☆, (8 Fresh Coins) Chapter 231: Cannot Accept

Hand!

A hand as cold as ice! Who?

Go away! Don't come over!

It's okay, it's okay, don't cry, don't cry...

"Lele, come with me... back to the apartment."

"Since you can accept Mu Wei, what does it matter if there's one more of me?"

"Everyone is a devil, no one is an angel. If tomorrow is the last day of your life, do you still insist on rejecting them?"

Waking up from the chaotic dream, He Lele got up carefully, looking down at the deep and exquisite facial features of the man on the bed. She really couldn't distinguish, couldn't judge, where the direction he pointed for her was leading.

The night before last, she was grateful that Ruan Lin didn't listen to her, but followed her all the way downstairs, and rescued her immediately after hearing the commotion. What surprised her was that Li Yiquan, Lingyu, and Caesar had arrived even before the police.

Li Yiquan said he called her back after seeing the text message, but her phone was turned off. Lingyu was worried, so she said she would come over to see, not expecting that something really happened.

After finishing the statement at the police station, Ruan Lin's face was very bad. Even through the silicone mask, she could see the anger on his face.

"You knew she might be implicated and retaliated against, yet you didn't take any preventive measures?"

"Ruan—it was my own carelessness, it has nothing to do with them." He Lele said.

"Lele, I'm sorry..."

"Lingyu, I'm not okay! Even if there's a mistake, it's the fault of those bad guys. It's very late, you guys go back and rest."

"Then what about you? You definitely can't live there anymore, you should just come live at my house!"

"No need." Ruan Lin hugged He Lele's shoulder. "You'd better solve the problem in the shortest possible time, otherwise I will solve it in my own way."

"Lele..." Ren Lingyu didn't understand. Last time, that Mu Wei, because Lele didn't seem to want to talk about it, she didn't ask. How did another man pop up now? What exactly was Lele hiding from her?

He Lele smiled reluctantly, looking at Caesar and Li Yiquan. "Lingyu, it's okay, he will protect me."

With great difficulty, He Lele persuaded Ren Lingyu to leave, and Caesar and Li Yiquan also left together.

"Lele, come with me... back to the apartment." Ruan Lin said in a low voice.

As soon as the words "apartment" entered her ears, her left hand suddenly felt a piercing pain. "No, I'm not going back."

"Then let's stay in a hotel for a few days, and I'll buy a house in these few days and move there?"

Looking at Ruan Lin's serious expression, He Lele walked out of the lobby of the police station, using the night to cover up her embarrassment. Every word she uttered was extremely difficult.

"Ruan Lin, I know you are good to me, I really know, but I cannot accept it."

Many things in life are not obtained just because you want them, and not held onto just because you want them.

"Why?"

"...I cannot accept it." She couldn't leave herself any illusions. Whether it was him or Ji Jie, accepting them was equivalent to building a high-rise building with an unstable foundation. The longer it took, the more devastating the collapse of the building would be!

Pain and struggle filled Ruan Lin's eyes. Even in the dark, he could still see her suppressed appearance clearly. He understood what she meant, he understood, but...

"There is no such thing as whether you can accept it or not." Mu Wei's voice suddenly sounded, and two figures quietly appeared from the direction of the parking lot.

Seeing the appearance of Mu Wei and Ji Jie, Ruan Lin's face became even uglier.

"You..." He Lele was a little flustered.

"If they want to give, you just take it and play. If you make a mess, they will clean it up themselves. If they can't clean it up... I will clean them up, how about that?" Mu Wei smiled, his demeanor wanton and arrogant.

Ji Jie glared at Mu Wei and didn't speak.

He... what did he mean? He Lele's mind was in a mess, seeming to understand something and seeming not to understand at all.

A subtle atmosphere flowed between the four people. Outside the lights and under the night, invisible ties grew wantonly.

"Who do you think you are?" Ruan Lin said coldly.

Mu Wei laughed lightly. "Lele, come here."

He Lele was stunned for a moment, looked at Ruan Lin, and walked toward Mu Wei.

Ruan Lin looked at He Lele's figure in shock. "...Why? Don't tell me you fell in love with this guy!"

"Heh, Lele, you stay at Ji Jie's place first, he happens to have time to be your bodyguard recently." Mu Wei said softly.

"I—"

"Be obedient."

Ji Jie looked at Ruan Lin plainly and put his arm around He Lele's waist. "Go back and rest first, aren't you going to Xin× tomorrow?"

He Lele looked at the warm and powerful palm on her waist at a loss, and looked up at the leisurely Mu Wei.

"Be good, don't think about anything, go back and take a shower and rest first, I'll be back soon."

"...Mm."

Ruan Lin's gaze followed her figure until she disappeared into the darkness, until the dazzling car lights cut fiercely through his eyes.

"First of all, answer your question just now—she didn't fall in love with me. But... as long as I want, she will never leave me in her life."

"...Why?"

"'Why' is not important, what is important is, knowing this, what do you intend to do?"

"..."

"What? Not giving up? Hehe... alright, I'll tell you, so you don't work hard to make Lele fall in love with you, only to end up with no place to be buried. Do you know? From beginning to end, there was no such thing as a 'chambermaid'."

Going to type the next chapter with a pot on my head...

☆, (10 Fresh Coins) Chapter 232: What is Talent

"She is just an ordinary apartment manager. You were the one who ate her first, misleading her and misleading everyone. And because of the contract, she couldn't pay the breach of contract fee, and didn't dare to sue in court, so your Aunt Yun just let it be, and let her be our 'chambermaid' for three months." Mu Wei paused for a few seconds and continued, "Do you think, if Lele knew about this, would she hate you for a lifetime? Or would she hate you for all eternity?"

With a strange, warm smile, Mu Wei turned and walked toward the parking lot.

Ruan Lin, struck by lightning, seemed to be nailed to the spot, while in an even darker corner, there was another body enduring the burning of hellfire.

Chambermaid.

Three months of being a chambermaid.

Deep Blue Apartment! Ruan Lin, Mu Wei, Ji Jie, Qin Zhixiu, Shentu Mo!

He personally drafted the contract that trapped her under other men!

Three months!

Three months!

The night was quiet, peaceful, and gentle, and everyone knew that the human world under the night sky had never been peaceful.

He Lele followed Ji Jie back to the rental house without saying a word, and was arranged in Qin Zhixiu's room without any dispute. Not long after, Ji Jie brought her pajamas and toiletries from across the hall.

Squatting in front of her, looking at her sitting on the bed, "...Rest early."

Seeing that she didn't speak, Ji Jie stood up, but just as he turned around, his clothes were grabbed by her.

"What's wrong?" Turning back to look at her fragile eyes, Ji Jie hugged her affectionately.

"Go wash up, I'll watch you sleep."

He Lele didn't know what was wrong with her either. She only knew that she didn't want to be alone...

After washing up and lying on the bed, looking at Ji Jie beside her, she didn't feel sleepy, but after he covered her eyes, she soon fell into a deep sleep, as if... her body was automatically avoiding being awake.

When she woke up in the middle of the night, Mu Wei was lying beside her, breathing evenly. Smelling the faint perfume on him, she could almost hear his steady, reassuring heartbeat.

"Mm?" Mu Wei also opened his eyes leisurely, hugging her into his arms. "Sleep, look at the naked man when it's dawn."

"..."

The next day, Ji Jie suggested she rest at home for a day. He Lele sorted out her mood and still went to Xin× with him.

Perhaps considering that they were both new to the industry, there wasn't much content on the first day. Ji Jie's skilled and stable performance made the staff very suspicious of whether he had received professional training. And He Lele's performance...

"Sorry, can we take a break for a moment? She's not feeling well." Ji Jie requested.

The translator translated Ji Jie's words to the Japanese voice acting director hired by Xin×. The middle-aged Japanese man seemed a bit angry, muttered a bunch of things, and then stormed out of the recording studio.

"Uh..." The female translator looked at the handsome Ji Jie and found it a bit difficult to relay. "That, the director said..."

"I understand, thank you."

"Uh, then, everyone take a break for half an hour, and continue at 10:30." The translator instructed.

After everyone left the recording studio, He Lele finally relaxed her tense spirit. She didn't expect that so many people would come today, and they were all staring at her!
