After entering the bedroom, both of them then sat down on the bed. At this time, Jiang Yuning slowly placed her arms around Lu Jingzhi’s neck before she said in a gentle tone, “Second brother, you don’t have to use the word ‘confess’ when you are with me. You are Lu Jingzhi, the man that everyone admires and look up to. I do not want you to be so humble in front of me. I know that you would never do anything to hurt me or make me upset. Therefore, you can just tell me anything that you want to in future. Don’t tell me that you have a confession to make. That makes me feel bad.”
Lu Jingzhi patted her head gently and ran his fingers through her hair before he kissed her on the forehead. “I want to show you something.”
“Okay.”
Lu Jingzhi then took out his cell phone from his pocket before he opened the messages app on his cell phone. After opening one of the messages, he handed his cell phone over to Jiang Yuning.
Xu Beishen: “Brother Lu, I am already back in the country. Do you have time to meet up with me?”
Xu Beishen: “I secretly stole your contact number from my brother’s cell phone. Don’t blame my brother!”
Xu Beishen: “Can you give me a chance to get closer to you?”
Lu Jingzhi: “No. Please do not disturb me anymore. This is my contact number for work purposes only.”
Jiang Yuning could not help but laugh as she held onto her stomach. “Hahaha. Second brother, you really are incredible. I cannot believe that you could be so heartless and tell her that this is a work-only cell phone without a hint of any emotion at all...”
Lu Jingzhi could finally relax when he saw Jiang Yuning laughing after reading the messages. He leaned in closer to her and asked, “Is it really that funny to you?”
“Hahaha. It is really funny! Why didn’t you just reply that she has gotten the wrong number?”
“Are you not jealous?” Lu Jingzhi asked suspiciously.
Jiang Yuning stopped smiling before she tightened her arms around Lu Jingzhi’s neck again. She replied, “I am not jealous because I know very well that the only person in my husband’s heart is me. The only reason you even replied her at all is simply because she is Xu Liangzhou’s sister. Am I right?”
“Yes.”
“Second brother, I trust you and I also believe in myself. The two of us have finally gotten the chance to be together after so many years of trial and separation. I do not think that anyone would be able to break us apart so easily. Even if you fall in love with someone else one day...I will definitely do everything that I can to make sure that you fall in love with me again. So, that...”
“Impossible.” Lu Jingzhi interrupted Jiang Yuning before she could finish her sentence. He then rubbed his nose gently against her nose.
“What is impossible?”
“It is impossible for me to ever fall in love with anyone else. Therefore, if she ever tries to contact me again, I will simply tell her the truth—that I am already married and that I already have a Mrs. Lu in my life.”
Jiang Yuning felt extremely loved and warmth in her heart after listening to Lu Jingzhi’s affirmation.
“Okay then,” Jiang Yuning responded softly.
Second brother, why do you love me so much? What should I do?
Sometimes, Jiang Yuning would ask herself these questions because she did not know what she had done to deserve Lu Jingzhi’s unfading love and affection.
They both then started kissing naturally. After all, they were always so busy during the day and it was only at night that they could completely belong to one another.
...
A few days later, Vera arranged for a few of Jiang Yuning’s fans to go to the filming location to assist and get to know Jiang Yuning.
After receiving the news that they would be able to visit Jiang Yuning at her filming location, Xue Li immediately raised funds within the fan club in order to hold a fan support event at the filming location on the day of the visit. She wanted to thank the production crew for all their hard work, as well as to show them that Jiang Yuning was not a cub without any protection or support. That way, the production crew would take care of Jiang Yuning and treat her better.
On the day that Xue Li and her team were due to visit the filming location, Vera personally arranged for a driver to pick them up and drop them off at the filming location. She even asked the production crew for help in taking care of them.
Xue Li asked the driver to drive them to the filming location immediately and she even brought some posters of Jiang Yuning along with her.
Since the production team of <Mysteries of Heaven> had always kept Jiang Yuning’s status as the third female lead a secret and had never officially released any of Jiang Yuning’s stills, Xue Li edited some of Jiang Yuning’s personal photos and printed them out to make posters instead. This was because she did not want to put the production team in a difficult spot.
When the production team saw that Jiang Yuning’s fans were so thoughtful and sensible, they smiled before they patted Jiang Yuning on her shoulder and said, “Good job. You finally have your own group of fans here to support you.”
Jiang Yuning could only reply, “It has been really difficult for me to come this far.”
Moreover, the fans that she had now were fans who had switched alliances from her enemy’s fan club. This made it much more stressful for Jiang Yuning.
“Miss Jiang, you need to start shooting your scene soon. Why are you still standing there in a daze?” Director Shen Guobang yelled from his seat.
Jiang Yuning glanced at the small group of fan girls who had arrived before she quickly rushed over to the dressing room to get ready for her next scene.
...
Some of the other fan girls who accompanied Xue Li to the filming location were also veteran fans who used to support Qian Ge.
Although they had deep affection for Jiang Yuning now, the affection and loyalty that they felt had yet to exceed the level of affection that they had felt for Qian Ge in the past.
This was mainly because they did not think that Jiang Yuning had any acting skills at all.
This was also the main reason for which the young paparazzo had proposed this visit to Vera.
At this time, Jiang Yuning and Song Chenxing were filming a very intense and complicated scene.
Previously, Lin Guozhen had asked Lin Ping’er to break into the palace to rescue the crown prince from danger. However, Lin Ping’er refused to do so because she wanted to protect her family.
Now that the crown prince had successfully evaded the crisis, Lin Ping’er was found to be guilty of betraying the crown prince.
The scene today involved the confrontation between the two parties at the East Palace.
At this time, Jiang Yuning was wearing a female warrior outfit and she was on her knees as she faced the crown prince.
The crown prince paced back and forth before he finally crouched down in front of Lin Ping’er. He lifted her chin up forcefully before he asked, “Do you really think that I would not dare to lay my hands on you?”
Lin Ping’er looked at the crown prince with a sad expression on her face, as though she was mocking him. “I would not dare to think that.”
“Why wouldn’t you dare to? I thought that I could depend on the Lin family to remain loyal to the crown since your family has already served us for so many generations. However, I am utterly disappointed...”
“Crown prince, if you want to kill me, you can just kill me. Anyway, the blood of all eighty-seven members of the Lin family has already been spilled in front of the gates of the East Palace. What difference would it make if you killed me now?” Lin Ping’er shouted. “Even we risked our lives to protect the crown prince, the rest of the eighty-seven members of the Lin family would still be in danger. What difference would it have made then?”
The crown prince squeezed her face roughly in his hand before he pushed her away vigorously. “Your medical skills are not as sharp as your tongue.”
“Crown prince, that is a fallacy.”
“Then, this is the punishment that I am going to sentence you with. You will never be allowed to practice medicine or to be a doctor again. You are not allowed to step foot into a clinic or a medical facility. What is the point of you being alive if you can no longer save lives? I will arrange for you to be married off to one of the generals guarding the palace. The least you could do is to appease the generals,” the crown prince ordered in a ruthless manner as he pointed a finger at Lin Ping’er.
“I can just forget it if the crown prince is so ruthless to me. However, if the crown prince acts as ruthlessly towards my father one day, then...all the blood that the Lin family has spilled for the crown would be in vain...I will take my leave now,” Lin Ping’er replied, showing the stubbornness and courage in her character.
“Cut! Okay, we can move onto the next scene.”
As soon as the director shouted, Jiang Yuning and Song Chenxing quickly came out of the roles that they had been so engrossed in portraying.
Xue Li and the other fan girls who had watched the entire scene as they were standing amongst the production team, quietly retreated. They had successfully captured several beautiful photos of Jiang Yuning when she was filming her scene.
“Sister Xue Li, did we see wrongly? Our Sister Yuning...is actually pretty good at acting!”
Xue Li was deep in her own thoughts and she did not reply.
“Not only is her acting good, but it is also very natural and smooth. All the rumors that we have heard about Jiang Yuning do not seem to be true at all. She acted so well alongside Song Chenxing in the scene earlier!”
