Yan Qingsi’s every smile, every word made him feel a joy that he had never felt before.
Yue Tingfeng nicked Yan Qingsi’s nose. “No use acting coy. Next time when it’s time for meals, you should also eat…”
“Then you better keep up,” she said.
“Of course…”
Ji Mianmian, following everything closely, felt as though she had just witnessed a murder. How could my goddess be such a tease? How tragic! I want to post this on Weibo and torment all the singles out there.
Ji Mianmian captured a photo of the two and posted it on her Weibo account, coupled with a caption.
[The goddess’s unparalleled charm has reached its climax! Now, where is the dog food? Hey spirits, Mr. Police, there’s someone here who’s torturing an innocent pup]
Ji Mianmian had considerable influence on Weibo among Yan Qingsi’s fanbase. She occasionally posted pictures of Yan Qingsi on set, so a lot of fans roughly knew that she was someone who worked with Yan Qingsi and kept a close watch on her account.
A continuous stream of comments from fans came soon after Ji Mianmian posted the picture.
[I thought that I’d have a peaceful day today, but I never thought that… I could not escape the fate of being tormented like this!]
[Please share some of the dog food! I’m already half-dead on the road. Can some kind soul pick my body up please?]
[Police, those two are my tormentors. Arrest them!]
Ji Mianmian lifted her eyes from the phone once she finished scrolling through the comments and saw that the two were already far ahead. She hurriedly caught up to them.
Lil Xu was responsible for carting Yan Qingsi’s belongings to the hotel as the filming wrapped up. Yan Qingsi told him to meet up with them after he had finished dropping everything off.
Ji Mianmian stole a glance at Boss Yue from the back.
‘Boss Yue is way too scary!’ She thought. He had resorted to such underhanded tactics toward her. In front of her goddess, on the other hand… he faithfully followed the 24 Filial Exemplars and was a good boyfriend. Such a two-faced man!
However, she had not answered him. Would she still be able to be promoted to be a permanent staff? Would she still get her bonuses?
Ji Mianmian wanted to ask him, but she did not dare to rouse his ire either.
Yue Tingfeng drove toward the most famous western restaurant in Hai City before the working crowd flooded the streets. It was not yet six in the afternoon, and it was rather early for dinner, but Yan Qingsi was extremely hungry. She had no appetite to eat during the shoot, what with the sweltering weather and the heavy costume she wore for the scene. She had been so hot that she became giddy, and had only consumed two bottles of water.
Yue Tingfeng knew that Yan Qingsi did not like western food, but this restaurant was pretty good. Besides, the best Chinese food to be found was the Su family’s private restaurant, but…
Yue Tingfeng did not want to take her there. He knew that there was tension between her and the Su family. Naturally, he did not want her to feel stressed.
Yue Tingfeng pulled a chair out. “The food here’s quite good. Grab a bite here first then we can go out for supper later at night.”
Yan Qingsi nodded in agreement. “Okay.”
Xiaoxu felt self-conscious. She waited for Lil Xu at another table and dined there so as to not disturb Yue Tingfeng and Yan Qingsi.
After eating for about one hour, Yan Qingsi steeled her nerves and ate the ice cream Yue Tingfeng fed her. “I don’t like this.”
Yan Qingsi did not like eating anything so sweet it made her sick. She always felt like an uncomfortable aftertaste lingered in her mouth for a long time after she ate it. Under normal circumstances, she would not have touched the thing.
Yue Tingfeng had thought that women had a sweet tooth, so he ordered dessert from the same restaurant. In the end… Yan Qingsi did not like it.
