Chapter 592: Captain Hindsight
When Ling Sheng received Jun Shiyan’s call, she was eating with Huo Xuanzhou at a famous local BBQ shop. The lamb chops had just been served on the table. While chewing, she answered the call. “I’m already eating. Yes, with Huo Xuanzhou.”
Jun Shiyan asked, “Is there anything you want to tell me?”
Ling Sheng said, “Yes, the roast meat here is really delicious. You have to come and try it. Oh, sorry. You can’t eat it. Why don’t you come tomorrow? I’ll eat, and you can watch.”
Jun Shiyan said, “Student Ling, I’m asking you a question. Please mind your att.i.tude.”
Ling Sheng sat upright like a primary school student in cla.s.s. She put down the lamb chop reluctantly. “Teacher Jun, what do you want me to say?”
Jun Shiyan asked, “Did filming go smoothly this morning?”
Ling Sheng said, “It went very smoothly.”
Upon seeing her strict look, Huo Xuanzhou looked down on her. Look, look. She was knocked out from eating too much. What kind of drug had that sc.u.mbag Third Master Jun fed her? She was as obedient as a puppy.
Jun Shiyan asked, “Did something happen that you didn’t want to tell me?”
Upon hearing this, Ling Sheng knew that someone in the film crew must have leaked this information. Someone had snitched and told him about the holes in her soles. Her eyes drooped. “Yes, I suffered a small injury.”
Jun Shiyan asked, “A small injury?”
Ling Sheng chuckled. “It might be a little more than that. It’s already been handled. It’s alright. How’s business going on your side?”
Jun Shiyan said, “Don’t try to change the subject. I’m asking you something.”
Ling Sheng pouted and scratched her nose. In a soft voice, she said, “I’m just a little injured. You’ll know I’m not lying if you take a look.”
Jun Shiyan asked, “Where are you?”
Ling Sheng was about to report the address obediently.
Huo Xuanzhou s.n.a.t.c.hed the phone and let out a cold snort. “How is that any of your business, Captain Hindsight?”
Then, he hung up immediately.
Ling Sheng’s face darkened as she reached out to s.n.a.t.c.h the phone. “What are you doing?”
Huo Xuanzhou, who was very unhappy, bellowed at her, “Are you that afraid of him?”
He could not bear to see her carefully trying to please him. That sc.u.mbag Jun Shiyan. What right did he have to make her please him? She had spoken gently to him and even coaxed him!
“Since when am I afraid of him?” Ling Sheng frowned, not knowing if she should call him again. “This is called mutual respect. This is a little fun between couples. A heartless sc.u.mbag like you wouldn’t understand.”
He had never had feelings for any woman, so he naturally did not know how she felt in a pa.s.sionate relationship!
“What do you mean I wouldn’t understand? Just tell me, what don’t I understand?” Huo Xuanzhou’s handsome face darkened from anger. He was displeased with her gentle att.i.tude toward another man.
“Have you ever loved someone deeply?” Ling Sheng gave him a disdainful look, picked up the lamb chop again, and continued chewing. No matter what happened, she could not treat her stomach unfairly. It was her first priority!
Huo Xuanzhou frowned so hard that the wrinkles on his forehead could probably kill a fly. “If falling in love would make me like you, I’d rather I never fall in love.”
Ling Sheng smiled at him and pretended to be nonchalant. “You’d better remember your words. Be careful, or you’ll end up like my father in the future. You won’t even have a shoulder to cry on if you regret it.”
“Isn’t your father living quite a good life?” The person Huo Xuanzhou envied the most in his life was Sixth Uncle, who lived a free, unrestrained life.
“Only he knows if it’s good or not.” Ling Sheng shook her head and sighed. “Really, Huo Xuanzhou, let me advise you. Don’t be a sc.u.mbag. There’s no medicine for regret in this world.”
