Ye Jin was overjoyed. If the original author could join the cast, it would not only reassure the fans of the original work, but also greatly boost the reputation of the entire series.
She refused during dinner just now? Why did she suddenly agree? Could it be because I helped her confront Wan Shiliu?
Ye Jin wasn't one to dwell on reasons; as long as Song Miao agreed, it was a good thing, so she immediately replied with a smile.
"It would be wonderful if you could join us. How could we possibly look down on you for lacking experience? You're the one who understands the plot best! Screenwriting is the same as writing novels. With your talent for writing novels, screenwriting shouldn't be difficult for you either. We'll also have professional screenwriters assist you."
The group discussed the details further, brought Song Miao into the screenwriting team, agreed on a rough deadline for the first draft, and then parted ways.
Overall, the negotiations went very smoothly, and most of the work was completed in just one day instead of the expected three-day trip.
City B is rich in cultural and tourism resources, so Ye Jin and Huo Yun spent another two days in City B before returning to City A.
But when Ye Jin returned to the Su Family and saw Su Chengjing, she found that her cheap husband's gaze towards her was different again, and he was very gentle and considerate towards her.
He would occasionally bring her a limited-edition handbag, buy her some precious jewelry, and even bought her several islands as gifts...
Ye Jin's initial surprise gradually turned into a muttered unease.
Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious; could it be that he's planning to divorce me and is trying to lull me into a false sense of security?
Hearing Ye Jin's inner thoughts, Su Chengjing was speechless. If she had feelings for him, couldn't he simply be good to her?
Su Chengjing gritted his teeth, wanting to quit. But thinking of Ye Jin's incredible ability to make up stories, he felt he had to explain himself, otherwise his future days would probably be anything but peaceful.
One day, they both happened to leave work early and returned to their yard after dinner.
Ye Jin was used to washing up as soon as she entered the bedroom, so Su Chengjing pretended to be reading documents while mentally preparing an explanation to Ye Jin that he didn't actually have any female confidantes.
He couldn't just say it directly, since he couldn't reveal that he could hear thoughts. A sudden, unfounded explanation would definitely arouse Ye Jin's suspicion.
After Ye Jin and the others finished washing up and came out of the bathroom, they saw Su Chengjing looking at them very seriously.
[Oh, why are you so serious? Do you want to talk to me about something? Are you going to bring up divorce?!]
[Oh my god, am I going to become rich?! As long as you give me enough breakup money, I definitely won't drag out the divorce or make things difficult for your confidante.]
[I'm so excited! Su Chengjing is always generous. I wonder how much he'll give me in breakup money. I won't agree to anything less than a billion.]
Su Chengjing:...
I don't know if Ye Jin is ambitious or not. Isn't getting him in person enough to maintain their marriage worth more than a billion? The things he's given her recently are worth more than a billion!
Forget it, I can't argue with Ye Jin. If I really do, Ye Jin will probably be fine, but I'll just get angry.
Suppressing his frustration, Su Chengjing asked, " Xiao Jin, did I not tell you exactly how I escaped back?"
Ye Jin's mind immediately went into overdrive.
[Here it begins, here it begins, he's about to tell me how he met his soulmate on his escape, how he fell in love, and how he couldn't live without her...]
Su Chengjing immediately spoke up. He felt that if he didn't interrupt Ye Jin 'Ye Jin train of thought, he was afraid he would be led astray by her.
"Although the journey was arduous and lengthy, thankfully I escaped unharmed. After escaping, I met a kind and reliable businessman from Hua Country. Even though he didn't know my identity, he was willing to help me return home. It was with his help that I was able to return home safely."
He deliberately emphasized the words "elder brother," hoping to make Ye Jin understand that no woman could save him.
However, while Ye Jin outwardly hummed in agreement, her mind began to wander.
[Wait a minute, how did he become the eldest brother? Does this eldest brother have a daughter or sister or something?]
Su Chengjing:... Why does she have such a vivid imagination?
So he could only be more direct, " Xiao Jin, I know you suffered a lot while I was gone. Let's make it work from now on."
Ye Jin nodded with a "touched" expression, but inwardly she was terrified.
[Damn, is that scumbag man under pressure from his mother, wanting to keep the wife at home while having affairs on the side? Ha, what a dirty man!]
Ye Jin's mood immediately soured. She angrily climbed onto the bed, taking up most of the bed, and pulled the blanket over herself. Then she turned away and refused to look at Su Chengjing anymore.
Su Chengjing: Why is it that no matter how I explain, she can always imagine all sorts of strange things! And she even makes me angry!
Chapter 38
Su Chengjing felt that unless he spoke directly, he would not be able to explain himself clearly to Ye Jin. After all, after he explained, he would go from being a scumbag who was willing to divorce his girlfriend for his confidante to a scumbag who was willing to deceive both of them in Ye Jin's eyes.
After much thought, he decided to entrust this difficult task to Lin Xiwen.
After hearing Su Chengjing's request, Lin Xiwen quickly waved her hand and looked at her son with a disappointed expression.
"I won't interfere in your affairs as a couple. How you prove to Ye Jin that you have no ulterior motives is up to you."
Of course, that wasn't the only reason. She had long noticed that her son was slow to grasp things, and if she helped him solve this problem, he would probably become engrossed in his work again.
On the contrary, by leaving this question unresolved, he would try every means to get close to Ye Jin and prove himself.
