Chapter 98

He Lele carried the egg fried rice and... a box of ice cream, looking back at the triumphant-looking Ji Jie.

"Go ahead. Ever since I was a kid, this is the trick I've used every time I've made him angry; it works every time. But don't tell anyone! *Cough, cough*... It ruins his 'Iceberg Producer Shentu' image."

"……Thank you." Whether it was effective or not, she accepted his favor.

Ji Jie's smile gradually faded, "……Yesterday, I……"

He Lele turned around upon hearing this, "You didn't do anything wrong, it was my reaction that was too intense... I'm sorry, I, I hit you." No matter how she felt, or how insulted she felt, the positions she and this man held determined—she had no right to hold him accountable in the first place.

"Uh……" Being apologized to so solemnly by a woman for the first time, and on the premise that he had bullied her, Ji Jie, who considered himself a protector of the fair sex, only felt uncomfortable all over, "Then... let's just pretend I never said that and you never hit me, okay?"

"……Mm." For the first time, He Lele faced Ji Jie and smiled easily and elegantly.

Looking at this fresh, flower-like woman looking so defenseless, Ji Jie found his heart itching again, and he leaned down to her ear.

"But there is one thing I still have to say—" He kissed her earlobe lightly, "Your voice is beautiful, at any time."

If her personality wasn't unsuitable, he would have considered signing her.

One minute later.

Producer Shentu Mo looked at the ice cream and egg fried rice on the tray, then raised his eyes to look at He Lele.

"Ji Jie taught you this?"

☆, (9 Fresh Coins) Chapter 99: Unexpected

"I, I'm sorry, I didn't make enough dumplings..."

"……You made them yourself?" Producer Shentu Mo felt slightly surprised.

He Lele nodded. Was he expecting her to buy frozen ones to fry?

"I will make more tomorrow, you..." He Lele stopped herself. What was the point of making more tomorrow when he wanted to eat them today? "……I'm sorry."

Producer Shentu Mo lowered his eyes to look at the ice cream, then suddenly reached out to spin the ice cream box.

Seeing that it was already past eight o'clock, He Lele's heart couldn't help but beat faster and faster, and then... she hallucinated—

She actually saw Producer Shentu Mo smile.

It wasn't a cruel cold laugh, not a mocking sneer, it was just... a smile. A simple, pleasant, shallow smile that bloomed bit by bit from his pursed lips, like a soft pink petal from spring drifting onto frozen water; the ice surface slowly melted, and the petal swayed gently with it... The gradually spreading smile even seemed to carry some nostalgia.

He Lele's heart, which had been extremely tense, actually calmed down in this faint smile.

Usually, Producer Shentu Mo's cold and noble temperament always put huge pressure on people, and that deep sense of distance often made people afraid to look directly at his face. Even though that face had a sharp, knife-like handsomeness, if one wasn't a woman with super-strong self-confidence, one would probably never dare to have any covetous thoughts when facing him.

But now, this demon on the iceberg actually... actually revealed such a light and charming smile!

"I don't like sweets." Producer Shentu Mo glanced at He Lele and smiled lightly. While saying this, he opened the ice cream lid and picked up the small spoon.

Seeing his action, He Lele was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward to take the ice cream away.

"Uh—it's not very good to eat on an empty stomach, I'll put it in the fridge for you first, you can eat it after you finish your meal... Is, is that okay?"

Producer Shentu Mo tilted his head slightly and stared at her overly honest little face for a long time before chuckling and handing the small spoon in his hand to her.

"Okay, I'll eat it later."
