"What's the matter?" The Yuyao asked straightforwardly.
"Yuyao, can you be a bit more courteous when you speak to your fiance?" On the other side of the phone, Du Linghao complained.
Yuyao laughed, her tone softening a bit, but it was clear that she was teasing her, "Alright, my blood fiancé, what can I do for you?"
"I'm going to tour the set, do you want to go with me? The female lead of this movie, isn't that Yuchen? Du Linghao's company was the sponsor of this movie.
"Alright, then come and pick me up." Yuyao picked up her bag and walked out.
When Du Linghao and Yuyao arrived, Yuchen was just finishing filming a set, and the makeup artist was fixing her up.
"Sis." Yuyao walked over with a smile.
"Yuyao, Ling Hao, why are you two here?" Yuchen asked in surprise.
"Of course I'm here to visit. As expected of a lover of all people, pretty when you don't put on makeup. After putting on makeup, it's simply fascinating." Du Linghao said in a glib tone, and then ordered the servants to distribute the high grade drinks he brought with him to everyone.
The director and staff all knew Du Linghao, so they all came over to greet him.
"Sis, it's such a hot day and you're still sitting outside with your thick makeup on. How uncomfortable." Yuyao saw that Yuchen's forehead was constantly sweating, and the makeup artist at the side was unceasingly fixing up her makeup, making her makeup look thicker and thicker.
Yuchen laughed as if she was already used to it, "It's not easy in all walks of life, do you think that when stars look at their bright and beautiful faces, they don't have to pay the price?"
"Luckily this is a city play. Last month, we were shooting court dramas at a hawker store, and Sister Yuchen not only had to make strong makeup, she also had to wear heavy court uniforms. Every time after the shoot, her clothes would be drenched in sweat." The assistant at the side complained.
Yuyao frowned as she held Yuchen's hand and said pitifully, "Sis, it's not so easy to earn money from you. In the future, when I'm exploiting you, I'll definitely do it a little more softly."
"You little girl." Yuchen laughed and tapped her forehead with her finger.
"What a deep sisterly love. It can even be filmed as a play." Suddenly, the soft and gentle voice of a female came from behind, Yuyao subconsciously turned her head, only to see Zuo Ya walking over with an assistant, and stopping beside them.
A look of astonishment flashed across Yuyao's clear eyes, and then, her embroidered eyebrows knitted together little by little. She had thought that she would never see her again in her entire life, yet she actually showed up so openly in front of him.
Zuo Ya laughed arrogantly as she sized her up wantonly, "It's been eight years since we last met. Lu Yuyao, how have you been?"
"I'm still not the same as before, but you, you've changed a lot. As expected, when you're next to a large tree, you're like chickens and dogs rising into the sky." Yuyao never forgave people with her mouth.
If it was the past, Zuo Ya would have jumped a long time ago. But after eight years of training, she could already suppress herself very easily. I just found a good man with good eyes. Oh right, Ru Feng and I are about to get married, at that time I will definitely send you an invitation, don't forget to come here to drink wedding wine. "
The hand Yuyao was hiding behind her back had already been clenched into a fist, green veins were bulging out, but she still had a smile on her face, "I've been rather busy recently, so let's forget about it this time. I'll definitely go next time when you get married."
"You …" Zuo Ya's face turned somewhat ugly, forcing herself not to flare up.
Seeing that the two girls were arguing, Du Linghao rushed over to save the situation. He embraced Yuyao and said to Zuo Ya, "Miss Zuo, hello, I am the investor for this movie, Du Linghao."
"Hello." Zuo Ya charmingly smiled and politely shook hands with Du Linghao. He naturally could not offend an investor.
"I didn't expect Miss Zuo and my fiancée to know each other. Are they old friends?"
Zuo Ya did not expect the Yuyao to be engaged, and sized up the man in front of him without leaving a trace. She was handsome with a lot of gold, and was not much weaker than Ji Rufeng.
"Yuyao and I are high school classmates, and we are even on the same table." she replied.
"To be able to sit at the same table as Miss Zuo, my sister has truly been fortunate for three lifetimes." Lu Yuchen interrupted, but her tone was clearly full of ridicule.
Zuo Ya replied in a neutral tone, "It's my fortune, to be able to not even know that Yuyao is the daughter of a general after all. She has hidden it well."
"How can I hide like you? Zuo Ya, I, Lu Yuyao, admit defeat to you." Yuyao snorted with disdain.
Everyone present could smell the strong scent of gunpowder, and the director promptly called Zuo Ya away, ready to record the next group.
Yuchen also didn't think that the two would collide with each other, and with a look of regret, she explained, "The woman who was supposed to be the second female lead wasn't her, I don't know why but she changed people at the last minute."
"Do you want me to tell the director to replace her and give you some pointers?" Du Linghao asked.
"No need, I'm not that childish." After the Yuyao finished speaking, she sat down on a rattan chair, seemed to have thought of something, and raised her head to look at Du Linghao, asking, "Why don't you ask me what my relationship with her is?"
Du Linghao casually smiled, "Do you even need to ask, just by looking at his, you can tell that he is a love rival. "Only when a love rival meets you can there be a red light in his eyes."
"My eyes are red? What qualifications does she have to make me jealous? " Yuyao grumbled, and casually looked at the script on the table.
In a vulgar drama, Lu Yuchen's number one female lead and Zuo Ya's number two fell for the same man, while the two fought over one man.
Yuyao laughed, thinking, this is truly as funny as life itself.
"Sis, when will you finish filming?"
"One more round and it's over." Yuchen replied.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to come home."
Yuchen and Zuo Ya finished their final match opposite of each other, and the two of them walked out of the set together.
It was unknown whether Zuo Ya did it on purpose or if she had already made an agreement with Ji Rufeng. In short, when the few of them walked out of the set, Ji Rufeng's car was parked outside the door.
It had been eight years, and this was the first time the two of them had met. She was originally hugging Du Linghao's arm, but her small hands suddenly clenched, causing Du Linghao to feel pain. He immediately understood that this handsome, steady, extraordinary man in front of him was Yuyao's unforgettable first love.
"Ru Feng, you're here. "Since you're so busy, you don't have to spare any time to pick me up." Zuo Ya reached out his hand and intimately stopped his arm, his water-snake-like waist practically sticking to his black suit. He smiled coquettishly and continued, "I was just taking part in this play temporarily, I didn't think that the female lead would be Senior Yuchen. Yuyao is here to look out for you. Ru Feng, we were alumni in the past, it's the right time to greet each other. "
Ji Rufeng gave a warm smile, and gave Yuchen and Yuyao a symbolic nod. His cold eyes swept over Yuchen, and finally landed on her body as he said stingy words, "Long time no see."
The light in Yuyao's eyes dimmed slightly, but she did not give any response, and only tightened her grip on Du Linghao's arm. She had imagined countless times how it would be when they met, but she had never expected it to be like this. His expression was calm, without any ripples, without any hate, without any love.
Lu Yuchen pulled the corner of Yuyao's clothes and said: Yao Yao, let's go.
"Yes." Yuyao nodded, her face pale white, her voice weak. Just as she was about to leave with Du Linghao in her arms, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Yaoyao, why are you being so rude? Since we met an old acquaintance, we should at least greet him. How about we go east and invite Miss Zuo to have a meal with this mister?" Du Linghao smiled warmly as he wrapped his arm around Yuyao's slim waist and pulled her into his embrace.
Ji Rufeng slightly lowered his head, his sword-like eyebrows knitted together as he coldly stared at Du Linghao's hand around Yuyao's waist.
Zuo Ya lightly pursed her red lips, her expression becoming somewhat unnatural as she gave a stiff smile, "I don't think there's a need for that, we still have to …"
"Miss Zuo, you don't have to hurry to roll in the bed. You should first eat a meal before you have the strength to do so, right?" Du Linghao laughed in ridicule, with a bit of evil spirit at the corner of his mouth.
Zuo Ya's face alternated between red and white, and her gaze subconsciously turned to look at Ji Rufeng. Her handsome face did not change, but only formed a cold smile with the corner of her lips, "Every time Mr. Du finishes eating, he rolls in bed with a woman? Just because you have such a hobby does not mean that others do too. "
Du Linghao was startled, he did not expect Ji Rufeng to have such a reply, it was really sharp. Maybe it was because of the man's sensitivity, but Du Linghao was not simple either. He could probably guess where Ji Rufeng's weakness was. Thus, he hugged Yuyao even more tightly, looked into her eyes, and said in an ambiguous tone, "Screw off with your own woman, this is a way to express your love, Yao Yao, don't you agree?"
Yuyao glared at him fiercely and turned her head towards you.
Sure enough, Ji Rufeng's expression changed slightly, but he remained calm and collected. Xiao Ya, let's go. It's better not to disturb the love between Mister Du and Miss Lu. "
He turned and walked down the steps.
Zuo Ya bit her lower lip and quickly followed, as if sshe was afraid of being abandoned, he anxiously opened the car door and sat in the front seat, then drove away.
After Ji Rufeng left, the Yuyao pulled Du Linghao's hand down from his waist as if he was venting his anger. Du Linghao giggled, and obediently withdrew his arm.
"Yuyao, let's go back. Don't let your mood get bad because of people you don't know." Yuchen comforted his sister as she held her hand.
"Oh." Yuyao replied with a silly smile on her face.
"Yuchen, you go back first. I will go on a date with Yao Yao and hand her over to me. You can rest assured." Du Linghao smiled and put his arm around Yuyao's shoulders.
"Mn, then I'll head back first. Yuyao, don't go home too late." After Lu Yuchen finished her words, she drove away.
"Du Linghao, you are acting too much." The Yuyao leaned back with her elbow and smashed into Du Linghao's chest. He took a step back in pain, and pulled her arm away from the Yuyao's shoulder.
He held onto his heart, and said pitifully: "Lu Yuyao, you want to murder your husband?"
"Are you done yet?" Do you want me to call your woman and let her see your super high acting skills? " Lu Yuyao took out her phone, but just as she was about to dial, he was stopped.
"Don't you have a conscience? I was helping you just now. "Now that you're eloquent, why didn't you say anything in front of that man just now?" Du Linghao complained.
Yuyao's expression dimmed a little. That's right, why was there not a single word of retort in front of him? Perhaps, it was too sudden, she did not think that they would meet again, nor did she think that he would come back. Didn't they say that when they turned around that time, they would be saying their goodbyes forever?
"I'm tired, send me back." Yuyao said lightly.
Don't, didn't I say I was going on a date? If you go home now, your sister will definitely suspect you." "Come on, let's go eat something. No, I'll accompany you to the bar for a drink, and then we'll get drunk and clear our sorrows, right?" "… …" "" After Du Linghao finished speaking, he stuffed her into the car without giving her a chance to refute.
He drove her to the bar in Sanlitun and they sat at the bar and ordered two glasses of vodka.
Under the dim neon light, Yuyao rested her chin on her hand and sipped on her wine. Her eyes were unfocused, as if she had fallen into deep thought.
Ji Rufeng, since he left eight years ago, why did he still come back? Why did he still want to disturb her peaceful new lake?
"Why are you not saying anything? If your heart is in pain, then just cry. Aren't you afraid of getting sick from holding it in like this?" Du Linghao swayed the goblet in his hand and said indifferently.
"Who said I was in pain?" Yuyao lowered her head, still drinking the wine, but his tears still rolled in his eyes. In the end, her eyes could not bear the weight of the tears. A single tear slowly flowed down her pale face.
She tilted her head and wiped the tears off her face with the back of her hand without leaving a trace. Then, she forced a smile.
Looking at her expression, Du Linghao felt extremely anxious, "Yuyao, I have told you my story, but you can't tell me your story? Although my identity as fiance is fake, we are still friends, right? "
Yuyao smiled, with a hint of bitterness, she replied, "I have nothing else to say. With that story of yours, I don't want to hear it either. It was you that shamelessly insisted on telling me. "
In the eyes of the Yuyao, Du Linghao's story was extremely boring and vulgar. He had a girlfriend that he had been in love with for four years, and that girl was actually his niece's home tutor. She was beautiful and pure and cute.
That girl was like a drifter, his parents were both ordinary workers in third-tier cities. Other than having a bad background, girls are almost impeccable. However, the Du Family was an illustrious family, and Du Linghao was only his only son. How could he allow a daughter-in-law of such background to enter the clan? The two of them had been secretly in love, but there was no such thing as a secret love affair. Upon hearing the news, the Du Family started to arrange a blind date for Du Linghao.
Unfortunately, Yuyao became this unlucky matchmaking partner.
The first time they met, Du Linghao went straight to the point and told Yuyao that he had a girlfriend, and that there was no hope for the two of them. At that time, Yuyao was also busy dealing with her family, so she had an idea and suggested that the two of them pretend to be in a relationship to be each other's shield.
They could be said to have gotten married in one fell swoop, and they were even engaged very quickly. Du Linghao and his girlfriend were still as hot as butter, and after Yuyao returned home, her ears were already peaceful.
"If you don't want to say it, then forget it." Du Linghao shrugged, and ordered another cup of wine. As he drank, he said slowly, "After all these years of not giving up your boyfriend, and using me as a shield, you aren't waiting for him, right?"
"None of your business." Yuyao rolled her eyes, this man was good in everything, just that she was too nagging.
"Such a harsh tone … You must be feeling guilty, right? It seems that what I said was the truth." Du Linghao laughed and waved the wine cup in his hand, "I think he cares about you a lot."
Lu Yuyao stared at him for a good while, then stretched out her arm and waved it in front of his eyes, "Is there a problem with your eyes? Didn't you see that there is already someone by his side?! Should I wait for him? Why should I wait for him? Did he wait for me? With a beauty in his arms, he has not felt wronged at all over these years. "
Du Linghao rubbed his mouth shut, pretending to be exaggerated as he said, "Why is it so sour, so it's because I'm jealous. Yet you're still jealous for him, which means that you haven't forgotten him in your heart. "
Yuyao lead white fingers clenched onto the wine cup tightly, refusing to admit it, but she did not refute her. The corner of her mouth raised into an extremely bitter smile.
She swore, she really wanted to forget, but why couldn't she?
Yuyao drank all the wine in her cup and did not continue to ask for more. Instead, she picked up her bag and prepared to leave. If she drank any more, she would get drunk. After getting drunk, she would become more vulnerable.
"Let's go. It's time for you to return and accompany your woman. I don't dare to disturb your love."
At the same time, on the other side of the road, Ji Rufeng was driving back to the hotel.
In the narrow space, the atmosphere was eerily silent. Zuo Ya tried to speak several times but her voice was stuck in her throat. Through the rearview mirror, she saw Ji Rufeng's handsome and cold side face.
