"Didn't I say it's out of the question?" Lu Zhihang said coldly.
"As long as you agree to renew the contract, we'll try to get you the chance to be a representative abroad... Don't you always hope that your song can spread across the world?" Han Yan said.
Lu Zhihang raised his eyebrows. "You trust me so much?"
Han Yan replied, "We all know your capabilities. You're not like those trendy young stars. You've got both looks and talent. You're truly outstanding. If you continue to cooperate with us, your future will be limitless." Han Yan had never underestimated him.
"Are you willing to let your talent go to waste? I know that acting and music have always been your dreams and your beliefs. You once said that acting is as necessary as eating every day. And... What's the purpose of your daily song - writing? Lu Zhihang, stop deceiving yourself..." Han Yan said, confident that he could persuade him.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Lu Zhihang looked at the two people downstairs and slowly said, "Okay, let's talk."
Han Yan beamed. He knew, based on his years of understanding of Lu Zhihang.
In the evening, Lin Wan woke up but didn't see Lu Zhihang beside her. She sighed. Was she really too reliant on him?
Lin Wan turned on her phone and saw a text message from Zhihang: "Baby, I've got something to attend to. There's your favorite roast duck in the pot. Remember to eat obediently and wait for me to come back. Muah~"
A sweet yet bittersweet feeling welled up in Lin Wan's heart as she curved her lips. How long would this sweetness last? With an uneasy heart, she stared at her favorite food.
Where had he gone? It was already six o'clock. If there was nothing, he should have been back.
Then an unknown number called. "Hello, is this Miss Lin?"
"Yes, I am..."
"This is Yan Hong, the one who talked to you that afternoon. Thank you for your understanding, Miss Lin. Mr. Lu has agreed to renew the contract with our company."
"..." Although Lin Wan had already expected this, she still felt overwhelmed. She hung up the phone and lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Lu Zhihang probably wouldn't come back tonight. She would leave tomorrow, to a place without him.
The phone rang again. It was Lu Zhihang. Lin Wan declined the call and then lay back on the bed.
The long night was endless, and she couldn't fall asleep.
The next day, Lin Wan bought an early - morning plane ticket. She had decided to leave him. After all, a person as outstanding as him was beyond her reach.
At the airport, Lin Wan looked at the blue sky. "Goodbye, Lu Zhihang." Then she picked up her suitcase.
Her black dress perfectly outlined her figure. She was extremely eye - catching even in the crowd.
"Look! That sister is so beautiful!"
"Yeah, yeah! Is she a model?"
"She's so elegant!"
"With such elegance, she must be an actress."
Lin Wan quickly posted a Weibo: "A new beginning." Along with a picture of the blue sky.
The comments below exploded.
"What's wrong with Miss Lin?"
"Did she break up with Mr. L?"
"Miss Lin is just making a simple statement. Don't make up stories in your heads."
"Exactly. I don't know what you're thinking."
"Miss Lin's words sound like a breakup. So sad."
"I think it's quite inspiring. She's just cheering herself up. Miss Lin hasn't said anything, and you're all just blabbering nonsense here."
"Agree with the above! That's the truth!"
"Miss Lin, come out and clarify."
Lin Wan got goosebumps reading these comments. These netizens were all like excellent Chinese students.
"Beauty, can I add you as a friend?" A middle - aged man tried to pick up Lin Wan as soon as she sat down. With his lecherous look, Lin Wan forced a smile and shook her head. This man was old enough to be her father. What was he thinking?
Unexpectedly, the man got angry. "I'm giving you face. Don't act so high - and - mighty. Look at your slutty outfit. You look like a whore!"
Lin Wan's face turned green. Why did she have to meet such a jerk as soon as she went out?
"You'd better watch your mouth!" A familiar voice came from behind. Lu Zhihang grabbed the man's wrist. The lecherous man grimaced in pain. He was about to curse but was shocked when he saw who it was: wasn't this the popular star? He was really unlucky.
"Sorry! Sorry! I was wrong! I was wrong!" The man pleaded desperately.
"Try to bully my girlfriend?" Lu Zhihang grabbed his ear and said coldly, "Apologize to her."
The man was scared out of his wits. He quickly knelt down in front of Lin Wan. "Beauty, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it. Please forgive me."
Lin Wan nodded and said to Lu Zhihang, "Let it go."
Lu Zhihang looked at the man, frowned, and said, "For her sake, get out of here now! Don't let me see you again, or I won't be so lenient!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The man nodded like a bobble - head and then scurried away like a rabbit.
"Wanwan, why are you leaving?" Lu Zhihang affectionately grabbed her hand. "Don't leave me, okay? I can't live without you in my world."
"Lu Zhihang, I can't... I can't hold you back."
"No, you're not holding me back!" Lu Zhihang shouted. "Wanwan, why don't you understand my feelings? Are you stupid?"
"Lu Zhihang... Let me go! I'm not good enough for you. You're a star, and I'm just an ordinary girl."
"Wanwan, I won't let you go!" Lu Zhihang roared. "Why are you so silly?"
"Lu Zhihang, I can't stop you from pursuing your dreams. Besides, you've already returned to the company, haven't you?" Lin Wan sobbed. She still couldn't bear to leave him.
"Silly girl! Who told you to leave? I'll be able to accompany you all the time after the contract expires." Lu Zhihang hugged her tenderly. "I promise I'll never make you sad again!"
"But... Didn't you renew the contract?" Lin Wan said aggrievedly. "That's your belief."
Lu Zhihang shook his head and curved his lips. "You've always been my belief."
Lin Wan shook her head. "No! You're very talented. It would be a pity if you gave it up."
Lu Zhihang said, "I just want to be by your side. There's no such thing as a pity. If I let you go, I'll be sad for the rest of my life."
"But I don't want to hold you back..." Lin Wan said.
Lu Zhihang got a bit angry. "What do you mean by holding me back? There's no such thing in front of you. Please promise me, okay?" Lu Zhihang tightly held her hand, afraid that she would slip away.
"Promise me, don't leave me alone, okay?" There seemed to be stars in Lu Zhihang's eyes. She could see that this man truly loved her.
Finally, Lin Wan nodded heavily. "Okay, I won't leave you!"
Lu Zhihang happily picked her up and spun around. His handsome face was full of smiles. "Great! Great! Wanwan, kiss me!" Lu Zhihang put her down and asked for a kiss from his sweetheart.
As if she didn't hear him, Lin Wan took his hand. "Lu Zhihang, let's go home."
