Jing Yao could hear the emotions in Zhu Lingâs words and her heart ached. She had never seen Zhu Ling like this.
Zhu Ling had always been energetic. Back then, when the two of them were at Stardust, they were suppressed by their superiors and ostracized by their colleagues. At that time, Zhu Ling would still comfort her with a smile every day, spinning continuously like a top that would not stop, winning her a lot of resources.
At that time, her psychological barrier was at its worst. She kept feeling that her heart was covered in dense shadows, and everything she saw was dim. She didnât know what she would have done without Zhu Ling.
âLingling, Iâll come to the studio to find you now,â Jing Yao said as she lifted the blanket and prepared to get up.
Liang Xunâs eyelids twitched. How could he let Jing Yao go out in such weather? The road was so slippery. He would regret it for the rest of his life if Jing Yao fell.
Zhu Ling, who was on the other end of the phone, was also frightened by Jing Yao. She hurriedly said, âNo, no, no. Ancestor, what are you thinking? Iâm really fine. Why are you going out in this weather? You donât have to come over. 1 can settle it myself. Iâll call Shen Yu immediately after the cell phone is charged. Weâll discuss it ourselves. Is that okay?â
Jing Yao did not answer immediately. She instinctively glanced at Liang Xun and met his worried and vigilant gaze.
She looked at her protruding abdomen and calmed down.
However, she was still worried about Zhu Ling. She said to Zhu Ling, âAlright, have a good talk with Shen Yu. However, donât force yourself. No matter what decision you make, Iâll support you.â
Zhu Ling lost all her emotions and hurriedly agreed.
After hanging up, she returned to her office and turned on her cell phone to call Shen Yu.
The moment the call went through, Shen Yu heaved a sigh of relief. âYouâre finally willing to contact me.â
Zhu Ling felt a little upset when she heard his hoarse voice. âI didnât say that we wonât contact each other in the future. Iâm just telling you not to contact each other for the time being.â
Shen Yu was silent for a moment before asking, âAre you still worried about being exposed?â
Zhu Ling didnât say anything. She was fine herself and wasnât a public figure, but if Shen Yuâs relationship was exposed, his career would be severely damaged.
The entertainment industry was such a place. It looked glorious, but one actually lost a lot, such as freedom.
âIf our pictures are really taken, letâs make it public. My brother and sister-in-law have received blessings since they made it public. Weââ
âWeâre different.â Zhu Ling interrupted him. âYou should know very well that Yaoyao is a small celebrity. Publicity doesnât affect her much, but youâre different. There will be a lot of pressure for you to publicize.â
After Zhu Ling finished speaking, she did not hear Shen Yu.
She paused for a moment and continued, âLetâs wait for things to quieten down for a while. Too many people have been staring at you recently⦠Also, I didnât ignore you on purpose this morning. At that time, I saw someone hiding in the corner behind you.â
Shen Yu finally felt more at ease. He thought that Zhu Ling really didnât want to talk to him anymore.
âThen letâs go out for dinner tonight. I know a very delicious private restaurantâ¦â
âAre you still going out?â Zhu Ling said coldly.
âAlright, I wonât go.â Shen Yu felt extremely aggrieved. Why was his sister-in-law so gentle in front of his brother, but Zhu Ling was so cold to him?
No, he couldnât say that. He liked people like Zhu Ling, who was cold and cute.
After that, the two of them said a few more words. They had completely reconciled, but they could not see each other recently.
Shen Yu knew that Zhu Ling called him because of Jing Yao, so he called his brother to thank him.
He didnât call Jing Yao directly because he knew that his brother was jealous of everyone.
Liang Xun didnât know how to describe his feelings when he heard Shen Yu ask him to convey his gratitude to Jing Yao.
Jing Yao tried to persuade Zhu Ling not to reconcile with him and break up with him.
Of course, there was no need to tell Shen Yu these.
Liang Xun accepted Shen Yuâs gratitude without changing his expression. He casually said a few words and hung up.
Jing Yao was listening to him on the phone. She looked happier than anyone else when she heard that the two of them had reconciled, as if she wasnât the one who had persuaded him to break up just now.
Liang Xun could not help but say, âI thought you wanted the two of them to be separated.â
Jing Yao glared at him. âHow is that possible? Am 1 such a vicious person? 1 just donât want to put any psychological pressure on Lingling. Besides, if she really wanted to break up with Shen Yu, she would have done it long ago. Sheâs so conflicted. It means that she canât bear to.â
Liang Xun nodded and said sarcastically, âYou know her quite well.â
Jing Yao:â⦠Mr. Liang, being jealous of anything is not good for your physical and mental health..â
