Chapter 186
Throughout the ride, Lu Liting appeared to be preoccupied. His eyes looked in front, and no one could tell what he was thinking. The atmosphere in the car immediately became gloomy for a while.
“Liting, I really troubled you a lot this time, making you come all the way to fetch me.”
“You’re my girlfriend. It’s only right for me to pick you up. Don’t say such words as if you’re treating me like a stranger.”
Shen Weiwei smiled happily. “You’re right.”
“When I get back, I’ll probably have to change my manager. I’m not sure who’ll take over yet.” She let out a sigh. And speaking dispiritedly she continued, “Meng Xun is actually a very good manager. It’s just that she will sometimes cross the line for artists under her. Liting, I’ve never asked you for anything. Could you speak to Mr. Lu about just this matter? Please just let Meng Xun stay at Tianyu. I’ve been with her for a long time already, and I don’t wish to change my manager anymore.”
Lu Liting took a deep breath and a troubled look showed on his face. Following Lu Lixing’s car, he took a corner-turn and gently said in an apologetic tone, “Weiwei, I’m so sorry. I’ve previously promised my brother that I won’t use any of the Lu family’s resources, even more so my brother’s position to interfere with your affairs, so…”
The smile on Shen Weiwei’s face faded drastically. As he quickly glanced at her, Lu Liting somewhat sensed something. However, when he turned to look at Shen Weiwei again, the smile on her face was as bright as before, with no big difference.
“It’s ok. I can work diligently and audition with my own acting skills. I’m sure there’ll be directors who will see the value in me. Don’t feel sorry. Let’s work hard together, and our life will definitely get better!”
Lu Liting took one of his hands off the steering wheel and held onto her hand tightly. With a relieved smile on his face, he said, “Weiwei, thank you for being understanding of me.”
“If I didn’t understand you, I wouldn’t be by your side for four years, ok?” Then as if she thought of something, her face sank again. “But tell me truthfully if you still have feelings for Qingqing.”
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
“I didn’t. I’m a woman. I can feel it. The way you looked at Qingqing today felt odd.”
After hearing what Shen Weiwei said, Lu Liting suddenly thought of the red marks that he saw earlier on Ji Qingqing’s neck and collarbone. He just held Shen Weiwei’s hand even more tightly as his thoughts became disorganized. “That’s not true. You most likely saw it wrong.”
“It actually doesn’t really matter. Ji Qingqing was your first girlfriend, your first love, and people tend to have special feelings towards their first love. Even if they end up breaking up, they would still have a spot reserved in their hearts for each other, so I can understand it if you can’t forget her. I’ve been with you for four years. How could I still blame you for this?”
Shen Weiwei laughed. “To be honest, Qingqing looks better than me and she’s more famous than me in the entertainment industry. She suits you more…”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Lu Liting looked at her with a chiding look. “She belongs to my past and there’s no point in bringing it up. In this lifetime, I don’t want anyone, but you.”
“Really?”
“Of course, it’s real! Furthermore, she’s now my brother’s wife. Do you think there would be any possibility between me and her?”
“Talking about Mr. Lu, he really does love Qingqing.” Shen Weiwei went on to tell Lu Liting everything that she saw and heard while she was filming. “The night that Qingqing arrived at the filming site, Mr. Lu came. Not only that, Mr. Lu also cooked for Qingqing. The day when Qingqing got sick, he also sent her to the hospital himself. He was so worried.”
“Cook?” Lu Liting hand froze and he almost turned the steering into the wrong direction.
Lu Lixing cooking?
Growing up, he never saw Lu Lixing enter the kitchen. He actually cooked for a woman?
Impossible!
Lu Liting silently denied the credibility of the rumor. It must be Ji Qingqing who told everyone to spread that rumor!
“Yeah, he cooked. I heard it from the hotel employees. That day, Mr. Lu asked the waiter to deliver lots of dishes to his room, and the waiter saw Mr. Lu wearing an apron. Who else would be doing the cooking if it’s not him?”
Lu Lixing did his best to squeeze out a smile. “I will cook for you too if you’d like that.”
“Really?”
“Of course, I mean it.”
“Ok, then I will wait for your cooking.”
