Evil Duo of Limelight Chapter 1

Ethan Lu wore a big mask and walked among the men and women in the bar.

The DJ was professionally playing deafening dance music, the lights were dim, and people had to put their mouths close to each other's ears in order to hear each other clearly.

Ethan Lu has always felt that the ear-piercing music in the bar was meant to give people an excuse for intimate contact, so as to raise the ambiguous atmosphere in this space to the highest point.

There were faint bloodshot in his eyes, but he showed no emotion. He walked calmly through the crowd towards the private room area in the bar.

People passing by looked at him strangely. Nowadays, even big stars don't wear masks when entering nightclubs. After all, in a place where people compete to see who wears less or tighter clothes, wearing a mask will attract more attention.

Ethan Lu has been so busy lately that he is dizzy. Now he can fall asleep if he closes his eyes for more than five seconds. He just finished today's shooting 20 minutes ago and was catching up on some sleep in the nanny car. He was in such a hurry when he got out of the car that he didn't even take off his mask.

He walked to the private room area, turned on his cell phone, and looked at the room number that had just been sent from an unfamiliar number, 002. There was a picture below the number, showing two pairs of hands clasped together. One of the hands had a men's silver ring on the ring finger, which was shining silver in the dim environment.

The style of the ring was what Ethan Lu liked - of course, he had picked the ring himself and even remembered the price.

He walked to private room 002, took a deep breath, and then opened the door.

Inside, two men were hugging each other, one of them pressed the other against the wall, and they were K!ssing passionately.

What a great scene, Ethan Lu thought, if one of them wasn't his boyfriend.

The two people who were K!ssing passionately came to their senses and saw the person coming. The man who pressed the person against the wall widened his eyes and immediately stood up straight, looking at Ethan Lu at a loss, "...Ethan Lu? You, you are not on the set?"

Ethan Lu raised his hand and turned on all the lights in the private room. He saw the small tent under Xu Ze and sneered.

He also recognized the man who was pressed against the wall by Xu Ze. He was the actor he had worked with in his last TV series, Blake Liu. He was leaning against the wall, looking straight at Ethan Lu.

There were a dozen bottles of wine on the table in the private room. Ethan Lu bent down, picked up an empty bottle and weighed it in his hand.

Xu Ze immediately panicked, "Ethan Lu, listen to my explanation, don't be impulsive."

Ethan Lu turned a deaf ear to him. He stood up and smashed the bottle in his hand towards the two men!

"boom---"

Ethan Lu's move was too fast, and the two men had no time to react. The wine bottle just brushed past Xu Ze's face and instantly smashed into pieces near his ear.

Blake Liu, who was standing next to him, changed his expression from smug to terrified in an instant. He clutched Xu Ze's sleeve tightly and huddled in his neck like a frightened little animal.

After smashing the wine bottle, Ethan Lu walked out of the private room without looking back. From the time he came in to the time he left, he never even opened his mouth.

There was silence in the private room for a moment. Ethan Lu was like a gust of wind, coming and going quickly. Xu Ze looked at the glass fragments on the floor and swallowed. This must be a tornado.

Xu Ze pulled himself out of the shock and finally regained some of his intelligence. He frowned and asked Blake Liu beside him: "Did you do this?"

Xu Ze is the big boss of Star Entertainment Company. He has been in the love field for so many years and has long been adept at dealing with relationships. When he had lovers, he had never been caught cheating.

Xu Ze is a man who is notoriously amorous and ruthless. He has dated so many people but has never been attached to any of them. He always breaks up cleanly and neatly, and never even looks back when he dumps someone. Blake Liu has been doting on him recently and has long seen that Xu Ze is not satisfied with Ethan Lu.

Otherwise, how could it be possible that every time she came to see him she looked hungry?

He didn't care how promiscuous Xu Ze was, he just wanted to take the boss's position and get more resources. The most urgent thing was to kick the boss out first.

He said aggrievedly, "I'm sorry, I...I really like you too much."

Xu Ze wanted to chase after her, but when he saw the broken glass on the ground, he shrank back. He sighed and could only comfort the little lover in his arms first.

Ethan Lu walked out of the bar and got into the nanny car waiting at the door.

Assistant Mason Xiao immediately handed over the water bottle and tactfully asked no further questions, "Brother Yan, can I take you home?"

Ethan Lu closed his eyes again, hummed lightly, and asked: "Last time, Noah Lin asked me how long my contract with Xingyu will last?"

Mason Xiao quickly replied, "Four days later, the contract extension with Star Entertainment will be scheduled for the day after tomorrow."

Ethan Lu didn't say anything else.

After returning to the apartment, Ethan Lu threw his phone on the bed and went to take a shower.

When he came out, the moisture on his body was still there. He turned on his cell phone, and found that in the ten minutes he had spent in the shower, there were eleven missed calls, all from unfamiliar numbers.

You can guess who is calling with your toes.

While drinking water, Ethan Lu added all these unfamiliar numbers to his cell phone blacklist, letting them accompany Xu Ze's number.

Ethan Lu is an artist of Xu Ze's company, but his current high fame has nothing to do with Xu Ze. It is the result of the joint efforts of himself and his agent Noah Lin. Xu Ze started pursuing him at the anniversary dinner of Star Entertainment last year, when he was already a first-line male star.

Xu Ze pursued Ethan Lu for ten months before he finally agreed to give it a try. Unexpectedly, within less than two months, he cheated on her.

Now that he thought about it carefully, Xu Ze might have changed several bed partners when he was pursuing him. Thinking of this, Ethan Lu felt even more disgusted.

In the past two months, Xu Ze had mentioned that request to him many times, but Ethan Lu told him clearly that he wanted to be on top. Xu Ze had never been a 0, and Ethan Lu had never been in a relationship with a man. Until now, no solution had been finalized. Ethan Lu was now very glad that he was determined to be a 1, otherwise... he would vomit just thinking about it.

A week later, the news that Ethan Lu would not renew his contract with Star Entertainment became a hot topic on Weibo.

Noah Lin held up his phone and said with a smile, "Hey, Yicai Company? Hello, hello... Hey, yes, my Xiaoyan's contract is about to expire, and we haven't decided on a new company yet. Yes, yes, yes, we feel your company's sincerity, but we haven't decided yet... Hey, okay, okay, bye."

Noah Lin's expression changed immediately after he hung up the phone. He asked the people around him with a tired look, "Which company do you want to go to? My phone has been almost blown up these days. Just think of it as sympathy for me and make a decision quickly."

Ethan Lu had just finished filming a scene and was sitting there playing with his phone. He said nonchalantly, "I haven't thought about it yet. What do you think?"

"I don't think it's important. It's OK as long as you feel comfortable. Things are different now than before. We have no shortage of resources and can live comfortably anywhere," said Noah Lin.

Noah Lin met Ethan Lu four years ago, and the two hit it off immediately. Noah Lin helped Ethan Lu become a popular figure. Although they had not known each other for long, they had a strong relationship. If Ethan Lu wanted to terminate his contract, Noah Lin would definitely follow him out of Star Entertainment.

Ethan Lu: "Which companies want to sign me?"

Noah Lin smiled proudly: "No company would not want to sign you."

This sounds arrogant, but it is true. Ethan Lu has good looks and a good figure. He is not from a professional class but has outstanding acting skills. He will soon switch to the film industry and prepare to sprint towards the best actor. He has good private life habits and does not like to have one-night stands or cause trouble. Who wouldn't want such an artist?

Thinking of this, Noah Lin silently added, he graduated from a prestigious university, his IQ alone can beat a lot of people in the circle in seconds. If Ethan Lu didn't want to rely on his acting skills to get ahead, and if he hadn't worked hard on his image as a top student, he might be even more popular now!

Ethan Lu rubbed his temples: "Let's talk about it later. Actually, I plan to open my own studio."

Noah Lin's eyes lit up. This coincided with his idea! "Then what are you thinking about? Let's get started! First, invest the resources in yourself, and then after a year or two, when your position is solid, we will start signing others!"

Ethan Lu: "It's just a bit troublesome. I'll think about it."

Knowing that Ethan Lu was always afraid of trouble, Noah Lin nodded, "Okay."

Noah Lin had just walked out to ask the director about the shooting time when Xu Ze arrived on the set. After finding Ethan Lu in the dressing room, he locked the door.

When he saw Xu Ze, Ethan Lu just raised his eyes and continued to play with his phone, unaffected at all.

Xu Ze looked helpless: "Xiao Yan, do you really have to go to this extent?"

Ethan Lu seemed to have heard a joke: "What did I do?"

Xu Ze: "You...we had a fight, it's normal for you to be unhappy to see me, but is it necessary to terminate the contract?"

Ethan Lu smiled: "Mr. Xu, you are wrong. I didn't quarrel with you, I broke up with you. Also, I didn't terminate the contract. Our contract expired naturally."

Xu Ze took a deep breath: "Xiao Yan, listen to me, I... really like you, but I am a normal man, you refused to let me for two months... I can't help it, I'm sorry, can you give me another chance?"

Ethan Lu refused outright: "No."

Xu Ze didn't expect the other party to answer so straightforwardly, and he became a little angry and embarrassed: "Ethan Lu, I like you so much, can't you be more attentive to me?"

Ethan Lu laughed: "Xu Ze, you pursued me for ten months. During those ten months, whether your sincerity was true or false, I accepted it all, and I was sincere to you."

He sneered, "But what about you, you B@st@ard? You cheated on me after being with me for less than two months. I'm lucky I didn't beat you to death, you know?"

Xu Ze thought, damn, how come Ethan Lu finds scolding people so exciting.

Xu Ze: "No room left?"

Ethan Lu: "No."

Xu Ze gritted his teeth and said, "I won't give up, Ethan Lu. I was able to spend ten months chasing you back then, so I can spend another ten or twenty years chasing you in the future. You will be mine sooner or later, so be prepared!"

Ethan Lu's tone remained unchanged: "Mr. Xu, what do you like about me? Should I change my career? Please don't pester me for ten years. You don't find it tiring, but I find it annoying."
