Su Qinian's pitch - black eyes glinted with a cold light. He tightly grabbed the presumptuous Lin Tingnian and said coldly, word by word, "Lin Tingnian, right? This is not the place for you to throw a tantrum!"
He forcefully flung her hand down. Lin Tingnian staggered back a few steps and rubbed her wrist, which had turned red from being grabbed.
After a while, her eyes welled up with tears. She said coquettishly, "Su Qinian, I just came here to talk to my sister. Don't be so fierce, okay?"
"A actress? Who was it just now saying they looked down on actresses?" Lin Jinran lifted her eyelids and looked at her casually. "You have your noble world, and we have our ordinary one. Can't we just stay out of each other's way?"
She sneered, "You just have to make yourself unhappy."
Su Qinian stepped in front of Lin Jinran to protect her. His black eyes were cold. "My girlfriend and I still have something to do. Miss Lin, go back to your noble world."
Then he turned around and took Lin Jinran's hand, their fingers interlacing.
The coldness quickly receded like a tide, replaced by tenderness and doting. Su Qinian said softly, "Let's go. My car is parked over there."
Lin Jinran nodded obediently and followed him away.
Lin Tingnian, deliberately ignored by the two, stared angrily at their retreating backs. Jealousy grew wildly like weeds.
So many years had passed. Why, why did the successful Su Qinian still like the penniless Lin Jinran?
...
Lin Jinran got into the passenger seat. Su Qinian then got into the driver's seat. He bent down and carefully fastened her seat - belt. They were so close.
His warm breath landed on the girl's fair and delicate cheek. Su Qinian forced himself to control his gaze. He propped one hand on a support point and used the other to reach around her waist to fasten the seat - belt.
"Click." The seat - belt was fastened.
He was about to return to his own seat when a slightly cool and moist kiss landed on his left cheek.
Su Qinian looked over. Lin Jinran was sitting there obediently. She said reasonably, "I'm your girlfriend now. I'm just exercising my girlfriend's rights."
"Really? Then should I also exercise my boyfriend's rights? There has to be give - and - take for a future."
The man's black eyes were filled with a burning passion. He shifted his gaze slightly downward and landed on her red and delicate lips.
The next second, Su Qinian reached around the back of her head with his big hand. His gentle and slightly cool kiss first landed on the corner of Lin Jinran's mouth.
"I'm going to start." His deep and sexy voice whispered in her ear. The unique cedar fragrance of the man filled her nostrils.
Lin Jinran slowly closed her eyes, like a red rose waiting to be picked.
His slightly cool lips covered hers, tracing them gently. Gradually, he seemed dissatisfied with just staying on the surface and increased the intensity to explore more deeply.
His tongue easily slipped into her mouth. Her mouth was filled with his clear and refreshing taste, making her feel numb. It seemed like ages before they finally separated.
Lin Jinran gasped lightly. Her soft red lips were even more alluring. Blushes appeared on her cheeks. She averted her eyes and pouted, "I'm hungry."
"I'm hungry too." The man's gaze was still dark and burning. His words were full of implications.
Lin Jinran's face turned even redder, like a ripe apple. She shyly punched Su Qinian's chest. Her strength was not strong. She complained coquettishly, "I didn't even have breakfast. I'm really hungry."
After having enough fun teasing this little kitten, Su Qinian's lips curled into a happy smile. He withdrew and sat in the driver's seat. "Then sit tight. I'll take you to have something to eat."
The car sped away, raising dust.
Lin Tingnian, who had been secretly following them, witnessed the whole process. She angrily punched an innocent tree beside her and cursed while punching, "Vixen, vixen, vixen..."
In the car, Su Qinian stared intently at the road ahead. He casually said, "Aurora will announce its new brand ambassador tomorrow. Later, the Aurora staff will contact you about the announcement. All you need to do is cooperate well and go along with it."
"I guess you'll receive a lot of script offers in the next few days. Ji Xian has no reason not to let you act. The scripts she might pick for you may be mediocre and not suitable for you. It doesn't matter. Just agree to sign the contracts first. I'll take care of everything later."
"Why did Lin Tingnian come all the way here to find you?"
Quickly shifting from work to personal matters, Lin Jinran blinked her eyes and waved her hand helplessly. "I don't know either. Maybe she didn't dare to look for me before because I was always doing live - broadcasts and variety shows. As soon as they ended, here she comes."
Su Qinian nodded thoughtfully. "It might be a test from your father. He has always been suppressing you, trying to make you a complete nobody in the entertainment industry."
"Yeah." Lin Jinran leaned back on the seat. She turned her head to look at the fleeting scenery outside the window and sighed.
The restaurant Su Qinian chose was a place he often came to before. They got a private room. After ordering the food and the waiter left, only the two of them were left in the room.
"Have you bought the train tickets to Wannanshi?" Su Qinian asked.
"Oops, I forgot." Lin Jinran slapped her forehead hard. She immediately picked up her phone to search for train tickets. When she opened the app, all the tickets were sold out.
"What should I do? I went to bed too late last night and forgot. What should I do? All the tickets are sold out."
Su Qinian smiled faintly. "How about going back with me? Our family driver will drive. We'll leave tomorrow morning. You can also go and meet my parents. You know, my mom really liked you back then."
"No way. We've only been together for a few days. It's too soon." When it came to his parents, fear showed on Lin Jinran's face. "Back then, we were just classmates. It's different now."
Meeting the parents so soon, Lin Jinran wasn't mentally prepared.
"Okay then. I'll wait until you're ready to go back and meet my parents. Anyway, I've waited for ten years. I don't mind waiting a little longer." Su Qinian shook his head and sighed.
The boy in front of her had bright and moist black eyes, full of anticipation.
Lin Jinran bit her lip and looked down at the table awkwardly. "Fine, I'll go back with you to meet your parents. But we agreed it's as classmates, not lovers. I'm afraid your parents won't be able to accept it so quickly."
Getting into a relationship in just seven days was really too fast.
Su Qinian raised his eyebrows and looked at her amusedly. "Ranran, my mom has watched all the variety shows, TV dramas, and movies I've participated in. Do you think she doesn't know about our relationship?"
Lin Jinran: "..."
"Moreover, my family won't think it's too fast. It's just you who think so, Ranran." Su Qinian said slowly in a gentle voice. "If you really think it's too fast, I won't take you to meet my parents. Whenever you want to go, I'll take you."
The door of the private room opened, and the waiter started to serve the food. Lin Jinran propped her hands on the table and supported her chin.
After a long time, she said, "Well... I'll reluctantly agree to you. I'll go and meet your parents after attending Wanyu's wedding."
