The Goddess is Sweet and Aloof-Chapter 1002 - 1000

"I’ll take the role, and you can negotiate the salary with them. And just remember, I’m not exactly a hotshot actress in M Country, so it might be better to accommodate the production team when it comes to my fee."

"My dear, we really do think alike." Weini had actually wanted to remind her of this, since she’s an A-lister domestically, but her popularity in M Country has waned considerably.

After all, Qiao Xiaren hadn’t been active in M Country for two years, and the turnover in the entertainment industry there is quite rapid; as a foreign actress, she’s even more prone to being forgotten. Most importantly, Qiao Xiaren doesn’t have much of a portfolio in M Country.

Now, being a foreigner in another country, everything is still challenging.

Lin Wenbin glanced at his watch: "It’s about time; let’s go out for a meal first."

Qiao Xiaren stood up: "Sounds good, need to eat to have the energy to work."

It’s noon in M Country, but in S Country, it’s already midnight. Qiao Xiaren was a bit surprised receiving a call from Si Limo at this hour; what was he up to? freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Calling at midnight; doesn’t he need to sleep?

"Have you eaten?" Si Limo’s voice sounded somewhat hoarse as if tired, not sure what he’d been through today.

"About to eat, why aren’t you sleeping?" Qiao Xiaren’s tone softened considerably, and Weini could tell from her demeanor that she was speaking to her little lover.

Sigh, he missed his little lover too. But then he thought about the fact that it was midnight, and that little imp was surely asleep by now; best not to disturb her.

"I was waiting to call you, and since you’re about to eat, let’s not video chat."

"Go to sleep early, staying up is bad for you."

"Are you disgusted with me now? We’ve barely spoken and you’re already thinking of hanging up." His voice came through slightly aggrieved, "That’s just how people are, they don’t cherish what they have. You don’t ever call me from M Country."

Qiao Xiaren: "..."

What is he even saying?

It’s simply because there’s a big time difference between S Country and M Country, they could hardly find a normal time to call or video chat, and Xiaren didn’t want him to stay up late for her.

"When I arrived it was just 8 in the morning for me, and so late for you, I thought you were asleep, so I didn’t disturb you. You’re not allowed to sleep this late from now on, go to bed. It’s not that I don’t care about you, the time difference is just too big."

Si Limo hummed in response, wondering if he should find the opportunity to visit her. New York is such a bustling place; there are all sorts of temptations, and he also missed his little treasure terribly.

In reality, the most honest thought is you’re worried about fire, burglary, and especially me, right?

"Okay, I’m going to sleep; eat soon, and if anything happens, call Qiao Zhi." Si Limo reminded her, "The safety situation isn’t great in New York; everyone is allowed to have a gun. Qiao Zhi is close to you, so if there’s anything unsafe outside your door, just call him, and he’ll be there immediately, you don’t have to worry about what he might be doing at that time."

Qiao Zhi: QAQ

Does this mean I’m not being treated as a person?

"Alright," Qiao Xiaren laughed softly, her voice even gentler, "Go to sleep, it’s past midnight; don’t end up with panda eyes."

In the Capital of S Country,

Si Limo lay on the bed, gazing out of the window at the night view, the gentle ripples of the city lights reflecting in his eyes: "Okay, I’m going to sleep."

After ending the call, he kissed the photo of the person on his phone screen and finally went to sleep, feeling at ease.

Meanwhile, Weini couldn’t help but tease Qiao Xiaren about ending her call, only to be met with a glare from her: "Go gossip about your own little lover!"
