Chapter 66: Differences in Philosophy
ng Chao’s agent usually wouldn’t disturb him during his breaks. Over the past half month, which was deed ng Chao’s downti, the agent hadn’t co by.
If it weren’t for today’s need to take ng Chao to the film set for his new project, he wouldn’t have found out that ng Chao and Lin Qin were already living together!!!
When ng Chao worked, he didn’t like having too many people around him. During the recording of "We Are Together," his agent wasn’t by his side, only hearing from ng Chao’s assistant that ng Chao and Lin Qin seed to be together.
Of course, the agent had previously caught wind of ng Chao’s intention to pursue a relationship with Lin Qin. Back then, he’d expressed strong opposition. What a joke. ng Chao was in the midst of his rising career; if a romantic relationship were to be exposed, the harm would far outweigh the benefits for him.
During the filming of "We Are Together," ng Chao and Lin Qin appeared very chummy, but the agent assud it was just publicity hype orchestrated by the show for their CP pairing.
Who would have thought ng Chao would actually take things seriously and even bring Lin Qin ho? This was unacceptable to the agent!
ng Chao ignored the agent’s outburst. He pulled Lin Qin close and smiled, saying, "I was just planning to inform you: Lin Qin and I are dating." After a mont’s thought, he added, "Dating with marriage in mind."
The nation had long since legalized sa-sex marriage—they were indeed heading toward marriage.
Though ng Chao’s tone was calm, upon closer listening, one could detect a slight depth in his voice—a warning to the agent about what should and shouldn’t be said.
ng Chao had his own studio and was its boss; the so-called agent was rely nominal. If ng Chao wanted to, he could dismiss the agent at any ti.
The agent knew he held no authority in ng Chao’s presence. Quickly realizing he had overstepped, he promptly softened his expression, concealing any disapproval and anger, and beca subservient, saying, "Shall I escort Mr. Lin back?"
What the agent didn’t know was that Lin Qin and ng Chao were co-starring in the sa film. Assuming ng Chao would be heading to work at the film set, he thought Lin Qin should be leaving instead.
"No need," ng Chao replied. "Qinqin is coming with ."
The agent imdiately objected, "ng Chao, you’re going to work, not to date. If Lin Yingdi goes with you, what will people think of him?"
The agent, knowing ng Chao wouldn’t budge if approached from his own angle, switched tactics to focus on Lin Qin’s perspective. If ng Chao had any regard for Lin Qin, he wouldn’t put him in such a high-profile situation.
"Do you think I can’t distinguish between work and personal matters?" ng Chao frowned slightly, asking back, "Lin Qin is the other lead male actor in this film. He’s going for work, too."
The words the agent had been preparing to argue were suddenly stuck in his throat. Finally, he reluctantly muttered a single "Oh."
ng Chao and Lin Qin paid the agent no further heed, returning to the room to pack before heading to the car parked outside.
As the agent stared at their backs, he couldn’t help gritting his teeth. Why was Lin Qin the one standing beside ng Chao? Why was the person he’d watched over for so many years being handed over to Lin Qin?
Lin Qin was highly sensitive, especially to malicious glances. He could feel a venomous gaze piercing from behind him, as if soone wanted to see through him entirely.
Lin Qin paused slightly as he got into the car. ng Chao imdiately noticed his oddity, reaching out to pull Lin Qin into the car and asking, "What’s wrong?"
Lin Qin thought for a mont but ultimately said nothing. ng Chao’s gaze shifted past Lin Qin and landed on the agent—inadvertently catching the hateful expression on his face.
ng Chao’s expression darkened slightly; he didn’t say anything, acting as though he hadn’t noticed. Bending down to fasten Lin Qin’s seatbelt, he then exchanged a fiery, wet kiss with Lin Qin right in front of the agent.
The agent, about to follow them, paused mid-step, stumbled slightly, and nearly fell. His heart felt like it had been punched hard—painful and aching.
When the agent reached the car, ng Chao slamd the door shut, lowered the window, and said to him, "You don’t need to co along. Xiao He will suffice."
The window was ruthlessly rolled back up, leaving the agent standing alone on the road, glaring fiercely at the car as it disappeared into the distance.
Lin Qin turned back to look at the agent, then said to ng Chao, "Is this really okay?"
ng Chao’s tone was indifferent, "We don’t align in philosophy. Our split is rely a matter of ti."
Lin Qin wasn’t a saint and stopped questioning further at this point.
ng Chao took Lin Qin’s hand and squeezed gently. "You don’t have to worry; I won’t let him harm you."
"I trust you." Lin Qin showed no concern at all.
When the two arrived at the airport, Chu Hong was already waiting there. She gave Lin Qin a playful look and whistled teasingly, "Had a smooth past half month, huh?"
Lin Qin’s face turned bright red from embarrassnt, and he hid behind ng Chao.
ng Chao rubbed Lin Qin’s head, looking at him with a face full of affection.
Seeing that Lin Qin had soone shielding him, Chu Hong stopped teasing him but felt genuinely happy to see Lin Qin gradually regaining his vitality.
While waiting for the flight, Chu Hong sat aside and chatted with Lin Qin about the response to yesterday’s "We Are Together." It was obvious Chu Hong was in a good mood; her rapid speech was an indirect reflection of how well-received the show truly was.
Lin Qin’s interest was piqued, so he opened his phone and tapped into the Weibo trending topics. There were three or four topics related to "We Are Together" ranking highly on the list.
One of them, titled "#A Studio Designer Who Can’t Act Isn’t Aixinjueluo Xiaotu#," occupied the top spot on the trending chart.
Aixinjueluo Xiaotu was the nickna collectively given to Lin Qin by the internet after his background was revealed, but Lin Qin didn’t mind. Clicking into the topic, he saw discussions praising how Lin Qin had a knack for transforming the mundane into the magical—turning an empty living room into a cozy, holy space.
[I want a studio designer like Lin Xiaotu!!!]
[Wake up, person above. You can’t afford Aixinjueluo Xiaotu.]
[My baby is so talented! Is he superhuman? He’s amazing! Mommy is so proud!!!] ← This was from a "mom fan."
Lin Qin originally had fans of the "mom type," but they weren’t many. Most were career-focused fans or CP shippers pairing him with ng Chao. Yet since yesterday’s "We Are Together" broadcast, many fans had spontaneously transitioned to "mom fans" because Lin Qin’s initial awkwardness in front of the cara deeply triggered their maternal instincts—making him incredibly endearing.
Chu Hong peeked at Lin Qin and saw him slightly frowning at a comnt before bursting into laughter. She patted her little cousin’s shoulder, saying, "Congratulations! You’ve snagged two million mom fans from across the internet."
Two million mom fans? What kind of trend was this? Lin Qin looked completely baffled.
