Speak Money Not Love with the Master

The aroma of the tea slowly began to linger in his nose, “How come you’re living here?”

That should be her question, “How come you know I’m living here?”

“Is knowing where you live the question?”

Ye Wei shrugged. “Okay, you win. I came to live here after graduating from college. It’s grown on me.”

“Are you not worried about safety issues?”

“If you’re referring to the paparazzi, they probably can’t guess that I’m living here. My private life these past few years also doesn’t warrant anything for the paparazzi to follow.” She laughed, “They’ve long given up on me.”

At this moment, her phone rang. It was a WeChat voice message:【Sis, I’ll buy the stuff you want tomorrow. Also, which closing restaurant’s spicy rice-flour noodles do you want to eat?】

Ye Wei typed a response: 【Got it.】

Little Qiao sent a voice message again: 【Sis, on your orders, Young Master Xu’s flowers have already been thrown away. Only, we didn’t throw it in the trash. The girls at the front desk liked them very much.】

Ye Wei felt a gaze on her. She looked up and met his eyes, calm like waves. She smiled awkwardly, “Declaration: Master Xu and I really don’t have any relationship.” About the trending searches a few days ago, she didn’t know whether or not Luo Chengyu had bothered to follow up on this matter. What’s more, before they got together, they had said before that, during the time they were together, they couldn’t have another person. If there was, then this relationship would be terminated.

The most crucial point was that Xu Zhi’ang was not a stranger. He was Luo Chengyu’s younger cousin. According to the past, it’s not like she had to explain these things. But it so happened that she now had to give a self-explanation. Don’t presume that she’s caused some kind of mess out of things.

Luo Chengyu didn’t say anything. Ye Wei waited for him to respond. After a long time, he asked, “Have you eaten dinner?”

What’s he going on about?

She shook her head, “I haven’t.”

Luo Chengyu took out his phone and called Yang Lin to buy dinner.

No more than half an hour had passed when Yang Lin returned, carrying a large box of food. Ye Wei took it to the dining table.

She opened the box and one by one took out what was inside. Ye Wei gestured, “Please sit, Head Chief Luo.”

Luo Chengyu took off his outerwear, rolled up his cuffs and went to wash his hands. After coming back, he sat across from her. Ye Wei said, “You’re letting me eat such a luxurious and exquisite French meal, that a female actress such as I would feel disinclined about not having manners.”

“Then I’ll eat. You can watch.”

Ye Wei: “…”

I’ll stab you to death with a fork!

Ye Wei sobered up as Yang Lin brought over wine. This was the first time the two sat together and had a meal; it was even at her house. She felt that it was especially inconceivable.

“I ought to have treated you to a meal as thanks. I haven’t personally expressed my thanks for the matter about <The Seamen>.” She raised her glass. Luo Chengyu eyelid slightly raised, “Is hair a dish that goes well with alcoholic drinks?”

Ye Wei put down the glass. With a creak, she kicked the chair and walked off to the bathroom.

Thank you, my ass. This sister is in her own house, what does have to matter with you?

She brushed her hair and showed off a smiling face, “Are you satisfied?”

“It’s barely presentable. I am not used to eating together with a lunatic.”

“Head Chief Luo. Next time, I’ll welcome you. Come again…” At the word “welcome”, she bit down on her teeth so hard that one could almost hear the sound of something breaking.

Luo Chengyu did not see this anger. He even laughed out all of the sudden, “Okay.”

Ye Wei held the wine glass, drinking up the wine in one breath. A master is indeed a master. Sure enough, a wise and farsighted person was different from ordinary people.

Luo Chengyu ate just like how his people did, without any expressions and no emotions. Such a delicious-looking foie gras, sweet vegetables, and a rich-smelling grape wine. Ye Wei only ate a bowl of noodles today. Right now, it was like she’d been handed over a chunk of bread but she could still taste the exquisite caviar sauce and onsen tamago.

The two people didn’t talk, yet the wine was soon gone. Ye Wei tidied up the things and put them into the take-out box. Luo Chengyu sat on the sofa. Placed on the small side table was her script.

She filled new water into the teapot, poured two cups, and sat cross-legged on the carpet.

“After I enter the crew in a week, let’s get in touch again after I leave the mountain.”

“Is the shooting in the mountains?”

“No, we basically do not come out after entering the crew. We can not easily request time off for this drama. With the reputation of Director Qu in the industry, if I make a mistake, who will find me to shoot dramas/movies in the future?”

“That old man Qu can drink and loves it.”

Ye Wei raised her eyebrow and cupped her fist with the other hand as a sign of respect, “Many thanks.”

She was nevertheless very happy, having drank wine and hot tea. As such, a thin layer of sweat covered her body. She threw her jacket to one side. Inside was a thin, silk pajama, with a V neck, not covering her body at all.

She rubbed her cheeks while chuckling. Under the light, her clean white face had a bit of a peach pink blush. She held the belly of the teacup, upon which two red marks appeared. She rubbed her finger pads. His gaze was stuck on her earlobes. They were plump and mellow, the pierced ear showing a tiny hole. A long swan-like neck. The thin sweat, that slightly seeped out, moistened the few runaway strands of hair. It seemed as if he could see her slightly raised neckline in his intoxicated restless state.

A few times, Ye Wei glanced towards the clock on the wall. From 11:30, 12:00 and then at 12:15.

Why wasn’t he leaving yet?
