Chapter 274 Why Pretend to Be Innocent?
Chapter 274 Why Pretend to Be Innocent?
Ji Shiyan: Hmm... So, does this mean I'm restricted from telling the truth?
Ji Shiyan felt somewhat innocent, and he even wanted to defend himself, but... before he could even open his mouth and say anything, Lu Yining stopped him.
"Alright, stop talking and shut up!"
"Otherwise, I'll have to be very rude to you!"
Oh?
Ji Shiyan raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a leisurely air. He bent down, placing one hand on the stone table, while the other hand hung down naturally and relaxed.
"May I ask how exactly I was being impolite?"
"What...are you planning to do to me?"
In his conversation, he was like a male enchantress, captivating and mesmerizing; just one glance was enough to make one feel dizzy and disoriented.
[This is even more terrifying than a sleeping potion...]
Ji Shiyan: "??"
She glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then reached out with her right hand to hook around Ji Shiyan's neck, pulling hard with one hand. The next second, his handsome face loomed large in front of her.
She smiled, a smile that seemed almost devilish, radiating a lazy charm.
"Then, how do you want me to deal with you?"
"If you have any ideas, feel free to speak them."
"Perhaps I will punish you as you suggested?"
She leaned close to his ear, her breath sweet as orchids, and every word she spoke made his heart tremble.
"Ningning, don't do this." His throat moved, as if something slid down from his throat, and even his voice became hoarse and deep: "If you do this, I will have impulsive thoughts."
Lu Yining touched his chest with her right index finger, making a faint circle.
Her bright eyes sparkled with a mixture of cunning, innocence, allure, and passion as she asked in a melodious, rhythmic voice, "What kind of impulse is it?"
Don't you know what kind of impulse it is?!
Ji Shiyan gritted his teeth, really wanting to take her!
Nonsense!
This is practically pushing his limits!
As everyone knows, his limits are extremely low! He can't resist just by someone flirting with him.
He always crumbled easily in her presence.
His breathing became more and more rapid, and his gaze towards her held a hint of restraint. He could clearly feel his body temperature gradually rising.
Lu Yining quickly withdrew her hand and hurriedly changed the subject: "Didn't I just say that I would have something to tell you after we finished eating the cake?"
"Yep."
His dark eyes were fixed on her without blinking, the emotions in them were excessively complex and conflicting, his dark pupils like a deep pool, unfathomable.
Seeing her blinking incessantly and avoiding direct eye contact with him, Ji Shiyan couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
"What are you afraid of?"
Are you afraid I'll really do something to you?
Lu Yining stubbornly retorted, "What a joke, how could I be afraid of these things?"
As she spoke, she glanced toward Ji Shiyan.
She glared at him, trying to cover up her misunderstanding: "I knew you wouldn't do anything to me."
[Yeah, right!]
Who knows what a man can be like when he turns into a beast!
Ji Shiyan almost laughed out of anger. He took a deep breath and stared dangerously at Lu Yining.
"is it?"
"But why do I feel like your face is practically screaming 'Men are beasts'?"
【Uh……】
Lu Yining felt slightly guilty. She coughed lightly and awkwardly touched her nose: "Yes! Is that so?"
[Wow, I didn't realize I was being so obvious!]
Ji Shiyan: Hehe...
Hey! Why are you agonizing over this?
Lu Yining was both angry and embarrassed. She glared fiercely at Ji Shiyan, her meaning quite clear.
【Trying to cause trouble, huh?】
The aggression level in Ji Shiyan's eyes instantly decreased. He lowered his gaze, pretending to be nonchalant, looking left and right.
After staring blankly for a while, until her eyes were a little sore, Lu Yining finally looked away and closed her eyes briefly to relieve the dryness and soreness.
After waiting for about a minute, Lu Yining finally spoke again.
"I wanted to tell you that filming wrapped up today. If this drama does well, then we'll announce it, even if it only makes a small splash."
Her voice was very faint, as if a gust of wind could dissipate it.
Even though Ji Shiyan was close to her in the quiet of the night, he could still catch every word and sentence she spoke immediately.
Ji Shiyan suddenly looked down at Lu Yining.
His voice trembled slightly: "Are you serious?"
He held his breath, his expression focused, terrified that he might have misheard what she said.
Seeing this, Lu Yining felt both helpless and amused: "If it's not real, then what, is it fake?"
Does she need to joke with him like that?
Almost the instant she finished speaking, a bright light flashed in Ji Shiyan's eyes.
He hugged her tightly, as if she were his beloved toy, his movements both careful and full of tenderness.
"Thank you, Ningning, thank you, thank you for being willing to go public."
God knows how long he had been waiting for this day.
He had no idea how many surprises he had received tonight.
He felt that there were more surprises than usual tonight.
One wave after another came, as if the surprises would never stop and would never end.
Before she said this, Lu Yining knew that Ji Shiyan would be very happy. But she never expected him to be so excited.
After a few seconds, she moved her hand and slowly hugged him back.
Actually, the reason she changed her mind at the last minute wasn't for any particular reason, but because she had figured it out.
She, the fifth young lady of the Lu family, has no worries about food and drink. And now, the Lu family's company has not gone bankrupt; it is still thriving, and even shows signs of surpassing its past success.
If that's the case, why is she worrying about so much?
If you want to be in a relationship, then go for it!
Let's talk openly and honestly!
Don't worry about what others think or how they see it.
Anyway, she has her family to back her up, so what's there to be afraid of?
"Ningning, Shiyan, ouch, I've got a sty, I'm going to get a sty."
A loud cry shattered the tender moment between the two.
Look at the person coming.
Lu Yining: "..."
Ji Shiyan: "..."
Are you polite?
What does it mean when something appears out of nowhere?
The two parted ways as if nothing had happened, without explanation or further discussion.
They were all in the same production crew, and they could vouch for each other. Everyone in the crew, including the staff, knew about their relationship without saying a word.
However, everyone tacitly kept quiet about it.
There's no point in explaining now that things have come to this.
What's there to explain?
Recalling what Jiang Xinghe had said when he came over, Lu Yining chuckled.
"Don't pretend to be innocent."
