Xiaopujie [entertainment circle]

Xu Qiang's words made Xiao Lu froze.

——Relying on the fact that I like you?

That's right, Xu Qiang has just the right amount of concern for her, as well as teasing her with ease, all of which explain her attitude.

How could Xiao Lu not know?She is a sensitive person, and she is very good at even deceiving herself.

She froze for only a few seconds, and quickly found her voice, which was colder than ice in summer.

Xu Qiang heard her whisper, "I don't need your liking."

Xu Qiang burst out laughing immediately, and immediately stopped smiling. She knew it was inappropriate, but she couldn't control herself for a while.

Based on Xu Qiang's understanding of Xiao Lu, she will never have only this sentence. This is just the beginning, and there are countless emotions waiting for her behind it.

Sometimes, Xu Qiang even hated herself for being smart.

Even though Xiao Lu has rich experience, she is still young and immature. She can see through her with just one glance.

Xu Qiang withdrew her own advantages, kept slowing down the rhythm, wanted to dance with Xiao Lu, but always showed her sincerity at inadvertent moments, forcing Xiao Lu to nowhere to retreat.

Just like now.

She casually lifted her curly hair, her face makeup was not faded, making people feel calm and elegant, while Xiao Lu, who was glaring at her, showed a kind of weakness and sadness.

Xiao Lu used to be deeply infatuated with her appearance, but now she just feels annoyed.

Who doesn't know that your armor is hard, you put on a high posture, and want me to retreat?

Xiao Lu grabbed Xu Qiang's hand and put it on her face, her expression even showed a charming look.

"Look into my eyes," she smiled charmingly, "can't you see that I like you?"

Xu Qiang shook her head: "You're just infatuated with me."

Xiao Lu used to be her fan, even though there was no interaction at that time, Xiao Lu's fascination with her could not be erased.

After moving into the small villa, Xiao Lu was shy and excited, unable to resist her temptation, so concerned about her new movie that she even watched the live broadcast every time, saying that this was not a star-chasing obsession, Xu Qiang refused to believe it.

She was wishful thinking, she couldn't see Xiao Lu's changes, she just felt that she was always reaching out to Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu took a step forward and took a step back, and finally she was still spinning around in place.

Xu Qiang is busy with work, so she can forget her troubles by being immersed in her career, but as long as she has a few minutes to spare, these thoughts are all-pervasive, entangled in her thinking.

Xu Qiang looked at Xiao Lu who was close at hand, and she had the capital to be willful to herself.

But what if it was Xu Qiang versus Xiao Lu?

Since Xu Qiang left home, she has tasted thousands of loves and affections, and she can no longer bear the embarrassment of being hot.

The frightening thing was that she didn't dare to ask, and the tip of her tongue went around a thousand times, but it couldn't overcome Xiao Lu's fear that she might turn around and leave.

Love makes people weak and impotent, Xu Qiang finally understood this simple truth.

Xu Qiang dared to withdraw from her marriage, to draw a line with her family, to play games in the world, and to quit the circle at the risk of having no more movies to make. She dared to do these things. She thought her armor was strong and invincible.

It's a pity that no amount of courage can match Xiao Lu's eyes.

Xiao Lu looked at her with disappointment in her heart and eyes: "I used to be just infatuated, but what kind of liking I am now, don't you understand?"

Her disappointment was so strong that Xu Qiang was suffocated.

Xiao Lu said: "It's you, who has always been able to do things with ease... Let me ask you, are you not flirting with me casually, just want to be ambiguous?"

"I'm not," Xu Qiang suddenly felt tired, "You won't like me who is weak."

Xiao Lu asked, "How do you know I won't like it?"

Xu Qiang was silent, she had indeed been guessing Xiao Lu with her own heart, and could not refute it.

Seeing that she was silent, Xiao Lu continued, "Don't talk about that, I only have one question. Do you really only have commercial considerations for me?"

Xu Qiang answered quickly: "No."

After a while, Xu Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and said, "That's why you are here?"

Xiao Lu's heart that had just fallen was suspended again, she stood up angrily, cleaned up the mess on the coffee table, and went to the kitchen without looking back.

Xu Qiang looked at her back and was finally sure.

She was probably scared.

Xu Qiang held the confidence to move forward, and it was really difficult to understand Xiao Lu's cautiousness.

Likes and dislikes are originally multiple-choice questions, but the mixing of interests makes them complicated.

Xu Qiang stood up and walked to the kitchen. Xiao Lu stood in front of the cooking counter, poured herself a glass of milk, and drank it in anger.

She hugged Xiao Lu's thin back, feeling that her body was stiff and still trembling slightly.

"sorry."

Xu Qiang whispered in her ear:

"I regret."

"Regret what?" Xiao Lu was still furious, her words were stinging, "Regret that you like me?"

"It's not this." Xu Qiang ignored her struggle, but hugged her even tighter, "I regret that I didn't find a publicist in the first place, and let this matter ferment to this point."

He even regretted that he was cynical and misunderstood Xiao Lu, and also regretted that he was not confident enough and ignored Xiao Lu's changes.

Xu Qiang lowered her head, only feeling that her heart softened.

Xiao Lu said, "I didn't blame you."

She put down the milk glass, no longer deflecting her anger on it.

Xu Qiang: "I'm not running away."

Xiao Lu relaxed, pointed to the living room, and said, "It's not your responsibility, it's our business."

about the two of us.

Xu Qiang's heart skipped a beat. After talking so much and thinking for so long, she didn't know what was wrong with her until now.

She wants to control the whole situation too much, which makes people uncomfortable.

Filled with guilt, she sat in the living room with Xiao Lu again, watched Xiao Lu turn on the TV, and randomly found a singing show as the background sound.

Xiao Lu spoke first: "Don't mention this matter, leave it to Chen Wu and Qian Ying, how about it?"

She stepped back and didn't dwell on the matter any longer.

Xu Qiang nodded and said, "No problem."

She paused for a few seconds and asked Xiao Lu: "I'm going to M school for further study next week, are you coming to visit?"

Xu Qiang invited her without any hope. Ever since Chen Wu and Qian Ying started sharing their itineraries in the group, she found that Xiao Lu was surprisingly busy.

Leaving aside the previous works, Xiao Lu's latest web serialization has just finished the publishing process, and the promotion period will begin soon. There are many signings and sales. How can I have time to visit her and read?

Xu Qiang's proposal to Xiao Lu was just to extinguish the little hope in her heart.

You have to be rejected for everything before you give up completely.

Sure enough, Xiao Lu shook her head and replied, "I've been busy recently... You've seen the form sent by Qian Ying, and I really don't have time to play."

She was half complaining, half sincere.

Xu Qiang had already thought of her answer, but looking at her somewhat tangled expression, the extinguished flame was ready to move again.

Xu Qiang said, "Why don't you ask Qian Ying if you can adjust it?"

The itinerary cannot always be static, she stared at Xiao Lu with burning eyes.

Xiao Lu was obviously taken aback for a moment, and said, "Well... I have a book that will be published soon, and it's already in the printing press."

Xu Qiang's words have already been spoken, and she will not compromise easily: "It will be fine in a week."

Her eyes were so intense that Xiao Lu couldn't help but say, "Then I'll ask Qian Ying..."

Xu Qiang immediately jumped up, with a smile on her face, she compared to Xiao Lu and asked her to call.

Xiao Lu shook her head dumbfounded, and walked towards the balcony with her mobile phone.

Xu Qiang felt embarrassed, ashamed of the joy she couldn't hide.

Xiao Lu went to make a call, and Xu Qiang also picked up the phone to see if there was any new news.

Seeing this, her heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

On Xu Qiang's cell phone, there was an entire row of missed calls, all from one number.

She threw the phone on the sofa. Although there was no caller ID, Xu Qiang didn't need to think about such a crazy person, she knew it was someone from the Xu family.

As for whether this person was the third aunt or the seventh uncle, Xu Qiang didn't want to talk to him anyway.

They called and nothing good ever happened.

The last time Xu Qiang accidentally answered a phone call from a cousin with whom she had always been at odds, and said braggingly that she was engaged to the son who Xu Qiang divorced.

The cousin sister invited her to the engagement banquet, saying that she had already sent her an invitation.

Why didn't Xu Qiang know that she wanted to see a joke?Because I want to make a movie to draw a clear line between my family and the business circle in Yecheng, I can chew my tongue for ten years and provide talking points for the ladies who have nothing to do.

Reluctantly, she was sharp-tongued, and said, "Invite your fiancé's ex-girlfriend? You really have an idea", which made her cousin and sister speechless.

From then on, Xu Qiang never answered calls from strangers, and even blacklisted these people, and put them in her work phone, letting her assistant handle things.

Now it's all right, once the contract with the company is terminated, all these shitty things can be directly in front of her.

Xu Qiang looked at the calendar, and the new assistant would take four or five days to arrive.

The screen of the mobile phone is bright and dark, and it is annoying to watch.

Xu Qiang turned her head sideways, turned her eyes and stared at the balcony.

The glass door on the balcony was closed tightly, only Xiao Lu's back could be seen.

The discussion between her and Qian Ying seemed to be quite smooth, and she always looked relaxed and casual. She made a few gestures occasionally, and she seemed to have a good relationship.

Xu Qiang was a little envious.She and Chen Wu have always been in a business relationship, Chen Wu is always profit-oriented to her, and the professional style of a gold medal agent is fully displayed, but it is a pity that Xu Qiang occasionally shows weakness to her, and often reprimands her.

As for talking to others?Xu Qiang touched her nose, feeling that she had a little relationship with others.

All these years, she was just Wen Li's close friend.

How could Xu Qiang be ignorant of Wen Li's thoughts?She couldn't lie to herself.

Wen Li's friendship mixed with envy, Xu Qiang struggled to draw the boundary between them, but it was always broken at certain moments.

She should have stopped hanging out with Wen Li a long time ago, but she searched through the address book and found out that there were all friends with wine and meat, and finally she would press the familiar number.

Xu Qiang didn't think she was innocent, and she couldn't control Wen Li's thoughts.Wen Li is a sensible adult, even more mature than her, Xu Qiang can only tell herself time and time again to make up her mind, and finally finds that she is only greedy for the warmth of friendship.

How could Xiao Lu manage to chat and joke with the editor?

Is she such a good communicator?Xu Qiang remembered that when she first arrived at the small villa, she couldn't say a word to herself.

Although Xu Qiang doesn't want to talk to others, but she has always had fun, so she doesn't quite understand this kind of shyness.

At the beginning, she thought that Xiao Lu was not good at communicating, but now she felt that Xiao Lu might know how to get along better than herself.

Xiao Lu finalized the issue of the publicity period with Qian Ying in a few words, and chatted with Qian Ying about some trivial matters before hanging up the phone.

As soon as she came out from the balcony, she saw Xu Qiang staring at her.

Xiao Lu touched her face and said, "I made an agreement with Qian Ying to postpone it for a week...why do you look at me like that?"

Xu Qiang said, "Look at your good looks."

Xiao Lu retorted: "Then you look in the mirror, you look better."

Xu Qiang spread her hands and said, "Just kidding."

Xiao Lu threw the phone on the coffee table, looked down at Xu Qiang, and said, "I don't like it."

Xu Qiang raised her eyebrows: "You just need to like me."

Xiao Lu said, "Will you die if you don't tease me?"

Xu Qiang died without repentance: "Then how do you molested you?"

Xiao Lu felt that she was about to get angry again, before she got angry, she stretched out her hand and gently pushed Xu Qiang's shoulder.

Xiao Lu was standing, and Xu Qiang was sitting on the sofa. She pushed Xu Qiang's shoulder like this, and Xu Qiang fell on the back of the sofa.

Xiao Lu took a step forward, knelt on her lap, and looked down at her.

Xu Qiang had to raise her head to see Xiao Lu's expression.

She has never seen Xiao Lu's eyes before, it seems to be a calm sea, but there are turbulent waves hidden in it.

Xu Qiang was startled, not knowing what she wanted to do.

She is sure that no matter what Xiao Lu wants to do now, she has no ability to stop it.

Under Xiao Lu's gaze, Xu Qiang only felt that she was soft from her back to her fingertips.

Her cell phone was still dimly lit in the corner, but she had no time to pay attention.

Any relatives, any troubles, any fights...all disappeared from Xu Qiang's mind, and now she can only see Xiao Lu's eyes.

A pair of intoxicating eyes, the amber pupils are as charming as the spring breeze.

Xiao Lu looked at her steadfastly, and Xu Qiang's weakness could be seen in all his eyes.

In the next second, a lingering kiss landed on Xu Qiang's lips, she just tasted it lightly, stroked the corner of her lips, and it ended quickly.

Xiao Lu said, "You owe me."

She meant something, and she was talking about the live broadcast that day.

The low pressure on Xiao Lu's body disappeared, Xu Qiang relaxed, and repeated the trick: "I can pay you back a little more."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Lu lowered her head again, her eyes dimmed, and she asked, "A little more?"

Xu Qiang faltered for a second, and quickly replied, "No, no, no, that's pretty good."

Xiao Lu finally let go of her, flicked her hand, and said, "What's the point of you insisting on taking advantage of that little advantage?"

Xu Qiang put on an aggrieved expression and said, "Interesting."

Xiao Lu squinted at her, glanced at her persistent cell phone out of the corner of her eye, picked it up and threw it to her, saying, "Your phone."

Xu Qiang picked up a hot potato out of the blue, and the phone number was still on the screen.

She will not be able to explain these twists and turns to Xiao Lu for a while, and coupled with the current atmosphere, it is really not suitable to talk about these spoiled parents.

Xu Qiang bit the bullet and picked up the phone when she heard a long-lost voice.

The man's voice was a little more mature than a few years ago, and the lingering arrogance was also hidden. He asked Xu Qiang obediently: "Sister, how are you?"

Xu Qiang sneered, "Xu Yi, speak up."

Xu Yi was choked up bluntly, and no longer tried to hide it, he said, "My sister is outside alone, don't cause trouble for the family."

Xiao Lu cast curious eyes and saw that Xu Qiang's expression was wrong, so she stood up with an excuse to leave room for Xu Qiang.

She already knew that the caller was not friendly, probably because of this, Xu Qiang was unwilling to answer.

As soon as Xiao Lu left, Xu Qiang suddenly spoke sharply.

"Isn't my biggest trouble already gone? Why? It's not that you are pestering me?"

Across a telephone line, Xu Yi could imagine Xu Qiang's expression.

His outstanding sister since childhood has always been a nightmare for him.

The more Xu Qiang laughed at himself, the harder it was to maintain his fragile self-esteem.

Xu Yi gritted his teeth and conveyed his father's wishes: "Your scandal has spread to the family, and everyone thinks your face is ugly. I hope you can control it."

Xu Qiang looked calm and said, "Thank you for your concern."

Her heart tightened.

Xu Yi was just a mouthpiece, saying: "Father means, if you are willing to come back, the family will not treat you badly."

Xu Qiang rolled her eyes, didn't she know what her father looked like?

She remained polite and said, "Thank you for your kindness."

After all, Xu Qiang hung up the phone neatly, completely ignoring the mood of Xu Yi over there.

Before, she lived under the same roof with Xu Yi, and she knew how to make her little brother, who was covered in embroidered pillows, jump.

Xu Qiang hung up the phone, and Xiao Lu slowly moved into the living room.

Seeing her come in, Xu Qiang forced a smile and said, "What do you say to Qian Ying?"

Didn't you just say this?Xiao Lu was surprised, and replied, "I agree to postpone it for a week."

Xu Qiang rubbed the center of her brows, looking very worried, Xiao Lu couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

"Uh..." Xu Qiang considered her words, "Something has changed, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave me."

Xiao Lu looked at her strangely and said, "What did you say?"

Xu Qiang realized that what she said was indeed easy to be misunderstood, so she hurriedly corrected: "I mean, you'd better act together with me. I'll talk to Qian Ying about your itinerary and see if we can unify."

"Ah?" Xiao Lu was very surprised.

It was just a phone call, why did they suddenly have to unify the itinerary?

They are just a little ambiguous now, as for going in and out together?

The confusion on Xiao Lu's face was so obvious that Xu Qiang had no choice but to explain.

Xu Qiang said: "The previous call was made by my younger brother, Xu Yi, you read it in the "Financial Daily", he is the successor of the Xu Group."

Xiao Lu nodded, indicating that she had an impression.

Xu Qiang said: "The news about the two of us has spread to my family. My father is not satisfied with it. It may threaten your safety. To be on the safe side, you..."

"Wait," Xiao Lu interrupted her, "What's the matter between us? Your father threatens my safety, why?"

Xu Qiang said: "It was my negligence. The story of CP was widely spread. I thought they would know about it for a while..."

Xiao Lu asked: "So you knew that I had something to do with you, and my life was in danger?"

Xu Qiang lowered her head and said, "Yes... I was lucky, I didn't expect it to be so fast."

Xiao Lu laughed mockingly. She couldn't see the tenderness when she kissed Xu Qiang just now, only the deep coldness remained. She stroked Xu Qiang's hand and said, "Is there such a thing in modern society? You made me think I was She's the heroine of a martial arts novel, and she's going to have a showdown with the lord."

Xu Qiang once again experienced her poisonous tongue and was completely unable to resist.

She can pinch Xu Yi's pulse four or two times, but she can't do anything about Xiao Lu.

Xiao Lu said: "Then what do you mean now, I give up the publicity period and go to Europe with you for further study?"

Xu Qiang really had such an idea, but when Xiao Lu said it so loudly, she was overwhelmed by guilt and shame for a while, and was speechless for a long time.

Xiao Lu said: "Impossible, Qian Ying will not agree."

She thought it would be nice to visit with Xu Qiang for a week, just to relax and organize her thoughts, but Xiao Lu thought it would be nonsense to give up the entire promotion period.

Xu Qiang sighed weakly, and patted Xiao Lu's shoulder: "Listen to me, okay?"

Xiao Lu straightened her back and sat upright.

Xu Qiang said: "I can help you negotiate with Qian Ying, compensate for losses or cooperate with publicity, there is no problem."

Xiao Lu smiled sarcastically, wondering if this is what I want?I wrote so many unsellable books, did I care?I didn't write a book to draw on these, you really can't get the point.

Xu Qiang subdued the strangeness in her heart and said, "I don't want to restrict you, but my father...he's not joking."

Xiao Lu said: "He can order your film, I know he is not an ordinary person."

Xu Qiang said: "He has done this kind of thing before. Except for the young man he arranged for, he will mess with everyone else, no matter male or female."

Xiao Lu keenly grasped the point, and said with a smile, "Whether male or female? You have a lot of experience."

Xu Qiang sweated for herself, and said, "Didn't I not believe in evil before? If there is no more than a month, if I don't leave, they should be injured and sick."

Xiao Lu still had that sarcastic look, and said, "Oh? How many?"

Xu Qiang frowned, too nervous to speak: "Uh..."

Seeing her like this, Xiao Lu suddenly smiled, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "It's okay, I'm just teasing you."

Xu Qiang glanced at her with a hint of sadness in her eyes, and said, "So, I think it's better for you to come with me..."

Xiao Lu waved her hand and said, "Come on, just a week, I'll be fine."

There was fearlessness in Xiao Lu's eyes, and Xu Qiang was instantly stunned.

She had never seen such an expression in the eyes of others, regardless of age experience, regardless of wealth status, among the people Xu Qiang mentioned this matter, no one had ever had such fearlessness.

Xu Qiang said, "I'm worried about you."

Xiao Lu gave a half-smile and said, "You should worry about yourself first."

Xiao Lu really didn't care. On the one hand, it was rare for her to go out, and when she went out, there were a lot of people. Could Xu Qiang's father set fire to Xu Qiang's house, or could he stab Xu Qiang on the street?

In modern society, Xiao Lu is quite at ease about her own safety.

If something happened, Xiao Lu didn't care.

Live or die, it makes no difference to her.

at most……

She glanced at Xu Qiang.

At most, a few seconds before he died, thinking of Xu Qiang, I'm afraid I still feel a little bit reluctant.

Xiao Lu threw this thought out of her mind and gave Xu Qiang an ultimatum.

"I'm only going with you for a week."

Xu Qiang stared at her blankly, then nodded involuntarily.

She didn't know where Xiao Lu's fearless confidence came from, and she didn't know that Xiao Lu's frozen heart was only beating for her now.

Xu Qiang heard Xiao Lu talk about the past, but she really didn't understand that after facing death and collapse, Xiao Lu had no fear of it.

She was only afraid of being alive, of the possible injuries in her long life, which would knock her down again.

Life and death are so complex that a galaxy is drawn between Xu Qiang and Xiao Lu.

Xu Qiang was defeated by her firm eyes, agreed to her request to only go for a week, and silently wrote down two things in her heart.

Find a suitable security company for Xiao Lu, and get a team of people to protect her around the clock.

Ask Chen Wu to pay more attention to the network dynamics, and Xu Qiang is very clear about what the Xu family can do.

If there is a time to tear your face apart again, what tricks can't be used?As long as Xu Qiang could be forced to give in, Xu Yi never took trouble.

Xiao Lu didn't know these details. Seeing that she agreed, she planned to go upstairs, but stopped after walking a few steps.

She always felt something was wrong, so she asked Xu Qiang bluntly:

"Why? Why do both men and women interfere?"

Xu Qiang smiled helplessly, and said, "Unless he sells me with his own hands, he won't let me get married. Marriage means that I will hold public opinion and grab property openly."

With a bit of self-deprecation, she said, "The old man wants to leave everything to his precious son."

Patriarchal, Xiao Lu has seen a lot, nodded, sat beside her, and patted her on the back as comfort.

Xu Qiang was so happy to make her think that the story behind it was complicated and troublesome, so it would be better to have a simple explanation.

Xiao Lu asked, "Why don't you get married?"

Xu Qiang said: "Of course there is no problem. It is best to die alone and find a girl to embarrass the family."

Her tone was mocking, Xiao Lu could almost think of the occasion when Xu Qiang heard these words.

Maybe it was a happy reunion occasion, the relatives looked at her carefully, but Xu Qiang's father stabbed her with a sharp knife indifferently.

Xiao Lu was silent, and only half-paid said: "I won't cause you any trouble."

"How could it be?" Xu Qiang embraced her, pretending to be relaxed and said with a smile, "It's good that you don't dislike me."

Xiao Lu broke free from her and said, "In this case, let's keep a low profile."

She lowered her head and made her request to Xu Qiang again, saying, "Live broadcast and so on, don't mention me a little bit."

Xu Qiang knew that this thorn still stuck in her heart.

She patted Xiao Lu's head and said, "I know, I won't mention you in the future."

Xiao Lu nodded, stood up, and wanted to go back upstairs.

The atmosphere in the living room was too heavy.

Their conversation is not easy at first, even if it is mixed with kissing and flirting, it can't move the stagnant air.

Xiao Lu wanted to escape a long time ago.

However, after Xu Qiang answered the phone call, every word she said, every expression she made made Xiao Lu unable to leave her alone in the living room.

She comforted Xu Qiang, and finally made up her mind to escape back to her safe range.

At this moment, Xu Qiang stopped her.

"Are you going upstairs?"

Under the light, Xu Qiang's beautiful face showed a strange fragility, as if the siren's singing had captivated Xiao Lu's heart.

This time it was really a coincidence, Xiao Lu shook his head.

Xu Qiang took an inch and said, "Can you accompany me?"

She rarely had such a time, Xiao Lu's memory, Xu Qiang had never said such a thing.

It never even showed such emotion.

Whether it is the illusory Xu Qiang or the real Xu Qiang, she always shows the courage to go forward, is always invincible, and never seems to be sad.

Xiao Lu's heart trembled, she returned to Xu Qiang's side, and sat down obediently.

She could feel that Xu Qiang's every move at this moment was completely out of sincerity.

Xu Qiang was seeking her hug and comfort, presenting her most vulnerable and restless side to Xiao Lu.

Even though this method is subtle and enthusiastic, making people unable to understand the true meaning, Xiao Lu is still willing to hide her fear and sit beside her.

Xu Qiang silently watched the singing program as the background sound, letting the surging emotions in her heart fluctuate continuously.

She wanted to wait for these emotions to pass, as usual.

But obviously not tonight.

Xu Qiang finally gave up, she tentatively touched Xiao Lu's shoulder.

Xiao Lu did not refuse.

She hugged Xiao Lu carefully, and pressed a kiss on her lips.

It was an innocent kiss, only lip to lip contact, too gentle.

Xiao Lu was only stunned for a moment, and then gave Xu Qiang the response she deserved.

She engraved this moment in her memory.

This was the first time Xu Qiang kissed her on his own initiative.

The author has something to say: Ms. Xu is actually quite innocent, touching her chin.
