Chapter 306 The Clever and Thoughtful Fan
Fan Binbin linked arms with Jing Tian, and the two walked ahead, whispering to each other.
Fu Yibai and Guo Zhenni walked behind, a few steps apart.
"Mr. Fu, shall we go straight back to the villa?"
Guo Zhenni asked.
"Look at them."
Fu Yibai looked at the backs of the two women in front of him.
Fan Binbin said something, and Jing Tian covered her mouth and laughed, her shoulders shaking slightly.
Seeing that Jing Tian's mood had improved, Fu Yibai shook his head with satisfaction.
"Tian Tian, how about you come home with me tonight?"
Fan Binbin took Jing Tian's hand and asked softly.
"Sister Binbin, I've booked the hotel..."
Fan Binbin stopped and turned to look at Jing Tian.
"What's so great about staying in a hotel? You're all alone in Los Angeles, it's so lonely in a hotel."
"Yi Bai's villa has several empty guest rooms. Why don't you come and stay there? We can have a good talk."
Jing Tian opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but when she met Fan Binbin's smiling eyes, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.
"Wouldn't that be too intrusive?"
"Don't bother me, it's settled then."
Fan Binbin tightened his grip on her arm, his tone leaving no room for argument.
Jing Tian was pulled by her towards the parking lot. She glanced back at Fu Yibai, her eyes filled with a mix of embarrassment and unspoken expectation.
Fu Yibai walked behind, watching the backs of the two women in front of him.
He probably understood what Fan Binbin was thinking.
Every woman who can reach this position in the entertainment industry is a shrewd and calculating person.
She linked arms with Jing Tian, smiling affectionately, talking about their deep sisterly bond, but Fu Yibai could guess seven or eight parts of what she was really up to.
But Fu Yibai could also see that Fan Binbin's kindness towards Jing Tian wasn't entirely calculated.
What she said at the dinner table, her advice to Jing Tian to return to China to develop her career, was sincere.
She saw a reflection of herself when she first arrived in Hollywood in Jing Tian.
The two conflicting thoughts led to tonight's attempt to persuade him to stay.
Fu Yibai snapped out of his thoughts and quickly followed.
The car came to a stop in front of the villa.
Fan Binbin opened the car door, took Jing Tian's hand, and walked inside.
"Come in, come in, don't be shy, make yourself at home."
Jing Tian was pulled inside by her.
Fan Binbin poked his head out of the kitchen, carrying two bottles of sparkling water.
She handed one bottle to Jing Tian, opened one for herself, took a sip, leaned back on the sofa, sank into the soft leather cushions, and let out a satisfied sigh.
"worn out.
"I filmed all day, and then chatted with you for so long."
Jing Tian held a bottle of sparkling water and sat down at the other end of the sofa.
She sat very properly, with her back straight and her legs together, like a little girl visiting someone's home for the first time.
Fan Binbin turned his head to look at her and smiled.
"Relax, nobody here wants to eat you."
Jing Tian blushed slightly, put her legs down, and leaned back on the sofa.
"I went upstairs to take a shower."
Binbin, Jenny, please take good care of Jingtian.
"Okay."
Fan Binbin waved his hand.
Only three people remained in the living room.
Fan Binbin put down her sparkling water, stood up, walked to Jing Tian, and took her hand.
"Come on, let me show you the room."
The two went upstairs.
The guest room is the second one at the end of the corridor on the second floor, next to Fan Binbin's room.
The room wasn't big, but it was decorated with care, with light gray sheets, a beige carpet, and a small balcony outside the floor-to-ceiling window offering views of the swimming pool and distant mountains.
Jing Tian stood on the balcony, the night breeze blowing and lifting the stray hairs on her forehead.
Fan Binbin stood next to her, his hands on the railing, looking up at the stars.
"Sister Binbin."
Jing Tian's voice was soft.
"Um?"
"Thank you."
"What are you thanking me for?"
"Are you thanking me for letting you stay at my house?"
Fan Binbin made a joke.
"No, thank you for letting me know what I want."
"Oh?"
"I've decided not to make movies in Hollywood anymore."
I want to go back to my country.
"Have you figured it out?"
"Yes, I'm going back to China to finish my studies first."
I'll be developing my career domestically from now on.
"You haven't graduated yet?"
Fan Binbin looked at Jing Tian with some surprise.
Jing Tian lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Yes, I dropped out of school early to film a movie."
Her voice was soft, tinged with regret.
"Looking back now, I should have finished my studies."
Fan Binbin nodded. The distant mountain shadows were faintly visible in the night, and the pool water reflected the lights, rippling with tiny waves.
"That's fine too."
Only with a solid foundation can one go further.
There are many opportunities in China right now, and with your qualifications, you're sure to have a bright future.
If you need help, come to me.
I still have some connections in this industry.
"Sister Binbin..."
With tears in her eyes, Jing Tian threw herself into Fan Binbin's arms.
"What's wrong?"
Jing Tian didn't answer, but buried her head deeply in Fan Binbin's neck.
"Okay. Let's go take a shower."
Let's sleep together tonight, and I'll have a good talk with you.
"what?"
Jing Tian paused for a moment, then looked up at Fan Binbin blankly.
"Shall we...sleep together?"
"What, you don't want to?"
Fan Binbin raised an eyebrow, his tone slightly mischievous.
"How about I have Yi Bai come and keep you company?"
Jing Tian's face flushed instantly, the redness spreading from her cheekbones to her ears, and from her ears to her neck, turning her face completely red.
"Sister Binbin! What did you say?!"
Fan Binbin laughed heartily and pulled her hand, leading her towards the bathroom.
"Just kidding, just kidding."
"Come on, come on, I brought face masks, let's put them on and chat."
The bathroom door was closed.
The sound of rushing water filled the air, mixed with the low laughter and voices of the two women.
