My Darling (我的曼达林)

Untitled Part 11

For all who celebrate, happy Easter!

I had to LOL at the compliment of "Your eyes are so pretty, like a cow's eyes." Would any of you ladies be impressed with that one?

This! Is! A! Turning! Point!

Chapter 3.3 — You and Me, Together (3)

Out in the hallway, Xie Bin, who was still holding the garment, narrowly escaped getting his fingers crushed by the door that had banged shut.

Scared by this, he took two steps back. With a glance at Tong Fei, whose head was still lowered as she continuously chatted away on WeChat using three different mobile phones, he asked quietly, "Do those two have a chance?"

Tong Fei pondered for a moment, then whispered back, "That friend of mine really does view that one of yours as family. But that can also be the foundation for a relationship—he's got the advantage of proximity to her. But that one of yours is just too overbearing. All he knows is to force her to not have a boyfriend, force her to eat, force her to see him. It's not like that friend of mine was born a maso and likes being abused... Go and accept some more projects for him that are romance movies. Maybe he will be a little better after that."

"He hates doing kissing scenes. You tell me, how am I supposed to accept romance movie projects for him? Even if I get him one that's a human-ghost romance, there'll still be kissing scenes."

"......"

Xie Bin continued murmuring, "Think I can pay her so that, last-minute, she'll decide to stay here and be with Jian Bianlin?"

Tong Fei snapped, "Get lost, you. That's crossing the line."

Xie Bin clarified, "It's just to keep Jian Bianlin company, to help him get past this hurdle. But that friend of yours, her heart is too callous. She doesn't leave even the tiniest bit of wiggle room in this. This is a very critical period, eh."

By his ear, Tong Fei murmured, "I express my deepest sympathies, but every person is an independent individual. It just depends on how and whether fate brings them together."

After Tong Fei finished saying this, she felt that something was wrong. By what right did he have to say that Chu Jian was in the wrong?

She leaned over to his ear again and whispered, "That friend of mine, her heart is not callous at all. I cried for one night, and then she went and sold her apartment and gave me two million to start up my production company. She's the textbook example of someone who gives in to the soft approach but resists coercion, you know?"

With a wry smile, Xie Bin shook his head. "But with the type of person that Jian Bianlin is, making him plead with someone or ask for help is even harder than making him go die."

"So that's what you call 'two people who are absolutely not made to be a match.'"

"Bin Ge!" That person who had come looking for Xie Bin earlier had circled back again. "Hurry! The organizers are asking you, is it okay if Ying Chen and Jian Bianlin walk the red carpet together?"

Xie Bin answered rather impatiently, "That'll be just too weird. Two men walking the red carpet together? I'll call them in a bit to discuss."
