Ling Jiuze spoke indifferently while driving, "Director Li wants you to be the female lead in his crew, and I have already refused for you."

Su Xi's eyes twitched and she asked subconsciously, "How do you know?"

Ling Jiuze laughed softly, "I am the biggest funder of this drama now, so of course I know everything."

When talking about the word "finalist", Su Xi couldn't help but remember what the two of them often joked before, and pursed their lips and didn't say anything.

"I know you don't like being watched by people when exposed to the camera, so I didn't ask for your opinion. I won't blame me, right?" Ling Jiuze looked at Su Xi inquiring.

"No!" Su Xi lowered her eyes. She had already refused many times.

This time, the financial owners have spoken, and Director Li should not look for her again.

"Why thank me?" the man said.

Su Xi turned her head in shock and saw the man bathing in the shadow of the evening, with three-dimensional facial features and serious expressions, and he really wanted her to thank him.

Su Xi sneered, "Why do Mr. Ling want me to thank me?"

"You invite this meal today!"

Su Xi didn't expect it to be so simple, and responded happily, "Okay!"

"How good you agree so happily to all my requests!" The man glanced at her with a smile, and his tone was filled with a little undetectable resentment.

Su Xi turned her head and said nothing.

Ling Jiuze took her to Lanyueju. The familiar antique door and walls were the same as before when he entered the backyard, except that the bamboo was denser and the osmanthus tree was thicker.

Ling Jiuze walked in front and Su Xi followed behind.

When he walked to the middle of the road, Ling Jiuze suddenly turned around and chuckled, "Going faster, you have to count the stone steps every time you come. Haven't you clearly counted how many stones there are?"

Su Xi looked up suddenly. The sky was already dark. The dim iron palace lanterns were hidden in the branches and leaves of the osmanthus tree. Under the shadows, the man's eyes were deep and his thin lips were smiling. With a hint of doting, her heart thumped.

This scene was so familiar that even a shadow of the branch was engraved in her memory.

Whenever she came here, she walked step by step on the stone steps under her feet. Ling Jiuze walked very quickly with long legs, waiting for her to stop and laughed at her if she was counting the stone steps so slowly.

In the end, he held her hand and asked her to keep up with him.

The man's eyes were sharp and focused, as if he saw through her.

But Su Xi gradually calmed down and said indifferently, "I won't count anymore."

Ling Jiuze looked at her and then turned around for a while before moving forward.

Su Xi quickly followed.

It was still the elegant room where the two of them had been sitting in before. Sister Hua came over to order food and was very surprised to see Su Xi, "Long time no see!"

Su Xi smiled softly, "I haven't been in Jiangcheng for the past two years."

"No wonder Jiuze comes alone every time." Sister Hua Fengyun's expression was intimate and gentle. She looked at Ling Jiuze meaningfully and smiled at Su Xi, "But he always asks the dishes you like to eat. He must miss you too much. Fortunately, you are finally back."

Su Xi was slightly embarrassed and didn't know how to reply.

Ling Jiuze naturally took over the words, "She came here for a whistle as soon as she came back, especially if she wanted to cook the milk tea from Sister Hua. I would like to add some more sugar to her later to satisfy her cravings."

Su Xi was even more embarrassed and could not refute it.

"No problem, I'll cook it myself." Sister Hua became happier. "I'll treat today's meals, so I want to eat more."

"No!" Su Xi quickly refused.

"You're polite to me. I'm happy today. After today, there will be no such good thing!" Sister Hua said half-jokingly, but in a sincere tone. After that, she didn't give Su Xi a chance to compete, she helped the two order dishes.
