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.
âLiting, I really troubled you a lot this time, making you come all the way to fetch me.â
âYouâre my girlfriend. Itâs only right for me to pick you up. Donât say such words as if youâre treating me like a stranger.â
Shen Weiwei smiled happily. âYouâre right.â
âWhen I get back, Iâll probably have to change my manager. Iâm not sure whoâll take over yet.â She let out a sigh. And speaking dispiritedly she continued, âMeng Xun is actually a very good manager. Itâs just that she will sometimes cross the line for artists under her. Liting, Iâve never asked you for anything. Could you speak to Mr. Lu about just this matter? Please just let Meng Xun stay at Tianyu. Iâve been with her for a long time already, and I donât wish to change my manager anymore.â
Lu Liting took a deep breath and a troubled look showed on his face. Following Lu Lixingâs car, he took a corner-turn and gently said in an apologetic tone, âWeiwei, Iâm so sorry. Iâve previously promised my brother that I wonât use any of the Lu familyâs resources, even more so my brotherâs position to interfere with your affairs, soâŚâ
The smile on Shen Weiweiâs 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.
âItâs ok. I can work diligently and audition with my own acting skills. Iâm sure thereâll be directors who will see the value in me. Donât feel sorry. Letâs work hard together, and our life will definitely get better!â
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, âWeiwei, thank you for being understanding of me.â
âIf I didnât understand you, I wouldnât be by your side for four years, ok?â Then as if she thought of something, her face sank again. âBut tell me truthfully if you still have feelings for Qingqing.â
âDonât talk nonsense!â
âI didnât. Iâm a woman. I can feel it. The way you looked at Qingqing today felt odd.â
After hearing what Shen Weiwei said, Lu Liting suddenly thought of the red marks that he saw earlier on Ji Qingqingâs neck and collarbone. He just held Shen Weiweiâs hand even more tightly as his thoughts became disorganized. âThatâs not true. You most likely saw it wrong.â
âIt actually doesnât 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 canât forget her. Iâve been with you for four years. How could I still blame you for this?â
Shen Weiwei laughed. âTo be honest, Qingqing looks better than me and sheâs more famous than me in the entertainment industry. She suits you moreâŚâ
âDonât talk nonsense.â Lu Liting looked at her with a chiding look. âShe belongs to my past and thereâs no point in bringing it up. In this lifetime, I donât want anyone, but you.â
âReally?â
âOf course, itâs real! Furthermore, sheâs now my brotherâs wife. Do you think there would be any possibility between me and her?â
âTalking about Mr. Lu, he really does love Qingqing.â Shen Weiwei went on to tell Lu Liting everything that she saw and heard while she was filming. âThe 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.â
âCook?â 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!
âYeah, 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 itâs not him?â
Lu Lixing did his best to squeeze out a smile. âI will cook for you too if youâd like that.â
