Hearing Jiang Lingâerâs words, Li Yu nodded and said, âIsnât it obvious enough?
I confessed to you a while ago, donât you remember? Youâre the one who doesnât take me seriously.â
Jiang Lingâer had a feeling that she had dug herself into a hole and didnât know what to say.
Li Yu was clearly ready to kill the conversation. Jiang Lingâer asked, âSo, what are you here for?â
Li Yu hesitated for a moment and said, âWhat else could 1 be here for? You rejected me so straightforwardly, but you readily agreed to someone else. The way you treat me differently, do you think 1 can be comfortable with that? Iâm here to pout and express my dissatisfaction.â
Jiang Lingâer was somewhat speechless. She asked, âSo, have you pouted enough now?â
Li Yu shook his head and said, âIâm still not comfortable. Why did you reject me?â
Jiang Lingâer had a feeling that he was intentionally dragging this out. She asked, âWhat do you want me to do to make you feel better?â
Li Yuâs mood brightened. He wasnât about to offer cliched lines or pretend to be understanding. He was going to be selfish.
Li Yu said, âThen how about agreeing to be the female lead in my project?â
Jiang Lingâer was stunned. This guy was really direct. He said it without any preparation?
Jiang Lingâer was taken aback. This guy was so direct, without any preamble. She thought for a moment and nodded, saying, âAlright, 1â11 give it a try. Just send me the script one of these days.â
Li Yu was surprised.
He had expected Jiang Lingâer to refuse, but she had agreed this time. Happiness had come unexpectedly.
Seeing that Li Yu was silent, Jiang Lingâer said, âWell? Whatâs with the silence? Are you regretting it now?â
Li Yu grinned and said, âThatâs more like it. Letâs go pick up the script together, and while weâre at it, letâs have a meal. Hereâs to a happy collaboration.â
Jiang Lingâer was a bit surprised but didnât refuse.
What meal? She had intended for Li Yu to send the script over to her when he was free; not right away!
Li Yu took advantage of Jiang Lingâerâs daze and held her hand. He said happily, âLetâs go.â
Her ears turned slightly red, and Jiang Lingâer attempted to pull her hand away. She thought Li Yu was being a bit too forward. However, his grip was firm, and she couldnât free herself.
Li Yuâs lips curled into a smile. He had successfully taken her hand, and he had no intention of letting go. Jiang Lingâer tried to shake his hand off but couldnât.
Jiang Lingâer took a deep breath. This was a school and there were many people. She couldnât make a scene in front of so many people, so she decided to bear with it for now.
Jiang Lingâer sighed and said, âMy driver is waiting for me at the gate. How about we do this another day?â
Li Yu wouldnât hear of it and said, âIâll ask him to leave. Weâll pick up the script, have a meal, and then Iâll personally drop you off.â
Jiang Lingâer was helpless.
Itâs often said that women can be troublesome, but when a man is persistent, things can become even more complicated.
Seeing Jiang Lingâerâs helpless expression, Li Yu couldnât help but feel a sense of accomplishment.
It was clear that Jiang Lingâer, despite her initial resistance, was concerned about his feelings, which made Li Yu quite pleased.
After witnessing the interaction between Jiang Lingâer and Li Yu and overhearing their conversation, Bai Xue was overwhelmed with jealousy.
The more she thought about it, the more dissatisfied she became. She couldnât pinpoint what made her so upset.
Jiang Lingâer, who should have been at her mercy, was now thriving, while Bai Xue had been facing a series of setbacks recently.
This topsy-turvy turn of events left Bai Xue feeling quite frustrated.
Driven by her emotions, Bai Xue headed straight to the company, ignoring the secretaryâs words, and walked into the office of the Vice President, Wang Wei.
Wang Wei, seeing Bai Xueâs demeanor, knew that she was upset. He gestured for his secretary to leave the room.
Wang Wei asked, âMiss Bai, whatâs the matter? Who has offended you?â
Wang Weiâs tone was calm, devoid of any emotions.
Bai Xue directly stated, âVice President, I want to discuss something. Do you know about the audition for the Chen Groupâs spokesperson?â
âOf course I do.â Wang Wei nodded. âWhat do you think?â
Bai Xue took a deep breath and said, âSince you know about it, why did anyone tell me? Also, who is the company planning to send?â
Thinking about how Jiang Lingâer had received an invitation from the Chen Groupâs young master while she remained in the dark, Bai Xue was quite angry.
Wang Wei, noticing the malice in Bai Xueâs eyes, furrowed his brows. He understood that this woman wasnât as innocent and pleasant as she seemed. However, Li Yan was deeply devoted to Bai Xue.
After a moment of contemplation, Wang Wei smiled and said, âOur company has many talented artists. If you want to know whoâs going, 1 suggest you ask Tang Xiaohong. Sheâs the one responsible for the arrangements..â
