Chapter 181: Chapter 181 I Miss You Too

On her phone, Sheng Yan’s message instantly popped up.

Sheng Yan: "The recording hasn’t finished yet?"

Sheng Yan: "It has already been two days since we last saw each other."

Sheng Yan: "Where are you?"

Even through the screen, He Jinxia could feel a thick air of grievance emanating from him.

Especially the second message—its plaintive tone was more than evident.

He Jinxia smiled lightly, a trace of helplessness passed through her eyes. Really... the contrast was too stark.

She had never realized before how clingy Sheng Yan could be, having always appeared so cold and aloof.

But what could she do? It seemed she liked him even more now.

After some thought, He Jinxia decided to scratch at the turtle brimming with grievance, to coax him, so she typed back: "I’ve realized that I might like you even more now."

At this moment, Sheng Yan was lying on the hotel’s grand bed, clad in a bathrobe while reading a report. Hearing the "buzzing" vibration from his phone, he glanced over casually and saw the message from He Jinxia.

His expression paused, and he immediately picked up his phone to look, with his heart itching wildly from her words.

Sheng Yan’s eyes grew dark, a trace of obscure light flickered, and without thinking, he initiated a video call.

He Jinxia, who was huddled under the blankets, was startled by the unique ringtone of a WeChat call, and Cheng Xiaohua, lying in the bed beside her, who had just fallen asleep, was also awakened by the ringtone.

He Jinxia immediately hung up the call and flipped the blankets open to search for her earphones.

Cheng Xiaohua opened her blurry eyes and asked, "Who’s looking for you?"

With composure, He Jinxia replied, "No one. I’m watching a TV series, and the characters in the show were chatting on WeChat. I didn’t control the volume well, so it came out loud. I’m looking for my earphones."

Cheng Xiaohua didn’t think much of it and responded with an "Oh," reminding her, "We still have to go for the magazine shoot tomorrow afternoon. Remember to rest early."

He Jinxia softly acknowledged with a "Mhm," "I’ll just watch one episode, you should rest early too."

Cheng Xiaohua closed her eyes and mumbled a response, then flipped over and went back to sleep.

He Jinxia reached up to wipe her forehead. There wasn’t a trace of sweat, but she still felt a sense of relief.

She felt a bit helpless thinking about it. Having an aboveboard relationship felt like an affair in hiding; perhaps this is a celebrity’s trouble?

In fact, the status of celebrities in Hua Country had improved a lot over the years. Celebrities dating each other could even be branded together for marketing hype, drawing in fans and increasing their commercial value. But that was only feasible for first- or second-tier celebrities.

Sheng Yan’s status in the industry was too high, while hers was too low, not even reaching the first tier. If they went public with their relationship now, they would definitely face a wave of disapproval and criticism online, which could even affect their careers.

Her career had only just started. Even dating a second-tier male celebrity would bring her more benefits than dating a superstar.

Having found her earphones, He Jinxia made a video call to Sheng Yan.

Shortly afterwards, Sheng Yan’s sharp features appeared on her phone screen. A soft yellow light cast gentle shadows on his eyelids, accentuating his chiseled features.

He was wearing a white bathrobe, its deep V-neckline revealing a glimpse of the abs beneath. He Jinxia took a few glances, blinked her eyes, as the shape and contours were much stronger than the half-baked six-pack she had managed to sculpt.

Sheng Yan noticed He Jinxia’s gaze. He arched an eyebrow and asked casually, "Are you satisfied with what you see?"

He Jinxia: "..."

Casually, Sheng Yan adjusted his neckline, pulling it up a bit. Suddenly pausing, as if struck by a thought, he asked, "Want me to lift it a little more?"

He Jinxia: "..." Rascal!

Noticing He Jinxia’s strained expression, Sheng Yan’s brow furrowed. He sharply said, "It’s not convenient for you to speak there, is it?"

He Jinxia silently nodded.

Sheng Yan’s brows creased even more. "You’re lying in bed, which means you’ve already gone to rest, but you can’t talk... You’re sharing a room with your assistant."

——With a definite tone, not a question, He Jinxia couldn’t help but want to give Turtle Sheng a thumbs up for his wit.

She continued to nod.

Sheng Yan thought for a moment and said, "How about I hang up the video call and chat with you through text instead?"

If Sheng Yan could speak comfortably, he would definitely not resort to texting, something He Jinxia had long since realized. Facing Sheng Yan’s suggestion now, she shook her head, not wanting him to text.

In the video, Sheng Yan only saw the lying He Jinxia’s eyes slightly curved, her gaze shining like bright stars. The next second, the phone on her side wobbled, and all he could see was a circle of hair on top of her head.

A few seconds later, a WeChat notification sound rang out. Sheng Yan raised an eyebrow, minimized the video screen, and returned to the WeChat interface to see several messages from He Jinxia.

He Jinxia: "No need, just listening to your voice and seeing your face is good."

He Jinxia: "I want to see you."

He Jinxia: "Miss you."

The grand boss Sheng was instantly pacified.

His throat moved slightly, wanting to say he would come to her, but the words toured his mouth and he swallowed them back down.

Sheng Yan’s eyes slightly darkened, and he reached up to touch the center of his forehead, sighing softly in his heart.

No longer some impatient young person who could just leave on a whim, there were a ton of things to deal with in the production crew. If he left, how would things be managed here? Let alone explaining to Director Li, his agent would nag him to death.

Sheng Yan replied with a message: "I really want to be by your side right now."

He Jinxia’s lips curved slightly, playfully countering with, "And then?"

Sheng Yan: "Hold you."

Sheng Yan: "Kiss you."

Sheng Yan: "Eat you."

Triple hit!!!

He Jinxia suddenly felt like she couldn’t continue this conversation anymore.

Ever since their romance started, Sheng Yan had embarked on a path of sauciness with no return.

Such a cool and aloof exterior, yet so passionately deadly when heated.

He Jinxia glanced at the minimized video on the bottom of her phone screen, where she could only see half of Sheng Yan’s face.

His expression was indifferent, as proper as could be, who could imagine he would send such content.

After being dumbfounded for a moment, He Jinxia watched, wide-eyed, as Sheng Yan began to retract his messages. Three messages disappeared consecutively, making the interface less clutter-free than before.

The chat screen now glaringly showed three grey long texts, uniformly stating—

[Sheng Yan has retracted a message]

He Jinxia: ...

What to do with a boyfriend who’s cold on the outside but hot and subtly flirty on the inside?

A response suddenly floated into her mind: "Pamper him, spoil him, love him fiercely."

Emmm, what are all these ridiculous thoughts! (Flipping the table~)

At that moment, Sheng Yan’s deep and mellow voice came through the earphones, "Why aren’t you typing?"

He Jinxia snapped back to reality, her face flushing with warmth, even her ears turning red. After hesitating for a bit, she carefully reached out a small paw to flirt with her boyfriend and typed a confession-like phrase:

"I miss you too."

Sheng Yan saw it, his eyes darkening, his voice somewhat husky, "Me too."
