Chapter 08.1

The shooting schedule was in its final stages. Since that day, the male lead has been avoiding Chu Piaopiao like avoiding a ghost every day. And Chu Piaopiao, being deliberately ignored by Shang Jingyu, was busy pleasing the other party every day, naturally she didn’t have the leisure to bother Su Qian again.

Two days later, Su Qian’s scenes were finished. She unexpectedly received flowers sent by the crew, and even took photos with the director, coordinator, and some other staff members.

Su Qian returned home in a good mood.

Jin Lie was not there, only Mrs. Wang was working.

Su Qian had enough of the crew’s boxed meals, left a word that she wanted to eat crayfish, and went upstairs to rest.

After eating and drinking enough, Su Qian went to bed early, and when she opened her eyes the next day, Jin Lie was still not there. It was then that she couldn’t help but ask Mrs. Wang.

“The master has gone on a business trip.”

With this sentence, Su Qian seemed to hear the sound of fireworks exploding. Days without that man were like heaven.

So after breakfast, Su Qian took Mrs. Wang to the shopping plaza for a sweep. She had long been fed up with the terrifying lace princess style in the room.

She shopped for a day, and Su Qian bought various household items. When she got home, she remembered that she should buy a few suitable clothes for herself. There were really not many in the wardrobe that could be worn out.

But never mind, she didn’t know when she would rest, and she could go another day.

Su Qian transformed the room into a brand new look, and she installed a camera in the living room by herself.

Actually, there was this thing at home, but she couldn’t see it on her phone. She felt that Jin Lie would think too much if she told him, so it was better to make a simple one herself.

In this way, she could monitor her own small vault without any dead angles in 360 degrees.

After being busy, Su Qian collapsed on the sofa and ate an ice cream. At this time, Mother Jin called.

After greeting each other for a while, Mother Jin finally said that they should go back for dinner tomorrow night.

Su Qian was about to say that Jin Lie was not at home, and she might have to go by herself. Before she could speak, the door opened.

Jin Lie walked in with a good-looking but expressionless face.

“Okay, mom, I know.”

After hanging up the phone, Su Qian got up and walked over, and asked Zhong Ning in a small voice, “What’s wrong with him?”

He couldn’t hide his hostility. Should she consider their safety distance?

“It’s nothing, Mr. Jin just had a tooth extraction.”

So it was a toothache causing the trouble.

Su Qian patted her chest, “With that look on your face, I thought someone had cheated you out of your money.”

Jin Lie turned his head, and the knives in his eyes flew towards her coldly.

Su Qian: “……” It seemed like she inadvertently implied herself.

“Those who cheat me out of my money will lose both their person and their wealth.”

That’s a bit harsh, isn’t it?!

Su Qian knew she was in the wrong, dared to be angry but dared not speak. She could only curse in her heart: May you have to undergo needle treatment when you see a dentist! And may there be no anesthesia during the needle treatment!

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zhong Ning quickly said that if there was nothing else, he would leave first. After saying that, he didn’t dare to stay for a second longer, and slipped away as if he had oil on the soles of his feet.

The space was a bit stagnant, Su Qian looked at Jin Lie’s slightly swollen cheek.

Sigh, after all, she did take two million from him.

“Cough, is it okay to eat pasta tonight? It’s soft.”

Jin Lie didn’t make a sound, he raised his hand to pull off his tie, but his face obviously eased.

“Hmm.”

“Then I’ll call you later!”

The alarm was lifted, and Su Qian ran to find Mrs. Wang with a relaxed face. There were two rabbit ears on the hat of her homewear, jumping with her steps, looking lively and cute.

Jin Lie withdrew his gaze indifferently, changed his slippers and went upstairs to take a bath.

When he came out of the bathroom, the door was just knocked. Su Qian pushed the door open, and her head with a bun poked in, “Dinner is ready.”

After speaking, her gaze fixed on the clearly defined abs. Just after taking a bath, it was still shining with water, and the cold white skin looked dazzlingly bright.

To be honest, his condition is enough to beat those little fresh meats in the entertainment circle several times, just looking at the temperament has won too much.

Unfortunately, his character is not pleasing.

“Have you seen enough?”

Jin Lie’s tone was cool, and he picked up a bathrobe from the side and put it on.

Cut, he’s holding his breath. What’s the big deal about taking a look?

“Don’t be nervous, I’ve seen this thing no less than eighty times if not a hundred.” Su Qian said insincerely, “You can only be considered average at best.”

After saying that, she ran off in a puff of smoke, not noticing Jin Lie’s dark face.

Dinner was like a silent play. The two people at the dining table were clearly divided, with no eye contact or any conversation.

This made Su Qian dream back to the scene of her first meeting with a netizen when she was young and ignorant. They chatted passionately online, expressing their feelings with emoticons, but as soon as they met, they quickly became two pretentious mutes.

She wondered if her words just now had hurt Jin Lie’s male pride, and from time to time she stole a glance at him, thinking that he wouldn’t go to extremes over such a small matter.

Mrs. Wang noticed her behavior and thought the two were quarreling, so she automatically stepped in.

“The lady said you just had a tooth extraction, and specifically instructed that the pasta be made softer. Is the master still used to eating it?”

Jin Lie’s eyes moved slightly, and then he lightly said “Hmm.”

He still had that deadpan expression, but at least he had a reaction.

Su Qian openly praised Mrs. Wang as a divine helper. She secretly gave her a thumbs up.

“What are you doing?” Suddenly, Jin Lie’s gaze swept over.

Su Qian stiffened, then straightened her arm, “Your ‘hmm’ sounds really nice.”

She was so embarrassed by her own forced compliment that she built up a thirty-story residential building in her mind.

Jin Lie was even more direct: “Idiot.”
