When Ling Sheng received Jun Shiyanâs call, she was eating with Huo Xuanzhou at a famous local BBQ shop. The lamb chops had just been served on the table. While chewing, she answered the call. âIâm already eating. Yes, with Huo Xuanzhou.â
Jun Shiyan asked, âIs there anything you want to tell me?â
Ling Sheng said, âYes, the roast meat here is really delicious. You have to come and try it. Oh, sorry. You canât eat it. Why donât you come tomorrow? Iâll eat, and you can watch.â
Jun Shiyan said, âStudent Ling, Iâm asking you a question. Please mind your attitude.â
Ling Sheng sat upright like a primary school student in class. She put down the lamb chop reluctantly. âTeacher Jun, what do you want me to say?â
Jun Shiyan asked, âDid filming go smoothly this morning?â
Ling Sheng said, âIt went very smoothly.â
Upon seeing her strict look, Huo Xuanzhou looked down on her. Look, look. She was knocked out from eating too much. What kind of drug had that scumbag Third Master Jun fed her? She was as obedient as a puppy.
Jun Shiyan asked, âDid something happen that you didnât want to tell me?â
Upon hearing this, Ling Sheng knew that someone in the film crew must have leaked this information. Someone had snitched and told him about the holes in her soles. Her eyes drooped. âYes, I suffered a small injury.â
Jun Shiyan asked, âA small injury?â
Ling Sheng chuckled. âIt might be a little more than that. Itâs already been handled. Itâs alright. Howâs business going on your side?â
Jun Shiyan said, âDonât try to change the subject. Iâm asking you something.â
Ling Sheng pouted and scratched her nose. In a soft voice, she said, âIâm just a little injured. Youâll know Iâm not lying if you take a look.â
Jun Shiyan asked, âWhere are you?â
Ling Sheng was about to report the address obediently.
Huo Xuanzhou snatched the phone and let out a cold snort. âHow is that any of your business, Captain Hindsight?â
Then, he hung up immediately.
Ling Shengâs face darkened as she reached out to snatch the phone. âWhat are you doing?â
Huo Xuanzhou, who was very unhappy, bellowed at her, âAre you that afraid of him?â
He could not bear to see her carefully trying to please him. That scumbag Jun Shiyan. What right did he have to make her please him? She had spoken gently to him and even coaxed him!
âSince when am I afraid of him?â Ling Sheng frowned, not knowing if she should call him again. âThis is called mutual respect. This is a little fun between couples. A heartless scumbag like you wouldnât understand.â
He had never had feelings for any woman, so he naturally did not know how she felt in a passionate relationship!
âWhat do you mean I wouldnât understand? Just tell me, what donât I understand?â Huo Xuanzhouâs handsome face darkened from anger. He was displeased with her gentle attitude toward another man.
âHave you ever loved someone deeply?â Ling Sheng gave him a disdainful look, picked up the lamb chop again, and continued chewing. No matter what happened, she could not treat her stomach unfairly. It was her first priority!
Huo Xuanzhou frowned so hard that the wrinkles on his forehead could probably kill a fly. âIf falling in love would make me like you, Iâd rather I never fall in love.â
Ling Sheng smiled at him and pretended to be nonchalant. âYouâd better remember your words. Be careful, or youâll end up like my father in the future. You wonât even have a shoulder to cry on if you regret it.â
âIsnât your father living quite a good life?â The person Huo Xuanzhou envied the most in his life was Sixth Uncle, who lived a free, unrestrained life.
âOnly he knows if itâs good or not.â Ling Sheng shook her head and sighed. âReally, Huo Xuanzhou, let me advise you. Donât be a scumbag. Thereâs no medicine for regret in this world.â
