Chapter 30.2

After getting in the car, he helped Su Qian fasten her seat belt and explained, “Actually, it was Feng Xianxian who asked me to come.”

Su Qian raised her eyebrows, “So you were here on a date with her. Well, you even lied to me that you were just passing by.”

“It’s not a date, she took a photo of you and that man and sent it to me, I took this opportunity to make things clear with her.”

He withdrew his body, and when he spoke, his breath touched hers. The distance was very close, and Su Qian could almost feel his warm breath.

She leaned back in her chair and swallowed. And she held her breath subconsciously, “So, do you doubt me?”

“No.” He lowered his eyes, and his gaze fell on her rosy lips, “Isn’t that guy just the man who had ice cream with you? He lost just by looking at his face.”

“Tsk.” Su Qian was uncomfortable being stared at by him, her eyes couldn’t help but flutter, “You are really confident.”

Jin Lie suddenly leaned in, with his face inches away from her charming red lips.

Su Qian’s heart was pounding, she lifted her eyes and met his. His deep black pupils seemed even deeper and more affectionate than usual.

She had a faint scent of white peach on her, and at this moment, even the air seemed sweet. Jin Lie swallowed, and leaned in to press down.

Slap——

A slap landed on his forehead.

“You, restrain yourself a bit.” Su Qian raised her chin and warned, “If you dare to kiss me, give it a try.”

Jin Lie: “……”

“You’re already making moves before we’ve made up, won’t you do ‘this and that’ when we’ve made up?!” Su Qian hummed, “It seems I need to think carefully.”

Jin Lie sighed, this is what is called ‘losing the wife and the soldiers’^[1]賠了夫人又折兵(péile fūrén yòu zhé bīng) = “losing the wife and the soldiers” is a Chinese idiom, which means to suffer a double loss. in the legend. His Adam’s apple rolled, and he said hoarsely, “I do have some other thoughts.”

His words made Su Qian feel her cheeks burning. She resisted the impulse to touch him with her hand, and she said irritably, “You stinky rogue!”

Jin Lie chuckled lightly, “Shall I take you home?”

She turned her face away and ignored him. Jin Lie knew this was her tacit consent.

“Mom misses you, when will you have time to go back and see her?” He paused and said, “Mrs. Wang also misses you. After you left, she doesn’t talk to me voluntarily.”

“So Mrs. Wang still remembers me.”

“Not just them. Me too.” He said, “I miss you too.”

Su Qian found that this person has been more straightforward since he confessed. At this moment, not only her ears, but also her cheeks were blushing.

“You stop talking, and drive!”

The car stopped downstairs, and Jin Lie seemed to have no intention of leaving. Su Qian guessed his thoughts, but it’s not the time yet.

“I’ve taken a new drama and will join the group in a few days, so I need to maintain a good state.”

Jin Lie smiled, “Look at how nervous you are, I don’t mean anything.”

“You better not.”

“What group are you joining this time?” Afraid that she would get angry the more she thought about it, he simply changed the subject.

Su Qian was nonchalant, “Jiang Zhan’s.”

Jin Lie was taken aback, and he had a bad feeling instantly, “What does he do?”

Su Qian showed him an innocent smile, “He, he is the director of my new drama.”

Jin Lie: “……”

He felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

——

A month later, Su Qian successfully joined the group.

The film’s theme is a bit of soft science fiction, with top-notch foreign production teams for special effects, and top-level configurations in costumes and all other aspects.

As soon as the project was officially announced, it received a great deal of attention. In addition to this, the most important thing is that the director is Jiang Zhan, the youngest genius in the country. Everyone is saying that after Su Qian finishes filming this drama, she will completely take off.

In response to this, Su Qian maintains a normal heart. She has experienced all these before she came in, but it’s just a repeat in the book, which makes her cherish the opportunity to perform in every good work and every good director.

For the first half of the month, Su Qian has been following the special effects team to learn and train. This is different from the action scenes in the previous web drama. It’s something she has never touched before.

Su Qian gets up early and stays up late every day, even if she doesn’t have her classes, she will go to watch.

Jiang Zhan is very satisfied with her dedication and seriousness, and lets her ask if there is anything she doesn’t understand.

When they finished work, Su Qian suddenly said, “You seem like a different person when you’re working.”

Although Jiang Zhan is young, he is serious and convincing when he works, with unique insights and viewpoints.

Jiang Zhan smiled, “You are the same. You are a very reliable partner.”

Su Qian felt that this should be a very high praise at work.

As they entered the hotel lobby, three people came face to face. Su Qian’s gaze quickly passed over Shang Jingyu and landed on the woman he was holding hands with.

When Feng Xianxian saw Su Qian, she thought of being rejected by Jin Lie, and immediately got angry, “Sister, go that way, there is dirt here.”

Feng Xiaoxiao laughed at her childishness, “What’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing. Where is Brother Shang taking us? I’m hungry.”

Shang Jingyu looked at her expressionlessly, and gently told Feng Xiaoxiao, “Not far, we’ll be there soon.”

Su Qian watched the three people walk away and walked into the elevator in a daze. For a moment, she didn’t understand the relationship line.

Feng Xianxian, Feng Xiaoxiao…

The elevator dinged as it arrived at the floor, and Su Qian walked out, suddenly realizing.

She had completely forgotten that Feng Xiaoxiao was the female lead in this book! And she was Feng Xianxian’s sister.

According to the plot in the book, after the female lead returned, Shang Jingyu quickly proposed to her. After resolving their emotional issues, they began to make big moves in the business world.

And the one who suffered the most in that business war was indeed the Jin family.

After fully recalling this, Su Qian immediately called Jin Lie. As if they were connected by fate, he happened to call her at the same time.

“Is everything going smoothly with the drama crew?” His voice was calm and steady, as if it could soothe one’s nerves.

Su Qian sat on the sofa and said, “It’s pretty good.”

“Hmm, Feng Xianxian hasn’t bothered you again, has she?”

Wait a minute.

“How do you know I ran into her?”

Jin Lie paused, then honestly admitted, “Actually, Ah Yi has been following you.”

Su Qian subconsciously looked at the door, and surprised, “Is your bodyguard a ninja? I didn’t even notice.”

Jin Lie chuckled lightly, “I’m afraid he’ll disturb you, so I asked him to try not to appear in front of you.”

Su Qian was picking at the pillow, “Actually, you don’t need to waste manpower on me.”

The distance in her tone reminded him that the two of them were still in a separate relationship. His eyes darkened, and he said, “This is not a waste, I would worry if no one protects you.”

Remembering the purpose of her call, Su Qian quickly changed the subject, “What have you been busy with recently?”

“There’s a project I’ve been discussing with the Shang family.”

“Don’t do this project!”

Jin Lie raised an eyebrow, “What’s wrong?”

Su Qian pondered for a moment, and chose her words carefully, “I have a friend who has news that this project you’re talking about is a trap set by Shang Jingyu.”

In the book, Shang Jingyu used this opportunity to dominate the domestic business battlefield. He swallowed half of the Jin family’s shares with this project.

“Ah Lie, believe me, I won’t harm you.”

Jin Lie noticed that she blurted out “Ah Lie”, indicating that she was really anxious.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.” His deep voice came out of the phone, “Thank you.”

Su Qian pursed her lips and said, “……You’ve helped me so many times, it’s only right.”

Feng Xianxian couldn’t swallow her anger. After dinner, she returned to the hotel and saw Feng Xiaoxiao talking softly with Shang Jingyu on the phone, and suddenly an idea popped into her head.

After an agonizing wait for the call to end, Feng Xianxian leaned over and hugged Feng Xiaoxiao, “Sister, you and brother-in-law really have a good relationship.”

Since they were already engaged, she had long privately started calling Shang Jingyu her brother-in-law.

“We’ve been apart for too long. But fortunately, he hasn’t changed towards me.”

Feng Xianxian really envied Feng Xiaoxiao. Although Shang Jingyu is not a good person and seems to have no empathy for others, he is impeccable towards Feng Xiaoxiao.

If her sister was willing to speak for her…

“I’m not so lucky. Jin Lie has changed his heart.”

“You two have been without results for so long, you should try to look at other people.”

Feng Xianxian’s eyes reddened, “But I just like him. Sister, can you talk to brother-in-law and let him teach Su Qian a lesson for me.”

Feng Xiaoxiao knew she was upset, but she couldn’t agree with this approach, “If Jin Lie doesn’t want you, it’s because he’s short-sighted, you will definitely find someone better. But it’s better to give up on the crooked thoughts, why become ugly because of someone who doesn’t like you.”

She understood the reasoning, but she couldn’t take it in. And the phrase “someone who doesn’t like her” stabbed her heart.

Feng Xianxian pursed her lips and didn’t speak, but her eyes were full of resentment.

In the end, she just couldn’t let it go!
