Ji Xiaoli almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ji Xiaoli: What did you say? Wasn't he just after my money before?
[Before was before. Now Zhong Canxi has seen the light and wants to make a living by his own strength. So he likes you more, the one who woke him up.]
It implied that Zhong Canxi had had an epiphany.
He used to be after Ji Xiaoli's money, but now he had come to his senses and began to look at Ji Xiaoli as a person.
Not everyone would help a scheming person like him without bearing a grudge. As time went by, Zhong Canxi was more and more touched by Ji Xiaoli's sincerity and kindness.
That's why there was this confession.
Seeing that Ji Xiaoli didn't say a word and seemed to be shocked, Zhong Canxi said gently but firmly, "It's okay. If you don't like me now, I can wait until you do."
Ji Xiaoli came to her senses, with mixed feelings. "Actually, I..."
"Don't say it. I understand," Zhong Canxi said, putting his index finger on Ji Xiaoli's lips. "But as long as you don't say it out, I can still hold out hope."
Ji Xiaoli's heart skipped a beat. She was just about to say something.
But Zhong Canxi had already taken a step back and left in advance, as if he was afraid that if he stayed a moment longer, he would hear a cruel rejection.

"Click"
The shutter sound rang out. The resourceful Brother Xia had silently captured this famous confession scene again.
Sister Chun took a look at the negative and immediately patted Brother Xia on the shoulder. "Brother Xia, you're amazing! You managed to take such a clear and ambiguous photo."
Yuan Fang also looked at him admiringly. "That's right. Brother Xia, you're really awesome."
Brother Xia laughed helplessly. "It's nothing. But what should we do with this photo?"
Sister Chun squinted at him. "Aren't you just asking rhetorically? Of course, we'll continue to hype it up!"
Yuan Fang nodded repeatedly. "That's right. It would be such a pity to waste such good material."
Brother Xia asked again, "So what should the theme be this time?"
Sister Chun waved her hand. "Simple. The more explosive, the better."
Yuan Fang gave her a thumbs up. "As expected of Sister Chun. You're really good at getting to the essence."
Sister Chun laughed heartily. "Of course. Hurry up and get it done."
They wasted no time and got to work right away.
It was still the same few official accounts. As soon as they posted the photos of Zhong Canxi and Ji Xiaoli, anyone with eyes could tell the look in Zhong Canxi's eyes.
Then they posted the previous photos of Zheng Nanfeng. Half of the article with pictures and proof was done.
#Rich Heir or Young Heartthrob? Who Will the Lucky Girl End Up With?#
"Hello everyone. Today I'm going to talk about our lucky girl again. Yesterday, the Flying Cup came to an end. As a newbie editor, Ji Xiaoli won the Best Screenwriter Award for her first work, which really made me feel ashamed. But in my opinion, the biggest highlight of yesterday's award ceremony wasn't this, but the on - the - spot confession of the popular star Zhong Canxi."
"I was at the scene that day and saw with my own eyes Zhong Canxi say he wanted to marry her tenderly. If there's nothing going on between them, I'll change my surname to Zhong right away. Look at this photo. This perfect and tender confession. Ugh, the sweet smell of love has blinded my eyes."
"However, as far as I know, although the lucky girl is still single at present, the rich heir has been pursuing her all along. And needless to say, our young heartthrob Zhong Canxi was almost single - handedly promoted by Ji Xiaoli. Judging from his look, he's probably been pining after her for a long time."
"With the rich heir in front and the young heartthrob behind, both of them are handsome and infatuated, and they're both chasing Ji Xiaoli relentlessly. In my opinion, there are quite a few reasons for this..."
At the end of the article, it also said, "Let's wait and see who the lucky girl will end up with."
Good news never goes beyond the gate, while bad news spreads far and wide.
With the hype of entertainment veterans like Sister Chun, this gossip - filled article was even more popular than the previous one. It directly made it into the top three on the hot search list and showed a continuous upward trend.
The protagonists were well - known, and the article was full of eye - catching points, so it quickly sparked a heated discussion among netizens.
Zhong Canxi's Fan: Ji Xiaoli must be with Brother Zhong Canxi. The domineering fan and the innocent star, what a perfect CP! I'm dying of happiness!
Qing Qing Zi Jin: When it comes to falling in love, people should be well - matched! Of course, Sister Ji should choose the rich heir!
Besides, there were also many funny and envious netizens.
Meng Meng Da: I'm so jealous. I'm really jealous. What amazing luck Sister Ji has! Just give me one of them, and I'll be satisfied.
However, no matter how heated the online discussion was, Ji Xiaoli knew nothing about it.
She was busy calculating the accounts and sharing the dividends with Tao Guangguang.
As soon as the income from the previous movie was credited, Tao Guangguang came over with his notebook.
He calculated the accounts first and transferred the money to Ji Xiaoli on the spot. Then he came up with a cheesy smile.
Ji Xiaoli clicked her tongue. "Come on. Are you here for another investment?"
Tao Guangguang smiled shamelessly. "Aren't I just trying to make money for President Ji?"
Ji Xiaoli raised an eyebrow. I'll believe you if I'm stupid.
"Didn't I just invest in you last time?"
Tao Guangguang cleared his throat. His thick skin was outrageous. "Well, for investment, of course, the more, the better."
Ji Xiaoli remained unmoved. "Tell the truth."
Tao Guangguang looked shy. "Since you insist, I have no choice. I've spent all the money on equipment. Now I don't have a single cent left."
Ji Xiaoli:?
You spent so much money in just a few days?
Even though Ji Xiaoli was good at spending money, she was still a little shocked by Tao Guangguang's spending speed.
But after all, he was an employee of her company, and she still had to invest if necessary.
President Ji waved her hand and transferred another one billion yuan to him.
"The one - billion - yuan investment has been transferred. Spend the money when it's necessary, and think twice about unnecessary expenses."
Having got the investment, Tao Guangguang was over the moon. "Sure thing. Thank you, President Ji. Don't worry. I'll definitely spend the money on the right things! I'll make sure you earn a fortune!"
Ji Xiaoli remained expressionless, but there was an air of dominance about her. "Money is not a problem. As long as you make good movies, just come to me."
After all, it was all for her money - making business.
Just as Ji Xiaoli was thinking this, the cold system prompt sounded again.
[Congratulations to the player for successfully spending 10,000 points of good - luck value.]
Ji Xiaoli was stunned the moment she heard the prompt.
She didn't seem to have spent money on her parents or Zheng Nanfeng. Where did this good - luck value come from?
Ji Xiaoli frowned and thought for a moment. The only expenditure she had just made was the one - billion - yuan investment for Tao Guangguang.
Having got the investment, Tao Guangguang was about to go back to the film crew. "President Ji, then I'll go back first. Goodbye."
Ji Xiaoli had a guess in mind and immediately called him back.
"Tao Guangguang, come back."
Tao Guangguang looked confused. "What's up, President Ji?"
Ji Xiaoli remained calm. "I'll give you a bonus."
With that, she transferred another ten million yuan.
Tao Guangguang was beaming from ear to ear. "Thank you, President Ji. Thank you, President Ji."
This time, there was no system prompt when the money was credited. Ji Xiaoli's mind was working fast.
"Tao Guangguang, I'll invest another one billion yuan in your project." It's all for my business.
As soon as she thought this, the system prompt sounded again.
[Congratulations to the player for successfully spending 10,000 points of good - luck value.]
