Chapter 5

Sending flowers, giving gifts, and providing a private car service, Huang Hanwei's affection for Zhao Yazhi was very evident, and such warm gestures were indeed likely to touch a girl's heart.

Moreover, Huang Hanwei came from a good family, and his job as a doctor was also very respectable in Hong Kong. Many people even thought that this job was much better than being an actor. To many people from good families, actors were just performers.

Zhao Yazhi's parents were also quite satisfied with Huang Hanwei, otherwise, they wouldn't have introduced and married their daughter to him.

Seeing Huang Hanwei becoming increasingly attentive to Zhao Yazhi, and noticing that her attitude towards him was gradually improving, Wu Cheng's brows furrowed slightly.

Taking advantage of Huang Hanwei's trip to the restroom, Wu Cheng asked Zhao Yazhi in a low voice, "Sis Zhao, have you really decided to be his girlfriend?"

Zhao Yazhi was slightly taken aback by this, but then she smiled, "You little rascal, why are you meddling in grown-up matters? Don't tell me you understand love at your age!"

Wu Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "Sis Zhao, don't underestimate me. Even if I haven't eaten pork, I've seen pigs run! What's there not to understand? But I don't think it's a good match for you!"

As soon as Wu Cheng finished speaking, he was lightly flicked on the forehead. Zhao Yazhi scolded, "You little brat, are you cursing Sis Zhao? You ungrateful little thing, I've been so nice to you!"

"Sis Zhao, don't be angry! Let me analyze it for you!"

"Wow, you really think you're a master now, don't you!"

"I'm serious. First, he has a strong sense of machismo. If you date him, he won't let you continue acting. And given his family background, even if he agrees, his family won't. This isn't a joke. In our place, many elders look down on actors, thinking they're just performers... Of course, I don't like this old-fashioned thinking. What's wrong with being an actor? They don't steal or rob, right!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yazhi's brows furrowed slightly.

Seeing her expression, Wu Cheng knew his words were having an effect. So he continued, "Second, you should be able to see that his temper is quick to flare. A small matter can lead to an argument, and he might even resort to physical violence, not knowing his own strength. I'm worried that if you two really start a family, there might be domestic violence."

"As for the third... um, cough, let's eat..."

At this moment, Huang Hanwei had returned, so Wu Cheng couldn't continue his "poisoning" in front of him. But seeing Zhao Yazhi frown and look at Huang Hanwei with suspicion, Wu Cheng knew his words had taken effect.

"Hanwei, if, I mean if..." When Huang Hanwei sat down, Zhao Yazhi asked, "If we get together, will you support me in continuing to act?"

Huang Hanwei was taken aback for a moment, then he said happily, "Yazhi, you're agreeing to me?"

"Answer my question first!"

"Ha ha, since we're together, I'll naturally be the one to support the family. Why should you continue acting? It's so tiring!" Huang Hanwei laughed lightly. "After we get married and have children, you should stay home and take care of the kids, be a wealthy housewife, and enjoy life!"

Hearing this, the corners of Wu Cheng's mouth curled up. He looked at Zhao Yazhi and raised his eyebrows, as if to say, "See, I told you so!"

Seeing Wu Cheng's expression, Zhao Yazhi gave him a playful glare.

This made Huang Hanwei look at Wu Cheng with suspicion. Wu Cheng smiled, grabbed a napkin, and wiped his mouth. "You two chat, I'll go to the restroom!"

After Wu Cheng left, Huang Hanwei said, "Yazhi, did this kid say anything bad about me?"

Zhao Yazhi shook her head directly. "Why would you think that? Chengzi is a good person! He's very gentle, he wouldn't say bad things about anyone!"

Lying like this, Zhao Yazhi felt her face heat up.

At this moment, a waiter came over with a cup of coffee. As he approached their table, he stumbled, and the coffee spilled out.

Huang Hanwei saw this and instinctively dodged, but the coffee still splashed onto his leather shoes. His face darkened immediately.

"Can't you watch where you're going! Do you know how much these shoes cost? You couldn't even afford them if you sold yourself. What if it had spilled on me? Call your manager out here..."

"Hanwei, let it go! It's just wet, it can be wiped off!"

"Hmph! This time, for your sake, I'll let it go. Get lost!"

"What girlfriend? I haven't agreed yet! I need to think about it carefully!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yazhi frowned and directly refused.

This made Huang Hanwei feel a surge of anger.

At this moment, Wu Cheng secretly handed a hundred-dollar Hong Kong bill to the waiter.

...

"Sis Zhao, I was right, wasn't I?"

After the meal, Zhao Yazhi politely declined Huang Hanwei's offer to see her off. Watching him drive away, Wu Cheng smiled and asked Zhao Yazhi.

Zhao Yazhi frowned and looked at Wu Cheng. "Chengzi, did you tell someone to do that?"

"What do you mean, tell someone to do that?"

"You know what I'm talking about!"

"Alright, alright! I admit it, the waiter was my doing, and I taught him to do it." Under Zhao Yazhi's serious gaze, Wu Cheng couldn't lie anymore. He then said seriously, "Sis Zhao, I know it was wrong of me! They say it's better to destroy a temple than to break up a marriage, but it depends on the situation! Knowing that guy isn't good, if I just watched you be with him, what kind of person would I be? Wouldn't I be watching you jump into a fire? Ignoring it and not helping would be even worse than adding to the trouble!"

Seeing Wu Cheng's serious and solemn expression, Zhao Yazhi suddenly smiled and lightly flicked his forehead. "I didn't expect you to have so many big ideas for such a young age. Who taught you all this? You know quite a lot! And you have plenty of tricks up your sleeve!"

"Hehe, Sis Zhao, you're not angry with me?"

"You're doing it for my own good, why would I be angry?"

"Then what about earlier?"

"Earlier, I was really angry! Sis Zhao doesn't want you to use these schemes at such a young age; it's not cute at all!" Zhao Yazhi glared at him. She thought to herself, "This kid is so young, but he has so many tricks. If I don't scare him a bit, he'll run wild in the future!"

"Then are you not going to marry him?"

"Why are you asking so many questions?"

"I... I'm just concerned about you!"

"You should be more concerned about yourself! After the summer, I'll send you to school. Your brain is quite capable, it would be a waste if you don't use it for good things!"

"..."

Feeling depressed, Wu Cheng followed Zhao Yazhi back to their place. He proudly showed her his morning's work, a 20,000-word novel, a small stack of pages.

"What is this?"

"Take a look first!"

"You wrote this? Your handwriting is so bad!"

"I'm not familiar with the characters here! In the mainland, we use simplified characters, and I'm still getting used to the traditional ones here..."

After a few glances, Zhao Yazhi giggled, "Little Orange, what kind of brain do you have? How did you come up with such a story? Nine generations of kindness, that's too easy!"

"Hehe, that's what makes it funny! Sis Zhao, keep reading!"

Wu Cheng didn't mind Zhao Yazhi calling him "Little Orange." He had been called this nickname for "a lifetime" in his previous life and was already immune to it.

...

"Giggle, this Han Youniang is too weak! She was so easily moved..."

"Sis, you have to understand, women in that era were not like modern women. It was the Ming Dynasty, the era of Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism! Who had ever seen a man treat a woman so well?"

"That makes sense!" Zhao Yazhi nodded and then said, "I wonder what's in your little head! How did you come up with such a story?"

"Sis, tell me first, is the story good? I based Han Youniang's character on you!"

"Do I really have that much goodness?" Zhao Yazhi's face turned slightly red, but she quickly changed the subject. "But the story is good, even though it's not a martial arts novel, it's still quite engaging. How did you think of writing a novel?"

"Writing novels can make money!" Wu Cheng said frankly. "I have hands and feet, I can't keep relying on Sis Zhao! If I find my relatives, that's one thing, but if I don't, I can't keep living with Sis Zhao!"

"What? Living with your sister is beneath you? Great writer!"

"Sis Zhao, you know that's not what I meant!" Wu Cheng sat next to her and snuggled into her arms. Zhao Yazhi, seeing his young age, didn't think much of it and held him without hesitation.

Wu Cheng inhaled her fragrance, feeling intoxicated, and then looked up and smiled, "I'd love to stay with Sis Zhao forever! But even if Sis Zhao doesn't mind, your family would blame me for ruining their daughter's happiness. With me as a burden, how could Sis Zhao date anyone?"

"You're a little rascal!" Zhao Yazhi lightly flicked his forehead and laughed, "Let it be!"

"Sis Zhao, do you think my novel can be published?"

"Try it and see!" Zhao Yazhi smiled lightly. "Tomorrow, I'll take it to Mr. Cha of Ming Pao to have a look..."

"Ming Pao... Sis Zhao, you know Mr. Jin Yong?"

"I've met him once, but we're not close. But Mr. Cha has a good relationship with Sir Run Run Shaw of TVB. Even if he doesn't do it for me, he might do it for Sir Shaw! By the way, how much do you want for the manuscript?"

"That's not up to me to decide!"

"You're right! Don't worry, I'll negotiate a price that will satisfy you. I won't let your efforts go to waste!"

"Sis Zhao, I heard Mr. Cha is quite stingy, is that true?"

"It depends on the relationship! If he's close to someone, he'll be stingy, but if he's not, he won't let them lose out."

"He's quite a peculiar person!"

"You think so too! Giggle, I think so too!"

"Ha ha..."
