She wanted to push him away, but when she thought of Lu Yanting's almost perfect handsome face and his hidden wealth, she gritted her teeth and endured it.
The room was large, but it looked empty. As soon as you entered, there was an LCD screen on the wall directly opposite, with a line of text floating on the screen: Welcome to my photo studio.
A sofa is placed directly opposite the monitor.
"Please form groups freely, sit on the sofas and take a group photo. After the photo is taken, you can proceed to the next destination." Suddenly, a mechanical yet somewhat eerie baby voice rang out.
The group looked at each other, momentarily at a loss for what to do.
Since we'd have to go through this sooner or later anyway, we might as well join in sooner. Ji Lun looked at Han Bing first and said, "Miss Han, how about we go together?"
Han Bing is always decisive and efficient, never dragging her feet. Upon hearing this, she strode to the sofa, sat down gracefully, and patted the empty seat next to her, saying crisply, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started! The sooner we finish filming, the sooner we can leave!"
Seeing this, Ji Lun nodded quickly and walked over to sit down next to her.
The moment the two sat down, the television screen miraculously transformed into a camera, and with a crisp "click," the photo was taken.
"Alright, you two can proceed to your next destination now." As the mechanical voice spoke, a door instantly appeared on the wall on one side of the room.
Ji Lun and Han Bing exchanged a glance, then went inside.
Seeing that nothing terrifying or frightening had happened for the time being, Lu Yanting took Qiu Mang's hand with peace of mind and walked over slowly.
The two sat down on the sofa, and just as the shutter was about to be pressed, a hand suddenly reached out from behind the sofa and gently patted Qiu Mang's shoulder.
"ah!"
Caught off guard, Qiu Mang screamed in fright. Lu Yanting reacted quickly, turning his head sharply and forcefully slapping away the outstretched hand.
Although there were some setbacks along the way, the photos were finally taken. Lu Yanting carefully protected Qiu Mang and quickly walked out of the room.
In the end, only four people remained in the room. One of the girls pulled the shorter boy forward, took a photo, and then they successfully left the room.
After the two men left, only Tian Jingjing and the tall man remained in the room. Tian Jingjing looked up at the man, but he was so tall that she couldn't see his face clearly.
“Mr. Lu, now it’s just the two of us left, let’s finish taking our photos and get out of here quickly,” Tian Jingjing said first.
"Um."
The man forced out a single word from deep in his throat, then took her hand and led her toward the sofa.
After the two sat down, Tian Jingjing suddenly screamed and pounced on the man's lap.
The NPC hiding behind the sofa couldn't help but wonder, "I haven't even had a chance to scare them yet, so what is this woman yelling about? She's such a coward!"
"I'm so sorry, but whenever I see this screen, I feel like a female ghost might crawl out of it at any moment. I'm really sorry, but you... probably don't mind, right?" Tian Jingjing's voice trembled slightly, and she looked extremely frightened.
The man didn't speak, but simply put his arm around her waist.
Seeing this, Tian Jingjing's lips curled into a knowing smile. It seemed she still possessed considerable charm; she hadn't expected to win Lu Yanting over so easily. Indeed, when pursuing a man, one had to take the initiative!
After graduating, she originally planned to stay in the city and find a job.
Then she received a call from home, telling her to come home. They said that girls don't need to work so hard to earn money. She should stay home and study hard to pass the civil service exam. If she passed, it would be a secure and desirable job. Then she could just find a rich man to marry.
Tian Jingjing thought her family made a lot of sense, so she went home to prepare for the exam, but several years passed and she still didn't pass.
Staying in her hometown meant she had no source of income, and since she didn't help with chores much at home and relied on her family for everything, her parents' attitude towards her gradually changed.
Tian Jingjing saw all of this, but how could she be willing to give up? She firmly believed that she still had a chance to pass the exam, and once she did, she refused to believe that her family would still treat her so coldly.
However, without financial support and having to be mindful of her parents' moods every day, Tian Jingjing felt immense pressure.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered her classmate from school, a boy named Ji Lun. Although his family was not well-off, he had pursued her very passionately, saying that he was willing to give everything for her.
Tian Jingjing sat on the stone steps of her hometown, looking up at the sky. She couldn't believe that there was such a silly boy in the world. Although she thought that way, she secretly had a hope in her heart.
So, she decided to test the waters, took out her phone and posted a picture of an expensive necklace on her WeChat Moments, with the caption: When will this ugly duckling like me be able to own such a dazzling necklace?
The post on WeChat Moments quickly garnered a surge in likes, and the comments were unanimously praising her as not an ugly duckling but a genuine swan. Some even made empty promises: "Isn't it simple? If you're willing to be my girlfriend, I'll buy you ten necklaces." It was all just empty talk.
However, Tian Jingjing didn't care too much. She posted this on her WeChat Moments mainly for Ji Lun to see. If she could catch another "big fish" along the way, that would be a pleasant surprise, but if not, she wouldn't mind.
She knew that Ji Lun had only been working for a few years and probably didn't have much savings. She figured that if he truly cared about her, he should at least send her a red envelope containing a few thousand yuan, along with a few heartwarming words.
But the result was far beyond her expectations. Several days passed, and there was still no movement from Ji Lun.
Just when she was about to give up completely, Ji Lun appeared at her doorstep. The man walked straight up to her and gently placed the necklace around her neck.
Upon seeing this, Tian Jingjing was instantly enraged. "Jilun, if you don't have the ability, you don't need to give it to me. There's no need to try to fool me with a fake one!"
Ji Lun panicked instantly, standing there helplessly, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment. "Jingjing, you've misunderstood. How could this be fake? You've always been incredibly important to me. Why would I try to fool you with a fake necklace?"
Tian Jingjing was taken aback, and asked with a suspicious look, "You're saying this is true? Where did you get so much money? This necklace is worth almost 100,000 yuan!"
