Chapter 3 Do you think I'm kidding?

No sleep all night.

Li Qinghe got up very early. It was six o'clock in the early spring, and the air was fresh. The ground outside the window was a little wet. A heavy rain in the middle of the night washed away much of the ground and brought back much of the ground.

The room has everything she likes, including her favorite clothing styles and her favorite cosmetics. Even the room is designed according to her favorite style.

It was as if it was the cage that Jiang Jingxing had carefully designed for her.

And she will be trapped here sooner or later.

"Why are you here?" After a quick wash, Li Qinghe opened the door and walked to the long corridor. A slender man with eyebrows hidden in the light and a cigarette between his fingers appeared. When he saw Li Qinghe, he put out the cigarette and threw it into the trash can.

Seeing that Jiang Jingxing didn't answer, Li Qinghe asked again, "Surveillance on me?"

"Yes." Jiang Jingxing raised his eyes, his eyebrows slightly cold, and his black eyes stared at Li Qinghe closely, "After all, you have been jumping out of the window to escape since you were twelve years old."

Li Qinghe's eyebrows were indifferent, and his tone was cold, "Don't worry, I won't do that."

Passing by Jiang Jingxing, Li Qinghe whispered, "I've told you before that smoking is bad, quit it."

"Okay." Jiang Jingxing said calmly and followed Li Qinghe downstairs.

The breakfast was light, just the style Li Qinghe liked.

After eating a little, Li Qinghe sipped some milk. She had always had the habit of drinking milk in the morning, and it had never changed.

Putting down the cup, Li Qinghe glanced at the time. It was still early.

"Jiang Jingxing, let's talk." Li Qinghe didn't like to avoid problems, but facing Jiang Jingxing, avoiding was useless.

Jiang Jingxing raised his eyes and stretched out his bony fingers towards her. His eyes were piercingly cold, and in this early spring season, Li Qinghe felt a sense of fear from the bottom of her heart. His fingertips trembled, and the slightly cold fingers had already touched her lips, gently wiping them.

"Qinghe, what are you afraid of?" His eyes fell on Li Qinghe's slightly trembling fingertips, as if puzzled, "I remember that your courage is not that small."

Li Qinghe lowered her eyes to hide the emotion in them, and said softly, "You're mistaken. I've always been timid."

"Jiang Jingxing, do you really want to marry me?"

Jiang Jingxing asked back, "Do you think I'm joking?"

Li Qinghe has been his for a long time, and no one can take her away from him.

Li Qinghe took a deep breath and looked up at him with a calm expression, "Just because we were engaged?"

"That's enough." Jiang Jingxing gently tucked her hair behind her ears. "So, you are mine, Qinghe."

Li Qinghe didn't believe it. She knew Jiang Jingxing too well. A man like him was used to keeping everything in his hands.

Thinking of the boy's eyes, Li Qinghe clenched his hands slightly.

It felt like... the world was his toy.

…

"Li Qinghe?" Xia Zhi patted Li Qinghe gently, handed her the warm water, and said with some worry, "What's wrong? Are you distracted?"

Li Qinghe shook her head. She was not sure what Jiang Jingxing was thinking, but she was very clear about one fact: she could not defeat Jiang Jingxing.

It was like this before, and it is still like this now.

"It's okay." Li Qinghe stood up and looked at the director. "Director, is this ok?"

The director carefully reviewed the video and pointed to a spot. "Li Qinghe, your eyes look a little weird here. You need to act like you're really happy and enjoying it."

She is beautiful in the picture, but she has a bit more of an ethereal feeling and lacks the sweetness of happiness.

"Sorry, director, let's shoot it again." Li Qinghe apologized. She was indeed in a bad state today.

The director nodded, "Okay, let's do another one. All departments, get ready!"

Li Qinghe, who had recovered, passed it in one go.

The director looked at Li Qinghe in the picture and was very satisfied. Although Li Qinghe had just debuted for a year and had not produced many works, she had a strong momentum. In his sharp eyes, if this girl could keep up, she would definitely have a place in the entertainment industry in the future.

"Not bad, not bad, Xiaohe's line is good. Take a break, there is only one scene left to shoot." The director praised.

Li Qinghe smiled and said gently, "Thank you for the affirmation, Director."

Xia Zhi quickly ran forward, handed over his business card, and said respectfully, "Director, this is my contact information. If there is a similar cooperation in the future, just give me a call."

The director glanced at Xia Zhi and nodded to accept it. He looked up and saw Ning walking towards him. He stood up quickly and asked, "Director Ning is here too?"

Ning Congyuan is very famous in the circle. Anyone who sees him has to respectfully call him "Director Ning", not to mention his identity outside the circle.

"Well, I just happened to pass by and came to take a look." Ning Congyuan said, his eyes fell on Li Qinghe and walked towards her.

Xia Zhi looked back and forth between the two of them, "I'll go find the director to watch the replay!"

"Are you okay?" Ning Congyuan sat down next to her, looking at her without leaving any trace. Seeing that she was in good spirits, he felt relieved.

Li Qinghe shook his head and yawned sleepily. As he got closer, he heard Ning's slightly cold voice from afar, "Why didn't you reply to my text message?"

"Text message?" Li Qinghe turned his head to look at him, thought about it for a moment, and figured it out.

No wonder I didn’t receive any message from Ning Congyuan the whole night. I guess Jiang Jingxing deleted it.

Jiang Jingxing was able to crack her cell phone password easily. He was much more terrifying than she had imagined.

"Sorry, I was too tired last night, so I went to sleep." Li Qinghe's eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was a hint of laziness in his voice.

Ning Congyuan pursed his lips lightly and said with a smile, "Li Qinghe, you are really not suitable for lying."

Last night, her call was answered by a man.

Li Qinghe shrugged, neither denying nor admitting. Hearing the director calling her, Li Qinghe stood up and looked at Ning Congyuan, "I'll go first."

Ning Congyuan nodded slightly.

After leaving the filming base, Ning felt a piercing gaze from a distance, falling on him. He turned his head and looked, his pupils shrank slightly, "Mr. Jiang, long time no see."

Jiang Jingxing narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, looking at Ning Congyuan dangerously and coldly, and opened his thin lips slightly, full of threat, "Ning Er, Li Qinghe is not someone you can think about."

Ning Er, probably the only one who dares to call Ning from afar like this is Jiang Jingxing.

"It was you last night, wasn't it?" Although it was a question, Ning Congyuan was very determined.

It turns out that the man next to Li Qinghe last night was Jiang Jingxing.

"Does Li Qinghe like you?" Ning knew from afar that Li Qinghe didn't like him, but he also knew that she had never liked anyone.

Jiang Jingxing sneered, his tone cold and overbearing, "She can only like me."

Li Qinghe had no other choice but to like him.
