Xie Qian had imagined this scene countless times.
When it actually happened, it was not as earth-shattering as Xie Qian had imagined. The first half of the kiss was silent.
There was sound in the second half.
Xie Qian first heard his own heartbeat, and then heard Wen Ying's heartbeat.
Both of their hearts were beating very fast, like two piano beginners with no tacit understanding who were forcing themselves to perform a four-hand duet. The music was messy and the beats were not in sync!
But Wen Ying did not push Xie Qian away.
The most beautiful night view of the river, the most touching first kiss, Wen Ying herself was intoxicated by it, how could she do something that would spoil the scenery?
At the critical moment, Xie Qian was more determined than Wen Ying. He started the kiss and ended it too.
"It's sweet."
Xie Qian seemed to be summarizing and reminiscing.
Wen Ying woke up as if from a dream. She couldn't suppress her frantic heartbeat. She glared at Xie Qian but felt weak and had no strength left.
“…What a mess.”
Wen Ying didn't taste any sweetness at all. When Xie Qian suddenly kissed her, she was confused and seemed to smell the fresh scent of grass after the rain.
Of course, Wen Ying would not describe it in detail to Xie Qian, as she felt a little embarrassed.
It was relaxing and comfortable to lie on the balcony and watch the night view just now. After the first kiss, I didn’t even know where to put my hands and feet, so Xie Qian suggested taking Wen Ying back to the hotel.
"I'll pick you up at tomorrow's book signing?"
"The publishing house has a car to take me there."
Wen Ying still had a straight-laced mindset, but Xie Qian had long been accustomed to it: "A publishing house is a publishing house, and a boyfriend is a boyfriend. There's no conflict."
After Wang Shuang and Li Mengjiao started dating, they couldn't wait to be together every day. Whenever Li Mengjiao was filming, Wang Shuang would quietly wait, laptop in hand, doing his own thing. Whenever Li Mengjiao paused for a break, Wang Shuang would immediately jump up and serve her tea and water. Outsiders might have thought Li Mengjiao had hired a new assistant!
Although Xie Qian couldn't be as flattering and attentive as Wang Shuang, he still wanted to accompany Wen Ying when she had an event.
A book signing event would require at least several hours of waiting, and the last thing Xie Qian lacked was patience.
"Okay then. I have to leave at 7am tomorrow morning. You should be there on time."
Xie Qian nodded softly.
When going downstairs, Xie Qian naturally held Wen Ying's hand.
The two had already done more intimate things, and when they held hands again, it was more natural than before. Even driver Yang thought they were a good match.
The boss and the future boss lady are getting closer... Driver Yang wishes he could become invisible!
That night, Wen Ying, who has always been heartless, couldn't sleep.
Her mind was like a slow-motion movie, replaying the scene of Xie Qian lowering his head and kissing her at least dozens of times!
I didn't have time to think too much when kissing, but I couldn't help thinking too much afterwards. When I woke up the next day, there was a faint dark circles under my eyes.
Xie Qian looked energetic and seemed unaffected at all.
Wen Ying looked at her nose and her nose at her heart, and stopped looking around. Only then did Xie Qian look sideways.
From eyes to eyebrows, nose to mouth, including hair, Wen Ying's appearance completely meets Xie Qian's aesthetic taste, making him like her more and more the more he looks at her.
Today marks the release date for "Exploring the Jing," the second book in the "Nine Tripods" series. After discussing it with Yuan Fenghui, Ding Chao has launched online pre-sales for "Exploring the Jing." Readers are surprisingly willing to pay for the book before it's even released. Nearly 100,000 copies have already been sold online in just one week of pre-sales, a figure that has Ding Chao delighted.
Seeing Wen Ying, Ding Chao shook her hand with joy: "Teacher Xiaoyu, there are thousands of readers here today. Your hands are going to be tired again!"
Wen Ying looked at the dark crowd with mixed feelings.
I’m happy that my popularity hasn’t diminished and my new book is still popular among readers. But I’m worried that my arms will be sore for a few days after the book signing today!
Xie Qian sat in the nanny car and did not get out. He also heard the thunderous cheers outside the car.
He knew that Wen Ying was very popular, but he had never felt Wen Ying's terrifying popularity so directly.
Li Mengjiao is a big star, and Wen Ying's popularity is no less than Li Mengjiao.
As usual, there were press interviews before the book signing event. Wen Ying had prepared a lot of speeches related to "Tan Jing", but the reporters kept talking about things that happened before the New Year. They all asked about the filming progress of "Shendu Youth" and the fact that Wen Ying sold the script for a high price of 5 million.
Wen Ying had been asked these questions so many times that her ears were numb from hearing them. She was somewhat impatient when answering the reporter's questions:
"Is 5 million a lot to buy a movie script? I don't care what others offer. I won't sell my movie scripts for less than 5 million in the future."
The reporters were going crazy.
"Xiaoyu, will all your future movie scripts sell for 5 million?"
"I really won't sell it for less than 5 million..."
"If someone offered 3 million or 4 million, you wouldn't sell it?"
Wen Ying frowned and didn't want to answer.
The readers had been waiting for a long time and just wanted to get Wen Ying's signed book as soon as possible. The reporters were not interested in "Tan Jing" at all and only asked about the remuneration for the movie script. The readers could no longer bear it and collectively made a fuss and drove the reporters away.
"If you think it's too expensive, you don't have to buy it. Are you annoying?"
"That's right! The film company didn't say anything, but you're still holding on to Xiaoyu's script offer. You're meddling in other people's business."
"Xiaoyu can live a comfortable life even without writing scripts. We hope that Xiaoyu can focus all her energy on writing novels."
"Yes, yes, yes. If those film companies think it's too expensive, then don't bother Xiaoyu!"
Public opinion was hard to suppress, readers all stood on Wen Ying's side, and reporters really had no say.
However, the reporters all left with smiles on their faces, as they got the news they wanted.
The book signing event can finally start normally.
Xie Qian thought this was Wen Ying's daily routine, more difficult to handle than he had imagined. Wen Ying said her future film script quotes would never be less than 5 million, and Xie Qian didn't think anything was wrong with that.
If other companies think it's too expensive, at worst, Charles Schwab can buy it. Xie Qian thought that Wen Ying could only earn 5 million by writing a script, and he wanted to add another zero to the end of this quote.
Xie Qian's phone suddenly rang. It was Jiang Youjia calling.
Jiang Youjia told Xie Qian two things.
The first was the drama adaptation of Shui Mingyue. After Jiaxin took over midway through production, it finally completed all post-production. Several TV stations were interested in the series and had already inquired about its price.
The second thing is related to the first.
"We cut a lot of Luo Hao's scenes in post-production. He's still the male lead, but he won't be the star. If this drama's ratings are a hit, it will definitely be because of Pei Yiyi, not Luo Hao. But I heard that Luo Hao somehow got in touch with Huanyu, and they're currently filming a movie where they're going to cast him as the second male lead."
'Huanyu' is the Ran family's company.
The movie that Huanyu is currently filming is the one led by Ran Keqing, and it is going to compete with "Shendu Youth"!
"You mean, Huanyu plans to sign Luo Hao?"
Jiang Youjia did indeed guess this.
If they didn't sign, why leave the second male lead role to Luo Hao?!
