like this.

Okay, okay, I'll go check in at the "Prosperous and Peaceful Era" super topic now.

“But is it really necessary? Just let them know and make sure they’re safe…” Gong Yao said hesitantly. “This is different from Xiao Ming’s situation. They’ve already been directly harmed there, but this is just a possibility.”

"Although they are all evil forces, their nature is different, and the intensity of their retaliation will be completely different."

Although Gong Yao had spent a few days with Ye Sanqing, he knew that the other party was probably a person with a strong sense of justice... but this deal was too unprofitable.

“She also testified on Xiaoming’s behalf,” Sheng Hanyu reminded her.

In fact, if Mu Zimo hadn't mentioned Ye Sanqing, he probably would have asked Gong Yao, since they could be considered to have a conflict of interest.

Was this guy doing it on purpose...?

But what's the reason? There doesn't seem to be any compelling reason to do so.

Sheng Hanyu couldn't figure it out and decided to put it aside for the time being.

“That’s true.” Gong Yao nodded. “Alright, I’ll lend a hand since she testified.”

Ye Sanqing nodded. "My plan is to wipe them out in one fell swoop after they pose a real threat. At least we need to teach Gao's parents a lesson."

“No problem, I’ll send someone to keep an eye on it,” Sheng Hanyu said.

"I'll do it. As their boss, I have to do something too, right?" Ye Sanqing said with a smile, remembering that he also had a team of bodyguards. "But this is all I can do for now. The rest is up to you."

“Okay, we’ll discuss any progress later.” Gong Yao nodded.

Seeing that things had been discussed enough, Sheng Hanyu said she was going back to rest.

As soon as he stepped out, Gong Yao took the opportunity to follow him out. "Brother, I have something to ask you."

Sheng Hanyu was startled, "Huh?"

Gong Yao: ...Are you my cousin or my biological brother? It seems like only my biological brother would be so absent-minded all day long.

"Speaking of which..." Gong Yao pulled him to the balcony in the corridor before speaking, "Do you... have a bit of a crush on Third Sister?"

No, she couldn't suppress the burning fire of gossip in her heart; she had to get to the bottom of this today!

Sheng Hanyu was taken aback by her question and paused for a moment before falling into deep thought.

Do you have feelings for her?

Of course they do get along; at least as friends, they seem to get along quite naturally.

But there are many more things he hasn't thought about yet.

Besides, it would be too frivolous to talk about liking someone after only knowing them for such a short time.

Sheng Hanyu has never believed in love at first sight.

Even if his parents were in love at first sight, their married life made Sheng Hanyu doubt it...

So, we're definitely friends now!

"That's a very rude question," Sheng Hanyu said helplessly after drawing her conclusion. "Don't you have any feelings for him?"

Gong Yao isn't exactly a sex-obsessed person, and he genuinely never expected to hear such a question from her.

"Oh...oh...of course I do, isn't that obvious? Third Sister is so perfect, who wouldn't like her?"

Gong Yao had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on when he saw that Gong Yao answered the question with a rhetorical question.

Unfortunately, it seems this guy doesn't even know it yet.

That would be even better, so she could observe it up close!

As for what Ye Sanqing thought, Gong Yao wasn't worried at all.

Anyway, if Third Sister doesn't like someone, she'll definitely just throw them away.

"You know it's obvious, why ask?" Sheng Hanyu tapped her forehead with her finger. "Don't go checking in on any CP (couple) supertopics."

He recognized her gaze; it was the look of someone wanting to ship a couple!

Gong Yao covered his head and protested, "I never thought of that!"

I'll create a new account and go again; I guarantee none of you will be able to find out!

When Gong Yao returned, he still asked Ye Sanqing, "What do you think of my brother?"

"Who?" Ye Sanqing, who was already half-lying on the bed with a book open, looked up when he heard this and said, "Your two brothers are doing well."

"Be more specific?" Since she mentioned two people, Gong Yao decided not to reveal his target and continued to ask.

"Uh... he's just a normal person..." Ye Sanqing thought for a moment and said, "He's quite easy to get along with. Oh, and being a good cook is one of your cousin's greatest strengths."

Ye Sanqing: It's a pity I can't recruit him to be the imperial chef...

"He's quite capable; he's loved tinkering with things since he was little." Gong Yao sensed the regret in Ye Sanqing's words, but she assumed he was just disappointed that he couldn't eat Sheng Hanyu's cooking.

"Third sister, come to our house often in the future, and let him cook."

"Okay, I'll make an appointment when I have time," Ye Sanqing nodded.

Gong Yao: It seems there's still some hope!

Mu Zimo returned to his room and saw Cheng Yanye playing a game as soon as he opened the door.

Ugh, I have to stay with this guy for two more days...

Mu Zimo walked past Cheng Yanye, preparing to go to the balcony for a smoke.

"Where were you just now?"

Cheng Yanye suddenly asked.

The commotion of the police car parked downstairs was quite significant. He watched Mu Zimo leave with them, and then it became a trending topic.

It's not surprising that Ye Sanqing would get Gao Feibai imprisoned.

Cheng Yanye was a little happy, after all, Gao Feibai was a real pain to anyone who saw him.

But then he felt a pang of sorrow, a sense of shared loss, how to put it...

With Cheng Yanye's limited thinking, he couldn't understand what was going on. He could only conclude that Ye Sanqing's happiness made him unhappy.

Fortunately, this woman didn't let Gao Feibai succeed, otherwise he would have lost his appetite.

But the question is, what does this have to do with Mu Zimo?

He even took photos with his fans...

Speaking of which, the fans who asked for photos at the barbecue restaurant just now quickly posted the photos. Everyone can see that Ye Sanqing and the others are in a very good mood, and they don't look like anything has happened at all.

Cheng Yanye gritted his teeth. Why did they all get to increase their exposure?

Yes, although Cheng Yanye never intended to be a proper idol, he still felt resentful when he saw others with higher exposure than him.

"Me?" Mu Zimo looked back at him in surprise. "Little brother, are you mistaken? Since when did you become qualified to interfere in my affairs?"

"Give me a cigarette." Cheng Yanye reached out his hand directly to him.

"My cigarettes are expensive, go buy them yourself if you want to smoke them." Mu Zimo couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention.

"I don't want to go out, I'll transfer you money, okay?" Cheng Yanye scratched his head in frustration, took out his phone and sent a red envelope.

"No smoking in the room." Mu Ziming received the red envelope and didn't waste any words. He simply took out an unopened pack of cigarettes from his suitcase and tossed it to him.

"Okay, okay." Cheng Yanye picked up a hotel match and went out to the balcony to smoke.

Once on the balcony, he started dwelling on the previous topic again. "Why do I feel like you're always siding with Ye Sanqing?"

"..." Mu Zimo exhaled a puff of smoke before turning to look at him, only to find that he genuinely hadn't noticed and was simply guessing. "Really? I didn't. It must be your imagination, right?"

"You don't actually like her, do you?!" Cheng Yanye suddenly exclaimed as if he had just realized something. "Let me tell you, don't try to steal my woman."

"Huh???" Mu Ziming seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and almost dropped the cigarette in his hand.

"No..." He steadied the cigarette in his hand and said again, "No, huh??"

"I'm engaged to her, you can't take her away no matter what!" Cheng Yanye declared as if declaring war. Seeing Mu Zimo's astonished expression, he became even more convinced that he had guessed correctly, and his tone became even more forceful.

"..." Mu Zimo felt a headache coming on.

He knew that Cheng Yanye was not quite right in the head, but could someone's mind really be this abnormal?

He simply didn't know how to respond to such a mentally unstable statement.

"Otherwise, why are you always on her side? Didn't you say you were here to help me?" Cheng Yanye pressed. "What exactly does tonight's incident have to do with you?"

"When did I say I'd come to help you..."

Mu Zimo chose the most direct point to counterattack.

He always does things as he pleases, focusing on what makes him happy, never imagining he'd ever need to explain himself.

However, although Cheng Yanye didn't know the details, he did ask the right question.

He had no reason to absolutely help Ye Sanqing.
