When Wu Yue saw Cheng Pingxi's reply of "Is that so?", all she felt was a strong sense of mockery. She couldn't detect a single trace of sincerity in Cheng Pingxi's attempt to engage in conversation.
Smooth Sailing: Xiao Xi, my sister's vacation is coming up soon. When do you have time? How about we arrange a family trip?
dad!!!
I don't want to go, so please don't consider me!
I'll have my agent arrange it. We can postpone the dinner; I'll try to make time for it.
Peace and Joy: It's so wonderful that our family can be reunited again. (＊＞︶＜＊) Ah, Mom is so happy~
Smooth sailing: Do you have enough money? Dad will go and prepare a few more cards for you.
Thank you for your kindness, but I have enough money to live on.
At this moment, Wu Yue wanted nothing more than to rush over, shake Wu Juemin's shoulders angrily, and shout, "Dad, wake up! Wake up! Please show some dignity as a strict father! Huh!"
Yan Chiyu across the table: "..."
Why do you have such a ferocious expression?
Wu Yue gritted her teeth and said in a strained voice, "Jealousy has made me unrecognizable."
Yan Chiyu was stunned, not reacting for a moment: "What?"
"poverty."
The girl angrily slammed her hand on the dining table.
"..."
The young man casually rested his chin on his hand, his eyes flashing with a hint of understanding. The corners of his lips turned up slightly, each curve of his smile carrying a captivating allure, and his cool voice exuded an air of supreme elegance.
“I have a friend whose tears are worth a fortune. If you want to escape poverty, I’ll take you to meet her.”
The girl, her forehead flushed, slowly raised her head, glancing at him sideways with her cheek slightly turned: "I smell a conspiracy."
Yan Chiyu smiled gently and remained silent.
At this moment, the waiter came forward with the drinks and politely interrupted, saying, "Excuse me for interrupting, but these are your drinks. They taste best if consumed within an hour."
"Thanks."
The girl suddenly smiled, leaned forward, and said softly in a drawn-out tone, "However, I am very interested."
The boy gently patted his face with his fingers, his eyes half-closed, a slight smile playing on his lips. "I'll ask you out later."
-
Time flies, and it's the weekend again.
Wu Yue finished two days' worth of homework in one morning, and in the afternoon, her mother invited her to go shopping for clothes, thus wasting away her daytime.
[System Notification: Please complete the mission as soon as possible. Hidden mission time remaining: 12 hours]
After having dinner, she stuffed two apples into her bag before leisurely heading out to catch the fugitive.
...
...
As night falls and the sky gradually turns inky blue, red lights and green bars peek out, gazing into the darkness.
Sitting in the van, Song Congbo kept calling his sponsors to apologize: "I'm so sorry, Pingxi suddenly caught a cold and can't go to the show tonight. I'm really sorry. Do you want compensation or..."
"Yes, yes, yes, let's reschedule the interview. Thank you for your help."
"Hello, this is Kashiwa Entertainment..."
"Yes, yes, we'll take full responsibility. Of course, of course..."
After reassuring several partners, Song Congbo collapsed back, exhausted. He pinched his brow slightly with two fingers and asked Cheng Pingxi's assistant beside him, "Did the call go through?"
"No, Brother Cheng's phone is off, he hasn't answered."
"Go to where he lives and find him."
"Brother Song, which one are you referring to? Brother Cheng has two residences..."
"It's Saturday today, and he always goes to that incredibly far-away villa he just bought. I'm on my way there."
"Yes," the assistant replied, then called to the driver, "Old Wang, to the Oridi Palace."
