The Film Emperor's Secretly Married Wife Ch. 9

But it wasn't a big deal—it ended in a breakup, and from a certain perspective, her mother's point of view was right.

The next day, Qi Zhen rushed to her dance class, still on time, even though she was just learning as a hobby now. However, Luo Linzhen still enrolled her in the best dance school, where several of her classmates were people from the same circle who dealt with Fang Minyi.

Since it was a bit late the night before, Qi Zhen didn't forget to call her grandma the next morning before changing into her dance shoes. She only rushed because she feared forgetting if she delayed. Plus, her grandma woke up early, so it wouldn't disturb her at this hour.

Even though her parents were divorced, Qi Zhen was still very close to her grandma. It was her grandma who raised her while her father was busy with research and her mother worked hard. As a daughter, she was practically a burden, but her grandma pampered her, giving her warmth and the joy of childhood.

Her grandma gently coughed and reproached her, "Zhen Zhen, you child, it's been days since you called me. Next time you come home, I'll cook for you, your favorite rice wine shrimp. You need to listen to me, your dad keeps saying you make people worry."

Qi Zhen sighed slightly, "I've been busy lately, and the horror novel I've been writing isn't going well. It's frustrating."

Her grandma immediately stopped complaining, "It's fine, if you can't write, then take a break. Don't mess up your routine."

Then she chattered on, "You're still young, you don't know how important health is. Grandpa Li next door was just diagnosed with lung cancer. You can't follow those reckless boys, smoking is bad!"

Qi Zhen stuck out her tongue, "I know, you're worrying too much. My ears are getting calluses from all your nagging."

"Well... by the way, in a couple of days, I'm inviting a celebrity to dinner. Are you free?"

Yu Jingxing, being an international film emperor beloved by people of all ages, held quite a place in the older generation's hearts. Qi Zhen's grandma was a loyal fan of his, and recently, she had even flown to another city to attend the premiere of one of his international films. For an elderly woman who had saved money her whole life, not many people could get her to spend like that. Qi Zhen's grandma was a hardcore fan.

But Qi Zhen didn't plan to tell her grandma right away. She feared there might be complications, and she didn't want to disappoint her.

Her grandma didn't respond immediately, possibly surprised or perhaps unwilling to entertain him.

Qi Zhen, feeling guilty, hurriedly added in a whisper, "Grandma, this is actually the matchmaker my dad introduced me to."

Grandma Qi thought for a moment, but didn't outright reject the idea. However, she wasn't particularly interested in knowing who he was. She calmly said, "I'm retired, so I'm free anytime. But men from the entertainment industry face more temptations than others. If you really want to date him, you have to be careful."

There were some unspoken words. From Grandma Qi's perspective, there were few good men in the entertainment industry. Though her son was intelligent and knowledgeable, he probably didn't know many big stars. Older generations tended to have a prejudice against the younger generation of idols, thinking they were mostly uneducated with little depth.

The old lady was about to give an example of a man she admired, but when it reached her lips, she stopped herself. She didn't want her granddaughter to find it annoying or unrealistic.

Grandma Qi thought she needed to carefully talk to her granddaughter, explaining that people from that entertainment circle, whether they were the young idols or the older ones, might not be the best fit for her.

However, Grandma Qi had excellent mental fortitude. In just two or three minutes, she didn't ask too many questions and immediately agreed.

When it came to Qi Zhen's matters, her grandma cared the most about her health, and didn't get too involved in anything else. Since childhood, Qi Zhen had always been gentle and soft-spoken, never lying, and had always been a well-behaved, obedient girl.

After her parents' divorce, Grandma Qi became even more protective of her, while the children from her uncles and aunts' families gradually grew more distant. Only Qi Zhen remained her treasure, the one she could never dote on enough.

After hanging up the phone, Qi Zhen changed into her dance shoes and went into the dance room to stretch and warm up.

At this point, the end of the holiday was approaching, and the start of school was just around the corner.

Because of the meal they had shared, Qi Zhen and Yu Jingxing had become slightly more familiar with each other. Qi Zhen wasn't someone who warmed up to others easily, but Yu Jingxing took the initiative in their conversations, perfectly balancing the space between them—he knew when to advance and when to retreat. It was the kind of distance that made her feel comfortable.

She couldn't help but start paying attention to his Weibo. It dawned on her that Yu Jingxing truly had an exceptionally high national popularity. However, since he rarely participated in public activities outside of movie promotions and awards ceremonies, he appeared unusually low-key.

Later, Qi Zhen checked his biography and realized that Yu Jingxing had won numerous awards, not just the three major film awards that most people were aware of. She had never really followed him before, only knowing vaguely that he was a big name in the industry.

And! She had no idea that Yu Jingxing actually had a set of eight-pack abs... Who didn't like a man with abs? And his abs were so well-defined, with a V-line and a slightly raised chin and aloof eyes—super sexy.

She hadn't noticed this when he was wearing clothes.

But that photo was from when he was in his twenties, and she wondered if he still had them at this age. Maybe his body wasn't as fit now.

Qi Zhen couldn't help but curl up the corner of her lips.

In the end, she was still most fond of Feng Tanzhi!

She was especially fond of him!

The best Feng Tanzhi in the world!

Who wouldn't love a handsome young idol with long legs who could sing and dance?

When Qi Zhen, as a young girlfriend, expressed her admiration for this kind of "black-red" celebrity, Yu Jingxing, of course, was aware of it but didn't comment on it.

When young girls talked about their idols, their eyes would sparkle, and their faces would be written with phrases like "The best Tanzhi in the world!", "My brother is the handsomest!", "Brother, go ahead and fly!", "I'll walk with you down the flower path!" and other words. Young girls were completely unreserved, brimming with admiration and longing, which was a stark contrast to their usual obedient and fragile selves.
