Before Jiang Mian could say much more, Fu Sichen interrupted her sowhat disordered thoughts, "Because of my mother."
!!!
Jiang Mian looked toward the man beside her, the depth of his dark pupils unable to hide the suppressed emotions he was feeling at the mont.
For the first ti.
She heard of a relative other than his grandfather.
Since they had registered their marriage, he had never ntioned his parents. He only said he lived with his grandfather, and at that ti, his grandfather was also abroad.
Jiang Mian hadn’t taken it to heart particularly and had not asked about it afterward.
"Then... Where is she now?"
Fu Sichen’s thin lips barely curved into a smile, "She’s gone."
"How did you from..."
Jiang Mian realized she was becoming anxious and imdiately stopped herself.
The drone was still circling overhead, and she reached out to remove both Fu Sichen’s and her own earpiece.
After turning off the receiver, she casually set it aside.
Hmm???
Fu Sichen didn’t understand her actions at once, "Jiang Mian, what are you..."
"I don’t want them to know, at the very least, this is your deepest secret."
!!!!
A flash of surprise flickered across Fu Sichen’s eyes.
Jiang Mian looked up at the drone; she and Director Xu could fool around as much as they wanted, but she did not want the things Fu Sichen was sharing to beco the focus of the show’s popularity.
Her voice was soft, falling gently in Fu Sichen’s ear.
He stared at the woman’s beautiful profile, her long eyelashes appearing especially soft under the moonlight, and her slightly parted lips were irresistible.
Fu Sichen suddenly laughed, "But I want you to know, I want you to know everything about ."
Jiang Mian looked at Fu Sichen, and as their eyes t, the temperature between them seed to rise slightly.
She didn’t speak, just stared at those dark eyes, full of tenderness and indulgence.
Fu Sichen...
toward herself...
Jiang Mian shook her head, probably she was overthinking it.
His gaze softened so affectionately; he could even give a dog a tender look.
"I’m sorry, Jiang Mian, I have many secrets."
Jiang Mian was confused, her face brimming with a smile, "Why so serious all of a sudden, there’s nothing to be sorry about, everyone has secrets, and I have them too, so we’re even."
Why did it feel like Fu Sichen suddenly beca sentintal? It was she who wanted to hear his story.
She hadn’t expected to make Fu Sichen go emo on her.
Just as Jiang Mian was about to lighten the mood, focusing on sothing happier, his crisp, low voice sounded again, "Apart from my grandfather, I have no family."
...
The persistent chirping of cicadas in the forest, the whoosh of the breeze, now and then rustling the branches and leaves.
The two of them, as if by tacit agreent, fell silent, lost in the nightscape.
Director Xu in the production room was getting anxious.
Compared to the other couples—chatting, watching the night sky, or even going on adventures—it was their peaceful existence, not disturbing one another, that stood out.
"What are those two doing! They were the noisiest in the morning, now they’ve gone emo at night??"
"And what are they talking about, Jiang Mian even took off her mic!!"
Director Xu wished he could fly over there and fix their mics, or get the drone closer to pick up the audio.
It was too frustrating to sense the gossip just out of reach but not be able to consu it.
"No, that’s not right! Fu Sichen."
"Hmm?"
Fu Sichen’s gaze had never left the woman beside him.
Jiang Mian’s tone was light, "You have a family, my ho is your ho, and we should be a small family by now, I guess."
Thinking her words weren’t quite right, she softly added, "Even though it might be a marriage of convenience."
