Chapter 36: When should I meet your family?
Fang finally regained his freedom after a week. Stepping out of the door again, the first thing Fang Qiao did was to check his cake shop.
Although the paparazzi downstairs had gone, Fang still searched out a cap just in case, and slipped out with half of his face covered. This sneak act made him feel, for the first time, that he was a star too.
As soon as he slipped into the kitchen of his cake shop from the back door, someone followed up. The man, with a pair of black sunglasses and in a black wind coat, grabbed hold of Fang from his back, which scared Fang a lot.
The man in black took off his black sunglasses to reveal a delicate small face.
Shaking his wind coat, Han Jiayue asked excitedly, “Well, do I look like the batman?”
Fang replied with a poker face, “Like a bat, not a batman.”
Han pouted with disgust, “Bad taste.”
“Why are you here?”
“Lin Yao said he will come after class. I’m here waiting for him.” Then Han just swaggered in and found a place to sit naturally as if the shop had been owned by him.
“What’s going on between Lu Yanzhou and you? It took a week to stifle the news. Although it has been clarified temporarily, it will still have an influence on your future development.”
Fang had also thought about the issue. Lu had said he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to let Fang enjoy the popularity for a longer time, so Fang didn’t ask more.
Han continued excitedly, “Xingzhou Entertainment is so bad at crisis management. It’s not as good as our company. When does your contract expire? Why don’t you come to my company? Since we are acquainted with each other, I can act as a go-between.”
Fang calculated, and it seemed to be the next month.
Actually, he had considered many times before, and decided not to renew the contract when it expired. Anyway, he had no ambition for his acting career. So it might be good to quit the showbiz, and be a baker comfortably.
But recently, there had been some subtle change in his thinking. He wanted to stay for someone.
Seeing Fang was still untouched, Han continued, “Lu always deals with things quickly. In my opinion, he doesn’t care about you this time.”
“No way!” Fang responded strongly to firmly maintain Lu’s fame.
“Oops!” Han shook his legs with scorn.
Lin Yao pushed the door in with a schoolbag on his back at the moment. Han rushed up immediately, not caring about Fang any more.
“Yaoyao…”
Fang got goose bumps all over, while Lin Yao remained calm as if he had got used to it. So he just allowed Han to cling to his body.
Fang couldn’t bear to see the scene anymore. He happened to get a new message on his phone at the moment. Thinking it might be from Lu, Fang took up his phone to check excitedly. But it was from his agent, and Fang pulled a long face immediately.
“An outdoor variety show wants to invite you to join in. Come to the company to check the plan tomorrow.”
Well, OK. Anyway he could see Lu in the company.
When he arrived at the company the next day, Xiang spoke to Fang happily, “You are just so lucky this time. Do you know how hot the show is? There are so many stars scrambling to join in, but they offer you an invitation actively.”
“Isn’t it because of Mr. Lu?”
“Actually, no. Since you are so hot recently, I guess there will be more invitations from various programs.”
Fang thought to himself that his popularity just contributed to Lu.
“Who else will be in the show?”
Xiang mentioned the names of a couple of guests who had been confirmed. All of them were hot idols with high popularity.
“Mr. Lu is trying to get another position, and it should be given to one of our stars.”
“Who?” Fang asked with curiosity.
“It’s… Ah, Mr. Lu, you are here.” Seeing Lu walk in, Xiang stopped, and greeted Lu immediately.
Haven’t seen Lu for a few days, Fang felt overjoyed as soon as he saw Lu walking to them.
Lu asked the agent, “Is it done?”
“Almost.”
“Good,” Lu took Fang’s hand naturally, and asked, “Would you like to have dinner with me?”
Seeing his hand taken by Lu, Fang nodded with strength like a chick pecking grain from the ground.
They went to a Cantonese restaurant next to their company, which was said to belong to Lu’s family as well. Lu called the manager over, and let Fang order whatever he liked. A full table of dishes was served.
Looking at the dishes on the table, Fang felt embarrassed. He scratched his head, and said, “It seems too much.”
“Well, it’s OK. As you like.”
Being touched in the heart, Fang felt Lu was so attractive today.
A familiar figure came from the direction of the door at the moment. Having cast a glance, Lu spoke to Fang suddenly who had just shelled a shrimp, “Feed me.”
Fang thought Lu was teasing him, and he took the shrimp closely to Lu’s mouth, and after showing it off, Fang threw it into his own mouth, saying naughtily while blinking his eyes, “Wow, yummy.”
Lu raised his lips, and kissed Fang while holding up his head with one hand. After kissing, Lu said enjoyably, “Yes, yummy indeed!”
Fang’s ears got red at once.
Noticing from the corner of his eyes that the figure got stiff, Lu was contented, and said to Fang, “One more.”
The man walked up before Fang could open his mouth.
Lu Yanxing’s face looked terribly gloomy, and it seemed that he was burning with anger. Looking at Fang first, and then at Lu Yanzhou, Lu Yanxing finally opened his mouth, “Take him home for the weekend.”
As soon as he finished his words, he turned around to leave like it would be a torture to stay even one more second.
Fang was confused, “Mr. Lu, your family agreed?”
Seeing his elder brother leave, Lu felt comfortable all over. He took a mouthful of soup slowly, and said, “Well, the news has attracted so much attention in the past few days, and my family finally shows some concern.”
Fang lowered his head silently, and suddenly he suspected the reason why Lu hadn’t tried to reduce the attention of the hot topic on Weibo for a long time. Whether Lu had intended to help him, or the guy actually just wanted his family to compromise. Just as Han Jiayue had said yesterday, Lu didn’t lack the ability to suppress the news, and he probably didn’t care about whether Fang might be affected by the news or not.
Being in a good mood now, Lu actively shelled a shrimp, and put it into Fang’s bowl. Fang poked the shrimp sullenly, and asked Lu, “Then when should I meet your family?”
Lu smiled, “Well, you really regard yourself as my boyfriend?”
Fang paused in a trance. How could he almost forget the fact that he was just a false boyfriend?
