Song Yujin did not expect Song Ci to use this matter as a teaching opportunity. He silently lowered his head and continued reading his book.

Song Ci smiled and patted his head.

“Good boy. By the way, where’s the present your brother-in-law gave you? Can I take a look?”

Song Yujin went to open a drawer and handed the small box to Song Ci.

Song Ci opened it and found a small jade pendant shaped like a pepper. The texture was superb. It was also clear and bright. Clearly, it was worth a lot.

She asked, “It’s beautiful. Do you like it?”

Song Yujin had no attachments to this jade pendant, nor did he have any desire for materialistic things. Still, he was grateful for Lu Gan’s kindness. He nodded and replied, “I do.”

“That’s great.”

Song Ci returned the jade pendant to him.

Song Yujin took the pendant and placed it back into the box. Then, he stored it in the drawer again. He had no intention of wearing it.

“You’re not going to wear it?” asked Song Ci.

Song Yujin thought to himself for a moment before looking at his sister.

“Do I have to wear it?”

“Not really… It’s fine if you don’t want to wear it.”

Song Yujin looked at the small box in front of him. In the end, he closed the drawer. He was afraid of losing it. This was his first gift from Lu Gan. It was also the first time he had received such a warm welcome after moving into a new place. So, he wanted to take good care of it.

Song Ci did not interfere with his decision. Once they had finished talking, she went back to her room.

When Lu Gan came out of the shower, he saw his fiancée reading “The Self-cultivation Of An Actor” with great interest.

“You’re done? It’s my turn.”

Song Ci looked at Lu Gan from the corner of her eyes.

“Okay,” replied Lu Gan calmly.

Song Ci got up and went to take a shower.

Lu Gan returned to the bed and began thinking, ‘How do I get her to perform for me?’

He could not say that he wanted to see her acting skills again, right? After pondering for a long time, Lu Gan finally decided to hand Song Ci a book after she came out.

“What?”

Song Ci rubbed her hair with a towel. Then, she teased, “Are you asking me to tell you a bedtime story?”

Lu Gan said in a mild tone, “I just want you to perform one of the parts.”

Song Ci did not understand. Why did he like to watch her act so much?

Lu Gan felt a little guilty.

“Why? Is there a problem?”

“Are you…”

Song Ci walked closer to the man.

Lu Gan’s back immediately straightened up.

“My fan?”

“???”

“Why else would you ask me to perform for you every day? One might think that you’re unable to sleep without watching my performance.”

“…”

“I’m your future boss. Isn’t it normal for me to keep track of your performance?”

“Is it normal?”

Song Ci looked doubtful.

“You’ve watched it four times, right? Why do you still need to keep checking?”

Lu Gan’s expression did not change.

“It’s because I’m a meticulous person.”

Song Ci said helplessly, “Then you’re too meticulous. If you check your employees randomly every day, they will be inclined to quit.”

Lu Gan chuckled.

“I’m not doing random check-ups on others. Even if you leave your job, you still have to be tested by me.”

Song Ci replied earnestly, “Is it too late for me to pack my luggage and leave now?”

Lu Gan smiled and shook his head. He pinched her face and said, “I’m sorry. It’s too late, darling.”

He looked at Song Ci’s angry face and picked up the towel that was covering her hair. Then, he happily wiped her damp hair.

“Why don’t you use a hairdryer?”

“I don’t like it.”

After Song Ci said that, she sat on the bed and let Lu Gan dry her hair.

Lu Gan glanced at her and commented, “You’re just lazy. Aren’t you an actress? Shouldn’t you keep up your appearances?”

“My hair is thick. It’s tiring to blowdry it.”

Song Ci retorted.

Once Lu Gan was almost done drying her hair, Song Ci opened the book that he had handed her earlier. She raised her eyebrows and asked, “Which part did you want me to act out?”

Lu Gan put away the towel and touched her hair. Seeing that it was not as wet as before, he lowered his head and read the book.

He casually pointed to a section and said, “This part. I watched this scene a few days ago, but I felt like the actress was not very good. Why don’t you give it a try? I want to see if your acting skills are better than hers.”

“Okay.”

Song Ci was helpless.

Lu Gan watched as she sat beside him and read the book seriously. Her fair skin was like top-quality suet jade. Since she had just taken a shower, her face was a little red. She looked really pure and attractive. Her red lips were bright and alluring and her pajamas exposed half of her collarbone. Subconsciously, he wanted to see the contents inside…

However, Lu Gan hurriedly averted his gaze. He leaned against the headboard of the bed and gazed at the night sky outside the window…
