âI want to challenge myself and see if I can play any sort of role,â Jiang Lingâer said with a smile. âMoreover, the female lead always has a halo around her.â âArenât you afraid of getting hate?â Li Yu frowned.
She replied, âIf you have good acting skills, itâs normal that people would hate on you over your role.â
Li Yu was silent for a long time.
He then said, âYou can take a look at the script first, then go to the audition. Weâll let Yan Jin decide on the final decision.â
âAlright,â she nodded. âAh Yu, thereâs one more thing. I want to study applied chemistry.â
He suddenly thought of a phrase, âtake an inch and youâll get an inch!â
He asked, âDo you have enough time for that?â
She replied, âYes, I guarantee it wouldnât affect my work or my studies. When I graduate from university, I still have to take the test to become a perfumer since I have a perfume company. Soon, I want to develop a perfume that belongs to it.â
âBut if you do this, youâll affect my time. Donât you understand?â Li Yu said anxiously.
She suddenly felt a little guilty.
She said, âI just want to enrich my life. My foundation in science is pretty good; I just donât know if my current major will affect my future exams.â
Li Yu complained in his heart. âYou want to enrich your life, but what about me?â
âSo, when do you plan to marry me?â he asked.
âIf I can make some achievements in the entertainment industry after I graduate, weâll get our marriage certificate then,â she said seriously.
Hearing this, he immediately became happy.
He asked, âBut what if you donât? How long would I have to wait?â
Jiang Lingâer thought about it seriously for a moment. She said, âIf I donât, letâs do it a year after graduation. No matter what happens then, weâll get married as long as you still love me.â
âYou said it yourself. You canât go back on your words!â Li Yu was a little excited when he heard this.
âA gentleman keeps his word,â Jiang Lingâer said seriously. âLetâs high-five and swear!â
He held the steering wheel with one hand and high-fived her with the other.

Zhang Nuannuan returned to her bedroom and locked the door.
Mrs. Zhang stood at the door, trying to comfort her.
When Old Madam Zhang returned and heard Mrs. Zhangâs comforting, she became even more annoyed.
âAlright,â she said. âDonât try to persuade her; just let her cry. Sheâll be fine once she cries enough.â
Mr. Zhang was also very disappointed in Zhang Nuannuan.
He said, âYouâve been standing there for half an hour, so come and rest for a while. Donât worry about her.â
âIâm just worried Nuannuan will do something stupid,â said Mrs. Zhang.
Old Madam Zhang said, âIf you havenât done anything stupid, that girl wouldnât, either.â
âCome here quickly,â Mr. Zhang said impatiently. âItâs useless even if you stand at the door of her bedroom like this.â
Mrs. Zhang felt sad and walked to the sofa unwillingly.
âMy daughter has a hard life. Itâs because she was too innocent and let Li Yu play with her,â she said.
âInnocent? I think sheâs just stupid. Besides, what did he do to her? Wouldnât he know whether he likes her or not?â
When Mr. Zhang thought about it, he was very angry. He had lived for decades, but he had never been so embarrassed.
âOf course he liked her back then. Otherwise, which man would be so stupid as to obey a woman he didnât like?â Mrs. Zhang said unhappily. âHe wouldnât admit it now because Nuannuan abandoned him back then, so heâs taking revenge.â
He angrily continued, âShe needs to wake up and stop dreaming so much. They apparently really liked each other, but they never took a single photo over three years. What was she even yapping about?â
âDo you believe what those people said?â Mrs. Zhang tried her best to defend herself. âI think that little bastard from the Gu family said that on purpose!â âThen let your daughter produce the evidence!â Old Madam Zhang said with disdain.
Mrs. Zhang felt a little awkward. However, she still refused to give up. âMom, the Lis bullied Nuannuan like this. Are we just going to endure it? If we just let it slide, the other families will not look up to our Zhang family in the future.â
When Old Madam Zhang heard this, she was also very angry.
âItâs all because of your precious daughter. She made her relationship with Li Yu sound so intimate that I really thought the two of them dated!â she said.
Mrs. Zhang added fuel to the fire. âMom, the Lis went too far this time. Although Nuannuan is at fault, they humiliated us. We have to make them pay the price!â
Old Madam Zhang rolled her eyes at Mrs. Zhang.
âYou can say that, but do you think the Li family is easy to bully?â she mocked. âBlame your daughter for being too stupid.. She didnât leave any evidence for a three-year relationship!â
