Chapter 322: I’d Woo You If You’re A ManTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Xiaojuan blushed, and she felt awkward. She wanted to explain that she had never done ‘it’ with Yan Jianming, but she felt that attempting to cover it up would only make things worse. Since he had looked into her three-year relations.h.i.+p with Yan Jianming, he should have known that certain things would have happened. If she were to mention on purpose that she had not done ‘it’ with Yan Jianming, it would seem as though she was saying it intentionally to please him.
This was not a topic that could be easily brought up. She was ashamed yet anxious. Gu Xie said, “I had originally turned around to ask you for your favorite food. I know some restaurants that serve some great dishes. If there are any certain types of food that you prefer, I can recommend some places.”
She looked up, confused. Just for this?
“Just for this?”
“This is really important!” The Virgo Movie King said. This was their first date, and it was a serious matter. It had to be perfect.
Lin Xiaojuan opened her mouth and said, “I love Hunan cuisine.”
“Okay.” Gu Xie was very satisfied with getting an answer.
Lin Xiaojuan thought for a moment and seemed like she was hesitating. “Please don’t take what I said to heart previously.”
“Nah, I won’t. What’s more, you were right.”
Lin Xiaojuan felt even more awkward. Gu Xie hesitated for a moment and continued. “Xiaojuan, you don’t have to be so careful around me. Just be yourself.”
She was hesitant. It was a rare thing to realize that the Movie King liked her. She was initially uncomfortable and was even more unable to be herself.
“In my eyes, everything that you do is perfect,” Gu Xie said. “The one being favored has nothing to worry about.”
The person who should be careful and hesitant before any action should be me, not you!
Lin Xiaojuan returned to the hospital ward and could hear the laughter of the mother and son. The two of them were snuggling in bed, watching a comedy film. When she returned, the two of them looked equally nosy. Tong Hua asked, “Aunt Xiaojuan, why did you take so long?”
“I met Yan Jianming,” Lin Xiaojuan said. She told them everything that had happened, and Shen Qianshu furrowed her eyebrows. “This person is like a housefly. Gross.”
Tong Hua squinted and said, “There’s nothing much he can do to rise up again. The entertainment industry is always changing. If a person does not have any works or productions in one or two years, everyone forgets him. Nothing works no matter what he does. Gu Xie will not let him rise again.”
Shen Qianshu looked at Lin Xiaojuan and saw that her expression was rather hesitant. She asked hurriedly, “What’s wrong? Don’t you like Gu Xie?”
“It’s not exactly ‘like,’ but… I just find it really strange. Why would Gu Xie… fall for me?”
“Why are you belittling yourself? If I’m a man, I’d woo you.”
“Mommy, don’t let Mr. Jealousy hear this.”
“…” Shen Qianshu stared at Tong Hua.
Lin Xiaojuan laughed and thought that it was strange. Why hasn’t Ye Ling come to visit Tong Hua?
She had been here for a day too and they had not seen Ye Ling. “Why hasn’t Ye Ling come to visit Tong Hua?”
“He hates me!”
Lin Xiaojuan was in great shock as if she found it unbelievable. “Who would hate such a cutie pie like you? Qianshu, you have to kick him away.”
Tong Hua nodded as if he knew a lot. Right, kick him away.
Shen Qianshu touched her head awkwardly. “We’re not a thing.”
“That’s great. Tong Hua had tried to look for a match for you in the whole nation.” Lin Xiaojuan thought, How could she marry someone who hates their precious child? Not even dating. All of Qianshu’s exes’ first mission was to please Tong Hua.
Shen Qianshu was about to say something when her phone vibrated. It was a message from Ye Ling.
Ye Ling: Come down now!
Shen Qianshu hesitated for a moment. Master is downstairs?
The fever on Tong Hua had just gone away, and she was still worried. Lin Xiaojuan said, “Qianshu, you have not returned home for an entire day. Let me accompany Tong Hua for the night. You should go home, take a nice shower, and get a good rest.”
