Chapter 1724 - 1727: Chi Ningjia's Charming Choice
Early next morning, when the dazzling sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains into the small living room, Chi Ningjia, looking infinitely satisfied and charming as water, pouted and said to Shen Qiang unhappily: "Annoying, I told you, I'm the leading lady here, why are you asking about Song Weiyin first thing in the morning? Have you ever considered my feelings?"Lying on two lazy couches put together as a bed, which wasn't very comfortable, Shen Qiang raised his eyebrows and smiled helplessly: "We're all adults, I said last night, don't expect me to acknowledge anything after putting on my pants or talk to me about things like responsibility."
Upon hearing this, Chi Ningjia, radiant as water, smiled with squinting eyes and pouted playfully: "Yeah, you did say that, don't expect you to acknowledge anything after putting on your pants, but the problem is, you haven't even put on your pants yet and you're already not acknowledging anything."
Shen Qiang burst out laughing: "Right, right, you're right, you've got a point, then I'll put on my pants before we talk."
Looking at the serious Shen Qiang, Chi Ningjia teased coquettishly: "You're so bad, you don't even try to coax me, even if it's fake, even if it only makes me happy for a moment, what's so good about Song Weiyin, Song Weiyin, how come you all like her so much?"
Shen Qiang laughed: "Just interested, that's very different from liking."
Upon hearing this, Chi Ningjia laughed: "I get it, I have many men I'm interested in, but you're the only one I brought here."
Shen Qiang laughed: "I believe you, but now I'm really curious, what's Song Weiyin like in private?"
Chi Ningjia furrowed her brows slightly, hesitated for a moment, then rested her head on Shen Qiang's arm and said, "Song Weiyin, how should I put it..."
Hesitant Chi Ningjia paused for a long time before looking seriously at Shen Qiang, saying: "Can I make up bad things about her?"
Shen Qiang was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
"She seems quite different from a normal person, she's polite to everyone; in the crew, whether it's the stylist, lighting, crew members, or even the person delivering boxed meals, no one's ever seen her acting like a diva or pretentious, looking down on others, nothing like that."
"But outside of acting, Song Weiyin feels unapproachable, very cold." Raising her head, looking seriously at Shen Qiang, Chi Ningjia said: "That kind of cold, like she's shut herself up in a small room, she smiles at people outside, but nobody can enter her territory."
"Drama queen." Shen Qiang commented: "In other words, she's never shown her true self in front of you all."
Hearing this, Chi Ningjia's eyes lit up and she replied: "Exactly, that feeling of a high and cold demeanor, flawless conduct, seems to have a good relationship with everyone and is quite polite, but still retains a considerable distance."
"You could say she's fake, but she's different from truly being fake, you could say she's sincere, but she keeps people at a distance, overall, thinking about it doesn't feel comfortable, yet at the same time, you can't find fault."
Shen Qiang laughed: "That's normal, everyone hides their true thoughts, aren't you the same?"
"I wouldn't." Chi Ningjia rolled her beautiful eyes at Shen Qiang: "If someone performs poorly at the studio making me dissatisfied, I'd glare and throw a tantrum."
Shen Qiang laughed: "Exactly, that's why the studio's going under."
Chi Ningjia was displeased: "I don't need you to care, do you really think I slept with you for money?"
"Isn't it?" Shen Qiang raised his eyebrows.
Chi Ningjia pouted: "Hmph, I'm just proving I'm more of a woman than Song Weiyin, I'm better than her in the love field, maybe not in career, but at least I know who I like, and be together, and when I don't anymore, I just leave."
Shen Qiang laughed, eyes full of helplessness: "You're not a good woman, and your evaluation of Song Weiyin is empty, it equals saying nothing, I still don't understand her."
"Don't you have the guts to ask her out?" Chi Ningjia raised her eyebrows: "Why must you find out from me? You know well I'm not as good as her in the set, yet you're asking about her before getting off my bed, aren't you afraid I'll hate her more?"
Shen Qiang felt helpless: "Okay, can I stop asking then?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Ningjia rolled her eyes at Shen Qiang, then rested her head on Shen Qiang's arm, after a long silence, said: "Although I'm really jealous of Song Weiyin's status and beauty now, and angry at the attention you pay her, I have to admit, Song Weiyin's character is truly first-rate in this circle."
"But sometimes, I always feel like she's a girl with autism, even among crowds, she consistently gives me the impression she's alone."
Listening to these cryptic words, Shen Qiang furrowed his brow: "You're compressing my arm."
"You're so petty, I've never seen a man as petty as you, I'm just resting on your arm for a while, will that kill you?" Chi Ningjia spat incredulously.
Looking at her resentful eyes, Shen Qiang sighed helplessly, laying there silent for a long while before suddenly saying: "If you had a perfect but unattainable dream, and a happiness within reach, what would you choose?"
Chi Ningjia smiled: "Are you suggesting we could be together?"
Shen Qiang sighed, rolled his eyes at her and said: "You know very well, you're neither my dream nor my happiness, it's something unrelated to you, you just need to tell me, what would you choose in this situation?"
Chi Ningjia looked seriously at Shen Qiang, lips curving into a charming smile, after about two or three seconds of silent mischief, she laughed and said: "Kiss me and I'll tell you."
Shen Qiang sighed, gently kissed her fragrant cheek.
Then she smiled with squinting eyes and said with cunning eyes: "This is too easy, my perfect dream is to marry the world's number-one handsome billionaire, but globally, most of those big billionaires are old and ugly."
"Young, rich enough, handsome, charming, and must like me, be obedient to me, that would be perfect, but dreams are dreams, so naturally, they're out of reach."
Watching Shen Qiang frown at her, Chi Ningjia smiled with squinting eyes: "So I choose a not-too-poor bad guy from around me who looks pleasing to sleep with, so your question is truly too naïve, any adult would choose readily available happiness over a misguided perfect dream."
