Lin Yan suddenly comprehended what she had said and immediately felt like burrowing a hole to hide. She waved her hands wildly, “Sorry! Sorry! It was a slip of my tongue!”
She was just reckless with her words! She had been seduced by his beauty and had blurted out what was on her mind!
Pei Yucheng chuckled lightly. It seemed as though a weak ray of winter sunlight had penetrated the wintry darkness.
The man quipped, “I’m afraid not.”
Lin Yan felt even more embarrassed after she heard Pei Yucheng’s answer.
Ever since she had moved in with Pei Yucheng, he had always treated her with respect and politeness. He had never invaded her privacy and had been mindful about keeping a safe distance from her.
She had only thought that Pei Yucheng was a gentleman. In hindsight… Had Pei Yucheng been guarding himself against her?
The heavens could be her witness. She had never once harbored ulterior motives of any kind.
Hastily and awkwardly, Lin Yan tried to reply, “Mr. Pei, this is a misunderstanding. It was really a slip of my tongue. Actually… Actually, I do have decent self-control…”
That was why she hadn’t done anything reckless or foolish… yet.
Pei Yucheng surveyed Lin Yan with a faint glimmer in his eyes. “Yeah, I know.”
Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief.
She was about to speak when Pei Yucheng interjected. “But I don’t have any confidence in my own self-control.”
Lin Yan was speechless…
She choked on her own saliva and coughed violently.
Pei Yucheng had kept his distance from her because he was worried that he would lose control?
In the end, Pei Yucheng decided on the time. “Is two hours okay?”
Lin Yan, who had just calmed down, hesitated when she heard him. “Why… would you suddenly want to chat with me?”
“Miss Lin, you can look for me any time you want. However, unless I take the initiative, I reckon you won’t look for me,” replied Pei Yucheng solemnly.
“Errr…” Instinctively, Lin Yan touched her nose.
Why did he make her sound like a jerk?
It seemed true, though. She had been obsessed with earning money all this time and had been even busier than Pei Yucheng. Her interactions with him had decreased ever since she had moved in.
She had asked Pei Yucheng on a date because of that wretched fellow and she had forgotten about Pei Yucheng’s birthday until that fellow had reminded her. She hadn’t prepared his present or dinner…
It seemed as though she was really a jerk…
“How is work?” Pei Yucheng asked off-handedly.
Something flashed past Lin Yan’s mind suddenly.
Had Pei Yucheng suddenly looked for her because he had found out about the criticism she had received recently?
He had promised that he wouldn’t interfere in her affairs. On the other hand, he was worried… Was that why he had tried to create an opportunity to be with her?
Lin Yan felt even guiltier at the thought of this possibility.
She was indeed a heartless jerk!
“There is a small problem, but it’s nothing important,” replied Lin Yan.
Although it would affect her, at least she had secured the role in Legend.
After all, Yeva had cast her personally.
If the production crew were to contact Yeva again, she would just insist on not changing the actress.
Actually, she was aware of all the underhanded methods and connections in the entertainment industry. She just couldn’t be bothered to use them.
If she wanted to make a triumphant return, she would use her own abilities.
