When it was time to part, Lu Ming smiled and extended his hand.
"Welcome, Ms. Ji. From now on, we are colleagues."
Ji Sang shook his hand in response.
"Can I come to the studio to report tomorrow?"
Lu Ming lowered his eyes to check his watch.
"Sorry, there are some other matters at the studio, so I will head back first."
Ji Sang nodded slightly, and as soon as Lu Ming left, she immediately sent a message to Su Ge in Milan, not caring whether she could see it right now or not.
This was the first time she had interacted alone with someone; when her best friend Su Ge wasn't famous yet, it was usually her keeping her company. Now that Su Ge didn't have as much time, she had to learn to be on her own. Of course, she had to share such joy with her too.
It wasn't long after she had sent the message that Su Ge called.
"Hello, Sister! You're not busy, are you?"
During this period, Su Ge had a show in Milan, so their communication had decreased significantly.
"Are you still backstage? How was it? That TV station's person in charge?"
"It was okay, really like Sister said, very nervous at first, but much better towards the end."
Su Ge's laughter came through.
"Our genius photographer has finally taken a big step. When I come back, I'll treat you to a big meal."
Ji Sang smiled as well.
"I should be the one treating you."
"Who cares who among us treats whom? By the way, how are things with what's-his-name?"
"Your husband, what's his name... Fu... Fu Yisi, right, right, that's him."
Ji Sang's hand was tapping on the coffee cup intermittently.
Their current relationships was neither too close nor too distant, which felt quite comfortable for her and within her range of acceptance.
On the other end, Su Ge let out a heavy sigh.
"How did you suddenly just go and get married like that? I didn't even get to screen him for you."
Ji Sang didn't understand why she agreed back then either, but...
"Sister, are you sure you're in any position to ask me that?"
After all, who was the one who got married in a flash?
On the other side, Su Ge ran out of words. Could she say that she and her dear husband truly fell in love at first sight... cough cough, plus a one-night stand? Someone as anti-social as Ah Shang would definitely not understand.
"Alright, I've got to go on stage. We'll make a video call next time. Bye."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Sang left and stopped by the mall on her way home.
She needed to buy some care products.
She would probably be staying in S city for quite a while. Her parents also said that it was time to settle down now that she was married.
At that moment, Ji Sang realized she hadn't contacted her parents for a while and didn't know how they were doing on their trip. She decided she should give them a call later.
Ji Sang had just returned; her car was still at the Ji family house and not picked up yet, so she had to take a taxi home. She didn't like taking the bus and had never ridden one.
When she got home, it was just about time to make dinner. That's when Ji Sang remembered the message from Fu Yisi. She picked up her phone, hesitating as she looked at the screen.
Should she make a call? Otherwise, cooking too much dinner would be wasteful.
While Ji Sang was struggling with this, noise came from the front door. She looked over and saw a man in a white shirt and black trousers returning.
For a moment, she didn't know how to react and stuttered out a question.
Fu Yisi placed his bag on the side cabinet, nodding slightly. He was a bit out of sorts today, feeling restless all afternoon. Fortunately, there were no issues at the hospital, so he came back early. At first, he drove towards his apartment out of habit, only remembering halfway that they had moved here.
He loosened his collar slightly, looking at the woman who had put on an apron and the ingredients on the cooking table.
"You... are cooking?"
Ji Sang nodded slightly; she had wanted to ask what he would like to eat. But he walked towards the upstairs, stopping halfway before coming back down, right up to her.
Fu Yisi looked at the woman in front of him with a somewhat awkward expression, swallowed a few times without her notice, and said coldly,
"I'll take a shower."
The first thing he did when he got home every day was to take a shower; it was his habit.
Before Ji Sang could react, the man had already disappeared by the stairs.
Thank you? Was he thanking her for cooking?
Ji Sang shook her head slightly. She and Fu Yisi were still unfamiliar with each other; both of them needed to adjust.
Upstairs, the man standing at the bedroom door frowned slightly.
