Lu Mian left, leaving Ning Lan stunned on the spot. Ning Lan’s happiness was shattered as if she had been severely humiliated. “Cheng Yi, is Brother Lu Mian in love?

“He should be. Otherwise, who else is that diamond for?” Without waiting for Cheng Yi to answer, Ning Lan answered it herself. She felt sad and disappointed, as if she had just lost something dear.

“How is that possible! A necklace could mean so many things. Miss, don’t try to guess what Lu Mian is thinking,” Cheng Yi immediately tried to misdirect her. Jiang Zhi and Lu Mian were not yet strong enough to come out in public, it was better to keep it under wraps as long as he could.

“Really? Then I’ll believe you this time! Don’t you dare to lie to me!” Ning Lan’s sorrow eased a little, and she used her eyes to warn Cheng Yi. If he dared to lie to her, he would be finished!

Cheng Yi nodded repeatedly. “Of course! Let’s go. There’s nothing else to see.”

Compared to Ning Lan, he was more afraid of Lu Mian…

Lu Mian was holding the necklace in his hand. As he started imagining putting this on Jiang Zhi, he could not help but smile.

Jiang Zhi was taking a shower when she suddenly heard a knock on the door. She was a little confused. She wrapped herself in a towel and looked through the peephole. She found that Lu Mian had returned.

Only then did she open the door and reveal half of her head. “Ah Mian, the other actors will be back soon. Wu Dai will be coming over later to talk about the script. If there’s anything else, we can talk about it tomorrow, okay?”

Lu Mian could feel the heat from Jiang Zhi’s body as well as the slightly exposed towel. His Adam’s apple bobbed and his voice was firm and aggrieved. “Zhi Zhi, I want to come in.”

“Don’t say that…” Jiang Zhi shrunk her head and tightened the towel on her body. “Ah Mian, you’re tired too. Let’s do this tomorrow.”

“Then I’ll stay at the door until you let me in.” Lu Mian was not in a hurry. He just stood at the door and looked at Jiang Zhi with a smile.

After a while, a part of the staff members came back one after another. Their voices made Jiang Zhi nervous.

Jiang Zhi heard the approaching footsteps and dragged him in. The door was closed again, and she was relieved when the footsteps gradually disappeared.

However, she did not expect her towel to nearly unravel in the process. Lu Mian looked at her heaving chest, and his eyes narrowed.

“Did you miss me?” Lu Mian lifted Jiang Zhi’s wet hair and took in her fragrance. He could not help but kiss her deeply.

Jiang Zhi kissed Lu Mian’s forehead back to save her hair. She looked at it with a resentful look, but it could have easily been mistaken as a coquettish action. “I thought about it,” she complained in her heart. He was only gone for two hours when she had expected him to be gone for the entire night.

Jiang Zhi was about to go back and put on her clothes when Lu Mian pulled her back. Jiang Zhi’s back was exposed, and her cheeks were a little red. Her eyes were misty, and her tender red lips were too alluring.

“I missed you, Zhi Zhi.” Lu Mian buried his head between Jiang Zhi’s neck and breathed in her scent. The fatigue of his journey was gone.

Jiang Zhi felt an itch on her neck. She shrunk her neck and said gently, “Okay, stop fooling around. In a while… Hmm…”

Lu Mian leaned over and kissed her red lips, stopping Jiang Zhi from finishing her words. The kiss was hot and long.

They had only been separated for two hours, but Lu Mian felt like it had been a lifetime.
