Why would someone like that need a money-making tool?
Before she could figure it out, Chang Xun drove past her.
Meanwhile, inside the car.
Qi Wu tilted her head and looked at Jin Si, who had a cold look on his face, and bluntly asked, âJin Si, did you come here to pick me up?â
âYouâre overthinking it.â
Jin Si indifferently glanced at her.
Chang Xun, who was driving, was speechless with confusion.
That was it?
Where was Jin Siâs ability to make people feel ashamed with just one sentence?
Why did he sound so normal when talking to Qi Wu?
Chang Xun looked back at the duo through the rearview mirror. He had wanted to expose Jin Siâs true colors as Jin Si had clearly been urging him to pick up Qi Wu since early in the morning.
However, Chang Xun then met Jin Siâs gaze. Seeing Jin Siâs warning glare, Chang Xun awkwardly smiled and kept silent.
Forget it. He wasnât Qi Wu. He could not control this psychopath.
Qi Wu nodded.
Jin Si liked being sarcastic. Was this his personality?
Silence reigned in the car.
The two people in the backseat were not talking to each other, but the one who felt like he was sitting on pins and needles was Chang Xun.
After two traffic lights, Chang Xun could not help but ask Qi Wu. âQi Wu, did you make any new friends on the show?â
âYes. â
Qi Wu was very happy to talk about her new friends, so she quickly started chatting with Chang Xun.
âThereâs also Tan Song and Jiang Yiran. They are all very good people.â
When she talked about her new friends, her tone was very gentle as a faint smile spread across her lips.
âHeh.
However, before Chang Xun could respond, Jin Si, who had been silent all this while, suddenly scoffed.
Chang Xun froze as if he had a premonition of something bad happening. He immediately fell silent.
Jin Si was acting up again. It was better to let Qi Wu deal with him.
Qi Wu stopped talking and quietly looked at Jin Si.
After a while, she frowned and said, âJin Si, donât act weird.â
There was a hint of condemnation in her voice as a frown marred her exquisite face.
Even though she was clearly scolding him, Jin Si did not show any signs of impatience.
He even felt a tinge of interest as if he was a masochist being tortured. He stared at her eyes which were filled with condemnation.
âWhatâs weird?â
Qi Wuâs face was serious. âWhat you just did.â
The manâs voice carried a lofty and leisurely tone. âIs that weird? Youâre being noisy. â
Qi Wu was stunned for a moment as if she was seriously considering Jin Siâs words.
A few seconds later, she said, âThen Iâll talk to Chang Xun quietly in the tuture and not disturb you.â
However, Jin Siâs playful face became tense as he became audibly upset. âWhat do you have to say to him?â
Chang Xun did not understand what was happening.
Wasnât he Qi Wuâs manager? Werenât they partners who worked together for a win-win situation? Why canât they talk to each other? n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Chang Xun could only seethe in angry resentment as he dared not speak.
When they arrived at their destination, he walked away without a word as resentment shone clearly on his face.
Qi Wu looked at Chang Xunâs departing figure and asked, âWhatâs going on with him?â
Jin Si calmly opened the door. âHeâs in a hurry to pray to the patron saint of his profession.â He then looked at Qi Wu who was standing by the doorway and said, âCome in.â
Qi Wu stopped looking around and walked into the house with Jin Si.
She had been working in the show for more than a month, but the furnishings in the house had not changed at all. It was still the place that Qi Wu was familiar with.
Jin Si calmly switched the television to Pink Pigâs channel.
âPink Pig!â
She joyfully cheered before running past him to sit on the couch. Her focused and lively behavior brought a sparkle to Jin Siâs eyes.
He turned around and walked into the kitchen.
However, what he did not know was that the moment he turned around to leave, Qi Wu turned around and looked at him thoughtfully.
Not long after Chang Xun arrived home, he called Qi Wu.
âI heard from Song that you chose âDreamlandâ but canât get into the groove of
âYes.â
âWhy donât I find you a professional tutor? Still, there are so many people watching that Song doesnât think itâs right for me to do thatâ¦
Chang Xun did not know what was going on, but from what he heard from Song Qi, she seemed to have lost all ability to emote.
Qi Wuâs performance was not bad. It could even be compared to some of the performances of the highly skilled actors in the industry. However, that was not all that Song Qi wanted.
Qi Wu calmly said, âSong Qi said that I should date someone.â
Chang Xun did not sense anything amiss. As he pondered over Song Qiâs suggestion, he could not help but mutter, â⦠Thatâs a feasible solution.â
No matter how much one learned about love, it was not as thorough as experiencing it personally.
âYouâre right.â
Chang Xun suddenly heard Qi Wu agreeing with him.
The next moment, before he could think about what she meant, he heard Qi Wu shout for Jin Si to leave the kitchen.
Chang Xun was confused.
An intense premonition suddenly struck him. Could it be what he thought?
Jin Si walked out of the kitchen when he heard Qi Wuâs voice.
Then, he saw Qi Wu quietly staring at him.
âWhatâs wrong?â he asked.
âCan you date me?â
Qi Wuâs solemn request caught him off-guard.
Jin Siâs entire body froze.
At that moment, time seemed to stretch into infinity.
He stared at Qi Wu without blinking, but he could only see the seriousness in her eyes, indicating that she was not joking.
Then, Jin Si even remembered what Qi Wu had asked him before. He realized she was not talking about Tan Song.
Instead, she wanted to date him.
For some reason, the moment he thought that, something seemed to grow uncontrollably in his heart.
Chang Xunâs wailing came from Qi Wuâs phone, and Jin Si snapped out of his thoughts.
âQi Wu doesnât really want to date you!â
His racing heart froze when he heard Chang Xunâs words.
His eyes turned cold. âWhat do you mean?â
There was a hint of danger in his cold tone.
Then, Chang Xun pushed through his fear and explained with a trembling voice.
As Chang Xun did not talk to Jin Si face-to-face, he did not know that the more he explained, the colder Jin Siâs expression became.
After Chang Xun finished explaining, Jin Si quickly walked forward and took the phone from Qi Wuâs hand. He then hung up the phone.
After doing this, he looked down at Qi Wu, who was sitting on the sofa.. âIs it all just for a one-minute performance?â
