The fish meat was de-boned.
The shrimp were shelled.
Whenever Jiang Tian glanced at something, Gu Jinyan would pick it up for her.
As for the award-winning actor’s excessive attentiveness, Jiang Tian herself felt indifferent.
After all, over the past few days at home, Gu Jinyan had been doing just this. Jiang Tian had somewhat gotten used to it.
She just sometimes felt it was a bit bothersome.
However, the people at the table had already started covering their mouths to laugh. The actress playing the female lead, Liu Xinya, couldn’t help but exclaim, “Brother Gu is so doting! Tian Tian, you’re so lucky~”
Jiang Tian: …
Being teased, she couldn’t help but blush slightly.
She maintained a smile at the corners of her mouth.
But under the table, her hand secretly reached over and pinched Gu Jinyan’s thigh. When Gu Jinyan looked over, Jiang Tian made a glaring motion, warning him to stop.
Yet, this man seemed to play deaf and dumb, completely oblivious. Unwilling to let it go, Jiang Tian pinched him again, but her hand was grabbed and pulled back on top of the table.
“Darling, if you have any thoughts, let’s discuss them after we get back. There are outsiders present now.”
Jiang Tian: ????
Everyone at the dining table: “Wow~ Their relationship is so good!”
The actor playing the male lead, Qi Jia, couldn’t help but cover his eyes, saying dramatically and humorously, “No~ This divine, sweet love is too dazzling! My 24K pure gold dog eyes are about to go blind!”
Liu Xinya laughed and nudged Qi Jia, chiming in, “I don’t think I can eat anymore tonight. I’m already full on dog food.”
Lu Xin also joined in, laughing, “Please, award-winning actor, show some mercy! Tonight is my birthday dinner. Don’t make us eat your dog food before we even get to the dishes~”
Everyone burst into laughter.
Unexpectedly, Gu Jinyan then looked at Lu Xin, the corners of his thin lips lifting. “Then I wish you find your other half soon. Spread some dog food for revenge; Tian Tian and I will be waiting.”
Seeing the award-winning actor raise his glass in a toast, Lu Xin instinctively glanced at Cheng Fang, thinking his little secret was already known by the award-winning actor. He only dared a brief look before his face flushed crimson. He raised the drink in front of him in thanks.
Following the award-winning actor’s lead, everyone else also offered birthday wishes and gifts.
Sitting beside him, Jiang Tian felt so awkward she was about to explode.
Gu Jinyan’s words just now seemed like a blessing for Lu Xin, but why did she hear a strong undercurrent of threat?
And “Tian Tian”…
What the hell “Tian Tian”! Why did those two words sound so weird coming from his mouth?!
After the meal, Lu Xin invited everyone for the after-party, but Gu Jinyan excused himself on account of having things to do tomorrow.
He took Jiang Tian with him as well.
Jiang Tian was somewhat displeased. She hadn’t even seen Lu Xin confess to Cheng Fang yet.
But Gu Jinyan silently stared at her belly.
Jiang Tian: …
Alright, there’s one in the belly. It really isn’t suitable for a KTV environment.
Following Gu Jinyan into the car to go home, Jiang Tian stomped her foot in frustration.
If it weren’t for this child, she wouldn’t be so completely controlled by Gu Jinyan right now. If only this child were in Gu Jinyan’s belly!
Then she could eat, hang out, and play as usual.
Returning home, after freshening up, Gu Jinyan had Jiang Tian go to sleep.
Jiang Tian felt Gu Jinyan’s control over her had reached a perverted level. It was only nine in the evening, and she had to sleep? Would she be able to?
Taking out her phone, planning to play for a while, she happened to receive a message from Cheng Fang—“Tian Tian, are you there? I need to ask your opinion on something! Urgent!”
Seeing the message, Jiang Tian immediately perked up. She sat up and hurriedly asked what was wrong.
Immediately after, the phone rang.
As expected, Cheng Fang said their group was playing games at KTV, and Lu Xin had seized the opportunity to confess. Initially, Cheng Fang thought it was just part of the game. But when she went to get fruit, Lu Xin specifically followed her and sincerely expressed his feelings privately.
In her panic, Cheng Fang had excused herself to go to the restroom, then immediately came to ask Jiang Tian’s opinion.
Jiang Tian was happy for them.
But she still needed to ask Cheng Fang what she thought.
As the two chatted, Jiang Tian didn’t notice at all that someone was standing at her bedroom door.
Gu Jinyan had brought a glass of milk, intending to give it to Jiang Tian and make sure she drank it. But just as he reached the door, he heard voices inside—
“I think Lu Xin is really nice. He’s kind, considerate, upbeat, and doesn’t fool around. He’s different from other male actors in the entertainment industry. Most importantly, he’s so pure-hearted. When I’m rehearsing lines with him, I often notice he blushes and gets embarrassed. And also…”
Gu Jinyan couldn’t bear to listen to the long string of praises that followed.
His face darkened as he turned and left.
Angrily, he downed the milk in one go, took the glass downstairs to the kitchen, then closed the door to sleep.
Bang!
Jiang Tian was startled by the loud door slam, wondering internally what was wrong with Gu Jinyan now. But her focus returned to Cheng Fang’s matter.
“Sister Fangfang, if you like Lu Xin too, I really suggest you give it a try. As for fame and things like that, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Don’t let yourself get defeated before even starting. Anyway, think it over carefully. I’m going to sleep now.”
Cheng Fang: “Huh? You’re sleeping this early? Alright then, I’ll hang up.”
Jiang Tian sighed and muttered quietly, “It’s because I’m afraid of getting lectured by the big pervert.”
She put away her phone, applied a pregnancy-safe sleep mask, and went to bed looking beautiful.
Little did Jiang Tian know, the person in the next room wasn’t sleeping as peacefully as she was.
Gu Jinyan tossed and turned in bed.
His mind was full of what Jiang Tian had said—pure-hearted?
He felt a bit disdainful.
What does a man need with being pure-hearted?
He took out his phone and searched for the term “pure-hearted.”
Just as the page was about to load, he instantly closed it.
His face was cold.
What does it matter to me what she likes?
He lay in bed and closed his eyes.
But two minutes later, he opened his eyes again, took out his phone, logged into PUBG, called Yue Ying to join him online, and carried him to chicken dinners.
Yue Ying had just finished recording and was about to rest when his cousin called him to play PUBG, leaving him utterly confused.
Especially seeing his cousin shooting down enemies with furious bang bang bangs without saying a word, Yue Ying was too scared to utter a single unnecessary word.
Usually, when his cousin wasn’t angry, his aura was powerful and kept others at a distance, but Yue Ying could still thick-skinnedly stick close.
But when he got angry, his aura turned into a literal battlefield of carnage. For miles around, nothing living could survive. Even someone as lively as him didn’t dare get close.
However, seeing that the IDs of the players he was killing were things like [Pure-hearted Big F], [Ben Ben Most Pure-hearted], [Pure-hearted Little Bunny], [Pure Love], [First Love~]…
Even the currently terrified Yue Ying couldn’t help but ask, “Bro, are you having a grudge against the words ‘pure-hearted’ tonight? Everyone you kill either has ‘pure’ or ‘love’ in their name, and those with ‘pure-hearted’ get completely wiped out?”
As soon as he finished speaking.
