"Fine, then you can start memorizing. I won't bother you."
After hearing what Bailing said, Ju Zisheng got a bit angry. He walked out of the room and headed straight into his own lounge without looking back, also preparing for the upcoming press - conference.
But how could he be in the mood to prepare seriously? Bailing's attitude just now really annoyed him. Although he still favored Bailing in his heart, he had never seen her abandon a friend for the sake of work.
Even though he was in a bad mood, Ju Zisheng still prepared his speech for the press - conference very seriously. After all, he was a movie king. Memorizing a little bit of the script was nothing to him.
The main points to be covered in this press - conference were as follows. Firstly, they had returned to China after their studies. Secondly, there were arrangements for the concert. Thirdly, they asked all media friends not to interfere in their personal lives anymore.
They hoped that everyone could be closer to the stage and farther from their private lives. Otherwise, the relationship between them would be very strange.
Stars needed to stay away from the public to maintain their sense of mystery.
The press - conference lasted about three hours. It was already past 4 p.m.
During the press - conference, reporters constantly asked them questions about confirming their relationship as a couple. They both tried their best to avoid answering.
After the press - conference, Ju Zisheng invited Bailing again: "Hey, are you really not going to see them? They miss you so much. Just now when I was on the phone, Mu Junze almost cried when he heard about it."
Obviously, he was lying to Bailing. Mu Junze was such a cold - faced person. How could he cry?
It would be more believable if Meng Nianchu cried, but Bailing still looked hesitant, as if she had some sad memories.
She shook her head and said to Ju Zisheng, "No, I still need to communicate with the company staff and prepare for the concert. I won't go with you. Have fun by yourselves."
"Fine, if you won't go, I'll go alone!" Ju Zisheng was a bit angry. He turned around and was about to leave when Bailing suddenly called out to him, "Sheng, please give my regards to them."
Ju Zisheng didn't look back and said to Bailing, "Wait until you go to see them yourself. You should give your own regards. What's the point of me doing it? You're not even married to me yet."
As he said this, Ju Zisheng tilted his head slightly and glanced at Bailing from the corner of his eye. He saw that she had her head down, looking extremely sad.
Ju Zisheng felt that Bailing seemed a bit off today, but he didn't know exactly what was wrong.
It was almost time for the appointment with Mu Junze and the others, so Ju Zisheng went to the dinner alone.
When he walked out of the press - conference venue, the Maserati sports car that he had asked his assistant to drive over was already waiting at the door.
He got in the car and drove towards the place where he had made the appointment with Mu Junze and the others.
On the way, he felt the cold wind. Although it had been a warm and comfortable sunny day in the morning, now he couldn't feel any warmth or comfort at all.
"I'm going to see Ju Zisheng and Bailing soon. I'm so excited!" Meng Nianchu kept chattering beside Mu Junze, which annoyed him a bit.
He showed an unhappy expression and said, "Okay, stop making noise. They'll be here soon. There's no need to be so excited. You'll meet the people you're supposed to meet eventually."
Bailing didn't like Mu Junze's calm attitude at all times. She made a face at him and turned her head away, pouting her lips.
Mu Junze felt quite helpless. This person had been pregnant for so long and was about to be a mother, yet still acted like a child. How was she going to raise the child in the future?
"Here he comes!" Mu Junze recognized Ju Zisheng's Maserati.
"Hello!" The two parties greeted each other.
Ju Zisheng waved to them. After arranging for the waiter to park the car, he walked towards them.
When Mu Junze and Meng Nianchu saw Ju Zisheng coming, they both felt strange and said in unison, "Where's Bailing?"
Ju Zisheng was startled by their unison. "Wow, you two are so in sync after such a long time apart. No wonder you're pregnant~"
As Ju Zisheng said this, his expression became a bit strange, which made Meng Nianchu blush. She said shyly, "Hey, what are you talking about? You, a big star, are so unseemly."
"Hahaha, okay, then I'll be serious. How have you been recently, Mr. Mu? I heard you just got out of the hospital. What happened? What kind of dog bit you so badly that you had to be hospitalized?"
"It's a long story. You still haven't told me why Bailing didn't come." Mu Junze was a bit angry. He didn't like it when people broke their appointments with him, especially his best friends.
"Bailing has other things to do at the company and can't come for the time being." When Ju Zisheng said this, his expression looked a bit dejected.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Meng Nianchu asked with concern.
"Alas, it's a long story." Ju Zisheng replied.
Mu Junze looked at the two of them and said, "Let's go inside. Don't just stand outside looking like fools."
"Haha, let's go inside. With so many long stories, it seems we'll have a lot to talk about today."
"Yeah, okay!" The two of them replied.
This was a high - end Western restaurant. They thought that since Ju Zisheng had just returned from abroad, he might still miss Austrian Western food. So they decided to let him have it again. And since it was a Western restaurant in China, it could serve as a transition before having Chinese food.
"Not bad, Mr. Mu. You even chose such a nice place!"
"Of course. You don't even know who I'm entertaining." At this moment, the proud look on Mu Junze's face was obvious.
"Haha, I didn't expect Mr. Mu to value me so much. It's really my honor."
"I didn't make friends with you because of your glib tongue."
"Well, you made friends with me because of my handsome looks."
Everyone was amused by this little joke. Suddenly, Ju Zisheng stopped smiling and said, "I'm now formally inviting the two of you to our concert next month."
"What? How good could it be that you need us to go in person?"
"The good music is just one aspect. On the other hand, I'm going to make a major decision at the concert."
"What decision?"
"Yeah, what decision?" Meng Nianchu chimed in.
"I'm going to propose to Bailing at the concert."
"Wow, a proposal?!"
Both of them were shocked. Meng Nianchu was the first to cast an envious look. Being proposed to at a concert, Bailing was really... so lucky.
Thinking of this, she looked at Mu Junze and sighed helplessly.
Mu Junze also felt Meng Nianchu's gaze and frowned.
"That's so cool! Proposing at a concert!" Meng Nianchu exclaimed.
"Shh! Keep it a secret! Only the three of us can know about this. Absolutely don't tell Bailing!!"
"Don't worry. I can keep my mouth shut." Meng Nianchu promised.
