Chapter 56 - I Can’t Bring Myself to Say It
“Alright, I will remember not to show too much love and affection in front of my brother because my brother is still single and alone!”
“You can both chat first. I will go upstairs to change out of my suit,” Lu Jingzhi said as he smiled and released Jiang Yuning from his embrace. He then strode upstairs to the bedroom located on the second floor.
“Brother…Guangying Media called me to inform me that I am eligible to participate in the second audition tomorrow.” As soon as Lu Jingzhi left them, Jiang Yuning quickly reached out her hands and held tightly onto Ku Jie’s arm.
“I have already heard about it on the way to the villa,” Ku Jie replied as he patted her gently on her head.
“However, the earliest version of the news that I received was not this,” Ku Jie said as he sat down on the sofa. “The first piece of news that I had received was that Guangying Media had decided not to cast you, but to simply brush you aside.”
“Really?” Jiang Yuning replied. “Then, was it because of uncle?”
“Huh?” Ku Jie did not understand what Jiang Yuning meant.
“Are you embarrassed to say it?” Jiang Yuning asked.
Lu Jingzhi did not answer but merely reached out his hand and pulled Jiang Yuning into his embrace. He hugged her tightly without saying a single word.
He never wanted to say such heartless words to her ever, even if she were to hurt him one day.
“Forget it then. We can just skip this part. After all, I already know how it feels like to love someone without getting anything in return,” Jiang Yuning sighed as she threw the script aside. “The more I think about it, the more terrible I feel. In fact, I feel as though I am perfect for the role of Qin Tong. After all, I know what it feels like to be rejected, either by my father or my lover.”
Lu Jingzhi continued hugging Jiang Yuning tightly as he breathed heavily onto her body. After a few seconds, Jiang Yuning suddenly grabbed the script and raised her brow as she looked at Lu Jingzhi. “Well, since you do not want to play my lover…then how about you take the role of my father then? Hahaha…”
