CHAPTER 438: CHAPTER 436: ARE YOU GUYS TOGETHER NOW?

Xiao Chu helplessly glanced at her and looked around, continuing to cover Wen Qiao’s mouth as they walked forward.

It wasn’t until they were inside the elevator that Xiao Chu finally let go of her hand and wiped it on Wen Qiao’s clothes.

"Sister Yao said things are progressing pretty smoothly."

Wen Qiao smiled with delight, "Once I secure this endorsement, I’m definitely going to reward myself properly."

She pondered for a moment, "Then I’ll buy a bag, I actually had my eyes on one a few days ago."

Xiao Chu asked her, "What bag have you seen that you can’t just buy outright? Even if you can’t afford it now, there’s still President Fu and his mountain of gold."

"No no no, it’s not the same, my dear." Wen Qiao wagged her index finger in front of her, "Fu Jinghen buying it for me is one thing, but me buying it for myself is a reward. After all, this is the first luxury endorsement I’ve gotten on my own merit, without any shortcuts."

"Oh," Xiao Chu summarized, "So in the end, it’s all about the bag, as long as you get it."

"....."

If you put it that way,

There’s nothing wrong with that.

-

When they reached the ground floor, the elevator doors opened.

Qi Ming was about to enter with breakfast in hand when he saw Wen Qiao and paused, "You’re starting work this early?"

"Not really." Wen Qiao yawned, "I’m going early to get my makeup done and start shooting, hoping to get ahead of schedule."

"Oh, you’re quite ambitious."

"I’ve always been very ambitious, thank you very much." Wen Qiao gave him a look and, noticing the breakfast in his hand, casually asked, "For Wen Shu?"

"....Yeah."

Wen Qiao narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Qi Ming, and after catching a hint of a bashful expression on his face, she raised both thumbs, pointing at the two of them together, "You two are together now?"

Qi Ming was startled, "How did you know!?"

"I’m not blind."

"Don’t spread it around, okay!" Qi Ming put his index finger to his lips, "We’re not planning to go public yet."

"Do I look like a blabbermouth?" Wen Qiao waved her hand dismissively, "Rest assured, I have no interest in meddling in your affairs."

".....Oh."

Wen Qiao gave him a sidelong glance, "But you, coming to the set every other day, who in the production doesn’t know there’s something between you two?"

"Aside from the people outside our production, no one else knows, right...."

"Fine, it’s your business. Handle it however you want; I’m off to the set. You better hurry up and be attentive to your Shushu."

Wen Qiao patted Qi Ming on the shoulder and strode away.

The elevator doors slowly closed, and only then did Qi Ming realize something was off.

Who was being attentive?

He was just bringing his darling girlfriend a heartwarming breakfast.

-

As the knocking sounded, Wen Shu had just finished washing up.

She opened the door and, upon seeing Qi Ming, her smile brightened, "Why are you here so early?"

Qi Ming lifted his hands to signify, "I’ve come to bring you breakfast."

"Come in."

Wen Shu stepped aside to make room for him.

Once inside the room, Qi Ming began laying out the breakfast items on the table.

Wen Shu walked over, "This is quite a feast for just a breakfast."

"A good day starts with a good breakfast; you’ve got to eat well."

Qi Ming settled Wen Shu in a chair and sat down next to her.

Wen Shu first offered a custard bun to Qi Ming, "You eat."

Qi Ming smiled, took a bite, then handed the custard bun back to Wen Shu, offering the freshly split disposable chopsticks, "You eat too."

After biting into a soup dumpling, Wen Shu broached the subject cautiously, "Ah Ming, there’s something I want to discuss with you."
