Chapter 1221 – Alright, I Agree To I
of course, it wasn’t that they genuinely did not want those props anymore. lin che was merely letting them know that it was easier to call up an evil spirit than to allay it.
since they had taken the props, it would not be easy for them to put them back.
as expected, they begged for forgiveness the whole time they were outside waiting. they were finally informed after a long time that they could go after putting the props down. afterward, they hastily ran off with their tail between their legs.
after returning to the set, they were even berated by starlight for embarra.s.sing the company for no reason at all.
to begin with, things had been very tense between the two companies for some time. but look at the situation now. they had been suppressed to a large degree in such a short time.
“we didn’t expect a little girl like lin che to be so unforgiving.”
“exactly. she wasn’t afraid that we would actually take those props away,” they complained after going back.
someone said, “isn’t it because she has gu jingyu to support her? you guys didn’t think it through either. you chose to look for trouble when gu jingyu was around. why didn’t you think about who would dare offend gu jingyu?”
in any case, they had run into a wall abruptly this time. for a long time after their return, they didn’t dare to have any more run-ins with lin che’s production crew.

su wan looked at gu jingyu from outside. she wanted to approach him but worried about it for some time.
gu jingyu’s a.s.sistant was presently looking at her. seeing that su wan was here, he even wanted to chase her away.
“don’t loiter around here. can’t you see that jingyu is inside?”
everyone in the production crew probably knew that gu jingyu did not like talking to people. when he was not the one initiating conversation, it was useless for anyone to approach him and speak to him no matter who it was.
su wan said, “oh. okay then…”
she was just about to turn around when gu jingyu came.
“let her in.”
the a.s.sistant pointed to su wan. “let, let her in?”
“hn.”
the a.s.sistant glanced at su wan meaningfully.
what was special about this woman?
gu jingyu looked at su wan. “is anything the matter?”
su wan said, “this piece of clothing…” she handed the clothes over to him and continued, “the last time, i accidentally left while wearing this.”
gu jingyu swept his eyes over it. then, he reached his hand out to take it from her. however, he tossed it straight into the garbage bin at the side.
su wan froze. she frantically stooped down to pick it up. “what are you doing?”
how could he casually throw away something so expensive?
however, before she could stand up, he had already gripped her wrist.
he slowly moved his face closer to hers.
outside, his a.s.sistant was nearly shocked out of his wits. when he saw gu jingyu facing su wan in such close proximity as if they were about to kiss, he was so frightened that he hastily pulled down the blinds. he looked at the people outside and did not allow anyone to get close.
inside.
su wan could not help but blush. as she looked into gu jingyu’s abysmal eyes, which were so black and so big… she felt as if she was going to be sucked in.
she took in a deep breath, feeling a bit oxygen-deprived.
gu jingyu asked, “how do you plan to return me the money for today?”
what?
su wan asked, “the money?”
“you broke the prop. don’t you need to pay for it?”
indeed, she had to…
su wan’s throat immediately closed up. she understood that it was a huge sum of money that she definitely could not afford to pay. now, gu jingyu had helped her pay it. but she could not let just gu jingyu pay without returning him the money either.
she looked at gu jingyu. “in that case, why don’t i work for you and slowly return you the money?”
“sorry, i don’t have much patience to wait for a few thousand dollars a month,” he said.
“so, you…”
“i won’t ask you for the money. but you must keep me company for a hundred days.”
“…”
su wan said, “you’re doing this on purpose!”
gu jingyu was very frank about it too. “you can consider it deliberate on my part indeed. but you can’t pay back the money you owe me now either. why don’t…” he immediately moved slightly closer to her. “why don’t i make public the fact that you begged for my help? at that time, take a guess about whether you’ll end up in a miserable state.”
su wan’s face turned deathly pale.
gu jingyu said, “a hundred days. think about it on your own. if you agree, i’ll let you move in tonight. otherwise, i’ll release the news right now.”
gu jingyu was about to walk outside while saying this.
“hey.”
su wan quickly pulled him back. “don’t go.”
“so, you agree?” gu jingyu turned his head back.
su wan merely looked at him. could she disagree even if she wanted to?
“but there’s someone else i like. doesn’t it bother you?”
hearing this, gu jingyu scoffed internally. so she liked someone else?
very good, very good…
he said, “after a hundred days, you can look for the person you like. but now, you belong to me only.”
“then, can you guarantee that you won’t bother me again after a hundred days?”
gu jingyu nodded. “do you think i’ll still want to bother you after a hundred days?”
“…”
su wan knew that she was thinking too much.
she nodded. “alright. i agree with it.”
gu jingyu had someone he liked too. but all rich people were probably the same.
she felt a bit disgusted. but how could she dare to let people know about her relations.h.i.+p with gu jingyu?
if they found out, she would not be able to make anything of herself in this industry for the rest of her life.
she had not even graduated from the drama academy. there was no way she could resign herself to giving up just like this and walking another path.
the expression on gu jingyu’s face finally relaxed. he looked at her and said, “i’ll go to your dorm tonight to pick you up.”
“ah… no need. tell me the address and i’ll go over.”
“i said that i would pick you up, so i will. just wait.”
“…”
su wan knew that she was not in a position to say anything, so she had no choice but to quietly shut her mouth.

kg’s entire team was currently busying about.
the game had ended its beta testing and had officially launched. they heaved a sigh of relief before they immediately started busying about again.
everyone went for a dinner gathering that night. they had found a pretty good restaurant outside to eat and drink their fill this time. they considered it their day off and would continue working tomorrow.
kai sheng allocated a few more staff to them. their own studio was planning to hire a few more employees to help out with other miscellaneous matters.
the business had started up so quickly and at such a high level of success. the university students all felt so buoyant at the moment, finding it hard to believe.
after they drank until they were in a state of confusion.
they then headed to their respective homes.
those who lived in b city were planning to head straight home, while the others still had to go back to the dorm.both chen hui and crooked neck were b city locals, but crooked neck could not be bothered to go home. chen hui took the subway home alone. although he now had taken quite a lot of money ever since the game had gone online, he did not have much savings. he had not had time to deal with other things either and so he did not have a car yet.
after taking the subway and reaching his house, he had yet to go upstairs when he suddenly saw a flashy blue maserati parked at the side.
chen hui’s eyes lit up. he sighed to himself in awe, wondering when he would be able to buy one.
just then, he saw someone walk out from behind the car.
“is the car beautiful?”
chen hui was a bit drunk. shocked, he turned around and asked, “who… who are you?”
the person who had approached him was a woman dressed in office wear. “if you like the car, i’ll give it to you.”
