Chapter 688: Chapter 682: Sweet Extras—Husband and Wife on Variety Show 167
Ai Yiqing also looked bewildered and shocked as she glanced at Shi Su, then at the man with a calm yet slightly frowning stern face.
Clearly, Jing Jihan didn’t want to participate in this inexplicable familial bonding.
Of course, Ai Yiqing didn’t dare to call him that.
She swallowed: "Uh, Shi Su... Mr. Jing is after all Mr. Jing, I better..."
"No worries, just call him brother-in-law from now on." Shi Su waved her hand in a grand manner.
Ai Yiqing wasn’t exactly uneasy; if Shi Su told her to call him that, she’d certainly go along with it, but a glance at Jing Jihan’s obviously non-accommodating gaze stopped her.
Even though Jing Jihan didn’t show overt indifference, his expressionless face carried an unmistakable air of distance.
In the end, Ai Yiqing didn’t call him brother-in-law; instead, Ami just returned with condiments, telling Ai Yiqing to hurry over.
Ai Yiqing took the chance to slip away.
My idol and I got along so well that she even wanted me to be her sister.
This kind of scenario, which Ai Yiqing had never imagined in her dreams, had just played out, and she needed some time to digest the excitement she hadn’t dared to fully express.
Seeing her run off, Xv Qingqing, sitting at the table, said: "Mr. Jing, you have no idea. Shi Su and Ai Yiqing chatted and found each other quite congenial. Shi Su isn’t the type to act high and mighty. She knows the other genuinely likes her, just like how Ami has been a hardcore fan of Wei Sinan for years. Shi Su is known for being quite doting on her fans. Now that they’re coworkers and fans, how could she not look after her? They chatted and got this close suddenly, and you happened to walk in on their discussion about what to call each other."
Jing Jihan glanced at Shi Su, her hand still looped through his arm, his freshly showered scent lingering near her nose.
Just now, his gaze at others was cold and distant, but when he glanced at her, it was the familiar calm and serene look she knew.
Shi Su secretly gave him a look, meaning to ask why he just scared the young girl away.
Jing Jihan released her hand, poured warm water into her half-empty glass, and said in a deep, soft voice only she could hear: "I’m not interested in being someone else’s brother-in-law."
Shi Su: "Fans just have a love for anything related, including you, but they won’t do anything useless."
"In the end, they’re colleagues too, keep boundaries in mind." Jing Jihan placed the glass in front of her with just the right amount of sound, gently reminding her.
Shi Su paused.
Then said no more.
Indeed, in this circle, no matter how pure the connection is initially, if it isn’t purely a fan relationship but a layer of colleague relationship exists, who knows if later on conflicts might arise due to other collaborations?
It’s not uncommon for best friends to end up in conflicts.
Jing Jihan saw that she genuinely liked the young girl, Ai Yiqing, and wanted to be friends and happily record the show together.
But perhaps because Ai Yiqing had been a loyal fan, Shi Su couldn’t help but feel less distant than usual, for in her heart, fan love indeed supported her through some tough times.
But ultimately, Ai Yiqing, however simple, is still a colleague in this circle.
Nothing is eternally unchanging.
Shi Su calmly absorbed Jing Jihan’s reminder, took a sip from the glass, then blinked at him, whispering: "I wonder if our second baby will be able to handle you being such a rational and stern father."
