C9 (2/2)

Afraid of encountering a lackey, Ling Xiaosu raised her hand to cover her face. If she and the heaven defying official were caught and made the headlines every few minutes, she would still want to live a comfortable life.

The heaven defying official led her to a luxurious western restaurant. After they sat down, a waiter came forward and asked, ”What would the two of you like to eat?”

The attendant's gaze was fixated on the Heaven Defying official. This was the first time she had seen such a handsome man, so she was unable to shift her gaze away from him.

”Leave it to my fiancée.” The heaven defying official said.

The moment his words came out, the waiter immediately revealed a disappointed expression. It turned out that she had a fiancée, ”Miss, may I ask what you would like to eat?”

”Two coffees first, half a pond.” ”One more serving of steak, eighty percent cooked. Also, boss, what do you want to eat?” Ling Xiaosu raised her head to look at the man in front of her. Even if she didn't say anything, she would still attract a lot of attention.

”It's good that you've decided. Whatever you order, I'll eat.”

Because of his words, Ling Xiaosu blushed as her heart beat faster. She ordered the same dish and passed it to the waiter. ”That's it, thank you.”

”Sure, please wait a moment.” The waiter took the menu, not forgetting to glance at the heaven defying official before he left.

Ling Xiaosu's heartbeat was still beating fast. She lowered her head, not knowing what to say. She clearly did not have such a bashful personality, so why was she so speechless in front of a heaven defying official?

”To the contrary.” Just as she wanted to express her gratitude, she was interrupted by a voice from the heaven-defying official.

”In the future, call me by my name.” His eyes were deep like a deep pool, making people unable to stop themselves from falling into it.

”Inverse, Tianchen.” Ling Xiaosu's tongue was tied. Although her previous relationship with the Heaven defying official was fake, he treated her well, and she could feel it.

”Thank you for your investment.”

The heaven defying official looked up at her, ”You're welcome, we are in a cooperative relationship. Your good movie is also beneficial to me.” He said so bluntly.

Ling Xiaosu was a little disappointed. She thought she was special to him, but she thought she was overthinking it.

”I know, I won't let you down.”

Ling Xiaosu took the screenplay to the teahouse. At noon, there were a lot of people eating there, so she went straight to the front desk. Mrs Ling was collecting money, but when she saw her, she quickly greeted her, ”Xiaoxiao is back. Have you eaten yet?”

”Mom, I've eaten.” Ling Xiaosu walked into the front desk and supported her mother's shoulders as she smiled, ”Mom, let me do it. You go eat.”

”Sigh, alright. ”Then I'll come over later.” Mother Ling lovingly patted the back of her hand, then turned around and walked out of the reception desk.

The customers waiting in line to pay couldn't wait any longer and shouted, ”What's going on? Still can't do business. ”

”Excuse me, sir, what would you like to order?” Ling Xiaosu smiled apologetically.

There were even more people today. Ling Xiaosu stood at the cashier's desk for two hours, her legs aching. She did not agree that Mother Ling would come and take her place until she was out of people.

Mother Ling poured her a cup of water and Ling Xiaosu took it, gulping it down.

Mother Ling took out a tissue and passed it to her, admonishing her, ”Slow down, it's not like anyone's going to fight you for it. Look, it's all spilled.”

Ling Xiaosu snickered as she took a tissue and wiped her mouth. She had more or less recovered, so she had to go check the script to see if there were any changes that needed to be made.

The heaven defying official wanted to hire a screenwriter. Since Ling Xiaosu said she could, she took over the job. She wanted to make a movie of her own.

When he went to get the script, he found it gone. The front desk was empty.

She anxiously looked around and asked Mother Ling, ”Mom, did you see the document I placed at the front desk?” A bag wrapped in a curry paper bag. ”

What if he lost it?
