Chapter 16
The Sweet Life: Secretly Married to a Movie Star
Xia Yishan took a sip of the tea. It was her favorite, premium yunwu tea from Mount Lu.
She did not expect Su Jingting to have that. It had been a long time since she last tasted it.
âIâd like to be signed under a company sooner or later. Itâs just that Iâve never thought Iâd be signed under Asia Entertainment. To be honest, I feel a lot of pressure. Those who are under Asia Entertainment are beautiful and capable. All of them eventually become celebrities. Itâs quite a gamble to take me on board!â
Su Jingting was secretly over the moon hearing what she said. âJust be yourself. Thatâs enough. Right now, no one is trying to force you into the entertainment industry in order to be the âbest actorâsâ match. As it stands, if youâre interested in venturing into showbiz, Asia Entertainment is genuinely the best choice.â
She was speechless.
âThat makes a lot of sense.â
âMoreover, even if youâre completely useless, youâre my girlfriend. Of course, Iâm not saying that youâre useless. I love everything about youâ¦â
Xia Yishan instantly started blushing.
She thought she had developed a thick skin after having lived two lives. She never thought Su Jingting would manage to win her over. His flirting skills were perfect. He did not look cold like he usually did on the screen.
If his fans knew that their idol flirted like this in private⦠n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Their screams would probably tear the earth apart!
âBest Actor, weâve only met a few times. Is there something I donât understand about our relationshipâ¦?â
She felt as if Su Jingting had known her for years.
âEfficiency is what I care about when looking for a girlfriend. I wonât hesitate to go for it when I meet someone suitable.â
âDid you practice this skill for getting a girlfriend?â
âIn 27 years, Iâve never utilized such a skill. I might have been born with it.â
âBut Iâm completely useless!â
âYou have great potential!â Su Jingting poured tea for her again.
âHow do you know? Even Iâm not sure of thatâ¦â
âIntuition.â
Xia Yishan was dumbstruck. She gave him a thumbs up.
âTell me, what are your thoughts on going into the entertainment industry?â Su Jingting crossed his legs, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Xia Yishan.
His visage had changed instantly. He was like a master testing her.
âHmm⦠I used to think of it as something Iâd do just to get by. However, I see it differently nowâ¦â Xia Yishan looked away as she spoke. She courageously locked eyes with Su Jingting. âI want to get to your level.â
Hearing her words, Su Jingting revealed a smile that he had never shown before. Everything he wanted to say was consolidated into one word, âGreat.â
âBut I have a condition.â
âDo tell.â Su Jingting was overjoyed to hear that. He would accept any requests that she had.
âItâll be a secret relationship. We wonât be helping each other in our careers.â
âI respect everything about my girlfriend as long as her safety is guaranteed.â
Xia Yishan picked up her tea and clinked it against the cup in Su Jingtingâs hand. âDeal.â
He patted her head and gently asked, âWhat do you want for dinner?â
âA home-cooked meal.â
Su Jingting frowned. The most expensive and stylish restaurant in Beijing flashed through his mind. He did not expect her to want something homemade. Bashfully, he tried to dissuade her. âThe helper at the villa isnât working todayâ¦â
âDonât worry about it. I can cook. Whereâs the kitchen?â
Su Jingting took her to the huge refrigerator. She opened the door and realized there was nothing inside itâ¦
Xia Yishan turned her head to look at him. Embarrassed, he merely smiled and said, âI hardly come hereâ¦â
