Chapter 247

"Hmm, I know."

"Are you not going out today either?" He Lele turned her head to ask Ji Jie. "Then help me keep an eye on those two?" She pointed to Ruan Lin and Qin Zhixiu.

"Let them keep an eye on each other! I'll go to Xin× with you." Ji Jie said.

"No need."

"Yes, I will."

"Really no need, who needs someone to accompany them to work."

"Yes, I do."

"..." Mu Wei smiled, raised his phone, aimed it at He Lele and Ji Jie who were arguing, and clicked twice in a row. "You guys continue, I'm practicing."

In the end, the minority followed the majority, and Ji Jie still hugged He Lele and got into Mu Wei's car. There was no help for it; there were no buses here at the apartment, the administrator's car had been sent for inspection, He Lele didn't want to drive Ji Jie and the others' eye-catching luxury cars, and Comrade Ji Jie—we won't even mention him, as his driver's license had been revoked.

"Is your jet lag gone? Starting work so soon?"

Mu Wei looked at the rearview mirror and smiled. "Only by keeping myself busy will I not think about you every moment."

He Lele was speechless. Faced with Mu Wei's cheesy lines that came out of nowhere, she didn't know whether she should be shy or have black lines on her forehead.

Ji Jie rolled his eyes, turned his head, and kissed He Lele's lips. The jealous kiss slowly transitioned from urgency at the beginning to a gentle, lingering suck. He took turns sucking and nibbling on her soft, tender lips, his tongue exploring her mouth to tease the inside of her teeth, occasionally licking her sensitive upper palate, causing her to hum in a ticklish way.

"Hmm, hmm..." He Lele suddenly froze, then slammed her hand against Ji Jie's shoulder until he let go of her lips with a mischievous look.

"You—" Just now his tongue had been moving in and out of her mouth rhythmically, just like—He Lele couldn't say it, she could only glare at Ji Jie in front of her, pouting.

Looking at her flushed little face and her little mouth slightly pouted in anger, this coquettish little look made his desire burn from bottom to top, hot and itchy.

Seeing this, He Lele said, "Ah! I remember now, the day before yesterday—"

A bucket of ice water was poured over his head, freezing Ji Jie's face blue instantly. Mu Wei, who had been smiling faintly, almost slammed on the brakes. After noticing He Lele's expression, Mu Wei asked hesitantly, "Remember what?"

He Lele took out her phone. "The day before yesterday, there was a call from an unknown number. It happened to be when Ruan Lin had his car accident, so I didn't hear what the other person said, and I forgot to call back to ask these past two days."

Clicking on the call log, He Lele just wanted to call back when a call actually came in on her phone, and it was also an unknown number.

"Hello, I am—"

"Sister Lele!"

Writer's note:

I keep thinking about Shentu's side~ which makes me get stuck when writing about the apartment side~~ so today's micro-theater is an interview:

Jiangshan: Mu Wei is back, the apartment will be complete once you're here! Why are you holed up in Muse by yourself?

Shentu Mo: Listening to songs and playing with buttons.

Jiangshan: ...You go ahead and play slowly. Ji Jie, what do you think of your nickname "Ji Jing-ge"?

Ji Jie: Jing-ge?

Jiangshan: Because you're "er" (stupid/silly) horizontally and vertically!

Ji Jie: ...Who are you calling, hori, zontal, and, verti, cally, stupid!

Jiangshan: Lele! I'll tell you a secret! That "concubine" thing is actually—

Ji Jie: Shut up!

☆, (11 Fresh Coins) Chapter 273: One in Ten Thousand

Qingya is here!

Although they hadn't spent much time together last time, the girl's unpretentious innocence and cheerfulness, and her elegant yet natural and generous temperament, made it impossible not to like her. More importantly, Qingya treated her as a friend.

Ever since she received Rong Qingya's call in the morning, He Lele's face had been wearing a smile like a peach blossom in bloom, her eyebrows and the corners of her eyes soft and lovely. The staff at Xin× couldn't help but gather around Ji Jie to tease, "What? Is there a happy event coming up?"

A happy event...

Walking toward the only woman he could see, Ji Jie took the "retro-style" cloth bag from He Lele's shoulder, gently tucked the bangs from her forehead behind her ear, kissed her eyes, and hugged her waist.

If he had taken her away from the apartment immediately after knowing the truth, if he had loved her well from the first moment he saw her, then now, would she have become his wife, accompanying only him every day, looking only at him, smiling only at him, and giving birth to a son like him and a daughter like her for him?

"Lele..."

"Hmm?"

If he spoke now, would there be a one in ten thousand chance—that she would go with him?

"We—"

Ding! The elevator reached the first floor.

"We're here, ah! There's a taxi at the door! Hurry, hurry, hurry!" As soon as He Lele saw someone getting out of a taxi at the door, she hurriedly pulled Ji Jie and ran.

"Heh... good luck. I wonder how Xiu's lunch turned out. Don't make a weird face even if the taste is a bit off later, and don't use words to squeeze him."

"..."

"Hey, Ruan Lin, are you feeling any better? Are you upstairs or downstairs? It's fine, I just wanted you to go down and see how Xiu is doing. I'm in a taxi now, I'll be back soon. Hmm." After ending the call, He Lele immediately dialed another one. "Wei, are you coming back at noon? What about tonight? Hmm, okay, then watch the time."

One after another, the names of the men were called out from her mouth. Ji Jie smiled bitterly, covering the stubborn thought in his heart with a handful of yellow soil.

In this world, there are never any "ifs." The past cannot be turned back, all hope is in the present, and all possibilities are in the future.

As long as he was still by her side, there would always be a chance.

In December, except for Ruan Lin, who was restricted from going out, everyone seemed to have become busy. Qin Zhixiu had to start preparing for the concert tour after the New Year. Ji Jie couldn't leave such matters to second-tier agents, so he naturally had to coordinate the whole thing. The newcomers under him could also take advantage of Qin Zhixiu's concert to get some good training, so things suddenly piled up. Mu Wei's time at the end of the year had long been bought by major magazines, brands, and agencies. When he finally got home, he was always holding a laptop and wearing a Bluetooth headset talking on the phone. Several times, He Lele couldn't even get a word in, and could only watch the coffee go cold before helping him replace it with a new cup.

Ren Lingyu also had constant work, busy with boxed lunches every day. As for Qingya, she was visiting and studying in B City with an exchange group sent by her school, and could only come over on free days.

December 3rd.

Looking at the handsome man with a focused and firm gaze by the sandbag, whose momentum was intimidating when he punched, He Lele just stared blankly. Full of power, firm and tight muscles, broad shoulders, wide chest, wasp waist, narrow hips, the muscle lines stretching and contracting with rhythmic jumping and punching—even from a distance, it felt like she could smell the thick male hormone scent on him.

Since returning to the apartment, she had been sleeping on the third floor with Ruan Lin, but every night he just held her quietly while sleeping. During the day, although others would occasionally be handsy, no one went any further.

"In my memory, my brother has always had a tyrant's temper, unyielding and fearless. I have never seen him like this before—sensitive, fragile, cautious, but also... peaceful. In fact, if I had a choice, I would hope my brother could find someone else to love. Heh... I don't mean anything else, don't overthink it. If you alienate my brother because of my words, he will break my white, beautiful teeth without hesitation. No matter what, things have reached this point. It is a rare luck for a person to meet someone they want no matter what in their life. As for the future... we'll talk about it later."

Ruan Ling had looked for her yesterday. Although he didn't make any demands on her, his worship and care for Ruan Lin permeated every word he said.

Seeing Ruan Lin walking toward her while unwrapping his hand wraps, He Lele got up to offer him a towel and water.

"Ruan Ling's flight is this afternoon, aren't you going to see him off?" she asked. Ruan Ling hadn't come back just to see Ruan Lin this time; he also had to take care of a multinational cooperation project involving B City, S City, and M City. Until today, when he had to return to his country, the brothers hadn't really spent much time together, but that face had stunned those business partners. Upon learning of Ruan Lin's family background, those old foxes in politics and business didn't say anything on the surface, but privately they had people find Wu Ming one by one to discuss endorsements and cooperation, making Ruan Lin even more popular than before his image was damaged!

According to Ruan Lin's wishes, Wu Ming politely declined them all.

"Accompany me?"

"...Okay."

Ruan Lin didn't disguise himself. "I've worn a mask for so many years, I'm tired of it. At least in front of you, I won't have any more disguises, any... deception."

Because of this sentence, she let him carefully dress her up, as if a magician had transformed her. The cold and glamorous yet not vulgar makeup made her almost unable to recognize herself. Chestnut-colored medium-long curly hair, a white and green gradient hollow-out knit sweater, a dark green outer gauze inner velvet ankle-length skirt, high-heeled ankle boots... a style she had never tried before!

Well, she hadn't tried any other style at all.

Knowing that going out with him would inevitably attract attention, but when he held her hand tightly, and his warm, powerful palm wrapped around her cold little hand without leaving a gap—it didn't matter anymore. Even if her body would be tormented by physiological fear, trembling and burning with pain, with this warmth from him on her hand, she had the confidence to endure everyone's gaze.

In the airport VIP lounge, Shentu Mo glanced at the bright red "DELAY" on the electronic screen, his brows furrowed for a moment. His gaze swept over the laptop and document bag on the coffee table, then he thought about the items in his suitcase and his personal belongings, and then went through the itinerary again. Clearly, there were no omissions, so why did he always feel... something was missing?

"Producer Shentu, do you need me to go back and get something?" Lin Qi asked upon seeing this.

"...It's nothing." Shentu Mo closed his laptop and took off his glasses. His gaze inadvertently lingered on the few faint marks on the temple of the glasses, and in his mind, he couldn't help but picture the woman straddling him, her little mouth biting the frame of the glasses as she looked at him with unbearable desire while begging for mercy.

Mr. Shentu...

Mo...

Shentu Mo...

Because I'm stupid! Because I always felt that although you, Shentu Mo, are cold-blooded, you are fair in some aspects! ...I was wrong, I'm very sorry, I misunderstood you.

If you really valued Ji Jie that much, how could you touch the woman he fell in love with? How could a naturally cold-blooded person really have 'friends'?

Heh... go to hell!

Why... did he touch her? Even knowing that Ji Jie had truly fallen in love with her, he still hugged her without hesitation. Why?

Raising his eyes, a touch of green stepped into his line of sight.

Writer's note:

Is it hard to conquer Shentu? Is it really hard? Interested girls can go back and flip through Shentu's scenes~~ Is he really calm, cold-blooded, and cold-hearted from beginning to end? Hehe~~~~~~

Thanks to all the girls for the tickets~ comments~ support, and gifts~~ Love you all!

☆, (12 Fresh Coins) Chapter 274: Don't Make Trouble and You Won't Die

Uncontrollable breathing, irrepressible light trembling. From the moment Ruan Lin held her hand and stepped into the airport, people's curious and envious gazes followed them like shadows. From time to time, low gasps from women reached her ears, but fortunately... no one came forward.

He Lele glanced at Ruan Lin beside her. Through the dark brown lenses, his perfect, magnificent, handsome face had a cold, firm, and resolute expression, his tall and straight body was majestic, and the black hair on his clean forehead was all combed back. He was so rebellious and domineering that men instinctively lowered their heads to avoid him, and women felt their hearts tremble and suffocate.

Taking off the mask of the gentle movie king, his lethality to women had only increased!

Feeling her gaze, Ruan Lin softened his eyebrows, turned his head, and curved his lips at her. His sexy, full lips made it almost impossible for people to look away.
