Of course, she could borrow money from Nian Junting. However, he was a little paranoid, so Luosang wasn’t sure how he would think of her if she asked to borrow that much money from him. After all, they had just built a relationship. Currently, their relationship was based on equal footing, but if he lent her money, she might feel that she was a grade lower than him.

Besides, Nian Junting had never told her that he liked her. Perhaps he was just driven by his pride, and he wanted to be with her only because she had rejected him.

Even though her relationship with Nian Junting started suddenly and inexplicably, Luosang didn’t want it to be dirtied by money.

A while later, Luosang made up her mind and said, “Professor Ma, don’t worry about me. I’ll go beg Yi Jingxi.”

No matter how, she couldn’t put Professor Ma, who had helped her so much, in a difficult situation.

Supervisor Yuan agreed immediately. “Yeah, you’re so pretty. Just back down. We have no choice. No one in the film and industry circle has the guts to go against Yi Jingxi. I’m telling you the truth. As long as you still want a place in this circle, you need to get through this.”

Luosang remained silent.

Supervisor Yuan was right. She couldn’t keep ignoring this problem.

…

It was after five o’clock when she returned to school.

Nian Junting was pacing under the plane tree before the school gate, hands resting in pockets. He was tall, strong, and handsome, but his entire body radiated a scary coldness. Therefore, even though he was very attractive, the girls passing by only occasionally glanced at him; none dared accost him.

Luosang ran to him with a guilty feeling, saying, “Sorry. My professor had something to talk to me. I didn’t think it would take so long.”

“I’ve waited for you for fifty minutes.” Nian Junting tapped his expensive watch with his brows knitted. “No one has ever kept me waiting so long. You’re the first one.”

“My bad, my bad.” Luosang wouldn’t stop nodding. “But, since I’m your girlfriend now, isn’t it reasonable for you to wait for me?”

Hearing her say the word ‘girlfriend’, Nian Junting felt slightly better. However, he was still angry. “It’s just the first day, yet you’re already exercising your right as girlfriend, aren’t you?”

“Yeah. You’ve rented yourself to me as my boyfriend, and you’re unreturnable. Since it has become a real thing, of course I’m exercising this right.” Luosang was a little out of breath because of the running, and her cheeks were rosy.

The light of the falling sun poured on her entire body. Her long eyelashes flapped like a pair of tiny hand fans.

Nian Junting narrowed his eyes,then abruptly held her face with both hands.

“You… what do you want?” Luosang was startled.

“You’ve exercised your girlfriend’s right, so I should exercise my boyfriend’s right as well.” Nian Junting lowered his head to kiss her squeezed lips.

However, he didn’t manage to kiss her lips—just the back of her hands.

“What are you doing?” Nian Junting frowned.

Luosang smilingly dragged his hands off her face and said, “Mr. Nian, have you heard people say that you’ll always get stirred by what you can’t get?”

Nian Junting didn’t respond.

He didn’t know who had said that, but he did feel so. He was stirred right now, and he hadn’t been stirred like this for a long time.

The smiling beautiful woman in front of him was a lot younger than him, yet he felt that she was amazing. No wonder he fell into her trap step by step. She was cruelly tantalizing him.

‘I was right. She is trying everything she can to entrap me.
