Mr. He’s Daily Affections

Chapter 40: I Don’t Mind Giving You a Few More Slaps

Su Guoan looked at his younger daughter with pride. “Lianxi’s audition received praises from the director and producer! She is now the female lead of this grand production!”

Su Zhixi was taken aback.

So it turns out that there is good news? No wonder Su Lianxi appeared so magnanimous and said she would not argue over it with me.

Su Lianxi was a second-year student majoring in performing arts and had been looking for a chance to act. Now that she’d become the female lead of Director Chen Xuhua’s upcoming movie, she would definitely shoot to fame overnight. No wonder she was so pleased.

Su Lianxi smiled shyly, looked earnestly at her older sister, and said, “I still have to thank you. If not for you, I wouldn’t have met Director Chen.”

Su Zhixi tugged at her lips. “Is that so? I don’t mind giving you a few more slaps, so you don’t have to thank me.”

Lin Shuyue frowned immediately. “Zhixi, watch how you speak! I know that you just can’t bear to let your sister be better than you!”

Su Zhixi simply drank her water and ignored Lin Shuyue’s words, aggravating the older woman further.

“Zhixi, if your younger sister becomes promising in the future, you’ll benefit too.” Su Guoan rubbed his palms together.

“That’s right.” Su Lianxi leaned on Ning Yichen’s shoulder as she smiled sweetly. “If I get into the showbiz, I’ll definitely meet a lot of young and talented men. I’ll recommend them to you for sure.”

“No thanks. Just look after your man and that will do,” Su Zhixi replied, her nose tingling.

“Of course. I believe that Yichen will love me forever.” Su Lianxi looked at Ning Yichen with anticipation and hope in her eyes.

“That’s right!” He smiled and gently put his arm around her shoulders. “Back when I was lying on the bed in a comatose, I might never have woken up again. But you did not give up on me, so even if I betray anyone, I will never betray you!”

The moment he said that, the room fell silent. A look of uneasiness flashed across Su Lianxi’s eyes, but Ning Yichen did not see it.

She then smiled gently. “Yichen, you’re too good.”

Su Zhixi could not hold it in any longer and sneered.

Lin Shuyue flew into a rage. “Su Zhixi, what are you laughing at?!”

However, although she appeared threatening on the outside, the nervousness and fear in her eyes were evident.

She was, of course, nervous. Ning Yichen was convinced that the person who took care of him was Su Lianxi, but if Su Zhixi were to tell him the truth, the seed of doubt would be planted in the man’s heart.

That would be terrible.

Su Zhixi grinned as she shook the glass in her hand. “Since the water tasted good, I laughed. What’s the problem with me laughing?”

Lin Shuyue almost choked, but she contained her anger at the thought of maintaining her image in front of her future son-in-law.

Su Guoan immediately mediated the situation and said, “Let’s eat, let’s eat.”

Ning Yichen subconsciously shot a glance at Su Zhixi.

She dressed up simply today and tied her hair in a ponytail. It showed off her beautiful features, and that mocking smile on her face made her oddly charismatic.

His eyes darkened a bit.

He actually found her to be genuine and cute like this.

Although Su Lianxi was beautiful as well, she was always in the clothes and hairdo that suited her the best. Coupled with the most fitting smile, she looked just like an exquisite doll. Her voice was always gentle, and she was forever kind-hearted. For a moment, Ning Yichen felt that it was lacking something.

He wanted to see the real her, but she would not let herself act out of line in front of him.
