Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Pei Huai was still waiting for Su Ji’s answer.
He was very patient and did not rush her at all.
But he didn’t let her out of the car.
Su Ji took a closer look at the person in front of her. In terms of looks, he was indeed her type.
If she was allowed to take advantage of him for nothing, she would agree without hesitation.
But if they were to be together…
She hadn’t had enough of her carefree days yet.
But on second thought, he was still the boss of Blue Whale Entertainment. Although he had dug out her grave, from the perspective of minimizing losses, she couldn’t offend him for the time being before she was fully successful and independent.
What kind of tactful reason could she give…
Su Ji’s smart little brain worked quickly, and she found it!
Pei Huai saw her expression of relief and knew what the answer would be.
“Go ahead,” the man chuckled.
He felt quite helpless.
Su Ji replied, “actually, I don’t mind. However, Coach Liu made me promise her not to date anyone from the Pei family!”
Pei Huai furrowed his brows slightly, obviously thinking that this reason was outrageous.
Su Ji felt a little guilty, “I’m serious, it’s her exact words! I didn’t think too much at the time and just agreed to her request!”
His slender fingers slowly tapped on the steering wheel twice. “Who’s Coach Liu?”
“Liu Yiqing…” Su Ji said.
In order to prove that she wasn’t lying, she replied to his question in seconds, but then she realized that something was wrong, “why do you ask?”
“Nothing.” Pei Huai’s lips curled up.
A few minutes later, Pei Huai unlocked the door.
Su Ji quickly got out of the car!

Meanwhile, the staff of various departments in Blue Whale Entertainment were working together to prepare for the press conference of “The Billion Stars”.
The agencies of the lead actors and actresses had already started to help them order their outfits.
There would be many VIPs at the press conference, and the film’s sponsors would also be present.
Pei Xi was in charge of Su Ji, so Su Ji did not have to worry about anything.
Pei Xi knew exactly what dress to wear based on the occasion.
In comparison, Chen Jing was not as calm.
“The Billion Stars” was originally a series with one female lead, but now there were two female leads. Although Su Ji’s role was the second female lead, her screen time was no less than the first female lead’s.
Moreover, the show was incredibly hyped
An episode would be broadcasted every week.
In other words, the director would adjust the script at any time according to the audience’s feedback.
a.s.suming that the audience preferred the second female lead, the second female lead’s scenes would increase, and the ending of the story might even change.
Therefore, Chen Jing’s intentions were clear. They could not let Su Ji steal Zhou Xuefang’s limelight.
She had to let the media know who the first female lead was!
The first thing Chen Jing had to do was to work on the dress. She had already sent someone to find out which dress Pei Xi ordered for Su Ji.
Yes, she was going to steal it!
In the entertainment industry, it was common for different female stars to fancy the same dress, and usually, the brand would leave the dress for the person with the more important role in the show.
This was also one of the ways to a.s.sert dominance.
Su Cunyi hadn’t seen his precious daughter for a long time. He called Su Ji to ask if she was free today, so he asked w.a.n.g Zhicheng to take her home for the day.
w.a.n.g Zhicheng hadn’t seen Su Ji for a long time too. On the way back, he couldn’t stop talking excitedly.
They talked about the trivial things that usually happened in the Su family. w.a.n.g Zhicheng would write down what he found interesting and tell her about it.
Su Ji smiled as she listened. When w.a.n.g Zhicheng was tired, she asked, “how’s the garden?”
“It’s going great, miss. I used to grow flowers in my hometown. I followed your instructions to fertilize them, get rid of the insects, and control the temperature. Now, they’ve grown to a large area.”
“Thank you. That herb is very good for the body. You can pick a few leaves and make tea.”
“Really? I drank some and wondered why my body felt more and more refreshed recently. I saw that there were too many leaves and we couldn’t sell them all. I didn’t want them to go to waste, so I made some tea…”
As he spoke, he freed one hand and took out a thermos.
Nice!
The large thermos was filled to the brim with tea made from the herb!
Fortunately, the friends who usually played chess with Uncle w.a.n.g didn’t recognize the herb. Otherwise, the way he showed off his “wealth” would anger them!
Ning Lihua and Su Qianrou were picking out a dress. When they saw Su Ji enter the room, the two of them looked up at the same time and continued their discussion as if they had not seen her.
“Qianrou, why didn’t you tell me that your sister is back?” Su Cunyi came out of the study.
Su Qianrou then unwillingly raised her head again, “why is she back? I thought she’s forgotten about the family.”
Without waiting for Su Cunyi to speak, Ning Lihua pretended to be a good person, “how can you say that? Your sister is just too busy with work. She’s very popular now. Your father and I are both in good health, so she doesn’t need to come back so often.”
Su Ji smiled. “I’m sorry Aunt Ning, I didn’t come back to see you. I’m just giving my father face.”
Ning Lihua’s expression turned ugly.
Su Qianrou was also furious, “dad, it’s a child’s duty to be filial to their parents. She’s talking to mom like this and you aren’t going to say anything? ”
However, Su Cunyi glanced at her and said, “you and Junye are enough for your mother. You’re already making things difficult for her the moment she comes back. Also, I see that you’re getting closer and closer to Song Heng. He’s your sister’s ex-boyfriend, it’s completely inappropriate that you’re so close to him!”
Su Qianrou was rendered speechless. Even the thick foundation couldn’t hide the redness on her face.
Su Ji went to the living room and sat down. “I don’t mind. I think they’re a good match.”
Su Qianrou’s face turned even uglier!
It wasn’t until Aunt Zou came in that the tense atmosphere eased.
“Madam, Sir, Mr. Song is here. He wants to discuss the script with the second miss!”
Su Qianrou did not care about her father’s scolding. She looked at Song Heng as if he was her Savior, “tell him to wait a moment, I’ll come after I change my clothes!”
Ning Lihua quickly looked at Su Cunyi, “since Su Ji said she doesn’t mind, let them be. You don’t have to worry about it.”
“Su Ji, if you don’t want to see him, you can come to my study…” Su Cunyi frowned and asked Su Ji.
Su Ji crossed her fair and beautiful long legs, a smile on her lips, “why? I should join in the discussion. Qianrou’s scenes are all related to me anyway.”
