The movie producer who was sitting right next to Lu Dao went a little further. He said, "If you get to convince Miss Feng Xinying to work for the movie, I will increase the budget." All the producers and directors sitting at the table started laughing.

Once the joke was over, Lu Dao looked at Feng Xinying again and said, "I am very serious Miss Xinying. Please let me know about your final answer as soon as possible. I have really delayed filming of this movie."

Feng Xinying nodded politely.

The dinner got over soon after that and Wu Bosun left with Ru Shishi in a huff. The news of Feng Xinying in a relationship with Xie Yuansheng was like a jolt to him. He was very disturbed and angry. He had waited for her for a long time only so that he could date her at one point of time, but his hopes shattered that day.

Others exited the dining area together and went to the exit, where they waited for the valet to bring the cars. While all of them were talking to each other, Xie Yuansheng and Feng Xinying were unusually quiet. The valet brought their car and Xie Yuansheng sat in the driver's seat. Feng Xinying sat in the passenger seat. She could see that he was furious. Before he started the car, he bent over her and strapped her. Then he moved the car's gear to drive mode and zoomed the car out. They drove in silence. Xie Yuansheng's cold demeanor was too much to bear. The temperature of the atmosphere around them had dropped to sub-zero. His iciness was like shards piercing in her heart.

Feng Xinying explained Xie Yuansheng in the best possible way, "The dinner was out of the blue Xie Yuansheng. Why are you reacting so strangely to it? Since you had also gone for the event and had texted me that you would be late home after dinner, I thought that I can have dinner with Wu Bosun and Ru Shishi. Wu Bosun had been requesting for dinner with me for a long time now. He is a celebrity who hardly has time for anyone. How can I act so mighty for no reason when he invited me for the second time? Plus he wanted to take Ru Shishi out. He said that he hadn't taken her out anywhere and this would be a nice opportunity. I had sent you a text mentioning that I am going for dinner with them."

Xie Yuansheng was furious. He swirled the car to the side of the road on a secluded street and got out. In his frustration he closed the door with a loud bang and kicked the car. Seeing her having dinner with Wu Bosun made him extremely jealous. He couldn't contain his anger. He was extremely upset. He kicked the car again, this time making Feng Xinying jump in her seat.

Feng Xinying came out of the car and went to his side. "Xie Yuansheng, stop behaving like a child! It is not my fault if you don't read messages."

Xie Yuansheng was so angry that the moment she chided him, he shouted back at her. "I never received any messages from you. I checked my phone before leaving the event venue only to give you a benefit of doubt. When I asked you to accompany me to the event, you refused. Why? So that you could come and have dinner with Wu Bosun?"

Feng Xinying looked at him, hurt apparent in her eyes. She lowered her voice and said, "You are falsely accusing me. I didn't come with you because the studio owner was creating havoc out there and the entire agency was held up. Dinner with Wu Bosun was the last minute decision. I already told you that he had been insisting for a long time. It would have seemed rude if I had not accepted it. Plus he is not a person to trifle with."

Xie Yuansheng was consumed with jealousy at that point of time. He held Feng Xinying's hand and pulled her near him. He pushed her to the car and pinned her there with his body, holding her hands above her hands behind her. "Why would my wife go for dinner with a stranger?"

Feng Xinying tried to get out of his grip, but her feeble attempts were unsuccessful. "Leave me Xie Yuansheng. You are hurting me," she cried as his weight crushed her.

"The pain that you are receiving is nothing compared to what I feel in my heart. My heartache is like fire that is burning my body and my soul, leaving me without oxygen. When I saw you there with him, I felt as though someone had kept a red hot coal on my chest, and I am burning right now."

Feeling dejected by his behavior, and also suffering from the pain he was giving her, Feng Xinying started crying. She broke into loud sobs and in between her tears, she said, "Xie Yuansheng, leave me, please…"
