Chapter 1367 - 1367 A Year Later

1367 A Year Later

A bleak apology also expressed Jian Ai’s current state of mind.

If not for her true feelings at this moment, Jian Ai would not have thought that the person she was most reluctant to part with was Ji Haoyu.

The power of love was so wonderful that it connected two parallel hearts.

Fortunately, Ji Haoyu quickly calmed down. The impact of reality only stunned him for a moment. No matter what, Ji haoyu knew he had to give Jian Ai an answer.

Since she had asked, she should get an answer.

Feeling Jian Ai’s guilt, Ji Haoyu’s heart ached for her. Unless necessary, she would not leave.

Therefore, Ji Haoyu believed immediately that Jian Ai had a reason to leave.

Raising his hand, he pulled Jian Ai’s hand that was wrapped around his neck. Ji Haoyu pulled gently, and Jian Ai sat on his thigh.

Jian Ai did not resist. She only stared at Ji Haoyu’s face with her starry eyes, and he hugged her tightly.

“So you confirmed your relationship with me before leaving because you wanted to detain me as an attached man and restrict me while you were away?”

As soon as he spoke, Ji Haoyu said this.

Jian Ai thought Ji Haoyu would say something heavy and sad. Instead, it was a teasing and even sentimental sentence.

Jian Ai came back to her senses and looked at Ji Haoyu hesitantly. “You… you’re not angry at me?”

Ji Haoyu smiled and leaned his face slightly closer. In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he asked, “If I’m angry, can you not leave?”

“I…”

Jian Ai opened her mouth, but before she could finish, Ji Haoyu kissed her.

Jian Ai received the move in a panic, but Ji Haoyu had already impatiently pried open her lips. This kiss was deep, and it was as suffocating as the end of the world. However, Jian Ai knew that this was Ji Haoyu’s reluctance to part with her.

After a while, Ji Haoyu slowly ended the kiss. He pressed his forehead against hers and said in a rough tone, “If you can’t, why should I be angry?”

For some reason, looking at Ji Haoyu pretending to be relaxed and strong, Jian Ai’s eyes stung, and a crystal-like tear fell.

Ji Haoyu’s face turned cold. He kissed the falling tear and whispered, “Don’t cry. I’m fine.”

“Ji Haoyu…”

Jian Ai felt like a fishbone was stuck in her throat, but she couldn’t say anything.

She would rather Ji Haoyu be angry or ask her why than let him be like this. He was clearly sad, but he said that he was fine.

How could he be fine? Because he loved her, how could it not matter?

“Go…” Ji Haoyu pulled Jian Ai into his arms and said gently, “Whether it’s a year and a half, three to five years, I’ll live well as your boyfriend and wait for you to come back.”

This was the answer to Jian Ai’s question.

He would wait for her to come back, no matter how long it took.

…

Two days later, Jian Ai left Baiyun City with Si Yue with no one sending her off!

Half a month later, the students’ final examinations ended and winter break arrived.

The last issue of the year for the Germinal Magazine, with Jian Yiyi and Yuan Guang as the cover characters, was still popular among junior and high school students in the country. Jian Yiyi relied on her outstanding appearance to quickly become famous, causing quite a commotion among the youth group chasing celebrities. She created a miracle in the entertainment circle where she became famous before her drama was broadcasted. Advertisements came like snow.

However, although Jian Yiyi became famous overnight, she could not stop Xia Qinghuan’s advancement. During the winter break, the Wenquxing and Guoyou fountain pen advertisements that Xia Qinghuan endorsed were broadcasted. In addition, with the icing on the cake of the popular drama ‘There Will Be an Angel Who Loves You on My Behalf,’ her popularity in the country soared. Xia Qinghuan’s advertisements could be seen everywhere at various bus stops and shopping malls.

In the end, the reason Xia Qinghuan became a famous actress was that when she signed with Rose Entertainment, the company’s publicity department released the news of the international brand endorsement promised in the contract in advance.

The first Asian spokesperson of the famous international trendy brand BY instantly raised Xia Qinghuan’s status by more than a level, pulling her away from the newcomers of the same batch.

The two most famous newcomers at the end of the year were naturally Xia Qinghuan and Jian Yiyi. The two of them belonged to Rose Entertainment, which gradually entered the public eye.

However, this was nothing because at the end of the year, explosive news broke in the entertainment circle. “Yun Buyao disbanded her studio and signed with Rose Entertainment at an astronomical price!”

No one knew the reason, nor did anyone know what method Rose Entertainment had used to persuade Yun Buyao to join them. This was because Rose Entertainment was not the only entertainment company that could offer an astronomical price. They had never seen Yun Buyao fall for any company.

After more than half a year of renovation, Wang Yunmei and Jian Yu moved into their new home before the end of the year. Yaochi’s performance in the second half of the year reached a new record under Wang Yumei’s hard work. Compared to the first half of the same year, it was forty percentage points more. The Ji Group praised Wang Yunzhi at the annual meeting and rewarded her with one percent of the Ji Group’s shares!

With the rise of Rose Entertainment, Jian Yu was so busy every day that he disappeared. Ji Haoxue could only find an opportunity to see him and confess bravely before New Year’s Eve. Unfortunately, Jian Yu rejected her seriously!

During the company’s year-end physical examination, Jiang Chunfen realized she was already three weeks pregnant. After learning this, Qiao Yuan successfully proposed to her with the help of Wang Zichen, Wang Zimeng, Wang Yunzhi, and Wang Yunmei.

Wang Yunzhi was also successfully promoted to the assistant manager of the finance department.

Other than Muse Bar, Bai Zhou found three other bars with potential and handed them to Yao Feng to manage!

After the Jian Group looked for East Sea Real Estate for South City’s reconstruction project but was rejected, they chose Lu Youcai’s Hongxiang Group as their project partner.

…

A year later…

Baiyun City’s Interstellar Building was noisy. Luxury cars were gathered!

A red carpet led straight to the road at the main entrance of the building. There were guardrails on both sides of the red carpet, and reporters and fans holding posters were surrounding the guardrails.

This year’s charity banquet was held in Baiyun City’s Interstellar Building. This charity banquet had always been a gathering of stars. Every year, the charity income was over ten million yuan.

For such a charismatic and meaningful entertainment circle gathering, those who could be invited were all famous celebrities. If many second- and third-tier celebrities wanted to come, they would have to spend some effort.

“Yiyi, the car is here. Let’s hurry!”

In the dressing room, her assistant, Xiao Tong, came in for the third time to urge her.

It had to be said that Jian Yiyi had thrived in the entertainment circle this year. With the resources the company had fought for her, she became famous. Now, she had a shocking number of fans in China and was a rising star.

As she had hoped, other than her manager, the company had also assigned two assistants and an exclusive stylist to her. Back then, she was envious of Xia Qinghuan’s extravagance, but now she finally got her wish!
