Chapter 183 Men are insecure
It was almost 11 o'clock when Lin Feiyan returned to the house. He had official business to attend to, so Ye Qingning went straight to her room and called Jian Yan.
Jian Yan happened to be during a break from filming Xie Linjing's music video. She was going over the script with Xie Linjing when she saw the unfamiliar number and answered it very politely: "Hello."
In short, it's me.
"Qingning?" Jian Yan happily gestured to Xie Linjing, took two steps away, and spoke to Ye Qingning: "You're back?"
"Yes, I came back yesterday."
Why did you change your phone number?
Ye Qingning: "...Don't mention it. Save my phone number. Also, I've moved. I'm at Tianfu Villa now."
“Okay, I’ve got it.” Jian Yan said, “I saw on the school notice board that the course you registered for starts the day after tomorrow. Then we can have lunch together, and you can also come to my dorm for a nap.”
"Yes." Ye Qingning was also looking forward to the rest of the day: "But Lin Feiyan is injured, so I took a few days off and I probably won't be able to go there until next week."
"I see." Jian Yan said with a hint of regret, "It's okay, I'll hold on for a few more days."
Ye Qingning smiled and said, "By the way, could you pick up the books for me today if you have time? I'll come and get them from you in the next couple of days."
"Okay, no problem..."
After Xie Linjing learned that the person Jian Yan was talking to was Ye Qingning, he quietly approached and gestured that he wanted to speak. Jian Yan then said to Ye Qingning, "Xie Linjing has something to say to you."
Soon, Xie Linjing's deep and pleasant voice came through the receiver: "Hello, I heard you were injured. Are you recovering now?"
"It's recovered," Ye Qingning said. "Thank you."
Hearing the slight distance in her tone, Xie Linjing paused for a moment: "Have I bothered you?"
"No," Ye Qingning said, puzzled. "Why do you say that?"
"I messaged you a few days ago, and then you blocked me..." Xie Linjing said, "Actually, I just wanted to be friends with you, don't misunderstand..."
"Blocked?" Ye Qingning paused. "I didn't. When did you send me that message?"
After hearing his brief explanation of what had happened, Ye Qingning frowned slightly.
Her phone should have been in Lin Feiyan's hands at that time, so that's why he changed her phone number?
That can't be!
"I'm sorry, it was probably a mistake," Ye Qingning explained. "Because I changed my phone number, I deleted all the social media apps associated with that number."
"Oh, I see." Xie Linjing breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. I'll write down your phone number later. Let's have dinner together sometime."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Qingning let out a breath, feeling a little surprised.
Lin Feiyan is clearly the man with the highest wealth and the most power in this book. Shouldn't he be the kind of domineering CEO who looks down on the world?
How could someone do something like blocking Xie Linjing!
Considering Lin Feiyan's previous behavior, she became even more convinced of her idea that men are very insecure.
The reason for this is probably that he was neglected by his family when he was young, which led to his sensitive constitution, and perhaps also a little bit of inferiority complex...
Ye Qingning raised her hand to her forehead. Sure enough, this book was abandoned. The character settings just couldn't hold up!
So her next task has changed to repairing the male lead's fragile heart?
...
After finishing filming the morning's scenes, there was still some time left, so Jian Yan went directly to the office to pick up Ye Qingning's new books. She went empty-handed, but was surprised to find that there were more than a dozen copies.
She came out of the office building carrying a stack of books, and when she looked up, she saw a man striding towards her.
As always, he possessed exceptionally refined features and a handsome, elegant figure, exuding the charm of a mature man in every move.
Jian Yan felt a sudden jolt in her heart, but quickly returned to normal.
The man was dressed in a well-pressed black suit, his face cold and stern, but a faint smile appeared on his lips the moment he saw her.
It is Chen Chu, not Chen Ci.
Aside from their clothes, the biggest difference between these two people is probably their smiles.
Chen Chu rarely smiles, but when he does, it comes from the bottom of his heart. In contrast, Chen Ci's smiles rarely reach his eyes.
He seems to be better at performing a smile.
It's probably because he's an excellent psychologist.
In that instant, Chen Chu had already taken the stack of books from her hands, his gaze falling on her arm where there were red marks: "Why didn't you carry a backpack?"
Jian Yan rubbed her slightly sore arms: "I overlooked it, I didn't expect there to be so many books."
"Let's go, we can have lunch together," Chen Chu said.
"No need, just give the book to Qingning for me. I have a shoot this afternoon and only have half an hour to rest."
Chen Chu put the book in the back seat, raised his wrist to check his watch: "Half an hour? That's enough time, I've already ordered food."
In short: "Huh?"
Chen Chu had already opened the passenger seat, his gaze fixed firmly on her.
Jian Yan hesitated for a moment, then got into the car.
She happened to want to inquire about Lin Feiyan's situation. The information she received about the plot indicated that the man was somewhat obsessive, and she was a little worried about Ye Qingning.
...
Chen Chu's car did not drive out of the campus, but instead followed the secluded path of the staff quarters until it stopped outside a courtyard.
"here?"
"A noodle shop." Chen Chu got out of the car and went around to Jian Yan's side to open the door for her. "Don't worry, it's delicious. I guarantee you'll like it."
Last time at the airport, she ended up choosing a noodle shop, and she seemed to really enjoy eating noodles.
Chen Chu remembered it all.
Jian Yan silently got out of the car and followed Chen Chu into the courtyard. Sure enough, there was a small shop with a sign not far away, with only two words: "Noodle Shop".
Upon entering the noodle shop, I discovered it was a hidden gem. Although the shop was small, it was decorated with great care, clearly not an ordinary street-side shop.
Chen Chu led her straight into the private room, where food was already laid out on a square table.
Two bowls of beef noodles and several plates of stir-fries—the aroma, color, and flavor all seemed perfect.
Jian Yan swallowed hard: "I'm really hungry."
Chen Chu helped her to a seat: "Eat it while it's hot."
“Okay.” Jian Yan didn’t hesitate. She liked noodles, especially beef noodles.
Chen Chu quietly ate his food, his gaze occasionally falling on Jian Yan, and a silent smile appeared on his lips.
He had long noticed that Jian Yan liked to eat, especially noodles.
He felt that such a simple girl must be easy to get along with.
After finishing his meal, Jian Yan put down his chopsticks and casually asked while sipping his tea, "Why did Qing Ning move? The house in Tianfu Villa seems quite large."
"Yes," Chen Chu said. "The house is fully equipped and very beautiful."
“Everything is available…” Jian Yan’s eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly: “Judging from Mr. Lin’s words, he doesn’t intend to let Qing Ning leave that house?”
Chen Chu paused in his tea-drinking motion: "I don't know."
“How could you not know?” Jian Yan stared intently at him.
