Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hearing Jiang Ling’er’s words, Li Yu nodded and said, “Isn’t it obvious enough?
I confessed to you a while ago, don’t you remember? You’re the one who doesn’t take me seriously.”
Jiang Ling’er had a feeling that she had dug herself into a hole and didn’t know what to say.
Li Yu was clearly ready to kill the conversation. Jiang Ling’er asked, “So, what are you here for?”
Li Yu hesitated for a moment and said, “What else could 1 be here for? You rejected me so straightforwardly, but you readily agreed to someone else. The way you treat me differently, do you think 1 can be comfortable with that? I’m here to pout and express my dissatisfaction.”
Jiang Ling’er was somewhat speechless. She asked, “So, have you pouted enough now?”
Li Yu shook his head and said, “I’m still not comfortable. Why did you reject me?”
Jiang Ling’er had a feeling that he was intentionally dragging this out. She asked, “What do you want me to do to make you feel better?”
Li Yu’s mood brightened. He wasn’t about to offer cliched lines or pretend to be understanding. He was going to be selfish.
Li Yu said, “Then how about agreeing to be the female lead in my project?”
Jiang Ling’er was stunned. This guy was really direct. He said it without any preparation?
Jiang Ling’er was taken aback. This guy was so direct, without any preamble. She thought for a moment and nodded, saying, “Alright, 1’11 give it a try. Just send me the script one of these days.”
Li Yu was surprised.
He had expected Jiang Ling’er to refuse, but she had agreed this time. Happiness had come unexpectedly.
Seeing that Li Yu was silent, Jiang Ling’er said, “Well? What’s with the silence? Are you regretting it now?”
Li Yu grinned and said, “That’s more like it. Let’s go pick up the script together, and while we’re at it, let’s have a meal. Here’s to a happy collaboration.”
Jiang Ling’er was a bit surprised but didn’t refuse.
What meal? She had intended for Li Yu to send the script over to her when he was free; not right away!
Li Yu took advantage of Jiang Ling’er’s daze and held her hand. He said happily, “Let’s go.”
Her ears turned slightly red, and Jiang Ling’er attempted to pull her hand away. She thought Li Yu was being a bit too forward. However, his grip was firm, and she couldn’t free herself.
Li Yu’s lips curled into a smile. He had successfully taken her hand, and he had no intention of letting go. Jiang Ling’er tried to shake his hand off but couldn’t.
Jiang Ling’er took a deep breath. This was a school and there were many people. She couldn’t make a scene in front of so many people, so she decided to bear with it for now.
Jiang Ling’er sighed and said, “My driver is waiting for me at the gate. How about we do this another day?”
Li Yu wouldn’t hear of it and said, “I’ll ask him to leave. We’ll pick up the script, have a meal, and then I’ll personally drop you off.”
Jiang Ling’er was helpless.
It’s often said that women can be troublesome, but when a man is persistent, things can become even more complicated.
Seeing Jiang Ling’er’s helpless expression, Li Yu couldn’t help but feel a sense of accomplishment.
It was clear that Jiang Ling’er, despite her initial resistance, was concerned about his feelings, which made Li Yu quite pleased.
After witnessing the interaction between Jiang Ling’er and Li Yu and overhearing their conversation, Bai Xue was overwhelmed with jealousy.
The more she thought about it, the more dissatisfied she became. She couldn’t pinpoint what made her so upset.
Jiang Ling’er, who should have been at her mercy, was now thriving, while Bai Xue had been facing a series of setbacks recently.
This topsy-turvy turn of events left Bai Xue feeling quite frustrated.
Driven by her emotions, Bai Xue headed straight to the company, ignoring the secretary’s words, and walked into the office of the Vice President, Wang Wei.
Wang Wei, seeing Bai Xue’s demeanor, knew that she was upset. He gestured for his secretary to leave the room.
Wang Wei asked, “Miss Bai, what’s the matter? Who has offended you?”
Wang Wei’s tone was calm, devoid of any emotions.
Bai Xue directly stated, “Vice President, I want to discuss something. Do you know about the audition for the Chen Group’s spokesperson?”
“Of course I do.” Wang Wei nodded. “What do you think?”
Bai Xue took a deep breath and said, “Since you know about it, why did anyone tell me? Also, who is the company planning to send?”
Thinking about how Jiang Ling’er had received an invitation from the Chen Group’s young master while she remained in the dark, Bai Xue was quite angry.
Wang Wei, noticing the malice in Bai Xue’s eyes, furrowed his brows. He understood that this woman wasn’t as innocent and pleasant as she seemed. However, Li Yan was deeply devoted to Bai Xue.
After a moment of contemplation, Wang Wei smiled and said, “Our company has many talented artists. If you want to know who’s going, 1 suggest you ask Tang Xiaohong. She’s the one responsible for the arrangements..”
