Hearing her say this, Lu Beichen’s nervousness eased a little, "It’s the best if you think that way. The entertainment industry is a complicated place with a lot to deal with. If you need my help, you must tell me. I don’t want Mrs. Lu to suffer any grievances!"
"Got it!" Ji Niandong glanced around, "Little Uncle, I don’t want to stay here anymore, can you come and pick me up?"
Ada had already left to find Mr. Ning, and all the necessary greetings and courtesies had been done!
It was just a banquet waiting to be over; she only wanted to leave early!
"Of course! Mrs. Lu can go wherever you want!" Lu Beichen’s voice was full of doting, an attitude of being willing to do anything as long as she wished!
"But..." he paused for a moment, "since my Mrs. Lu wants to achieve her dreams through her own efforts, how can she leave now?"
Ji Niandong was momentarily stunned, finally coming to her senses!
She was indeed rashly confused!
It was just encountering a bit of unpleasantness and wanting to escape! It seemed even in her heart, he had become her reliance and safe harbor.
She was just a newcomer actress, and although all necessary courtesies were exchanged, with the wrap party and the director and producer present, how could she leave early?
If she was just an insignificant character, maybe it wouldn’t matter, but Ada clearly wanted to seize this opportunity to promote her and had just pulled her on stage for a journalist interview.
How could she leave tactlessly at this moment?
Ji Niandong took a deep breath, her expression much calmer, "Little Uncle, I understand, I’ll head back to the hotel first, see you at home later!"
"Hmm..." his voice carried a pleased happiness, "See you in bed!"
"Little Uncle!" she pouted coquettishly, then quickly hung up the phone.
Now really isn’t the time to retreat. The online buzz is already intense, and with so many staff inside, leaving now would not only seem rude but might also attract unwanted attention.
Reaching out, just as she lightly touched the car door, it was suddenly pulled open. Someone leapt in and slammed the door shut, and before she could react, wrapped an arm around her, pressing her firmly against the car seat.
Ji Niandong instinctively crossed her arms to protect herself, retreating a step, leaning against the other side of the car window.
"I’m quite satisfied with this reaction!" A man’s teasing voice sounded close to her ear, a familiar voice.
Ji Niandong raised a hand and slapped him across the face, her entire body falling backward onto the car seat from the inertia.
She looked up at him, her face full of anger, her originally flushed face now pale!
She got up to open the car door and rush out, but a long leg firmly blocked her way.
He sat casually in the seat, legs spread because of the blocking, looking relaxed.
Ji Niandong still sat on the floor of the car, their position now looking especially awkward and ambiguous.
She glared with those bright phoenix eyes, heavy anger between her brows, demanding, "What exactly do you want to do?!"
The man tilted his mouth into a wicked smile, one hand deliberately resting on his chin, looking down at her from above, lips slightly parted, "Just slapped me and now crouching below looking so pathetic, what? Want to grovel at me?!"
