Chapter 264: Arise
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
While Lu Qingye wasn’t paying attention, she secretly moved her hand down towards her lower abdomen. Once she felt the iPad, she grasped it in her hand.
There was a smile in her eyes, and shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks. Her infectious smile seemed to have a charm to it.
Perhaps it was this expression of Meng Chuyuan’s that caused Lu Qingye to be enraptured. Meng Chuyuan straightened her back. The back of his hand was still pressed against the wall, and he forgot to react for a moment.
Meng Chuyuan looked into his deep eyes and approached him quietly.
As she approached, Lu Qingye could clearly see that pair of doe eyes enlarging infinitely in front of him, occupying his entire vision.
Lu Qingye could clearly feel a warm breath approaching him. His body suddenly stiffened, and his breathing stagnated. A wave of heat spread from the bottom of his heart, and a blush crept up his face.
Both of them seemed to be pretending to be calm in front of each other. One could vaguely hear their heartbeats.
By the time the atmosphere of the scene began to seem affectionate, the two of them had only looked at each other for only about ten seconds.
In the blink of an eye, the smile on Meng Chuyuan’s lips began to diminish. She raised her left hand and unexpectedly pinched Lu Qingye’s chin, turning his face to the side.
“Get up.” After removing her hand, she pulled Lu Qingye’s arm down and said calmly, “Do you think you’re acting in a k-drama?”
‘ Lu Qingye frowned and quickly stood up.
When he lowered his eyes, he inadvertently saw the picture on the iPad. His brows furrowed and confusion surfaced in his eyes.
He saw Meng Chuyuan’s work. The small figure in the picture looked cute and pitiful.
What puzzled him was that Meng Chuyuan had drawn the character in a cute chibi style. There were two ears drawn on the small figure’s head and a dog tail. He was trapped in a cage and sat cross-legged on the ground, working with tears streaming down his face.
There was a box of luncheon meat outside the cage. Beside it was a woman sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed and a long whip in her hand. The drawing outside the cage was not perverted, but Meng Chuyuan’s lines were very clear. He could almost guess how evil the woman’s smile was.
Meng Chuyuan noticed that he did not speak for a long time. When she came back to her senses, she realized that Lu Qingye was staring at the iPad.
As a psychological reaction, Meng Chuyuan still reached out to block the screen.
“Stop covering it.” Lu Qingye glanced at her and exposed her mercilessly. “I saw everything.”
“I’m just casually drawing.” Bored, she drew for fun.
Lu Qingye looked at her in disbelief. “Why did you paint me as a dog?”
If Meng Chuyuan had not drawn the white velvet coat he was wearing, perhaps Lu Qingye would not have realized that the small figure trapped in the cage was originally him.
Seeing that he did not seem to be satisfied with her work, Meng Chuyuan asked softly, “Then should I change you to a production team’s donkey? Will that fit you better?”
“…” That was even worse than a dog!
Seeing that Lu Qingye did not reply, Meng Chuyuan knew that he must be dissatisfied.
She handed the iPad and stylus to Lu Qingye and pretended to yawn. She said in a muffled voice, “I’m sleepy. Let’s talk tomorrow.”
Lu Qingye took the items from her hand. Meng Chuyuan turned around and pulled the blanket to lie down.
In order to complete the family recording as soon as possible, the production team found the families of the various teams and sent them a questionnaire.
At first, when Lin Youjuan received this questionnaire, she did not take it to heart.
It was not until Liao Jiake’s mother-in-law asked her out for afternoon tea that the two of them talked about the variety show’s questionnaire.
“Juan, did your family receive the letter of intent from the production team?
They want to arrange for the last episode to be filmed at home. Did you agree?” Lin Youjuan took a bite of the mousse cake and said casually, “I haven’t filled it in yet.”
On the day she received the questionnaire, she took a cursory look at it and saw that the deadline was within five days, so Lin Youjuan was in no hurry to fill it in.
She was a procrastinator and did not panic at all until the deadline.
“Why aren’t you filling it in?”
“There are still a few days left. I’ll think about it.” Lin Youjuan didn’t like outsiders coming to her house. Moreover, she was a little afraid of the camera. When she considered these problems, she began to feel uncomfortable.
“What’s there to think about? Let’s fill in the form together today, lest we forget about this in two days.”
Under the persuasion of Liao Jiake’s mother-in-law, Lin Youjuan finally took
out her phone and opened the questionnaire.
Lin Youjuan was torn between agreeing and disagreeing.
After the rich lady sitting opposite her finished filling in the form, she saw that Lin Youjuan’s brows were furrowed and her phone screen was still on the questionnaire. She quickly guided her to fill in the form. “Just agree. It’s only half a week. It’ll pass quickly.”
This was the first time Lin Youjuan had encountered such a thing. She found it quite novel.
There seemed to be two people arguing inside her. One was asking her to be brave and try it out, while the other was asking her to refuse.
After hearing the rich lady’s words, Lin Youjuan started to lean towards agreeing to the filming.
She hesitated for a while before saying, “…Then I’ll agree too.”
“That’s right. When the time comes, we can even visit each other and go out together.”
After the afternoon tea ended, the two of them went shopping and bought all kinds of things to go home.
“Son, don’t go. Come to Mommy.” Lin Youjuan happened to meet Lu Jinsen when she got home. Hence, she kindly stopped him. “I have something to ask you.”
Lu Jinsen wanted to go back to his room to read his script, but when he heard his mother calling him, he did not go upstairs.
“What’s the matter?” He took the initiative to walk towards his mother.
The butler was carrying things in for Lin Youjuan with a few servants. When he saw the bags, Lu Jinsen could not help but frown.
Lin Youjuan stood beside the sofa and instructed them, “Just leave it here.”
Lu Jinsen found a seat and sat down. He watched silently as Lin Youjuan counted her things.
When Lin Youjuan returned her attention to him, Lu Jinsen repeated his words. “Mom, why are you looking for me?”
The next second, Lin Youjuan picked up a few gift boxes and looked at Lu
Jinsen with a smile. “I bought you a few sets of clothes. See if they fit.” Lu Jinsen looked at the items and was puzzled. “What day is it today?”
His whole life he had never worn the clothes bought for him by his mother.
When he and Lu Qianling were young, Lu Qingye was in charge of their food and clothing, and Lin Youjuan often couldn’t even answer when asked how old her children were. It was unlikely that she would buy clothes for him.
Noticing his mother’s abnormal behavior, Lu Jinsen immediately became vigilant. “Did you buy it for a promotion?”
Although he was a little flattered, his mind was still clear.
“Rascal, your mother has a net-worth of tens of billions. Why would I be greedy for such a small benefit?” Lin Youjuan threw the clothes in her hands into his arms and said, “They’re all brands that young people like..”
