In the past, she had heard others say that even if a man says he doesn’t mind, a woman shouldn’t be foolish enough to reveal everything without reservation.
Ji Niandong thought for a moment and said nonchalantly, "It’s been so long ago, I don’t really remember!"
If she doesn’t want to say it, so be it!
"Let the past be the past!" Lu Beichen took a document from the car and handed it to her, "This is my final wedding gift for you today. Sign it, and from now on, it’s a new beginning for you!"
The artist contract with YT Entertainment!
Ji Niandong’s hand trembled slightly as she held it. Does she deserve this?
"Only the leads for ’Choked Love’ have been announced so far. The other roles haven’t been decided. I’ll have Li Yi put in a word, and tomorrow they’ll send you the time and location. Go for an audition," Lu Beichen emphasized, "Don’t worry, no one will know about our relationship!"
Ji Niandong felt a vague unease. She had been inactive for so many years, and suddenly going to an audition felt overwhelmingly unfamiliar.
"No problem, right?" Seeing her a bit nervous, Lu Beichen probed.
"No, no problem." She shook her head, responding lacking confidence, "I’ve read this novel many times. I’ll read it again when I get back to try and get the feel of it!"
Lu Beichen patted her shoulder, encouraging, "Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Take it slowly!"
Ji Niandong nodded, clutching the contract, and then asked, "You’ve given me so many wedding gifts today, but what should I do since I haven’t prepared anything for you?"
Indeed, she felt very guilty!
Lu Beichen reached out and ruffled her hair. The soft strands were so pleasant to the touch that he was reluctant to withdraw his hand, "By giving yourself to me, that’s the best gift!"
Ji Niandong was stunned, looking up at him, and saw the indulgence in his eyes, which made her cheeks flush. Even sweet talk, the sweetest poison in the world, was irresistible at this moment, making her heart race uncontrollably.
Ji Niandong turned around to head into the building, hesitated, then turned back and mustered the courage to give Lu Beichen a quick kiss on the cheek before darting away.
"Don’t follow me!" She didn’t dare to look back, "I have to go up and prepare for tomorrow’s audition. You should go back and rest early too!"
She quickly said this and went into the building, turning to lean against the elevator lobby, breathing heavily, her heart almost jumping out of her throat.
Patting her chest, she tilted her head to look outside, where the man stood smilingly in place, watching her. Ji Niandong pressed the elevator button and hurried inside.
The petite woman’s charm was on full display. How could Shen Congjun bear to hurt such a darling?
Lu Beichen chuckled, touched the cheek she kissed, looked up as the light in the upstairs window lit up, smiled contentedly, and softly said, "Good night!"
The cool evening breeze was refreshing; he stood gazing at the silhouette against the window for a long time before finally getting into the car.
Willing to hold his arm and rely on him, willing to reciprocate his kiss on the cheek, it seemed she was indeed gradually trying to open her heart to him.
The future is long; he’s no longer in a rush. Slowly, one day, he’ll make her realize he truly isn’t someone she needs to fear!
Let all the past things pass!
Lu Beichen took out the marriage certificate, looking at the photo of the tense-looking young woman pursing her lips, smiling deeply.
From now on, he’ll teach her, hand in hand, what it means to have complete happiness!
