Chapter 16
Xia Yishan took a sip of the tea. It was her favorite, premium yunwu tea from Mount Lu.
She did not expect Su Jingting to have that. It had been a long time since she last tasted it.
“I’d like to be signed under a company sooner or later. It’s just that I’ve never thought I’d be signed under Asia Entertainment. To be honest, I feel a lot of pressure. Those who are under Asia Entertainment are beautiful and capable. All of them eventually become celebrities. It’s quite a gamble to take me on board!”
Su Jingting was secretly over the moon hearing what she said. “Just be yourself. That’s enough. Right now, no one is trying to force you into the entertainment industry in order to be the “best actor’s” match. As it stands, if you’re interested in venturing into showbiz, Asia Entertainment is genuinely the best choice.”
She was speechless.
‘That makes a lot of sense.’
“Moreover, even if you’re completely useless, you’re my girlfriend. Of course, I’m not saying that you’re useless. I love everything about you…”
Xia Yishan instantly started blushing.
She thought she had developed a thick skin after having lived two lives. She never thought Su Jingting would manage to win her over. His flirting skills were perfect. He did not look cold like he usually did on the screen.
If his fans knew that their idol flirted like this in private…
Their screams would probably tear the earth apart!
“Best Actor, we’ve only met a few times. Is there something I don’t understand about our relationship…?”
She felt as if Su Jingting had known her for years.
“Efficiency is what I care about when looking for a girlfriend. I won’t hesitate to go for it when I meet someone suitable.”
“Did you practice this skill for getting a girlfriend?”
“In 27 years, I’ve never utilized such a skill. I might have been born with it.”
“But I’m completely useless!”
“You have great potential!” Su Jingting poured tea for her again.
“How do you know? Even I’m not sure of that…”
“Intuition.”
Xia Yishan was dumbstruck. She gave him a thumbs up.
“Tell me, what are your thoughts on going into the entertainment industry?” Su Jingting crossed his legs, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Xia Yishan.
His visage had changed instantly. He was like a master testing her.
“Hmm… I used to think of it as something I’d do just to get by. However, I see it differently now…” Xia Yishan looked away as she spoke. She courageously locked eyes with Su Jingting. “I want to get to your level.”
Hearing her words, Su Jingting revealed a smile that he had never shown before. Everything he wanted to say was consolidated into one word, “Great.”
“But I have a condition.”
“Do tell.” Su Jingting was overjoyed to hear that. He would accept any requests that she had.
“It’ll be a secret relationship. We won’t be helping each other in our careers.”
“I respect everything about my girlfriend as long as her safety is guaranteed.”
Xia Yishan picked up her tea and clinked it against the cup in Su Jingting’s hand. “Deal.”
He patted her head and gently asked, “What do you want for dinner?”
“A home-cooked meal.”
Su Jingting frowned. The most expensive and stylish restaurant in Beijing flashed through his mind. He did not expect her to want something homemade. Bashfully, he tried to dissuade her. “The helper at the villa isn’t working today…”
“Don’t worry about it. I can cook. Where’s the kitchen?”
Su Jingting took her to the huge refrigerator. She opened the door and realized there was nothing inside it…
Xia Yishan turned her head to look at him. Embarrassed, he merely smiled and said, “I hardly come here…”
