"A-Luo, you can't go back on your word," he reminded her again.
Ning Qiluo nodded solemnly: "Yes, I can't go back on my word. After all, you said that lying will get you struck by lightning. If I get struck by lightning, you won't have a wife anymore, right? So, in order for you to always have a wife, I won't lie casually."
Jiang Yingchi smiled and said a word that Ning Qiluo didn't understand.
He said, "It's worth it."
Ning Qiluo asked, "What's worth it?"
He said, "It's all worth it to have my eye on you, to block you, to protect you, to wait for you, and to want you."
Ning Qilu pouted: "Then why do you always bully me?"
"I tease you because I love you," he tried to instill this twisted logic in her.
Upon hearing this, Ning Qiluo's cheeks puffed out even more, and her delicate expression seemed about to explode: "Do you think I'm too young to be a match for you, so you can easily fool me? You think I'll believe whatever you say?"
Jiang Yingchi chuckled: "So that's what you think?"
"It's not that I want to think this way, it's your behavior that makes me think this way. For example, what you just said, do you think you're talking to a three-year-old?"
She tried to correct the fallacy.
But it made him laugh repeatedly. He cupped her face in his hands and carefully traced her features, saying, "You're not that old to me, you're as old as a thousand years old."
That's so practical and so pleasing to the ear.
She leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek: "I love hearing you say that, I love hearing it so much."
Jiang Yingchi narrowed her eyes: "Then, shouldn't you tell me your schedule for tomorrow night?"
Ning Qiluo was startled and instinctively leaned back. "You knew everything?"
He leaned forward and said, "I know, but I won't interfere. I'm giving you your freedom, and my only goal is to protect you better."
He spoke very quickly, but Ning Qiluo didn't miss a single word.
She swallowed hard. It seemed that her leaning back had hurt someone's feelings. He looked unwell. Ning Qiluo pursed her lips and used her tried-and-true method to pounce into his arms, rubbing against him like a kitten, making him feel warm all over.
"Stop rubbing against me, I'm speaking properly." He said with a stern face.
Ning Qiluo didn't care; she was shameless enough to rub against him anyway, so she continued to rub against him a couple more times.
"Here's the thing, I'm going to the Star Awards with Mu Yu tomorrow night. I'm bringing my work with me, and tomorrow night is also the Star Awards' 55th anniversary."
"For example, the upcoming TV series 'Did the Princess Get Rich Today?' and the upcoming movie 'The Partner.'"
"Even without movies and TV series, I have several major endorsements for international brands."
"Furthermore, I recorded a reality show with senior Kong Jinling. In short, I can attend in other capacity even without being a shareholder, and I am not Mu Yu's female companion."
She specifically emphasized that she was not attending as a female companion.
She was an independent individual who was invited to go.
Although she wasn't given an invitation to this year's Star Awards, the organizers were rather clueless...
"So, what about the dress?" He raised an eyebrow and glanced at her.
To Ning Qiluo, that expression just seemed smug.
She thought to herself, "He knows all this? I really suspect there's a spy among his people around her."
Fu Zai?
Jones Edith?
Xie Ya?
Forget it, she couldn't be bothered to think about who it was. Even if there was a spy around her, she would still do what she was supposed to do, without any constraints whatsoever.
