Lu Lixing recalled the scene where Jiang Su kissed Ji Qingqing in the video call earlier. It was like a thorn that pierced his heart. Pulling it would be uncomfortable and to not pull would hurt even more.
“How’s your work now? Previously you mentioned that there were some issues with the ongoing project. How is it now?”
“En, It’s all settled.”
“It’s all settled? Then... you’re not busy?”
“En, I’m not busy.”
Ji Qingqing tested. “Then my flight tomorrow would most likely arrive at 5 in the afternoon...”
“Stay safe during your journey when coming back.”
“... Okay.” Ji Qingqing pouted.
It was the end of filming for the rest too. Others would have someone to pick them. Why wasn’t there anyone coming to pick her up?
Nevermind nevermind. President Lu was busy with the company affairs. She should be more understanding.
“Is there anything else?”
“There’s nothing.”
“Then you should get some rest. I still have something going on so I’ll hang up first.”
The video call ended.
Wen Rou brought her a small slice of cake. “Sister Qingqing, have some cake. This cake really tastes good.”
“Ji Qingqing leave the entertainment industry!”
The ‘slogan’ that was shouted directly at her face, for sure was loud.
Ji Qingqing glanced at their young and immature faces and helplessly chuckled.
“Security!” As Qin Yue and Wen Rou stepped forward to protect Ji Qingqing, 2-3 airport staff came forward to separate the group of girls. Even so, it wasn’t safe.
Sounds of hurried footsteps were heard coming towards them.
“Ji Qingqing leave the entertainment industry!” As they shouted, a girl wearing a black mask and carrying a black backpack threw a bottle of water at Ji Qingqing.
Before Ji Qingqing could react, she was hugged by a familiar figure. The plastic bottle landed on that person’s arm.
Ji Qingqing looked up and saw Lu Lixing whose brows were knitted tightly, covering half of her body.
She blurted out in surprise. “Why are you here?”
Lu Lixing looked the same as usual, just that his face was grimmer than before and even more authoritative. Even so, it made Ji Qingqing’s flustered heart settle down.
He swept a glance at the ten girls and they didn’t dare to act rashly.
Soon after, the airport security arrived and brought the ten girls away.
Lu Lixing hugged Ji Qingqing in his arms, protecting her. He covered her fully, preventing anyone from seeing her. After that, they left the airport and drove off.
In the car, Ji Qingqing looked at Lu Lixing. She remembered that the bottle of water earlier seemed to have hit his arm.
