After the car started, the three of them did not speak. Only the feminine voice of the GPS sounded mechanically.
The atmosphere was silent and a little strange.
Jing Yao glanced at Zhu Ling carefully. There was no expression on her face, but her eyes were obviously empty.
This could only mean that Zhu Ling was also uneasy. Zhu Ling was always like this. The more uneasy she was, the more expressionless she looked. Only her eyes were empty.
“Is this place far from where we eat?” Jing Yao moved closer to Zhu Ling and took her arm.
Zhu Ling came back to her senses and looked at Jing Yao.
Jing Yao grinned at her.
Zhu Ling instantly burst out laughing.
Some habits and personalities would probably never change. For example, the current Jing Yao was especially sensitive to other people’s emotions. She would instinctively talk to them even though it was not her problem.
Zhu Ling sighed in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. She smiled and said, “Didn’t the navigation just say how far it was?”
Jing Yao looked sincere and enlightened. “All, really? I didn’t hear it just now.”
Zhu Ling couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “It’s not far. Are you hungry?”
Jing Yao actually didn’t feel hungry, but she still said, “I’m a little hungry.”
How could Zhu Ling not know Jing Yao? She could tell if Jing Yao was telling the truth the moment she opened her mouth.
However, she still asked Shen Yu, “Is there anything to eat in the car?”
Shen Yu had been playing the role of the chauffeur conscientiously. Actually, the jealous lover in his heart was about to get angry, but he did not dare to show it.
Hearing Zhu Ling’s question, he replied, “There are snacks.”
When Zhu Ling heard him say that, she started to search for it herself.
Who would have thought that Best Actor Shen, who used to be cold to his fans, actually loved to eat snacks in private?
In the past, no one cared about him. Once he rested, he liked to eat snacks and watch movies.
Now that he was with Zhu Ling, she would control the amount of snacks he ate.
He would try his best to hide the snacks in the car from Zhu Ling.
As expected, Zhu Ling knew Shen Yu very well. She found snacks from the car in minutes.
Jing Yao was actually just looking for a topic to talk to Zhu Ling. When Zhu Ling came out with snacks, she felt that she was really hungry.
There were quite a lot of snacks. They all looked like the same brand.
Jing Yao had eaten it before and it tasted quite good.
“This brand looks very familiar.” Jing Yao ate the potato chips in her hand and didn’t forget to talk to Zhu Ling.
Zhu Ling glanced at Shen Yu in front of her. Shen Yu happened to turn back to look at her while driving. Their gazes met in the air.
Shen Yu instinctively wanted to smile at her.
Zhu Ling was expressionless and spoke first. “Drive well.”
“…” Shen Yu.
Jing Yao watched the show while eating snacks. Seeing that Shen Yu was being controlled by Zhu Ling, she couldn’t help but shake her head and sigh. “Lingling, no wonder your brother said that you’re cute only when you’re drunk.”
Zhu Ling was speechless and looked at Jing Yao expressionlessly.
Jing Yao lowered her head instantly and stared at the potato chips wrapper in her hand.
After about three seconds, Jing Yao said in realization, “1 remember now. Shen Yu, did you endorse this snack brand a few years ago?”
Shen Yu responded and tried his best to reduce his presence.
Actually, he was still thinking about Jing Yao’s previous words. The first time he fell for Zhu Ling seemed to be when she was drunk in front of him.
However, Shen Yu did not think so of Zhu Sui’s point of view.
In his opinion, Zhu Ling was very cute most of the time. She was cute when she shouted at him angrily.
Zhu Ling glanced at Shen Yu in front of her, then at Jing Yao. “He’s been endorsing this brand for several years, ever since he debuted.”
Jing Yao was slightly shocked. “It seems that the brand really likes Shen Yu.”
Zhu Ling said helplessly, “How can they not like him? They can get a Best Actor as their spokesperson at such a low price.”
Jing Yao roughly understood what was going on. “Has the endorsement fee never increased?”
Zhu Ling shook her head. “It hasn’t increased. When we renewed it this year, the brand even mentioned it, but he rejected it. He said that there’s no need to increase it. They just have to provide for all the snacks during his endorsement period.”
Jing Yao was speechless.
Although Jing Yao did not have much business acumen, she could tell how disadvantaged Shen Yu was just by thinking about it. Moreover, with his current net worth, his manager probably would not let him take on the endorsement of this snack brand.
They had to think twice before accepting endorsements. Some endorsements were not good for their image.
“You’re such a spendthrift. No wonder your parents didn’t dare to hand over the company to you.” Jing Yao sighed..
