Although he really wanted to beat this stinky brat up, Lin Yue still expressed, full of brotherly affections: “Your brother-in-law loves me and did his best to woo me. In the end, I felt moved so I ended up liking him as well.” …not!
That guy and this stinky brat had the same nature.
Clearly, he was the one who got interested first, but ended up tricking Lin Yue, making Lin Yue mistakenly think he fell in love with that loathsome guy first. What resulted was Lin Yue chasing after him crazily in reverse. It wasn’t until after they got together that Lin Yue finally discovered that loathsome guy’s true colors.
Just thinking about what happened made Lin Yue’s scalp turn numb.
The man’s methods were too superb. His body’s intuition was even faster than his reason.
He didn’t even know if he liked me, but he already knew how to build a trap and make me jump in! Hetui!
Lin Ji looked doubtful: “Is that what happened?”
But, he still wasn’t sure if he loved Rong Qing or not. Woo Rong Qing? Just what could he do to woo Rong Qing that will make him fall?
Thinking for a while, Lin Ji slowly formed a question mark.
Own a black beauty? A 10 million dollar luxury car? Or maybe a water park?
Seeing his face full of doubt, Lin Yue rolled his eyes. The man sitting next to him smiled without a word while thinking, he warned Lin Yue not to roll his eyes many times before yet he still violated it. In addition to the previous lie, how should he punish Lin Yue tonight?
“In any case, you should adapt yourself first to fit his taste. Chat with him about whatever he likes. Send him some presents and arrange for more dates. Then try to hold his hand. If you’re braver, you can even try to kiss him and see if he dislikes it or not. Something like that.” Lin Yue gave a few examples, summing everything up without much confidence.
The man beside him smiled even wider.
Aiya… isn’t this…what Lin Yue did while chasing him? So that one time he kissed him needed a lot of courage huh? Really wasn’t easy for him huh?
Lin Ji took a glance at Lin Yue’s face, then looked at his brother-in-law’s face. He suddenly realized. It seemed like… he asked the wrong person.
Lin Yue completely didn’t discover the slight frustration in his eyes and was still struggling to recall the plans he used in the past. The more he talked, the more Lin Ji started to stare at the man beside him. And the man’s smile deepened more.
After speaking for a while, Lin Yue took a sip of water. He suddenly thought of something and abruptly stood up: “Mom wanted me to bring something for you last time. Wait here for a second, I’ll get it for you.” He was a bit busy lately and almost forgot.
He just left, Lin Ji already walked in front of the man. He obediently lowered his head and called: “Brother-in-law.”
The man’s thumb rubbed down the corner of his mouth. His mood was not bad. To learn so many of Lin Yue’s little secrets made him feel very good. Since it’s like this, he can teach Lin Ji a few things here and there.
He beckoned with his hand and indicated Lin Ji to move his ear closer.
After a while, Lin Yue came back with a small box. This thing was delivered express. Even he didn’t know what it was.
“Here. Mom said it’s for you, but at that time you were filming in the forest, so she first mailed it here.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
He handed it over to Lin Ji, then suddenly became suspicious. He took a glance at the man, then took a glance at Lin Ji whose ears were slightly reddened. He turned his head to look at the man: “What did you say to my brother?” The kid was just fine a second ago.

Olc Al cbvvfv tlr tfjv jcv atfc ibbxfv yftlcv tlw: “Rba ublcu ab ybatfg sbe jcv ygbatfg-lc-ijk jcswbgf.”
Lin Yue sent Lin Ji all the way out the door and even watched him sit in the taxi and leave before he couldn’t resist looking at the man again: “You really didn’t say anything to my brother?”
The man smiled: “What do you think?”
Lin Yue was sure this time: “You definitely said something.”
Just look at how his stomach was filled with evil tricks. This was why Lin Yue fell back then.
The man suddenly picked him up horizontally. Scared, Lin Yue hastily hugged him around the neck: “What are you doing!?”
Smiling, the man reminded him as his gentle manner instantly turned somewhat sinister and unrestrained: “Did you forget, someone said just now that we didn’t have a nightlife?” He still remembered these words.
Lin Yue immediately became alarmed and started to struggle: “Didn’t I say, I wasn’t talking about that kind of nightlife!? And plus! We just did it yesterday! My back!” He can’t! He can’t do it anymore! He’s done!
The man slightly lowered his head to kiss him: “It’s okay. When you fall asleep, I’ll help you massage it.”
You beast, you even plan to do it until I pass out???
Lin Yue turned pale in fright. The two people’s figures disappeared behind the door. Faintly, the man’s well-intended confession could be heard: “I only briefly told your brother how I ‘chased’ you.”
….Fck. Then he can only light a candle for his future brother in law.
Before he fainted, Lin Yue’s head only had this one clear thought left in mind.
Rong Qing discovered that ever since that night, Lin Ji took the initiative a lot more.
The simple good morning and good night before changed to Lin Ji saying some casual daily things. For example, how his mom recently mailed him a cactus.
[What was your mom thinking, mailing you a cactus?] Appreciating the mysteries of human behavior?
A reply came quickly.
[She said, if someone was still single after 20, they needed to plant a cactus to remove evil. Only then can they find someone.]
[Hahahahahahahaha what kind of superstition is this!]
Rong Qing almost fainted from laughing too hard!
Was using a cactus to remove evil even effective?! That cactus is practically bare anyways. If any more gets removed, it won’t even have thorns.
Hearing the sound of Rong Qing’s wild laughter being transmitted through the phone, Lin Ji also laughed lightly.
“Next time wear earphones. Be mindful. I can hear you from outside. I told others that you were watching a funny video.” Gao Ning entered and locked the door behind her. She took off her beret and put it to the side, rubbing her ears for a second before finally handing over the scripts in her hand. “Take a look and pick.”
“Thank you.” Lin Ji said a word of thanks.
Gao Ning gave an odd expression in response: “You seem… a bit better than what I imagined.”
The hand that was flipping through the scripts paused for a second. Lin Ji said dryly: “What? Is my reputation in the company very bad?”
He flipped through the three scripts in his hand. It wasn’t a lot, but every script was a full manuscript. They were much better and definitely in a different class than some of the scripts he’s seen before that only had an outline at best.
Gao Ning opened a piece of gum: “No, not very bad. It was just my intuition. Based on your information, I thought you seemed like the type who’d be outwardly polite, but actually is cold and distant in reality.” Or else, why was it that Lin Ji’s been in the business for 10 years, but has never interacted with anyone on his blog? Yet, on the contrary, the opinions of him within the circle really weren’t that bad.
“Really?” Lin Ji only paused for one second, then continued to flip through the scripts with his head lowered.
Gao Ning shrugged her shoulders. Look, wasn’t this the same as what she expected? However, this was pretty good anyways. Lin Ji was already a very productive actor. Other than focusing on acting, everything else can be left for her to arrange.
Lin Ji flipped through all of the scripts very quickly and took one out.
Eyes sharp, Gao Ning smiled and asked: “You have no interest in this kind of CEO and white lotus city drama?”
Lin Ji nodded his head: “You don’t have to bring this kind of script to me in the future.”
Taking back the script, Gao Ning nodded her head: “Fine.” This script was from a long tv series, so it was easy to gain fans with it. But it looked like Lin Ji completely didn’t plan to go down this path.
Looking at the two other scripts in his hand, Lin Ji began to ponder deeply.
Both of these scripts were pretty good. The crucial point, however, was that in one script the role was male#2, and in the other the role was male#1.
Gao Ning saw him lost in thought and came over to take a look: “What do you think? These two auditions are on the same day. You can only pick one.”
“The same day?”
“En. You probably have heard of these two group’s directors before. Director Sheng and Director Tuan. A king doesn’t play well with another king. They’ve been opposing each other head-on for years now. These two series will also start filming at the same time and most likely, they’ll clash and be broadcasted at the same time as well.”
This also counted as a selling point between these two directors. Their clashing antics attracted plenty of viewing crowds. Normally when series are broadcasted together, one side must lose. But with the two kings vying for supremacy, it helped increase popularity and boosted interest. The two sides must have made arrangements in private, sharing the profit 50-50 all these years. That’s why they haven’t had any losses.
Now which one will Lin Ji pick?
Thinking for a while, Lin Ji put down the script for <<Wordless Report>>.
Gao Ning was a bit surprised here: “I thought you would like this one more.”
Although both scripts were pretty good, the character in <<Wordless Report>> was more developed. The other script, on the other hand, was also a cultivation series like <<Disparity of Heaven and Earth>> that Lin Ji was filming right now. For an actor, it wasn’t good to film the same genre back to back.
“I do.” Lin Ji said on the contrary.
Gao Ning: “Then why?”
Lin Ji shook his head. “If I acted in <<Wordless Report>>, I’m only interested in acting as the male lead. In comparison, this <<The Chronicles of Tang>> is a bit inferior, but the male lead’s scenes, to me, are a worthy challenge.” If he had to choose, of course he’d choose <<The Chronicles of Tang>>.
“So that’s it.” Gao Ning muttered to herself for a while: “I understand now. I will help you make the arrangements. Since you just finished your last scene, you should go back and take a good rest.”
Lin Ji nodded his head. He stood up and took two steps, then turned back: “What kind of plans does the company have for… him right now?”
Him? Gao Ning paused, then understood.
“He still has Xiao Ziqi under his management. It’s not easy to move him. While on this subject, if you become more popular than Xiao Ziqi, then he can be moved.” She said frankly.
The entertainment circle has always been like this. People listened to those who had strength.
Lin Ji nodded his head: “I understand.” When he finished, he left without looking back.
Gao Ning saw him leaving so bluntly, huffed twice, then made a phone call: “Director Sheng, I’m Xiao Ning. Got something to ask you. Can you give me a chance to audition for the male lead of your <<Wordless Report>>?”
…
“For who? Promise you’ll be satisfied in the end. Just an audition chance. If you really aren’t satisfied, then you can reject him directly. I’ll even send you gifts as an apology. What do you think?”
…
“Aiya, like I can screw you over? And plus, didn’t you say before that you are missing a bit of investments? If he can pass, maybe he can bring you some investments.”
…
“Who’s going to invest? Does that mean you are willing to give this opportunity? I’ll tell you when this goes through. Then it’s agreed?”
…
“Thank you Director Sheng. We’ll meet you then.”
Hanging up the phone, Gao Ning raised her brow, pleased. Thinking for a moment, she opened her email, considered her wording carefully, and then sent it out.
Head assistant He Qian, who was currently dealing with a bunch of issues, abruptly heard an email alert. He adjusted his glasses as he took a look.
Thank You for the new chapter (♡O v O♡)
She booked the other audition? I’m confused, do they not happen at the same time?
Yes but with the male lead that Lin Ji wanted not the second male lead offered and I don’t know if it is at the same time or not but probably yes. That’s what I understood 🙂
Oh that makes sense. I misunderstood and thought he wanted the other movie
What is going on with Lin Yue and his husband? Why is he only referred to as ‘the man’? Why is their background given so much room to shine and yet also is so vague? Why do I feel like this is a reveal waiting to happen? Is this a mystery or am I reading far too much into this??
I wanna know about him and his husband too! Why don’t we have a name? Does Lin Ji not know it? Is he somehow related to Rong Qing? I’m also reading way too much into it
Yeah I have a feeling he’s one of the male leads of the white Lotus and that there’s a tragic back story in the real novel, that he ended up leaving lin yue for the White Lotus because he was brainwashed or something
i love how lin yue’s husband is still called “the man” cus admittedly im still having a hard time w the names despite being 30 chapters in so hes giving me quite the breather 😭 but i do hope he gets one soon hahaha
+1 lol this man needs a name
Lin Yue and Rong Qing… can definitely see the similarity here along with their counterparts.
I don’t know if I really like that advice it seems like it’s gonna be a lot of more misunderstandings and a lot more annoyingness but the MC is kinda slow in that aspect so maybe he needs it this way cause if he knows from the get go that lin ji likes him I don’t think he would take it seriously cause he just wants to have sex and I feel like there’s gonna be a big reveal that he’s actually a virgin in the other world which would tick me off because I don’t know why everything has to be so good and goody or pure or whatever I hate that stereotype
