"Husband... Do you really want me to quit the entertainment industry? I... I know I've achieved nothing in most of my life, but I really love acting. I love this job so much. My colleagues are all very nice to me..."
Yuan Meng pouted and wiped away her tears aggrievedly with her hand.
"My agent always praises me for my hard work, and the director also says I'm talented and well - behaved. I really... It's the first time I've been praised. I really like being with my colleagues. Waaah waaah waaah."
However, "Waaah waaah, if you really don't like me doing this job, I... I can quit the industry for you! I can do anything for you!"
Yuan Meng's big eyes were filled with tears, her look determined yet aggrieved. She took out her phone from her pocket and quickly dialed a number.
"I'll... call my agent right now." Yuan Meng sobbed as she pressed the phone buttons, about to call her agent.
Ling Qianchen had only said that she should quit the industry on impulse because he was annoyed by Yuan Meng's crying. He never expected that Yuan Meng would be so obedient.
Ling Qianchen snatched Yuan Meng's phone and hung up the call that was being dialed. "Don't quit. I won't let you quit! Stop crying all the time. It's as if I'm always bullying you. If you want to do it, do it well. Don't complain all the time."
Ling Qianchen threw the phone back into Yuan Meng's lap and went upstairs without another word.
Yuan Meng watched Ling Qianchen go upstairs. There was a strange feeling in her heart.
Was the helpless yet a bit doting expression on Ling Qianchen's face just now real? No, it must be my illusion. He clearly disliked the cute and crying persona just now! Yuan Meng comforted herself in her heart.
However, it seemed that Ling Qianchen was becoming more and more tolerant of her cute persona. This was not good! But... there was only half a month left until the bet expired. Then she could achieve her goal and retreat. Hmph, Chai Yanyu, just wait. Once the deadline is up, your days of arrogance will be over!
Yuan Meng was just thinking about how to take down Chai Yanyu after the deadline when Chai Yanyu showed up on his own initiative.
Ring - ring - ring - ring, ring - ring - ring - ring...
Yuan Meng's phone rang. It was a call from Chai Yanyu.
"Ai Yue, long time no see!" Chai Yanyu's annoying voice came from the phone.
"I don't really want to see you, you annoying bastard!" Yuan Meng got angry just thinking about how Chai Yanyu had made her suffer Ling Qianchen's cold looks for a whole year.
"Boss Ai, don't be so fierce! So, has our charming Boss Ai made Ling Qianchen fall in love with you? Ling Qianchen is not easy to handle, but I'm sure you can succeed!"
Chai Yanyu's tone was full of banter. He even used reverse psychology, and his words were very sarcastic. "No way, no way. It's almost been a year, and Ling Qianchen still hasn't fallen in love with you? Where's your infinite charm, Ai Yue? Or are you so eager to beat me that you don't even care about your image? I'm really looking forward to what you look like now!"
"Chai Yanyu, shut up! Humph, I'm too lazy to talk to you. Don't worry. I will never lose this bet. I have my own way. Chai Yanyu, just wait to be beaten by me after you lose the bet!" Thinking about Ling Qianchen's dislike for her, Yuan Meng was confident that she would win the bet!
"There's still half a month left. We don't know who will be the last one laughing. We'll see each other soon. Bye!" With that, Chai Yanyu quickly hung up the phone, leaving Yuan Meng holding the phone in a daze, fuming with anger.
"This bastard! I'll teach him a lesson in half a month!" Yuan Meng whispered between gritted teeth.
"What are you standing there for? Come up and rest!" Yuan Meng was scolding Chai Yanyu downstairs when suddenly Ling Qianchen appeared at the stairway and called her.
"If you don't come up within five minutes, you'll sleep in the living room." Ling Qianchen left this sentence and turned to go upstairs. He slammed the bedroom door shut.
"All men are bad! A bunch of scumbags!" Yuan Meng cursed as she went upstairs. She definitely couldn't sleep in the living room!
After Yuan Meng went upstairs, she quietly walked into the bedroom. She wanted to try again to see if Ling Qianchen still disliked her.
"Husband! Husband, you're so nice. I knew you were just scolding me on the surface, but you're actually the kindest. You must love me very much. Thank you, husband!" With that, Yuan Meng opened her big rabbit - like eyes and looked at Ling Qianchen, then opened her arms to hug him.
Ling Qianchen frowned at Yuan Meng's coquettish behavior. He felt a bit nauseous. It wasn't that he thought Yuan Meng was disgusting, but he just couldn't stand such a clingy and coquettish woman.
Ling Qianchen stretched out a finger and pressed it against Yuan Meng's forehead, stopping her from hugging him.
"Go sleep on the sofa. You brought this on yourself. Don't blame anyone else." Ling Qianchen coldly ordered Yuan Meng to sleep on the sofa. Then he turned around and went to sleep with his back to Yuan Meng.
Yuan Meng rolled her eyes at Ling Qianchen's back and silently cursed, "Who wants to sleep with you, you bastard!" Then she went to the sofa in the bedroom. At the same time, she felt relieved. As long as Ling Qianchen disliked her, Chai Yanyu was sure to lose!
She had a good night's sleep.
The next day
Early in the morning, Yuan Meng was in the kitchen, playing the role of a good wife. She was making a super - ugly love breakfast specifically to disgust Ling Qianchen. Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
"Who is it? Ringing the doorbell so early." Yuan Meng murmured as she went to answer the door.
On the door - opening system screen, there was a handsome yet annoying face. The owner of the face was using the door - opening system as a mirror to comb his hair. Yuan Meng was startled by this narcissistic face. Taking a closer look, wasn't this the Chai Yanyu she "missed so much"?
Yuan Meng didn't open the door immediately. Instead, she talked to Chai Yanyu through the intercom.
"What are you doing here?!" Yuan Meng's greatest desire at the moment was to strangle Chai Yanyu. She never expected him to come on his own.
"Ai Ai, open the door for me!" Chai Yanyu coquettishly pleaded with Yuan Meng with an innocent look, disgusting her.
Yuan Meng was just looking for a chance to beat Chai Yanyu. She couldn't miss this opportunity.
Yuan Meng opened the door for Chai Yanyu with a cute and gentle smile on her face. As soon as she saw Chai Yanyu, she pinched his arm. "My name is Yuan Meng here. If you call me the wrong name and expose me, you're dead!"
"Oh, our Boss Ai is so unconfident in herself? Do you have to wear a cute disguise to win Ling Qianchen's heart?" Chai Yanyu curled his lips into a mischievous smile. He wanted to see what Yuan Meng was like in front of Ling Qianchen.
"Humph, I'm not doing this to make him fall in love with me. I'm doing this to make you lose. Just wait, Chai Yanyu!" Chai Yanyu had whispered in Yuan Meng's ear when he was teasing her just now. When Yuan Meng replied, they got even closer. Maybe they both thought it was more imposing to provoke each other by whispering in the ear.
"What are you two doing?" Yuan Meng and Chai Yanyu were so focused on their confrontation that neither of them noticed Ling Qianchen getting up and coming downstairs. He slowly stood behind them.
