Jing Yao could hear the emotions in Zhu Ling’s words and her heart ached. She had never seen Zhu Ling like this.
Zhu Ling had always been energetic. Back then, when the two of them were at Stardust, they were suppressed by their superiors and ostracized by their colleagues. At that time, Zhu Ling would still comfort her with a smile every day, spinning continuously like a top that would not stop, winning her a lot of resources.
At that time, her psychological barrier was at its worst. She kept feeling that her heart was covered in dense shadows, and everything she saw was dim. She didn’t know what she would have done without Zhu Ling.
“Lingling, I’ll come to the studio to find you now,” Jing Yao said as she lifted the blanket and prepared to get up.
Liang Xun’s eyelids twitched. How could he let Jing Yao go out in such weather? The road was so slippery. He would regret it for the rest of his life if Jing Yao fell.
Zhu Ling, who was on the other end of the phone, was also frightened by Jing Yao. She hurriedly said, “No, no, no. Ancestor, what are you thinking? I’m really fine. Why are you going out in this weather? You don’t have to come over. 1 can settle it myself. I’ll call Shen Yu immediately after the cell phone is charged. We’ll discuss it ourselves. Is that okay?”
Jing Yao did not answer immediately. She instinctively glanced at Liang Xun and met his worried and vigilant gaze.
She looked at her protruding abdomen and calmed down.
However, she was still worried about Zhu Ling. She said to Zhu Ling, “Alright, have a good talk with Shen Yu. However, don’t force yourself. No matter what decision you make, I’ll support you.”
Zhu Ling lost all her emotions and hurriedly agreed.
After hanging up, she returned to her office and turned on her cell phone to call Shen Yu.
The moment the call went through, Shen Yu heaved a sigh of relief. “You’re finally willing to contact me.”
Zhu Ling felt a little upset when she heard his hoa.r.s.e voice. “I didn’t say that we won’t contact each other in the future. I’m just telling you not to contact each other for the time being.”
Shen Yu was silent for a moment before asking, “Are you still worried about being exposed?”
Zhu Ling didn’t say anything. She was fine herself and wasn’t a public figure, but if Shen Yu’s relationship was exposed, his career would be severely damaged.
The entertainment industry was such a place. It looked glorious, but one actually lost a lot, such as freedom.
“If our pictures are really taken, let’s make it public. My brother and sister-in-law have received blessings since they made it public. We—”
“We’re different.” Zhu Ling interrupted him. “You should know very well that Yaoyao is a small celebrity. Publicity doesn’t affect her much, but you’re different. There will be a lot of pressure for you to publicize.”
After Zhu Ling finished speaking, she did not hear Shen Yu.
She paused for a moment and continued, “Let’s wait for things to quieten down for a while. Too many people have been staring at you recently… Also, I didn’t ignore you on purpose this morning. At that time, I saw someone hiding in the corner behind you.”
Shen Yu finally felt more at ease. He thought that Zhu Ling really didn’t want to talk to him anymore.
“Then let’s go out for dinner tonight. I know a very delicious private restaurant…”
“Are you still going out?” Zhu Ling said coldly.
“Alright, I won’t go.” Shen Yu felt extremely aggrieved. Why was his sister-in-law so gentle in front of his brother, but Zhu Ling was so cold to him?
No, he couldn’t say that. He liked people like Zhu Ling, who was cold and cute.
After that, the two of them said a few more words. They had completely reconciled, but they could not see each other recently.
Shen Yu knew that Zhu Ling called him because of Jing Yao, so he called his brother to thank him.
He didn’t call Jing Yao directly because he knew that his brother was jealous of everyone.
Liang Xun didn’t know how to describe his feelings when he heard Shen Yu ask him to convey his grat.i.tude to Jing Yao.
Jing Yao tried to persuade Zhu Ling not to reconcile with him and break up with him.
Of course, there was no need to tell Shen Yu these.
Liang Xun accepted Shen Yu’s grat.i.tude without changing his expression. He casually said a few words and hung up.
Jing Yao was listening to him on the phone. She looked happier than anyone else when she heard that the two of them had reconciled, as if she wasn’t the one who had persuaded him to break up just now.
Liang Xun could not help but say, “I thought you wanted the two of them to be separated.”
Jing Yao glared at him. “How is that possible? Am 1 such a vicious person? 1 just don’t want to put any psychological pressure on Lingling. Besides, if she really wanted to break up with Shen Yu, she would have done it long ago. She’s so conflicted. It means that she can’t bear to.”
Liang Xun nodded and said sarcastically, “You know her quite well.”
Jing Yao:”… Mr. Liang, being jealous of anything is not good for your physical and mental health..”
