A month later, on February 14th, Escape from Summer premiered.

The premiere day was Ji Jiayu’s birthday, and also Valentine’s Day.

Unfortunately, she wasn’t in Beijing that day.

There was a promotional event, and Ji Jiayu had flown to Guang Province for a business trip.

After she finished her press release, she checked her phone.

The chat window had many new messages.

Ji Jiayu replied to them one by one—

∗∗JiChen∗∗

: Happy birthday. The gift has been sent to your company.

∗∗JiJiayu∗∗

: Thank you, sister~

Rose

∗∗JiJiayu∗∗

: How have you been lately?

∗∗JiChen∗∗

:

ShortVideo

Ji Jiayu clicked on the short video.

The morning sun was like fire. Not far away was a classical French-style building.

By the small road stood a street singer rapping.

∗∗JiJiayu∗∗

: Haha, it sounds great.

∗∗JiChen∗∗

: Pretty good.

∗∗JiJiayu∗∗

: Back in Paris again?

∗∗JiChen∗∗

: I’m settling in Paris for good. Not coming back to the country.

∗∗JiJiayu∗∗

: Hmm… You should still come back sometimes…

∗∗JiChen∗∗

: Okay, I know.

Her fair and slender finger slid across the phone screen, switching the chat window.

∗∗SongTingyu∗∗

: Happy birthday.

∗∗JiJiayu∗∗

: Thank you, Tingyu.

Rose

∗∗JiJiayu∗∗

: How have you been lately?

∗∗SongTingyu∗∗

: Currently traveling the world looking for romanceing

∗∗JiJiayu∗∗

She clicked on the second to last chat window—

∗∗LinQiaoxuan∗∗

: Sister, how come you’re not coming home for your birthday!! Mom keeps asking me why you’re not coming home?!

∗∗LinQiaoxuan∗∗

: Humph, I don’t want to talk to you!!!

∗∗JiJiayu∗∗

: Sister, I’m not idle. I have to work. If I don’t work, will you support me?

Lin Qiaoxuan, who said she wouldn’t talk to her, replied instantly—

∗∗LinQiaoxuan∗∗

: Sure~

∗∗JiJiayu∗∗

: ……

∗∗LinQiaoxuan∗∗

: Okay, I’m not kidding anymore. Come home next week. Mom, Kate, and I have discussed celebrating your birthday then.

∗∗JiJiayu∗∗

: Got it, got it.

Rose

Ji Jiayu’s fingers were non-stop typing, feeling a bit numb.

She clicked on the last chat window—

∗∗QiuMiaoran∗∗

: Still in Guang Province? Not coming back to Beijing?

She didn’t even mention “birthday.” It seemed a certain Qiu person had forgotten her birthday again.

Ji Jiayu pouted, casually typing a line and sending it—

∗∗JiJiayu∗∗

: Not coming back.

∗∗QiuMiaoran∗∗

: Oh.

∗∗QiuMiaoran∗∗

: The event is over now?

∗∗JiJiayu∗∗

: Mhm.

∗∗QiuMiaoran∗∗

: What are you doing next?

∗∗JiJiayu∗∗

: Going to the cinema to watch my own movie.

∗∗QiuMiaoran∗∗

: Which cinema are you going to?

∗∗JiJiayu∗∗

: The closest one to me, the one on Tianhe Road.

∗∗QiuMiaoran∗∗

: That’s good.

That’s it?

Excuse me??

This girlfriend is useless!!

Ji Jiayu stormed into the cinema in a huff.

She wore a hat pulled down over her hair and a striped thick-framed glasses on her nose, looking like a pure college student, not much like a celebrity.

Ji Jiayu bought a cup of milk tea nearby and walked into the cinema with a small bag.

The screening room was dark. Ji Jiayu fumbled to find her seat and placed the milk tea in the cup holder on the armrest.

Her phone screen suddenly lit up—

∗∗QiuMiaoran∗∗

: Too bad I’m at the company, I can’t watch it with you.

∗∗JiJiayu∗∗

: Oh, it’s fine. Just go support the box office when you have time.

Ji Jiayu replied nonchalantly.

In reality, she was almost exploding with anger (╬◣д◢)!!

Qiu Miaoran really didn’t know it was her birthday today!

And today was February 14th, Valentine’s Day. Wouldn’t she even send a 520 (I love you)?

Someone entered through the entrance. The person counted the row number, then walked over from the other side and sat down next to Ji Jiayu.

Ji Jiayu glanced out of the corner of her eye.

The person next to her was a tall, thin woman wearing a thin trench coat and what looked like a pair of long boots.

The woman’s legs were long, and one foot stretched a little towards Ji Jiayu’s side.

As soon as the tall, thin woman sat down, she started playing on her phone.

∗∗JiJiayu∗∗

: A long-haired sister is sitting next to me. Looks like she has a great figure.

∗∗QiuMiaoran∗∗

: It’s so dark in the cinema. Can you see clearly?

Ji Jiayu smirked, deliberately typing on the screen—

∗∗JiJiayu∗∗

: I can. She’s quite pretty, too. She looks like my type.

∗∗QiuMiaoran∗∗

: Oh~

That “oh~” had a lot of meaning, especially with the tilde.

Ji Jiayu puffed out her cheek a little, her lips slightly pouting, and started typing again—

∗∗JiJiayu∗∗

: Too bad I have a girlfriend. Otherwise, I would definitely ask her for her contact information.

The other person paused for half a minute before replying—

∗∗QiuMiaoran∗∗

: You can ask.

Exm??!!

Did Qiu Miaoran have a cat-brain disorder where she liked being cheated on?

Ji Jiayu was practically speechless. She put down her phone and reached for her milk tea to calm herself down.

She reached out, fumbling for the milk tea…

But suddenly, her fingertips were caught and firmly held.

Ji Jiayu’s shoulders gave a slight twitch. She tried to pull her hand back, lowering her voice to ask, “You… did you mistake me for someone else…”

She suddenly turned her face. The woman next to her suddenly leaned in.

Familiar features gradually filled her view.

Even in the dark environment, she could clearly see the woman’s handsome outline—

The woman had her black, shoulder-length hair down. Her brow ridge was slightly high, her eyes deep set with thin double eyelids, and the outer corners of her eyes were slightly upturned. Her features were delicate, beautiful, and captivatingly cool…

“Happy birthday.”

Ji Jiayu’s pupils trembled, but she no longer struggled against the woman’s tight grip on her hand.

“Gift…” Qiu Miaoran let go of Ji Jiayu’s hand and slipped a small gift bag into her arms, “For you.”

Ji Jiayu felt the small gift bag in her arms, blinking her eyes in surprise, “Um… why are you here?”

“Don’t you want me to be?”

“No, it’s not that…” Ji Jiayu pursed her lips, feeling her earlobes gradually heating up. She suddenly felt a little embarrassed…

She had just been cursing Qiu Miaoran in her heart…

Just then, the big screen slowly lit up, and the movie was about to start.

“Shh, shh… It’s starting,” Ji Jiayu said guiltily, “Let’s watch the movie~”

Like any ordinary couple in the cinema,

They held hands and shared a cup of milk tea.

The milk tea smoothly slid down her throat, with green grape pieces inside, sweet but not cloying.

When they walked out of the cinema.

Qiu Miaoran casually tossed the empty milk tea cup into the trash can: “You really did film it…”

Ji Jiayu said “ah,” “What do you mean?”

Qiu Miaoran lowered her voice, suddenly leaning in close to Ji Jiayu, whispering in her ear, “That… scene… it wasn’t deleted, was it?”

“……” Her ear, touched by Qiu Miaoran’s breath, felt a little itchy.

“So, what should we do?” Ji Jiayu shrugged helplessly, pointing to the hotel not far away, “Should I make it up to you once? There’s a hotel right there. Should we go get a room?”

Qiu Miaoran suddenly choked. She paused before raising her wrist, her fingertips gently brushing aside the strands of hair falling near her ear.

“What are you thinking… Am I that kind of person?”

Ji Jiayu countered: “Aren’t you?”

Qiu Miaoran curled her fingers, her voice a little hoarse, “Of course not.”

“It’s still daytime. That wouldn’t be proper.”

Debauchery in broad daylight, of course, was not proper.

Ji Jiayu’s eyes curved in a smile: “But I want to.”

…

Ji Jiayu’s new drama, Escape from Summer, grossed over 100 million at the box office on its premiere day.

The main reason was that it was simply too good!

A famous film and television UP host, @TuanTuanMovie, posted a social media update on the premiere day:

∗∗TuanTuan∗∗

: Family, I went to test the waters myself.

Photo

The photo showed the ticket stubs for Ji Jiayu’s new movie, Escape from Summer, and Ah Yang’s new movie, The Sun is Really Bright.

That evening, the UP host immediately posted a new update on Bilibili—

∗∗TuanTuan∗∗

: Family, go watch Escape from Summer!!! It has the CP you want, the depth you want. Wei Ying and Ji Jiayu, I declare myself your movie fan. You two are permanently linked!!!

∗∗Passerby0∗∗

: Really? I’m convinced!!

∗∗Passerby1∗∗

: Is the UP host getting paid?

…

∗∗PasserbyBlack∗∗

: Tuan Tuan, have you fallen too? As a pure passerby, I’m sighing about the power of capital today. Marketing queens are truly terrifying…

∗∗PasserbyBlack2∗∗

: Exactly. This is too fake, isn’t it? The look of being paid is too obvious!! Why don’t you talk about The Sun is Really Bright?

The UP host, @TuanTuanMovie, ignored almost all the comments, except for the one that asked, “Why don’t you talk about The Sun is Really Bright?” to which she replied:

∗∗TuanTuan∗∗

: The Sun is Really Bright? Garbage!

…

Later, Ji Jiayu’s new movie, Escape from Summer, actually saw an increase in box office, getting higher day by day. The total box office had long surpassed a billion.

And even later, Ji Jiayu attended the China Film Festival with Escape from Summer.

This time, she wasn’t just “Best Supporting Actress”…

She was the protagonist.

Best Actress.

Ji Jiayu embraced Wei Ying, who was seated next to her. They both won “Best Actress.”

It was a dual-Actress award!

Ji Jiayu lifted the hem of her skirt as she walked onto the podium. Her evening gown was apricot pink, with a fluffy skirt made of tulle dotted with tiny sparkles.

The hem of the skirt fluttered with her movement…

The skirt danced behind her, like a fairy who occasionally passed through the mortal world.

That fragility, even her back, was beautiful enough to make hearts tremble.

Behind the podium, Wei Ying finished her acceptance speech and passed the microphone over.

Ji Jiayu lifted her face. Two lines of clear tears slowly tracked down her cheeks. Her long, curled eyelashes were dotted with a few crystal tears. Her small nose was pink, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

She stood there, with light pouring down from above. Her skin was so fair it reflected the light.

She was delicate, like fragile porcelain doll.

Ji Jiayu sniffed, pressing her fingers against the corners of her eyes, and then composed herself:

“To receive this award, first I want to thank my fans, my Fish Food. Thank you for your companionship all the way,”

“Thank you to my family, my mother and sister, thank you for your strong support,”

“Mom… Qiaoxuan… I will always love you!”

The next second, the camera focused on Lin Qiaoxuan and Lin Wan in the VIP audience. They clapped enthusiastically, their eyes red with tears for Ji Jiayu.

Ahhhh!!!Jiayu,don′tcry!

Ahhh,abeautyintears!I’mdead!!I’mdyingrepeatedly!I′mmakingthisascreensaver!!

Wuwuwu,itmustbetoughforthedaughteroftherichestpersoninSouthernCitytocomedownandact,crying…

“……”

“Finally, I want to thank one person. After all the detours, you were still waiting for me…”

“Do you know why I haven’t gone public yet, and why I’m not calling you my girlfriend here?”

“I want to say, Qiu Miaoran…”

Ji Jiayu paused, taking a small box from the secret pocket in the hem of her skirt. She opened the box. On the black velvet, there were a pair of dazzling diamond rings.

“Because I want to call you Wife,”

“Will you marry me?”

In the front row of the VIP seats, Qiu Miaoran’s body stiffened for a moment. Her phoenix eyes snapped open, her dark pupils trembling.

The astute CEO Qiu was blank, her brain suddenly crashing.

The woman was instantly overwhelmed.

A moment later, the host’s voice came through: “Why is there no one? Did the other main character not show up? Haha… Jiayu, you might have failed your proposal…”

The woman, wearing an off-white suit dress, suddenly stood up and walked towards the podium.

Qiu Miaoran stumbled slightly as she went up the steps.

This made the rigorous CEO Qiu look a little clumsy.

She rushed onto the podium almost instinctively.

“I do.”

Ji Jiayu put the ring on her.

Qiu Miaoran’s expression was solemn as she slipped the other ring onto Ji Jiayu’s ring finger.

The entire venue erupted in thunderous applause. Countless media members raised their long-focus lenses to capture this incredibly touching moment.

They kissed on the podium.

The flashing lights, alternating between bright and dim, illuminated the profiles of the women embracing.

Time seemed to stop at this moment.

All the surrounding sights gradually faded until all colors were only black and white.

It turned out this was the last page of the book.

The pages rustled, flipping forward,

Until the book was closed and slowly placed back on the table.

The cover read—

The Ex-Girlfriend from a Wealthy Family is Kneeling and Begging Me to Come Back
