Seeing that he admitted it directly, Ling Jiao's anger, which had been building up all afternoon, subsided somewhat.
If he really denied it, she thought she wouldn't want to say another word to him.
"It's not enough that your agent and assistant are your informants; you also have to turn Xiao Yang to your side."
"Back then, you always ignored me, and I was anxious to know what you were thinking, so I resorted to this tactic. That's absolutely not the case now," Fu Shiqin assured him confidently.
The assistant said she wasn't feeling well and kept having to retake scenes, so he rushed over.
However, I never expected that this was the reason I was in a bad mood.
Ling Jiao believed what he said. These were all things of the past, and she didn't want to dwell on them too much.
Besides, they're not boyfriend and girlfriend right now.
"If you'd be so kind as to accept my offer, I'll treat you to a meal as an apology," Fu Shiqin said sincerely.
Ling Jiao remained silent for a moment, then asked.
What do you want to eat?
"Order whatever you like," Fu Shiqin said.
Ling Jiao looked him up and down. "Then let's have your specialty dish."
Fu Shiqin chuckled, "Alright, I'll go buy the groceries and cook right away."
Ling Jiao had been holding back her anger all afternoon, but after speaking her mind, she wasn't so angry anymore.
So, we went grocery shopping together and went back to our rented apartment.
After returning to the apartment, Fu Shiqin busied himself getting her sunflower seeds and snacks, turning on the TV, and even pouring her some juice.
"Alright, you sit and wait, I'll cook something to make amends for you right away."
Ling Jiao chuckled, watching Fu Shiqin carry the groceries into the kitchen, and took a sip of her juice.
Fu Shiqin was humming a little tune as he washed and chopped vegetables in the kitchen when his cell phone, which was in the living room, rang.
Ling Jiao glanced at the caller ID, picked it up, and took it to the kitchen.
"Your third brother is on the phone."
"Thank you." Fu Shiqin wiped his hands, picked up the phone, and answered, "You've been out of contact for days, what's going on?"
"Ding Dongdong ran away again." Fu Shiyi sighed in frustration.
"I'll sympathize with you for a minute," Fu Shiqin said helplessly.
Fu Shiyi sighed and asked about his situation.
"And you, how's it going with Ling Jiao?"
“I’m cooking for her,” Fu Shiqin said.
"Holy crap, Fu Xiaoer, you're amazing! You finished it so quickly?" Fu Shiyi was shocked and couldn't believe it.
Before he even saw Ding Dongdong, Fu Shiqin had already successfully reconciled with Ling Jiao.
Fu Shiqin glanced at Ling Jiao, who had already returned to the living room to watch TV, and said in a low voice.
"No, we just get along as friends now."
"A friend's way?" Fu Shiyi couldn't understand it. "Treats you as a friend, but expects to be treated like a girlfriend. That's a bit scummy."
"I couldn't be happier for her to enjoy the treatment of being a girlfriend, okay?" Fu Shiqin said angrily.
This is better than her constantly avoiding him or ignoring him.
"Tch, Fu Xiaoer, are you planning to keep selflessly serving her as a friend?" Fu Shiyi snorted and said, "No one in our family has ever eaten your cooking, but you're so attentive to her."
"I had a brain fart earlier and let Yang Shasha live across from her to keep an eye on her. I'm apologizing for this today," Fu Shiqin explained.
“Yang Shasha?” Fu Shiyi muttered a few times and said, “Right, speaking of Yang Shasha, I felt like I’d seen her somewhere before when I saw her on set last time, but I can’t remember where.”
Fu Shiqin scoffed, "It's a woman. You said you've seen her somewhere before."
