Chapter 1297 - Man enough to stand up after suffering a blow! (1/2)

There were many pretty ladies in the world, but Cai Jingyao was the only one who loved her wholeheartedly…

Lu Jinbei’s heart ached terribly. He turned around and pretended to walk to the coffee table to get some water to drink, hiding his reddened eyes.

…

Tang Zheng, who was in the midst of smoking, was eating the lollipop his daughter had given him. When he heard Lu Jinnan say that he would let Su Manman and Cai Jingyao compete for the endorsement, Tang Zheng took out the lollipop from his mouth and widened his eyes at Lu Jinnan. “Are you crazy? To let Su Manman and Cai Jingyao compete? You clearly know that that woman is up to no good by making use of Xiao Bei!”

Still probing Lu Jinnan with his gaze, Tang Zheng added, “Don’t tell me… you’re thinking of secretly developing a second romance because of Bai Xiaonian’s pregnancy? Let me tell you, Lu Jinnan! Our Nainai and Xiaonian are on pretty good terms. If you let Xiaonian down while she’s pregnant, don’t say that I’m a bad brother and that I’m ignoring you!”

Lu Jinnan was speechless.

“What are you thinking? I won’t have an affair even if you have one!” Lu Jinnan removed his suit jacket and placed it on the back of the chair. He rolled his eyes at Tang Zheng and said, “Xiao Bei said that this was going to be the last time he begs me for something, so I took the chance to agree. I also want to see what kind of regret he’d feel when he discovers that Cai Jingyao is just toying around with his feelings. Let’s see if he was man enough to stand up after suffering a huge blow!”

Tang Zheng was speechless.

This older brother was so scary. Thankfully, he was the only son and had no older brother.

Cai Jingyao and Su Manman were to shoot the commercial of the new perfume simultaneously. The Kaide Corporation would then vote for the two commercials, and the one with more votes would be chosen as the new spokesperson and get the endorsement deal.

When Cai Jingyao heard this news, she was confident and even a little excited instead of feeling intimidated or afraid.

She had always liked to compete with others since she was young. She always felt that getting something by seizing it from someone else was more precious and thrilling!

For example, how she had snatched Lu Jinbei from Bai Xiaonian all those years ago.

Su Manman and Cao Jingyao would film the advertisement concurrently. If the commercial that she shot was picked, she would be known as the one who defeated Su Manman. From then on, Su Manman’s title as a femme fatale would be hers, and her standing in the country would instantly skyrocket.

Even if Su Manman’s advertisement was selected in the end, Cai Jingyao could still take advantage of the fact that Su Manman was Fu Huai’an’s cousin. She could just say that Su Manman had gotten the endorsement because of her blood relation with the company’s chairman. The public would then see her as the most innocent cannon fodder in the entire matter, and her popularity would also increase.

Hence, fighting for the endorsement deal with Su Manman was beneficial to Cai Jingyao either way.

Lu Jinbei was indeed her lucky star. With Lu Jinbei around… Cai Jingyao could always have her wishes fulfilled. Even if she lost something, what she’d get in return would still be thousands of times better than what she’d lost.

In the bathroom, Cai Jingyao was soaking in bubbles when she heard Lu Jinbei knock on the door and say that the food was ready…

Yes, ever since Cai Jingyao received the call about her having to compete with Su Manman, Cai Jingyao had declared that she would take care of herself in all aspects until the day of filming. She wanted to be able to compete in her best condition!

Hence, Lu Jinbei, who had always been the one pampered in the Lu family, had now taken the task of settling the household matters, including cooking!

Cai Jingyao had to lose a little weight in the next few days, so it wasn’t too hard for Lu Jinbei as he only had to make salads. He prepared it for Cai Jingyao based on the recipes he found online.

Cai Jingyao had merely made Lu Jinbei one dinner and one lunch, but Lu Jinbei intended to take care of Cai Jingyao wholeheartedly.
