Jiang Ling’er said, “I’m working now, but the workload isn’t heavy.”

“It may not be heavy, but it’ll be hard for you to say that again after you do it,” Wen Nuan nodded.

“Don’t worry, I value myself.” Jiang Ling’er said immediately. “I’ll never let work affect my health in the future.”

Wen Nuan was silent for a moment before she said, “There will always be a day when we can’t help ourselves. Although we can’t earn all the money, and we don’t lack money, it’s worth it if we can work hard for the career we like.”

“It’s not easy to come to this world,” said Jiang Ling’er. “Other than being happy, it’s best for you to live with no regrets.”

Wen Nuan picked up some vegetables and replied, “There’s nothing wrong with that idea; I agree with it very much. Ling’er, does Director Yan have a girlfriend?”

Hearing heer sudden question, Jiang Ling’er was stunned.

She replied, “I don’t know either. Maybe he’s single, or maybe he just hides it well enough to not let the outside world know.”

“Hmm, is he perhaps gay?” Wen Nuan asked softly. “I’ve seen many directors hooking up with actresses, but Director Yan doesn’t seem to have any. Isn’t it strange?”

Jiang Ling’er calmly replied, “Don’t talk nonsense. If he’s gay, how can he ignore the handsome male actors? Just look at the crew; it’s chock full of them! Director Yan has been in this industry for so many years, and he should’ve seen enough attractive women and handsome men. However, what he values most is acting skills.”

After saying that, Jiang Ling’er picked up some food.

Wen Nuan nodded, “That’s true. However, why can I never get enough of handsome men?”

Jiang Ling’er replied, “That’s because you’re a dog for good-looking people. You’re different from normal people like us.”

The two of them chatted as they ate. They had just finished eating.

After paying the bill, they had just left the hotpot restaurant when Jiang Ling’er’s phone rang.

She looked at the caller ID and quickly answered.

Wen Nuan pricked up her ears.

“Where are you?” Li Yu asked before Jiang Ling’er could reply.

These words sounded peaceful, but she knew there was some resentment in them.

“Nuannuan and I just finished eating hotpot and we’re about to go home,” she said.

Li Yu said, “You can go eat hotpot with other people, but why don’t you think about how long it’s been since you last accompanied me?”

Wen Nuan overheard this and looked disgusted. This man was more clingy than any woman.

Jiang Ling’er replied helplessly, “You’re too busy. Besides, I’m full.”

“Where did you eat? I’ll pick you up now,” he said.

“Nuannuan is driving, so she can send me off,” she answered.

Her words implied that he didn’t need to come.

He asked, “Are you sure you don’t want me to come? Can you bear the consequences of telling me this?”

Jiang Ling’er was speechless.

“Alright,” Wen Nuan said disdainfully, “Just let him come. Otherwise, this guy will start picking a fight with you again.”

Jiang Ling’er was at a loss for words and could only tell Li Yu her location.

“Drive slowly,” she said.

“I know. Wait for me,” said Li Yu.

Wen Nuan watched Jiang Ling’er end the call. “He just didn’t see you yesterday and today, but he’s already so ticked off?”

Jiang Ling’er replied, “It can’t be helped; I haven’t had dinner with him for a week. In his terms, a week meant we haven’t eaten together 21 times.”

“No wonder!” Wen Nuan said.

“If he finds out I’m going shopping with you tomorrow, he’ll probably be angry,” said Jiang Ling’er.

Wen Nuan burst into laughter when she heard this.

***

Ten minutes later, Li Yu arrived.

Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan said goodbye to each other and got into their respective cars.

***

In the car.

Jiang Ling’er looked at Li Yu’s angry face, feeling helpless. Didn’t she just have a meal with her best friend? Why did it feel like she just cheated on him?

“Li Yu, have you eaten?” She pretended to be relaxed. “Why don’t I accompany you to eat?”

Li Yu was silent, snorting coldly in his heart. ‘You’re already full, can we even eat now?’

She saw that he was quiet and knew he was throwing a tantrum.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” she smiled helplessly.

Li Yu was still upset. How could he feel happy when Jiang Ling’er was still smiling?

Jiang Ling’er sighed in her heart.

“Li Yu, what can I do to make you not angry?” she asked coquettishly.

“Let’s go home first,” he replied as he helped her put on her seatbelt.

Jiang Ling’er took this opportunity to hug him, gently biting his chin.

Li Yu snorted and bit her earlobe.

Jiang Ling’er immediately let out a soft groan, her body a little numb. She had wanted to tease Li Yu, but now she was the one getting teased instead.

“Li Yu…” she said..
