Chapter 292

Whether it was Mu Wei or Ji Jie, when they came, she reached out her hand; when they left, she did not hold them back.

No responsibility, no obligation, no one owes anyone anything, not touching upon family or marriage. When they get tired of her, she can still live independently and happily on her own. And, it counts as having been loved.

Nothing to regret.

November 15th, sunny, the sky was clear as if washed, Monday.

Ruan Lin appeared at Xin×, wearing a chic hat to half-cover the gauze on his head. Seeing him show up with injuries, everyone immediately threw their complaints from yesterday to the back of their minds, offering concerned greetings amidst his polite and gentlemanly smile. Of course, "everyone" did not include the indifferent Ji Jie and the mentally exhausted He Lele.

Throughout the day, Ruan Lin acted as if he didn't know the two of them, not even sparing them a glance.

Author's Note:

I had already written more than half of 244 and wanted to finish it before posting, but when I got to the end, it didn't feel right~~ I had to scrap it and rewrite~~ So there are only two chapters today~~ Group pressure!!!

☆, (8 Fresh Coins) Chapter 244: Ji Jie Drunk

"Isn't it rumored that Ruan Lin has a very good temper? He doesn't look like it!"

"Probably in a bad mood because of a headache."

"Oh, oh! That's right!"

In the corridor, two staff members chatted casually as they walked.

He Lele's heart stirred slightly. She glanced at their backs and continued toward the conference room.

After a brief meeting, Cai Mingxiao invited the voice actors to dinner. Just as the voice actors revealed smiles and wanted to respond, they heard Ruan Lin's highly recognizable, sexy voice say somewhat coldly and distantly:

"Sorry, I don't like socializing. If there are no other work arrangements, I'll take my leave first."

It was still a gentlemanly and polite demeanor, but what was clearly different from last time was the cold, arrogant expression on his face, like a medieval aristocrat! The same smile actually gave people a strange feeling of ice and fire...

The scene turned cold instantly, and the voice actors watched silently as Ruan Lin left accompanied by his assistant.

"Seeing is believing, indeed..." a male voice actor said with dramatic flair.

"Yeah, a big star, as expected."

"Alright, who doesn't have a mood swing? Boss Cai, Ruan Lin isn't going, you're not going to cancel the invitation, right?"

"Invite! Of course, invite!"

The meal was very casual, but everyone's topic easily circled back to Ruan Lin. His mysterious family background, his classic image, his countless positive rumors—but since hearing is false and seeing is believing, his cold and hard attitude all day today made people doubt whether his previous image was the result of Muse's deliberate packaging.

"Aren't all stars two-faced? He's got the status, fame, and money, and his acting is indeed there. That's enough."

"That's true! Drink, drink! Handsome Ji, come on!"

Ji Jie, who was handsome and romantic on the outside, articulate, and outstanding in ability, was naturally the focus of everyone's attention and the target for drinking. Plus, he blocked all the drinks others offered to He Lele, so as he drank, he, who was usually immune to a thousand cups, started to feel dizzy. Once everyone saw his high tolerance, they took turns with red wine, foreign liquor, and white spirits, determined not to stop until he was down.

"Ji Jie... are you okay?" He Lele asked with some concern.

Ji Jie turned his face slightly, leaned close to her ear, and smiled ambiguously. "As long as you want it, I'm okay anytime."

"You!"

Hearing this, everyone started to jeer. A bold female voice actor even shouted "Ah... I want..." in an extremely lustful way, making He Lele blush all over. But the sight of her lowering her head with a red face and looking shy made Ji Jie even more excited to drink with everyone.

In the end?

In the end, of course, everyone was down; almost all the voice actors who didn't have tasks the next day were passed out. It was clear that this was indeed a group of very simple and straightforward people.

"Hehehehe... Lele, Ji Jie is a good guy! The kid is not bad!" The bold female voice actor hung half-heartedly on He Lele, speaking drunkenly. "I approve of him!" After saying that, she went limp and collapsed.

"Lele, Lele... why do you have a beard?" Ji Jie hugged an uncle's shoulder, his drunken eyes bleary.

He Lele shook her head helplessly and used all her strength to drag Ji Jie into a taxi. But when they reached the entrance of the residential complex, the driver refused to drive in no matter what, so she had to drag Ji Jie out again, walking two steps and resting, walking two steps and resting, walking two steps—"Ugh..."

Ji Jie vomited all over half of her body.

"Let me." A soft, pleasant voice.

With a lightness on her shoulder, He Lele turned her head to look; Ji Jie had already been hoisted onto Li Yiquan's shoulder.

"Let's go."

"... Thank you." Only thanks could be said.

Back at the rental, Li Yiquan dumped Ji Jie onto the sofa without ceremony, his brow furrowed with faint anger.

"Thank you, L, for, for causing you trouble." ===== CHAPTER 293 =====
