I Ship My Rival x Me

CHAPTER 22

༻❁༺

Gu Yiliang saw the change in my expression and leaned over in curiosity to look at my phone before laughing. "Ah, I didn't explain it clearly to her, she misunderstood."

Wait, no. Then what are you still laughing about? Quick, shouldn't you explain it now?

He thought about it. "But this is fine too. If there's something, we can even get her to cover for us. Just let her treat you as the lady boss then."

Just now, it had taken him so much effort just to say the word boyfriend, but now he was so comfortable saying the words lady boss? What was there to cover for us? Did we have to get all our people involved in this professional relationship of ours? ...

But all these were not the key points.

I was already used to him shoving the huge amount of fluff in my face periodically. Without a change in my expression, I secretly enjoyed this piece of fluff, then looked at him sulkily. "Why am I the lady boss? Get her to change it hurry up and change it!"

"Oh." He looked down at his phone and sent a few messages.

༻❁༺

My phone vibrated with an Alipay message, and I glanced down at it.

It was a message from Gu Yiliang's assistant. "Sorry, sorry, I greeted you wrongly just now! Thank you, Sister-in-law (嫂子 in Chinese means your brother's wife. I guess it can be used as your brother's significant other? But the connotation still heavily implies a female role.)!!"

Me: "..."

Gu Yiliang, you're getting your people to fool me, right?! I'm going to sic Little Chen on them!

༻❁༺

With a few taps, I sent Little Chen a WeChat message, the content being that from next month onwards, his salary would come from Gu Yiliang.

My phone vibrated. Little Chen's response came very quickly.

OrangeWarmSun: Oh great! This progress is so fast! Yanyan is so impressive, help me thank Brother-in-law (哥夫 is used here, which comes from 姐夫, your older sister's husband. In this case, Little Chen is calling Gu Yiliang his elder brother's husband, implying very strongly that Gu Yiliang is playing the male role.)!

༻❁༺

I blacklisted him.

༻❁༺

Although Gu Yiliang did not see Little Chen's reply, seeing how my face changed even more, he smiled and reached out, wanting to pinch my face.

Just as he lifted his hand, he stiffly put it back down slowly. Vapidly, he spoke, "Mn... Then, good night?"

"Mn, sure." It was already late at night. I stood up, and walking to the door. "Isn't there a shoot for a magazine tomorrow afternoon? Sleep earlier, and get a bit more rest, then you'll look good on camera."

He stood up as well, walking me to the door. "You too. Remember to prepare a few sets of your personal clothes just in case."

I opened the door, heading out. "The drama leads are all going. What could possibly happen? Don't worry, don't worry."

He followed me out. "Mn. If you're not able to sleep well, I have a steam eye mask that's pretty comfortable. I'll prepare some for you next time."

I nodded gratefully. "Sure, sure. I have an essential oil to aid sleep that's pretty good as well, I'll get some for you next time."
