Chapter 114: I Want to be Famous (4)

He had heard of sworn friends before, but sworn parents for a fat girl is...What kind of bizarre statement was that?

She balled her hands into a fist and hammered her chest. "Old Lu, wait for me to become better, stronger. From now on, not only will I work hard for the fat girl, but also for you."

Even though Lu Ting didn't know the deeper meaning of her words, he saw the firmness in her eyes that she wanted to protect both him and their daughter.

Seemingly having felt something in his heart, Lu Ting stared at her glimmering eyes and whispered, "Lin Yueqi, the way you look when you're working hard is really attractive."

Lin Yueqi showed him a toothy grin. "Wow, Old Lu, are you so romantic when you compliment people too? Don't keep looking at me with that seductive gaze. My mind is sober, I may not marry you in the future. I want to marry for love, and the one I marry must be someone I sincerely like. Otherwise, it's not fair for either of you. You know what I mean, don't you, Old Lu?"

Lu Ting nodded. "Yeah." It seemed like what he saw earlier was just an illusion. This girl had no intention to protect him at all.

The man felt a little sullen inside.

Seeing that he understood, Lin Yueqi breathed out a sigh of relief and held her chest. Her gaze seemed to be focused on a faraway place. "Because, love is something that can overcome all difficulties."

Lin Yueqi seemed to be hinting something with her words.

Lu Ting fell silent. Completely silent.

Lin Yueqi then asked, "What's wrong with you, Old Lu?"

As if Lu Ting had received a great shock, his eyes suddenly turned red. The extremely fast rate in his demeanor scared Lin Yueqi so much that she shrunk back while holding her chest in fright. "Wow, what happened to you, Old Lu?"

The man looked like a big tiger that received a major blow.

Lin Yueqi watched the man leave the study, face still confused. Was it something she said?

All she wanted to do was to tell Lu Ting to wait until they developed their feelings before getting married, so why was he so angry? Unless...Could it be? A domineering president type like Lu Ting didn't need love?

Fine then, she just won't mention it in the future.

...

Lu Ting went back to his room, his heart feeling suffocated. Snowflakes were falling outside the window, but he took a cold shower.

When he came out, he still felt stuffy. After struggling a bit, he sent a WeChat message to Li Xing:

"I think she's in love with someone else."

"..." After sending over a few dots, Li Xing wrote, "Hahahahahahaa hahaha you're gonna fucking kill me with laughter ahahahahahaha, you go too far with your corny flirting again? You got her sick of you didn't you? Hahahahahahaha."

Only

Faced with the relentless ridicule of his friend, Lu Ting's moodiness deepened.

Lu Ting coughed and calmed his emotions down before offering some sincere advice. "Our company has a reality show called 'Sweet Family Trip', what do you think? Wanna participate with your gal and kid? I'll have the writers write you the manliest script ever. Your girl will be just in time for 'Fat Girl Mama' after the show."

Lu Ting, "...?"

Li Xing, "No? Forget it then. Pretend I never said anything. Plenty of people are asking but I don't even give them the chance!"

Lu Ting, "Alright."

When he saw the word appear on his screen, Li Xing could somehow feel the grievances of his old buddy Lu. How hard is it for him to chase after a girl? Seriously, to push a proper overbearing president into this.

A week later, Lin Yueqi, Lu Ting, and Tuantuan entered the set for "Sweet Family Trip". There were a total of four groups of families participating in the show, all in groups of 2 parents and 1 adorable child. Each group is paired with one of the reality show's writers and they had to act based on the script for the show effect.
