All day long, Deng Ling had not spoken to him. She reflected on why she had "exposed her family secrets" like that. 0
 
Was Liu Tingke's comment meant to comfort her? Did he, like most men, prefer women with curves? Deng Ling couldn't help but feel anxious. 0
 
By the time they left the set, it was already nine in the evening. Deng Ling was driving home, with Liu Tingke sitting in the passenger seat. He pulled out a small red box and said, "Xiao Ling, will you marry me?" 0
 
The red Porsche suddenly skidded on the quiet road, nearly crashing into the safety island. Deng Ling's face was one of shock. "Y-you... you’re joking, right?!" 0
 
"Xiao Ling, I never joke about such matters." When he noticed that Deng Ling was feeling jealous on set, he decided to propose. 0
 
"Then you just wanted to see me make a fool of myself!" 0
 
Deng Ling thought that this was the only explanation left. She knew this man had ulterior motives; he still held a grudge against her for her past "mistreatment"! 0
 
"Xiao Ling, I like you." He opened the box to reveal a dazzling three-carat diamond ring. 0
 
In fact, Liu Tingke was quite charming. Since his debut, he had quickly amassed a considerable fanbase and had faced various harassment from female co-stars, which spoke volumes about his appeal… Not to mention his wallet now filled with wealth that made her envious… Deng Ling's resistance was steadily crumbling. 0
 
However, it felt like she had just gotten out of a relationship. Would moving on so quickly lead to gossip? 0
 
Would she be seen as an unworthy woman? After hesitating for a while, she finally said, "Um... let me think about it..." 0
 
Liu Tingke watched her struggle between being moved and awkwardly retreating, unable to help but chuckle. He put the ring away. "Alright then, I’ll wait..." 0
 
 
"You can't take back what you've said..." Deng Ling's gaze was fixed intently on the ring. She just needed a little time to think it over; after all, the ring was so dazzling that she might just say yes. 0
 
Liu Tingke's smile grew wider. 0
 
From that day on, Liu Tingke relentlessly asked for an answer every day, while Deng Ling acted like a turtle, dragging her feet day by day. 0
 
"Don't rush me; I need to think slowly..." 0
 
It took a lot of courage for her to consider marrying an Antique Old Man, and the pressure was indeed quite heavy. 0
 
She was truly racking her brains and feeling miserable... So, let her delay a bit longer! 0
 
One day, Liu Tingke pulled out the ring again and pressed for an answer. With a silly grin, Deng Ling tentatively asked, "What if I refuse..." 0
 
Her eyes were glued to the ring in his hand, but in an instant, he withdrew it. 0
 
Liu Tingke shot her a complicated glance before turning to leave. 0
 
Deng Ling was left dumbfounded. She had only said "what if," and he was already walking away? 0
 
Deng Ling had to accept one harsh reality—she had been abandoned. 0
 
Since that day, Liu Tingke took on numerous jobs and interacted with more female stars, leading to a flurry of gossip and rumors. There were reports of him partying with Actress A at a nightclub, being spotted spending the night with Actress B on set, and even accompanying Actress C to the hospital, sparking rumors that she might be pregnant... Watching these sensational gossip headlines, Deng Ling couldn't help but twitch her lips; his life was indeed quite colorful! 0
 
 
She could only learn about his news through gossip columns now, as Liu Tingke had petty-mindedly taken away her assistant job. Of course, the money she managed was never returned either... Was it really necessary to be so stingy just because she rejected his confession?! 0
 
She had completely seen through him! 0
 
Deng Ling packed up Liu Tingke's belongings, intending to throw them out, but she hesitated, feeling a twinge of reluctance. What if he came back? 0
 
She silently despised herself. After everything that had happened, why was she still holding on to old feelings?! She needed to be brave, to rise up, and find someone better! 0
 
There were countless men in the world; let the scoundrels roll away! 0
 
To get back at Liu Tingke for his pettiness, Deng Ling decided to spend all the money he had left with her! 0
 
Spending someone else's money recklessly was the most satisfying revenge! 0
 
As she swiped her card, she almost felt like she had truly become a wealthy woman. With a mix of excitement and guilt, Deng Ling carried her bags, preparing to head home when a long-lost voice stopped her in her tracks. 0
 
“Ling Ling?” 0
