Chapter 8: Testing if it works

Jiang Mian even deliberately straightened her back and cleared her throat lightly twice, "It's like this, a variety show has approached me recently, and it's a great opportunity for my transformation. Plus, it's quite challenging, involving a month of training in the army."

"If I go, I will not be far from the Golden Horse Film Award."

After saying this, Jiang Mian looked proudly at her own father, "Old man, we're getting close to bringing you the Golden Horse Film Award. Aren't you looking forward to it?"

Her eyes sparkled as if she was waiting for everyone's response.

The three people glanced at each other and Lin Shengqiang cleared his throat, "Let's eat, let's eat."

Hmph.

They didn't even give any feedback, not believing in me.

Fu Sichen wrapped his arm around Jiang Mian's slender waist and whispered in her ear, "I support you."

Jiang Mian turned her head and almost kissed Fu Sichen, the thin lips of the man slightly curled, and a sense of dominance loomed over her.

That expression...

Damn man!!

He's probably waiting to laugh at me.

Three pairs of eyes stared intently at their heavy, intermingling breaths.

Until—

"The last fish soup is here, Miss and our son-in-law are really affectionate. This fish soup is good for the body, drink more of it."

Aunt Zhang brought the last bowl of soup to the table, teasing Jiang Mian as she couldn't help herself.

Jiang Mian averted her gaze, her earlobes slightly warm under her hair. She stammered twice, her voice carrying a coquettish tone, "Aunt Zhang... don't tease me anymore."

Aunt Zhang laughed twice, "Okay, I won't say anything more, you two go ahead and eat."

This meal, the family very tacitly avoided the significant announcement Jiang Mian had just made.

After dinner, the three men disappeared, leaving Jiang Mian a bit bored. Just as she was about to get up and look for Fu Sichen, Luo Ting's relentless calls came through.

Jiang Mian hesitated for two seconds but still answered, and before she could speak, a barrage of words almost drowned her—

"Have you made up your mind, ancestor?"

"It's been almost 24 hours since yesterday to this point, haven't you decided yet?"

"Madame, I have been waiting all night for your news."

"I guarantee my personal reputation that you will absolutely love this show."

...

"Stop! Hold it!"

When Jiang Mian woke up today and saw the 99+ messages on her phone, she was grateful that she had her phone on sleep mode, otherwise, she would have been bombarded to death by her dear agent.

She swung on the swing twice, her fine white fingers wrapped around her phone, pausing for two seconds, "Seeing as you're so sincere, I'll consider it."

"Don't consider, just say you want to go."

Luo Ting felt that she had to lock down this ancestor for life, damn it, how can she be so bewitching, and yet so willingly cajole her.

Poisonous!!

"Tomorrow, there's a magazine shoot, I'll come to pick you up in the morning. Be careful tonight."

Hearing the end, Jiang Mian's voice carried a laugh, "I tell you, Agent Luo, knowing too much isn't a good thing, and besides, my husband isn't that capable; he can't do it several nights in a row."

Luo Ting "tsk-tsk" twice, "Young people, take care of your health."

Jiang Mian couldn't have felt more comfortable after satisfying her desire to speak her mind.

Just after she hung up the phone, a deep and crisp laugh came from behind her.

!!!

Jiang Mian felt a chill on her back and turned around to face Fu Sichen's handsome visage, which at the moment bore an expression full of deep meaning.

She felt a little guilty, wondering why every time she spoke ill of someone they would catch her.

Such bad luck.

Fu Sichen leaned against the wooden post next to the swing, his tall figure appearing somewhat languid, the smile at the corner of his mouth had yet to fade, seemingly waiting for an explanation from the woman before him.

Jiang Mian bit her red lip and quickly adjusted her expression, walking towards Fu Sichen and proactively wrapped her arm around his strong one, "Where did you go just now? I've been looking for you for a long time."

Fu Sichen's eyes darkened with laughter as he looked at the woman next to him, his voice dragging with a magnetic ending as he leaned close to Jiang Mian's pale ear, "Searching for me to verify whether—"

"I can—or—can't?"

!!!!

Jiang Mian immediately felt a flush from her earlobes to her entire body.

Whether you can or not is none of my damn business!!!
