Chapter 358 - 358: The King of Jealousy Is Jealous Again
While Liang Bing was still feeling depressed, Yan Jin asked her, “Xiao Liang, aren’t you leaving? If you want to stay any longer, we’ll have you film another scene.”
She immediately came back to her senses and replied, “I’ll be leaving now, Director Yan. Goodbye, everyone. See you tomorrow.”
Looking at Liang Bing’s retreating figure, Yan Jin turned to Li Yu.
Li Yu rolled his eyes at him.
The sound of a zither was playing in the elegant private room.
Jiang Ling’er looked at the dishes on the table. They were all her favorite dishes, but she didn’t eat them immediately.
She asked when she saw Li Yu’s uneasy expression, “Li Yu, what’s wrong? You seem a little unhappy. Is it because you haven’t settled your work?”
Li Yu looked at her. Feeling jealous, he replied, “I heard that you guys filmed a love scene,”
Jiang Ling’er was a little helpless. So he was unhappy because It turned out that the King of Jealousy was being envious.
“Yes,” she nodded. “It went very smoothly. I passed it in one try. Why?”
Of course, Li Yu knew that it would be very petty to be unhappy over such a matter, but he couldn’t control himself.
He shook his head, “It’s fine. I was the one who put that content in.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and picked up some food for him. “So are you trying to show off your talent to me?”
“No,” he said angrily.
He was about to die from jealousy, yet she was still teasing him?
“Oh?” Jiang Ling’er asked. “Then why are you grumpy?”
“It’s just that I’m a little uncomfortable and I don’t like it when you treat others so gently,” he replied with a little grievance.
Jiang Ling’er was helpless. Li Yu was getting jealous over the content he wrote by himself. There was really no one else who made it besides him!
She said, “It’s good that you didn’t feel like that when you first wrote the content.”
“That’s different,” Li Yu snorted. “I didn’t expect that the female lead would be my favorite girl.”
She teased, “Oh, CEO Li, are you regretting hiring me?”.
“No,” he said seriously. “I hate myself for being useless and not knowing how to act. Otherwise, how could I have let Yan Li become the male lead?”
If he were to act instead, there would be no changes. Even if some of the film’s content would get banned in the country in the future, it would not be changed at all.
Jiang Ling’er continued to tease, “The script has been changed to be a little conservative, no? After all, what you initially wrote wasn’t simple.”
Hearing this, Li Yu’s mouth twitched a few times.
She continued, “Some fans of the original novel might complain after seeing the film. At that time, they might say, ‘Aiya, what’s this modified version of the story?\'”
Li Yu’s face darkened as he said, “Oh my, what should I do? The food we’ve ordered doesn’t taste so good anymore.”
“Don’t worry. No one in the crew dares to have any ideas about me,” Jiang Ling’er said as she picked up some food for him again.
He looked at her and said seriously, “I know that I seem to be very small-minded now, but I’m still unhappy, especially when I’m being serious. I can imagine what the scenes are like. I’m glad that I stopped myself from reimagining it a second time. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to stop myself from interrupting you.”
Jiang Ling’er could tell that he was really unhappy, so she didn’t continue teasing him.
“Li Yu,” she said seriously, “Both Yan Li and I know what we’re doing. If you don’t want to see me act in emotional scenes in the future, I can take on scripts without emotions. I can also take supporting roles.”
Li Yu said with a sigh, “Anyway, I’ll have to keep an eye on your scripts in the future,”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and replied, “Alright. I’ll rest assured with you watching over me. Now hurry up and eat, or else the food will get cold soon.”
He nodded obediently.
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.
When Jiang Ling’er came downstairs that morning, Old Master Jiang called out to her.
He said, “Ling’er, come and sit with Grandpa for a while,”
Jiang Ling’er was a little puzzled, but she still came over obediently.
“Grandpa, why are you looking for me?” she asked.
“Today is Li Yan’s birthday,” he replied. “The invitation was sent here a few days ago.”
She asked with a frown, “So, what is Grandpa worried about?”
Old Master Jiang shook his head and replied, “I want you and Jing Xian to go together.”
“Grandpa, are you using this opportunity to put aside your differences with the Li family?” Jiang Ling’er asked hesitantly.
“I do have such thoughts,” Old Master Jiang said after a moment of silence. “But not now. I’ll wait until you and Li Yu make it public.”
“Grandpa,” she blushed and replied, “I haven’t thought about a relationship yet.
I’ve only been prioritizing my studies and career..”
