To protect her billion-dollar fortune, the newly widowed Su Jin is forced to get married again.
After the wedding, the two agreed not to interfere with each other and not to affect each other...
Su Jin stayed at the Zheng family's house for a week. Seeing that Zheng Lin's condition had improved and the film crew needed to continue shooting, she bought a plane ticket to fly away.
Before leaving, she glanced at the taciturn Zheng Lin, thought for a moment, and asked him, "Want to come along?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Lin's heart was stirred, but his face remained calm.
He paused for three seconds before answering "okay".
He didn't seem too happy, so Su Jin wasn't sure and continued to ask, "If you don't want to go, you don't have to force yourself. I'm just worried you'll be bored at home, so I'll go first. Try to keep a cheerful mood."
Su Jin had no idea what Zheng Lin was thinking. She had only taken two steps forward when she heard a "smack".
Looking back, Su Jin saw Zheng Lin sitting on the ground, the glass of the photo frame shattered. He looked as if he might get hurt at any moment, which made Su Jin's heart clench.
Now that the child's misunderstanding has been cleared up, Su Jin no longer closes her heart and no longer hides her concern.
She went over and helped Zheng Lin up, asking, "Why are you sitting on the ground again?"
"I accidentally fell, but I'm fine." Zheng Lin's tone was very calm, but he felt disgusted by it. He felt like a male version of a white lotus flower.
Actually, he did all this just to get Xiao Jin back by his side.
You could say he's ruthless, but he doesn't care.
When Su Jin saw Zheng Lin's eyes, her heart was struck hard. She realized that going out to film was a terrible mistake.
However, she only doubted herself for a second before asking again, "Why don't you stay by my side, but when I go to film, you'll be alone most of the time?"
"Don't worry about me. If it's really inconvenient for you to bring me along, that's fine. I understand."
Su Jin: "It's not that I can't take you, I just thought you didn't want to go. Since you want to go, let's go."
......
The director had just recovered and been discharged from the hospital, and was thinking of speeding up the filming schedule, but before filming began, he saw Zheng Shao, the "bully" on set back then.
The director has seen the rumors from a while ago. Su Ling and Zheng Shao got their marriage certificate. Usually, these kinds of rumors are true.
So the director called over a few of the lead actors to discuss the scenes, focusing particularly on the female lead's roles and even personally giving her guidance.
“Wait, that kissing scene was a bit unnecessary. Su Ling, when you enter the valley and see the male lead injured, just… take a few more glances and let that feeling of love at first sight come out naturally.”
"Audiences have gotten tired of kissing scenes these past few years; this more artistic form is more eye-catching."
Su Jin: "..." Why does this sound so familiar?
Then her gaze fell on Zheng Lin, who was sitting there basking in the sun, and she remembered that the creator of the "love at first sight" phenomenon... was Zheng Lin.
Su Jin felt a headache coming on. In her previous drama, because there wasn't a single kissing scene or even a single intimate physical contact, netizens said that she had a powerful backer.
That was actually quite accurate.
However, this powerful figure didn't actually support her; instead, he ruined her career. She herself didn't mind filming those scenes; it was the powerful figure, Zheng Lin, who meddled in her affairs.
After the photoshoot, Song Leilei's assistant served everyone milk tea, one cup for each person, to celebrate her contract termination.
Song Leilei personally handed the milk tea to Zheng Lin to express her gratitude, "Young Master Zheng, thank you so much. Because of your help, I didn't have to give Gao Wei a single penny. This feeling is just too good!"
"Pay close attention to the terms when signing contracts in the future." Zheng Lin took the milk tea but didn't drink it.
He doesn't like drinking this kind of stuff, but if he just throws it away, Su Jin will get angry.
To show his respect for Su Jin's best friend, he had to keep it and then secretly give it to Assistant Gao to destroy the evidence when no one was watching.
"Young Master Zheng, why aren't you drinking?" Song Leilei asked.
Su Jin stuck the straw into the milk tea, then without asking any questions, shoved the straw into Zheng Lin's mouth and took the cup with the straw from Zheng Lin's hand.
"He's probably a little embarrassed."
Su Jin glanced at Song Leilei's phone screen, and the two began a heated discussion about the dress that had been sent to them.
Su Jin would glance at Zheng Lin every now and then, making it hard for Zheng Lin to resist taking a few sips. He could only grit his teeth and drink the milk tea.
Assistant Gao watched from the side, feeling that his boss was making things difficult for him. Someone who didn't like sweets was forced to drink a whole cup of super sweet milk tea in one go. It was like Assistant Gao himself didn't drink iced Americano; this kind of coffee was torture for him, and he thought it was worse than drinking Chinese medicine.
Assistant Gao shook her head and thought to herself: It's all because of love.
I wonder how long the boss will keep faking illness.
Seeing the boss's nauseous expression, Assistant Gao quickly took out tissues and waited by his side.
"Let's choose this one then. You'll outshine everyone else." Su Jin and Song Leilei finally decided on their dresses.
Song Leilei glanced at Zheng Lin, who was sitting there slowly sipping his milk tea, and said to Su Jin, "You brought Young Master Zheng to the set this time, which undoubtedly confirms the previous rumors that you were already married. So... you two have reconciled and want to go public?"
"Anyway, everyone will find out sooner or later, so there's no point in hiding it," Su Jin said. "I plan to let nature take its course. If the paparazzi take pictures, I'll admit it; if not, I'll wait for next time."
Song Leilei: "What are you going to do about Young Master Zheng and his fiancée?"
Su Jin reiterated her stance: "Let nature take its course."
Song Leilei: "......"
"You have such a big vision. If it were me, I could never just let things take their course. I would have already torn my fiancée apart. You are clearly the legal wife. This engagement is just a way for them to humiliate you."
Song Leilei is very straightforward. She is grateful to Zheng Lin for helping her win the lawsuit, but that doesn't stop her from cursing him. "He really is, to be frank, a scumbag when it comes to relationships."
Su Jin frowned, recalling the past, and defended him, saying, "He's not what you think."
"Oh my god, are you out of your mind because of love? I always thought you were very clear-headed. You two are not even divorced yet, and he is already getting engaged to someone else in a high-profile manner. Calling him a scumbag is too lenient a statement."
"I don't think he's a scumbag. At most, he's behaving like an elementary school student," Su Jin said, revealing the truth.
Having gone through this together, and considering the time they spent together this week, she was certain that the word "scumbag" did not apply to Zheng Lin.
Song Leilei: "I didn't understand."
“It’s okay if you don’t understand, I understand myself.” Su Jin heard the music from the video call, glanced at Xu Jingzhi’s profile picture on Song Leilei’s phone screen, and said with a smirk, “You don’t understand what you should understand.”
Su Jin was referring to the emotional entanglement between Song Leilei and Xu Jingzhi, clearly indicating that Song Leilei didn't even understand her own feelings.
