Lu Beichen’s feet remained outside the room door, without taking a step further. After speaking, he turned and went to the guest room.
The warm embrace suddenly dispersed, leaving her with a soothing, cozy atmosphere.
Ji Niandong felt warm inside, slowly closed the room door, thought for a bit, and this time didn’t lock it defensively, then turned to the big bed, stretched lazily—what a nice night!
Again, she slept until broad daylight, and the first thing upon waking was to grab her phone and check messages. There was still no reply, and she didn’t know if the recordings met the standards.
After freshening up and going out, breakfast was already set on the table, beside which Lu Beichen left a note: "Eat well, relax!"
He knew she was still nervous! Ji Niandong sat down to eat breakfast, feeling a wave of joy in her heart.
Back when she was with Shen Congjun, although he was good to her, he was busy catching up with schedules, and basically, it was her who cared for his affairs, greeting him on time.
And now, this even busier man takes care of her devotedly every day, even into her inner thoughts. Day by day, she feels that marrying this man in such a muddled way might have been her gain.
So, she has to work even harder to become a better version of herself!
Before long, the phone suddenly rang, Ji Niandong hurriedly answered, but it was a voice she didn’t want to hear, "Tongtong, it’s Ah Jun, I’ve already signed a contract with Yi Tai!"
Ji Niandong felt all desolation at the bottom of her heart, "Congratulations to you!"
Her voice was icy cold, Shen Congjun, with a tone of flattery, said softly, "Thanks to you, I was able to get in. They also promised to give me a role in ’Choked Love’, Tongtong, when do you have time, let’s grab a meal?"
He really is feeling great in life!
"I don’t have time for now, and besides, I remember Li Yi once warned you not to harass me. Aren’t you afraid of him finding out?"
"I’m not harassing you!" Shen Congjun said, "Tongtong, don’t worry, when President Lu gets tired of you, I’ll take you back, I won’t dislike you!"
Ji Niandong, as if hearing a funny joke, "Sorry, Mr. Shen, but I dislike you now!"
Shen Congjun, thoughtlessly blurting out when he heard her say that, "You really slept with Lu Beichen and now you’ve become a social climber?!"
"Do you think everyone is like you?" Her voice grew colder, yet without irrational excitement, as though dealing with a stranger, "Sorry, Mr. Shen, I have other things to attend to, I’ll hang up now!"
Was she living too naively for the past five years, or did she never truly understand this man? She now wonders how she ever fell for someone like him!
Yes, one might run into a few scumbags in life; she should be thankful, she only encountered this one!
After tidying the tableware, she soon received notification from the secretary, asking her to come over.
She quickly took a taxi there, soon forgetting the unpleasant little episode over the phone.
Upon arrival, Sheng Mingyuan was inspecting other students’ performances in the classroom, and she could hear them playing their parts vividly from afar, wondering when she would reach that level herself.
The secretary guided her to a place that seemed like a small meeting room to sit and wait.
After almost an hour, Sheng Mingyuan walked in, opened the bottle of spring water in front of him and began drinking.
He looked angry, making Ji Niandong’s heart flutter with anxiety, fearing her recorded little show might not pass muster. She immediately stood up, waiting for him to speak.
