Fog Returns to the Capital

Chapter 71 Will you marry her?

……

Later, when we went downstairs for breakfast...

When Li Wu saw Zhou Jinghuai, she asked him this question subtly and implicitly.

But almost the instant Li Wu finished speaking, Zhou Jinghuai knew what she really wanted to ask.

Zhou Jinghuai led her by the hand toward the restaurant, uttering three words slowly and deliberately.

"It sounds beautiful."

Li Wu, "..."

She was asking him if the soundproofing was good, not how hers... sounded.

They had breakfast in the courtyard on the mountaintop, enjoying a variety of breakfast dishes while admiring the magnificent scenery.

Although Zhou Jinghuai had a chef at each of his residences to cook according to his preferences, the person in charge of Nanxia still had a local chef specializing in breakfast waiting for him early in the morning.

During meals.

Zhou Jinghuai placed a glass of warmed milk next to Li Wu.

Li Wu hesitated, seemingly reluctant to drink. She glanced at Zhou Jinghuai and whispered, "I want to drink yogurt."

She always felt that fresh milk had a strange taste, and she preferred to drink sweet and sour yogurt.

just.

There were several boxes of yogurt next to Xu Xiling, and he handed one to Li Wu. "This one is cold. If you want to drink it, you'd better warm it up."

"Need not."

Li Wu's bright eyes sparkled with a smile as she reached out to take it, "I'll just drink the cold stuff..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Wu suddenly felt a chill.

She subconsciously looked at Zhou Jinghuai beside her.

But his face was as serene and elegant as jade. His fingers, holding the silver spoon, were long and pale. He stirred the porridge in the bowl slowly and deliberately, and every gesture he made was refined and noble.

The chill that Li Wu felt was merely a wisp of cold wind sweeping through the mountains in the early morning.

Seemingly sensing Li Wu's gaze.

Zhou Jinghuai looked at her, his gaze calm and composed, his voice unhurried and even, and asked, "What?"

"No...nothing..."

Li Wu unconsciously tightened her grip on the chopsticks.

Subsequently.

Li Wu turned to Xu Xiling and smiled apologetically, "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable. I'll just have some warm milk instead."

Done.

Li Wu nudged Zhou Jinghuai with her elbow and said in a low voice, somewhat dissatisfied, "I want to drink with a straw."

Hear the words.

Zhou Jinghuai glanced at her and lightly scolded, "So delicate."

Despite saying that, Zhou Jinghuai still found a straw and put it in her cup, saying in a light and gentle voice, "My dear lady, do you still want me to feed you?"

"No, no need..."

Li Wu quickly gripped the cup in her hand.

A faint blush instantly appeared on her small, fair ears.

Like peach blossoms in March, about to bloom.

Surprisingly, amidst the swirling mist, it appears delicate and radiant, tempting one to pick it.

When Shen Yichen saw this scene, he subtly raised an eyebrow.

Xu Xiling, sitting there, had a clear and dignified face, brows like pine trees, and a calm demeanor. His aura remained indifferent and aloof, making it impossible to discern his emotions.

"She's used to drinking warm milk at home in the morning."

Zhou Jinghuai turned to Xu Xiling and poured him some tea.

The attitude naturally followed.

It was as if the scene that had just happened never existed.

"Yeah."

Xu Xiling's clear and dignified face remained unchanged, and his tone was indifferent, revealing no change in emotion. "I thought you were used to being domineering, and that people even had to listen to what you drank."

……

Li Wu had to film a scene that day.

After breakfast, she went down the mountain with Shen Yichen.

before going.

Li Wu hesitated for a moment, then asked Zhou Jinghuai, "How many days are you going to stay in Nanxia this time?"

I've already started missing him even before he's left.

Zhou Jinghuai stood tall and elegant under the eaves, dressed in a simple white shirt and black trousers.

She exuded an air of refined elegance.

Hearing Li Wu's words, Zhou Jinghuai looked down at her and said calmly, "You can't bear to part with me?"

Li Wu was about to deny it shyly, but when she met his dark, deep eyes, she suddenly nodded slightly. "A little bit." Zhou Jinghuai's tone was casual. "Just a little bit?"

"..."

Li Wu wanted to bite him.

Asking knowingly.

It quieted down.

Li Wu tiptoed and kissed Zhou Jinghuai's lips, then proactively reported her schedule to him, "I'll be filming here for another two months. Come see me when you have time, okay?"

"I have no plans to come to Nanxia for the time being."

Looking at the hope in her eyes, Zhou Jinghuai said in a gentle voice, "If you want to see me, I can have someone bring you back to Beijing. It will only take three or four hours."

Also.

The journey, which took almost a day and a night, was completed in three or four hours by helicopter.

Li Wu stood right in front of Zhou Jinghuai, the two of them very close.

A clear, elegant, and familiar scent brushed past Li Wu's nose, causing a slight itch to run through her heart.

"This director is very strict; he doesn't allow us to take leave."

Li Wu's voice was soft and gentle as she tried to change Zhou Jinghuai's mind, "I was able to come to see you last night during my rest time."

But don't want to.

Zhou Jinghuai replied calmly, "Who could possibly refuse to approve your leave?"

"..."

Li Wu really wanted to bite him.

She looked a little sulky.

Zhou Jinghuai smiled, raised his hand and gently pinched her fair and delicate face, and replied, "Okay, I'll come see you when I have time."

"At least twice."

Li Wu didn't know how long his "having time" meant. So, just to be on the safe side, she decided to set a limit on the number of times.

Zhou Jinghuai looked down into her beautiful, clear eyes, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever dared to explicitly ask him to do anything.

"Ah."

Zhou Jinghuai responded softly, "At least twice."

Done.

Without further hesitation, Zhou Jinghuai grabbed Li Wu by the back of the neck and lowered his head to kiss her.

……

Li Wu left with Shen Yichen.

The car had only been gone for two minutes.

Zhou Jinghuai received a message from Li Wu on his mobile phone.

[Li Wu: I didn't have a chance to tell you just now, but I'll miss you so much!!! Sending you a heart.jpg]

[Li Wu: Heart.jpg]

[Li Wu: Heart.jpg]

read it.

Zhou Jinghuai smiled faintly, then put away his phone.

Xu Xiling appeared beside him without him noticing.

Both men were tall and had exceptional bearing.

Even though the two grew up together, their auras were completely different.

One is as elegant as jade, the other as dignified as a pine tree.

I don't know if it's too early or if the weather is bad today. The rolling mountains lie on the horizon, and the thick fog lingers for a long time.

After standing still for a while, Xu Xiling suddenly asked.

Will you marry her?

……

The wuxia drama "A Smile in the Vast Sea" was successfully released during the winter break and won the ratings champion on satellite TV.

Three hit dramas in one year, and all of them were huge hits with everyone involved.

Successfully made the name "Liwu" famous throughout the country.

That was the year Li Wu was at her most popular, and also the year she was most successful in the industry.

That year, top resources in the industry were all geared towards her. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that all actors and stars had to make way for her.

Simultaneously.

The three dramas she starred in have also been nominated for three major national awards in China.

This year's awards ceremony was once again held in City S.

Li Wu was invited to participate.
