Chapter 53: I heard that some sisters want to play cards

"I said, I want to chase you. I wonder if you are willing to give me this chance."

Jiang Mian heard it clearly now, "No."

She packed her things and got up, knocking Ye Yi away and taking Li Laidi back to the hotel.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Xinxin knocked on Jiang Mian's door.

"Come on, master, come and try the tea eggs and pancake fruits I bought. This old lady is very good at making tea eggs. I finally caught her out of the stall."

Jiang Mian had just finished taking a shower and came over in pajamas. He looked at Zhao Xinxin carrying two bags and smiled, “Aren't you afraid of getting fat after eating so late?"

Zhao Xinxin sat on the sofa familiarly and waved to her, "What are you afraid of? If you gain weight, lose weight. Hey, your assistant is here too, I bought a lot."

She picked two tea eggs and handed them to Li Laidi, "Eat quickly, you're welcome."

"Thank you, Sister Xin."

Jiang Mian sat down and peeled an egg, "Let me guess, did Ling He buy this for you?"

"Cough...cough..." Zhao Xinxin choked on a mouthful of egg yolk, and Jiang Mian quickly handed her a glass of water.

After drinking it, she felt a little calmer. She looked at Jiang Mian with shock in her eyes, “How did you know?"

"Guess."

Zhao Xinxin was a little excited when she was guessed, "He is quite obedient on these matters, but that's it. If he doesn't help me buy it, I will file a complaint with Uncle Ling and Aunt Ling."

"When I came out to film, Aunt Ling told him to take good care of me."

As she spoke, she gnawed on the pancake fruit, like a cute little hamster puffing out her cheeks and eating greedily.

Jiang Mian raised her lips, "You said it's such a good opportunity, why did you come to me? Don't you two have a scene with each other tomorrow? Why don't you go find him to practice in advance?"

Zhao Xinxin was stunned, "That's right," and then added, "Forget it, I won't go." She waved her hand, "You don't know that he has many quirks. He doesn't allow anyone to disturb him at night and wants to take a beauty sleep."

“I don’t know what kind of beauty sleep a man can sleep on…”

"I remember when I was thirteen years old, I climbed through the window on the second floor of his house to look for him, and happened to find him taking a shower. He was angry at the time and asked me not to come to him again and disturb his rest."

Jiang Mian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Zhao Xinxin was probably the one with the slowest emotional intelligence among the two of them.

She poured a cup of coconut milk and put it on the coffee table, "Okay, you eat slowly, don't be in a hurry."

"You eat too, you eat too. I bought more." She raised her bright round eyes.

After half an hour, Zhao Xinxin had eaten and drank enough. "Hiccup," she laughed sheepishly, "hehe."

I don't know what other evil idea she had in mind, but suddenly her eyes lit up, "Sisters, two good sisters, do you want to play cards?"

Jiang Mian hesitated, "Are you really not going to sleep tonight?"

"Oh, it doesn't matter. Aren't we all filming night scenes tomorrow? Besides, how can we sleep if we eat so much?" She pitifully grabbed Jiang Mian's sleeves and blinked her big eyes in a cute way.

"Good sister, just play for a while."

Seeing Jiang Mian's relaxed look, she immediately raised her hands and cheered, "Okay, Master, I know you are the best to your disciple. Wait, I'll go call someone now."

Li Laidi looked at her fiery back and said, "She is so lively and cute..."

Five minutes later, Zhao Xinxin led Ye Yi over, "Look, I brought a new deck of cards."

Yeyi smiled and said, "I heard that some sisters want to play cards. I will come to accompany you right away."

Jiang Mian pulled Zhao Xinxin and whispered in her ear, "Why don't you call me Ling He?"

"Huh? Him?" Zhao Xinxin laughed indifferently, "Master, forget it, he can't play cards at all! He has been a good student since he was a child, how can he play cards!"

She shook her head, "Sit down quickly, sit down quickly, the four of us are just right."

Li Laidi, “Ah? Should I fight too?"

Zhao Xinxin patted her on the shoulder and entrusted her with the important task, "Yes, you can fight too, I believe in you."

The four of them cleared the table and sat down cross-legged.

Zhao Xinxin touched her chin, "We don't play with money. It's boring. If we lose, how about it's better than truth or dare?"

Nightwing slowly raised his hand, "This is exactly what I want."

Zhao Xinxin suddenly felt like she had found a confidant and high-fived him, "Okay, where are you two?"

Jiang Mian nodded, "Okay."

Li Laidi had no objection.

The four of them shuffled a handful of cards and started.

Jiang Mian lost the first round by chance. Zhao Xinxin rubbed her hands in anticipation, "Master, what will you choose?"

Jiang Mian said without hesitation, "Tell me the truth."

Zhao Xinxin tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Tell me about someone you like in the industry!"

"Song Xingjia."

"Ahhhhhhhh! Song Dynasty Best Actor! I like him too."

"He's so handsome!"

Yeyi laughed, wondering why he felt so out of place among a group of little girls.

Jiang Mian finally expected Ye Yi to lose. Regardless of Zhao Xinxin's overthinking, she asked directly, “Family background."

A narrow smile flashed across Yeyi's eyes, "I haven't chosen to tell the truth yet. Asking my sister like this will really cause misunderstanding."

"But since you want to know, there's nothing I can't say. As for me, both my parents are dead, and I'm just an ordinary rich man. As you know, I stepped in halfway and naturally brought money into the group."

Zhao Xinxin gave a thumbs up, "I respect your honesty. Give your performance a good performance. If you hold back, we will scold you."

Yeyi's face didn't turn red, his heart didn't beat, "Don't worry, I'm confident."

Jiang Mian was dubious, but didn't say anything more.

When Zhao Xinxin finally had fun, it was already one o'clock in the morning.

She cleared the table, stood up and said, "No more playing, no more playing, Master, I'm leaving. I'm so sleepy, I'll leave the cards here for now. I'll come over to play next time."

After that, without waiting for Yeyi to answer, she dragged him up, "Let's go, let's go, I think Master is sleepy too."

Yeyi looked at Jiang Mian one last time and nodded, "Okay."

As soon as the two of them opened the door, they saw Ling He standing at the door, and his face was livid when he saw the two of them going out together.

Zhao Xinxin's sleepiness immediately disappeared without a trace, her back straightened, and she felt a little scared for no reason. She lamented in her heart, "It's over..."

Jiang Mian saw them standing motionless at the door and followed him, "What's wrong?"

When he saw Ling He, Jiang Mian understood. He coughed awkwardly and said, "We played cards together. Xinxin wanted to call you, but she was afraid of disturbing you, so she let it go."

Ling He nodded, "This girl is causing trouble to you. I'm about to come and take her back."

After that, he looked at the little girl with only the top of her hair exposed, and snorted coldly, "Won't you come with me?"

Zhao Xinxin followed him and the two walked away.

Jiang Mian looked at the man who was still standing at the door, with a sly look in his eyes, "It's getting late, you should rest."

After saying that, she closed the door, shocking Nightwing and taking two steps back.

Ling He sent Zhao Xinxin back to her room.

When the two entered the door, Zhao Xinxin raised her eyes guiltily, "Okay, I'm here, you should go back and rest. By the way, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"If your assistant hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you had so much free time at night. Are you having fun? Do you know your lines by heart?"

"Happy...I don't have to carry it..." Zhao Xinxin said weakly.

She didn't know why Ling He was suddenly so fierce. Could it be that she didn't ask him to join him?

This is not okay. Zhao Xinxin poked Ling He with her finger, "Hey, I didn't mean not to play with you. I thought you were asleep. Don't you always go to bed early?"

Ling He gritted his teeth and said, "Zhao, Xin, Xin."

Zhao Xinxin was startled, "What...what's wrong? Don't hurt me...hiccup..."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xinxin burped in front of him. Zhao Xinxin was helpless. She pursed her lips and said, "It's all your fault... burping... for scaring me..."

Ling He's expression almost broke in a second. He suppressed his smile and said, "How much did you eat at night? I told you to eat less and more frequently. Why are you disobedient?"

Zhao Xinxin's heart broke into a river, "I knew... Hiccup, you also dislike me for eating too much, just like my heartless manager."

Ling He had no choice but to take out a glass of honey water from his back and said, "Drink it."

A joyful smile suddenly appeared on Zhao Xinxin's face, "What is this, the honey water you brought me? Hiccup... Wuwuwu, Linghe, you are so kind, I love you!"

Ling He's expression changed and he grabbed the back of her neck, "Don't say this word casually."

"Quick... let go and let me drink water."

Zhao Xinxin hugged the cup tightly, fuming, "What are you doing? Why don't you say it? Ling He, are you so unkind to my feelings? Hiccup... I just love you, my dad, my mom, and Uncle Ling." Auntie, I love everyone who treats me well!"

"You love me just because I'm nice to you?"

"Of course, you treat me badly. Why do I still like you?"

Ling He looked complicated, "After drinking, go to bed early, I'm leaving."

Zhao Xinxin kicked off her shoes and slammed them on the door. She sat on the bed, "What are you pulling on, you stinky Linghe! You should be eliminated from my husband-in-law candidate list!"

She muttered something under her breath, picked up the cup, drank the honey water in one breath, and lay down on the bed.

"It seems... I don't hiccup anymore..."

He and Zhao Xinxin played so late last night that Jiang Mian didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning the next day.

She opened her eyes drowsily, and touched her side as usual, but found nothing. This made her wake up from a dream, "I almost thought I was still in the villa..."

Li Laidi opened the door and came over, "Are you awake, Sister Mian? I brought you lunch."

Jiang Mian yawned, "Wake up, brother, you got up so early."

"I'm used to it." Li Laidi smiled, "I just came back and saw Sister Xin getting up and being dragged to eat by Ling He."

"These two are happy enemies."

She got out of bed and put on her shoes, "By the way, have you and Xiang Long made any progress recently?"

Li Laidi lowered his head in humiliation, "Sister, I will tell the truth in front of you. I really feel that I am not worthy of Xiang Long."

Jiang Mian raised her head with his little hands and stared at her, "What is there to make this worthy or unworthy?"

"Xiang Long's parents are alive and well, and the family is harmonious. My father is a gambler, and my mother is in poor health. Although I make a decent amount of money in a month, in general, it is still not as good as Xiang Long."

"Has he taken you to meet your parents?"

"No, no, no," Li Laidi shook his head, "He said he wanted to take me there, but I didn't agree."

Jiang Mian patted her and said, "He has even thought about meeting his parents, which shows that he is very serious about your relationship."
