Chapter 133
———————❖———————
In the next few days,
every time she saw Lu Jingyan, there would be a magical voice whirling inside
her head, constantly reminding her—
The man in front of her
is not the heir of the Lu family, nor the president of Oushi Entertainment, but
her boyfriend.
These three words were
very unreal, very distant, and seem to be wrapped in a trace of sweetness.
But Lu Jingyan was
very busy and Chi Ying felt that he was working nonstop and that he was making himself
like a spinning top.
After the filming was
over, Chi Ying would occasionally come to the Oushi headquarters and sit
quietly in the cubicle of Lu Jingyan's office during the rest days.
Unfortunately, Lu Jingyan's time in the
office was minimal.
Only then did Chi Ying
realize that one person can have so many endless meetings, from early morning
to late night.
Whenever she gets bored,
she would just read books about acting. From time to time, she would find Jiang
Chong is like a porter, impolitely stacking documents one by one on Lu
Jingyan's table. Jiang Chong's age can no longer be regarded as a young guy.
When she looked at Jiang
Chong in the past, he was always in the same suit and leather shoes as Lu
Jingyan and his face was serious and meticulous.
But these days he was
always cheerful and smiled meaningfully.
Chi Ying successfully unlocked
assistant Jiang's new mantra, "It's all good."
From then on, Chi Ying
learned that Lu Jingyan worked overtime for many days in order to get a night
with her a few days ago. She can't help but sigh, people who stood at the top of
wealth and power bear the same weight.
Perhaps, a lot of
young girls will soon get tired of this way of dating. Although, if they were together
with Lu Jingyan, they might choose to continue the relationship, mostly because
of their love for money and prestige. Lu
Jingyan is not a man who has a lot of time to accompany girls to go shopping
and drive around.
But Chi Ying felt that
this was very good since it would not bring her a sense of restraint and she
was very comfortable with it.
….
The day after National
Day was Chi Cheng's fourth birthday. Looking through the calendar, there is
only one week left.
Chi Ying thought, she
would naturally tell Lu Jingyan about Chi Cheng's existence after they got
closer.
As for, Chi Cheng’s
birthday she wanted to give him the perfect celebration. However, Chi Ying couldn’t
predict Jingyan's thoughts after her confession. After all, this is more
presumptuous than her proposal to be with him. He may be surprised, guilty, or angry
...
The Lu family is a
wealthy family and must have stricter family training than Chi family. Lu
Jingyan and his elders may not accept a child who was conceived by accident. Just
like her grandfather not yet accepting Chi Cheng.
Lu Jingyan doesn’t
seem the type to like a girl who’s frivolous
and schemed to bed him. Moreover, Lu
Jingyan's affection for her may not be love. Maybe his feelings were because he
saw her well-being—as a trace of salvation to him who was sick.
After all, a desperate person
is willing to grasp anything to survive.
Chi Ying imagined all
possibilities, the only thing that is certain is Lu Jingyan will not hurt Chi
Cheng, nor will he hurt her. He is not a ruthless person, but he has kindness and tenderness.
The worst result would
be to break up with her and give her alimony and keep Chi Cheng hidden. Such
was her original life. Chi Ying thought that she still won’t lose anything.
Despite that though,
her fist clenched unknowingly.
….
Shortly after, the filming
crew ended work. A celebration party was held at a five-star hotel.
Prior to this, Director
Gu invited her to dinner twice, but she deliberately pretended to be busy as an
excuse.
On the first floor of the
hotel were scattered tables and on the upper floor is a private box.
Chi Ying changed her
makeup for the banquet. Her face was very beautiful. With light makeup, she
was already dazzling. Coupled with excellent body proportions, a thin waist, and long legs.
She attracted attention wherever she goes.
In the process of
going upstairs, Chi Ying suddenly saw a familiar figure. Shu Bai's petite body
was wrapped in standard waiter's overalls,. Her slender legs were under a
short skirt that covered the hips, but several bruises were faintly visible on them.
Chi Ying wondered, is
Shu Bai doing a part-time job here? The entertainment company should not allow
her to do so. Even if she is an 18-line star, maintaining her image is very
important. Could it be she canceled her contract and quit the circle?
Chi Ying blankly
stared for a second, Shu Bai seemed to see her too. She dodged her eyes in panic,
quickly holding the plate she went into another box.
......
Chi Ying paused in
her footsteps, her eyes stopped for a moment on the number of the box.
Coincidentally, it was the floor where the banquet was held.
She sorted out her
falling hair as usual and walked to the box arranged by the crew. The
venue was much larger than a hotel box. In addition to the huge banquet hall,
there was also a spacious open-air balcony. If you glance outside, you would
see a huge artificial lake.
The willows tree
were hanging on the bank and the evening breeze was gentle. There are not many
five-star hotels that are more leisure and elegant.
The crew praised
Chi Ying so she nodded politely and smiled.
Jiang Ningning sat
on the lower seat, her cheeks flushed with a hint of crimson. Chi Ying
sat beside her naturally. After putting away her bag, she looked around. It was
still early and at this moment only half of the seats were filled with guests.
......
Gu Yuanchen sat on
the upper seat, far away from her. In most cases, investors would attend the
closing of the banquet. But from start to the end of filming Gu Yuanchen was
the only one who took care of everything. Therefore, there were rumors about
his mysterious background.
Seeing Chi Ying
approaching, Gu Yuanchen gave her a deep look. His eyes looked very complicated
and sharp.
Chi Ying knows
that in a director's life, any nuance may become a point of inspiration for
them.
She had never
questioned Director Gu's insight which was far beyond ordinary people, but she
was still bothered by that gaze.
After Chi Ying and
Director Gu nodded to each other, they looked away and she chatted warmly with
Jiang Ningning.
