Jian Ruoxi came to Huarui, wanting to tell Ran Jie about what happened yesterday, and happened to run into her assistant who had just come out of the office.
"How is Ran Jie's mood today?" She was afraid that she might add fuel to the fire.
"Ran Jie looked at the current development data of all the artists today, and they are all developing in a positive direction."
When Ran Jie came out just now, he had a smile on his face.
"That's fine then."
At least when Ran Jie loses his temper, he won't be punished for multiple offenses at once.
"I'll go in and take a look."
Regardless of what the future holds, she still needs to give Ran Jie a heads-up.
The assistant suddenly remembered that there was another guest in Ran Jie's office, and he had instructed that no one should disturb him.
Just as he was about to call out to Jian Ruoxi, he realized it was too late.
"I'd better slip away quickly. I'm sure Sister Ruoxi can take responsibility for offending such a distinguished guest on her own."
When Jian Ruoxi entered, she noticed that Ran Jie's gaze was fixed on the window.
"What's going on over there?" She made a move to walk over there.
"Ahem!" Ran Jie coughed, signaling her to come back.
A fleeting look of unease crossed his face.
What brings you here?
It would be best to let Jian Ruoxi finish speaking and leave as soon as possible, in case she finds out that person is with him.
His office could easily turn into a battlefield.
"If you want to talk about yesterday's variety show recording, there's no need to report it; the director has already told me."
Because Hua Rui had some things to do yesterday, he couldn't be there on time, so he asked the director to tell him about the artists' situation after the recording.
The director's evaluation of Su Ziyu was quite neutral, but to his surprise, the director spoke highly of Jian Ruoxi.
"You performed well during the recording, so I don't think I'll need to be there in person for the later recordings."
Jian Ruoxi forced a smile. "The recording itself is fine, but the problem lies elsewhere."
Ran Jie casually leaned back in his office chair, gesturing for her to continue.
"As long as nothing major happens during the recording, everything else can be resolved."
Jian Ruoxi immediately became incredibly excited, as if she had been injected with adrenaline. "You said it yourself. You're my manager, you can't just ignore me."
Upon hearing her words, Ran Jie's face showed panic.
Why does he feel like there's a trap in what he's saying?
"Wait, did you get into trouble?"
Ran Jie could only think of one reason why Jian Ruoxi would speak to him so in a fawning manner.
Jian Ruoxi lowered her head and rubbed her fingers together, her voice low.
“Yesterday, some celebrities found out that I am pregnant.”
Ran Jieteng stood up abruptly, knocking over the chair in the process.
"What! Jian Ruoxi, aren't you usually the most careful? How could someone have found out?"
"Which artist? I'll call them myself to negotiate."
She had guessed that Ran Jie would react this way.
Jian Ruoxi shakily held up three fingers and gave Ran Jie an awkward smile.
"Not one, to be precise, three."
"You!" Ran Jie pointed at Jian Ruoxi's nose, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
If I were to suddenly have a heart attack one day, it would definitely be because of Jian Ruoxi's anger.
His gaze drifted back to behind the curtains, and he finally lowered his hand reluctantly.
"Jian Ruoxi, let me give you a piece of advice: why don't you just retire from the entertainment industry?"
Given the extent of her exposure, it won't be long before the news of the rising star's unexpected pregnancy becomes known throughout the internet.
That would be a huge blow to Jian Ruoxi.
Rather than being forced to leave the industry later, it's better to quit now.
"Impossible!" Jian Ruoxi refused without even thinking.
Acting has become almost a part of her body, and she will never give it up no matter what.
"Ran Jie, I came to see you today hoping you can start public relations preparations for this matter as soon as possible."
She herself knew very well that paper could not keep fire.
Having chosen to embark on this arduous path, she must be prepared for the battles to come.
"Okay, I can agree to that, but I still need to make things clear to you beforehand."
"Even if I use all of Huarui's resources, I still cannot make you escape unscathed."
Jian Ruoxi nodded; she understood everything Ran Jie had said.
"It's okay, I can handle the rest myself."
Having received a definitive answer from Ran Jie, her task for the day was considered complete.
"Okay, you can continue with your work. I'll head back now."
Just as she was leaving, Ran Jie suddenly called her back.
"Ruoxi, you should know better than I do that there is a simpler way that will cause the least harm to you and the baby in your womb."
“Even if you are no longer husband and wife, he is still the father of the child, and I believe he will not stand idly by.”
Ran Jie speaking up for Lu Shen surprised Jian Ruoxi somewhat.
She remembered that at the beginning, weren't the two of them mortal enemies?
Lu Shen still wanted to teach him a lesson on behalf of Xiao Jin.
Jian Ruoxi chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Ran Jie, what you're saying is quite contradictory."
“Since he is not my husband, he is naturally not the father of the child in my womb.”
"What happens to my son and me is none of his business."
After saying that, Jian Ruoxi walked out of Ran Jie's office without looking back.
"You heard everything, didn't you?"
A person slowly walked out from behind the curtains.
Lu Shen happened to be on a business trip today and passed by Hua Rui. He wanted to personally find Ran Jie to find out about Jian Ruoxi's current situation.
Unexpectedly, I overheard this conversation.
"Of course, weren't those questions you asked meant for me to hear them?"
Ran Jie enjoys talking to intelligent people because it saves him a lot of trouble.
"Even so, please, Mr. Lu, stop bothering my artists in the future."
“Our artists cannot afford to be associated with the young master of the Lu Group.”
Having known Jian Ruoxi for so long, he knew all too well how difficult things had been for her.
He didn't want this divorced woman to go through any more trouble.
Lu Shen gave Ran Jie a cold look. "Hua Rui's top agent, are you addicted to managing people?"
"Since I've decided to get entangled with her, I'll naturally protect her well."
"You don't need to worry about that."
Even if everyone finds out that Ruoxi is pregnant in the end, so what?
With him around, no one can hurt her.
"Did you ask Ruoxi if she wanted this before you did it?"
According to his observation, Jian Ruoxi seemed to feel more hatred towards Lu Shen.
As for whether there is still love, he can't tell.
“I know that Young Master Lu is ruthless and does not allow others to refuse, but Ruoxi has already been hurt by you once.”
He heard a lot from Lu Jin about Jian Ruoxi's past in the Lu family.
It hasn't been easy for Ruoxi to get to where she is now.
"Don't worry, I won't force her to do anything right now."
"Like I said, she doesn't need to know about my conversations with you or the things I've done."
His atonement was not intended to burden her.
