âThis is my treat!â Jin Lan said with a smile as she stood in the water.
âAre we celebrating some good news?â Everyone looked at her.
Lu Mingjue also looked at her in surprise. His gaze landed on her face with a probing look.
Jin Lan shook her head and smiled. âNo, itâs just that I want to announce to everyone that Mr. Lu Mingjue and I have already broken up. Weâre no longer in a relationship. Iâm worried that everyone will misunderstand and jeer, which might affect me or Mr. Mingjueâs future relationships. Thatâs why Iâm clarifying things to everyone today. That way, there wonât be unnecessary misunderstandings in the future.â
As soon as she said this, everyone felt a little embarrassed. They didnât know what expression to show. Of course, they couldnât laugh and eat fruits anymore. Otherwise, wouldnât they be building their happiness on the pain of the couple that had just broken up?
Jin Lan called out to everyone, âDonât stand on ceremony. Just make yourself at home.â
She felt a low pressure from Lu Mingjueâs direction. She didnât dare to look in his direction, but she knew that he didnât look happy.
She had used him to the extreme. After achieving her goal, she quickly clarified their relationship⦠Anyone would be angry.
Hence, she could understand why he was angry.
âEveryone, eat up. If itâs not enough, order more. Remember to put it on my name.â Lu Mingjue suddenly smiled. âThereâs no need to be reserved.â
Everyone was a little hesitant at first, but seeing that the two of them had broken up so peacefully, it seemed that there was indeed nothing to be worried about.
Hence, the cheerful atmosphere slowly returned. Someone even said, âYoung people nowadays are indeed able to let go of things easily. Theyâll still get along even after parting. This kind of mentality and attitude toward relationships is indeed worth learning from.â
âYes, yes, yes. Come, have some juice.â
After soaking for a while, Jin Lan stood up and said, âI still have scenes tomorrow, so Iâll leave first. Everyone, do as you wish.â
After she left, she went to the dressing room. After drying her hair, she applied skincare products. An attendant beside her asked, âMiss Jin, how should we deal with these flowers?â
Jin Lan looked at the card on it and couldnât help but find it funny. Thinking of what had just happened, she couldnât help but think of Liang Longâs recent attitude toward Xiao Bao and his shock when he found out that Xiao Bao was going to the menâs changing room.
After she roughly understood the situation, she held back her laughter and said, âThese flowers are quite beautiful. If you like them, you can have them.
You can do whatever you want with them.â
After changing her clothes, Jin Lan walked out. Without a contract, an assistant, or a car, she could be considered a free person for a short period of time.
As she walked, Lu Mingjueâs angry voice came from behind. âJin Lan!â
She paused for a moment before turning around. She saw Lu Mingjue striding over. Under the lights, she could clearly see the anger in his eyes.
âMr. Lu,â Jin Lan greeted. âWhy are you looking for me?â
âWhatâs the matter? Canât I look for you for no reason?â
Jin Lan was at a loss for words. Meeting his angry gaze, she said in a low voice,
âI still have to go back and read the script.â âWho told you to break up with me in public?â
So this was why.
Jin Lan thought it through and said softly, âMr. Lu, back then, it was my wishful thinking to drag you in and tell everyone that we were dating. It affected you very badly. It was indeed my fault. Now that the matter has come to an end, I want to make things clear to everyone in public so that they wonât misunderstand. This way, you can regain your status as a single person. This can also be considered a small compensation for what I owe you.â
Lu Mingjue was so angry that he laughed. His tone was deep and cold. âPreviously, you said that youâd do anything to make it up to me. Itâs only been two days, but youâve already forgotten your promise?â
âMr. Lu, I donât understandâ¦â Jin Lan didnât dare to think of the reason behind his words. ââ¦I thought us breaking up would be the best for you.â
âYou donât understand what you did. You used me and left right after you were done. You really donât understand, heh.â Lu Mingjue was so angry that he didnât look at her.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
His gaze wandered and did not stay anywvhere. He looked angry.
Jin Lan suddenly had a bold idea. She lowered her head and looked at her shoes.
Then, she suddenly looked up and asked, âDo you like me, Mr. Lu?â
Lu Mingjue looked away from wherever he was looking and stared at her. His tone was harsh. âYouâre thinking too much. Have you forgotten who I am?â
After he finished speaking, he saw the hurt in her eyes. Regret always came a step too late. The frustration of being quick-witted swept through him. However, before he could think of a way to make it up to her, Jin Lan had already smiled and said, âI understand, Mr. Lu. Iâll think of other ways to make it up to you in the future.â
With that, she turned around and ran away.
In the night, her figure quickly merged with the darkness.
On the production teamâs side, Qiao Weiyang had already finished filming.
She drank water as she walked toward the dressing room. With the help of the makeup artist, she quickly removed her makeup, changed into her clothes, and walked out slowly.
Tao Huan stepped forward and handed her her bag and cell phone. âSister Weiyang.â
âThank you. Youâve worked hard too. Go back and rest early.â
âOkay.â After Tao Huan left, Liang Kang came over.
He coughed lightly. âWeiyang.â
Qiao Weiyang saw that he was wearing a brand new suit, his hair was combed neatly, and his entire body was freshly styled. She couldnât help but smile and say, âMr. Kang, did you specially tidy up after soaking in the hot springs?â
âNo, I have something to tell you.â Liang Kangâs eyes were very bright, and Qiao Weiyang found it strange.
She said, âWhat is it? Tell me.â
Liang Kang was about to speak when Tao Huan ran in. She glanced at Liang
Kang and whispered into Qiao Weiyangâs ear, âSister Weiyang, President Su is here.â
âReally?â The smile on Qiao Weiyangâs face lit up.
She was not usually cold now. She smiled much more than before.
However, there was still a difference between a smile and a beam. When she faced Liang Kang, her smile was more or less a mask of social function. When she heard that Su Zhuoqian was here, her smile was like a blooming flower.
Liang Kang was stunned. Qiao Weiyang said, âMr. Kang, Iâm going out for a while. Letâs talk later. I still have to wait for Xiao Bao anyvvay.â
âOkay, go ahead with your work.â Liang Kang did not force her. After all, he still had a lot of time later.
He watched Qiao Weiyang walk out.
She had a graceful figure and quickly walked forward. Although she was wearing loose clothes, her exquisite figure could be seen.
Liang Kang had his hands behind his back and was holding a handful of fiery roses. Just then, he saw Qiao Weiyang walk to a car. The next moment, a man got out of the vehicle.
He did not see what the man looked like clearly, but from his figure, expression, and actions, he could tell that he was an extraordinary figure. He exuded a cold aura..
