CH 40

What? This matter had already been resolved a few days ago?! It was simply a play directed and acted by Xue Lingqiao!? After listening to their story, Tian Jingzhi was furious. She had been deceived for so long! 

On the side, Feng Dongdong knelt on the carpet and winked Xue Lingqiao. Xue Lingqiao pretended not to see it and continued to sit on the sofa, casually flipping through his book.

Feng Dongdong looked up at Tian Jingzhi and persuaded with a smile, "Miss Tian, calm down first."

Tian Jingzhi glanced down at him, and said with a sneer: "Assistant Feng, you must have felt very satisfied watching me freak out these past few days, didn't you?" 

Feng Dongdong, the aggrieved little daughter-in-law, said, "No, it's Brother Qiao who didn't let me tell you."

Xue Lingqiao glared at Feng Dongdong, before turning to Tian Jingzhi with a guilty look on his face. Tian Jingzhi patted Feng Dongdong's head, looked at Xue Lingqiao, and smiled lightly.pure tl. com is the original translat or, please do not re-post

"So, Monster Xue, are you taking revenge on me?"

Xue Lingqiao also smiled slightly: "No, I just enjoy watching you running out like a headless chicken."

Tian Jingzhi continued to laugh: "So you had a fun time watching me then. Can you tell me when you started doing this?" 

Xue Lingqiao recalled for a moment, the content of the video was directed and acted by him on a dark and windy night a month prior. While Tian Jingzhi thought he was watching an idol drama, he sent the video to a video website and stated in the email that as long as the view count exceeded 50 million, he would send a HD version to them. A few days later, he also recruited Feng Dongdong, a skilled hacker, to help him start the so-called fishing operation.

These things could be done easily whenever the advertisements were playing in between the idol dramas.

Xue Lingqiao crossed his long legs and looked at Tian Jingzhi: "Although I haven't been able to finalize the location, it at least proves a couple of things. That person doesn't want me to be exposed to the public eye, has strong financial resources, and is waiting to capture me at any time." 

Tian Jingzhi is so angry that she has nothing to say. She was a fool. Not only did she continuously worry, she was scared for a white-eyed wolf*! She threw the pillow hard on his head, turned around in anger, and walked back to her room. Feng Dongdong, crawling on the ground, followed her a few steps, and quickly persuaded: "Miss Tian, don't be angry."

(Pure: Chinese slang for a ungrateful person)

Tian Jingzhi kicked him away: "You are fired!"

Feng Dongdong was innocently affected. He didn't want to be fired for these inexplicable reasons. He was at a loss and looked at Xue Lingqiao pitifully: "Brother, what should I do?"

Xue Lingqiao, who was reading a magazine, raised his eyebrows and asked with confidence, "Why did you have to make her angry?"

"..."

There was a loud bang as the door slammed shut upstairs, Xue Lingqiao got up with the magazine and went back to his room, leaving only Feng Dongdong kneeling in the living room, still dumbfounded.

The cold war was a cold war, but work must continue.

Xue Lingqiao drove Tian Jingzhi to the studio together, they silently ignored one another on their way there. Throughout the ride, Tian Jingzhi could smell Xue Lingqiao's scent in the car. It was a slightly bitter tea fragrance. Tian Jingzhi couldn't help but express her impatience, especially when Xue Lingqiao showed his poor driving skills in the parking lot. He was having trouble situating the car into the small parking space.

Tian Jingzhi turned her face towards the car window impatiently, looking unhappy: "I want to get out of the car."

"Wait until I park the car."

It will be dark when you park the car, okay? Tian Jingzhi ignored him, opened the door and got out of the car. Xue Lingqiao hurriedly followed suit, grabbed her wrist, and prevented her from leaving.

Tian Jingzhi turned her head and saw Xue Lingqiao's innocent face, "You have written a letter of guarantee, we are lovers when outside, why do we have a cold war?" pure tl. com is the original translat or, please do not re-post

Tian Jingzhi said speechlessly: "Bro, of course couples will quarrel and fight. Have you never been in a relationship before?"

Xue Lingqiao shook his head: "No."

Five hundred years old, and still haven’t dated before? Waste of time! Tian Jingzhi couldn’t even roll her eyes.
