The beastly Chen Feng slept well for the night, and got up early the next morning, and the two of them started packing their luggage.
After washing up, they went downstairs to check out, and left the hotel.
Wu ngting originally planned to take a flight back to save ti, but after checking her phone, she found that the next available flight was in the afternoon, so she decided to take the bullet train instead.
Actually, the bullet train is also fast, just a little over two hours.
In the ride-sharing car heading to the bullet train station, the two chatted in Lu City dialect.
Wu ngting asked, "Can you travel with again during the next vacation?"
Chen Feng wouldn’t agree imdiately, he simply said, "Let’s talk about it when the next vacation cos. Who knows if there will be other things then?"
"What could you possibly have to do? On the next New Year’s or Christmas, we can go out and have fun for two or three days. We don’t even have to go far, just visit a few nearby provinces or cities."
Chen Feng still evaded, "We’ll see."
Wu ngting didn’t expect Chen Feng to say that again, and she glanced at him angrily, "You’re really no fun!"
Chen Feng laughed and said, "If you really want to have fun, I think we should just visit Xiu Zhou. The scenery there never gets old."
Wu ngting retorted with a stern face, "We’ll see."
Seeing her puffing up a little, Chen Feng suddenly found it quite cute, sothing rare, so he couldn’t resist lightly pinching her cheek.
"Why did you pinch ?" Wu ngting glared at him.
"Because you’re cute. I like the way you show your emotions openly. It’s great; you should keep it up. I don’t like it when you’re always putting on a serious face and acting all strong and imposing like a businesswoman. That version of you makes it hard for to like you, and it feels a bit unfamiliar."
Wu ngting quickly said, "That’s for outsiders. I’m a director at the company now, and if I don’t act like that, no one will respect since I’m so young."
Chen Feng shook his head and said, "But I feel like you’re like that with too when we’re together."
Wu ngting said with so grievance, "That’s because you intentionally distance yourself from , and usually Sun Xiaorui is around. I can’t drop my guard; I can’t let her look down on ."
Chen Feng laughed and said, "Sounds like you have an image to maintain."
Wu ngting thought for a mont and then said with a bitter smile, "It seems like it. I don’t want people to underestimate , so I often have a serious expression and rarely smile. Actually, I’ve long since realized this, but it’s hard to change quickly. I want people to respect and fear , not think I’m approachable or anything."
"So, it looks like it’s my fault. After I got involved with other won, I did keep my distance from you intentionally. But you should understand why I did that; I didn’t want to hurt you."
"So, have you really thought it through now? Are you willing to accept ?"
"Of course. You, such a beautiful woman, insist on being with without any regrets. Unless I’m crazy, I wouldn’t keep rejecting you. Besides, we’ve already had an intimate relationship, and you’ve bled for , so I should be responsible for you."
Hearing Chen Feng say this, Wu ngting blushed, feeling both shy and elated.
"But you need to give so more ti. You said before, you were willing to accept the imperfect version of right now. Of course, I’ll try to cut ties with the other won as soon as possible."
This dampened her spirits a bit, and Wu ngting said in annoyance, "You also said before that when you go back, you’ll find an opportunity to break up with Li Liqin. I hope you keep your word and do it within a few days. Then show proof, like a video or an audio recording."
"You still don’t believe ? I said I’d break up with her, and I will."
"No, I don’t believe you."
"..."
The two arrived at the train station, and after two-plus hours on the bullet train, they returned to Lu City.
Wu ngting’s BMW was parked at the airport. Without a break, Chen Feng drove them directly to Xiu Zhou.
They didn’t stop until a little after noon at a highway service station for lunch. After half an hour, they hit the road again, and this ti Wu ngting drove.
By nearly two o’clock in the afternoon, they arrived in Xiu Zhou. On the way, Chen Feng also drove his car back from the airport, returning to No. 8 Villa at Red Villa Bay by two-thirty.
Both of them tacitly went to their rooms to shower first, then ca downstairs to wait in the living room.
Needless to say, Chen Feng finished his shower first and was waiting in the living room.
Chen Feng, holding his phone, first sent a ssage to Qin Zhen, saying he’s back in Xiu Zhou, and if Qin Zhen’s free that evening, Chen Feng would treat him and his wife to dinner at Wenhua Inn.
A few minutes later, Qin Zhen replied with a "Sure."
Seeing this, Chen Feng didn’t say much more to him and called Wenhua Inn to make a reservation.
Chen Feng spent another ten-plus minutes on his phone in the living room before Wu ngting ca downstairs.
Chen Feng asked, "I’m inviting Qin Zhen and his wife for dinner tonight. Do you want to co along?"
Wu ngting asked, "Where are you eating?"
"Wenhua Inn."
"Alright, I’ll co with you."
Chen Feng then jokingly asked, "Do you think we should invite Little Rui too?"
Wu ngting glanced at him and said, "That’s up to you."
Chen Feng pretended to hesitate for a while, then said, "Let’s invite her. After all, she lives with us. Leaving her out would be a bit rude."
Wu ngting didn’t say anything, walking to the sofa to sit down, she picked up the remote and turned on the TV.
Seeing this, Chen Feng didn’t say anything to her either, and started reading a novel on his phone.
And so, one watching TV and the other on the phone, ti passed quietly.
After Wu ngting finished watching an episode of a Korean drama, she looked at Chen Feng and said, "Did you know the ratings for ’Green Jade Case’ are good?"
"I know. But how were last night’s ratings? Did they break 2%?"
"Not yet, but it’s close. Last night’s highest episode rating was 1.82%. I designed the script so that the sixth episode has a mini-climax, and it’s likely to break 2% then."
"That’s good. Hopefully, it will break 2% soon. When it does, the company will hold a celebration and give out bonuses to everyone involved in filming the series."
"That’s a waste of money," Wu ngting disagreed, "Breaking 2% is pretty much a given. It’s nothing special. Even breaking 3% is possible. Of course, if it does break 3%, we’ll definitely have a big celebration. Giving out bonuses then won’t be too late."
"You’re confident it’ll break 3%?" Chen Feng was skeptical.
If it really breaks a 3% viewership, it would be a major hit. There hasn’t been such a high-rated drama in the country for several years.
The difficulty is undeniable.
"I’m not entirely certain, but there’s hope. The show is designed to progress gradually, getting more exciting as it goes on, making it hard for viewers to stop watching. So, we do have a chance to break 3%."
