Jiang Nian was an activist. Since she said she was going to find her Tianluo girl, she booked a flight and packed her clothes that night and dragged her suitcase out the next morning. She left so early she’d likely have to eat lunch in the hotel.

It happened that Zhao Heng said that he wouldn’t have any night filming that day. He would have dinner with her after returning from work later, and then they could watch an episode of “My President Daren” together.

No matter what, it was Jiang Nian’s first TV series. Zhao Heng wouldn’t miss an episode. Not to mention, each episode was short, so he had ample time to watch after he returned to his hotel at night. Every time after watching, he was in a good mood, so excited that he couldn’t sleep. He couldn’t help but sigh, feeling that his girlfriend had endless talent!

Filming an idol drama was really burying her talent; perhaps her comedy film could break world records.

Jiang Nian’s arrival put Zhao Heng in a good mood. Not only Lao Wei and Xiao Wang felt it, but even Li Ru was keenly aware that Zhao Heng today was a bit different from the past, but she couldn’t tell the difference. Vaguely happy and chipper?

When resting with Zhao Heng after a scene, she couldn’t help but ask him, “Mr. Zhao seems to be in a good mood today, is there any good thing happening?”

Zhao Heng was cold and indifferent to her these days. Everyone else could see that Li Ru had an agenda. Whenever there was time, she’d find Zhao Heng on the grounds of work. When occasionally inviting the crew for drinks, she must deliver Zhao Heng’s herself. Anyone with eyes could see that she had other feelings for Zhao Heng.

Li Ru was also a third-tier actress, more famous than Zhao Heng. Plus, her good family background made her one of the shareholders of an entertainment company. She was confident that she was 10,000 times better than Zhao Heng’s girlfriend, more than enough for Zhao Heng. Unfortunately, she hit a wall more than once at Zhao Heng’s attitude, to the point that even their current relationship was colder than when she first arrived. Perhaps it was the mentality that what’s unavailable is always the best, the more she failed, the more reluctant she was to let go. Li Ru was angry and resentful in her heart but channeled that into attacking him even more.

Zhao Heng was just blind now. He would know she was the better choice once his eyesight improved.

Zhao Heng didn’t know what Li Ru was thinking, but he didn’t like Li Ru’s eyes when she looked at him. If not that he didn’t want the crew to be too rigid and ugly, which would affect the shooting and cause trouble for director Li Tang, he wouldn’t even speak to Li Ru.

He glanced at her and said, “Yes, my girlfriend has come to visit the class.”

Li Ru was startled, looking at Zhao Heng’s dark and cold eyes, some could not believe.

“....Your girlfriend is here?”

“Mhm, I begged her for a long time, and she finally agreed to come and play for two days. So, I am of course happy.”

Li Ru bit her lip and her face was a bit ugly. She didn’t say anything more and, using the excuse she was a bit tired, clutched her script and walked away.

Zhao Heng looked at her lightly and continued to watch the script.

Lao Wei looked at Zhao Heng and then Li Ru and shook his head helplessly.

Li Ru was resentful, thinking it was good Zhao Heng: “girlfriend came. She really wanted to see what the other person looked like and, compared with her, who Zhao Heng would think was better.

Jiang Nian arrived at the hotel at 11:30. She opened a room and left her luggage, then went to the restaurant for lunch. As she was eating, Chen Qing sent a message saying that he and Song Hanhan had an interview today. Nowadays, he was followed by fans everywhere, and endorsement scripts and other activities followed one after another. He could have today purely due to Jiang Nian’s credit, so now he was calling ‘Jiang jie’ sincerely.

Jiang Nian stopped eating at once, and asked him very solemnly, “Are you digging out your heart, seriously, and honestly explaining the poor life of our crew?”

Chen Qing: “.. I am, I am. I am giving the most honest account of our crew, Jiang jie I assure you!”

Jiang Nian made a satisfactory ‘ah’ sound and suddenly got her appetite back, swallowing a few mouthfuls of rice before she continued, “then instead of attracting investors, you’re wasting time coming to me, ah?”

Chen Qing couldn’t help but laughed. Jiang jie was really money obsessed: “Jiang jie, I’m going to have lunch.”

Well, it was true that you have to eat enough to work well.

“Then you eat more.”

Chen Qing rubbed his forehead and could not help but say, “Jiang jie, in fact, I have a reason to contact you. When we were doing an interview today, the host asked if you were interested in being interviewed. Now the online voice is quite loud and everyone wants to see you come out.”

Jiang Nian had been receiving some invitations these days, but they were rejected by her. This kind of activity barely paid, and also affected her persona of a mysterious and successful genius beauty. It was only interesting if you could hear but couldn’t see.

“Thank them for me. I’ve been a bit busy recently. I want to change the script of the next drama. Plus, I’m still choosing locations and looking for investment. I’m too busy, I don’t have time.”

Chen Qing also guessed it would be like this, he laughed and responded a few words before saying goodbye.

Song Hanhan looked at Chen Qing and said, “Director Jiang didn’t agree?”

Chen Qing said, “Jiang jie doesn’t seem to like this kind of activity.”

Song Hanhan said that she had already guessed it, Jiang Nian didn’t like to make public appearances. Otherwise, with looks like hers, she could just direct and act herself- why would she be needed? Moreover, Jiang Nian seemed extremely talented in acting. When she’d occasionally demonstrate a scene for Song Hanhan, her acting seemed extremely natural, much better than Song Hanhan’s.

When she first promised Jiang Nian to come film, she never thought it would be as big as today. Of course, for “My President Daren” to have today, in addition to Jiang Nian’s script and directing abilities, there was also the contribution of Bi Lei, Zheng Qi and Chen Xin. After all, they provided real props. Thinking about the next drama, Song Hanhan was especially looking forward to buying actual real estate around the world.

After having lunch, Jiang Nian first went back to the room to review her script, took a nap, and left the hotel at just past four o’clock in the afternoon. When Zhao Heng said that he was about to leave work and return to the hotel, Jiang Nian went to the supermarket to buy a few fruits before returning.

As soon as she entered the hotel with her forefoot, Bi Zheng came a short while later.

As the largest investor, Bi Zheng came to visit the class. Of course, the famous golden thigh was naturally entertained by many people and hugged in front and behind, so his prestige was quite high.

Bi Zheng looked left and right, nodded with satisfaction, and finally felt that his aesthetics brutalized by the mudslide drama had returned. Just a simple visit to the studio to take a look would return his true self.

“President Bi, do you want to go to the studio for a while, or shall we visit again tomorrow?”

Bi Zheng subconsciously looked at his watch. Now was just five thirty, and he’d need to have dinner seven o’clock if he wanted to watch mudslides..... The thought flashed in his mind, and then his tone couldn’t help but get a bit colder: “.. Tomorrow, I’m a bit tired today. I want to rest first.”

With Bi Zheng saying this, Others could only agree, worried they’d said something wrong and offended Bi dad. Otherwise, why was his face so ugly all of a sudden? The group was uneasy and exchanged glances.

Bi Zheng comforted himself for a while. It was just a few episodes anyway; shouldn’t he check if the follow-up plot was normal or not? He’d already been waiting so long to refresh his eyes, couldn’t he put it off another day? Thinking of it that way, he relaxed.

****

On his way back to the hotel, Zhao Heng passed a flower shop and got out of the car to buy a bouquet of roses.

Lao Wei also smiled and said, “How many years have you been together, why are you so lovey-dovey?”

The roses in the afternoon weren’t as beautiful as in the morning, but they were also blooming vigorously. He held the flowers and smiled lightly, facial features gentle: “Because we’ve been together for a long time, we should cherish each other. Niannian has been with me for years and gave me her entire youth. I should respect her and love her in return.”

Lao Wei was surprised, he did not expect Zhao Heng to say so. He and his wife had been together for almost two decades, from love to marriage. After two decades, they’d changed from love to affection. Even their wedding anniversary was no longer a novelty. He felt there was no need to pay attention to those things as an old man.

Now, listening to Zhao Heng, it seemed that this wasn’t the case.

A woman who gave him her time and youth, paid filial piety to his parents, and took care of the family for him, shouldn’t she be more respected and loved by him? Time was never an excuse to kill emotions.

Lao Wei was silent, shook his head, and smiled helplessly. He did not expect that he was taught by a young man. He even speculated if, considering his emotional intelligence, talent, and ability, the reason Zhao Heng still wasn’t popular today was because his personality was too honest?

He didn’t say anything more to Zhao Heng and planned to bring a bouquet of flowers to his wife next time he went home.

When Jiang Nian received the rose, she was very pleasantly surprised. She hugged her Tianluo girl happily. It really turned out to be a little fairy and would please her more every time they met.1

Zhao Heng, who she hadn’t seen for three months, seemed to be not much different from before. As always, he was handsome and attractive, but there was a bit more calmness between his eyebrows and a more restrained temperament overall. Jiang Nian leaned on the man’s broad chest and pinched his hard arms. Mmm, seems to be stronger!

Zhao Heng held her wandering little hand, and his warm lips kissed her on the top of her head. Her nose was full of his familiar fragrance: “Niannian, do you want me?”

Of course, Jiang Nian said, “I always want!”

Zhao Heng laughed and held the little girlfriend in his arms.

“I miss you too.”2

Because Jiang Nian didn’t want to go out, dinner was bought by Xiao Wang to the room. Jiang Nian casually ate a bit but didn’t have much of an appetite. Most of the food ended up in Zhao Heng’s stomach, but Zhao Heng had to refrain from eating too much due to filming.

Just before seven, Jiang Nian excitedly opened Apple video watch TV and lay on the sofa.

“Zhao Heng, have you been seriously watching my ‘Five Million’?”

Zhao Heng put away the food and washed the grapes bought by Jiang Nian before setting them out on the coffee table.

“I watched it. I watched all the episodes. And I read a lot of comments saying that your work is really fun. Many of my colleagues in the crew are watching.”

He rubbed Jiang Nian’s head.

“The first work has such good results. Niannian, you are really good.”

Jiang Nian accepted the praise of Zhao Heng happily, and then said, “This is just the beginning. I have already started to prepare for the second film, and the results will definitely be better then.”

Zhao Heng knew that the success of a drama not only relied on the script and the director, but also the timing and luck. Even the real big director would be afraid to guarantee that, if one work did well, the next one could only be better. The entertainment industry was always changing rapidly.

Moreover, the first in a series had always been difficult to surpass. Sequels could be seen everywhere, but it wasn’t uncommon for them to pull down the first class.

But he was also afraid that his words would be too straightforward and affect Jiang Nian’s enthusiasm.

“So fast? This seems to be done in a hurry.”

“Hurry, I’m in a hurry to find investment. The scene I need to shoot is even bigger. It’s also more magnificent, and there are more sets needed to film. Compared with the previous work, the difficulty has increased numerous times. I am almost heartbroken whenever I see my house in recent times. I can’t wait any longer!”

Zhao Heng was puzzled.

“What house are you looking at? What are you going to shoot?”

Jiang Nian said, “Xiaojiao Wife Runs with a Ball and Buys Property all Over the World”

Zhao Heng: “......????”

....Compared with five million and a villa, the scene was indeed bigger and more magnificent!

....Time was up. The latest episode of “My President Daren” had finally been updated. Jiang Nian automatically climbed to Zhao Heng’s chest and clicked on the video to watch it. Now the male and female leads had proposed to break up, the male lead already knew that the heroine took the five million yuan given by Ms. Yao, and the three parties finally gathered in the study for a face off.

While Jiang Nian and Zhao Heng were watching, Bi Zheng also hid in the room to look at the update. When he saw the male lead pulling the female lead to look for Ms. Yao, he knew that a big show was about to start, and maybe the upcoming show was the male lead and Ms. Yao quarreling and then him leading the female lead to elope against the evil forces at home!

But when the show really started, Bi Zheng’s seeds almost got stuck in the throat!

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......why did the hostess help Ms. Yao speak?”

Why admit that she took five million to agree to leave the male lead? Why didn’t the male quarrel with Ms. Yao? Why was there no male and female elopement? Why weren’t men and women standing on the same front against evil forces?

Why?!

The most important thing was, what did it mean to abide by the trading rules when you take money?

At this moment, Ms. Yao’s look was probably the same as the audience in front of countless screens. They were stunned by the heroine’s abnormal behavior, and then collectively ‘hahahaha’, all laughed crazy! Especially Ms. Yao, who also seemed to change her opinions because of Jiang Nian’s cooperation. Of course, the most important thing was that the dialogue between the president and Ms. Yao was very sensible. Ms. Yao threatened Jiang Nian with her relatives and friends and forced them to breakup. This did not prove that Jiang Nian loved the male lead too little. They only dated for a few months; did she have to prove that he was more important to her than her parents? Could love and affection be compared?

Ms. Yao finally came to her senses and she did something wrong. Finally, she found the heroine again. Somewhat embarrassed, she said, “You return the 5 million yuan check to me. The previous things never happened. The relationship between you and Shen Ming..I won’t be involved.”

What?!!

The barrage collectively said, “......????!!!”

Shocked, shocked! The whole world seemed quiet for three seconds!

When the heroine was stunned and tightened her purse reflexively, the barrage was really going crazy!

[Neon Orange]: “Hahahahaha! Ms. Yao, you devil, the little money you sent out you’ll even take back?!”

[Chiba Y]: “Hahahaha, tragic and inhumane, even taking it back! Hahaha!”

[Youpin Yizheng]: “Hahahahahaha what a plot! The five million dollars that had finally arrived are about to fly???”

[Faye]: “Hahahaha I laughed to death. The devil, she’s the devil, she’s really the devil’s devil. Hahahahaha.”

The barrage was almost completely covered by ‘hahahaha’, Jiang Nian couldn’t believe it! Especially when Zhao Heng fluttered a laugh beside her, her wide eyes looked at him.

“Why are you laughing? Why are you laughing? Isn’t this a very painful thing? Why are you laughing??!”

The five million in hand flew, she was ready to buy and buy! Her big villa, Hermes, Prada, and travel around the world....

Zhao Heng could not help but smile and hug Jiang Nian into his arms and said, “Nian Nian, your script is really interesting.”

“....Really interesting?” You are the devil???

.... What funny! Wasn’t this a very painful and sympathetic thing?

Zhao Heng laughed loudly, holding Jiang Nian and kissing her cheek and lips again. Jiang Nian pushed him away and said dissatisfied, “Zhao Heng, you make it clear. What is really interesting?!”

Zhao Heng, seeing her cute expression with eyes rounded and her lips, kissed her lips with a smile, and never let go.

Jiang Nian was overwhelmed on the sofa, and felt that her clothes were gone at once, and the man’s sturdy and wide chest pressed on her, bringing a trembling sensation that turned her upside down.

....Don’t think that using beauty is all it takes. Her Tianluo girl really makes her sad.

She could not help but want to grasp on his shoulder a few times, but her claws were held and a large hand touched her head.

“No, tomorrow I film undressed scenes. Can’t scratch.”

Jiang Nian pouted unhappily.

Zhao Heng looked at her rosy cheeks with red lips, even the tip of her nose was red. He felt that his heart was soft and confused. He leaned over and kissed her, pressing their foreheads together.

“Next time, it’s whatever you want.”

After a long absence, they worked extra hard and lingered.

Jiang Nian soon didn’t think much; only Zhao Heng was left in the whole world.

This night seemed extraordinarily slow. When Zhao Heng got up and left in the early morning, she was barely aware. She looked at him while wrapped in the quilt and fell asleep. Zhao Heng gently picked up his clothes and went out and went to the studio with Lao Wei and Xiao Wang.

He didn’t rest very much last night, and now he got in the car and closed his eyes.

Lao Wei smiled meaningfully and said, “Li Ru came to knock on your door last night, saying she wanted to run a scene with you. I said you weren’t there, and she left after waiting.”

Zhao Heng didn’t even more his brows.

Lao Wei shook his head. Sometimes, the male face was also a disaster.3?When they got to the set, the sky was not yet bright, and the moon was still hanging in mid-air. Zhao Heng went to see the makeup artist to get ready.

He didn’t lie; today, he really was filming a naked show-Meng Tianwen was arrested, and he was tortured to confess. Because of this, he didn’t restrain himself. His exhaustion would only fit in with the torture scene more.

The makeup took for almost two hours. At dawn, he ate something, but saw Lao Wei rushing forward: “Look, Jiang Nian is in the news again.”

Zhao Heng took a look at his mobile phone, “....Jiang jie and the national gold master’s father, President Bi’s, secret hotel rendezvous?”

The shooting time was yesterday, and the picture was also very clear. Jiang Nian and Bi Zheng entered and left the same hotel within a few minutes of each other. The evidence was solid, and it was difficult to deny it.

Jiang Nian was shocked when she saw the news.

Sure enough, she was too talented so God also cared for her, and she could clasp her gold thighs without doing anything!

This is so exciting!

1. Not sure if I’ve explained this before, but the terms ‘fairy’, ‘goblin’, and similar monster/fantasy words in reference to an attractive girl translates best to something along the lines of succubus/seductress. It’s a (somewhat derogatory but can also be used jokingly) way to refer to someone who’s attractive/good at seducing others. It’s rarely used to refer to men so Jiang Nian using it now adds an extra bit of funny to the situation as she sounds like a skeezy guy talking about a girl..^

2. ‘Want’, ‘miss’ and ‘think’ are actually the same word in Chinese so ‘I miss you’, ‘I want you’, and ‘I’m thinking of you’ mean the same thing.?^

3. Based on an old Chinese idiom that a woman who was too beautiful was a disaster.?^
