I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 320 Congratulations on coming of age, my leading lady!
In fact, Chen Jin was also very confused.

However, given the enthusiasm of Zhu Yanmanz's parents, Chen Jin quickly went into the house and placed the prepared gifts on the ground.

"Are they all gifts for me?"

Zhu Yanmanz was joking around, and Chen Jin smiled and said, "It's not impossible to take them all as a birthday present..."

"I do not want it!"

Zhu Yanmanzi looked at the cigarettes from Jiuzhizun and the several bottles of Moutai, and couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement: "This classmate has really gone all out!"

"It's only fair to reciprocate; you bought quite a lot last time too!"

Chen Jin whispered in her ear, but secretly asked, "Didn't you say your parents were somewhat against us?"

"I do not know either……"

Zhu Yanmanzi shrugged, puzzled. But Zhu Weitao said, "Chen Jin, please sit wherever you like. Don't be shy. It's a bit early for dinner!"

"Ok!"

Chen Jin quickly found a sofa to sit down. Zhu Weitao and Yan Ning had obviously already seen what Chen Jin had bought.

His expression was quite surprised for a moment.

"This is a bit too expensive!"

Yan Ning secretly gave Zhu Weitao a wink. She didn't know that her daughter had gone to Chen Jin's house and bought a lot of gold and digital products.

If I had known, I probably wouldn't have had this expression.

"How come there's a cell phone here?"

Zhu Weitao looked at the neatly arranged Apple packaging bags. These days, Apple is already very popular in China.

Although there are no dedicated stores yet, and the iPhone was not launched simultaneously, it has indeed become a global phenomenon.

Many people in China mourned Steve Jobs' passing last month.

I recognize Zhu Weitao; he has an Apple phone.

"Oh, pour some tea, pour Chen Jin a cup of tea!"

Zhu Weitao suddenly spoke to Yan Ning, and Chen Jin quickly stood up and waved her hand, saying, "Uncle and Aunt, please don't be so polite, it's fine with me!"

"That won't do, it's my first time here—"

"Dad, Chen Jin came to our house!"

Zhu Yanmanzi felt that her father was acting really strangely today. Was this still the father she knew?
"Can that be the same?"

They were friends and classmates before, but now they're a couple.

Zhu Weitao was trying to leave a good impression on Chen Jin.

In fact, when people reach middle age, they often have to compromise with life. The more Zhu Weitao thought about Chen Jin's identity, the more he felt that as long as the other party was sincere towards his daughter, they should not interfere too much.

Yan Ning, who stays at home every day, certainly doesn't see this as clearly as Zhu Weitao.

Female students are not allowed to stay in college.

It's one thing if Zhu Yanmanzi hadn't been in a relationship, but now that they've confirmed it, it seems Zhu Weitao values ​​her status and social standing even more.

Not to mention Chen Jin's support for Zhu Yanmanzi's career.

In addition, the first impression was indeed not bad, and the young man brought over bags and packages.

"Come, Chen Jin, have some tea!"

"Thank you, aunt!"

Chen Jin hurriedly tried to get up to greet her, but Yan Ning immediately said, "Sit down, sit down~~"

The two politely defered to each other, and a cup of tea was placed in front of Chen Jin.

Anyway, Chen Jin wasn't used to this art style, and Zhu Yanmanzi felt it was all very strange.

What's wrong with my parents?
This wasn't like it at all before; it seems so hypocritical. This made Zhu Yanmanz even more uneasy!
Is there some kind of storm brewing for Chen Jin?

Chen Jin also felt that her future father-in-law and mother-in-law were being too nice to her.

Both of them were experiencing their first relationship and were feeling quite nervous.

"Chen Jin, your new movie is about to be released, right?"

"I heard from Zizi that this is the second film you two have collaborated on?"

Zhu Weitao sat there and asked casually.

"Yes, this is our second collaboration!"

"The pre-sales seem pretty good, so the box office should be good when it's released!"

This was just a polite remark. Zhu Yanmanz quickly added, "Dad, it's not just good, it's excellent! We've broken all the records for Hollywood blockbusters!"

"is it?"

Zhu Weitao's eyes lit up as he looked at Chen Jin, who sat there silently and appeared somewhat humble.

I increasingly feel that my daughter's boyfriend is too mature for his age.

"good!"

"Our main partners are willing to spend money. This film was jointly invested in by Alibaba, Didi, and our company, with the assistance of China Film Group!"

Chen Jin said it calmly.

"..."

I really didn't know about Zhu Weitao's matter.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

"Is it Alibaba, the company behind Taobao?"

"Yes!"

Chen Jin took a sip of tea and smiled slightly.

"Your company co-invested in and produced this movie with them?"

Zhu Weitao never expected that the movie his daughter made would have such a prestigious background.
Alibaba and China Film Group are both domestic giants.

As someone involved in the arts, he had only heard of these big companies.

No wonder his wife was worried.

Chen Jin is indeed exceptionally outstanding. At such a young age, she has already partnered with these large corporations, and her net worth is probably already over 100 million.
To be honest, Zhu Weitao's understanding of Chen Jin came mainly from what his wife told him.

I knew he was very famous, probably the most popular male actor in China right now; but I had no idea that he was connected to these big corporations.

Zhu Yanmanz was studying at the Central Academy of Drama, and Zhu Weitao didn't pay much attention to her. Only now does he realize that something is wrong!

My daughter has found a super promising prospect; no wonder she's so interested in him.

Which girl could refuse a peer like that?

"You are young and have a lot of promise!"

Zhu Weitao chuckled, then suddenly felt a bit hot, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

Zhu Yanmanzi couldn't help but chuckle at her father's embarrassed expression, her blatant favoritism towards outsiders was quite obvious.

"I'll go to the kitchen and see if there's anything I can help with!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a bit awkward, Zhu Weitao quickly tried to save face: "You chat with Zizi for a while, and it'll be time to eat. We'll have a drink together later!"

"it is good!"

Chen Jin maintained her smile as she watched Zhu Weitao get up and walk towards the kitchen.

"Ha ha!"

After her father left, Zhu Yanmanz laughed heartlessly.

"What are you laughing at..."

Chen Jin is actually quite reserved.

As for my future father-in-law, I'll have to give him some face.

"My dad knows nothing about your company's investments, and my mom has never asked me about them. She must have been terrified just now!"

Zhu Yanmanzi moved closer to Chen Jin and laughed.

"Actually, this makes your parents even more worried!"

Chen Jin was quite direct, and Zhu Yanmanzi raised an eyebrow: "It doesn't matter, as long as I know you're good to me, I'm sticking with you for life, don't even think about getting rid of me!"

Zhu Yanmanz grabbed Chen Jin's arm and rubbed against it like a kitten.

"Be mindful of the consequences!"

Chen Jin didn't want Zhu Yanmanz's parents to come out and see this scene.

Although the two of them had been honest with each other many times in private.

"You have times when you're afraid?"

Zhu Yanmanzi hugged him even tighter, and after saying that, she gave Chen Jin a mischievous look and whispered seductively in his ear, "After tonight, I'll officially be an adult!"

The voice, still carrying a hint of warmth, gently entered Chen Jin's ear, making it tickle.

The girl even blew a breath and winked at Chen Jin, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"..."

Chen Jin clenched her fist and waved it at her: "You just wait, in a few days during the roadshow, I'll see if I don't execute you on the spot!"

"Okay, come on over, I can't wait!"

"Believe it or not, I'll drag you into the room right now!"

Chen Jin whispered something in her ear.

"I do not believe!"

Zhu Yanmanzi chuckled, with a "what can you do about it?" expression, which, combined with her cartoon pajamas, made her look incredibly innocent.

"go!"

Chen Jin pretended to stand up and grabbed her arm. Zhu Yanmanzi let him hold her hand, a playful look on her face.

The two men pretended to walk towards her boudoir.

This wasn't the first time Chen Jin had visited this room. Last year, they were almost caught cheating, and the two of them had indeed made love in bed. Now, seeing that door, both of them simultaneously recalled the scene of Chen Jin's first visit last year.

"It's been almost two years since we met!"

Zhu Yanmanzi suddenly sighed emotionally, and Chen Jin also sighed with emotion: "Yes!"

"I've been waiting forever!"

"Ok?"

Zhu Yanmanzi raised her head, a mischievous look returning to her face: "Do you dare?"

"What am I afraid of!"

Chen Jin pushed the door open, making a move to drag Zhu Yanmanz inside.

Zhu Yanmanz was getting a little anxious.

If I go into the bedroom with Chen Jin, and my parents can't see me when they open the kitchen door, then...

Wow!

Just then, the kitchen door opened, and Yan Ning was stunned to see Chen Jin leading Zhu Yanmanzi into her room: "Zizi?"

"Was I right? This is your room."

Chen Jin suddenly pointed to Zhu Yanmanzi's boudoir, and Zhu Yanmanzi then pouted and said, "Yes, yes, you're amazing!"

As they spoke, their hands parted.

"Dinner's almost ready!"

Yan Ning called out, then turned and walked back into the kitchen.

She didn't notice anything unusual.

"call……"

Zhu Yanmanzi made a face at Chen Jin, who immediately smacked her on the head: "Let's see if you'll play this game again next time?"

Luckily, I was quick-witted and almost went too far.

"How about you do what you did last year, and I'll sneak the door open at night..."

Zhu Yanmanzi spoke very quietly, with a hint of anticipation on her face.

"..."

Chen Jin felt that this girl wanted it even more than he did!
Are you in such a hurry?

"What? I was worried you wouldn't be able to wait. Wasn't that thinking of you?"

Hmph, good intentions are wasted.

Zhu Yanmanzi playfully punched Chen Jin with her small fist.

"We've waited for over a year, what's a few more days!"

"How about tonight, Singles' Day?"

Chen Jin was making suggestions.

"Mmmmmmm!"

Zhu Yanmanz nodded hurriedly, "These are good days."

"Oh, no, thirty-one, shall we celebrate too?"

"Ok!"

Zhu Yanmanzi pursed her lips and nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of spirit. On such a special day, no young girl could resist it.

What's more, it was November 11, 2011, a date that only happens once in a millennium.

No wonder Valentine's Day, 520, and other holidays are so popular. These young girls in love really only care about the ritual and nothing else; they might even have to Photoshop a photo to celebrate on social media in the future.

Chen Jin's timing was quite opportune.

However, he was different from others; this was called mutual affection.

It's their first time doing this, so they're choosing an auspicious day to hold it. Plus, it's the release of two new films starring the two leads. The timing is just... amazing.

The two exchanged a knowing glance. Zhu Yanmanzi's cheeks flushed slightly, and her heart suddenly raced. The thought of the night of the 11th in two days made her feel like she was in a dream.

When it comes to such things, young girls always seem to have a more romantic and idealistic perspective than boys.

Chen Jin, on the other hand, was experiencing a surge of hormones and had already fallen into lustful thoughts.

The two were lost in their blissful daydreams when Yan Ning's voice rang in their ears: "It's almost time~~"

Chen Jin instantly realized what was happening and quickly headed towards the living room.

Zhu Yanmanzi lowered her head, covered her slightly flushed face, and kept breathing.

"What's wrong, Zzz?"

Seeing Zhu Yanmanz sitting there fanning her face, Zhu Weitao quickly asked, "Are you hot?"

"Kind of!"

Zhu Yanmanz was also very anxious; why was her heart beating so fast?!
"Zzz, are you alright?"

Chen Jin also pretended to be very concerned and asked, of course he knew why the other party was like this.

"Maybe I was just too excited about this birthday!"

Zhu Yanmanzi looked up, lying without batting an eye. Yan Ning, who had just left the kitchen, turned back and smiled, saying, "It's normal. I'm 18 now, an adult. It only happens once in a lifetime!"

As she spoke, she took out a cake that she had prepared earlier from the refrigerator, but Chen Jin said, "Auntie, I also ordered a cake, it should be here soon!"

"what?"

Zhu Yanmanzi's whole family was somewhat surprised.

Even Zhu Yanmanz herself didn't expect this.

"I'm thinking of giving Zizi an unforgettable 18th birthday!"

"I had one specially made!"

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

Chen Jin's phone suddenly rang.

A short while later, the door to Zhu Yanmanz's house was knocked open.

The Holiland deliveryman presented Chen Jin with a beautifully packaged cake gift box, holding it out with both hands.

This is Holiland's current high-end custom cake series – the Black Swan series.

"thank you!"

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Chen Jin smiled slightly at the deliveryman.

"?"

The delivery guy looked familiar, and it wasn't until the door closed that I suddenly realized who he was.

Holy crap, isn't that Chen Jin?
Chen Jin!!!

Is this his home?

The delivery guy turned around abruptly, looked at the address, and quickly took a picture.

Meanwhile, at Zhu Yanmanzi's home.

Chen Jin, holding a custom-made black swan cake, approached Zhu Yanmanzi, who was covering her mouth: "Happy birthday, my leading lady!"

Yan Ning glanced at her husband beside her and suddenly wiped her eyes with emotion.

Perhaps her husband is right.

My daughter's happiness is more important than anything else.

Chen Jin is such a genius! What girl could resist such a sudden surprise and romance?!
"..."

Zhu Yanmanzi's eyes were also a little red, and her slender, beautiful fingers slowly pulled open the ribbon wrapping the cake.

Layer upon layer... just like her heart pounding at this moment.

Wow.

Suddenly, a beautiful cake shaped like two crystal pink swans sitting with their heads bowed and necks intertwined appeared in everyone's sight.

Beautiful and elegant.

There was also a greeting card tucked inside.

This was, of course, a blessing that Chen Jin personally wrote for his girlfriend.

"Honey:

Today marks the second autumn we've known each other in our story.
Like the white-flowered tree in "Under the Hawthorn Tree," or the innocent and naive heart in "So Young."

And your innocent smile still makes the whole summer feel clear and refreshing.

A new year begins, marking the transition into adulthood.

May you not have Jingqiu's anxiety, nor Zhengwei's regrets.

Only the third brother's unwavering words, "I will wait for you for a lifetime,"

There's also Chen Xiaozheng's vow, "I will love you until I grow old."

May every morning be filled with anticipation, like the opening scene of a movie.

And I will always be the one standing in the light and shadow, waiting for you to weave dreams with me.

Happy birthday, my forever leading lady.

—Chen Jin, I'll always look forward to acting alongside you!
