Chapter 610: Chapter 610
He turned his head to look at Jing Ruo, pulling up the hood of his sweatshirt as he did so.
Zhu Lei, sitting in the driver’s seat, turned his eyes smilingly toward Jing Ruo, quite attentively, "Miss Bao, please get in the car."
Then he disdainfully glanced at his own celebrity, completely disregarding that he was after all a Movie Emperor, and immediately complained, "Aren’t you going to help her? Are you just going to sit there like an idiot?"
Gao Han curled his mouth slightly and with a long stride, got out of the car.
Jing Ruo waved her hands repeatedly, "No need, no need, I’m not that crippled, I’ve been getting quite used to the crutches these past few days... Ah!"
Her voice trailed off into a low exclamation, for her body was already lifted in the air.
The Movie Emperor’s service was clearly not as simple as the agent had mentioned about just lending a hand; he was thoroughly attentive and promptly scooped her up in a princess carry and placed her in the car.
Every time this happened, Jing Ruo would start feeling hopeless about how delicious the food her sister made was, which is why she ate so much, wondering if she had gained a couple of pounds.
Yes, it happened "every time."
In fact, when she hurt her leg while filming, it was Gao Han who had carried her down from the mountain.
Even though she wasn’t the kind of woman with a particularly athletic physique, she was, after all, a full-grown adult, tall and definitely weighed over a hundred pounds.
When Gao Han carried her on his back, the distance was so close.
His low breathing sounds, Jing Ruo heard them clearly, and she could even see the sweat sliding down the side of his neck and soaking into his shirt.
So, she felt... somewhat embarrassed now.
Gao Han set her down on the seat, his movements gentle.
Jing Ruo was somewhat embarrassed, and could only quietly greet Zhu Lei, "Hello, Brother Zhu."
"Hello, hello, are we heading back now?" Zhu Lei said.
Zhu Lei certainly didn’t mind flattering this wealthy young lady; while waiting for them parked here, Zhu Lei had mentioned that she truly was wealthy and in great circumstances.
Not everyone with money could get into this neighborhood, but her family had like three properties here, some of which were even vacant.
Plus, the wealthy lady was also a fan of Gao Hanhan, as long as Gao Han could build a good relationship with her, not to mention this movie, securing investment for the next movie would just be a matter of minutes.
"Yes, thank you," Jing Ruo said. She was very polite, having heard of Zhu Lei’s reputation, and besides, she was a fan of Gao Han, a staunch supporter who actually knew quite a bit about her idol’s agent.
At any rate, even setting other matters aside, bringing up Gao Han was a testament to quite solid credentials.
And Zhu Lei felt content in his heart, such a backgrounded and wealthy young lady, yet so pleasant and easy to get along with, it really was comforting.
The car drove all the way back to Jing Ruo’s residence.
The neighborhood she lived in was in the new district on the other side of the city, quite a nice area, with many celebrities choosing to live there because it was close to the movie city and television stations.
It was after filming the show, returning to Beijing to treat her leg, and getting discharged to go home that she suddenly had visitors, and only then did she find out that the Movie Emperor also lived in this neighborhood.
To be more precise, he owned property in this neighborhood.
Before this, Jing Ruo had never even dreamed that one day, she might live an idol fan’s dream of freeloading meals and drinks from her idol.
Gao Han felt somewhat responsible for her injury, so this visit was also to tell her that if there was anything inconvenient in her life, she could ask him for help, and not to worry about troubling him, because he too owned a property in this neighborhood, even in the same building block as hers, just on different floors, and he would temporarily stay in this property.
Jing Ruo insisted on returning to her own home and refused to stay at her sister’s place.
One reason was that she didn’t want to disturb her sister and brother-in-law’s time together.
Another reason was that, though her sister’s cooking was delicious... it was still her sister’s, and she could eat it anytime in the future.
But even if an idol’s cooking wasn’t tasty, he was a dreamy idol after all—once this opportunity passed, there might not be another chance to taste it.
With this consideration, the choice became quite clear.
"Have you eaten?" Gao Han asked.
Jing Ruo nodded, "I have eaten, oh right!" She took the small bag slung over her shoulder and handed it to him.
That wasn’t just any bag; it was an insulated bag hung by an extended strap.
And Gao Han recognized the style of this insulated bag from when he had seen it during the filming of the show.
Delicious food would definitely be pulled out from within it.
"My sister made some food, and I brought some for you to try..." Jing Ruo thought for a moment, then added, "For you and Brother Zhu to try."
Zhu Lei complained melodramatically from the front seat, "Am I just an afterthought? Never mind, I won’t try it."
Jing Ruo felt particularly embarrassed, but Zhu Lei was just teasing her, so he laughed and said, "I’m dieting, really won’t eat, thanks for your kind offer though, I’ll wait for this Han Han to eat, then make him exercise an extra hour."
Gao Han chuckled softly, "Then I won’t be polite." He smiled, "I’ll eat it at home."
When he said this, Jing Ruo felt her face warm up inexplicably. Hearing him say "eat it at home" somehow made it feel as if they lived together.
Zhu Lei spoke up from the front seat, "Then who will drink the soup you made for Xiao Ruo, I’ll take it to Su Kang. Being your assistant isn’t easy..."
"I’ll drink it!" Jing Ruo suddenly interrupted Zhu Lei.
Zhu Lei was startled.
Jing Ruo smiled apologetically, "Brother Zhu, I want to drink the soup Mr. Gao made. For Su, I’ll buy some delicious food and take it to him."
Gao Han remained silent, seated in the back with his head slightly lowered, his fingers gently picking at the surface of the insulated bag. His face, partially obscured by the hood of his sweatshirt, was hard to read.
Thus, Jing Ruo didn’t see the corners of his mouth lightly curl upwards.
Jing Ruo also thought about the matter of the show’s broadcast and what Xue Lan had said.
Previously, she would have felt that she had no right or opportunity to comment, but now, feeling closer to Gao Han due to his recent care, she felt she could speak up.
Jing Ruo bit her lip and softly brought up the matter of the show’s editing.
Then she shared her opinion, "I think this part shouldn’t be included in the edit; it would be better for Mr. Gao."
Zhu Lei glanced at Gao Han through the rearview mirror and let out a small sound of agreement silently thinking that his guess was right—this young lady was indeed considerate towards Gao Han.
He had previously discussed with Gao Han that leaving this part out of the edit wouldn’t be a problem and Gao Han wouldn’t be criticized for it. And this young lady wouldn’t mind either.
But as for Han Han...
"No," Gao Han said. He then turned to look at Jing Ruo.
Their gazes met, and Jing Ruo froze as his sincere, earnest eyes seemed to pierce right through her.
