Boom!

A huge clap of thunder exploded by Chi Yueshan's ear, shaking her mind blank. She stood there in a daze!

Lu Xing knew!

These three big words, bolded and enlarged, warned her in her mind.

It's over.

Chi Yueshan's heart pounded to an unprecedented degree, her whole body trembling!

What to do?

What to do!

If Lu Xing only knew that she didn't read those things, then it could only be said that she was insincere, and a sincere apology would suffice.

But!

If Lu Xing not only knew that she was insincere, but also knew that she was the screenwriter of this whole drama...

It's over.

Chi Yueshan's whole body went numb.

Her body trembled slightly. She suppressed her emotions, cautiously looked at Lu Xing's expression, and called out softly in a hoarse voice.

"Xing-xing..."

Lu Xing held a Coke in his left hand and his phone tightly in his right.

The phone was recording to prevent himself from being blackmailed.

Lu Xing said warily.

"What?"

Looking at Lu Xing's wary face, bitterness, like a silk thread, tightly wound around Chi Yueshan's heart.

The feeling of a suffocating heart almost made Chi Yueshan unable to breathe!

She wanted to explain.

But she couldn't explain.

How could one explain the facts?

But–

At this moment, only one big word appeared in Chi Yueshan's mind—Speak!

Yes!

Speak!

Must speak!

A huge sense of crisis was about to engulf Chi Yueshan. She had a very strong intuition.

After this time,

She might never have contact with Lu Xing again!

Speak.

You must speak!

Just say something!

The little person in Chi Yueshan's heart was screaming loudly, but she herself was extremely silent.

All the plans from just now had vanished.

In front of Lu Xing, she was utterly defeated.

Chi Yueshan slowly raised her head, unable to say a single word.

Large teardrops fell from her eyes, rolling onto her skirt, soaking a large patch.

So good at crying.

Lu Xing sighed, feeling a little emotional.

How much suffering must an opera star endure? Every move is perfectly standardized through thousands of trials.

Now, with Chi Yueshan's red-rimmed eyes and muffled sobs, she looks so beautiful and fragile.

Lu Xing placed the Coke on the table beside him and stood up decisively.

"Don't go."

Chi Yueshan panicked. Seeing Lu Xing stand up made her even more panicked. She anxiously grabbed Lu Xing's hand.

She didn't dare to grab Lu Xing's whole hand, only tightly gripping a few of his fingers.

A white and soft hand, contrasting with Lu Xing's skin tone.

Lu Xing averted his gaze and said calmly.

"Let go."

Looking at Lu Xing's condescending gaze, Chi Yueshan flinched.

She slowly lowered her head, but her hand tightened unrepentantly, with no intention of letting Lu Xing leave.

Lu Xing was silent for a moment and said.

"I'm not leaving."

How could Chi Yueshan believe it? She knew Lu Xing's mind was quick. The moment she let go, this person would definitely run!

"I don't believe you."

Lu Xing smiled.

"I'm really not leaving. I'm going to get a cup."

Chi Yueshan immediately shook her head. She didn't believe for a second that Lu Xing was going to get a cup.

Besides,

"What are you getting a cup for?"

Lu Xing bent down, met Chi Yueshan's gaze, and said with eyes as calm as water.

"It's a pity to see your tears falling on your clothes. I'm getting a cup to catch them for you."

He took out a pack of tissues from his pocket, pulled one out, and stuffed it into Chi Yueshan's hand.

"Don't cry."

As a professional simp, it was necessary to always have tissues, wet wipes, and band-aids in one's pocket.

To provide timely help when the client needs it most.

The pleasant scent of the tissue filled the air.

Chi Yueshan was stunned.

When she understood what Lu Xing was saying, the beauty showed the most beautiful smile after a shower of pear blossoms.

Lu Xing let out a sigh of relief.

Oh, heavens.

She's finally stopped crying!

This damn skirt is all wet from her crying.

If someone saw this, how would I explain it?

We had a transaction. There's really no need to make things so ugly.

Lu Xing was still quite grateful to these clients. Although they were all more or less a little sick in the head...

They were quite generous.

At least there were no cases of delayed wages, nor any intention of getting a freebie. Uh, except for Wen Lingxiu.

A few minutes later.

Chi Yueshan finally composed herself. At this moment, she realized.

"I'm sorry."

She had been gripping Lu Xing's fingers so tightly just now that his hand had turned red.

Lu Xing smiled and pulled his hand back.

"It's nothing."

"You've calmed down now, right?"

Lu Xing pulled up a chair and sat opposite Chi Yueshan.

As long as a person is calm, then they can have a good chat.

What he hated most was the kind of person who didn't listen to reason and only wanted to win by volume.

Chi Yueshan's eyes and the tip of her nose were red. She sat there, clutching the tissue, embarrassed.

Clearly.

She also felt that her crying just now was a bit embarrassing.

Lu Xing said with a smile, absent-mindedly, "Don't be embarrassed. Think of it as a detox."

This matter with Chi Yueshan must be resolved today.

If this black-bellied person wasn't dealt with properly, who knows what she would do.

And.

Wen Lingxiu and Nannan were still waiting for him in the private box. No matter how you draw for a prize, it can't take half an hour, right?!

Time is tight, quick battle, quick decision!

After crying, Chi Yueshan's voice was hoarse as she said.

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay. Besides, you haven't wronged me." Lu Xing stared at the clock on the wall. "You are my boss. You gave me money. I should thank you."

Chi Yueshan was taken aback for a moment. After a moment of silence, she asked.

"That woman, is she also your client?"

She figured it out.

Why had Lu Xing agreed so readily back then? Maybe he was in this line of work!

Chi Yueshan's eyes sparkled. She suddenly felt like she had found a solution.

Lu Xing nodded. "That's right."

"I want to make money, so if a client comes to me, I'll go."

"You hired me. No matter what your purpose was, it doesn't matter, as long as you're happy."

"That's also the meaning of you spending money."

Chi Yueshan looked up with anticipation, her face clear and beautiful after the shower of pear blossoms.

"Then can I hire you again?"

Lu Xing looked at her with a smile.

Infinite hope rose in Chi Yueshan's heart.

"No."

Bang.

The balloon of hope in Chi Yueshan's heart suddenly burst, and all her hopes shattered into pieces.

"Why? Why not?"

She anxiously grabbed Lu Xing's hand, but Lu Xing directly dodged it.

"I have money. That woman can hire you, and so can I."

"Although I haven't met her yet, she has a child, and she's older. I'm definitely better than her."

A glint flashed in Lu Xing's eyes.

Oh.

So Chi Yueshan hasn't met Wen Lingxiu.

After noting down this key piece of information, Lu Xing shook his head and said seriously.

"A client I've dealt with once, I won't deal with a second time."

Deal once, part on good terms.

But to deal a second time, there's only one possibility—

The client can't let go.

This was a very dangerous situation. Lu Xing would absolutely not accept it!

Lu Xing stared at Chi Yueshan. At most eight minutes, he had to return to the private box.

And so.

Lu Xing showed a gentle and kind smile, looked at the crestfallen Chi Yueshan, and said with a smile.

"Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart,"

No injections, no medicine, just sit here and chat with you. Using conversation, this is called talk therapy.
