Urban Film and Television: Jiang Lai is the Top Choice

After Yang Chu put Jiang Lai on the bed, Jiang Lai looked at Yang Chu and said, "The bed is so big, you can sleep on the other side!"

Yang Chu looked at Jiang Lai, whose eyes were darting away, sat on the bed, smoothed Jiang Lai's hair behind her ear, and said, "Go to sleep, don't overthink things!"

After saying that, Yang Chu laid Jiang Lai flat on the bed, covered her with a blanket, kissed her forehead, and then went back to lie down on the sofa.

As Jiang Lai lay in bed, recalling Yang Chu's words and the kiss on her forehead, tears welled up in her eyes.

Next day:

When Yang Chu woke up and opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Lai sitting at the dining table, staring at him.

Fortunately, they were far enough apart; if they had been lying right next to Yang Chu and watching him, they might have thrown a punch.

Yang Chu yawned, stretched, and asked, "Why are you staring at me like that so early in the morning?"

Jiang Lai did not answer Yang Chu's question, but instead stared at Yang Chu, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing Jiang Lai's expression, Yang Chu sighed helplessly and said, "What would you like to eat? I'll go order you breakfast."

Jiang Lai still didn't answer, which made Yang Chu frown.

Then Yang Chu asked Jiang Lai, "Have you washed up?"

Yang Chu knew immediately that he had asked a stupid question, because Jiang Lai, who was sitting there, had not only changed her clothes but also put on makeup.

Yang Chu didn't know what Jiang Lai was thinking, so he waved his hand and said, "Since you don't want to talk, I won't ask anymore. I'll go get you breakfast."

Yang Chu made a phone call, ordered breakfast, and then went to wash up. By the time he finished washing up and came out, breakfast had arrived.

Yang Chu pushed the breakfast in front of Jiang Lai, but Jiang Lai kept staring at Yang Chu without moving.

Yang Chu didn't know what to do with Jiang Lai, so he just ate his breakfast.

After finishing breakfast, Jiang Lai looked at Yang Chu and asked, "Have you finished eating?"

Yang Chu took a tissue, wiped his mouth, and said, "I'm done eating. Don't you want some?"

Jiang Lai shook her head and continued looking at Yang Chu.

This gave Yang Chu an even bigger headache. He didn't know whether Jiang Lai's shaking her head meant she didn't want to eat, or if she had already eaten and didn't want to eat anymore.

Before Yang Chu could ask Jiang Lai any more questions, Jiang Lai stared at Yang Chu and said, "Do you like me?"

Hearing Jiang Lai's question, Yang Chu said incredulously, "Why are you suddenly asking this question?"

"answer me!"

Yang Chu didn't know what Jiang Lai wanted, so he simply nodded and said, "I like it!"

"Then why did you reject me last night?"

"Liking you doesn't necessarily mean sleeping with you, and sleeping with you doesn't necessarily mean liking you."

"Don't beat around the bush with me, I want to hear the truth."

Yang Chu pondered for a moment, then looked at Jiang Lai and said, "I like your beauty, I like your figure, and I like your cheerful and lively personality. But your unpredictable moods make me feel intimidated."

"You should know that I am the eldest daughter of the Jiang Group. Aren't you afraid that my brother and his family will cause you trouble?"

Yang Chu nodded and said, "I've thought about it before, and I thought about it last night too. Now that I've given you a positive answer, I think you shouldn't be afraid anymore."

Jiang Lai's chin swayed from side to side as she pondered, as if making a decision.

After a long while, Jiang Lai looked at Yang Chu and said, "You like me, but I may not like you. Let's not see each other again. If we do, let's pretend we don't know each other!"

After saying that, Jiang Lai stood up, grabbed her bag, and left.

Just as Jiang Lai reached the door and was about to open it, Yang Chu suddenly said to her, "You said those words! You'd better remember them."

Jiang Lai said without turning her head, "I said it, and I will always admit it. I don't need you to remind me under any circumstances."

After saying that, Jiang Lai opened the door and left.

After Jiang Lai left, Yang Chu sighed helplessly and said, "I didn't even have a chance to confess, and I got rejected like this. I feel so defeated!"

After saying that, Yang Chu stood up to change his clothes, and then he saw the red wine bottles placed against the wall.

"You guys are really lucky to have avoided Jiang Lai taking a red wine bath."

Another week or so passed, and the apartment in Ode to Joy was finally renovated.

Gan Jing called and asked Yang Chu to come and inspect the goods.

Yang Chu rushed to Ode to Joy and saw Gan Jing making his bed.

Yang Chu said with a smile, "Oh! Whose new wife is this! Why are you making my bed and folding my blankets?"

Gan Jing rolled his eyes at Yang Chu and said, "Stop making sarcastic remarks. You should hurry up and take a look at the house I renovated for you. Are you satisfied?"

Yang Chu smiled and began to look around.

When Yang Chu visited the bedroom and opened the wardrobe, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You've thought of everything! You even bought me clothes."

Gan Jing slammed the wardrobe door shut in annoyance and said, "If you don't like it, then forget it. I'll take it all with me when I leave."

"No, no, no! I was just kidding! Why are you taking it so seriously!"

Gan Jing, in his petulant mood, said, "I'm so kind, yet you treat me like dirt. You even use it to make fun of me. I really don't know if I owe you anything. You're being so presumptuous."

After saying that, Gan Jing pushed Yang Chu away and walked to the living room to sit down.

Yang Chu could tell that Gan Jing seemed genuinely angry, so he smiled and said to Gan Jing, "I'm sorry, I misspoke. Can I apologize to you?"

"No! Please don't apologize to me. Who am I? Just a small-time designer. I don't even know whose wife I am. I make your bed and don't even get a kind word in return."

Well! This is a return to the jokes we made earlier.

Yang Chu smacked his lips and looked at Gan Jing, saying, "Alright, stop being so stubborn. I was just joking with you before, okay? I'll cook for you myself today as an apology, alright?"

Gan Jing looked at Yang Chu suspiciously and said, "You can cook? Chinese or Western food? I just don't believe you can cook."

Yang Chu pursed his lips and looked at Gan Jing, saying, "Don't even mention Chinese or Western food, I can even cook Turkish food. Why don't you order?"

Gan Jing pondered for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, then looked at Yang Chu and said, "Do whatever you want! I don't mind."

Yang Chu nodded and said, "Okay! So, are you going grocery shopping with me, or am I going alone?"

Gan Jing said irritably, "Nonsense, of course you're going alone. There's still one room that hasn't been cleaned up yet! Are you going to clean it if I go?"

Yang Chu awkwardly touched his nose and said, "Okay, I'll go buy groceries now."

After saying that, Yang Chu turned around and muttered to herself, "This seems to be my home! Isn't it my duty to tidy up? Why do I feel like you're the lady of the house?"
