Fu Shiqin stared at him intently, unable to utter the words of confession he had prepared.
"Is that what you think?"
"Otherwise what?" Ling Jiao asked with a light laugh.
"I... if I were after sex, I would have made my move long ago. Do you think you could have escaped?" Fu Shiqin was furious. He had prepared all this so meticulously, but after seeing it, she thought he was only after sleeping with her.
Seeing his exasperated expression, Ling Jiao chuckled.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood."
Fu Shiqin patted his chest to calm his agitated mood.
"You almost made me so angry I died."
Ling Jiao smiled sincerely, "Thank you so much for making my dream come true."
This was something she had dreamed of for many years, but she never expected that he would help her achieve it.
Seeing her radiant smile, Fu Shiqin felt that all the hard work of the past few months had been worthwhile.
"Ling Jiao, I think we can't continue to have this kind of relationship."
Ling Jiao looked at him and nodded.
"I understand."
"You understand?" Fu Shiqin was taken aback. He hadn't even said anything yet, and she really understood?
Ling Jiao smiled gently and said.
"To thank you for this generous gift, let me treat you to dinner today."
"Just inviting me to dinner?" Fu Shiqin was a little disappointed.
Ling Jiao said with a smile, "I cooked it myself."
"That's more like it." Fu Shiqin was overjoyed.
Given her intelligence, it's likely that she understood his true thoughts and intentions upon receiving this 3D holographic projection hall.
So, before he could even say it, she already understood what he was thinking.
This is probably what my sister-in-law meant by a tacit understanding.
"Let's go then," Ling Jiao urged.
Fu Shiqin took the roses he had secretly hidden to the side and handed them to her, saying...
"I was originally planning to give it to you in a really cool way, but you said you understood, so that's all I could give it to you."
Ling Jiao accepted the flowers and chuckled.
"You look handsome all day."
Fu Shiqin, full of confidence, put his arm around her shoulder and walked out, talking as they went.
"This place isn't far from where you live. You can come anytime you want from Beijing. The password to the venue's entrance is your birthday."
Ling Jiao smiled without saying a word and silently got into the car and sat down.
"I haven't lived at home for quite a while, so I might need to buy groceries."
“I’ll go buy it in a bit,” Fu Shiqin said happily.
The two drove away from the 3D holographic projection hall and found a nearby supermarket. Ling Jiao, being a public figure, couldn't show her face, so she made a list of things to buy, and Fu Shiqin went into the supermarket alone and bought everything.
Then, they went back together to Ling Jiao's apartment, which had been vacant for quite some time.
"Please sit for a while, I'll prepare dinner," Ling Jiao said, taking the groceries to the kitchen.
Fu Shiqin wanted to eat the food she cooked herself, but he couldn't bear to let her work alone, so he followed her into the kitchen to pick and wash the vegetables.
"By the way, my family is leaving for Switzerland the day after tomorrow. My brother and sister-in-law are having their wedding there. Could you spare some time to come?"
Ling Jiao thought for a moment, then shook her head helplessly.
"I'm afraid I can't go. I've already taken the last two days off. I have a lot of scenes to film when I get back, so I don't have time to take more time off."
"However, please congratulate your brother and sister-in-law for me."
"What's there to congratulate? They've been married for ages," Fu Shiqin retorted.
Ling Jiao looked at him and smiled, "You dare say that in your own home?"
"I dare not." Fu Shiqin admitted defeat very readily.
In their eyes, his brother and sister-in-law were already an old married couple, but the two of them seemed to be still immersed in the sweetness of newlywed love.
Ling Jiao chuckled, but Fu Shiqin stared at her and said.
"Don't smile so beautifully."
Ling Jiao chuckled, "What's wrong?"
“I would have beastly thoughts,” Fu Shiqin said.
