Soon, Luo Yize was about to kiss Qiao Yinuo.
Just as his lips were about to touch hers, the phone in his pocket rang.
Luo Yize picked up the phone. When he saw that the caller ID was "He Jing", he deliberately waited for fifteen seconds before answering.
On the other end of the phone, the person burst out laughing, "Hahaha, Aze, there's a way to heaven but you don't take it. You insist on barging into the gates of hell. I really can't figure you out. Now the news is full of reports about you and her. Come on, you've already slept together. When are you going to make your relationship public?"
"I'm telling you, who I'm with is none of your business," Luo Yize said in a deep voice.
"Oh, what does she have that I don't? She's just a small screenwriter. Don't forget, if it weren't for her writing skills, she'd be nothing. Don't you know that she was fired from the newspaper before?"
Luo Yize's expression began to change.
But the other person didn't back down. She became humble and said, "Aze, do you really have no feelings for me at all? It was you who chased after me back then, who went all out to pursue me. I've always said that there were just misunderstandings between us. For your sake, I've even broken up with that man. Don't you know that I still love you deeply? Can't you see all this?"
"Enough!" Luo Yize finally couldn't hold back. "I've said many times that it's over between us. I advise you to give up this idea. Also, Qiao Yinuo is my woman now. We'll make our relationship public sooner or later. I advise you to let go and stop being so stubborn."
"Hehe, don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit."
"What do you want to do?"
"I'll make you change your mind sooner or later. Just wait and see."
The person on the other end hung up the phone very determinedly. Luo Yize slowly put down the phone. From his eyes, one could see that the passion from before was gone.
He seemed to have seen through the situation. He Jing was planning step by step to get back together with him.
Luo Yize let out a soft sigh. "Yinuo, I'm afraid I can't wait much longer."
Can't wait much longer? Was Luo Yize serious?
Right now, Qiao Yinuo didn't want to be in a relationship at all, while Luo Yize had shown the strongest desire for love towards her.
Then Luo Yize spoke again. "Be my woman."
"Why?"
"Before, you always protected me. Now it's my turn to protect you."
Qiao Yinuo could tell that there was something behind Luo Yize's words. She didn't even need to think to know who the person on the phone was because she had heard the whole conversation clearly.
She could see that He Jing had gotten the leading female role by relying on her relationship with Director Li in order to get back together with Luo Yize. And Luo Yize, in order to make Qiao Yinuo accept his love, had replaced He Jing with her for the leading female role.
If that was the reason, how could Qiao Yinuo bear to accept Luo Yize's way of courting?
Seeing that Qiao Yinuo didn't say a word for a long time, Luo Yize continued, "I'll give you time to think about it, because I can't wait any longer."
When Luo Yize turned around and left, Qiao Yinuo stared blankly at his back as he walked away. She didn't react for a long time.
When she got home, she sat beside the computer, sorting out the pictures of Luo Yize's daily life, his photo shoots, stills from his dramas, and even the emojis, posters, and short videos she had carefully made.
Suddenly, she found a carefully designed poster of hers. The picture on it was a photo of Luo Yize when he was a child. He was so cute back then. Below the poster was a line of text written by Qiao Yinuo in the most concise language and with an artistic font effect.
The content of the text was:
"Fate gives what it will, but I'll have you even if fate doesn't. If I can have you, I'll surely keep you in a golden cage."
Qiao Yinuo couldn't help but laugh when she saw the words she had written before. In the past, when she was free, she was like a cat in heat whenever she saw someone she liked. Now, it was ironic that Luo Yize had really fallen for her.
It was time for the official shooting.
It felt like the first day Qiao Yinuo went to work. She still remembered the scene of her first day at the newspaper office. She was so afraid of being late that she ended up being late anyway, and it happened to be raining.
After she got to the office, she was severely scolded by the leader. How could she be late on her first day of work?
Fortunately, it didn't rain this time when she went out. The only problem was the traffic jam. Qiao Yinuo thought that she had left half an hour earlier. The experience of being late on her first day of work had made her feel a sense of crisis and urgency in everything she did.
