Ji Zhixian was already waiting there.
“What’s wrong?” Ji Zhixian, unsure how to face her, had initially planned to be aloof, but seeing her uneasy expression, he couldn’t help but worry, “Has something happened?”
“It seems someone is following me,” Lin Xiaoman steadied her voice, “I’ll need to be careful lately.”
“I’ll have someone investigate. Don’t worry too much,” Ji Zhixian’s voice softened.
“Does that include booking billboards for support?” Lin Xiaoman smiled, observing his expression.
Ji Zhixian was slightly stunned. He hadn’t intended to let her know, but she had guessed.
Ji Zhixian composed himself and said seriously, “I promised to help you reach the top of the entertainment industry, so how could I lose in terms of support?
“You’re amazing,” Lin Xiaoman went with the flow, then was surprised to see Ji Zhixian’s face turning slightly red.
Ji Zhixian, known for his cold and expressionless demeanor, was actually blushing.
Lin Xiaoman felt playful: “Your ears are so red.”
“What was that about being followed?” Ji Zhixian changed the subject.
“I didn’t expect you to be so bad at taking compliments. So cute.”
“Did you call me out just to say these boring things?” Ji Zhixian was somewhat embarrassed, but whenever he met her smiling gaze, he felt inexplicably warm.
“I’ll take you back.”
“This is very important,” Lin Xiaoman put on a serious expression, “I’ll remember everything anyone does for me.”
“No need.”
“I’ll repay you.”
“No need. I’m just doing what I should. You just need to do what you should.”
“Play the role of cousin?”
“Don’t spread rumors.”
Ji Zhixian was annoyed just thinking about the number of couple fans about her online.
“I thought you were already very familiar with my professionalism,” Lin Xiaoman blinked innocently. “You not trusting me makes things difficult.”
“Better be like that.” Ji Zhixian avoided her gaze but still asked, “Weren’t you supposed to go over the script tonight?”
“Weren’t you supposed to have a meeting?”
Just excuses.
Ji Zhixian realized.
His heart, which had been suppressed for a long time, suddenly felt like a spring released, soaring to the clouds. He couldn’t help but curl his mouth: “Don’t blame me for not warning you. Huo Qizhi is not a good person.”
