Chapter 227

Nodding again, He Lele lowered her eyes.

"You underestimate me too much, don't you? You forgot? I said it before: if you have the ability to sleep with all the men in the world, I'll dare to cover your condoms for the rest of your life. As long as you're happy, there's nothing that can't be done."

"You, you won't think I'm self-deprecating and cheap?"

"Pfft! Between men and women, it's all consensual; who's more noble than whom? If you have the ability to handle several men at once and keep them living in peace, I might even have to ask you for advice!"

The heavy stone in her heart fell, and He Lele finally smiled. She hadn't thought about handling anyone at the same time; she only sought peace of mind.

"Although I must praise Qin Zhixiu and the others for their good taste, but... what about the boss?"

"...L and I, it's impossible. Whether it's Mu Wei or Qin Zhixiu, before they leave me, I won't take the initiative to leave them. A me like this simply can't have a beginning with L."

Ren Lingyu gazed at He Lele for a long time and sighed softly. "Really, it's the boss who missed out himself; what was he doing earlier! But I don't think the boss will give up so easily, you have to be mentally prepared."

"Can you help me persuade him?"

"Don't! I can't persuade him on this kind of thing. Alright, it's clear now. I thought it was a big deal; it's just hooking up with a few men. Did you forget my cousin? The number of boyfriends she has at the same time is never less than three, and those men still love her to death, and when she dumps them, they want to commit suicide! You only have two, what does that count as! Now, let's eat!"

"Um..."

"You don't still have things you're hiding from me, do you?"

"Actually... it's more than two."

"...Who else?"

"Ji Jie."

"That playboy?" Ren Lingyu exclaimed.

After finishing morning tea and making an appointment to go to the arcade next time, Lingyu and Caesar, who had been waiting on the side, left together. Only then did He Lele truly relax her tense nerves.

She had thought for a long time about how to avoid the "chambermaid" part when explaining the current situation to Lingyu. Now it seemed she had succeeded. If Lingyu knew she had slept with them at the same time because of that job, then no matter what the situation was now, Lingyu would definitely fall into self-blame. So... she could say anything, but she would hide this matter from Lingyu for the rest of her life.

"Shall we go back?" Qin Zhixiu asked in a low voice. "I wrote a new song and want you to be the first to hear it."

"Hmm! Let's go back."

In the taxi, just as Qin Zhixiu was humming a melody softly and He Lele was smiling at Qin Zhixiu's pleasing beauty while holding the snacks packed for Ji Jie, her phone rang in the car.

"A-Zhi, where are you? They invited me as a mystery guest for this afternoon's 'I Want to Say to You', be prepared!"

I thought about sleeping for a while at noon but ended up sleeping the whole afternoon... continuing to write now...

☆, (10 Fresh Coins) Chapter 247: You Know How to Knead Dough

As soon as he heard that the "I Want to Say to You" program team had invited Du Wei as a mystery guest, Ji Jie almost immediately called to cancel the appearance! Qin Zhixiu usually didn't participate in variety shows, and participating in the interview last time was already an exception. This time it was completely to support a few newcomers. He had specifically instructed Xiao Zhou beforehand to communicate the script well, with the program focusing on introducing newcomers, just to prevent the program team from playing tricks. As it turned out, they were really tactless!

After considering it, Ji Jie opened the door to let the bodyguard into the house. Only then did He Lele know that from the time they returned until now, the bodyguard hadn't actually left at all, which was why he could drink with peace of mind?

"I'll go with you this afternoon. If they go too far, I'll call a stop to it. Lele, if you have nothing to do, don't run around—or, come with us?" Ji Jie changed his mind at the last minute because he suddenly remembered a rose he had thrown into the toilet and flushed away.

Although she had been Ruan Lin's assistant for a few days, He Lele had truly never been to a TV station. However, she had no curiosity about the 3D world, so she just quietly followed Qin Zhixiu and smiled at him when he turned to look at her.

"Do you smell anything?" Ji Jie suddenly lowered his head and said in her ear.

He Lele sniffed.

"With such a big vinegar bottle beside you, you didn't smell the sourness?"

He Lele glanced sideways at Ji Jie, who was feigning grievance, speechless.

Ji Jie grinned and stole a kiss while hugging her shoulder. "Hmm, the bottle cap is closed."

He Lele touched his waist with an expressionless face and twisted it hard— "Ow!"

A Michael Jackson-style scream.

Qin Zhixiu turned back and smiled, and under the cover of Ji Jie's figure, lightly kissed He Lele's cheek.

"You kid!" Ji Jie scolded irritably.

The makeup artist and Qin Zhixiu's assistant manager, Xiao Zhou, were already waiting in the dressing room arranged by the program team, and the two newcomers who were going on the show later had also finished their makeup and were familiarizing themselves with the script.

"Brother Ji!" "Brother Ji!" Everyone stood up to greet Ji Jie as soon as they saw him.

"How are the preparations?" Facing his own team and artists, the oily and unserious look could no longer be found on Ji Jie's face. What remained was the composure and confidence of someone in control, and his capable, even somewhat sharp aura couldn't help but make He Lele a little surprised.

From the rehearsal to the official recording, Ji Jie didn't give any more instructions. Staff members would occasionally send him chairs or water, but he politely declined them all, insisting on standing in the corner and watching every move of the host and artists on stage. His upright posture, focused expression, and sharp-angled profile...

As if a lost ant had crawled across her heart, He Lele, who was acting as an audience member mixed in with the fans in the front row, was amazed at her own fan-girling and hurriedly looked away.
