After Lu Jinghuai finished speaking, Ye Nanxing froze on the spot once again.
Is everything they once had truly gone forever?
She stared at Lu Jinghuai, her eyes gradually reddening.
She was unwilling to lose to Shen Wenran so easily.
“Jinghuai…”
Ye Nanxing almost choked up when he called out the name.
However, Lu Jinghuai didn't even glance at her, turning to Shen Wenran instead: "Madam, we should go home."
Lu Jinghuai's tone was unusually gentle.
Shen Wenran remained stunned.
Is this still Lu Jinghuai? Did he take the wrong medicine?
—He actually called me "wife" and spoke to me so gently?
—Wait, so they can't get a divorce again?
—Heavens above, my little brother born in the 2000s, my little brother who blushes and gets shy... please wait for your big sister.
Lu Jinghuai: "..."
On the way back, Shen Wenran looked at Luo Anwen leaving with her younger brother, her eyes filled with envy.
They were all sullen and unhappy.
She imagined countless times how to refute Lu Jinghuai's words, but in the end, all of them were in vain.
Yes, as long as that scoundrel doesn't mention divorce, her mission cannot be completed, and she cannot truly experience Luo Anwen's happiness.
She even considered poisoning the man into a mentally impaired state while on the road.
In the end, they had no choice but to admit defeat.
...
Ye Nanxing stared blankly at the empty room for a long time.
Finally, she stood up and shoved the things on the table onto the ground.
"Shen Wenran, what methods did you use to make Lu Jinghuai, who used to ignore you and even hate you, change his attitude towards you so drastically?"
"Do you think I'll lose? No, I won't."
Ye Nanxing looked at herself in the mirror and gently touched the band-aid on her forehead.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch. Do you think your role in the new drama is so easy to play?"
"The female supporting character will play the villain, get slapped, disfigured, fall into the water, be raped... and even die from being stabbed in the chest with a sword in the end."
As she said this, a cold smile appeared on her lips.
He then took out his phone and dialed a number.
As soon as the call connected, she said to the person on the other end, "Hello, is this Ms. Shen Ruoyi? Yes, this is Ye Nanxing. I'd like to meet with you to discuss your role in your new drama..."
...
After what happened last time, Shen Wenran was depressed for a long time.
She couldn't understand at all what went wrong.
So apart from occasionally going to the film set to take costume photos, she basically just sits in her room in a daze.
The matter that Lu Jinghuai asked his assistant Zhang to investigate last time has also yielded results.
He deliberately avoided discussing the matter at the company and instead invited Assistant Zhang to his home.
So Shen Wenran was still lying on the bed in a daze when she heard a 'smack' sound from the study.
"So, Lu Shen did indeed embezzle company funds? I believe he couldn't have done this alone. Continue the investigation."
Shen Wenran lay there, utterly bored.
I just complained to myself.
—At least you have some brains. It's true that he couldn't have done it alone. There was also the finance manager involved, and the ledgers he gave you were probably only a part of the whole.
—Not only that, because the plot needs to test the female lead, the author has set up a story where you will also face an asset crisis in the middle of the story.
Of course, the female lead will still step in to help you through the crisis. Look at them, what a perfect couple they are!
Assistant Zhang couldn't hear Shen Wenran's inner thoughts, but upon hearing his boss's words, he tentatively asked, "Then how about I investigate the others as well?"
Lu Jinghuai spoke calmly: "Since he was able to embezzle the funds, we should investigate from the source. We need to find out how he embezzled them and who handled them."
"Especially the finance manager."
He had just finished speaking when he realized he still wanted to get some information from Shen Wenran.
However, there was no further movement from that side.
He has now accepted the fact that he lives in a book.
Even if he is just a character in a book, he still firmly believes that he has a life of his own and his own thoughts.
If... we could learn how to leave from this woman, it would be even more perfect.
Assistant Zhang responded, and Lu Jinghuai gestured for him to leave.
After Assistant Zhang left, Lu Jinghuai, in his wheelchair, slowly made his way to the bedroom.
When he got to the bedroom, he realized that the woman was already asleep on the bed.
The woman has a wonderful figure, and her graceful posture is even more evident when she sleeps on her stomach.
Especially her long, slender legs, exposed due to her poor sleeping posture, are captivating.
However, looking further up, one sees indecent images.
Shen Wenran tilted his head, with glistening drool about to drip from the corner of his mouth.
Lu Jinghuai was leisurely admiring the beauty when he unexpectedly witnessed this scene.
He frowned in disgust, then pulled out a tissue and placed it on the corner of her mouth to prevent drool from dripping onto the sheets.
Just as he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of her asleep, still holding her phone.
And because I forgot to adjust the screen-off time last time, I fell asleep, and the screen on my phone kept flashing.
? ? ?
Intentional?
Because of the previous bathroom incident, he was no longer surprised by women's lewd behavior.
The screen on the phone was still flickering.
The woman's even breathing and the occasional snoring were enough to prove that she was truly asleep.
