Chapter 411 - Too hungry to care (1/2)

Ryn sighed as she closed her eyes. She understood what her mother meant but until now she was still confused about how to tackle this problem.

She loved him. She loved being in a relationship with him. She loved to be cared for and loved by him. However, she hated being control by him. She hated when he did not discuss it with her fist and simply decided what she should or shouldn't do.

She needed more time. She really needed more time to think this over.

”Are you alright?” Mei Li asked when she noticed the sigh coming from Ryn.

”Hmm...” Ryn just sighed. Although she was confused about what to do, she did not share her thoughts. It would be better to think about this without the pressure from others.

Mei Li did not ask more. If Ryn did not want to tell her, it was no point to question more.

They reached the studio and Ryn got out of the car without waiting for Mei Li to shut off the engine. She stretched her arms without thinking and then rubbed her growling stomach. Ergh... so hungry.

”Let's go,” Ryn said once Mei Li got out of the car. She was praying for the crews to prepare something to eat. Just anything.

Mei Li grabbed her bag and followed Ryn. She blew out a relieved sigh when she noticed they were just right on time.

They were not late. Thankfully.

Ryn waited and let Mei Li leading the way. She was worried if she was walking in front, she would go straight to the food, forgetting to greet everyone.

”Good morning, everyone. Sorry for being late,” Mei Li apologized when they entered the studio. He went straight to the director and the representative from the brand with Ryn following behind her.

Ryn also went forward to greet and apologize. She introduced herself asked what was the theme of today's shooting and what she was expected to do. But she could not help from glancing around, looking for the food table. Where was it?

*~*~*~*

Jeremy followed his mother and grandmother into the jewelry shop famous for their jade jewelry. He stood behind them as the manager came greeting them politely.

”Where are the sets?” the Dowager asked.

The manager looked at Mrs. Long questioningly. He only knew about their coming here but he had no idea what type of jewelry they had in mind.

”Show us a set of Lavender Jade,” Mrs. Long said.

”Two sets,” the Dowager added as she thumped her cane loudly.

Jeremy looked at his grandmother wordlessly. Two sets of Jade? And this is not for engagement? It seemed like his family went all out for his future. He gave a grateful look at his mother but the woman did not even notice it. Her eyes were on the display racks, shining brightly to see so much beautiful jewelry on display.

Realizing that his presence was unneeded except as a driver, Jeremy went to sit on a chair and looked at the display. It was seconds before he took out his phone and stared at it.

Ryn, where are you?

He tried to contact her by sending her messages but again, she did not read or reply to any of them. He did not call her because he did not want his family to know about their argument.

He was so focused on his phone, he did not realize his mother and grandmother were already done with their purchase. He also did not notice the look of the other customers.

”Jeremy, what are you looking at your phone?” the Dowager called, thumping her cane close to his feet.

Jeremy snapped and looked at his grandmother. He coughed and cleared his throat to cover his shock and quickly stood up, ”Are you done, grandmother? Where are we going next?” he asked sheepishly.

”You're taking a day off today so don't think about your work. Here,” his mother handed the paper bag containing the jewelry they bought. Then, she held to her mother-in-law's arm as both walked to the exit. They did not even wait for Jeremy to follow them.
