Her explanation became softer and softer, but she was also more determined. She almost believed in the things she was saying.

Lu Mingjue looked at her in amus.e.m.e.nt. “Continue making up stories, then.”

“I really like you. That’s why I’m doing all this. But I can also tell that you don’t like me that much. I did order this bouquet for myself and signed it with your name. I apologize to you, but can you give me a little more time? It won’t take long. Ten days, no, seven days…’

The more she looked at Lu Mingjue’s expression, the less confident she became. “Just give me seven days to exist as your girlfriend. I promise that after seven days, I’ll tell them that we’ve already broken up. I promise I won’t mention your name again or say anything else in the future, okay?” Her gaze was so sincere that no one could tell if she was telling the truth or not.

Lu Mingjue just didn’t believe her. He asked, “What do I get out of this while you borrow my existence to continue living in your fantasies?”

“I… What benefits do you want?” Jin Lan looked a little hesitant. She lowered her eyes for a moment before looking up again. She was a little shy and afraid.

She pulled open the collar of her s.h.i.+rt a little. “…Something like this?”

“What are you thinking?! You’re using my name to live out your fantasies. Won’t I be giving you more benefits if I touch you? Do you really think I like a good-for-nothing girl like you?”

Lu Mingjue’s face was filled with disdain.

Jin Lan hurriedly pulled up the collar of her s.h.i.+rt. She heaved a sigh of relief when he said that.

Lu Mingjue clearly saw her relieved expression. He snorted. It seemed that she even disdained him.

She was indeed full of lies.

Jin Lan asked, “Then I can give you whatever you want. Money or something else? But my salary isn’t high, and I can’t afford to pay too much. If you ask for too much, there’s nothing I can do.”

Lu Mingjue sneered. “I don’t want anything. I’ll make it clear to everyone now that we’ve already broken up! Please don’t use my name to do anything else in the future!”

He turned around and left.

Jin Lan quickly stopped him. “You’re not allowed to go! Just promise me for a few more days! Please, please!”

Lu Mingjue ignored her and walked past her to open the dressing room door.

Jin Lan stopped him in a panic. She was not strong enough to stop him. Her lipstick rubbed against his s.h.i.+rt. In a hurry, she shouted, “If you want to break up, I’ll sue you for rape!”

Lu Mingjue’s hand paused on the handle.

Jin Lan pulled her clothes down a little and pointed at the lipstick mark on his clothes. “I really will!”

After the few tugs just now, her hair was a little disheveled, her lipstick was smeared, and her clothes were a mess.

And what happened last time…

Lu Mingjue was furious. He had never seen such a shameless woman!

What exactly was this woman here for?

Jin Lan grabbed her clothes tightly and said in a low voice, “I promise I won’t do anything in these seven days. I’ll really clarify to everyone that we’ve broken up after these seven days are over, but now, I really… just want to fulfill my dream.”

She spoke pitifully, but Lu Mingjue felt annoyed.

He looked up slightly and saw that his coat was still hanging on the clothes rack at the side. He felt even more frustrated and said, “Move aside!”

“If you agree, I’ll move aside.” Jin Lan was still between him and the door handle. Her back was pressed tightly against the door.

“Remember, you only have seven days! Also, I’m warning you. Since you know my ident.i.ty, you should know the consequences if you fool me again and again!”

Lu Mingjue opened the door and left.

Jin Lan grabbed her clothes, leaned against the door, and slowly sat down. A trace of bitterness surged in her heart.

After Qiao Weiyang and Xiao Bao finished filming today’s scenes, Xiao Bao could rest for two days before filming outdoor scenes.

In order to reward Xiao Bao, Qiao Weiyang specially asked the butler to buy groceries at home today. Everyone sat around to eat hotpot.

The weather turned cold. It was already autumn. It was a good season to eat hotpot.

Xiao Bao received a portion of the remuneration in the early stages. Although it was not much, it was earned through his own hard work, so the occasion was especially festive.

After everyone sat down, he mysteriously took out three gifts and handed them to Su Zhuoqian, Qiao Weiyang, and Jingyun.

“These are gifts I bought using the money I earned!” Xiao Bao smiled widely.

“Thank you, Xiao Bao!” Qiao Weiyang hugged him and kissed him heavily on the forehead.

Su Zhuoqian smiled. “You’ve worked hard.”

“Thank you.” Jingyun took the gift.

“Why don’t I have a share?” Lu Mingjue walked in from outside. As he took off his coat, he walked over. “Don’t forget that I have to accompany you to film outdoor scenes next week.”

“Oh, my manager is here!” Xiao Bao said calmly. “Then I’ll prepare a gift for you too! It’s the beef and shrimp on the table! I’ll give you the biggest portion later!”

“Why do the rest get gift boxes while I just get food?”

“Because I bought the food with the salary I earned! If you don’t believe me, ask my mommy!” Xiao Bao said righteously.

“Yes, Xiao Bao specially bought it.”

Lu Mingjue didn’t care about this anymore. He sat down and said, “Alright, give me a can of beer! No, two cans. No, a few more cans!”

Su Zhuoqian handed him two cans and did not ask him why. Qiao Weiyang handed him a bowl and chopsticks.

Xiao Bao was happy, so everyone celebrated with him first.

Qiao Weiyang poured drinks for him and Jingyun. She raised her gla.s.s and said, “Let’s celebrate Xiao Bao successfully completing more than half of his work.

Let’s also celebrate Xiao Bao earning his salary through hard work! ”

“Thank you, everyone. I’ll definitely work harder in the future!” Xiao Bao stood up gentlemanly and bowed to everyone with one hand behind his back.

“It sounds like an award-winning speech.” Lu Mingjue clinked gla.s.ses with him. “Future Best Actor, cheers.”

He drank a large gla.s.s of wine in one go.

“Thank you, Daddy, Mommy, and Jingyun, for your support in my work. Of course, my uncle, who’s also my manager, is also supporting me. Thank you, everyone.” Xiao Bao bowed politely again.

Qiao Weiyang laughed so hard that she almost spat out her drink. She picked Xiao Bao up and tickled him.

Su Zhuoqian handed her a tissue and patted her back.

After fooling around for a while, Xiao Bao and Jingyun were full. Qiao Weiyang patted the two little guys’ heads. “Alright, let’s go over there to play.”

After the two of them left, Lu Mingjue drank even more heavily. Soon, his face turned red.

Qiao Weiyang guessed that he had something on his mind and asked, “Go ahead and chat with Zhuoqian. I’ll go play with Xiao Bao and Jingyun..”
