Translator: 549690339 |

The scene was in total chaos.

Reporters were no longer interested in asking about Lily Gray and David Redington’s relationship problems.

Everyone’s attention was focused on David Redington’s retirement from the acting industry.

*

More than an hour later, the interview ended.

Lena Hammond and Blake escorted the reporters out, leaving only Lily Gray and David Redington in the lounge.

“David, why did you announce your retirement at the same time I announced my marriage status?”

Lily wasn’t stupid; she could sense it.

During the interview, David was intentionally interrupting her.

“Did I interrupt you?” David lowered his eyes, revealing an innocent expression, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were going to announce your marital status. I thought you were going to announce my retirement news.”

“I didn’t even know you wanted to retire!” Lily said with slight discontent.

“Really? I thought Blake would have told you by now.”

David raised his eyebrows, leaned on the sofa armrest, and looked at her with a hint of coldness, “I’ll retire after finishing this show. In this way, when ‘The Tale of The Beloved Mistress’ is released, it will definitely create a ratings legend. So, Producer Tang, are you satisfied with the news?”

“David, I don’t need you to use your retirement as a way to hype up my work.” Lily looked David in the eyes and spoke seriously.

David smiled at her words and suddenly stretched out his right hand to hook Lily’s chin, “So, you’re worried about me now, huh?”

“I’m not,” Lily moved back, avoiding his palm.

The warm touch of his fingers suddenly disappeared.

David couldn’t help but frown, “Lily, it’s not for the hype. I’m telling the truth. I made the decision long ago that I would retire after finishing this show.”

“You…” Lily looked at David’s serious expression and couldn’t help but want to persuade him.

He was an extremely talented actor.

Such a gifted person retiring at a young age; wasn’t it too soon?

But when the words reached her lips, they got stuck.

What right did she have to persuade him?

David’s life was not something that others could easily interfere with.

She had no standing to persuade him.

“As a friend, I will respect your decision to retire. But, retirement is a big deal, there are many interests involved. Won’t your agency be against it? And what about the fans, advertisers… After today’s news breaks, you might face a lot of obstacles. You… must be careful.”

What Lily said was indeed very important and serious.

However, when David heard her words, he couldn’t help but laugh.

His laughter reached the bottom of his eyes, as sincere and beautiful as sparkling stars, “So, you’re worried about me now, right?”

David’s smile at the corner of his mouth was so pure and beautiful that it made people feel sincere and wonderful.

Lily Gray looked away and didn’t look at his smile, “Indeed, I am concerned about you. But that’s just the concern between friends.”

Lily admitted that she really liked David.

But that kind of liking was not romantic.

She felt gratitude and concern for him as a friend, but never had any romantic feelings.

If David hadn’t been so good to her that it was hard for her to manage,

actually, she’d be very happy to be friends with him.

“It doesn’t matter,” David’s gaze lingered on Lily’s face.

Focused and serious.

“No matter which kind of concern you have for me, as long as you care about me, that’s enough.”

Lily Gray: “…”

David’s words, filled with undisguised emotion, left Lily defenseless.

She could only laugh awkwardly and was about to change the subject but heard him ask, “By the way, do you know about Starlight Orphanage?”
