Chapter 79: More Please – I’m Dead from the Sweetness
The news of Wen Han’s awakening caused a stir in Beihai.
The Wen family was already quite wealthy, and the news of his sudden illness more than a year ago caused his company, which was on the rise, to decline. Although Wen’s father stepped in, his business philosophy was different from Wen Han’s, and he couldn’t manage the company effectively, so the once thriving company was now just lukewarm, not losing money, but not making much either.
Wen Han had shown outstanding business talent since he was young, so this change was a pity to many. Now that he was awake, the Wen family’s doorstep was practically worn down by visitors.
Coincidentally, November 7th was Wen Han’s birthday, hosted by the Wen family, and Dong Ling was naturally among the invited guests.
The coldness of late autumn seemed to numb one’s senses, but upon entering the Wen residence, a wave of warmth washed over her.
Dong Ling and Wen Han were too familiar to engage in superficial greetings, those who knew about Wen Han’s situation naturally also knew about his physical condition.
Wen Han focused on rehabilitation immediately after waking up, exercising his leg muscles, and with the system’s compensation, he was now even healthier than before his coma.
Dong Ling took off her coat, sat on a small sofa, and ate some pastries. Only after Wen Han finished greeting the other guests and came over did she hand him her gift.
“Happy birthday, another year older, may all your birthday wishes come true.”
Dong Ling didn’t say anything fancy, just a simple blessing.
Wen Han said with a blank expression: “I want to go back and ascend the throne.”
It was impossible for him to let go of something like that so easily, Wen Han didn’t actually have a strong desire to be an emperor, after all, he knew where his true home was, but at least let him finish the job before bringing him back, what was the difference between that and dying with regrets?
“Brother, the past is in the past.” Dong Ling rarely called Wen Han “brother,” usually only when she felt he was incredibly impressive, or incredibly pitiful, she said with a hesitant expression, “How about I invest in your next movie and let you play an emperor to satisfy your craving?”
Wen Han said with a dry smile: “Are you looking for a beating?”
Dong Ling mumbled: “I’m just trying to comfort you.”
“Well, thank you very much, where is that person? Didn’t she come with you?”
Wen Han looked around, but didn’t see Song Mingzhi.
“She’s back in Jingzhou for work, and she’s a celebrity, it wouldn’t be good if she was photographed.”
“Aren’t there plenty of celebrities here? Your precious girlfriend is so valuable, why are you still keeping your relationship a secret?”
Wen Han was a bit critical of Song Mingzhi, not out of dislike, but his first impression was that Song Mingzhi wasn’t simple, someone who could manipulate Dong Ling so easily, he couldn’t help but worry that Dong Ling would be hurt.
He didn’t believe that characters in novels were real people, he was also a character, and he wasn’t exactly a purely good person.
Dong Ling replied cheerfully: “We’re not in a hurry to go public, it’s not a big deal, and a secret relationship, it sounds kind of exciting.”
Wen Han: …………
Idiot.
Dong Ling truly didn’t mind a secret relationship, after all, it was their own life, there was no need for everyone to know, besides, she and Song Mingzhi already had quite a few CP fans, she could imagine how many more there would be after the new movie was released.
A month later, Yu Shuangwei submitted the film for review, and after the review process, “The Legend of Liang Jin’an” was scheduled for release during the Spring Festival, and they began the related promotional activities.
This type of film usually didn’t do well during the Spring Festival, or rather, non-commercial films rarely did well during such a period, but Yu Shuangwei wasn’t aiming for box office success, but for something more long-term.
During this time, Song Mingzhi didn’t participate in any entertainment industry activities. Her loyal fans kept urging the company, hoping for her to make an appearance, and because of her long absence, she lost quite a few fans.
Zuo Zhen was a little anxious seeing this, but both Song Mingzhi and Dong Ling, her boss, didn’t seem to care.
Song Mingzhi wasn’t aiming for popularity, and she didn’t need the support of fans to get resources, setting aside her acting skills, she had strong financial backing.
“Director Yu said the roadshow is about to start, she wants us to cooperate with the promotion, I’ll go pack later?”
Dong Ling, lying on the bed, swinging her legs, looked at Song Mingzhi, who had just entered the room, and relayed the news.
“Director Yu also messaged me, I’ll pack later, you just stay put, I’ll get you some fruit, sit up and eat.”
Song Mingzhi placed the fruit on the table beside her and took out the suitcase from the corner.
Dong Ling reached out coquettishly: “Pull me up.”
Song Mingzhi extended her hand, letting Dong Ling use it to sit up.
After feeding her little girlfriend the first piece of fruit, Song Mingzhi started packing with a gentle smile.
The suitcase was filled with Dong Ling’s clothes, with a dedicated space for her skincare products.
Dong Ling had sensitive skin, prone to dryness even in spring, so she paid attention to moisturizing, and Song Mingzhi remembered this.
“Let’s bring some anti-allergy medicine as well, just in case.”
Song Mingzhi muttered, taking the medicine from the drawer and putting it in the suitcase, she looked through it for a while, then added some of Dong Ling’s small items.
When it was her turn to pack, her things were much simpler, just three sets of clothes and a set of toiletries, very concise.
Dong Ling looked at her suitcase and Song Mingzhi’s, hugged Song Mingzhi from behind, and snuggled against her.
“Aren’t you bringing anything else?”
“I’ve already brought my most precious treasure, that’s enough.”
Song Mingzhi felt the soft arms around her waist and turned her head, smelling Dong Ling’s fragrance.
“Mingzhi, I’ll be spoiled rotten by you if this continues.”
Dong Ling feigned distress, she was already pampered by her family, and her older lover’s care was even more tender.
Jiejie was the best!
“Really? Then let me check.”
As for how to check… the damp bedsheets would tell.
Slender, fair fingers clutched Song Mingzhi’s short hair weakly, a warm, moist spring rain creating a hazy, peach-colored blush.
Delicate as a willow, unable to withstand the gentle breeze.
At the appointed time, Dong Ling and Song Mingzhi set off together.
Faced with Song Mingzhi’s long-awaited return to public view and their CP appearing together, the long-silent CP fans were in a frenzy again.
@PleaseSendMeOffToMyGrave: I almost thought they were going to BE, one hasn’t appeared in public for so long, the other is nowhere to be found, we had to rely on a business magazine to see them together, so sad,wuwuwu, I can only relive old memories to survive.
@SweetSongZhong: Domineering CEO x Canary will never BE!
@DongLing’sCivilianGirlfriend: Sisters, have you seen the interview clip from the roadshow? Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter! The reporter asked Song Jie, “What’s your relationship with CEO Dong in the movie?”
Because the reporter’s camera flash blinded CEO Dong, Song Jie replied coldly, “Anyone who studied history would know,” such a burn!
Then the reporter asked Song Jie how she would summarize Liang Jin’an’s life, Song Jie thought for a moment and said: “Power and Su Changying.”
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I’m dead from the sweetness! I suggest everyone rewatch this clip! The way Song Jie looked at Dong Ling when she said that, it really makes you feel like Dong Ling is her true love, so charming!
@MyCPIsTheBestInTheWorld: I saw it too, truly worth savoring repeatedly, I’m not just dead, I’ve ascended! And sister upstairs, your name is very bold! No different from Cao Cao!
@AlwaysSleepy: CEO Dong even seemed to blush, truly a perfect combination of elegance and cuteness! She looks so aloof and mature usually, but so sweet and innocent in front of Song Jie, Song Zhong SZD! (SZD – Shi Zhen De – It’s real)
A GIF from the roadshow even went viral, and after the movie’s trailer was released, there were even more screams online.
@AnZhiTingLan: Aaaaaaaaaa, Tyrant Jiejie, slay! That fierce and flirtatious aura is such a contrast to Song Jie’s usual cold and aloof demeanor, who wouldn’t say Song Mingzhi is awesome?!
@StickingWithBeauties: CEO Dong’s visuals, drools, please live in the entertainment industry, even just as a pretty face, so beautiful!
@ShiningWithSunAndMoon: The scene where Su Changying and Liang Jin’an meet is so captivating, the sexual tension is amazing, Liang Jin’an didn’t even do anything indecent, but her gaze already stripped the girl bare, alluring but not greasy, so powerful, although she’s a newcomer, she has a mature aura, those who take the flower path (sponsored/protected by a wealthy benefactor) are truly different!
@SweetToDeath: Lock this CP up, doesn’t everyone love a powerful canary and a whimpering domineering CEO?
There were countless such comments online, and Dong Ling couldn’t stop smiling.
She immediately logged into her Weibo account, liked several comments praising Song Mingzhi’s acting, and then started a lottery to promote the movie.
This was a common practice among fans, but those following her were confused because Dong Ling not only reposted these comments, but also a picture of her and Song Mingzhi drawn by a famous Song Zhong CP fan.
@ALittleZhi: Logged out and logged back in, double-checked, this is Jieshi’s Weibo account, right?
@SongZhongSistersEatWhat: Even CP fans are shocked, is this anti-fan switching sides?
@RuoTaoBuYu: Has Jieshi Jiejie been softened by her girlfriend? All her recent posts are about her sweet daily life with her girlfriend, is this why she gained so many followers, and realized her previous mistake? Perhaps even Jieshi Jiejie thinks Song Jie and CEO Dong are sweet?
Dong Ling didn’t reply to these speculations, just expressed her love for her girlfriend as usual, and then left Weibo.
At the premiere of “The Legend of Liang Jin’an,” the task system calculated the reward.
[Current main storyline progress: 80%, congratulations.]
[New task issued: Participate in the same variety show with the female lead and engage in some sweet interactions, prepare for a public announcement, completing this task will reward 6% main storyline progress.]
036 appeared at this time and said: [Don’t worry about the time limit, after the intelligent optimization and adjustment, the tasks are now issued based on data algorithms, there’s no fixed deadline.]
[It’s just dating, why be in such a hurry?]
As expected of an anti-CP system, so carefree.
Dong Ling: [Okay, I understand, thank you.]
[By the way, how is 021’s recovery going?]
Dong Ling was still concerned about the greasy system that had been accompanying her.
036: [He’s currently undergoing rehabilitation and further training, he’s fine.]
Dong Ling: [Training?]
036: [Everyone thinks his way of speaking is outdated, even palace intrigue systems don’t say ‘This servant is unable to do it’ anymore, he needs to keep up with the times.]
Dong Ling thought, indeed, she didn’t want to be called “girl” anymore.
What kind of variety show should she and Song Mingzhi participate in?
Dong Ling discussed this with Song Mingzhi, and the two of them, along with Zuo Zhen, started researching current and upcoming variety shows, but couldn’t find anything they were interested in.
“Why don’t we invest and create our own?”
That’s what a domineering CEO would say.
The wealthy canary beside her nodded, fully approving of this proposal.
