The meal lasted two hours. As they left the restaurant, Fu Shiqin asked...
"Where do you live?"
"The hotel, my assistant is still over there." Fu Shiyi lied to make it seem like he was really just here for work and happened to be visiting them.
If Fu Shiqin knew that he had come specifically to see him, he would definitely suspect his motives.
Fu Shiqin got into the car, and Ling Jiao sat in the passenger seat.
"Get in the car, we'll take you to your hotel first."
Fu Shiyi got into the car and sat in the back. He chatted with Ding Dongdong on his phone for a few minutes, and then suddenly said something.
"Second sister-in-law, haven't we exchanged contact information yet?"
"Does Ding Dongdong know you're exchanging contact information with other women?" Fu Shiqin reminded her irritably as he drove.
As Fu Shiyi leaned forward to add Ling Jiao on WeChat, he retorted.
"What do you mean by other women? Isn't this my future sister-in-law?"
It's one thing to be wary of other men, but to be wary of him too? Are you kidding me?
Ling Jiao thought for a moment, then took out her phone from her bag and added Fu Shiyi on WeChat.
After adding him, Fu Shiyi immediately spoke on WeChat.
[I'll leave the matter of getting him back to work to you.]
Ling Jiao simply sent an OK emoji, put her phone back in her bag without changing her expression, and secretly pondered how to persuade Fu Shiqin to go back without making him suspect that Fu Shiyi had asked her to.
Fu Shiqin first took Fu Shiyi to his hotel, and then drove Ling Jiao back to their hotel.
Ling Jiao went back and, as usual, first washed up, then put on a face mask before memorizing her lines for tomorrow.
Fu Shiqin also took a shower, changed into his pajamas, and came out to reply to a few work emails on his laptop.
Although Ling Jiao was reading the script, she wasn't paying much attention to memorizing the lines. Instead, she was thinking about how to help Fu Shiqin get back to the capital.
"Young Master Fu, when are you planning to return to the capital?"
"When you go back, that's when I'll go back," Fu Shiqin said directly.
Ling Jiao checked the time, removed the face mask, and said while massaging her face.
"Actually, you've spent quite a bit of time with me already. It's not good for you to stay here all the time, is it?"
"Did Fu Shiyi say something to you?" Fu Shiqin asked warily.
In the afternoon, Fu Shiyi had been subtly urging him to go back, and now she was also persuading him to go back. He couldn't help but wonder if Fu Shiyi had said something.
Ling Jiao, being an actress, remained completely expressionless as she massaged her face, which still retained some of the mask's essence, in front of the mirror as she spoke.
“I just feel that by doing nothing and just sitting here with me all day, you have completely lost the demeanor of a business elite.”
"The aura of a business elite?" Fu Shiqin raised an eyebrow.
Ling Jiao glanced at him, as if recalling something.
"I remember the first time we met was at a business dinner. You already had the air of a business elite. You were eloquent, wise and generous."
Fu Shiqin was flattered by the praise and flicked his still-wet bangs.
"You really think so?"
Ling Jiao nodded sincerely, then sighed regretfully.
"Now you're just sitting on set with me all day doing nothing, and you don't seem to have the same energy and spirit as before. I feel really bad about it."
Fu Shiqin was filled with enthusiasm and wished he could go back right now and become a serious business elite.
"I still like my job, but if I go back, our mission won't be finished yet."
Ling Jiao thought for a moment and then said.
"The scenes we need to film later are quite demanding. With you here, I doubt we'll get to say more than a few words to each other all day."
"However, I will have two weeks of rest after filming wraps up, at which time I will have the time and energy to complete our mission."
...
After listening, Fu Shiqin thought for a long time and then spoke.
"Well... I'll go back first, and we can continue our conversation after you finish filming?"
Ling Jiao nodded. "I think it's a good idea."
Fu Shiqin thought that Ling Jiao seemed to still like him when he was focused on his work. People always say that a serious man is the most charming.
So he immediately booked a flight for the day after tomorrow, ready to go back and work hard.
However, he had no idea that all of this was a scheme orchestrated by Fu Shiyi behind his back.
