Lu Gan could sense Song Ci’s movements. He asked vaguely, “Are you going to work? It’s still so early.”
Song Ci replied, “I have to get up early because I still have to do my makeup.”
Lu Gan hugged her like a spoiled dog.
Song Ci patted his head.
“Be good.”
Lu Gan looked at Song Ci with gentleness in his eyes. The latter smiled and moved Lu Gan’s hand away.
“Go back to sleep. Zhang Huan will drive me to the set.”
“I’ll accompany you.”
Lu Gan rubbed his eyes and got up.
Song Ci asked, “What about the children?”
“Zhang Huan can take care of them.”
Song Ci chuckled.
“I hope you’re paying Zhang Huan a decent wage. He’s basically your driver, assistant, bodyguard, and nanny!”
Lu Gan said proudly, “It’s an honor to work for me. I’m sure he cherishes this opportunity.”
“…”
As usual, Lu Gan was being a narcissist.
Lu Gan sent Song Ci to work. He watched as she finished her makeup.
“Sigh… you really look like a young and energetic college student.”
Song Ci muttered, “I graduated from college not too long ago.”
Lu Gan nodded.
“You’re still young.”
“You too.”
Lu Gan chuckled.
As they spoke, Chu Yi came over.
Song Ci liked the steamed buns Chu Yi gave her previously. By chance, he went to the same shop today and bought some for her again.
Upon receiving the steamed buns, Song Ci thanked Chu Yi.
“You’re welcome. I just happened to pass by that shop.”
After saying that, Chu Yi was ready to leave.
Song Ci quickly stopped him. She looked at Lu Gan and gave him a wink.
“This is my brother, Lu Gan.”
Song Ci continued,”This is Chu Yi.”
Chu Yi had seen Lu Gan before. However, he had no reason to approach him. He said frankly, “Hello.”
Lu Gan leaned against his wheelchair and looked at Chu Yi from head to toe. Indeed, he was quite good-looking and well-mannered. Despite that, Lu Gan secretly let out a sigh of relief. Chu Yi still could not compete with him.
Anyway, Lu Gan did not mind Song Ci introducing him as her older brother. As an actress, she had to be careful with her image.
“Hello.”
Lu Gan greeted back calmly.
Chu Yi did not like that Lu Gan was sizing him up. The latter clearly had a high position in society. He felt belittled.
‘Song Ci is definitely more complicated than what I’ve expected…’
Nonetheless, Chu Yi was not really bothered. Other people’s private lives were none of his business. Hence, he politely said goodbye and left.
Lu Gan asked, “He left already? Did he just come to give you some steamed buns?”
Song Ci nodded.
“He’s really busy.”
Song Ci had been kind to Chu Yi, so he was simply returning a favor.
There was nothing between the two of them other than an honest friendship. They would help each other whenever possible.
Song Ci liked Chu Yi’s personality and attitude. She felt comfortable around him.
It was hard to find people without ulterior motives. Moreover, pure friendships between men and women were extremely rare.
“I’ll tell him about the contract right before he leaves this production team. That way, his judgment won’t be affected just because I’m around.”
