Chapter 52 Meeting
"Yeah." Bai Yuqing nodded and answered her previous question first: "You're not jealous, but you're questioning my loyalty."
Then he asked a second question: "Do you want me to audition with you?" This was not the reaction she had expected at all.
Jiang Jinyue took a deep breath and asked him as calmly as possible, "Do you know there's a word called 'heroic competition'?"
"It's just two male dogs fighting?" Bai Yuqing asked with clear eyes.
“…”
"My sister was dating two guys at the same time, and they found out. Then the two guys started a fight and said whoever won would get my sister."
"Shouldn't your sister be the one to choose?" Bai Yuqing couldn't help but laugh when he heard this example. How could they directly decide a woman's fate?
"So my sister didn't choose either of these two people, so she found two more."
Bai Yuqing blinked, stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up.
I don’t know what to say, so just give it a thumbs up.
Jiang Jinyue slapped his hand away, "So you don't have any... feelings?"
How could he be so calm when he heard that she was going to film a kissing scene?
"So what you're saying is, I'm going to beat up Xu Feng? Make sure his face isn't photogenic, and then I'll take his place. Ah Jiu, I think this..."
"Squeak!" The sudden brakes shook Bai Yuqing's body and interrupted his words.
"get off!"
Oh no! I'm getting angry!
Bai Yuqing clutched the seatbelt with both hands. His hair barely reached his eyelashes, causing him to blink from time to time. There was no smile on his face. "Ajiu, do you still remember our kissing scene?"
"I've already thought about it. In your profession, you're bound to encounter intimate scenes like this."
"But what can we do about it? You have a bright future ahead of you, Jiu."
"I respect your profession. If there ever comes a conflict between your lover and your career, then there must be something wrong with one of you. But please believe me, I won't let this conflict arise between us."
Jiang Jinyue listened to his words quietly, reached out, took his hand, and kept clasping it in his palm. She said in a low voice, "Then tell me, are you feeling bad?"
"Ajiu, I just heard you were going to film a kissing scene, and my heart skipped a beat. I was thinking, this day has finally come, how come it happened so soon?"
Jiang Jinyue was somewhat satisfied and looked up at him.
Bai Yuqing knew that he had just passed the test and received a perfect score. A glimmer of anticipation appeared in his eyes. "So, can you... come a few more times tonight?"
Jiang Jinyue looked at his seductive look and very self-possessedly adhered to the principle: "Only once, no bargaining allowed."
Then she let go of his hand and drove away.
This should have been a night for two if I hadn't seen a mother and son at the entrance of the community.
The woman looked to be only in her early 30s, with long hair draped over her shoulders and three-dimensional and delicate facial features. Just standing there, she had a gentle yet determined aura.
In her right hand she was holding a little boy with a wolf-tail hairstyle. He was pouting in grievance and twisting around restlessly.
But the woman slapped him and he immediately became quiet.
Jiang Jinyue couldn't hold back his surprise for a moment, stepped on the brakes, and stopped inexplicably at the entrance of the community, which naturally attracted the attention of the mother and son.
"Do you know?" Bai Yuqing's eyes moved away from the mother and son in the rearview mirror, or to be more precise, the woman, and looked at Jiang Jinyue and asked softly.
"Yeah." Jiang Jinyue rubbed the steering wheel with her thumb, and the words of apology were on the tip of her tongue. It seemed really not good for her to suddenly and secretly pry into his privacy like this. Even between lovers, there should be a sense of propriety.
But Bai Yuqing shook his head, as if he knew what she was going to say, and said soothingly: "Ajiu, thank you for caring about me so much."
This mother and son are Bai Yuqing's biological mother and his half-brother.
"Are they... coming to see you?"
"Possibly. Remember when I told you I helped a little boy catch a cat? That's him."
When Bai Yuqing said this, he lowered his eyes and smiled, but the smile seemed a little weak.
In Jiang Jinyue's heart, her Bai Yuqing has always been a brave, strong, optimistic and open-minded person.
She never thought that he would say to her in a trembling tone that was suppressed but still had a hint of timidity:
"Ajiu, I'm a little scared."
Jiang Jinyue looked at him deeply, without saying a word, and stretched out a hand to hold him tightly, interlocking their fingers.
He stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the underground parking lot.
"Then we won't meet." Her tone was calmer than ever before. She was trying to comfort him, but also to suppress the anger in her heart.
In the underground parking lot.
Jiang Jinyue quietly accompanied Bai Yuqing, who leaned back in his chair, looking at the white wall in front of him through the windshield, but his eyes were unfocused.
"Ajiu, do you think they will be waiting there forever?"
What's wrong with waiting? You waited for her for 11 years, so what if she waited for you for a while?
Although she thought so in her heart, she did not say it out loud. Instead, she said, "No, I know rich people best. What they value most is time. They will not waste time waiting."
Jiang Jinyue was right.
Because soon, Bai Yuqing's cell phone rang.
He also wanted something to distract himself, so he picked up the phone.
There was a female voice on the other end of the phone:
"Hello? Hello, are you Mr. Bai Yuqing?"
Jiang Jinyue had been looking at him, so she clearly saw the change in his expression. The sudden stiffness in his eyes made it easy to guess who was on the phone.
But Bai Yuqing quickly returned to normal. He could even say in a calm, normal tone, "Yes, I am. May I ask who you are?"
"I'm the mother of the little boy you helped today. He told me you were scratched several times by a cat while helping him. I'm really sorry. We're waiting at the gate of your community. I don't know if you're home right now. My child and I wanted to express our gratitude to you in person."
"No need, it's just a small favor."
"How can I accept this? We must express our gratitude to you."
