Chapter 45

Li Qinghe glanced at the time, told the driver to take Xia Zhi home, and then got out of the car.

The lights in the living room were on as usual. Li Qinghe used to hate this place.

From the furnishings to everything else, it felt like a cage carefully crafted for her. But habit is a terrible thing, and after being together for a long time, everything feels natural.

"Is there anything to eat?" She wore a dress that night. In order to maintain her figure, she had not eaten anything since the afternoon and was very hungry now.

Jiang Jingxing looked at her and said in a slightly cold voice, "Didn't you eat?"

Li Qinghe was sleepy and hungry, so he could only lean softly on the sofa and nodded gently.

Faintly, I seemed to hear Jiang Jingxing snort coldly. Then, there were tiny noises coming from the kitchen.

Li Qinghe opened her eyelids slightly and looked towards the kitchen. The tall figure of a man was moving back and forth inside, looking a little out of place in the huge kitchen.

But... unexpectedly harmonious.

Li Qinghe was too tired to take a nap.

When I woke up again, I was attracted by the smell of food.

Jiang Jingxing had sat beside her without knowing when, and her head was resting on his thigh. His slender and warm fingers were running through her hair, and he looked at her with a domineering and possessive look.

"Awake?" It was like the sudden sound of a bell from deep in the forest, deep and slightly gentle.

Li Qinghe blinked and sat up from Jiang Jingxing's thigh, "Yeah."

They seem to be getting...closer and closer.

Sometimes, it's like an old couple who have been together for a long time.

Li Qinghe rubbed his eyes after taking off his coat. His hair was a little messy and fell on his shoulders. His palm-sized face was flushed and his small lips were pink and tender, looking very attractive.

Jiang Jingxing only felt his stomach tighten, and the familiar desire surged up again. He wanted Li Qinghe to be his from head to toe.

Li Qinghe didn't notice Jiang Jingxing's change. He patted his face and walked slowly across the dining table.

Jiang Jingxing's cooking skills were better than she had imagined. The simple three dishes and one soup tasted very much to her liking.

She was really sleepy, so she ate a little and went upstairs.

After a few days, Li Qinghe officially started filming.

The filming locations were shuttled between the neighboring city and this city, which meant she had to leave Jiang Jingxing for some time.

Li Qinghe had packed her luggage in the morning. While eating her breakfast, she kept looking at the man in front of her, fearing that Jiang Jingxing would regret it the next second.

When she was leaving, Jiang Jingxing grabbed her luggage.

Li Qinghe subconsciously looked to the side and said softly, "You promised."

Jiang Jingxing glanced at her and said, "Yeah."

Looks like he's in a bad mood.

Jiang Jingxing has already begun to regret that he should not have chosen that script for her in the first place.

The tension between them had just eased a little when they were about to leave.

Li Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to take the luggage and leave, Jiang Jingxing pushed the luggage away and put his arm around her waist possessively, "I regret this."

Li Qinghe lowered her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Jingxing. Her calm eyes just stared at Jiang Jingxing. Although she didn't have any emotion in her eyes, Jiang Jingxing understood what she meant.

She is angry.

If he really stopped Li Qinghe today, their relationship would only become more strained in the future.

With a thought, Jiang Jingxing turned to hold Li Qinghe's waist, and his hot breath approached Li Qinghe. His eyes seemed to be a little red, and Li Qinghe was not sure whether it was because he stayed up late last night or was too emotional today.

The corners of his eyes were a little narrow, and there was a bit of dominance in his eyes, "Amu, will you miss me?"

Jiang Jingxing is really a very contradictory person. Many times, he looks extremely scary. Sometimes, even if he doesn't say anything and just stands there casually, it can still make people terrified.

But sometimes, his persistence unexpectedly makes people feel a little distressed.

"I think so." Li Qinghe said softly.

She wasn't sure whether she would miss Jiang Jingxing after being away from him for a month.

Jiang Jingxing's face darkened, and it was obvious that he was not satisfied with Li Qinghe's answer. His palms were hot, and he gently stroked Li Qinghe's slender waist through her thin summer clothes, "I'll go with you."

Li Qinghe raised an eyebrow and spoke in a light voice, which was rare but contained a hint of helplessness, "Boss Jiang, are you ignoring my work?"

Her eyebrows and eyes were curved and lively, just like a little fox who had received some favor, which made her particularly attractive.

Jiang Jingxing was so tempted that he leaned over and kissed the corner of her lips, "Well, I was afraid you would get lost."

"No. We're just filming." Li Qinghe's eyes flickered. Jiang Jingxing's breath smelled good, with a hint of coldness. It was the one she was most familiar with.

"One call a day." Jiang Jingxing let her go. Li Qinghe was acting too well, and he was afraid that he would lose control in the next second. He would imprison everything about her and make her stay here.

Li Qinghe nodded and took his suitcase, "Okay."

Finally boarding the high-speed train, Li Qinghe continued to review the script. Time was tight, so she had to get into the state in the afternoon after taking the high-speed train in the morning.

Xia Zhichun handed her a piece of bread and said, "Eat a little. You didn't eat much this morning."

"Okay." Li Qinghe put down the script, raised his eyes and saw Ning Congyuan standing to the side.

Ning turned around just in time to meet her indifferent gaze, and smiled slightly, so gentle that it was hard to dislike him. "What a coincidence."

Li Qinghe didn't know whether this was a coincidence or intentional, so he smiled politely and said, "It's indeed a coincidence."

There was an aisle between them, so even if Ning wanted to reminisce with Li Qinghe, he had to consider other people.

Li Qinghe didn't think too much about it. He lowered his head and continued to concentrate on the script.

Xia Zhi, who was standing by, looked back and forth between the two of them, and finally sighed deeply.

The high-speed rail only takes an hour and we arrived very quickly.

Jiang Jingxing was worried about her safety, so he assigned her two assistants. Both were female, but they were former armed police officers. They carried Li Qinghe's 29-inch suitcase with ease.

"Li Qinghe, are you here to film?" Ning Congyuan asked her gently.

Li Qinghe nodded. After exiting the high-speed rail station, the sun outside was a bit strong. She wore a white hat that slightly covered her face. "Director Ning, too?"

"Yeah." Ning Congyuan smiled, "I invited you before, but you turned me down. I didn't expect that we would be so lucky to meet now."

Li Qinghe paused, it seemed that this was the case.

Ning Congyuan didn't seem to care about this matter and continued to ask her, "Your crew should be next door to us. We can have dinner together when we have time."
