From a close distance, across the door panel, the voice of He Ning's agent could be heard faintly, with a hint of ridicule and contempt in his tone.

Lu Qi stopped moving to leave and held his breath. He was hopeful and eager to know what He Ning was thinking of him at this moment.

"Oh, no."

As soon as He Ning finished speaking, Lu Qi was immediately delighted and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew... he knew that Ning Ning had said those hurtful words just now because she was angry.

Just, the next second.

"But I am a little annoyed with him. He is too clingy. I have to act like a gentle girl in front of him all the time. I am exhausted just dealing with him."

"Originally, I flirted with him because he looked good and young, and wanted to try out what it was like to be with a younger brother."

"Well, he is indeed easy to fool. Just smile at him and he will take the bait easily."

"Pfft, all boys of this age are like this, so naive." He Ning's manager couldn't help laughing: "When I came in just now, I saw him leaving with red eyes, so, what are you going to do with him now?"

"I have to remind you, Xiao Ning, you can have fun, but now is a critical period, you can't cause me any messy love scandals."

He Ning snorted contemptuously in response: "Don't worry, he likes me so much. When we were dating, he probably thought we were in a relationship. I told him not to make it public, so he just obeyed. Even if I really dumped him, he would probably just cry secretly by himself. He wouldn't be that bad."

“…”

Lu Qi outside the door froze in place, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Every sentence and every word spoken inside the door reached his ears clearly, but why, why was it that he could not quite understand the meaning of such simple and easy-to-understand words?

Lu Qi's mind went blank, followed by a sharp pain.

It was clearly Ning Ning's voice that he was extremely familiar with, but this voice said words that were extremely unfamiliar to him, completely turning his world upside down.

He held back the suffocating feeling and began to subconsciously recall and review the entire process of his beautiful first meeting, acquaintance, familiarity, ambiguity, and love with He Ning.

In my impression.

Although Ningning was always very busy at work, the two met no more than three times a month and usually kept in touch only through WeChat. Every time they met, she always smiled at him gently, and would show concern for him whether he was tired from training, and make sure he had eaten on time, etc.

In his heart, Ningning is the best girl in the world.

All these little interactions... were firmly remembered in his heart, and he felt extremely sweet and happy.

But now, tell him that all that sweetness is fake, and those scenes are all acted out.

Lu Qi felt that his breathing became a little difficult, and his throat seemed to be tightly clamped, making it impossible for him to make a sound.

At this moment, he really wanted to push open the door and ask Ning Ning, ask He Ning in person.

Have you ever been sincere to him?

But at this moment, his hands and feet seemed to be filled with thousands of pounds of lead and he could not move.

The last bit of strength he had was just enough for him to take out the cell phone from his pocket in a very embarrassed and trembling manner.

“…”

The people in the lounge continued to talk.

"Is what you said true, Xiao Ning? If this boy really listens to you, why did he hit you so hard on the show today? I think you should be more careful." He Ning's agent asked back.

The room was silent for two seconds.

He Ning's voice turned slightly gloomy: "Humph, I get angry when you mention this. God knows what's wrong with him all of a sudden?"

“…”

"After all, you guys have a drama before, and you played a couple in the drama. It won't go wrong if you can send more subsequent announcements."

"However, his agent agreed to the hype, but Ah Hu himself directly refused. His agent couldn't say anything more, so..." The matter had to be dropped.

Regarding this result, He Ning just said "oh" indifferently and did not take A Hu seriously at all.

"If you don't want to fry it, then don't fry it. Who cares?"

He Ning said dissatisfiedly: "Sometimes when the movie king is around, who would like to see him? What a pity..."

He Ning did not say the second half of the sentence.

——It’s a pity that she never found the opportunity.

Hearing what He Ning said, her agent exclaimed: "Oh my God, what unrealistic things are you thinking about?"

"You're actually still thinking about hyping yourself up with Mr. Shi?!"

"Don't talk about hype, okay? You couldn't even find a way to create a related topic by deliberately getting close to it."

“…”

"Actor Shi is well-known in the industry for keeping strangers away. He is a stubborn person who never gives in to others. I'm afraid you can't even get within two meters of him."

"Otherwise, if you search online, you won't find any gossip about him at all."

“…”

He Ning also knew how difficult this matter was, and it was nothing short of wishful thinking, but he was unwilling to give up, because -

She thought of something and muttered, "Two meters? But I saw that guy was quite close, wasn't he?"

He Ning's agent didn't hear clearly: "What?"

"Nothing." He Ning obviously didn't want to say anything more.

He Ning was very annoyed now, and suddenly she remembered Lu Qi's thoughtful and caring kindness like a little puppy.

He didn't realize at all how excessive it was for him to give someone the cold shoulder just ten minutes ago.

She took out her cell phone again, ready to send Lu Qi a message, condescending to give Lu Qi a way out. In her heart, she had already regarded Lu Qi as a dog that could be summoned and dismissed at will.

He Ning swiped the screen and found a message that said "Do Not Disturb", and even the note was a single-word contact.

She sent a rose emoji.

In the past, when He Ning initiated a cold war, He Ning would do it this way. He would send a message to tell Lu Qi that he had calmed down, and then Lu Qi would be very happy to respond to him.

However, this time.

He Ning waited for less than two seconds before his cell phone rang.

Just when He Ning was feeling proud, thinking that Lu Qi must be always waiting in front of his phone for her to send him a message.

She saw the content of the message.

The person was completely stunned.
