73 Heartache

“How is that fine? My heart aches,” Luo Ying muttered in a low voice, her little face scrunched up.

Lu Zhao’s heart melted. This woman was so endearing that he could not help himself but fall deeper in love.

He didn’t want her to leave him. He did not want her to leave him for a single second.

He reached out and hugged Luo Ying, holding her tightly in his arms.

“I won’t let you leave me,” Lu Zhao said.

Luo Ying contentedly snuggled in Lu Zhao’s arms.

“I know, I know.” Luo Ying sat up and wrapped her arms around Lu Zhao’s neck, pressing the half of her face that wasn’t covered in medicine against Lu Zhao’s neck.

“I’ve asked the director for a leave. He said that he’ll find someone to replace me this week, and that I’m free to take the entire week off. We don’t have to stay in the hotel anymore. We can go straight home!” Luo Ying’s face was red with excitement when she talked about going home.

Lu Zhao ran his fingers through her hair. “Okay, let’s go home.”

While Luo Ying and Lu Zhao basked in warmth, the backstage of the TV station painted an entirely different picture.

Su Ran was helping Lin Su deal with the wounds on his face. “Lu Zhao is too much. How could he do this to you? Our company’s Annual Meeting is next week, and you still have to give a speech on stage. How could he ruin your face now…?”

Lin Su’s eyes were cold. He stared at Su Ran in silence.

“Why are you looking at me like that? I didn’t think that Lu Zhao would actually do such a thing for Luo Ying.” Su Ran used a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to apply it on Lin Su’s face.

“It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have told you about those things. I caused you to be humiliated by Lu Zhao.”

For Lin Su, being slapped in the face and kicked to the ground was utter humiliation.

“It’s fine. I’d do anything for you.” Lin Su reached out and touched Su Ran’s hair. “You’ve been through a lot. I’ll definitely make Chang Yuan pay.”

Chang Yuan was the director of “Full Moon”. He was the man who had almost ruined Su Ran.

“I don’t want anyone else to know about this. My career will be ruined.” Su Ran’s eyes were filled with tears.

In the entertainment industry, reputation paved the way for most paths.

Even if they were violated and humiliated, they had to hold their silence.

Artistes like Su Ran had meticulously crafted pure images for themselves. It was all the more important for them.

She could not afford to let even rumors of this spread.

“I won’t let this spread. Don’t worry, he’s just a director. We’ll find a way.” Lin Su gritted his teeth in hatred. “Lu Zhao and Luo Ying are going to get their just desserts, too.”

Su Ran nodded and continued to apply the medicine on Lin Su.

As he looked at the demure lady beside him, Lin Su’s desire to protect her reached its peak. He would not let any attempt to hurt her go unanswered.

…

When Luo Ying returned home, Zhang had already prepared their meal.

On the table were sea bass soup noodles, braised pig trotters, honeyed tomatoes… They were all good for healing wounds.

The two of them sat down and began to eat.

“You should eat more pig trotters. It’s good for your wound’s recovery.” Luo Ying put a big pig trotter on Lu Zhao’s plate.

Lu Zhao was stunned.

For so many years, no one had ever put food in his bowl when he ate at the Lu family’s house. This was the first time someone had done so.

Luo Ying had never treated him like this before.

Lu Zhao’s peered carefully at Luo Ying. He wanted to keep Luo Ying by his side forever.

“If you’re not happy working at that company, don’t do it. Shake yourself free from the contract. I’ll help you open a studio,” Lu Zhao said.

It was not easy to work beneath Lin Su.

Luo Ying had not wanted to resort to this. After all, the penalty fee was very high.

“I want to find a few suitable individuals to be my colleagues in the future. What do you think?” Luo Ying asked.

Before she transmigrated, she had always wanted to open a studio and create a group that she liked.

Lu Zhao nodded. “Sure, just let my assistant know who you want to sign.”

Luo Ying nodded and immediately sent a message to Chi Tong, asking him to take note of a few up and coming newcomer artistes.

It did not take long for Chi Tong to send over videos of the few of them.

Luo Ying saved the video files.
