Chapitre 54: Sister-in-law

The next morning.

After Ning Xi left, an uneasy Lu Tingxiao gave Lu Jingli a call.

"Send someone on set."

"Bro, are you worried someone’s bullying Sister-in-law? This is something anyone who wants to become a star has to go through, it’ll make her tougher! If she doesn’t experience this for herself, she’ll never be able to stand on her own!" Lu Jingli used the same tone Lu Tingxiao would take when he was lecturing someone.

Lu Tingxiao: "She doesn't need those."— meaning, he would be the one to protect her.

Lu Jingli: "…" Hehe.

Lu Jingli’s heart was desolate at his brother’s biased treatment.

Last year without saying a word you threw me into the mess that was Glory World, and wouldn’t even let anyone help me.

"OK OK, I’ll arrange for someone to be on set to make sure not even a single strand of her hair is harmed!"

"You can take a week off next month," Lu Tingxiao suddenly said.

"Huh… bro, what did you say?" Lu Jingli couldn't believe his ears. "You’re letting me take time off, and it’s even a whole week? You haven’t let me take leave in three years!"

"Don't want it?"

"Want, want, want! Of course I want it! But… why are you suddenly treating me so well?" Lu Jingli didn't understand, and tried to recall their earlier conversation.

Finally, he realized: it was all because of that word — Sister-in-law.

Just because he had called Ning Xi Sister-in-law?

This break was making him both happy and sad.

"Eldest Young Master, Doctor Qin is here." The maid’s voice came from outside the study.

A slim man in a simple suit was standing next to the maid; he had a gentle look and a warm smiles, and seemed a very pleasant person.

Lu Tingxiao hung up the phone and turned to the visitor. "You’re here, have a seat."

Qin Mufeng put his bag down and sat on the sofa. "What is it? Is Little Treasure not feeling well?"

"You can see for yourself, he’s in the kitchen," Lu Tingxiao answered.

"Kitchen?" Qin Mufeng lifted an eyebrow, and then headed to the kitchen.

A moment later, Qin Mufeng came back smiling. "When did Little Treasure pick up juicing as a hobby? Also, he seems happy! Did something happened?"

"Something did happen recently. A few days ago, I was too busy to look after Little Treasure, and then Jingli took him to a bar without my knowing…"

Lu Tingxiao explained the situation to the doctor simply.

Qin Mufeng’s face changed as he listened to Lu Tingxiao, and in the end, he said happily, "Something good came out of abad situation for Little Treasure! I’ve mentioned before, he’s too uninterested in everything; something that interests or motivates him is good for his recovery.What’s more, this is a living person! You didn’t have that girl stay on as Little Treasure’s nanny or tutor?"

Lu Tingxiao: "Because she is Little Treasure’s future mother."

"Cough cough cough…" Seeing Lu Tingxiao’s expressionless face, Qin Mufeng was astonished. "What did you say? Are you doing this for Little Treaure, or for yourself…"

The cold expression on Lu Tingxiao’s face melted slightly. He looked outthe window and said, "Doctor Qin, I think your previous conclusions were correct."

"You… you’ve fallen in love with this girl?" Qin Mufeng got very excited. "I knew I was right! How could you be an asexual! Tell me more, when you see her, does your heart speed up and your blood boil? Does it make you want to get closer to her and make love to her?"

Lu Tingxiao thought about it for a bit, and said, "That’s basically correct!"


Chapitre 55: Everybody Wants to Teach Him How to Chase Girls

He had once asked Qin Mufeng how it felt to really like someone; Qin Mufeng had told him that he would know when he met that person.

Back then, he had thought it was such rubbish.

After meeting Ning Xi, he realized it was all true.

"Congrats! So many asexuals may their entire lives never meet the one for them!" Qin Mufeng congratulated his old friend wholeheartedly.

Asides from heterosexuals and homosexuals, in this world, there are also asexuals.

Asexuality is not an illness and does not mean an unclear sexual orientation or fear of intimacy; to put it simply, it was "a lack of interest in sex."

Because of this affliction, his mother had even urged Lu Jingli five years ago to drug his own brother…

"This must be what they call a double blessing. So when do I get to drink your wedding wine?" Qin Mufeng teased.

"I’m working on it." Lu Tingxiao, who always seemed invincible, had rare uncertainty on his face.

Qin Mufeng was shocked. "It actually still hasn’t happened? I thought Big CEO Lu would have had it in the bag by now. Well, a girl able to catch your interest must be quite something. So is the reason you asked me to come over this time to teach you how to chase girls? While I can’t compare with Second Master in practice, I'm pretty good with theory!"

Why did everyone want to teach him how to chase girls?

Lu Tingxiao’s face darkened. "Don’t bother with that, I wanted to confirm the effect of her appearance on Little Treasure, that’s all."

Qin Mufeng returned to the real issue after joking around. "It’s like this, there are two sides to everything; it could be good for him, but you told me Little Treasure thrashed the house in order to see her, so most of it depends on your guidance.

Whether it was out of selfishness or not, having her stay in the house for the time being was the right thing to do. I would suggest the next step to take is to ask that girl if she can take Little Treasure out more, perhaps even take him to school when the time is right, and slowly ease him into a normal life. She might be able to do what I couldn’t even after 2 years…"

"I understand, I’ll try."

...

Studio backlot.

All the whispering stopped as soon as Ning Xi walked onto the set; everybody was looking at her.

Obviously, the gossip had spread.

In one corner, someone spoke in a weird tone, "Who does she think she is, a rookie like her arriving late; doesn’t she see how Teacher Ning was early to arrive?"

Actually, Ning Xi wasn't late at all, it was Ning Xueluo who was early.

"Teacher Ning, you and Ning Xi are in the same company, is the gossip online true?"

"People say that she slept her way up through the production team to get this role!"

"Shameless! Doesn’t Starlight Entertainment care about this kind of unfair competition?"

…  

Faced with the crew’s barrage of questions, Ning Xueluo put on a helpless face and sighed. "Everyone has his or her own way, the company won’t say anything…"

After saying that, she appeared to suddenly realize she had said something wrong, and quickly continued, "I’m not saying Junior Sister really did those things, online gossip is not creditable!"

The way she said it made it sound like she was trying to cover up something, which made the crew think it had to be real.

It was only after Director Guo came over and urged everyone to hurry up and start work that the gossipy crowd finally left.

The helpless look on Ning Xueluo’s face also disappeared, and she called her assistant to her side and asked in a low tone, "How did it go?"

"Don’t worry, Sister Xueluo, it’s all set! You told me she’s allergic to metallic things, right? I put metallic power in the makeup artist’s kit without anyone noticing. When she puts it on, her whole face will be ruined…"
