Seeing Wen Jianing come out, Lu Jinxin had no intention of staying. He asked Lu Jinlang to go back with him.

Before leaving, Lu Jinlang kissed Wen Jianing’s face and said, “You don’t have to wait for me these two days. I will come back naturally when I want to.”

Wen Jianing nodded and drove him to the door, “Take care of yourself.”

After Lu Jinlang and Lu Jinxin left, he went into the bathroom to take shower.

When he went to the company in the morning, Wen Jianing asked Zheng Xin to show him the script of Cao Songquan’s “Springtime Dream”. Zheng Xin also received instruction from Bai Shengzhe and waited for Wen Jianing to get the script.

”Looking for manager Bai?” Zheng Xin asked him.

He smiled, neither admitted nor denied.

”Springtime Dream” is a romantic comedy in Cao Songquan’s style. The story is about the heroine’s active pursuit after falling in love with the male lead at first sight, and his invitation to Wen Jianing is for a very important supporting actor who is the heroine’s best friend. He is together with the heroine all day, goes shopping, styling hair and painting nails, and helps the heroine think of many ways to pursue the male lead.

The script is actually very interesting. The story is also started happily and becomes touching in the later stage. That role has a lot of room to play. The only thing that makes Wen Jianing bothered is his feminine character setting.

When Wen Lin walked into the lounge, he saw Wen Jianing reading the script, so he walked to him and sat down and said, “Was I drunk yesterday?”

Wen Jianing glanced at him and said: “You and Yi Nan, one on the left is crying and one on the right is howling, you guys are killing me.”

Wen Lin sighed and raised his hand to cover his face.

These days, Wen Lin is taking performance classes every day, but he is not idle when he goes back in the evening. He basically writes songs when he has time. He hopes that his songs will be recognized and the company will give him the opportunity to release an album.

Wen Jianing knew, patted him on the shoulder and said, “if you think it’s meaningful, persist. Opportunities are always given to those who work hard.”

Wen Lin nodded seriously.

Wen Jianing suddenly remembered a question, he asked Wen Lin: “Do you think I look like a woman?”

Wen Lin looked at him upon hearing this and said, “No, I don’t.”

Wen Jianing rolled up the script in his hand and said, “What if I play a very feminine man?”

Wen Lin looked at him strangely, “You’ll act as if it’s a natural thing for you.”

After listening to him, Wen Jianing felt that he probably just overthink things. He made up his mind, stood up, took the script and walked to Zheng Xin’s office.

Hearing that Wen Jianing is interested in doing the play, Zheng Xin nodded and said, “I also think this is a good opportunity, so give it a good performance. But I don’t dare to make a decision for you, wait until I’ve discussed it with Manager Bai.”

In fact, to discuss with Manager Bai means to let Lu Jinlang behind Bai Shengzhe decide.

Wen Jianing didn’t say much, just said, “Thank you, Zheng ge.”

After Zheng Xin went to see Bai Shengzhe, Lu Jinlang contacted Wen Jianing. Lu Jinlang called him and asked, “You’ve decided?”

Wen Jianing said: “Yes, I have.”

Lu Jinlang said, “Well, as long as you are sure of your decision.”

About two days later, Zheng Xin told Wen Jianing that there was news from the film crew that the role had been set for him and he didn’t even need to do the audition.

“I don’t need to do an audition?” Wen Jianing was surprised.

Zheng Xin is also a little unsure, so he glanced at Wen Jianing one last time and said, “You can ask Mr. Lu about that.”

Although he only told Wen Tinghuan about his relationship with Lu Jinlang himself, since Wen Tinghuan knew it, it’s impossible for Zheng Xin to not know it. But Zheng Xin never mentioned it in front of him.

In Zheng Xin’s view, Lu Jinlang is a very good resource. If he can use it, he’d better use it to the fullest. However, he won’t take the initiative to ask Wen Jianing to do anything. After all, he’s just an agent and knows his discretion.

In the end, Wen Jianing did not ask Lu Jinlang.

During this period, “The Strange Fate of Hairpin and Phoenix” announced the finale. On the night when the ending was broadcast, Lu Jinlang unexpectedly returned.

“Is your mother getting better?” Wen Jianing asked.

While taking off his coat, Lu Jinlang looked at the scenes of “The Strange Fate of Hairpin and Phoenix” aired on the TV and said, “She is now catching up with this drama. Yesterday, when she saw Ling Zhener slap Xiao Zongyan in the face, and he was put under house arrest, she cried.”

Wen Jianing was silent for a moment.

Lu Jinlang went on to say, “She insisted on pulling me and my second brother to accompany her to watch. My second brother is very grumpy. Now he probably hates you more and more.”

Wen Jianing said: “But it’s not my fault…”

Lu Jinlang smiled, leaned over from behind the back of the sofa and hugged him. He asked, “Do you miss me?”

Wen Jianing turned his head and answered with a kiss instead.

That night, Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing watched the finale of the TV series together. At the end of the story, Ling Zhener fled the capital fled the capital with the already demented Xiao Zongyi, and walked away in disguised, leaving Xiao Zongyan, who succeeded in the rebellion, to guard the cold country alone.

In the last scene of the TV series, Xiao Zongyan is riding a horse and looking into the distance in front of a cliff. His eyes were a little dazed. It was the time for him to be in a high spirit, but he was filled with unspeakable sadness and frustration.

Lu Jinlang suddenly said, “My mother would cry again when she sees your eyes. My second brother is still there today with her, he must be going crazy.”

Wen Jianing imagined the scene, and couldn’t help but smile.

It is also because of this scene that the hot topic “Zongyan don’t cry” appeared on Weibo, and countless girls felt distressed because of Wen Jianing’s expression in the last scene.

That night on the big bed in the bedroom, Wen Jianing felt Lu Jinlang’s movement were a bit intense.

It might have been caused by being separated for several days, but Wen Jianing still couldn’t help saying, “Be gentle.”

Lu Jinlang lowered his head and kissed his forehead. With sweat dripping on his face, he said, “I miss you.”

Wen Jianing heard the words, raised his head and searched for Lu Jinlang’s lips in the dark, and kissed them.

That night, Wen Jianing felt that he had been tossed a little too much. Fortunately, he is now a young man in his early twenties. If he was 34 or 35 years old, he would not be able to withstand such tossing.

But if it was him in the past, Lu Jinlang was probably not interested in tossing him. The next morning, Wen Jianing thought about it while brushing his teeth in the mirror.

After that, he officially signed a contract with the crew of “Springtime Dream” to do the initial preparation of taking photos and costume fittings.

On the day of the fittings, Wen Tinghuan said to Wen Jianing: “You might be going to the box office for the movie this time. Do you know how popular you are now?”

”How popular?” Wen Jianing asked casually.

Wen Tinghuan said: “The media commented that you are a national female killer.”

Wen Jianing asked: “What is a national female killer?”

Wen Tinghuan said: “It includes girl killers, and lady killers. From seven to eight year old girls to seven or 80 year old women, there is no one who doesn’t bow down under your knees.”

Wen Jianing laughed.

Wen Tinghuan said: “My 6 years old niece said that she wanted to marry you after watching the TV series, and my sister-in-law even asked me to come to you for an autograph.”

Wen Jianing then said, “An autograph, right? Hurry up and I’ll sign it for you, so stop talking nonsense.”　　

Wen Jianing’s character in the movie “Springtime Dream” is called Xue You. He is somewhat a bit of a fussy and gossipy character, but he is actually warm and kind.

And in the end, the male lead of the movie is determined to be Fang Mingdong, who is also a domestic first-line actor. He is tall and handsome and fits the character image in the movie.

In order to conform to the character’s image, Wen Jianing started to keep his hair longer after he was chosen. His hair is relatively soft, so even if he does not deliberately style it, it looks very soft. Coupled with his bangs, he looks like a high school student in an instant.

And the dress he tried on was a loose low-neck sweater with a wide neckline and black tight leather pants below.

When he got the costume, Wen Jianing was torn for a moment, but he still went into the dressing room to change.

After putting on the leather pants, he looked down at the crotch and felt that it was too flat. After hesitating for a while, he tucked some socks in, adjusted it for a long time, and when he felt that it looked curved but not exaggerated. Then he walked out.

There was a shot in the makeup photo test that day, which was taken with him sitting on the ground and the camera was aiming at him from top to bottom. In order to show his feminine character, he put his hands in front of his chest and looked up.

In that photo, his collarbone can be clearly seen from under the loose collar. The fingers of both hands are slender and fair, and the bangs slightly cover his eyes. He was clearly a handsome young man.

There is also a photo of him applying lipstick in front of the mirror. The lipstick is bright red. He lowered his head slightly, half of the lipstick is being applied, and his eyes are pointed towards the camera. He suddenly looks a little more gorgeous and enchanting.

After the photo was taken, Wen Ting Huan walked in front of him with her arms on her chest and “tsked” twice.

Wen Jianing was going to change clothes, and said to her, “Don’t be weird.”

Wen Tinghuan said, “More women than me.”

Wen Jianing looked at her exaggeratedly, “So you are a woman?”

”You wanna die?!” Wen Tinghuan was so angry that she almost kicked him.

On the way back, Wen Tinghuan said to him, “By the way, I almost forgot to tell you something. Xu Rujing is getting married, and the invitation for you was sent to the company.”

“Married, huh” Wen Jianing suddenly sighed.

Wen Tinghuan said: “Yes, at that time when you were in competition and Xu Rujing was still a judge, it is still considered as a friendship. The company’s Manager Bai will also participate. You need to prepare your own red envelopes.*”

Wen Jianing mumbled, and said, “Lu Jinlang is going to go too.”

Wen Tinghuan drove the car back to the office, and Wen Jianing drove his own car back to Lu Jin Lang’s apartment. On the way back, he noticed a car following him behind. In fact, this is not the first time it happened. Ever since the “The Strange Fate of Hairpin and Phoenix” broadcast, he has become popular, and will be followed by fans or reporters from time to time. It is no longer a secret that he lives in this apartment now.

There was even news in the Gossip Weekly, saying that Ke Xinhang bought a famous car and bought a luxury mansion after he became popular. They also pointed out that this neighbourhood is a high-end neighbourhood, and the Film Emperor Lu Jinlang also has a house in this neighbourhood.

However, they can only catch up to the door of the neighbourhood at most. And since Wen Jianing drives his car into the parking lot, no one will know which building and floor he lives in.

Lu Jinlang also received Xu Rujing’s invitation, and Xu Rujing personally gave it to him.

”Are you going?” Wen Jianing asked him.

Lu Jinlang nodded, “Of course.”

Both of them will go at that time. Unfortunately, they can’t go together and they can only go there separately.

Xu Rujing’s wedding day was naturally crowded with many celebrities and famous people. Her husband was also a well-known businessman. He married Xu Rujing shortly after his divorce, and he also had a 15-year-old daughter.

The wedding is in a traditional Chinese banquet. Xu Rujing, wearing a wedding dress, personally greeted the guests at the gate, and all reporters were rejected outside the gate.

Wen Jianing is just a small role on this occasion. Xu Rujing thanked him and asked the welcoming waiter to take him in. Everyone’s seats were arranged in advance. Wen Jianing went into the banquet hall, followed the waiter to the next table and saw Yi Nan. However, Wen Lin and Xu Rujing weren’t particularly close, thus he was not invited.

Sitting down beside Yi Nan, Wen Jianing found that there was a middle-aged woman sitting beside Yi Nan. Although the woman was not young, one could still see that her facial features were exquisite and elegant. The woman turned out to be Yi Nan’s mother, Yun Shuying. Seeing the beauty of Yun, Wen Jianing naturally greeted her politely. Unexpectedly, Yun Shuying actually said to Wen Jianing that she had watched his TV series and liked him very much.

While talking, Wen Jianing saw Lu Jinlang coming.

Lu Jinlang’s status is naturally different from his. He saw Xu Rujing’s husband personally send Lu Jinlang in and arranged for him to sit down at the table in the middle of the front.

Xu Rujing has been in the entertainment industry for so many years. Compared with Jiang Yongfei’s birthday banquet, the whole banquet hall has gathered more than half of the major domestic artists. Those who are not available to come also sent a special gift to congratulate them. After Lu Jinlang, Wen Jianing saw Li Rong and Yang Wenchong and the others also came to the wedding.

Yang Wenchong still brought an unknown young model, but Li Rong came alone without a female companion.

However, Lu Jinxin did not appear.

Wen Jianing unconsciously looked over to Lu Jinlang’s side. Li Rong walked over to talk to him. After the two said a few words, Lu Jinlang looked up and looked in Wen Jianing’s direction. Li Rong also looked over, raised his hand and greeted Wen Jianing.

Wen Jianing thought that Lu Jinlang didn’t notice him when he came in, so he couldn’t help but smile.

Yi Nan snorted,  “Why don’t you go and sit there?”

Wen Jianing said, “I’m not qualified to do that.”

The guests came one after another, and the wedding officially began.
