Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When the other fan girls saw that their boss was leaving, they quickly left Huang Lingling’s hotel room and followed after her.
“Some stinky fans can be quite arrogant too.”
Huang Lingling did not realize then that Qian Ge was losing some very important things, especially during this critical time where they were going against Jiang Yuning.
…
As the fan girls rushed out of the four star hotel, they saw the young paparazzo waiting at a corner of the entrance of the hotel.
When the young paparazzo saw the girls helplessly coming out from the four star hotel, he looked at them and said, “Have you been kicked out already? I have already booked a small room for you at a hotel about three hundred metres away from here. I do not understand how you girls can be so fearless and not care about your own safety and wellbeing.”
The few girls stood in front of the entrance of the hotel and looked at the young paparazzo with a shocked expression on their faces. “You…why did you…”
“I am also a fan of another artiste and I pity you girls. Though I am also crazy when I fight and chase after the celebrity that I love, I think that you girls should consider if sacrificing and doing so much for an idol who does not even care about you is worthwhile. Based on the accident that you girls were just in, do you think that any other artiste would just approach the crowd and help you resolve the matter? Moreover, you girls are fans of Qian Ge, who had been bullying my Sister Yuning all these while. Sister Yuning may be a blacklisted artiste in the industry, but she refused to heed my advice and even I could not stop her from approaching and helping you girls.”
“Even right now, I do not really want to offer my help to you because Qian Ge has been bullying Sister Yuning ever since she entered the crew. But forget it…you girls would never have expected this to happen anyway.”
The fan girls quickly accepted the favor from the young paparazzo. At this point in time, it would have basically been impossible for them to be able to book any room for the night without any connections from the crew.
After entering the hotel room with their luggage, the fan girls quickly thanked the young paparazzo for his help. As soon as the young paparazzo left, the fan girls closed the room door and stated crying because of all the grievances they had suffered today.
At that time, the girl who was one of the founders of Qian Ge’s fan club spoke up and said, “I was not kidding when I announced that I would no longer be Qian Ge’s fan. From now, my loyalty stays with Jiang Yuning. What about you guys?”
“Count me in!”
“I must have been blind in the past.”
“What humble and warm sister? That is utterly disgusting! I must have really been blind all this time! I am going to make an announcement that I am officially leaving the fan club.”
“Alright then. Let’s tell the other fans about what we experienced today!”
…
The weather was slightly cold that night because it had been raining.
After was.h.i.+ng up, Jiang Yuning sat on the balcony as she studied her script for her scene the next day. At this time, Lu Jingzhi suddenly pushed the bedroom door open.
Jiang Yuning turned around, and her heart started racing and her mind went blank immediately after she saw the man dressed in a suit walking into the room.
They were already officially husband and wife, but he still had the ability to make her heart skip a beat every time she saw him.
Jiang Yuning quickly put down the script that she had in her hand and ran over to Lu Jingzhi before she jumped directly onto him. She clung tightly onto him as she rested her head on his shoulder and greeted him, “Second brother.”
Lu Jingzhi hugged Jiang Yuning before he sat down on the sofa.
“Second brother, I am already feeling sleepy. Let’s go to bed.”
Lu Jingzhi gently pushed Jiang Yuning away before he looked at her with a serious expression on his face. “No. You have to be punished because you did something wrong today.”
“Second brother…” Jiang Yuning said as she threw herself back into Lu Jingzhi’s arms. She wanted to be coquettish but Lu Jingzhi stopped her immediately.
“Think about what you had done.” At this time, Lu Jingzhi was ruthless because he wanted Jiang Yuning to confess that she was wrong.
Jiang Yuning took the opportunity to hold his arm before she kissed Lu Jingzhi on the cheek and said, “I was wrong. I should not have put myself at risk and fight for someone else’s rights.”
“Then…should I punish you?” Lu Jingzhi continued asking as he looked at Jiang Yuning.
“Yes.” Jiang Yuning placed her palms out in front of Lu Jingzhi and said, “You can hit me but you must be gentle.”
Lu Jingzhi pushed her hand away before he hugged her and whispered in her ear, “I have no interest in hitting your palms. That is why…I want to punish you in some other ways.”
As they had both been extremely busy during this period of time, the only thing that they had done was to sleep together on the same bed every night.
Jiang Yuning leaned forward against Lu Jingzhi and she suddenly realized that he had lost some weight. She quickly said, “Second brother, go home directly and rest well tomorrow. You do not have to come over to find me. I feel bad if you have to rush over here from work every day. You must be exhausted. You can just come here two or three times a week to see me. I will be fine. I promise that I will stay out of trouble.”
“What can you promise me?” Lu Jingzhi asked, as he was obviously already immune whenever Jiang Yuning made a promise.
“Do not do this…” Jiang Yuning whined.
“I know my own limits,” Lu Jingzhi a.s.sured Jiang Yuning as he patted her gently on the back. “Do you need Secretary Ho to deal with the news that is all across the internet?”
“No! No!” Jiang Yuning replied. “I will resolve this matter on my own. Trust me.”
If second brother were to take any action, Jiang Yuning could already predict that Qian Ge would not longer be in the entertainment industry. This was because Lu Jingzhi would always deal harshly with those who bullied her.
“Do not let this matter drag on for too long. Otherwise, I might not be able to endure it any longer.”
After listening to Lu Jingzhi’s words, Jiang Yuning stood up and rubbed his chin. “I know, I know. Stop nagging me like my father.”
“So…if I do not nag you, do you want me to care for someone else instead?”
“Don’t you dare.” Jiang Yuning turned around and glared at Lu Jingzhi immediately.
Lu Jingzhi grinned before he whispered in her ear, “Mrs Lu, my wife is so strict. I would not dare to care for anyone else.”
…
Early the next morning, Jiang Yuning went to the filming location to get ready for her scene. At this time, the young paparazzo quickly ran over to her and whispered secretly, “Sister Yuning, I heard that Director Shen Guobang is already looking for another actress to take on the role of the second female lead.”
“Alright then. You can go ahead and release the news about Qian Ge so that we can protect and defend my cute little fans. I do not want anyone bullying any of my fans,” Jiang Yuning replied calmly.
“Brother Ku Jie has already gathered plenty of material on Qian Ge last night. There will be a good show for us to watch today.”
“Have the fan girls who came over yesterday left already?”
“Yes, I already sent them off,” the young paparazzo snorted. He was clearly unhappy that they were being nice to the enemy’s fans.
“We do not need to involve any of the innocent people in this matter…” After that, Jiang Yuning headed into the dressing room immediately.
In fact, Qian Ge’s fans had successfully stirred up a lot of trouble on the internet for Jiang Yuning because Qian Ge had a large number of fans who were all very powerful and domineering. They spammed the internet every day, questioning whether Jiang Yuning had already apologized to their idol and trending all sorts of hot searches such as #Has replaced their third female lead yet?# There were also many fans who would reprimand Jiang Yuning using all sort of harsh words and foul language.
The entire production crew and cast knew very well whether Qian Ge had really bullied Jiang Yuning or not.
However, no one dared to step up and offend the second female lead just for someone like Jiang Yuning, who was merely playing the role of the third female lead.
Ten minutes later, Huang Lingling and Qian Ge entered the dressing room too. The atmosphere in the dressing room turned extremely tense in a matter of seconds.
“Ge’er, it is okay. Don’t let these people affect your mood. After all, not everyone can be compared to you,” Huang Lingling said as she stood right next to Qian Ge. Huang Lingling sneered as she stared at Jiang Yuning and said, “I wonder what is wrong with the production team nowadays. This matter has already created such a huge commotion on the internet, so why don’t they just replace the third female lead? It is not expensive to replace the third female lead anyway.”
All the makeup artists in the dressing room turned around to look at Huang Lingling.
Perhaps feeling that Huang Lingling’s tone was too harsh, Qian Ge, who had remained silent all this while, finally spoke up and said, “Do not take it too heart. My agent has quite a temper.”
“So? Does that mean that I have to keep enduring it?” Jiang Yuning asked as she glared at Qian Ge with a cold expression on her face.
“Jiang Yuning! Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to our Ge’er in that manner?”
“Is this the right time for you to speak now? Who do you think you are? What right do you have to even speak to me now?” Jiang Yuning asked harshly as she glared at Huang Lingling.
