The Lamborghini drove along the road heading toward the countryside.

Lu Yuan sat in the front passenger seat, smelling the faint scent of the Lamborghini. He looked out at the scenery that was passing by very quickly while feeling a hint of suppression in his heart.

Wang Jinxue kept on driving, her face still cold as ever.

It was very awkward.

Lu Yuan didn’t really like such feelings, but he had no idea what he should do to dissolve the awkwardness.

After all, Wang Jinxue was now giving off an intense disposition after going through one round of flaunting earlier.

It was so strong that Lu Yuan had been successfully suppressed, like a little sheep that was unable to break free.

Lu Yuan felt very complicated inside but was unable to describe his condition.

He thought of flaunting.

He wanted to flaunt.

He enjoyed flaunting.

But it was a pity…

He had been flaunted to.

This wasn’t an enjoyable process.

“Why are you going for a matchmaking session?” Just as Lu Yuan thought that the awkwardness would continue until he reached home, Wang Jinxue finally spoke up.

“My family arranged for it…” Lu Yuan held back the urge to smoke and looked at the scenery outside, replying.

“You shouldn’t be like this.” Wang Jinxue’s lips moved, paused for a moment, and then she shook her head. Her voice calmed down a little.

“You’re saying that I was wrong?” Lu Yuan smiled.

“There’s no right or wrong to these things, only suitable or not suitable…” Wang Jinxue shook her head. Although there were hints of coldness in her voice as usual, there was also a hint of complication in it.

“En.” Lu Yuan nodded and changed the conversation. “Why did you crash into her car?”

“I just felt that it was in the way and thus did that,” Wang Jinxue said calmly.

“You’re a little harsh.” Lu Yuan shook his head. “You’re wasting money like this.”

“Yes, but I let you recognize a fact. Women like these aren’t really worthy of you.” Wang Jinxue didn’t feel any heartache from the collision at all. She spoke very calmly.

“I know. I’m not a fool. You…”

“I don’t think that what I did was very excessive. I saw her acting arrogantly in front of you, as if she was very amazing, and I felt a little uncomfortable.” Wang Jinxue interrupted before Lu Yuan finished his words.

“I feel that your way of dissolving discomfort is very crude and shouldn’t be encouraged.” Lu Yuan shook his head. “Moreover, the person she was targeting was me, not you… And we are people with good dispositions.”

“Do you have anything to do with good dispositions? I’m not a violent person, but I’m protective of the people close to me. No one can bully them. At least, I can’t let you feel aggrieved when you’re filming the movie. Otherwise, what would happen if I were to lose money if the movie doesn’t come out well?” Wang Jinxue was very frank.

“I’ll film this movie well. I won’t disappoint you.” No matter how Lu Yuan looked at it, he felt that her words sounded a little intimate. Of course, he didn’t think too much into it.

“En, that’s good. Don’t be running off during the filming for other matchmaking sessions in the future.”

“I understand.” Lu Yuan nodded.

This matchmaking trip had destroyed all of his dreams toward matchmaking partners. Not only that, but he even felt a little upset.

Matchmaking…

It was too much of a scam.

“What are your plans from now on? I’ve been to the production crew. Wei Wuji said that the movie will only take about another week to complete.”

“Plans… I don’t have any plans.” Lu Yuan had wanted to share his intention of starting up a restaurant, but he didn’t.

He felt that if he were to say his goal now, it’d destroy the atmosphere.

It wasn’t a suitable thing to do.

“You aren’t planning to contract with any agencies or entertainment corporations?”

“I didn’t consider that.”

“Given your voice and talent, it’d be a waste to not sing.”

“It won’t be a waste. I actually don’t have much talent.”

“You didn’t sign your approval for the company’s business license, right?”

“En.” Lu Yuan opened his mouth, hesitated a little, and then nodded.

He knew that he couldn’t lie to Wang Jinxue successfully given how his lie had so many loopholes.

Wang Jinxue was a very smart person.

At the very least, she was a lot better than Lu Yuan in terms of being meticulous in observations and reasoning skills.

“Haha, how did I get cheated by you to invest one million back then…” Wang Jinxue smiled.

Her cold face was suddenly filled with smiles.

Wang Jinxue was very beautiful.

When she appeared cold, she would give off the disposition of a cold beauty. When she smiled, it’d be as if spring had come and the flowers were blooming, bringing warmth to one’s heart.

It seemed that she had two sides to her.

“I didn’t lie to you, I’m a very sincere person.” After hearing Wang Jinxue’s teasing, Lu Yuan finally took out his cigarettes and threw a glance at her.

“I said that no smoking is allowed in my car.”

“Alright. It’s just habitual.”

“I realize that you have a very strange trait.”

“What trait?”

“When you lie, your gaze looks very sincere. At the same time, your voice, tone, and actions, would all make you appear very trustworthy. It would be hard to pick out any flaws. You have improved quite a lot in this area, but…” Wang Jinxue paused a little.

“But what?”

“When you lie, you’ll take out your cigarettes to smoke. Moreover, you’ll pinch your cigarette with two fingers, appearing extremely showy and giving others the urge to beat you up!”

“…” Lu Yuan opened his mouth, suddenly feeling speechless.

This was the second time he heard the word ‘showy’.

Showy…

(Was this word something that is used to describe me?)

(Could it be that I’ll take out cigarettes when I’m trying to trick others?)

Lu Yuan gave it some thought.

It really did seem to be the case.

At the thought of this, he suddenly felt a little upset, speechless, and uncomfortable.

Wang Jinxue looked at how Lu Yuan had a strong urge to retaliate but couldn’t find the words to do so, and she immediately smiled.

She liked to see Lu Yuan look defeated.

She had no idea why.

It just felt very good.

This bastard!

To think that he’d abandon the production crew and go for a matchmaking session!

There must really be something wrong with his brain!

……

Wang Jinxue sat in the living room, with Lu Yuan’s mother attending to her.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan’s father pulled Lu Yuan into the room and listened to his confessions.

However, after Lu Yuan confessed some things, his father thought that he was dreaming.

“You’re saying that you’re a director?”

“En, yes.”

“Do you feel that I’m old and my brain can’t work anymore, so you can just come up with a random lie? You are a forestry graduate, yet you went to film a movie?”

“Dad, I don’t know how to explain things to you. I wrote a script, found an investor, and then shot a movie in Hengdian.”

“That girl is your sponsor?”

“En, yes. She’s the one who invested in the movie. She’s extremely rich.”

“You know movies?” Lu Yuan’s father stared at Lu Yuan dubiously, feeling that this son, whom he had watched him grow up since young, was weird.

He knew his son’s temperament very well, and because of that, he felt that this was very atrocious.

“To be honest, I don’t really know it… So I looked for an assistant director to film while I watch from the side and learn. I also give pointers to the actors and actresses in their acting skills… I’m very talented in arts-related stuff but had kept a low profile in the past, unwilling to reveal them. However, I no longer planned on concealing my talent anymore and decided to show it off.”

“You were an honest person in the past.” His father shook his head.

“I still am now.”

“Right now, you’re just a bastard who is full of gibberish. Look at your proud expression when you speak? You make me feel like giving you a thrashing! Who did you learn to smoke from? No one at home smoke like this.”

“…” After seeing his father’s expression, Lu Yuan felt a little aggrieved.

What did he say wrongly?

To think that he had been given a scolding…

“Alright, you can go. Don’t let the lady wait for too long.”

“Go?” Lu Yuan was stunned.

“I’m saying that you should go back to film your movie.”

“Oh, oh, then I’ll come back after filming the movie.”

“Don’t betray the lady’s trust, alright? You bastard. Why did a young lady with such good conditions get cheated by you?”

“What? What do you mean cheated? Dad, I’m telling you, I’m very sincere and my script isn’t bad either. I’m very outstanding!” Lu Yuan was speechless, not knowing what he should say when his father was looking at him as if he was trash.

(Am I such a scammer? Am I that bad? Please, I’m very outstanding!)

“Du du.”

“I’ll take a call.” Lu Yuan’s phone suddenly rang.

“Go on.”

“En.”

A few minutes later, Lu Yuan hung up and looked at his father, his gaze appearing a little strange.

“Dad…”

“What’s the matter?”

“If I were to tell you that someone very amazing wants to introduce me to his granddaughter, would you believe me? That…”

“What?” Lu Yuan’s father was stunned.

“That’s why I said that I’m very outstanding. People are all fighting over me!” Lu Yuan looked very sincere, but he gave off a sly appearance, as if his conceitedness had shot up all the way to the sky.
