Song Qiao was stunned by his words, her crimson lips quivering, yet she found herself unable to utter a single word.
It seed as if Chu Munan could read Song Qiao’s thoughts. His expression unchanged, he fell silent as the waiter approached with their breakfast. The restaurant was known for quick service. This pause was also a chance for Song Qiao to gather her thoughts.
After the waiter set down their breakfast and left, they were alone at their secluded corner table, but they could still faintly hear the buzz of other patrons’ conversations.
Chu Munan was in no hurry to continue talking with Song Qiao. He had ordered a green bean porridge, which he didn’t usually like much, but after trying it once before, he thought he should bring Song Qiao to taste it. He hadn’t expected to bring her here so soon.
And since green bean porridge was beneficial to pregnant won, Chu Munan served her a bowl, then spoke in a low voice, "Moreover, if you want to leave, I can help you. As long as you leave An City, I guarantee Lu Jingchen won’t be able to find you, unless you doubt my capabilities."
Upon hearing this, Song Qiao instinctively shook her head and said, "I do not doubt your abilities. On the contrary, you are the only man I’ve seen who can stand up to Lu Jingchen."
Chu Munan’s eyebrows imperceptibly lifted. He handed her a spoon he had just sterilized with boiling water. After she took it, he curved his lips into a teasing smile and joked, "Could it be that you saved because you recognized I was the only man who could contend with Lu Jingchen?"
Song Qiao paused with the spoon in hand, then fixed her gaze on him and said nonchalantly, "Do I look like soone with such discerning eyes? When I first t you, you were injured. If it weren’t for your capable n, and without them, with the severity of your injuries, you really were... quite weak."
At her words, Chu Munan’s expression turned visibly sour in that instant, and even the corner of his mouth seed to twitch. He fought the urge to flip the table, his face turning fierce as he waited for Song Qiao to speak, "Who are you calling weak?"
To suggest Chu Munan was weak – this woman, Song Qiao, was infuriating... He wanted to strangle her neck and see if he could kill her.
Sensing Chu Munan’s suppressed anger, Song Qiao shrank her neck and looked up cautiously at the man before her. She realized that her words had indeed upset him and couldn’t help but internally curse his true identity.
She quickly put on an ingratiating smile, "You’re not weak; I am. I’m the weak one..."
Song Qiao had heard legends about Chu Munan from Lu Jingchen, aware of Chu Munan’s various businesses and... organizations or gangs throughout Beijing and many major cities in the country.
At any rate, she wasn’t sure whether Lu Jingchen was exaggerating these stories to scare her into staying away from Chu Munan, painting this man as extrely frightening.
Moreover, she couldn’t help but feel that Zuo Yuqing seed to be very afraid of Chu Munan.
After hearing what Song Qiao said, Chu Munan gave an arrogant snort and pointed his chin at the bowl of red bean porridge in front of her, "Eat up, the red bean porridge is not bad. Even if you don’t want to eat, think about the child in your belly."
Song Qiao, "..." That’s it? Wasn’t he supposed to get angry?
Could it be that Lu Jingchen was just exaggerating in front of her to scare her?
Thinking of this, Song Qiao’s eyes teared up!
Was she too easily deceived?
...
When Lu Jingchen arrived at the film set, Su Yingxue was complaining to the director, and those who knew about Su Yingxue and Zuo Yuqing’s fight were all looking on with the attitude of enjoying the drama, forming a circle to see how Su Yingxue planned to confront Zuo Yuqing.
The director was also having a headache. He had been filming just now, hadn’t slept all night due to a rush shoot, and was about to shoot the next scene when he was inford that Su Yingxue and Zuo Yuqing had started fighting. Upon hearing this, he imdiately dropped what he was doing and rushed over.
Su Yingxue was currently in the lilight, yet she had gone ahead and hit soone who had been a popular actress in Hollywood for several years; how could this be acceptable?
However, as soon as the director showed up, Su Yingxue had already started accusing the other first, telling the director it was all Zuo Yuqing’s fault. The director, already not in high spirits or a good mood, listened to Su Yingxue speak with an unrevealing expression, without interrupting her.
Zuo Yuqing’s assistant sohow found a freshly boiled egg and brought it over, almost unable to restrain her temper upon hearing Su Yingxue’s words, but she was tily held back by Zuo Yuqing’s agent who had just rushed over.
Zuo Yuqing’s agent looked at Su Yingxue, who was still talking non-stop, and then turned his attention back to his client with a swollen face, showing a deeply hurt expression, and spoke with a hint of anger, "Did Su Yingxue do it on purpose? Does it hurt? Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?"
Zuo Yuqing was applying the egg to her swollen face, in so much pain she was grimacing, but still smiling at her agent, "Let’s go to the hospital later. I want to see how they plan to trample ."
Although she had won countless awards in Hollywood and been the Actress for so many years, she had always been very low-profile. To her dismay, her modesty had led others to believe she was easy to bully.
A tiger does not show its power and now they think Zuo Yuqing is easy to bully?
As sothing crossed her mind, Zuo Yuqing turned to look at her assistant whose eyes were red with distress from Zuo Yuqing’s injury, feeling a sudden warmth in her heart, she then instructed, "Go get three chairs. Standing is tiring, sitting and watching the drama is much better."
The assistant was startled, seemingly not understanding the aning behind Zuo Yuqing’s words, but since Zuo Yuqing had given the order, she naturally obeyed and imdiately went to fetch the chairs.
