Smoke lingered in the air, reminding one of a misty mountain and stream landscape.
He walked over and said to his Gong Jie, “Lend me your car.”
The man threw him a glance and asked, “Do you have a license?”
“Yes…”
“Are you sure?” Gong Jie looked at him intently. “If you don’t have this girl’s driver’s license on you, it means you’re driving without a license.”
Hua Jin was speechless.
He was silent for a moment and was about to say something when Gong Jie, anticipating what he was about to say, immediately vetoed him. “Don’t even think about it.”
“… You know what I’m going to say?”
“Nothing more than asking me to be your chauffeur for free.”
Gong Jie snorted arrogantly. “Who do you think you are? Why should I do what you say?”
“…”
The actor begged him nicely, “Please, Gong Jie. This is very important to me.”
“Are you worried that Liang Yin will mess around?”
“Yeah.” That was part of it. “Just drive me this once. The rest of the time, I’ll handle it myself.”
The man remained unmoved, putting on his best “we’re not exactly buddies” expression.
Hua Jin got fed up and huffed, “Never mind! I’ll take a cab myself!”
…
Then he turned and headed for the door.
Behind him, Gong Jie remarked quietly, “Do you have any money on you?”
“…”
“And are you sure you can even get into the hotel if you went to the filming location now?”
“…”
That was enough to stop the actor in his tracks. His head throbbed. Frustrated, he turned to the man with a look of utter despair. “But you’re not helping me!”
Upon hearing this, Gong Jie replied, “I can help you, but it’s conditional.”
Hua Jin took this with trepidation. Not everyone could afford to owe this man a favor. Hua Jin didn’t expect the conditions to be easy. Nevertheless, he steeled himself. “Tell me.”
Gong Jie got up and walked over to him. “From now on,” he said unhurriedly, “you’re not to address Shishi as ‘Sister’ in my presence.”
The actor was dumbfounded.
Gong Jie didn’t like the look on his face. “What? Can’t do it?”
Was that all?
Hua Jin frowned. “Is that all?”
“Uh huh. Not as though I can make you break off your relationship with Shishi.”
The man had been upset over this matter for a long time. Especially when the actor would affectionately call her “Sister” in his presence. He’d been brooding over that ever since.
The actor nodded. ‘OK, deal.’
“It’s a deal!” Gong Jie’s tone was sinister. “If you violate this agreement, I’ll make you pay!”
“Alright… alright…”
The great Young Master Jie!
Inwardly, Hua Jin could not stop rolling his eyes. However, Gong Jie was satisfied to see that he had agreed so readily.
Half an hour later, Gong Jie dropped him off at the hotel. The place was heavily guarded, but for someone like Gong Jie, no amount of security meant anything. He made good on his promise and walked the actor to his room before leaving.
The actor stood at the door and rang the bell.
After a while, he heard Liang Yin coming to the door. Through the door, she asked warily, “Is that you?”
The actor rolled his eyes inwardly. Couldn’t she just look through the peephole?! Was the peephole in the door for show?! This idiot had never stayed in a high-end hotel, had she?
“Yes, it’s me! Open the door!”
There was obviously a moment’s hesitation before Liang Yin opened the door. Hua nimbly ducked into the room, shut the door and locked it behind him.
