Chapter 562 - 560: Want to join?
Just as she was about to leave, Chi Yue came over and asked, "Do you want to grab a meal together?" He paused, "I know a restaurant where there won’t be any reporters."
Thinking that he had saved her, she indeed should invite him for a meal, "Sure, I’ll treat you."
Chi Yue didn’t argue, "Let’s go, I’ll drive you there!"
Ji Niandong nodded and followed him. After all, she hadn’t driven here herself.
After looking around and confirming there was really no one around, she got into the car.
As soon as she sat down, Chi Yue gestured towards the seatbelt, so Ji Niandong quickly fastened it and said, "Now going out for a meal feels like committing a crime, afraid of being caught."
Chi Yue smiled as he drove, replying, "Once you’re in this line of work, you make money faster than ordinary people, but you also sacrifice and lose a lot more. Sometimes, just wanting to do something ordinary like shopping at a supermarket is impossible."
"Yeah!" Ji Niandong couldn’t help but sigh, "I didn’t cherish it back then. Now I can’t do what I want."
Wanting to have a child, she even needed to discuss it with Ada, and she still didn’t know how to bring it up!
"Thinking back, it was better during the less popular times, doing things I loved, with some relative freedom. Now, it’s probably even hard to find a wife."
Chi Yue couldn’t help but sigh. Ji Niandong burst out laughing, "You’re exaggerating. Those big stars are all married!" She asked curiously, "I think Liang Ziyu is nice and seems to be good to you."
He had a romantic plot with Liang Ziyu in "Picking Up a Nine-tailed Fox," and Ji Niandong always thought they were a perfect match, and Liang Ziyu was indeed quite nice to him.
Chi Yue smiled and shook his head, maintaining his gentle demeanor, "We’re both in the circle, living together is even harder."
"You don’t want someone from the entertainment industry, huh?" Being within the industry, it is indeed difficult, as both have their own commitments. If they’re shooting a film, sometimes they wouldn’t see each other for months, not to mention facing pressure from media and fans. Many artists end up breaking up or even divorcing after marriage. Besides, the entertainment industry is full of temptations and dirt; maintaining a pure relationship is really tough.
Ji Niandong added, "But you were a child star, relying on the film academy, you probably don’t know many people outside the industry, do you?" Suddenly her eyes lit up, "It’s trendy to find fans now; do you have any crazy fans chasing you? I heard gossip that a mysterious rich second-generation beauty is after you, is it true?"
"Do you love browsing Weibo when you’re free and listening to those big V rumors?" Chi Yue couldn’t help but ask, but indeed, such a thing was happening.
"You’ve caught me!" She awkwardly laughed a couple of times.
Laughing and chatting, the two went to that restaurant. This restaurant is a membership-only place, much like Beiyuan, so there weren’t many people loitering around.
Chi Yue led Ji Niandong inside, and the staff hurried up to serve them. Seeing them appear together, although not gossiping, they still had big smiles, and directly took them to a private room.
Ji Niandong couldn’t help but ask, "Don’t you think the waiters are giving us strange looks?"
"We’re generating quite the buzz as a CP here, so naturally going out for a meal draws attention. But they won’t say anything; many celebrities come here. This one must be new, otherwise, they’d be used to it by now." Chi Yue explained politely, reaching out to pour her some tea.
