I Went Viral After Dating a Superstar-Chapter 241 - 239: The Breakup You’re Hoping For Won’t Happen!

Mu Qianli decided that very night she would wash her hands of the whole affair, no longer caring about the comments from the netizens above!

At the same time, Mu Zhenghua was also there, coughing as he watched the two people sitting together, "Xiao Pei, you’ve reached the marriageable age as well, haven’t you..."

Pfft...

Mu Qianli looked up and said, "Dad, haven’t I told you? Now’s the time I’m focusing on my career. As the boss of the company, I have so many artists depending on me for their livelihoods. There’s no way I’m getting married."

"That pathetic company of yours..." Mu Zhenghua said, frustrated, "You shoot a few dramas and movies a year, what money do you earn from that? I’ve been telling you to shut it down and join me."

"What I do is called art, the people need art! Talking about making money is so vulgar! And... did you call my company pathetic? Our company’s market value is close to ten billion now, okay? Haven’t you seen the news valuations? Our movie last year was the box office champion! This year... granted, a few artists caused some trouble which affected a TV series, so I did lose a bit of money... but it doesn’t affect the bigger picture!"

"You..." Mu Zhenghua continued, visibly annoyed, "It’s exactly because you rely on these people that such flaws crop up!"

"Next time, I know what to do, I’ll do a background check before signing any artists, a political review even, dig out their ancestors eighteen generations back. I’ll sign only the most decent and pure-hearted young males, and we’ll see if they dare to cause any more trouble."

"Don’t try to change the subject on me!"

Busted again.

Mu Qianli quickly said, "Anyway, enough of that, I’ve got to go..."

She pulled up Pei Jinxi who was sitting beside her.

Pei Jinxi could only turn around with a smile and say to Mu Zhenghua, "Uncle, I’ll talk to her, don’t be upset..." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"What’s there to persuade," Mu Qianli said once they were out of the room, "He’s just stuck in old ways."

Pei Jinxi took her hand, "Why don’t you want to marry me?"

"..." Mu Qianli said with a laugh, "How old are you!"

"I’ve indeed reached the marriageable age," he stated bluntly.

"..." Mu Qianli said in speechless frustration, "The state’s specified marriageable age doesn’t mean you’re breaking the law if you don’t marry once you’ve reached it!"

"So you just don’t want to marry me, you just want to freeload off of me?"

"???" Mu Qianli retorted in disbelief, "How could that be! This is hardly freeloading! I can’t take advantage of you for more than half a year, I’m busy filming and running around for shows the rest of the time, it would be a major loss if I were freeloading off you."

"???"

Pei Jinxi pulled her closer, "So you think I’m not spending enough time with you?"

He knew he had indeed been taking on a lot of filming jobs lately.

"I won’t take any roles next year."

"That’s not what I mean..." she conceded as she looked at him, "I’m also really busy with work. If you don’t film, I won’t have time to spend with you... Look, I have to go to the company now."

Pei Jinxi looked at her skeptically, "I’ll accompany you there."

"Don’t... the media might catch you and think you’re terminating your contract, then Hu Yiwei might kill me."

"Fine, you won’t let me go to the company, then I must go to see, the recent young talent you’ve signed seems quite handsome... I’ll come check it out..."

"Aiyah, you..."

Mu Qianli watched speechlessly as he started walking ahead of her.

"Tell me, are you taking me or not..."

Looking at his threatening face, Mu Qianli finally lowered her head. "Fine, fine, I’ll take you..."

Really, such a grown man, throwing a tantrum just like a little kid,

like those who won’t get up without a candy.
