Chapter 616: What A Messy Circle (39)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the end, Ming Shu didn’t chase him away. However, he didn’t get to sleep in her bed. After being beaten twice by Ming Shu, Lu Zhuo gave up and pulled his luggage to the room opposite.
Lu Zhuo cheered himself on secretly. He would not stop until he slept with his wife!
Hence, Ming Shu would have to endure all kinds of pestering from Lu Zhuo everyday. It interrupted her dates with her snacks.
Lu Zhuo was really angry that he was not as important as her snacks.
How were snacks better than him?
I can talk and jump and even warm her bed. How am I second to her snacks?
She would rather sleep with her snacks than sleep with me!
F**k!
Luckily, in Lu Zhuo’s subconscious mind, he felt that snacks were not supposed to be provoked. If not, he might act rashly and hide all the snacks away.
“Are you coming to visit me at the production site?” Lu Zhuo took the chance when he was resting to give Ming Shu a call.
“No, I’m busy,” Ming Shu, straight man cancer patient, said.
Lu Zhuo took a deep breath. He took another deep breath and tried his best to control his urge to shout. “But I have not seen you in a week.”
Straight man cancer patient Ming Shu paused for two seconds. “I always appear in the finance news.”
Lu Zhuo smiled hideously. Should I look at your black and white photo! Lu Zhuo was so angry he hung up. In the scenes after the call, he wore a murderous look on his face. His fellow artists were so afraid, they didn’t even dare to breath heavily and kept making mistakes.
“Mister Lu, for this scene… you do not need to look so murderous,” the director reminded Lu Zhuo tactfully.
“Oh.” Lu Zhuo continued to look murderous.
“…”
Next scene, next scene.
Many directors loved to film with Lu Zhuo because he would finish his scenes in a single take. However, if Lu Zhuo was in a bad mood, that would be impossible.
The best way to solve this was to wait for his mood to turn better before continuing the filming.
Once Lu Zhuo had the time, he asked his assistant to drive him to the company.
However, he didn’t manage to catch her. Ming Shu had gone to inspect a project.
“What project?” Lu Zhuo was surprised. What project needed her to be there personally to inspect it? Did she like some other pretty boy?
The secretary said with a distressed face, “A fruit garden.”
Lu Zhuo: ???
Her company was an entertainment company. Why is she inspecting a fruit garden? Is she crazy?
Ming Shu started be derelict in duty and did something irrelevant as her side business. After a while, the people in the entertainment industry noticed that she made her side business into her main business and they were green with envy.
They couldn’t even do better than another person’s side business. Why were they still alive? They should just go and die.
…
“Brother Lin, will she say yes?”
Lin Wenyue had already answered the question more than 20 times. “Lin Wenyue, you must be more confident in yourself.”
Lu Zhuo paced around. “I am confident in myself. However, I have no confidence in her.”
She loves to go against me!
She’s afraid that she will not be able to anger me to death!
“Boss Xu…” Lin Wenyue thought for a while. “She seems to care a lot about you.”
“Care about me? When? I could ask her ten times and she would only be kind enough to meet me once!” Is this called caring?
Lin Wenyue smiled. “Lu Zhuo, sometimes, the things you see on the surface don’t mean anything.”
Lin Wenyue was the closest to Ming Shu. He knew how many documents she had to deal with every day and the number of meetings she had to attend.
However, despite all this, she still took the time to answer Lu Zhuo’s calls and listen to him talking about unimportant things. She would reply to his messages and plan his schedule. Sometimes, because of his one sentence, she would go and find him personally.
All the dramas that Lu Zhuo took on were given by her. From the quality to the production crew, which one was not the best in the circle?
She gave up a lot for Lu Zhuo but unfortunately, Lu Zhuo didn’t know.
Lin Wenyue patted Lu Zhuo’s shoulder. “I will go and fetch Boss Xu. Prepare yourself. She will say yes.”
Lu Zhuo looked at the flower and ring on the table. He gritted his teeth and thought that she would have to agree no matter what.
…
Ming Shu was lured in by Lin Wenyue. He sent her to the entrance. “Boss Xu, you can go in yourself first. Just walk in straight. I will go to the washroom for a moment.”
“Hey, you…” Lin Wenyue was not young anymore, but he ran away really quickly and disappeared from Ming Shu’s sight in the blink of an eye.
Ming Shu was puzzled. She took out a chocolate from her pocket and took a bite.
This was a plaza. A plaza that was filled with people.
Ming Shu looked at the people that were either standing or sitting in the plaza…
She didn’t even see a stage. Wasn’t she here to save the scene with a speech? Who was she supposed to give the speech to?!
“What is that?”
“It looks like balloons. Hey, they are falling down…”
Ming Shu looked up. Colorful balloons were falling from the sky. The entire sky was filled with balloons.
There were things hanging onto the strings of the balloons. When they got nearer, Ming Shu saw that they were snacks…
Because the weight of each snack was different, the balloons dropped down at different speeds. Hence, the grass was covered with scattered balloons.
One balloon fell in front of Ming Shu. She pulled the string and took the snacks down. Then, she looked at the words on the balloon: Xu Bei, marry me.
It was handwritten.
Every single balloon had these words on it.
“Is this a proposal?”
“Who is Xu Bei? Is she here?”
“This creativity is not bad…”
Muttering started to rise around her.
“Wow!”
Ming Shu followed the gasp of the crowd and looked over. Many balloons were tied together and different kinds of snacks hung on them. It was really colorful and striking.
Ming Shu was a bit far from the group of balloons. However, the balloons were dropping at a very slow speed so she had enough time to walk over.
The people in the plaza was still quite composed. No one fought over the snacks and no one went near the big bunch of balloons.
Ming Shu walked through the center.
“It’s her…”
“So beautiful. Her aura is really good too. I wonder who’s the male protagonist…”
“This proposal is quite wasteful. The name, Xu Bei, is the same as the name of the president of Ancient & Modern Entertainment…”
Ming Shu stood under the balloons. She could reach the box that was hanging onto the balloons just fine. She reached out and grabbed the balloons on top of the box.
Before she could exert any force, something sounded behind her.
Sounds of envy appeared behind her and were accompanied by the sound of water flowing.
Ming Shu pulled the balloons down and hugged the snacks. After that, she turned and looked behind her.
Xu Bei, marry me. These words were formed using the fountain and they were all in different colors.
The music came on,and Lu Zhuo walked amidst the music and stood in front of the fountain. The moment he appeared, the crowd went into an uproar.
“Lu Zhuo… my husband. My husband, ahhh! I saw my husband.”
“Husband, I am here!”
“OMG, I said the name Xu Bei sounded familiar… Wuwuwu, I might have lost my love.”
The fountain slowly died down and Lu Zhuo’s dreamy figure started to become clear.
Ming Shu hugged her snacks. A balloon floated above her. She looked at him quietly.
Lu Zhuo stepped across the wet floor. As he walked, the lights around him seemed to be fading and he became the brightest star.
The screams among the crowd quieted down. They were afraid of disturbing him.
Lu Zhuo stepped past the fountain area and stood in front of Ming Shu. He bowed elegantly and then took out a rose from behind him. He kneeled on one knee. “If you are willing, I will buy snacks for you for your entire life.”
Lin Wenyue said to give her what she liked.
Ming Shu pondered over the snacks in her hand. After hesitating for a while, she finally took the rose from Lu Zhuo.
Some people would not meet their love even if they crossed over mountains and rivers. Others might meet them even if there was a galaxy between the two.
Lu Zhuo… Qi Yu must be the second kind of person.
