Chapter 282
Lu Lixing spotted her actions from the corner of his eyes. He sent a message using his phone and after a short while, the assistant came over with a pair of shoes.
“Change into these.”
Ji Qingqing glanced at the shoebox. “I’m not changing. When going out to shop, one must dress up and look pretty. Who would even wear those shoes to go shopping anyway? Besides, we’re being filmed.”
“Doesn’t your feet hurt?”
Ji Qingqing’s hand that was about to reach down and massage her feet stopped. She made an effort to keep up appearances and stubbornly refused. “It doesn’t hurt. I’ll be fine after resting for a while.”
Lu Lixing looked at her and did not relent. He opened the shoe box and silently squatted down in front of her. His hand reached out and held her feet.
Ji Qingqing was stunned and her heart stiffened. In front of Lu Lixing, her feet instinctively backed away and her white toes curled shyly. She looked at the people around them and anxiously whispered, “What are you doing?”
He slipped Ji Qingqing’s high heels off her feet and put on the shoes that the assistant had brought over earlier. From a quick glance, there was a patch of redness on her ankles but it wasn’t swollen so it probably wasn’t that serious.
Lu Lixing lifted his head. He noticed her bright red face and chuckled. “I’m sure you’re tired too. We’ll head back after lunch.”
After putting on a shoe, Lu Lixing released his hold. Immediately, Ji Qingqing withdrew her feet. Lu Lixing’s calloused palms brushed against her soft feet and the temperature of his palms seemed to have suddenly risen by a couple of degrees. They were like brands that seared her feet and after her feet got burned, that fiery hot warmth lingered.
As for the other shoe, Ji Qingqing didn’t let him put it on for her. She removed her high heel and snatched the shoe Lu Lixing was holding to put it on directly.
You’re the boss of a corporation. How can you squat down and help me put on my shoes in public?
Ji Qingqing felt extremely awkward and the tips of her ears had turned to a visible bright red. She lowered her head and focused on finishing her food.
The place they were eating at was an extremely famous Harbor City restaurant with scenic views. It had a panoramic view that allowed one to see the beautiful sight of the entire city.
At a nearby opposite building’s LED advertising screen, an was being displayed.
It was an related to the《Let’s Date》program.
The screen was facing Lu Lixing and when he raised his head he could view it.
An honestly wasn’t anything special. But what actually caught Lu Lixing’s attention was the sponsors after the .
《Let’s Date》had a total of three endorsements: A fresh milk brand, a chocolate brand, and a car brand.
Those three endorsements suited the program quite well. But it just so happened that the chocolate sponsor was also the same chocolate brand that Ji Qingqing and Lu Yao had shooted an for previously.
So what does that mean?
It means that when《Let’s Date》airs, once every segment ends, Ji Qingqing and Lu Yao’s ‘Is it sweet?’ and ‘Not as sweet as you’ lines would appear on the television screen before the s start.
What’s more, during the credits you’ll be able to watch Ji Qingqing and Lu Yao say ‘Is it sweet?’ together.
Lu Lixing kept his cool. He nonchalantly finished his lunch while Ji Qingqing and Lu Yao’s lovey-dovey was playing.
After returning to the hotel, Lu Lixing sent Ji Qingqing back to the hotel room to rest while he personally went to the program crew’s office to find Director Wang. However, Director Wang wasn’t in. Lu Lixing inquired and heard that he had left the filming location.
Lu Lixing wasn’t in a hurry so he just sat there and waited.
About half an hour later, Director Wang eventually arrived late. He made an apologetic face. “Sorry, something came up so I was late. President Lu, I heard that you were looking for me. Is there anything wrong?”
Lu Lixing gestured to Director Wang to sit. “I’m here to discuss with you about the program’s sponsor.”
He placed a stack of files in front of Director Wang and leaned back. “In this program, Ji Qingqing and I are a couple. But your program’s is the chocolate brand that Ji Qingqing and Lu Yao are endorsing. Director Wang, do you think this is appropriate?”
Director Wang hesitated. “Well…yes, it isn’t that appropriate.”
“If Director Wang has any concerns, feel free to bring them up to me. Towards Director Wang’s program, I’m still rather confident of it.”
Director Wang understood immediately and chuckled.
The two of them chatted for close to half an hour in the meeting room. After that, Lu Lixing headed back to the hotel room.
Ji Qingqing heard him entering and came out from the room. “Where did you go?”
Lu Lixing took off his jacket and replied nonchalantly. “Chen Shuyi and Director Wang were discussing the sponsors so I went over to listen as well.”
“The sponsors? Haven’t they been decided already?” Ji Qingqing asked puzzledly and proceeded to take the jacket he removed.
Lu Lixing nodded. His expression looked visibly resigned. “I didn’t expect that Chen Shuyi would use my name to force Director Wang to break the contract. But thankfully it’s been resolved.”
“Contract? Break which contract?”
Lu Lixing continued naturally, “I think it is that the you and Lu Yao filmed. I’m not very sure of the exact details.”
As his voice fell, the washroom door opened.
Chen Shuyi came out from the washroom and looked at Lu Lixing complicatedly. “Good brothers are like your hands and women are like your clothes. So now you intend to abandon your trusty hands but refuse to go naked. Am I right?”
