Chapter 122: It's best to stay ice‑cold no matter what you do!

Evening.

Si Ling left.

Only Jiang Cheng and Su Manyao remained at home.

It was another two-person world.

The two sat on the sofa, Su Manyao wearing pajamas, a pair of snow‑white, long, beautiful legs stretched out and placed on the coffee table, flawless long legs, like an artistic decoration set in the living room.

Jiang Cheng sat beside her, indulging in the view; it's no wonder the many students of Modu Daxue idolize Su Manyao like a goddess, for this woman is truly too beautiful.

My dream lover isn't her; compared to others, it's embarrassing, it's basically a meaningless dream!

She has an otherworldly aura, with a breath that seems untouched by mortal life.

It's as if she has never been defiled by a man, and never will be.

Jiang Cheng shifted his butt over, then shifted again.

Finally, he sat next to Su Manyao, and his shoulder tentatively brushed against hers.

Seeing Su Manyao's lack of reaction, Jiang Cheng grew bolder.

If it were usual at this time, Jiang Cheng would have no hesitation at all, already having embraced Yujie in his arms.

But today, for some reason, Yujie seemed a bit cold

It's not that she looks cold; she really is cold!

It's as if in the next second she could freeze someone to death.

Yujie is angry!

Jiang Cheng also couldn't figure out why Yujie, who was fine, suddenly had anger.

Could it really be because Si Ling overused Yujie's skincare products, making Yujie angry?

According to normal logic, Jiang Cheng thought it shouldn't be that, but women often are like this, unfathomable.

Jiang Cheng thought maybe women regard their skincare products as very important, giving them a special feeling, not liking others to touch them, just like they wouldn't like others using their man.

But that was Si Ling using them, which has little to do with him.

So Jiang Cheng raised his arm and rested it on the back of the sofa behind Yujie.

Then his two fingers moved like they were walking on the sofa, pulling his arm to rest fully on it, then contracting a little, which would allow him to embrace Yujie.

Jiang Cheng's arm slowly contracted.

Just as Jiang Cheng's hand grasped Yujie's shoulder, she, who had been motionless as if acquiescing, suddenly shoved him over.

Her face icy, she shouted angrily:

"You are not allowed to touch me again!"

Jiang Cheng:???

Wasn't she just fine a moment ago?

What's going on?

Jiang Cheng, flipped onto the sofa, asked with a bewildered face: "What did I do?"

"I didn't do anything!"

"You didn't do anything?"

Su Manyao pulled her legs back to the floor, turned her body, placed her hands on either side of Jiang Cheng's torso, leaned slightly forward, her face drawing closer to his, and stared at him as she said:

"You didn't do anything?"

Jiang Cheng thought back, wondering what he had done.

Someone added contact information downstairs?

That was also Si Ling forcing the addition, and Su Manyao doesn't know about it at all, and he couldn't possibly say it.

Jiang Cheng still clearly understood the consequences of confessing.

Thus, he confidently met Su Manyao's eyes and said, "You say what I did!"

Is being pretty that impressive?

Can long legs justify framing someone?

Can nice feet justify being unreasonable?

Good to eat, eh.

Su Manyao looked at Jiang Cheng with an icy gaze, her voice sounding like it had a frost effect, and said:

"Figure out what you did yourself!"

After saying that, she sat with her arms crossed, leaning against the sofa, looking at the TV with a puffed‑up angry expression.

Jiang Cheng:.

Well, if I can't provoke her, can I at least avoid her?

Maybe women just have a few days like that each month.

Jiang Cheng sat properly leaning on the sofa armrest, deciding to ignore Yujie.

Utterly baffling!

Not long after, Yujie turned her head, looked at Jiang Cheng, and asked coldly:

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Cheng, without thinking, replied, "Not doing anything!" Su Manyao:

"I'm asking what you're doing."

"I'm watching TV."

"Why don't you come cheer me up?"

Jiang Cheng:???

Isn't it that Yujie started studying online?

Is this something she would say?

Jiang Cheng looked at Su Manyao; Su Manyao met Jiang Cheng's gaze for a second, then turned her face away, her earlobes slightly red.

Du Lulu. Du Lulu.

Just then, Jiang Cheng's phone rang.

Su Manyao sat beside him, her big eyes glancing toward Jiang Cheng, but she didn't turn her head.

Seeing Jiang Cheng's incoming call display show Wang Weiqiang's name, Su Manyao's eyes flickered.

Wang Weiqiang is a well-known director in the industry, especially in the past two years, having released several highly acclaimed works.

But more importantly, Wang Weiqiang is someone from her company, or in other words, her employee.

The good works Wang Weiqiang has filmed in the past two years all belong to her company.

!

Have Jiang Cheng and Wang Weiqiang teamed up?

Su Manyao became curious.

"Director Wang, hello, is there something you need?"

Hmm, tomorrow can be okay. Alright, you're hungry, bring it along, good.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now."

Jiang Cheng and Wang Weiqiang communicated for only a short time, then hung up the phone.

Just moments ago, still angry and ignoring Jiang Cheng, Su Manyao curiously asked:

"What's wrong? Is it something work-related?"

Hearing Yujie's voice soften, Jiang Cheng put down his phone, sat down beside her, and said:

"Yeah, a director has invited me to visit the set tomorrow."

"You want to act in a film?" Su Manyao asked curiously.

Jiang Cheng looked at Yujie's curious expression, draped an arm over her, placing it on the back of the sofa behind her, and then said:

"No, I couldn't act; he wants to collaborate with me, using my script to make a movie."

Su Manyao turned her head; since they were already close, this turn brought their faces almost together.

"Wow, you're so amazing."

Su Manyao said.

Jiang Cheng felt a warm wave brush his face, accompanied by a faint fragrance.

Although Su Manyao's words sounded like praise, her tone was flat, devoid of any feeling, icy cold; if not for hearing what she said, just listening to her tone, one might think she was mentioning something trivial.

But Jiang Cheng didn't care at all; that's just how the aloof Yujie is—he likes that icy cold vibe!

It's that whenever doing anything, she must be high and mighty, icy cold like a queen!

That's exactly the flavor we want!

He gently pulled, his hand gripping Yujie's shoulder, drawing her tighter into his embrace, and said:

"Of course, my script is definitely awesome."

Jiang Cheng boasted with his mouth, but his hands were not honest.

I don't know if Yujie was drawn in by his bragging, but this time she didn't push him away.

Being held in his arms, she asked: "Then what?"

"Then he said he invited me to visit the set tomorrow, and there happens to be an investor coming by; if the investor takes notice, we can avoid many detours, and with funding we can shoot smoothly."

Jiang Cheng was bragging.

Su Manyao said: "I want to go too."

Jiang Cheng:

He looked at Yujie, somewhat assuming.

When did Yujie start caring about my work issues?

"Good." Jiang Cheng said.

Then he puckered his lips and kissed Su Manyao's cheek.
