"Hello."
"Where are you?"
"Having dinner with friends." Her voice was calm.
"How not to answer the phone?"
"I just muted it and didn't see it."
Shen Yanshi was silent for a moment. He originally felt that there was an urgent need to confirm something, but her two words of understatement seemed to leave him with nothing to ask.
He paused and then said: "I suddenly had something urgent to deal with today, and I forgot to tell you."
"Well, business matters."
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No, I waited for a while and thought you might not come, so I left first."
He thought she would at least lose her temper with him, after all, her temper was getting louder and louder now.
Unexpectedly, she didn't say anything.
But he felt inexplicably depressed and tugged on his tie: "Where are you now?"
"I'm at a friend's house. I'll treat you to dinner when I'm free next time. I have a shooting tomorrow morning and I want to go to bed. I'll hang up now."
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but the person on the other end had already hung up the phone.
He threw his phone away angrily.
-
Xiang Nuan put the phone on the table and sat on the carpet with his knees in his arms, feeling a little stunned.
Tao Junle brought two wine glasses over and handed one to her: "I said you shouldn't take it. You are already a person you can't fight with. We just break up and stay away from each other forever."
"He helped me after all."
Xiang Nuan picked up the wine glass and took a sip, speaking calmly.
"That's true. Speaking of it, he is indeed not bad to you. He even gave you a house after the breakup, and helped you solve your father's problem. Tsk, tsk, this rich man is so comfortable that even a little leakage between his fingers is enough. We, the people, will be grateful forever."
Xiang Nuan was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "He is indeed very good, but I was greedy."
He was a generous donor, but she accidentally thought of overstepping her bounds.
"I know everything. He likes Gong Nian. In his eyes, Gong Nian is different from anyone else. Whenever Gong Nian comes to see him, he will rush over immediately."
"But who am I? A pet chosen on a whim."
Tao Junle hugged her: "Don't talk about yourself like that. Anyway, the contract has been terminated now and your career is good. Why do you have to hang yourself on a man?"
Xiang Nuan twitched the corners of his lips: "Yeah."
In fact, it was fine, because after being woken up by this stick, she was much more awake and calm now, and some of the arrogant thoughts that had grown up unknowingly a while ago were instantly dissipated.
-
Early the next morning, Xiang Nuan cheered up again and went to shoot for the magazine.
The makeup artist frowned: "You didn't rest yesterday, okay? You look so tired."
"Well, I have a bit of insomnia. Thank you for your hard work."
"Fortunately, it's a magazine shoot, so it shouldn't be a big problem if you post it later. If you participate in the premiere event, you might be sniped again."
Xiang Nuan now has a black and red constitution, and she will be scolded to death if she is not careful, because she rises too fast, and her opponent's sunspots are always watching her make mistakes.
When Xiang Nuan started filming, she was completely in the zone.
At no time will her negative emotions affect her work.
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when the shooting ended.
Finally calling it a day, she took off her makeup, put on a lightweight sweatshirt and sweatpants, put on a fisherman hat, and was ready to leave.
But who would have expected that as soon as he walked out of the studio, he saw Shen Yanshi waiting outside.
Xiang Nuan paused.
Zheng Xuanlin laughed and said, "Why are Mr. Shen here? He's looking for Nuannuan, right? Let's go first!"
Shen Yanshi nodded, and Zheng Xuanlin immediately evacuated with the people in his team.
Xiang Nuan looked at him: "Why are you here?"
Shen Yanshi put one hand in his pocket: "Don't you want to invite me to dinner? Just today."
Xiang Nuan pursed his lips: "Okay."
"Are you still going to Wufuju?"
"Um."
Xiang Nuan pressed his hat and followed Shen Yanshi into the car.
It's only five o'clock now, and the restaurant is empty.
After entering the private room and taking a seat, Xiang Nuan ordered the dishes during the feast, and Xiang Nuan added an extra sweet soup.
"Why are you not in good spirits?" he asked her.
"I've been shooting all day, so I'm a little tired."
"Whose house did you stay at yesterday?"
Xiang Nuan frowned. Don't you think his question was abrupt?
She saw that he was quite polite when getting along with others, but how could he be so unreasonable to her?
"friend's house."
Shen Yanshi's eyes narrowed slightly, it was as if she hadn't said it.
"It happened suddenly yesterday, and I didn't have time to tell you."
Xiang Nuan nodded: "Yes, I know."
She is very docile, but also distant.
Shen Yanshi didn't like her behavior.
He took a deep breath and explained to her in a gentle tone: "What happened yesterday was my fault. I made you wait for a long time in vain. At that time..."
"I understand, I didn't wait long."
Chen Yanshi's face darkened: "Xiang Nuan, do you have to talk to me like this?"
Xiang Nuan was startled: "Do I have a bad attitude?"
"If you are angry, just lose your temper with me and don't talk to me here."
"I have nothing to be angry about, and you don't need to go out of your way to explain to me. I only invited you to dinner to thank you. It's okay if you don't come."
Shen Yanshi raised his lips and said, "You make it sound as if the two of us have nothing to do with each other."
She looked at him and calmly drew a line: "It didn't matter in the first place."
