Overindulging in pleasure, Fu Shiqin unsurprisingly missed his work hours and slept until the middle of the night.

In a daze, he felt an emptiness in his arms. He reached out and touched the bed, only to find that his girlfriend, whom he had been holding, was gone. He immediately sat up in shock.

He put on his clothes and went outside, where he found that Ling Jiao had already prepared lunch.

Why didn't you wake me up when you woke up?

"I didn't need to call you for anything." Ling Jiao set out the bowls and chopsticks and said, "Wash your face and eat. I'm going to the airport."

Fu Shiqin was taken aback. He felt that she was acting strangely today, not as gentle and enthusiastic as she had been last night.

"Can't I take two more days off?"

Having finally established a relationship, of course I want to spend a couple more days together.

"No." Ling Jiao shook her head firmly.

Fu Shiqin washed his face and came back to have lunch with them.

"I'm going to Switzerland in a few days for my brother's wedding. I guess I'll have to come back and settle into my work before I'll have time to visit the film set."

"No need, I have an agent and assistant to take care of me, I'm doing fine on set," Ling Jiao said with a smile.

Fu Shiqin, biting his chopsticks, stared at the person sitting opposite him and tentatively asked.

"Jiaojiao, are you angry because I overslept?"

“No.” Ling Jiao looked at him strangely.

"So... was my performance last night unsatisfactory to you?" Fu Shiqin asked in a low voice.

Ling Jiao choked on a mouthful of rice, took a sip of water, swallowed it, and said.

"Just eat, why are you driving recklessly?"

“Then you…” Fu Shiqin stared at her and said, “Your attitude towards me today is completely different from your attitude towards me last night.”

Not only her facial expressions and tone of voice, but also the way she looked at him seemed distant, just like before.

"Really?" Ling Jiao chuckled, burying her head in her meal.

Fu Shiqin was in a state of turmoil, but he couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

After the two finished their meal, while Ling Jiao was tidying up, he quickly went back to his room to change his clothes and then came out to speak.

"What time is your flight? I'll take you to the airport first."

Ling Jiao sat at the dining table, her face serious and solemn.

"Fu Shiqin, let's talk."

Fu Shiqin sat down and made a joke.

"I don't talk about anything other than dating."

Ling Jiao pursed her lips and looked at him, then opened the box on the table and took out the items one by one.

"This is the car you gave me before; I've only driven it a few times."

"This is the money you used to treat the crew to meals for me before. I've put it all in this card."

"I've never worn any of these pieces of jewelry; they're all brand new."

...

The smile on Fu Shiqin's face slowly disappeared, and his expression grew increasingly somber.

"Ling Jiao, what do you mean?"

Ling Jiao checked everything and looked at him intently as she spoke.

"Fu Shiqin, let's end things between us..."

"End?" Fu Shiqin looked at the cold-hearted man in disbelief and asked, "We were making love in bed last night, and now you want to end things with me?"

Was the wonderful experience of last night just a dream, or was everything before his eyes a dream?

“There are some things I cannot repay, and the only thing I can give back is my body,” Ling Jiao said calmly, her eyes lowered.

Fu Shiqin stared sharply at the person opposite him. "Last night in the projection room, you said you understood what I meant. Is this what you call understanding?"

He thought she understood; she understood his uncontrollable love for her; she understood how much he liked her.

That's why I was so gentle with her last night.

In the end, all that tenderness and affection last night was just to get rid of him.

"Our relationship should end," Ling Jiao said slowly, trying to control her emotions. "You should also go find the girl you have a crush on."

Fu Shiqin: "From beginning to end, you're the only one I've ever openly and secretly loved. Who else do you expect me to go to?!"
