Chapter 669: Chapter 669: It’s Like Betting with Someone_1
Without certain capabilities and maneuvering, how can one succeed?
Yet, the impression Lin Xinxin gives is one of kindness without ulterior motives…
Lin Xinxin smiled shyly, responding, “Since you’re so outstanding, I naturally have to work hard, otherwise wouldn’t I fall too far behind?”
“But you’re too impressive, beyond what I imagined,” Chai Xiyang said, feigning discouragement.
“Oh? Is it not okay that I’m outstanding?” Lin Xinxin countered.
Yes, it’s really good. Whether it’s a man or a woman, the more outstanding, the better.
...
Initially, he was fond of her because she was both kind-hearted and exceptional.
But why doesn’t it feel the same as what he imagined now?
Perhaps he’s overthinking it.
After dinner, Chai Xiyang first dropped off Lin Xinxin at her home, and it was already late when he returned to his house.
Upon entering the living room, he noticed his father watching international news.
“Dad, still not going to bed?” Chai Xiyang asked casually.
Restating the question, his father asked, “Did you go on a date with Miss Lin?”
“Just had dinner together.”
“Invite her to our house for dinner next weekend.”
Chai Xiyang was about to ask why, then he suddenly remembered, next weekend was his father’s birthday.
In a blink of an eye, his father was already over 60 years old.
“Okay, I will inform her.” Chai Xiyang agreed.
His father added, “Notify Qiao Ning too, on second thought, I can call her myself.”
“It’s not convenient to contact her now, she’s out of town. I will notify her,” Chai Xiyang said impulsively.
Chai’s father nodded, “Alright, you do it.”
After saying this, he yawned, emanating an air of exhaustion. Chai Xiyang then urged him to rest. His father did not refuse. He stood up and went upstairs, mumbling along the way, “Ah, I really am getting old, my vigor from youth has faded…”
By now, he was essentially retired and didn’t work much, yet, he still felt tired.
After spending a lifetime struggling, despite only being over 60 years old, he felt as if his body had been hollowed out, lacking the energy he had few years ago.
Watching his father’s retreating figure, Chai Xiyang felt somewhat poignant.
He then also returned to his room, and after taking a shower, he dialed Qiao Ning’s number on his phone.
Qiao Ning, at this time, had just finished working with the filming crew.
Upon her return to her room, while eating takeout, she received a call from Chai Xiyang.
Qiao Ning was puzzled, unsure of why he was calling.
“Hello, what do you need?” As soon as she picked up, she asked.
Chai Xiyang flatly said, “My father’s birthday is next week, he wants you to come!”
“Oh, okay!” Qiao Ning promptly agreed. She certainly had to return for Uncle Chai’s birthday.
Chai Xiyang had said what he intended to and ought to have hung up, but couldn’t help asking, “How is the film set progressing?”
“It’s going smoothly; we’re making quick progress every day. Is there anything else?” Qiao Ning asked in return, as if she wasn’t too keen on the conversation.
“Never mind!” and with that, Chai Xiyang hung up the phone, as if to spite someone.
On the other end, Qiao Ning was a bit bewildered, but she didn’t dwell on it and continued eating.
Now, her days were quite fulfilling. Apart from discussing plots with scriptwriters and learning from Director Chen, she also acted as a gofer, always busy like a spinning top.
But she was happy every day because she was doing what she loved.

After dinner, Qiao Ning hurried to clean up and rest. There was a crucial scene scheduled for filming tomorrow!
