Chapter 104: Do you still like him?

The next day, he followed Shen Zhiyi to the set as usual. This time, he did not stay in the lounge. Duan Jiaze followed Xiao Dong to accompany Shen Zhiyi, and actively took the task of bringing her water.

"Zhizhi, drink some water."

As she spoke, she used her big eyes to observe the male lead who was putting on makeup not far away.

Well, he was good-looking and tall, so Duan Jiaze mentally listed him as the second candidate for his uncle.

"Do you like him?" Shen Zhiyi noticed that he had been staring at the male lead. "You can go and ask for his autograph."

sign?

Duan Jiaze blinked. "Is it worth money?"

"Hmm..." Shen Zhiyi didn't know what the market was like. The male lead was quite popular, so if he sold his autograph, it would probably be worth a few hundred yuan. "Maybe I could sell it for a few hundred yuan, but that's not good. It's not respectful to him."

"Oh," Duan Jiaze lost interest and suddenly thought of Pei Yu's silver-blue watch. He wanted it very much, but his mother wouldn't let him ask for it because the watch was very expensive, very expensive.

Alas, this uncle is not a good alternative because he is not as rich as the bad uncle.

The weather forecast said it would rain today, so Director Meng planned to finish work before dark.

"Zhiyi, are you free tonight?"

Shen Zhiyi was playing with Duan Jiaze. "I'm free, but I have to accompany the kids."

"It's okay," Director Meng didn't mind and quite liked the little fat boy. "Let's have a simple meal together tonight and bring the child along."

He squatted down and teased Duan Jiaze, "What do you like to eat? Do you like hot pot?"

Duan Jiaze looked up and asked, "Is there any meat?"

"Of course."

He nodded heavily, temporarily putting aside the task of finding a new uncle, "Then I like it!"

As for Duan Jiaze, Shen Zhiyi introduced him to others as a child of her relative, and Director Meng thought so too, so he didn't think much about it.

The dinner was booked at a famous hotpot restaurant. In addition to Shen Zhiyi, the male lead was also invited. They had been filming together for several months and had become quite familiar with each other, so they were not restrained at all.

But there was an unexpected visitor.

"Dad," Meng Qiming walked in from outside the box. He had just finished a meeting. He was dressed formally, looking handsome and gentle. He greeted Director Meng first, then looked at Shen Zhiyi and smiled, "Zhiyi."

Even Duan Jiaze was not left out. People who are good at communication always make people feel comfortable and cared for. The child straightened his chest, feeling the respect of being treated as an adult, and his favorability towards Meng Qiming immediately increased.

"He's busy not far away. Let's invite him over to have dinner together. We haven't seen each other for a long time," Director Meng asked someone to add a set of bowls and chopsticks. "If you mind, I'll ask this kid to get out."

Naturally, no one took the joke seriously. It was the first time for the male lead to meet the president of CN, and he never expected that Meng Qiming and Director Meng were father and son. Now that he had the opportunity to talk to each other, he certainly would not let it go and chatted with them in a friendly manner.

The men chatted, Shen Zhiyi was happy and at ease, picking up a small bowl full of meat rolls for Duan Jiaze, "Would you like some vegetarian food?"

Duan Jiaze shook his head vigorously. He really hated vegetarian food.

Shen Zhiyi had no experience in taking care of children and was soft-hearted, so as soon as he showed resistance, Duan Jiaze felt that this was the happiest meal he had ever had since he was a child, as if everyone treated him as an adult.

After eating and drinking, the child finally remembered his uncle-changing mission, and after hesitating for a moment, he chose Meng Qiming as his target. He now has a very good impression of this uncle.

While Shen Zhiyi was in the restroom, Duan Jiaze quietly slid over to Meng Qiming's seat and asked seriously, "Do you want to change seats with me?"

Meng Qiming was stunned. "What?"

Winking at him, Duan Jiaze, a smart little boy, said, "Sit with Zhizhi, don't you want to?"

Although he didn't understand why this kid suddenly betrayed Pei Yu, Meng Qiming was experienced and never missed an opportunity. He nodded and said, "Okay, thank you."

When she came back from the restroom, the person sitting next to her had been replaced by Meng Qiming. Shen Zhiyi glanced at Duan Jiaze who was chatting with the male lead, and sat down hesitantly.

"Zhiyi," Meng Qiming said gently, keeping a proper distance and starting the conversation with the child. "Will Duan Jiaze stay here for a long time?"

"A few days," Shen Zhiyi knew a little about Duan Jiaze's family affairs, "his mother will return to pick him up in two days."

"Yeah," Meng Qiming nodded, "The child should miss his mother too."

"Did you arrange this meal with Director Meng in advance?" Shen Zhiyi asked hesitantly.

If Shen Zhiyi knew that Meng Qiming would also come, he would most likely refuse.

"I'm sorry," Meng Qiming admitted, apologetically saying, "I mentioned this to my dad. Did it make you uncomfortable?"

"Not really," Shen Zhiyi is not him. He does not have as much social experience and his communication skills are average. He is not very good at keeping a balance, so he can only say frankly, "But I don't want to give you the illusion that there is still a possibility for us. I really-"

He hadn't finished his words, but his meaning was clear.

Meng Qiming looked at the messy dinner plate in front of him that Duan Jiaze had used and smiled bitterly, "I don't want to cause you any trouble, but Zhiyi, I am serious about pursuing you. This is the only way I can give myself a chance."

His words were sincere, and Shen Zhiyi couldn't say anything more excessive. He said softly, "But my thoughts will not change."

"Is it Pei Yu?" Meng Qiming rarely did something that crossed the line, but he couldn't help it. At the moment, he was Shen Zhiyi's pursuer. He thought that he could be allowed to be impulsive this time. "You still like him, right?"

This was not in line with his usual social principles and made Shen Zhiyi unhappy. They didn't have much personal relationship and she didn't like talking about her love life with people she didn't know well, especially when the object was Pei Yu.

But it is undeniable that Meng Qiming's suspicion is not wrong. She cannot answer frankly, "I don't like it anymore." She can't say it because her heart doesn't tell her that.

Shen Zhiyi lowered his eyes and moved the cup away from him. "Mr. Meng, if I admit it, will you give up?"

Meng Qiming's pursuit method was not excessive, but it was precisely because of this that she felt difficult. She was not very good at handling such a relationship, and it would be a good thing if she could just let him give up.

Unexpectedly, Meng Qiming said, "I can't."

"Zhiyi," he said seriously, "You and Pei Yu have already broken up, and I don't think you will be together again. I won't give up pursuing you."

Shen Zhiyi sighed softly.

With Pei Yu on the left and Meng Qiming on the right, she couldn't handle either of them.

In comparison, Duan Jiaze is actually less of a worry.
