After leaving the movie premiere, it was already close to 10 PM.
"You head back first, I’ve got social engagents to attend." Tonight, it was the celebration banquet hosted by the production team, and with Ye Cheng’s status and reputation in the entertainnt industry, he had to attend.
Zii didn’t reveal any disappointnt. She smiled charmingly and nodded, "No problem, I drove myself here, it’s easy for to get back."
"Mm." Ye Cheng said, "Be careful on the road."
"A Cheng, you’re overthinking. I’m not the kind of woman anyone can easily take advantage of." Confidence and determination shimred in Zii’s alluring brows and eyes.
Ye Cheng paused in mild surprise.
That’s true. She was used to navigating both the legitimate and shadowy sides of society, and she possibly knew better than he did how to deal with troublemakers.
Her sparkling eyes looked at him, "By the way, A Cheng, when are we eting next?"
Snapping out of his thoughts, he replied casually, "I’m flying to France soon, won’t be back for half a month."
"Then I’ll co to the airport to pick you up on the day you return."
Her reaction was natural, her tone laced with a hint of joy, as if picking him up at the airport was the most ordinary thing to do.
"Suit yourself."
Knowing that rejecting her wouldn’t make any difference, Ye Cheng simply let her be. After all, tonight had been full of unexpected monts; one more wouldn’t make much difference.
"It’s settled then, no backing out!"
While speaking, Zii blinked mischievously and offered her pinky finger to him.
A pinky promise?
Juvenile, much...
With a faintly helpless expression, Ye Cheng stretched out his hand. As their pinky fingers hooked, the woman leaned in closer, her delicate and beautiful face drawing near. Her fiery red lips landed a kiss on his cheek.
The unexpected kiss left him completely stunned.
Ye Cheng stood there in a daze, watching the srizing woman walk away in high heels. After a long mont, he slowly reached up to touch the spot where she had kissed.
His fingertips brushed against a faint trace of lipstick, as though her essence still lingered...
...
The following morning
The pregnant Ji Wei had been unusually drowsy. By the ti she woke up, she realized Gu Moqian had already gone to work.
She had no choice but to head downstairs alone for breakfast.
Before she finished eating, a sharp and stylish silhouette appeared at the entrance to the living room.
"Why are you here?" Ji Wei asked in mild surprise.
Jin Xin walked straight over, pulled out a chair, and sat down, her expression slightly awkward as she said, "I’m here to be your little assistant. Is that so strange?"
Ji Wei was stunned for a mont before recalling that yes, such an arrangent had indeed been made.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Starting today, you don’t need to co anymore." Ji Wei offered a polite smile of apology.
Jin Xin looked a bit surprised but then replied, "Well, since I’m already here, I’ll reluctantly be your sidekick for one more day."
Ji Wei couldn’t help but chuckle softly and asked, "Have you had breakfast yet?"
Jin Xin touched her stomach.
She had stayed up late writing the previous night and rushed over early this morning, leaving no ti for breakfast.
Ji Wei noticed her movent and promptly asked Aunt Zhu to bring out another serving of breakfast.
Presented with an array of delicious dishes, Jin Xin didn’t hold back and imdiately started eating. After a while, she seed to rember sothing and pulled a docunt from her bag, placing it on the table.
"This is the report I worked through the night to write. It’s a clarification of the previous controversial leaks." Jin Xin said while swallowing a bite of egg, "Take a look and let know if there’s anything that needs modifying. After that, I’ll publish it online and in the newspapers."
Ji Wei picked up the docunt and skimd through it briefly before handing it back to her.
"How do you know the audio I gave you is authentic?" Ji Wei asked with a faint smile.
Jin Xin froze for a mont and replied, "Could it be fake?"
"That audio is indeed Lin Qian’s own words, and it’s enough to prove my innocence." Ji Wei looked at her, "But if there weren’t this piece of evidence, would you still want to defend ?"
Jin Xin remained silent.
"Sotis people are falsely accused even without possessing evidence. Does that an they deserve to be attacked and vilified?" Ji Wei asked lightly, her smile unwavering.
Jin Xin was rendered speechless, her lips pressed tightly together, unable to find any words to refute her point.
