Chapter 386 Sending him to Antarctica to film a movie
Leng Yanluo replied quickly, "The sooner the better! A lot of people are eyeing this cake."
"Understood!" Anjing rubbed her hands excitedly. "I'll tell him when I get back that I thank Teacher Luo for helping me solve my problem."
Leng Yanluo's lips curled into a smile: "You're welcome."
Anjing let out a long, comfortable sigh: "Sigh, finally I have a suitable excuse. He has a job now, so he can't keep lying around any longer."
“Of course!” Leng Yanluo happily agreed.
The car drove into the small villa.
Before the combination lock was even finished, the door was yanked open from the inside.
"President An!"
Inside the room, Meng Ke was carrying a shovel, wearing an apron, and looking resentful.
Leng Yanluo stepped to the side and stood in front of An Jing. Meng Ke stopped abruptly a second before he could touch Leng Yanluo's clothes.
He pursed his lips, looking somewhat aggrieved, and said, "President An, where did you and him go? I've been waiting for you at home all day!"
Anjing casually replied, "I didn't go anywhere, I just wandered around the neighborhood."
Meng Ke said "Oh," and then said sensibly, "You must be hungry after walking around for so long, right? I made you lots of delicious food!"
Meng Ke led her to the table, saying, "Braised ribbonfish, boiled sliced pork, stir-fried cabbage—look, President An, these are all your favorite dishes!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the congee and pickled vegetables next to him and said to Leng Yanluo, "See? I prepared a portion for you too. How about that? Pretty loyal, right? Don't say I, Meng Ke, am unethical!"
Leng Yanluo looked at Meng Ke and chuckled, "Sorry, we've already eaten."
Meng Ke was stunned, then turned to look at An Jing: "President An, are you all full?!"
She cleared her throat lightly and said, "Mm."
Meng Ke pursed his lips and remained silent.
Leng Yanluo glanced at Meng Ke and then at An Jing, coughed lightly and said, "An An, didn't you have something to say to Meng Ke?"
“Oh, right, right.” Anjing pulled Meng Ke down to sit and said earnestly, “Xiao Meng, you’re not good at anything, but you’re lucky. The company got you a big deal, the second male lead in ‘Antarctic Love,’ a famous director, a big production. How about that? Surprised?”
"What do you mean?" Meng Ke was completely bewildered.
Anjing patted Meng Ke on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Young man, congratulations, you have a job now. Remember to do your best and hurry up and pack your things to get ready to join the crew."
"Oh, Mr. An, can I not go?"
"Why? It's such a great opportunity!"
Meng Ke said cautiously, "I heard that this movie was filmed entirely on location in Antarctica. It's far and tiring. If I go, I won't be able to see you for more than half a year."
Leng Yanluo added fuel to the fire: "An'an, the contract has already been signed. If you don't go, the company will have to pay a penalty for breach of contract, right?"
Over the past few days, An Jing and Leng Yanluo had developed some tacit understanding, and An Jing immediately understood what Leng Yanluo meant. She nodded and said, "That's right, Xiao Meng, there's no room for discussion. After you finish eating, pack your things and contact your agent to come pick you up."
As she spoke, Anjing yawned and said, "I'm tired after shopping all day. Teacher Luo, could you help Xiaomeng with this? I'm going upstairs now."
Leng Yanluo adopted a gentlemanly demeanor: "It's a pleasure to serve General Manager An."
With the outcome already decided, Meng Ke was powerless to refute it. He slumped onto the sofa, his face ashen. Going to Antarctica to film would surely kill him.
...
An hour later, when Anjing came downstairs again, Leng Yanluo was nestled on the sofa, drinking coffee and reading a magazine, looking very comfortable.
Quietly looking around.
Leng Yanluo noticed her movement, put down his coffee and said, "Don't bother looking anymore, he's gone."
"So fast?!" An Jing's expression was full of surprise.
Leng Yanluo's expression turned indifferent: "What, you can't bear to part with it?"
Anjing smacked her lips: "You know what, there's a bit of that."
Leng Yanluo: "That kid is so noisy, what's so special about him that you can't bear to part with him?"
"He can do housework!"
Leng Yanluo raised an eyebrow and glanced at her: "I can't?"
"He can even cook!"
"You don't like what I made?"
"Then...he can help my company make money!"
Leng Yanluo: "?"
Seeing his embarrassed expression, Anjing chuckled and sat down next to Leng Yanluo: "Alright, I was just joking, why did Teacher Luo take it seriously?"
She leaned back comfortably on the sofa and sighed, "He was so annoying when he was here, but now that he's gone, I feel so much better."
The two were very close, and Leng Yanluo could smell the faint fragrance emanating from her body after her shower.
Her eyes were watery, and her lips were glistening.
His breathing was slightly unsteady, and when he met her gaze, he inexplicably felt a dryness in his throat.
As the room temperature gradually rose, the quiet phone suddenly rang.
She looked and saw it was a WeChat voice message request from Kong Wange.
"My friend, please wait a moment, Teacher Luo."
Leng Yanluo didn't think much of it, nodded, and turned to the kitchen to make her a cup of hot coffee as well.
Kong Wange's voice came through the receiver: "Jingjing, are you busy?"
"No, I'm just lying at home. What's up, Xiaogege? Is there something you need me for?"
I wanted to ask if my brother has contacted you recently?
"Yan Su? No, I've blocked him on all social media platforms, including WeChat, phone, and Weibo. He can't contact me!"
Kong Wange said helplessly, "My brother seems to have disappeared. I haven't been able to contact him for a week. This has never happened before. His phone is off and he doesn't reply to WeChat messages. I'm afraid something has happened to him."
Anjing said nonchalantly, "Heh, what kind of accident could happen to a grown man like him? He's probably busy having a passionate affair with that little white lotus and doesn't want to think about anything else. Don't worry about disturbing their time together."
Kong Wange had only asked An Jing to try her luck, so after hearing what she said, she could only nod and say, "Okay, I understand. I'll go ask someone else."
Just as Kong Wange was about to hang up, Leng Yanluo walked over. He placed the coffee next to Anjing and, seeing her reach for it, quickly said, "It's hot, drink it later."
Anjing said "Oh" and withdrew her hand.
Kong Wange overheard the commotion and, her gossipy nature piqued, immediately asked, "Jingjing, weren't you supposed to be lying at home? Why is there a man with you? Who are you with?"
Remembering that Leng Yanluo forbade her to tell anyone about their relationship, Anjing had no choice but to lie, "Uh, I'm not feeling well, so I asked one of your Yudao Academy teachers to come and take a look at me. You might even know him, his name is..."
Before she could finish speaking, Leng Yanluo snatched her phone and hung up immediately.
Quiet:"?"
"Teacher Luo, what are you doing?" An Jing looked confused, then realized what was going on: "Oh, don't worry, I'm just introducing you, I won't mention our contract."
Leng Yanluo's expression flashed with a hint of unease as he said, "Well... that's not a good idea either. It's just the two of us, a man and a woman alone. What if no one believes you when you say it, and you end up being discovered? People are very gossipy these days, so we'd better be careful!"
