Please Smile at Me

Chapter 12: Suitors

After Zhao Qingying finished swiping the card, she ordered the clerk to pack it carefully before going on to buy gifts for others.

Dad, here's a watch.

Mom, here's a watch.

Brother, I bought a watch last year, but I don’t buy it.

After buying the presents, it was getting late, so I walked around the neighborhood before choosing a restaurant for dinner. There were a lot of guests at this time, but passers-by saw her beautiful, so they just took a few more glances, and not everyone knew her.

The waiter led her inside, at this moment, a male voice sounded from a corner: "Zhao Qingying."

Looking sideways, she saw a slender man wearing simple and casual clothes sitting at the table.

It turned out to be an acquaintance, Cui Xincheng. It's the actor in the next play she will cooperate with, and also the actor and boring suitor she has collaborated with once in a variety show.

Oh, now that I've upgraded, I still want to be a contract couple with her.

She didn't really want to go there, but the other party's shout just now made many people look at her.

At this time, Cui Xincheng personally came over and invited her to sit down: "Come together, there are quite a lot of guests now."

She walked over helplessly, and Cui Xincheng pulled out a chair for her very gentlemanly, and handed her the menu.

She pointed to the steak on the menu and said to the waiter, "this, this, and this, thank you."

After the waiter left, she glared at Cui Xincheng, who was holding back his laughter: "Why are you laughing, English trash can't do it? It's all about being able to eat."

"Of course, you can do anything." Cui Xincheng smiled, couldn't hold back, and still laughed out loud, so he had to put his fist against his lips.

"Don't be complacent about your good English, if you have the ability, you can speak Japanese!"

"Ya Butterfly." Cui Xincheng opened his mouth and came.

"...You're so coquettish." Zhao Qingying looked at him with disgust, "But why did you come to Paris?"

"Come and play, I'm about to join the group, and I'm not allowed to relax. What, you suspect that I'm here for you?" Cui Xincheng looked at her meaningfully.

Zhao Qingying took a sip of her drink: "Yes, I have reasonable doubts, but I have no evidence."

"That's really what you guessed." Cui Xincheng looked at her calmly, "Anyway, I want to travel, why not find a place with you? The beautiful scenery and beautiful people are really pleasing."

"You can pull it down."

After the steak was served, she immediately picked up the knife and fork, cut a small piece, and was about to eat it, when she saw Cui Xincheng staring at her and warned: "I advise you to give up as soon as possible."

After speaking, just open your mouth and eat it, chew it.

Cui Xincheng smiled: "No, after much deliberation, I think you and I are the most suitable. Together, we are definitely a pair of fairy couples in the entertainment industry."

"God, you ghost, if you want to catch my attention, just say it." Zhao Qingying rolled her eyes, "It's been a long time since you filmed, and it's hard to find such a resource, just act in a down-to-earth manner, don't even think about fighting Crooked idea. If I had known that the male lead was you, I would not have taken this role."

"Why, are you afraid of doing fake things to me?" Cui Xincheng said confidently.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, your skin is thicker than a steak." She continued to eat a piece of meat, "Sorry, I have everything, let alone a man, so there is no need to compete with me. And what you proposed last time Don't even think about a love contract."

In fact, there are endless rumors about her love affairs. On the one hand, the media spread rumors, and on the other hand, she connived at it. At first she would go to clarify, but she found that no one believed it, so she simply ignored it, just to dispel some people's concerns.

Some people said before that they would adopt her, but after hearing about her scandals, they immediately turned around and adopted a clean little 18-year-old.

Sometimes these scandals are still very beneficial to her, so she didn't take the initiative to clarify the incident with Su Qibai that made headlines last time.

The company has no doubts about her approach. In a second-rate company, the most popular and most profitable artist is Zhao Qingying. Even if she takes the black and red route, she is still a first-line actress, so the company is very tolerant of her.

It's just that I didn't expect that there are still some people who don't give up.

Cui Xincheng, who did not give up, said: "It doesn't matter, you have so many men, and you don't mind adding me."

Zhao Qingying's eyes widened: "Are you an earthworm? You are so flexible. The man who will be with me will not last more than three days. I guess you will be kicked in three minutes at most."

Cui Xincheng's face froze, and his tone calmed down: "It's okay, we can be a contract couple, without interfering with each other, and mutual benefit."

Contract couples are not uncommon, and several couples in the circle are like this. They can exchange resources, show off their affection without notice, and increase exposure and fans' attention. But she, Zhao Qingying, doesn't need it.

"It's a good idea, don't try to seduce me with a piece of broken paper. What I, Zhao Qingying, lack is a contract? What I lack is someone I like!"

Cui Xincheng was taken aback, and looked at her slightly surprised. The dim light hit her face, which seemed unreal.

Zhao Qingying seems to be different from what she imagined.

Zhao Qingying said more and more vigorously: "When you look at a person like you, you don't know what liking is and what love is."

The corner of Cui Xincheng's mouth raised a subtle arc: "Then you know?"

"I..." Zhao Qingying opened her mouth, but couldn't answer the question.

After all, she had never really been tempted either.

She looked sideways at the night scene outside, her eyelashes drooping slightly, she blinked suddenly, turned her head to look at him, and said with a smile: "Sooner or later, I will know, when I meet someone who makes me happy and loves, I will love you." I'll definitely tell you what it's like."

Cui Xincheng: ...No, I don't want to know!

As soon as she got back to the hotel at night, Chen Xiaohuan rushed into her room and said in a panic, "Why did you have dinner with Cui Xincheng?"

"I ran into it by accident, what's the matter?"

Chen Xiaohuan took out her mobile phone and handed it to her: "Congratulations, there is a daily hot search again."

She took a look at it, and saw that one of the titles read "Zhao Qingying and Cui Xincheng romantically traveled together in Paris, and talked and laughed in restaurants together late at night."

She laughed: "When you talk about these headline parties, it's late at night every time, as if I don't have a day, and I also eat with men during the day."

Chen Xiaohuan sighed and asked, "Do you want to suppress it?"

"Damn it! It exploded in China so quickly, maybe Cui Xincheng did it." She snorted, "Don't get it on Grandma's head, he still insists on playing with fire."

"Then are we going to blow up his bad news?"

"I don't need it for the time being. I still have to work with him. It's not good for anyone to have a fight at this time, let alone being in the same group. It's enough to suppress it first. Let's talk about it after the show is over."

Chen Xiaohuan was quite pleased: "The child has grown up."

"Hmph, get out."

Chen Xiaohuan looked for other news and suppressed it. Netizens had long been accustomed to Zhao Qingying's news, and it didn't cause too much trouble.

Zhao Qingying, who was at the side, suddenly remembered something, and slapped her head: "Damn! I have a spokesperson now, so I can't make scandals."

Chen Xiaohuan didn't expect her to be so self-conscious, and was about to praise her, when she immediately took out her phone and sent a sweet voice.

"Mr. Yu~ listen to me~ I didn't fool around with other men~"

Chen Xiaohuan: "...It's disgusting."

"Really?" Zhao Qingying confirmed again and again. Seeing her nodding repeatedly, she quickly pressed withdraw, and then looked at her as if asking for help, "Excuse me, how can I scientifically and effectively leave a good impression on the goddess?"
