Chapter 185: Chapter 185 Silence of the Three People

Chapter 185 -185 Silence of the Three People

Even Ming Yuan, a young lady of such status, still had to marry for the sake of her family’s alliance.

The partner arranged for her by the Ming Family was the eldest young master of the Jingzhou Su Family, Su Ting, who was also the older brother of the male lead in Ming Yuan’s film, Su Chenlei.

Lu Xining quietly listened to her story.

She had some impression of the Su family, who had built their fortune on a film and television company, with many artists signed under them.

Unlike Ming Yuan, who concealed her identity to enter the industry, Su Chenlei’s debut was through a highly anticipated work by a famed director, arranged by his brother Su Ting.

Even though he was just a supporting role, his character caught the audience’s eye, and he shot to fame overnight.

Ming Yuan got the role of the female lead in this movie purely based on the accumulation of good reviews for her works over the last five years.

The moment Lu Xining heard that Su Ting, for the sake of the company’s newly signed actress, Qin Xueyuan, had all of Ming Yuan’s standout scenes cut and transferred to Qin Xueyuan, her action of pouring tea halted, and her eyes suddenly turned cold.

Ming Yuan forced a smile, “That’s why I wrapped up my filming ahead of schedule.”

Lu Xining asked her, “Is that man Su Ting?”

She had always known that Ming Yuan held someone dear in her heart, having fled to a foreign country years ago due to heartache.

The two met abroad and thus formed the sisterly bond they shared now.

Ming Yuan didn’t answer, but Lu Xining understood it all.

If it weren’t for love, even if her parents from the Ming Family threatened her with a knife, Ming Yuan probably wouldn’t even blink.

“I’m in a bit of a hurry to find you because I need your help with something.”

Now that she and Su Ting had registered their marriage, there would inevitably be marital duties to fulfill, so Ming Yuan approached Lu Xining for birth control medication.

“Su Ting is my obsession. If I don’t give it my all, I won’t be able to let go. But I also don’t want any accidents.”

Marriage was one thing, but she had no intention of having children.

Lu Xining looked into her determined eyes, “I’ll have someone send it over tomorrow.”

Ming Yuan asked her back, “Ningning, don’t you think I’m being contradictory? Knowing he doesn’t love me, yet still marrying him, knowing it’s a trap, yet I still jump in. Doesn’t that sound foolish?”

In the world of love, what’s foolish and what’s not?

Hadn’t Lu Xining herself come to a realization after going through a marriage?

She tugged at the corner of her mouth, assuring Ming Yuan, “No matter what you want to do, I’ll always unconditionally stand by your side.”

Ming Yuan, who had been somewhat apprehensive, felt her wavering heart settle upon hearing Lu Xining’s words.

Soon, the waiter began serving the dishes.

As Lu Xining and Ming Yuan ate and talked, she learned more about Ming Yuan’s past with Su Ting.

It was probably a story of a girl’s unrequited love from her youth.

On Ming Yuan’s first day of university, Su Ting, as an outstanding alumnus, returned to give a lecture, and she fell for him at first sight.

Her major wasn’t in performing arts, but to get closer to Su Ting, she specifically hired an acting coach during her spare time, hoping to join the Su family’s entertainment company after graduation—a move designed to take advantage of proximity. But she was rejected.

“Do you know what his assessment of me was? A vase! And not even a pretty one at that!”

Lu Xining couldn’t help but laugh at her expression, realizing where Little Dumpling got her indignant face from.

“Now he’s got his comeuppance, having been forced by his family to marry me, this vase.”

Ming Yuan’s face flushed, the clarity fading from her eyes.

She stood up shakily, pointed at the room’s screen, and loudly proclaimed, “I will not rest until I’ve had Su Ting!”

“No, I have to go back now! I’m going to show this arrogant, blinded old man just how formidable this vase can be!”

“Once I’ve had enough of him, I’ll divorce him immediately and go support a young hunk!”

Lu Xining listened to her bold and brave words without attempting to stop her.

Meanwhile, at the doorway of the private room.

Su Ting, who happened to overhear Ming Yuan’s voice, paused in his steps, frowning as he looked toward the door of their room.

He had specially returned from overseas after wrapping up his work for today’s marriage registration with Ming Yuan.

He had wanted to have dinner with his new wife, but she said she already had plans and left him standing at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau before running off.

Who would have known that while having a meal with a good friend, I would hear the voice of my newlywed wife right here.

Ji Muye raised an eyebrow, his eyes sparkled with amusement beneath his composed features.

Su Ting: “…”

“Ningning, why am I so miserable? Su Ting is seven years older than me, they say there’s a generation gap every three years, boo hoo hoo, I’m actually separated by three generation gaps from him!”

Ming Yuan wept on her arm, growing more pitiful as she spoke, sobbing loudly: “They say men start declining after hitting 30.”

“Su Ting is already 34, he must be no good anymore, perhaps other women have already worn him out, boo hoo hoo, I really sold myself short.”

Su Ting’s face darkened upon hearing her words.

What nonsense is this woman spouting, who says men’s abilities decline after 30?

Moreover, he has always been chaste, focused on his career, never having more than a social distance relationship with other women.

She was clearly spreading rumors about him!

Su Ting could feel the mocking glances from his friends beside him, and through clenched teeth he spat out, “I’m damn fine!”

Ji Muye: “…Oh.”

Oh what?

Just as Su Ting was about to continue, he heard the two people inside move on to his good friend.

A drunk person has no sense of clarity, and Lu Xining could only placate her continuously, agreeing with her statements.

When Lu Xining heard Ming Yuan’s last sentence, her face stiffened, finding it difficult to respond.

“Ningning, you and Ji Muye also have a 7-year age gap, right?”

“When you married him, you were already 27, and it’s been five years since the marriage. Do you feel like his capabilities declined after he turned 30, that he was not performing as well?”

Lu Xining really didn’t want to recall the five years of their secret marriage.

Actually, by the fourth and fifth years, their marital life wasn’t as frequent either.

But every time Ji Muye did…

In order to confirm her own point of view was correct, Ming Yuan held her hand insistently, not ceasing until she got an answer that satisfied her.

“Ningning, I’m right, aren’t I? Men over 30 are no good anymore, yes or no?”

At this moment, Ming Yuan was so drunk she didn’t know up from down, and explaining anything to a drunk person was totally futile.

Lu Xining nodded along with her words, conceding, “Yes, yes, you’re absolutely right, let’s have some sobering soup, and I’ll take you home later.”

Ji Muye had already recognized Lu Xining’s voice by the time she had spoken earlier.

And Su Ting, upon hearing his friend’s name, raised an eyebrow and gave a meaningful glance at the thigh area.

He patted Ji Muye’s shoulder: “I didn’t expect it, brother.”

Ji Muye: “…” Ha!

Listening to the sounds of retching coming from inside, Su Ting’s heart tightened, and he quickly knocked on the door.

Hearing the noise, Lu Xining thought it was the staff bringing sobering soup, her attention fully on Ming Yuan, she didn’t even lift her head and said, “Come in.”

Ji Muye wasn’t planning to go in and disturb Su Ting picking up his wife, but knowing that Lu Xining was inside, he followed Su Ting and strode in.

Inside the quaint private room.

Ming Yuan was dry heaving, and Lu Xining was patting her back, saying, “Bring over the sobering soup, please.”

A sharp, focused gaze fell upon her, and Lu Xining turned her head to meet Ji Muye’s cold eyes.

Hearing the commotion, Ming Yuan looked up and saw Su Ting with his forbidding expression, frowning she said, “Ningning, I think I see that old man Su Ting.”

She blinked her eyes, shook her head and stood up saying: “Oh, and there’s your ex-husband who can’t perform.”

Lu Xining: “…”

Su Ting: “…”

Ji Muye: “…”
