From then on, the code name K became an international sensation, the spokesperson for being mysterious. Code name J was even more powerful—he was someone who could hack into all the satellites in the world. No one had found anything from digging out J’s past, and every country was wary of the hacker, J, for he could even hack into any nation’s military satellite, which was terrifying. Fortunately, he never took advantage of it. Or she.

“Doesn’t Mr. Best Actor know you are J, sis? Why isn’t now the right time?” Jack had always sounded frivolous when he talked, but he bore a solemn tone now.

“Too many eyes are on him lately.”

“Oh, well. I guess you should go back to him soon. If he gets possessive and acts up, I don’t think I can handle him.”

“Mhm.” Ning Xue fished out a black card from her bag and handed it to Jack. Her smile deepened. “Thanks for helping. Feel free to use the card.”

“Thanks, sis! Love ya!” Jack’s eyes darted back to the card, his eyes gleaming.

Meanwhile, when Jiang Sheng heard the word “love” coming from Jack, he was blinded by jealousy. He squeezed the lemon hard. He got up from his seat, striding towards Jack and Ning Xue.

“Let’s go.” Ning Xue passed Jiang Sheng her bag, which he grabbed without a second thought. His words got stuck in the lump in his throat, and he pulled her into his embrace. With her familiar scent filling his lungs, his mood brightened instantly.

“That gentleman had four glasses of lemonade and squeezed one of our lemons. Should you pay for his bill, sir?”

Jack was stunned. When he came to his senses, he cackled so hard that he almost fell off the chair. “Four glasses of lemonade? Haha! How jealous was he?”

“Sir?”

“I’ll pay.” Noticing that Jiang Sheng and Ning Xue hadn’t gone far, Jack chased after them with a cynical smile.

“Wait up! You don’t know how amazing you are. You’re my muse, my inspiration, my everything!” With deliberation, Jack shouted at the top of his lungs.

The pedestrians turned their heads around and murmured as they passed them. “Oh my god. He’s so good-looking. What’s he tryna declare against the couple?”

“The couple looks so cute together, though.”

“Wait, look! Isn’t that Jiang Sheng?”

“Jiang Sheng’s so recognizable with his height. And they do look alike.”

“Is she the one he’s marrying?”

…

Jiang Sheng was so mad that he threw a glare at Jack—he was supposed to be the one serenading his wife!

Before the stans could react by taking pictures of them, Ning Xue yanked Jiang Sheng into their car.

“Drive now.”

“Yes, my dear.”

After they got home, he held her close to his chest and whispered. “Honey, my stomach hurts.”

Ning Xue flinched. She touched his stomach and asked, “What did you have?” She was too occupied that she didn’t pay much attention to him in the restaurant.

Jiang Sheng pressed his lips against her cheek, answering with content, “Four glasses of lemonade.”

Ning Xue’s lips tightened into a line. “No one asked you to gulp all that acid down.”

“Ow, it hurts.” Jiang Sheng blinked and continued his act of playing weak, his voice soft.

Ning Xue couldn’t piece it together—he was big, but how was he this cute? That instant, all her irritation disappeared. “By the way, did your manager call today?” Logically speaking, bombarding calls should’ve been hurled on Jiang Sheng.

“Yeah. A hundred missed calls or so, I guess? I didn’t want her to annoy you. I gave her an explanation, and then I blocked her.”

“…”

“Don’t worry. It’ll be fine.”

Ning Xue fixed her gaze on the void. “You still have a few parts to shoot on set, right? I’ll come with you tomorrow.” If any of the higher-ups were to come looking for his trouble—

“Oh my god. It’s your first time offering to come to the set with me! I’m thrilled.” He gave her a smooch..
