Deliberate seduction, Mrs. Pei also wants a divorce tonight
Chapter 8 Ah Qi, will you always be here?
Lin Zixuan kicked and quarreled with her for half an hour, and was finally stopped by Lu Qi's question: "What are you having for dinner?"
The anger has subsided.
In the evening, Tingfengge Restaurant.
The most luxurious yet low-key hotel within the Second Ring Road of Beijing.
In the private room, Lin Zixuan ate the king crab with gusto, a bright smile on her slightly fleshy face.
She is not a flashy type. The roles she has taken since her debut have always been cute and lively, which makes her unique in the entertainment industry.
Lu Qi smiled and turned around to add another plate: "Who is starving you?"
It was just a casual remark, but Lin Zixuan's hand paused slightly, and she was in a trance for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm happy! My protector is back, and you still don't allow me to eat more?"
"Why, Xu Jingchuan doesn't protect you?" Lu Qi asked suddenly.
The prince of the city of Beijing wouldn't even treat his fiancée to a meal of king crab? Is the Xu family short of money?
Lin Zixuan's fingers suddenly clenched, and even though she tried her best to remain calm, Lu Qi could see that her hands were shaking.
She never knew how to pretend.
After a while, Lin Zixuan managed to utter a few words: "You know?"
Lu Qi didn't pretend and said frankly: "I met Xu Jingchuan last night."
Lin Zixuan's eyes suddenly widened, and the awkwardness on her face became more and more obvious as she looked at her. She was obviously an actor, but she couldn't act in the face of real life.
After a long while, she tremblingly asked, "What did he say to you?"
"Not cooked, didn't say anything." Lu Qi casually put the empty crab claws on the plate.
I originally wanted to mention Qinghe Club again, but then I thought, Lin Zixuan probably doesn’t know what those people are doing. Her daughter Dahua has always only known how to work hard and act.
Lin Zixuan seemed to be relieved and nodded in response: "Yes, I'm getting married to him."
OK, what a simple answer.
"I didn't even know you were in love, and you told me you were getting married?"
"I didn't even know you and Pei Yao were in love. You're already married!"
After saying that, as if in a fit of anger, Lin Zixuan grabbed the decanter, poured herself a whole glass of red wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
Lu Qi glared and was speechless: "My situation is different... Are you telling me that you are also in a marriage of convenience?"
With a "clang", Lin Zixuan put down the empty wine glass, her face already red.
"No." Under the influence of alcohol, she replied, "He helped me. When I... debuted, I took a set of photos and someone kept them..."
Listening to Lin Zixuan's hesitation, Lu Qi suddenly realized that the 20 million was used to buy the photo album! And Xu Jingchuan seemed to have helped her settle this matter, on the condition that she marry him?
I wanted to ask why I didn't tell her, but she hid in the mountains on her own, so how could anyone tell her?
At this time, the cell phone on Lin Zixuan's desk rang.
She looked at the phone display and immediately picked up the call.
I couldn't hear what was said on the other end of the phone.
From this end, Lin Zixuan replied cautiously.
"I'm eating out and will be back soon."
"With Lu Qi... Mr. Lu from Tianyu."
Without saying much, the person on the other end hung up the phone.
Lu Qi squinted his eyes and asked, "Are you going back?"
"No need. It has nothing to do with you..." Lin Zixuan put away the phone and gave a forced smile.
I think they knew it was her and didn't want to fall out.
Lin Zixuan drank another half glass of red wine, and as if mustering up courage, she said to Lu Qi, "By the way, Ah Qi. When my contract with Nanying expires, I will announce my retirement."
Lu Qi was stunned. Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, he considered for a moment: "Did he force you to quit the circle?"
"You didn't force me, but you know the Xu family."
In fact, the Xu family does not allow a second-rate actor to enter the house, the problem is...
Lu Qi took a deep breath and lit a cigarette.
As the cigarette smoke lingered in the private room, Lu Qi slowly asked, "So you're not dreaming about Golden Palm Tree anymore?"
For a moment, there was silence for a long time.
Lu Qi looked at her quietly. She remembered that the first time she met Lin Zixuan was in Cannes.
After missing out on the Palme d'Or, she burst into tears and said that since the first time she watched the Cannes Film Festival, she had imagined that the leading actress receiving the award would be herself, and she vowed to fight for the Palme d'Or again.
Running together for three years again and again is the result of that stubborn spirit of not admitting defeat.
But today, she shook her head and said, "I'm not going to do it anymore. There's only six months left before the contract expires. Why would I want to film a movie? For now, I'll just take on some commercials and finish the contract."
Anyway, it seems that no one comes to her to film big dramas now.
He drank another glass of wine.
In the end, Lin Zixuan asked for a hangover pill and drank it with the wine.
When we walked out of the hotel, it started to drizzle.
The rain in Beijing is a bit cold after autumn.
Lu Qi asked the waiter to get the car and asked her, "Where do you live? I'll take you there." It seemed that she probably didn't live in the same place as before.
Lin Zixuan held the phone and trembled for a moment: "No need, I asked him to pick me up."
When I walked to the door and looked up, I saw a low-key Hongqi car parked on the side of the road far away.
There was no one waiting at the car door. Seeing this, Lin Zixuan suddenly turned around and hugged Lu Qi back.
The alcohol hadn't worn off yet, and he spoke softly and weakly: "Aqi, will you always be here?"
Lu Qi lowered his head and didn't reply.
Then she said, "If I get wronged in the future, you must protect me! I have no family in Beijing, only you."
After saying that, Lin Zixuan took her bag and held it on her head, ran over hurriedly in the rain, opened the door and got into the car.
At this moment, the waiter drove Lu Qi's car over, held an umbrella for Lu Qi, handed over the car keys, and politely asked: "You don't have a driver with you, do you need a designated driver?"
"I didn't drink." After the meal, two bottles of red wine were all drunk by Lin Zixuan.
Lu Qi glanced at the car driving away, took the car keys, and walked into the rain.
He started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove out.
After crossing the Second Ring Road elevated highway, we headed straight for the Sixth Ring Road.
The R8's top speed can reach 316. The road is slippery on rainy days, and the red headlights can only be seen flashing in the rain.
-
Half an hour later, at a private baseball field outside the Sixth Ring Road.
The huge stadium only has management and cleaning staff, and it does not host any events on weekdays. It seems like an abandoned building on the edge of the city.
The staff brought two baskets of balls and without saying much, turned around and went back to the management office.
The ball lamp illuminated the falling raindrops, which were not big, like cow hair. If it were not for the slight coolness they felt on my body, I would not have felt their presence.
Lu Qi stood alone on the court, threw the ball, swung the bat, and hit it out, not knowing where it hit.
I didn't even notice when two people were standing under the edge ball light.
Pei Yao didn't hold an umbrella, and the stadium manager didn't dare to hold an umbrella either. He waited on the side: "Boss Pei, this guy looks unhappy today."
"I'm in a good mood, so why would I come to your place?" Pei Yao put his hands in his pockets. He changed into a pure black suit, which was more formal. It seemed that he had just come back from a social event.
I didn't drive, the driver brought it here.
There were no lights on on the top floor of Tianyu, so he thought she must be there.
She clearly doesn't like teamwork and prefers to be alone, but she insisted on buying a baseball field, and I haven't seen how good her skills are.
Pei Yao took off his coat and handed it to the stadium manager: "Bring me a pair of gloves."
