Even Qin Miaomiao was shocked when she heard about this! Her intuition was right—he almost snapped Lu Lu’s neck!
"He is me, I am him. He will protect me, and he’ll protect my sister, too."
Qin Miaomiao felt uneasy hearing this: "Protect me?"
Ou Beichen offered her a dazzling smile: "Yes, he likes you a lot, too."
Qin Miaomiao awkwardly chuckled: "Um, please thank him for me."
It felt as though a knot in Ou Beichen’s heart had been untied; his autism seemed better now, at least he was willing to talk to her, whereas he mostly ignored everyone else.
As for Lu Qing, he was the one Ou Beichen wanted to challenge!
When Jiaojiao came to visit her, she dragged Lin Xiaoxiao along, laughing so hard she was nearly rolling on the ground.
"Hahaha, ’period’? Young Master Lu from your family is just too funny. Do men even have common sense nowadays?"
Qin Miaomiao glared at her: "You’re crossing the line! I already told you before not to come, but you insisted, and now you’re here making fun of me."
Jiaojiao was wiping her tears while speaking: "Do you really think I’d miss out on such a golden opportunity to openly make fun of you?"
Lin Xiaoxiao seemed more composed, smiling and saying: "Young Master Lu only made this blunder because he cares about Miao Miao, but his sister, now that’s someone you need to be cautious of."
"Xiaoxiao hit the nail on the head. This whole mess—it was really her fault. When I first heard about it, I was scared to death. If you were really pregnant, you might have ended up miscarrying. I mean, how could your husband have such a sister?" Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel✶fire.net
Qin Miaomiao didn’t want to discuss family matters further, so she steered the topic away to smooth things over.
"Alright, you two big celebrities, taking time out of your busy schedules to visit me—I’m truly moved! I’ll treat you to a meal next time."
"I want a seafood feast!"
"Alright. Xiaoxiao, has your agent mentioned anything about planning for you to take on a leading role in a historical drama next?"
Lin Xiaoxiao looked slightly surprised: "No, my agent hasn’t said anything. He’s only arranged for me to do a commercial event and shoot some ads."
Qin Miaomiao frowned slightly: "Maybe he forgot about it. The script for this drama is already out. I’ve read it—it’s fantastic and much different from typical romantic clichés. It’s about a woman disguised as a man who becomes a top scholar, enters the Imperial Academy, navigates various political factions, and ultimately becomes a prime minister."
"Ahhh, that sounds so exhilarating! I love it!"
Lin Xiaoxiao hesitated a little: "I’ve always filmed movies; I’ve never done TV dramas before."
"A lot of top-tier stars are returning to television nowadays. At the moment, there aren’t strong movie scripts available. Besides, you’ve already cleared four months of your schedule after those commercials and fashion week gigs. Taking on this political intrigue drama will be good for you."
"Alright, I’ll study the script."
Qin Miaomiao nodded. She worried that Lin Xiaoxiao’s proud personality might make her see this as a downgrade.
"Miao Miao, what about me? What about me?"
Qin Miaomiao shot her a look: "Why so impatient? ’Reincarnation’ is premiering next month. If that film makes you a breakout star, you’ll have no shortage of work lined up after that."
Jiaojiao sat on the hospital bed, wrapped her arms around Qin Miaomiao’s neck, pressing her cheek against hers: "I just knew you, my darling, love me the most."
Lin Xiaoxiao watched them with envy. To have such an unfalteringly close friend in a lifetime—that must be an incredible blessing.
At this moment, Lu Qing walked in. Dressed in a black suit, his striking features carried a sharp intensity. His eyes narrowed slightly as he strode toward the bedside, grabbed Qin Miaomiao by the collar, and in Lin Xiaoxiao’s stunned gaze, tossed her off the bed entirely.
