Fei Zhao went to park the car at the hospital.
Lu Yanming carried Li Zhen into the hospital.
The hospital was bustling with people coming and going. But as soon as he appeared, tall and long-legged, dressed in a suit, he instantly attracted many gazes.
Li Zhen tugged at his arm, shyly burying her face in his embrace, "Mr. Lu, put me down..."
Lu Yanming chuckled softly, "Okay."
He placed Li Zhen on a chair in the lobby and went to register.
Sitting next to Li Zhen was a young mother, playing with her phone in one hand while getting an IV in the other.
Next to her was a soft, chubby little girl snuggling up to her, looking at a comic book.
There was also a man, sitting to the side, opening three freshly made cups of instant noodles, "Dear, which flavor do you want?"
The young mother shook her head, "I don't want instant noodles anymore, honey can you buy me a sandwich instead?"
"Sure, wait for me." The man agreed without hesitation, closed the noodle cups, got up and walked out.
Li Zhen glanced at the family of three from the corner of her eye.
So warm.
She was a little envious of the little girl for a moment, and also envious of the young mother.
"Plop", the girl's book fell to the ground.
Right by Li Zhen's feet. Li Zhen bent over to pick it up.
"Thank you pretty auntie." The little girl took it back and thanked her sweetly.
Li Zhen's heart instantly melted into a puddle, "You're welcome, sweetie."
The little girl moved closer to Li Zhen's arms, very intimate, "Auntie, is that super handsome uncle who carried you your boyfriend?"
The little girl lifted her short chubby hand and pointed to Lu Yanming, who was not far away lining up.
He was wearing a gray suit, sleeves slightly rolled up, revealing his strong, muscular forearms and expensive watch.
Tall and extraordinarily handsome.
Among the crowd of people lining up, he stood out too much.
Li Zhen was suddenly overcome by boastfulness, proudly lifting her chin, "That's my husband."
The little girl immediately looked at her enviously, starry-eyed, "Auntie, then when you divorce, can you lend that uncle to me as my husband for a few days?"
Li Zhen: "Uh..."
The young mother immediately covered the little girl's mouth, "Don't talk nonsense!"
The little girl struggled free, "But mom, you said that ordinary-looking men are good men, and too handsome men are unreliable, so big sister will definitely get divorced in a few days!"
"But that uncle is so handsome, I like him!"
Li Zhen couldn't help but laugh out loud at the little girl's words, "No, sweetie, that uncle is also very good, a very good handsome uncle."
"Ah..." The little girl looked disappointed, stomping her feet in frustration, "Then auntie will you and uncle be together forever? Then I don't have a chance anymore..."
"I'm afraid not, you really don't have a chance."
The pleasant male voice rang out over the three.
Li Zhen looked up to see Lu Yanming had gotten the registration slip.
The little girl pouted, her eyes reddening from being upset by the handsome uncle's words.
Li Zhen glared at Lu Yanming.
The next second, Lu Yanming picked her up and walked forward.
Li Zhen: "Mr. Lu, you're carrying me again!"
"To prove that handsome men can also be considerate." Lu Yanming chuckled lightly.
Li Zhen's heart skipped a beat.
She looked up and clearly saw Lu Yanming's full Adam's apple.
His bangs were neat and clean, and his cold eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were smiling as they lingered on her.
Her memory inadvertently went back to the first time she saw him at the bar.
It was the same angle she looked at him.
She was stunned by his appearance at the time, but who could have imagined they would have so much interaction.
"We're in public, don't look at me like that..." Lu Yanming lowered his head and gently kissed the corner of her mouth.
Li Zhen's heart suddenly beat faster.
Thump thump, beating loudly.
Getting louder and louder.
Her face visibly reddened under the fluorescent lights in the hospital hallway. Her skin was like a peeled egg, adding a touch of red, temptingly beautiful.
Lu Yanming stopped and his tone was slightly surprised, "What's wrong? Hot?"
"A little, maybe because there are too many people in the hospital and stuffy." Li Zhen bit her lip.
"Oh..." Lu Yanming nodded thoughtfully, holding the woman in his arms even tighter as he walked forward, "I thought Zhen Zhen was shy from my kiss."
Li Zhen: ...So you were deliberately asking when you already knew?
Li Zhen pursed her lips without answering.
When Li Zhen came out of the hospital, she had Lu Yanming take her back to her current dormitory.
The next day at the studio, everyone was chattering excitedly.
Li Zhen was puzzled until Zhang Xiya came over and pulled her, "Zhen Zhen! Something happened to our spokesperson."
So that was what it was about.
Apparently the news of Zhou Chaowen and Dong Wanwan's divorce had come out.
Li Zhen sat calmly on the side.
Zhang Xiya sat down next to her, "That Dong Wanwan, your former schoolmate, her affair videos were exposed, and she was caught for tax evasion, and also previously used date rape drugs on two male university students...she's in jail now."
"What?" Li Zhen was surprised.
The news was too shocking.
It wasn't just a divorce?
But this didn't seem like something Zhou Chaowen would do.
Although Dong Wanwan cheated on him, given his personality he should have just gotten a divorce, how could he have done this so ruthlessly.
Could it be...
Li Zhen thought of the sudden coldness in Lu Yanming's expression when she told him yesterday.
It was more like Lu Yanming's style.
Thoroughly eliminating the opponent.
-
With Dong Wanwan's incident, the company quickly terminated her contract. The only artist Li Zhen had to liaise with now was Lu Na.
Li Zhen was at ease these days.
And strangely, Lu Na didn't look for her at all, as if treating her like a prop.
So Li Zhen's daily routine these days was to sit in the studio, drink coffee, chat and gossip with Qiao Yi and Zhang Xiya.
Lu Na was currently on break in the studio, but her gaze kept falling on Li Zhen, who was chatting and laughing with others.
"She looks more and more like her." Lu Na tilted her head, staring fixedly.
Lu Na had been observing Li Zhen for several days.
At first sight she only felt that she was too good-looking, which annoyed her.
But these days, she looked more and more like her little aunt.
Her little aunt's portrait was in the family ancestral hall, and she worshipped it every year.
"Sister Lu Na, your milk tea." Xu Qian came in with takeout.
"Put it there, why are you shouting." Lu Na glanced at her, then put her gaze back on Li Zhen.
Xu Qian had been worried for Li Zhen these past few days.
Lu Na's family background was unfathomable, her temper had always been bad, her personality spoiled.
She entered the entertainment industry just to play around, didn't expect to become a Best Actress.
If she was unhappy she could go back anytime to enjoy the heiress life, so she had never been nice to the liaison staff sent by partners, and didn't even know how to spell "tactful".
But these past few days Lu Na had been unusually quiet, not causing trouble for Li Zhen.
Xu Qian found it very strange.
