Chapter 40 The Cold War(1/2)

Spare key, in the guest room.

Jiang Shilu searched around but couldn't find it.

Thinking about it, she should have put it away in advance.

"Weiwei."

"Weiwei?"

He called twice, but there was no response.

The discomfort of being drunk gave him a severe headache.

I simply lay down on the sofa with a thin blanket.

Fu Mingwei slept soundly inside.

When he got up the next day, Jiang Shilu was already sitting in the living room.

He hasn't changed his clothes, so it seems he doesn't have to go to the company today.

Fu Mingwei didn't say a word to him the whole time from seeing him to going to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Didn't even give him a look.

This Cold War atmosphere made Jiang Shilu feel uncomfortable for no reason.

"Weiwei."

He spoke again, but his tone was as low as ice.

Fu Mingwei still pretended not to hear.

When she came out with cereal and toast, she was blocked by Jiang Shilu at the kitchen door.

"I'm calling you."

"Sorry, I have bad hearing and didn't hear you."

Her cold and distant attitude made him quite uncomfortable.

She was obviously the one who did the wrong thing, so why is he the one taking advantage of her now?

"Last night, I drank too much. You locked the door when I came back."

"Oh." Fu Mingwei said softly, "Didn't you ask me to lock the door when I go to bed? I just did it. What time did you come back last night? I don't know."

Under the pressure of his height, Fu Mingwei's entire body was shrouded in his shadow.

Her dissatisfaction was barely written on her face.

Now she needs to be coaxed.

She hoped that Jiang Shilu could coax her.

She also hoped that Jiang Shilu would take the initiative to confess to her what happened last night.

But...no.

Jiang Shilu didn't even mention what happened last night.

He just asked her coldly, "What's going on with you and Qin?"

Fu Mingwei laughed a little angrily at that time.

With Qin Si?

News about him came quite quickly.

"What's going on?" Fu Mingwei asked him with raised eyebrows, "You questioned me so early in the morning with a piece of gossip you heard from nowhere, Jiang Shilu, do you think this is reasonable?"

She tried to get out of his way.

However, the other party remained motionless and had no intention of giving in.

"Gossip?" Jiang Shilu stared at her, "So I'm listening to your explanation, but I don't believe it."

"Forget it." Fu Mingwei found it a little funny, "If you didn't believe me, you wouldn't ask me now. Jiang Shilu, after all, you still don't trust me from the bottom of your heart. Do you think I'm different from others when we film a variety show?

What do you have as a man? Even if I have anything with other men, apart from breaking the contract, I don’t seem to have ever felt sorry for you.”

Her tone was very light, but every word was precise, and when connected together, each sentence pierced Jiang Shilu's heart like a sharp weapon.

The dissatisfaction and anger that had accumulated last night completely exploded this morning because of Fu Mingwei's words.

"OK."

"Whatever you want."

The man put down his harsh words and went to the house to change clothes.

When she went out, Fu Mingwei sat at the dining table, but the breakfast on the table was not touched at all.

Jiang Shilu had no intention of caring about her, from leaving the bedroom to leaving the apartment.

He didn't even give her a serious look.

The apartment door clicked shut.

At that moment, Fu Mingwei's heart suddenly fell.

Sure enough, she still lost.

The heroic words made at the beginning have already surrendered before the end of the story.

She fell in love with Jiang Shilu.

Otherwise, she wouldn't feel so uncomfortable.

The toast was tasteless, so she got up and threw it into the trash can, along with last night's leftovers.

Alone and embarrassed, just like her, she was abandoned here.

After a hasty cup of coffee, Fu Mingwei called her assistant to pick her up.

The assistant drove the car decisively to the door of the apartment complex.

The apartments here are very expensive and even registered vehicles are not allowed to enter.

She could only wait outside.

Fu Mingwei came out wearing sunglasses and a thin camel-colored velvet coat. The assistant quickly opened the car door for her.

"Sister Wei, Sister Zhang Yue asked me to tell you that she signed a contract for that movie and asked you to join the crew the day after tomorrow."

"Okay." Fu Mingwei nodded.

The little assistant noticed with sharp eyes that the ends of her eyes seemed a little red.

I can't see clearly with my sunglasses on.

"By the way, Sister Zhang Yue also said that this movie is realistic. It will be shot outside the Great Wall. It will probably take several months to go there, so you should be mentally prepared. The environment outside the Great Wall is very poor. It is not an exaggeration to say that you will be living in the open air."

"Okay." Fu Mingwei still nodded and had no objection to this.

The assistant drove the car and glanced at her from the rearview mirror, "Sister Wei, are you in a bad mood?"

"Maybe I didn't sleep well." Fu Mingwei randomly found a reason.

But the little assistant thought wrongly, "Wow, Mr. Jiang didn't do it again last night...? I feel sorry for Sister Wei, please get some sleep. I'll call you when you get to the set."

"Yeah." Fu Mingwei didn't explain much, leaning against the window and squinting her eyes.

But after closing her eyes, her mind kept repeating the image of that man being handsome, cold, arrogant, coquettish, and all the things she liked.

But in the morning, it was the look she least expected to see.



Arrive at the variety show.

Song Mingxuan and the others haven't arrived yet, and neither has Ning Wan.

But for Qin Si, the surprise came very early.

I got a deck chair for the crew and sat in the garden, feeling comfortable in the early morning sun.

Seeing Fu Mingwei, he opened the willow fan covering his forehead a little, his face expressionless.

Fu Mingwei knew Qin Si was looking at her, so she nodded to say hello.

"Good morning. It's so early for you."

Qin Si said "hmm" in a nonchalant manner.

After a pause, he added, "I'm going to take notice this afternoon."

This means that he arrived early to make up for the afternoon.

Ning Wan followed suit and got out of the car.

I happened to see Fu Mingwei walking from the garden to the hall of the villa.

She probably talked to Qin Si again.
