After five years, Ning Xi returned to the place that had pushed her away — home. With a sister who turned her parents against her and made her childhood sweetheart betray her, the odds seemed grey. However, five years abroad had changed her, and she came home to fulfil her childhood dream of becoming an actress. Despite her evil sister still out to get her, tables will be turned. One day, after falling into one of her sister's schemes, she saves an adorable kid and found herself staying at his house to help him come out of his shell. Slowly, his father Lu Tingxiao began falling for her. This was before they realised how their lives had been intertwined all this while without their knowledge.
On the side, Xu Tao had vaguely heard their conversation and almost spurted blood out!
Bloody hell! This Chen Mian... he really lacked integrity! The way he changed his tone was just...
Ning Xi did not expect that Chen Mian would change his mind so quickly too. She looked at her phone and her mouth twitched.
"Ning Xi, you said so yourself. You said you'll compensate me with another movie, so I'm booking you in advance for the next movie's female lead. If the female lead won't do, then I can schedule you to be the male lead too! You can't go back on your word!" Chen Mian had been pretending to be all miserable earlier, yet now his tone sounded like he looked forward to the movie being ruined.
Ning Xi could not help but chuckle. "Got it! When have I ever broken a promise to you?"
"Hahaha... Good! Then, I'll go clarify right now! You just wait for it!" Chen Mian giddily answered.
