When Deng Ling returned home, she was so exhausted that she collapsed onto the sofa. "There's money in the drawer. If you want something to eat, go buy it yourself."
Liu Tingke didn't move. He sat across from her, his expression serious. "That man is not suitable for you."
Deng Ling was so tired that she was nearly asleep and didn't hear his words. Liu Tingke shook her awake and said again, "That pretty boy, he’s not sincere with you!"
Deng Ling's expression darkened. She wouldn't allow anyone to slander Qi Yang. "Liu Tingke, what nonsense are you talking? If you don't understand, just keep quiet. Do you know what a pretty boy is? It's someone like you!"
Isn't it common courtesy to say something nice when someone helps you?
It seemed Liu Tingke had hit a nerve; his expression turned strange, but he remained stubborn. "That man has a frivolous gaze; he’s clearly a playboy. Only you would be so infatuated!"
"So what if I am infatuated? I'm going to marry him! You have no say in this!" Deng Ling was furious, her anger boiling over. She was exhausted and wished he would just stop being so annoying.
"You... you're unreasonable!" Liu Tingke was exasperated. "If you end up suffering later, don’t blame the heavens!"
Deng Ling glared at him fiercely; who curses someone like that?
Liu Tingke said, "I've never seen anyone so unrepentant as you!"
She had never seen anyone like him either... Deng Ling deliberately provoked him. "I’m unrepentant! If you don’t want to see me, then move out! Just go; the front door is right there!"
Liu Tingke stared at her in disbelief before silently turning around and retreating back to his room.
Without money and a place to stay, one can only be bullied! Liu Tingke finally understood that he needed to make money and turn his life around!
Before Liu Tingke successfully turned his life around, he first experienced the sorrow of being a male servant.
Deng Ling seemed to be taking revenge on him, brazenly treating him as cheap labor. Whenever she went shopping, she would drag him along as her pack mule, stuffing all sorts of bags and packages into his hands.
“Are you unhappy coming out with me?” Deng Ling glared at him, as if she were doing him a favor. If it weren't for Qi Yang being busy, she wouldn't even bother!
Liu Tingke's mouth twitched slightly. “Not at all!” How could he dare? This shrewd, petty woman!
Noticing someone following them from behind, Deng Ling lowered her voice and asked, “That person is looking this way. Is he looking at me?”
Liu Tingke couldn't help but retort, “... Miss, you really are full of yourself.”
“Hmph, I don't believe it!” To prevent Liu Tingke from feeling smug, Deng Ling initiated her first active flirtation in life. The man smiled kindly, but his gaze was fixed on Liu Tingke like a predator eyeing its prey. He handed over a business card: “Sir, I am a Talent Scout from Tian Cheng Entertainment. Would you like to develop your career with us?”
Deng Ling was momentarily stunned. This man was a Talent Scout? He had his sights set on Liu Tingke!
Fuming, she turned away and pulled Liu Tingke along: “This guy is a fraud; ignore him!”
The Talent Scout quickly produced his work credentials. Deng Ling's expression became complicated; she never expected that Liu Tingke's delicate appearance would catch the eye of a Talent Scout! Liu Tingke leaned closer to her ear and whispered, “What’s this about?”
“It’s just for commercials or TV shows; it’s very easy and pays well!” As she spoke the last sentence, her tone involuntarily carried a hint of bitterness. Why didn’t she have such luck?
The Talent Scout said with great anticipation, "I think your voice is quite good. We will definitely package you well!"
Liu Tingke hesitated a bit, "Um, how much can I earn?"
After Deng Ling explained things to him, he roughly understood what this was all about. Generally speaking, he was not keen on making a fool of himself or exposing himself to public scrutiny. But now, which was more degrading: relying on his looks or depending on a woman?
Especially since the woman supporting him was a dim-witted and unscrupulous person, not to mention a petty individual who held grudges...
The Talent Scout assumed he was intrigued and hurriedly quoted, "Compared to other companies, our offer for newcomers is among the highest."
Liu Tingke frowned. If he could earn some money, he could leave Deng Ling's cramped and crowded place and wouldn’t have to see that face that could drive anyone mad... This was indeed a difficult decision...
Seeing his reluctance, the Talent Scout thought he was dissatisfied and raised the offer again and again...
