Revenge Sevenfold

They ate their noodles in silence, the TV blaring quietly in the background.

Hui Yin was closely observing Lu Shen, wanting to know what this Great Dragon King would think of the commoner's instant noodles.

To her surprise, after his initial expression of shock when he tasted it, Lu Shen finished eating his noodles at an astonishing speed.

He even looked disappointed after he finished slurping the remaining bit of soup, peeking at her from time to time to check if she would magically reproduce another bowl of instant noodles from her hands.

"That's it," Hui Yin said helplessly, a bit surprised at seeing this familiar expression of Lu Shen. "I didn't cook anything else."

During their marriage, even though the mansion had specifically hired several executive chefs and sous chefs to prepare their meals, Lu Shen had requested that only Hui Yin could cook his meals.

This gave a lot of pressure on Hui Yin, who did not know the kind of fine dining that Lu Shen would want. She studied a lot of recipes, and watched a lot of cooking videos on Youku-Todou just to satisfy his appetite.

She thought it was because she finally mastered the art of cooking luxurious dishes that Lu Shen polished off every meal she had cooked and even asked for seconds.

But these instant noodles...didn't she just boil it?

So how could this spoiled young master still think that it was delicious?

Hui Yin shook her head and didn't think anything more of it. There were more important things in her mind.

"Lu Shen, I'm going to audition tomorrow for a PV."

He was eyeing her unfinished bowl of noodles when she spoke, so he looked a bit disoriented.

"Whose PV?"

"Liu Jun's."

His answer was immediate. "No."

"I'm going," Hui Yin said calmly.

She had already expected his reply, so she wasn't the least bit bothered by it.

"No."

Hui Yin finished eating her noodles and was putting both of their bowls on the sink.

"Yes. I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. I'm going to that audition no matter what you say."

So go on and tell Nian Zhen, Hui Yin thought silently in her mind. And she could go and tell the old master and madam who would blackmail me with our engagement.

But this time, it wouldn't work, because that's exactly what I'm aiming for.

"No." Lu Shen's stare was sharp on her back, as if he knew the thoughts that were running inside her head.

"If you go to that audition, I will personally target that male singer until he could never show his face in the entertainment circle ever again."

Hui Yin dropped the bowls in her hands, which made a loud clanging sound as it fell on the sink.

Hui Yin was aghast, and turned towards Lu Shen with a pale face.

"You wouldn't!"

His gaze was steady. "I would."

Hui Yin felt her hands tremble, and quickly hid them behind her back. She knew he could do it. Although the Lu Corporation was a software conglomerate that heavily invested in emerging technologies, it had also purchased several companies under its name, including those that deal with the entertainment business. Against the CEO and Chairman of a company that had long ago joined the top ranks of global titans, what could a little singer like Liu Jun do?

"Lu Shen," Hui Yin softened her voice, fighting against the panic that was slowly engulfing her, "I need to go to this audition. This is my dream, and my livelihood. Even if you don't like it, you still need to respect my decision. I'm your fiancée, not your prisoner."

"No."

That firm one-word reply finally made Hui Yin lose her temper.

"Shit, just what is it exactly that you want me to do?!"

"Become my secretary."

Lu Shen's eyes were a bit cold, and he was sitting straight on his chair like a tyrant.

His hair had already started to dry, and although it was uncombed, it still looked soft and silky to the touch.

"I can't be an actress and a secretary at the same time!" Hui Yin felt the urge to throw the bowls at his head. "Choose something else!"

His long and slender fingers slowly tapped on the table, and he looked as if he was seriously considering her request.

After a long moment, he finally glanced at her and spoke in a steady, leisure tone.

"Alright."

Before she could let out a sigh, Lu Shen added, "Xiao Yin, I'll make you a deal."

That made Hui Yin shiver deep in her heart.

This didn't happen before in her past life, so who knew what kind of shady deal this indifferent tycoon in front of her would cook up?

Hui Yin took a deep breath.

The problem was, she didn't have a choice. With Fei Hong out of the country, this audition was her best chance.

For her dream, she would do just about anything.
