The two of them discussed this issue yesterday.
Xie Wang simply followed Ling Shuangjiang into the room, his tone forceful: "I'm not afraid of being disturbed. Once you're here, you're not leaving."
"Pfft." Ling Shuangjiang sat on the bed, leisurely sizing him up: "Brother, is this a shady business?"
Xie Wangyi said righteously, "It's a black-hearted inn that eats people up without spitting out the bones."
Ling Shuangjiang lifted her eyes: "How do you eat it? Can you tell me?"
With just two sentences, Xie Wang began to struggle.
Because his delusions have started acting up again.
How to eat it?
From a purely food perspective, you should at least wash it before eating.
He dared not sit on the bed with Ling Shuangjiang, because it was inappropriate and would only make him have inappropriate thoughts.
So he stood in front of Ling Shuangjiang as if he were being punished: "Anyway, you can't leave."
Ling Shuangjiang had no choice but to give him a indulgent smile: "You can stay here until I buy a house, but I'll pay the rent, okay?"
Paying rent?
How about paying with a kiss?
Two inexplicable phrases suddenly popped into Xie Wang's mind.
This time, he was very serious: "Ling Shuangjiang, how could we talk about money before? If we did, our friendship would be ruined."
Ling Shuangjiang: "But if I don't pay rent, I might not feel very at ease."
Xie Wang countered, "If I go to the South and stay at your house temporarily, will you charge me rent?"
It must be said that Xie Wang's question was indeed impossible for Ling Shuangjiang to answer, because he would definitely say "no".
"Alright." Ling Shuangjiang stood up and put her hands together in prayer. "Then I'll just stay at my friend's big house for now."
"That's right, Aiyou was just using it for free anyway."
It must be said that Xie Wang was extremely efficient. On the first day Ling Shuangjiang stayed here, Xie Wang's special assistant delivered all her daily necessities and intimate pajamas and underwear that fit Ling Shuangjiang's size.
Assistant Jin had been with Xie Wang for eight years and knew his temperament very well. He had just returned to China after helping Xie Wang handle some matters in France.
Before Assistant Jin left, Xie Wang emphasized: "This is the Frost's Descent. From now on, when you come to pick me up in the morning, don't be surprised to see him, because he will be living here all the time."
Assistant Kim nodded: "Understood."
Xie Wang continued, "I'll also mention it in the property management group later, asking them to keep their voices down when they're doing repairs or routine safety checks, because there's another person in my house now, and I don't want to scare him."
Assistant Kim remained expressionless: "Indeed."
Xie Wang picked up his phone: "Should I also tell everyone in the owners' group to take good care of our new family member?"
Assistant Kim's breathing became rapid: "You're right."
Xie Wang pondered again: "Go and talk to the company security. Tell them to come to the company to see me after Shuangjiang and take good care of him. Tell them to be gentle and not scare Shuangjiang."
Assistant Jin forced a smile: "Did the receptionist in the president's office also inform them?"
Xie Wang gave him an approving look: "You're right."
Assistant Jin smiled: "Should we add Mr. Ling's name to the property certificate?"
Xie Wang frowned: "He definitely won't agree."
Assistant Jin mentally gave Ling Shuangjiang a thumbs up: Well done!
Their boss actually had a day when he became a sycophant.
This is truly an eye-opening experience.
When Ling Shuangjiang came out of the shower, Xie Wang was holding a cup of hot milk for him: "Drink a cup before bed, so you won't be picky about where you sit."
Ling Shuangjiang said, "Thank you." He took the bowl and drank it in small sips.
Xie Wang watched him finish his drink with a kind, fatherly smile before leaving.
Before leaving, Ling Shuangjiang called him back: "Good night, Xie Wang."
Xie Wang turned around and gave a domineering smile: "Little Frost, goodnight."
Ling Shuangjiang suppressed a laugh, feeling that Xie Wang was inexplicably excited today.
Back in his room, Xie Wang tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
He suddenly realized that he and Ling Shuangjiang did not have any affectionate nicknames for each other.
For example, the other person kept calling him Xie Wang.
There is no difference between them and others.
He needed to think of a friendly way to address them and shorten the distance between them.
So what should Ling Shuangjiang call him?
Wang Ge? Too vulgar.
Reckless? Too foolish.
Brother Xie? Nothing special.
Confused, Xie Wang gradually fell asleep.
—
Two days passed in a flash, and Ling Shuangjiang gradually adapted to life in Bintan. As usual, he would suffer from insomnia for many days whenever he arrived in a new place before he could gradually adjust.
But with Xie Wang, I slept very well on the first night.
He is very comfortable here.
Although she's not in a rush to find a house right now, buying one within a month is still part of Ling Shuangjiang's plan.
Last night, he contacted Li Man to prepare to start work.
After learning that he had arrived in Bintan City ahead of schedule, Li Man made an appointment with him to start his first job this afternoon—shooting He Chun's autumn/winter advertisement, with Wen Ai as the female lead.
There are still five hours before filming starts; Li Man will come to pick him up soon.
At that moment, Lin Yinci called him on video to ask how he was doing. When she saw the TV wall behind him, Lin Yinci asked, "Ah Jiang, aren't you staying at a hotel?"
Ling Shuangjiang told Lin Yinci about staying at Xie Wang's house, but Lin Yinci still urged, "Honey, get the house settled as soon as possible. No matter how nice other people's houses are, they're never as comfortable as your own."
Ling Shuangjiang: "Mom, I know."
Lin Yinci asked with a hint of worry, "Ajiang, although you said Xie Wang likes you, he hasn't confessed to you yet. Since you're living in his house, won't he bully you?"
Ling Shuangjiang knew what Lin Yinci meant by "bullying," and comforted her, saying, "Mom, he has a very good character."
Lin Yinci: "Yes, take good care of yourself."
After hanging up the phone, Li Man went downstairs.
Ling Shuangjiang's nanny car has already been arranged by the company. Although it's not as luxurious as a big star's, it's still pretty good.
After he sat down, Li Man joked, "Our Xiaoshuangjiang is so rich? I can come here to pick up artists now."
Ling Shuangjiang guessed why she said that and explained, "This is a friend's house."
Li Man exclaimed, "Your friend is really rich. Few celebrities can afford this location and this size. Most importantly, the real estate developer here only sells to big shots, claiming it's a way to preserve value. Even if you have money, you can't buy it."
Ling Shuangjiang smiled and said, "That's amazing."
Li Man joked, "How does it feel to live here?"
Ling Shuangjiang: "It's fine."
Next, Li Man began to explain to him the relevant precautions for shooting the advertisement.
Ling Shuangjiang had already memorized today's advertising script, so Li Man went very smoothly when going over the process with her.
Li Man couldn't help but exclaim, "Shuangjiang, to tell you the truth, although I knew it was only a matter of time before you became famous, I never imagined you would become famous so quickly. This dating reality show really boosted your career."
When discussing the dating reality show, Li Man deliberately avoided mentioning Xie Wang's name. She felt that Ling Shuangjiang and Xie Wang should have had something going on, but it ended badly.
Ling Shuangjiang said honestly, "I didn't expect that either."
Li Man patted him on the shoulder: "Honey, although you were incredibly popular when you were young, experiencing ups and downs should make you understand how hard it is to seize opportunities. I hope you can work hard in your career in the future. With financial security, why worry about not having love?"
Ling Shuangjiang could understand the first half of the sentence.
But the second half of the sentence is shrouded in mystery.
Upon arriving at the studio, the makeup artist began applying makeup to Ling Shuangjiang. The makeup artist had seen "Love Signal" and could see that Ling Shuangjiang's skin was excellent even without makeup, but after seeing him in person, she realized that male celebrities' skin could also be as smooth as a peeled egg, as flawless as a child's.
She couldn't help but ask, "Don't tell me you never take care of your skin."
Ling Shuang replied: "Skincare."
The makeup artist found it even more surprising: "I've met many male celebrities, and they all say they never take care of their skin, and very few of them even use face masks."
Ling Shuangjiang calmly replied, "But I pay more attention to that."
The makeup artist nodded: "They should pay more attention to it. After all, in today's society, boys also need to take care of themselves, especially actors."
The supporting actors were coming and going. Wen Ai had her makeup done at the company before coming over, so she would arrive a little late.
Just then, Ling Shuangjiang suddenly bumped into a familiar figure.
Chen Ying stood in front of the mirror and greeted him: "Frost's Descent, long time no see."
Ling Shuangjiang: "Long time no see."
Chen Ying raised her watch and glanced at the time: "The male lead has arrived, but our female lead hasn't arrived yet?"
Ling Shuangjiang: "Wen Ai will come over after she finishes her hair and makeup at the company."
Chen Ying nodded her chin: "You go ahead and get busy."
After Chen Ying left, the makeup artist said, "She's a brand ambassador, why is she forced into this ad as a supporting character? What's her motive?"
"Brand ambassador?" Ling Shuangjiang murmured.
In the entertainment industry, international luxury brands pay great attention to and are very strict about the titles of their celebrities.
The brand's most valued spokesperson will represent the entire product line.
