Your Mind is Dirty

Elena fought back tears as she thought about her current situation. Why didn't he just break up with her right after two weeks? Did he have to wait until she had fallen for him before telling her that he wanted to end their relationship?

Elena has never been in love before. She couldn't tell if this was true love or if this was just an impulsive feeling that girls have towards celebrities they like or cute guys in school they wish they could date.

She hoped - desperately hoped - that it was the latter. If she had truly fallen in love, the ending would definitely be not what she hoped for.

After finishing her makeup, she left the house without even eating breakfast. Lu Chenjun watched as she left without any emotion on his face. Was she waiting for him to apologize?

Auntie Qin watched as Elena left the house and sighed. After setting up the plates for breakfast, she returned to her room. If Yinghui wasn't going to eat, she didn't want to eat alone with Lu Chenjun.

Although Auntie Qin couldn't say it, she knew that Lu Chenjun was at fault.

However, Lu Chenjun still had no idea about why Elena was mad! He was going to ask Auntie Qin while they were eating, but who knew that Auntie Qin would just walk away.

He frustratingly dropped the chopsticks down onto the table and stood up. How would he still have an appetite to eat after all that?

He angrily left the house and entered the car without even greeting Fang Shi.

Fang Shi could immediately tell that his boss was angry. He immediately shut his mouth and gulped.

'Please don't take away my year-end award.'

The entire car ride to the LIQuan Building was silent, and after Lu Chenjun got off the car with a loud slam of the door, Fang Shi let out a sigh of relief.

Recently, Mr. Lu's mood swings were greater than usual. He was happy one second and the next, he was extremely mad.

Fang Shi looked up helplessly. He had been by Lu Chenjun's side for a long time, and he knew almost everything about Mr. Lu.

His boss trusted him and didn't hide any secrets from him. Or at least he didn't think his boss had any secrets he didn't know of.

He knew that Miss Chu Hua had come back a few days ago. Fang Shi was secretly hoping that Miss Chu Hua would be able to control Lu Chenjun's temper.

However, something bothered Fang Shi. Why didn't Lu Chenjun break up with Jin Yinghui yet? Did he forget to? But his boss isn't the type of person to forget something like that.

As Fang Shi was thinking about these unrelated questions, he got a message. He immediately looked down at his phone and he felt his heart drop.

'Boss: Fang Shi! What the hell is taking you so long! I give you three minutes to get your butt over here! Your monthly bonus is gone.'

Fang Shi sank down in his chair. He had worked so hard this past month just so he could keep his monthly bonus.

However, he was more afraid of losing his year-end award. At that thought, Fang Shi quickly got out of the car and threw the car keys to one of the security guards.

"Help me park Mr. Lu's car. Thanks!"

Fang Shi quickly ran into the building, leaving the security guard in confusion.

Inside her private changing room, Elena had no concern over her image. She perched her right foot on top of her left left knee and rested her elbow on her right knee. If others had seen her sitting position right now, they would say she was unfit to be a celebrity.

However, she didn't really care. It was comfortable and that was all that mattered. She didn't bother telling Mila what happened last night, but Mila could tell that something was wrong.

Elena had a bunch of scenes that day, but she wasn't in the right condition to act properly. She had to act the same scenes several times for it to pass.

The director complained a few times, but didn't say anything more than 'Elena, focus.'

It was already 5 P.M. but Elena still had two more scenes to film. She was waiting inside the changing room for Su Yan to finish her scene with another female actor.

Elena began biting her nails as she stared blankly at the ground. The door opened and Elena thought that it was Mila.

"Mila, when am I going to start the next scene?"

Elena continued shaking her leg as she frowned. Elena looked up, wondering why Mila didn't reply.

Her eyes widened in shock as she saw Zhang Bing standing about 5 feet away from her, his eyes filled with amusement.

She immediately put her leg down and sat up straight. She brushed through her hair with her hand a few times awkwardly and cleared her throat.

"Zhang Bing, what are you doing here?"

Zhang Bing was rather smart and he pretended like he hadn't seen anything. However, he couldn't hide the smile on his face as he looked at Elena.

"Is there something wrong today? Why are you having trouble passing simple scenes?"

Elena leaned forward with her eyes wide open, "You noticed?"

"Everyone noticed."

Elena looked up frustratingly and leaned back onto her chair, "It's nothing."

"Really? You don't trust me?"

Elena looked at Zhang Bing and shook her head. So far, she could tell that Zhang Bing was a good person and mentor. He had helped her a lot and Elena was really appreciative.

"No, I trust you the most out of everyone on this set. Expect Mila."

"Then you can tell me." Zhang Bing really wanted to know what was causing Elena to feel so burdened. That was a good first step to becoming friends.

Elena lifted one eyebrow and stood up. She grabbed another chair and brought it over.

"Sit down."

Zhang Bing smiled at Elena's commanding tone. Most of the actors and actresses in the industry talked to him with respect. Not that Elena wasn't respectful, she was just different.

Elena leaned forward and studied Zhang Bing, "Have you ever had a girlfriend before?"

Zhang Bing was taken aback by Elena's question but quickly answered.

"No. Why?"

Elena's face dropped and her expression went back to being helpless and frustrated.

"Never mind. Of course you never had a girlfriend before. You're young and you're one of the biggest celebrities in the nation."

Zhang Bing frowned, "You could still tell me what your problem is."

Elena waved him off and said, "You would be no help. My situation is not suitable for children."

Elena said this jokingly as if she and Lu Chenjun would ever do anything not appropriate for children's eyes.

However, after hearing this, Zhang Bing's face darkened.

He pouted and said, "I'm three years older than you, okay."

Elena nodded, "But your mind is still young and innocent."

Zhang Bing smirked mischievously, "So are you saying that your mind is mature and dirty."

Elena flipped her hair dramatically and nodded confidently. Zhang Bing's smile turned into a laugh as he made fun of Elena.

Elena rolled her eyes and pushed Zhang Bing away.

"I have to go film. I don't have time to play around with little kids."

Zhang Bing pouted, making himself actually look like a little kid that failed to get candy.

Elena checked her makeup in the mirror before exiting the room. Elena pushed open the door, which wasn't all the way closed, and she saw Su Yan standing there.

Su Yan looked shocked for a second before regaining her composure.

"The director told me to come and call you over."

Elena nodded before leaving, not even bothering to reply to Su Yan.

Su Yan watched as Elena left, and took one more glance into the changing room. Zhang Bing was still sitting there, now scrolling through his phone.

'When did Zhang Bing get so close with Jin Yinghui?'
