Xu Beishen kept struggling as Xu Liangzhou held her under the water and she finally gathered the strength to push him away. “Brother!”
“Do you think that you look like a member of the Xu family now?” Xu Liangzhou asked as he held her arm tightly. “I have already told you so many times that Jingzhi does not love you. He does not even remember how you look like! In fact, the only reason he has even replied to you is because you are my sister. He is only giving face to me on account of our friendship. Beishen, could you please just divert your attention elsewhere?”
“Brother…I just cannot forget him!”
“He is already married and he is very happy right now. If you still regard me as your older brother, then please stop bothering him already. Xu Beishen, there are some harsh words that I have to say to you before you decide to do anything stupid. It has not been an easy journey but after going through so much difficulties, Jingzhi has finally found his own happiness. He is finally together with the love of his life. I will not allow anyone to destroy or interfere with his happiness, even if that person is my own sister. If I find out that you are attempting to do something to damage his relationship, I will definitely break your legs! What’s the big deal? I will simply help you to fix your legs after everything passes. Stop being a fool and go to bed now!” Xu Liangzhou said furiously as he dragged Xu Beishen out of the bathroom and threw her in front of her bedroom door.
Xu Beishen sat on the ground as she covered her face with her hands and wept. After a short while, she grabbed Xu Liangzhou’s leg and said, “Brother, just tell me. Tell me who she is so that I can finally let go of him.”
“You want me to tell you who she is so that you can try to hurt her?”
“I just want to know who the person that Brother Lu loves is…I just want to know what kind of person she is and how she looks like.”
…
Early the next morning, Yao Fan and Song Chenxing returned to the filming location.
When Jiang Yuning saw Song Chenxing patiently helping Yao Fan out of the car, she secretly hoped that some romance would have sparked between both of them.
Jiang Yuning quickly ran over to the both of them and shouted, “Teacher, how are you feeling?”
Yao Fan blushed and quickly replied. “Go away!”
“Teacher, you can leave Sister Fan to me now. The makeup artists are already looking for you,” Jiang Yuning quickly told Song Chenxing as she let out a cough.
Song Chenxing did not deny anything. Did that mean that he was admitting their relationship?
“Alright then. Make sure you take good care of her.”
Jiang Yuning quickly made an okay gesture at him.
The both of them waited until Song Chenxing had already walked away before Jiang Yuning held Yao Fan’s hand excitedly because she could not wait to gossip.
“So, what happened between both of you last night?”
“He held my hands!” Yao Fan replied excitedly. “If I knew that this would happen and help escalate things between me and Chenxing, I would have fallen into the well earlier. I am not even going to wash my hands at all today.”
“And, he did not even deny anything when I addressed him as teacher,” Jiang Yuning exclaimed.
Jiang Yuning looked at Yao Fan who was still feeling very excited and she felt as though she was looking at her past self. When she had a crush on Lu Jingzhi in the past, she was also excited and happy for a long time whenever the other party gave a positive response to her.
“If my agency finds out about this, I am going to be in a lot of trouble. But who cares about it anymore? If I love him, I am going to be with him!” Yao Fan said as she patted her cheeks lightly, trying to hide the redness on her face. Her love and affection for Song Chenxing was obvious to anyone who could see her right now.
“All the best! If you face any difficulties, your little disciple will also step up to help you!” Jiang Yuning said as she patted herself on the chest to cheer for Yao Fan.
Jiang Yuning could tell that there was already a change in how Song Chenxing felt for Yao Fan.
This was especially proven because for the next few days, Jiang Yuning could clearly see the sparks fly between the two of them whenever they had to film a scene together.
It was a pity that the good days were always so short.
The day finally came where Jiang Yuning finally finished shooting all of her scenes for the role of Lin Ping’er. That night, the production crew prepared a bouquet of flowers and a cake for Jiang Yuning to officially celebrate and announce the end of the character, Lin Ping’er.
That night, Yao Fan and Zhang Yitong were both sobbing as they hugged Jiang Yuning.
“My little disciple, you are finally free! Your character, Lin Ping’er, was really amazing.”
“Little Ningzi, I will never make fun of your acting skills or call you a 4.0 rated actress anymore.”
Little Ningzi was the nickname that Zhang Yitong had given Jiang Yuning. This was because Jiang Yuning got along so well with everyone in the crew and she would always offer her help and guidance to anyone who needed it. Therefore, in a way, Jiang Yuning was like a eunuch who was in control of everything around the palace. That was why Zhang Yitong decided to give her that nickname.
“Okay, both of you can go ahead and start fighting now.”
It was already the last few days of the shoot and both Yao Fan and Zhang Yitong were now fighting for the position of the crown prince’s wife.
“Seriously though, you have played the role of Lin Ping’er really well,” Yao Fan said as she refused to let go and continued holding onto Jiang Yuning. “You are really a very precious disciple to both Chenxing and I.”
“Little Ningzi, make sure you keep in touch with me!”
“Yuning, it is already time to leave.” Vera, who was standing not too far away from them, opened the car door and urged Jiang Yuning to leave already. According to their schedule, Jiang Yuning had to return to Luo City that night because she would have to take a publicity photo the next day for the variety show that she would be participating in. Subsequently, she would also have to attend an interview and participate in the promotional activities for the variety show in the next few days.
Jiang Yuning hugged the two actress one last time before she bid farewell to the other veteran actors and production crew. She then quickly ran to the black car that was already waiting for her.
To her surprise, Lu Jingzhi was waiting in the car for her.
“Second brother…didn’t I ask you not to come here today? I will already be home in a short while!”
“I wanted to celebrate with you too,” Lu Jingzhi replied as he took the bouquet of flowers from her hand and placed it by his feet. He then gently wiped the bloodstain on the corner of Jiang Yuning’s mouth. “Why didn’t you clean yourself up before you started taking pictures?”
“It is okay. I trust the editing team to fix the picture for me,” Jiang Yuning replied confidently.
“Alright, let’s go home.”
Jiang Yuning had already been away from home for more than three months and she felt as though she could barely remember how the house looked like now. When they finally arrived at the Royal Dragon Villa, Jiang Yuning felt a sense of nostalgia.
“Mistress! You are home!” Sister Liang had heard that Jiang Yuning would be coming home that night and she had already prepared a scrumptious supper for Jiang Yuning while waiting for her to come home.
“Sister Liang!” Jiang Yuning greeted as she hugged Sister Liang.
“Make sure you have a good rest tonight. You can sleep in tomorrow and I will come and pick you up at noon so that we can go and have your publicity photo taken in the afternoon. Make sure to rest well because you need to look fresh tomorrow,” Vera quickly informed Jiang Yuning before she left the villa.
“Alright, I got it.” Jiang Yuning could barely keep her eyes open.
When Lu Jingzhi saw this, he hugged Jiang Yuning and quickly asked Sister Liang and Vera to leave the villa.
Lu Jingzhi then brought Jiang Yuning to the dining table before he said, “Vera told me that you did not eat anything during dinner. You have to eat something now.”
“But I don’t feel like eating,” Jiang Yuning whined as she shook her head. “I have started to feel really sleepy as soon as I got home.”
After listening to Jiang Yuning’s words, Lu Jingzhi got up and carried Jiang Yuning before he sat her down on his lap. He then picked up a pair of chopsticks and offered to feed her personally. “Or…would you like me to feed you in another manner?”
“Of course, I want that…” Jiang Yuning was immediately awake as soon as she heard Lu Jingzhi’s offer.
“Dream on.” Lu Jingzhi was helpless as he placed his arms around Jiang Yuning’s waist. “I have really spoiled you, huh?”
“Second brother, I want to drink some soup…”
Lu Jingzhi had no other way to deal with her. Therefore, he took a sip of the soup that was on the table and held it in his mouth before he held Jiang Yuning’s face in his hand and fed her directly through his mouth.
Slurp. Slurp.
Jiang Yuning thought that the soup tasted extra delicious and she could feel the softness of second brother’s lips as they rubbed against her own.
“More! I want more!”
“Don’t you have your own hands?”
“No. My hands are missing,” Jiang Yuning replied immediately as she hid her hands behind her back.
Lu Jingzhi stared into Jiang Yuning’s bright and dazzling eyes and although he knew she was just being lazy, he could not help but to want to pamper and satisfy all her desires.
Why else would she be his wife then?
“Second brother, I really love you so much. Do you know that?”
Lu Jingzhi was stunned and his body froze when he heard that sudden confession. “What did you just say?”
