After Rebirth, I Decided To Inherit the Family Property

Chapter 31 Don’t ask, asking means being touched.

The commercial was shot in the suburbs of Yan City.

As soon as Song Yunran stepped out of the car, he had to squint at the fierce sun.

He had spent a lot of time indoors with air conditioning and usually didn’t find the summer temperatures too scary.
Now that he was outside without any shade, he realized that the sun was scorching his skin.

Wrong place to come.

He definitely didn’t want to walk around and move his legs in this weather.

Assistant Tang came over in time with an umbrella: “Mr Song, come this way.”

In fact, there was no need for him to say anything, Song Yunran already knew where the shooting location was.

It was only about two to three hundred meters away from them, and there were several prominent canopies there, so it was hard not to notice them.

As they got closer, the scene was clearly visible to them.

How should he put it? At first glance there was nothing else but the word “hot”.

The theme of this shoot was the brand’s new autumn/winter collection, and Qin Ke was wearing a long black trench coat under the scorching sun and a number of camera lights.

However, with a few more glances, the heat seemed to evaporate.

Qin Ke stood in the grass, changing his movements and angles according to the photographer’s instructions.

The expression between his eyebrows is very light, with a bit of a reserved coldness.
In contrast to the large aspen forest behind him, it creates a bit of a quiet and desolate atmosphere in the picture.

It is clearly a hot summer’s day, but somehow one gets the impression that in a few moments, cold snowflakes will be falling from the sky.

“Very good, one more for the side profile, yes, very good.”

The photographer was full of praise for his work.

Song Yunran knew this photographer.

He was known in the industry for his good skills and bad temper, and had been known to scold models into tears at every turn.

At this moment, he kept pressing the shutter, and the joy on his face was evident because he was extremely satisfied with Qin Ke.

Song Yunran was in a tricky mood because he had been scolded by this photographer in his previous life.

He wasn’t scolded as much as the others, but he still remembered the first time he worked with him.
He was about the same age as Qin Ke now, and was so excited to be on the cover of a magazine that he didn’t sleep all night.

When he arrived on set the next day, he hadn’t been shooting long when the photographer put down his camera and said coldly, “Did you drop your soul on the way here?”

Song Yunran didn’t lose his soul, but he lost all his face.

Although the photographer still praised him for his high level of comprehension after that day’s shoot, compared to the way Qin Ke is being treated now, it’s simply a difference between heaven and earth.

“Tsk.”

Remembering the past, Song Yunran was a little upset.

As he retreated to sit under the canopy, he saw Chen Jing, who was accompanying Qin Ke, chatting with Assistant Tang, so he beckoned the man over and asked, “Has today been going so well?”

Chen Jing laughed, “Yes, Qin Ke is doing so well, completely beyond our expectations.”

She pointed to the person in charge of the brand not far away and whispered, “Originally they were still uneasy before, but now they have absolutely nothing to say.”

Song Yunran nodded his head.

What an absurdity! How can he use the excuse that “Qin Ke must not be able to do it when the shooting just started” to save his own dignity!

But Chen Jing changed the subject: “Mr.
Song, the company has really unearthed a treasure this time.
You’ve just taken over Xinghe and you spotted Qin Ke at first glance, such vision and boldness is simply a role model for all our agents.”

’

Chen Jing was not usually the kind of person who liked to flatter and praise.

Her attitude and tone of voice when she said this was exceptionally sincere, proving that she really did feel this way in her heart.

Song Yunran was strutting again.

He raised his chin, as proud as a rooster who had won a battle, but had to pretend to be modest: “Don’t say that, it’s not good for outsiders to hear, you can talk about it on stage at the company’s annual meeting.”

Chen Jing: “……”

This means that you will appoint the program for the annual meeting yourself?

The two of them were chatting when the photographer finished shooting one set of clothes and informed them that they could take a ten minute break before switching to the next set.

As soon as the camera was taken away, Qin Ke slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how well he hid it during the shoot, the discomfort of being on the verge of heatstroke was always real.

Assistant Xiao Ke came over with a fan and ice water, “Xiao Song is here too.”

“Well, I saw them.”

Qin Ke took a sip of water, took off his trench coat and handed it to the brand’s staff, saying to the other party, “Can we wait a bit?”

The staff was understanding: “It’s okay, you can rest first and then we can shoot.”

There were several portable air conditioners placed in the canopy, blowing cool air with a swish, and it was a few degrees cooler inside than outside.

Feeling a little more comfortable, Qin Ke walked over to greet him, ” Xiao Song.”

Song Yunran looked the other way, his eyes staggering.

The chair he was sitting in was very short, just enough for him to turn his eyes to focus on Qin Ke’s waist and belly level as soon as he turned his head.

When they said they were shooting autumn and winter clothes, it was impossible for people to actually wear three layers inside and three layers outside.

The trench coat was taken off, and what Qin Ke was wearing was a white T.
The fabric was thin and clung to his body.
The narrow, thin shape inside was faintly visible.

Song Yunran’s breathing was unsettled for no reason: “Why are you standing, sit down and talk.”

“Sit here in my place.” Chen Jing took the initiative to give up her seat, “I’ll go and talk to Assistant Tang about something else.”

Qin Ke thanked her and sat down in Chen Jing’s seat.

This time, Song Yunran felt that something was not right again.

The cooling range of the portable air conditioner is too small, and the two chairs are very close to each other.
Earlier, when Chen Jing sat down, there was nothing wrong, but now when Qin Ke sat down, it was as if a big stove had suddenly appeared next to him.
Even if they didn’t touch each other, he could feel the temperature of the other’s body.

If this were the usual case, Song Yunran might have told him to go elsewhere.

But he had just finished a photo shoot under the scorching sun and probably came over for some air conditioning, so the boss couldn’t just kick him out.

It would be bad for Song’s good image to talk about that.

When Qin Ke saw him frowning, he abruptly asked, “Have you recovered from your injury?”

Song Yunran was originally entangled in a dilemma, and when he heard Qin Ke’s concern for his buttocks as soon as he opened his mouth, he almost fell down again while sitting still.

He barely managed to steady himself and said angrily, “What are you asking in public?”

Qin Ke raised his eyebrows and said in a light voice, “My fault, I’ll ask again when it’s just the two of us.”

“Can’t you just not ask? Since I’m sitting here, I must be fine.”

’

Song Yunran didn’t know where the shame and anger in his heart came from, and while he disliked himself for being so pretentious as a man, he lifted the collar of his T-shirt and waved it over his face.

This T-shirt of his was a loose-fitting style with a wide neckline.

With a few tugs, a small patch of skin on his chest was exposed.

It was quite white.

The staff members passing by could not help but glance at him.

Qin Ke was silent for a few seconds, but finally couldn’t bear to look at him and helped him pull the collar back up: “Mind your image.”

Song Yunran’s movement stopped and he quietly lowered his arms.

The next thing that struck him was that, it wasn’t right, how could Qin Ke be in charge of him?

How can this be true?

There is no self-awareness of being a son.

Speaking of a son, Song Yunran’s inspiration came.

He slowly lifted his head and looked at Qin Ke with a smile in his eyes, and while his heart began to brew with emotion, there were two little people conversing in his mind.

One said, “What a great endorsement, Qin Ke must really like it.”

The other said, “Yes, we’ve given him enough this time, it’s too much if he doesn’t say “Daddy” anymore.”

Song Yunran took a deep breath and said in a slow voice, “You ……”

“Qin Ke.”

A sudden voice interrupted Xiao Song’s performance.

Song Yunran looked back angrily to see which one of them had jumped out and gotten in the way.

It turned out that it was a staff member who had come to inform Qin Ke to go change his clothes.

“Be right there.” Qin Ke replied, standing up and asking, “What did you want to say just now?”

Song Yunran, full of fatherly love, choked in his throat and spoke through his teeth, “You go ahead and get busy.”

He took out his mobile phone and started playing a game indignantly, intending not to stop until he got what he wanted today.

Not far away, Chen Jing asked suspiciously, “It’s such a hot day, isn’t Xiao Song going to leave?”

Assistant Tang had a calm face: “Regular practice, you’ll understand after a while.”

Chen Jing: “……?”

Song Yunran was particularly devoted to playing the game.

He was the legendary type of person who was addicted to the game and once the Bluetooth headset was on, the world had nothing to do with him.

When his phone popped up with a low battery reminder, Song Yunran reluctantly quit the game, and when he looked up, he noticed that the sky had darkened at some point.

When he looked at the time, it was after 5pm, so three hours had passed without him realizing.

Song Yunran stood up and walked around the canopy a few times before suddenly realizing that something was wrong.

He pulled a staff member who was packing up his equipment and asked, “Are you done shooting?”

“Yes, the shooting went particularly well today.” The staff member said back happily.

’

Song Yunran was dumbfounded: “What about Qin Ke?”

I guess he’s already left!

Assistant Tang was really something, he just knew how to bury his head in his work there, and didn’t even bother to let him know.

The staff member raised his hand and pointed in a direction, “I just saw him heading towards the changing room, probably to get changed?”

“Thanks.”

When he heard that he hadn’t left yet, Song Yunran couldn’t be bothered to put his phone back into his pocket and ran to catch up with him.

This place was remote and there were no homes nearby, so when they said it was a changing room, it was actually just a simple portable room.

The outside looked very old, and it was unknown which crew had left it behind for everyone to use for free later.

Song Yunran stood outside the door with the words “Changing Room” written on it, and knocked on the door first to be on the safe side: “Qin Ke, are you still there?”

“Yes.” A familiar voice came from inside, “Come on in.”

Song Yunran was stunned, tried to hold the door handle and twist it, and it really did open.

He frowned as he looked in, and happened to see Qin Ke just straightening the hem of his T-shirt, his tight abs flickering in and out of view.

What the heck?

Song Yunran’s once professional instincts made him instantly displeased: “Do you have any sense of security as an artist, changing clothes without even locking the door?”

Qin Ke said, “Not ……”

“What not, don’t make excuses.
Didn’t Chen Jing even teach you that?”

Song Yunran walked in and with the idea of demonstrating it himself, lowered the lock on the door, “See, you have to lock the door as soon as you come in like I did, lest someone try to do something wrong.”

Qin Ke pursed his lips and looked at him with a complicated expression.

He looked at him with a complicated expression, as if he had something to say, but didn’t know where to start.

Song Yunran was puzzled by his stare and was about to ask a question when his brain instinctively explained for him.

This look, this expression, he couldn’t be mistaken.

It was definitely the kind of emotion that would only come out when you heard someone else’s concern for you in a heartfelt way.

Don’t ask, asking means being touched.

Song Yunran smiled proudly and picked up the conversation that had been interrupted before, “How do you feel about shooting today?”

Qin Ke sighed with mixed feelings before answering, “Not bad.”

“That’s definitely not bad, this is a job I’ve risked the rest of my life’s happiness to get for you.”

Song Yunran leaned against the wall, his eyes showing his smugness, “You like this endorsement a lot, don’t you? I heard you have to shoot a commercial tomorrow, are you excited about it?”

Qin Ke was silent for a few seconds, not really saying that there was nothing to be excited about.

After all, he had done so many commercials and taken on so many high-end luxury endorsements in his previous life that he had long since become accustomed to them.

But in the end, he nodded, “Well, thank you.”

Song Yun Ran waved his hand and smiled, “No need to say thank you.”

He cleared his throat and realised that he was still a bit nervous at the end of the day, so he quietly clenched his fist and said with three parts apprehension and seven parts anticipation, “As long as you call me dad, there will be more opportunities like this in the future.”

’

Qin Ke’s face was not the least bit surprised.

Perhaps it was because they had recently become much more familiar with each other.
He had guessed what was going on in this person’s head from the time Song Yunran was brewing his emotions there in the afternoon.

But he didn’t say anything, he just looked at the other man meaningfully, and then slowly curled his lips.

Song Yunran didn’t understand: “What are you smiling at?”

“Nothing, I just remembered something.”

Qin Ke said slowly and methodically, “If I remember correctly, when I had just finished auditioning for ”Jianghu Lu”, Xiao Song seemed to have made a bet with me? He said that if I failed the audition, I would have to call your dad.”

Song Yunran said angrily, “Why bring that up at this time, didn’t you end up not calling me dad?”

Qin Ke nodded: “Well, I just want to ask, since you lost, what should you call me?”

Song Yunran: “……”

How could this be!

So there was a trap waiting for him here!

Song Yunran pushed him to think that Qin Ke also wanted to be his father, so he hurriedly argued, “You didn’t say it yourself when you made the bet, so you can’t count it now.”

“Really?”

Qin Ke raised his eyebrows and smiled, then took a step with his long legs and slowly walked up to him, asking in a low voice, “Xiao Song, are you afraid to play?”

The warm breath and magnetic voice swept over him at the same time, causing a momentary twinge in Song Yunran’s heart.

In a flash, he remembered that the first time he asked Qin Ke to call him dad, he seemed to have said the exact same line.

Could it be that Qin Ke had been holding a grudge against him and was waiting for a chance to get back at him?

Song Yunran raised his eyes to meet Qin Ke’s sharp, narrow black eyes and saw a hint of laughter in those eyes.

His nerves trembled, as if he was an animal that had realized the danger that was coming, and he barely managed to maintain his overbearing expression while sneaking up to the door handle, intending to make a direct strategic retreat.

Qin Ke didn’t seem to notice his movements and was still concentrating on asking, “Xiao Song Chief, have you thought about it yet?”

And now!

Song Yunran gripped the door handle and pulled down hard!

The door handle didn’t move at all.

“……?”

Song Yunran tried two more times and found that the door still didn’t open.

He blinked blankly, wondering what was wrong.

It was only at this point that the smirk in Qin Ke’s eyes manifested itself unconcealed.

He stepped back, his voice lazy and pleasant: “By the way, I didn’t have time to mention earlier that this door is broken, and it won’t open from the inside when it’s locked.”
