Chapter 205 - "Is this the residence to Screenwriter Gu Nian?" (1)

Something suddenly occurred to Gu Nian. She turned around and asked, “Oh, are you on your way into the office?”

“It’s fine.” Luo Xiu turned around and glanced over at the two girls, quiet like chickens, following behind Gu Nian before he said tenderly, “Are you here to talk about a partnership with Dingke Media?”

“Yeah, we have a script.....” Gu Nian paused a little. Turned, “How did you know?”

The smile in Luo Xiu’s eyes remained unchanged. “Giving your profession, wouldn’t there be only one reason for you to be here?”

“Oh, I guess so.”

Gu Nian didn’t think much of it and replied with a smile.

Jiang Xiaoqing and Qin Yuanyuan exchanged and look. They saw the complicated emotions on each other that was obvious on their faces.

Jiang Xiaoqing scooted over Qin Yuanyuan some and said lowly, “Luo Xiu is so scary. His mannerism is completely different from the other night when Gu Nian was drunk. Do you think he has multiple personality disorder?”

Qin Yuanyuan, “Looks it.”

Jiang Xiaoqing, “Compared to him, do you still find that Boss Zheng scary? At least Gu Nian knows to turn and run when that Boss Zheng gets close. With Luo Xiu.... I think even if he had eaten her alive, she would still be counting how nice and tender he is with her fingers while lying in his belly.”

Qin Yuanyuan, “....”

Qin Yuanyuan looked at the two that were not far away from them. The girl’s bright smile was lined by the warm sun. She was completely different from the alarmed person just a little while ago.

Looking up at the person next to her, even her eyes were filled with light.

Qin Yuanyuan sighed and turned back over. “I must say, even though you are mostly a Foolish Fair, and Sweet but, when you are an outsider, you still have some animal instinct when it comes to relationships.”

Jiang Xiaoqing, “..... Scram, scram, scram. YOU are Foolish, Fair, and Sweet.”

Inside the lobby of Dingke Media.

Zheng Haolei had not move from the same spot since Gu Nian and the others had left. He did not look happy but only stared at the backs of those who had already gone far.

It was almost noon time and there were more and more people in the lobby. Zheng Haolei was in a trance, but Jin Kun was getting more and more uncomfortable.

Zheng Haolei recollected himself, lowered his eyes, and said in a displeased tone, “What is it?”

Jin Kun dared not say that “you had been staring for so long that I want to call your spirit” back. He eyeballs rolled around and he put on a fawning smile. “This Luo Xiu seemed to be Miss Gu’s favorite actor. He, too, belongs to our company.”

Zheng Haolei paused a little, his eyes relaxed. “Just an actor that she likes?”

“Yes. That’s what the two other girls that was with her said. Miss Gu didn’t deny that either.”

“She’s a fangirl, huh?” Zheng Haolei seemingly talked to himself when he turned around.

Jin Kun said in a low voice, “If you don’t like this Luo Xiu guy, I can––“

Zheng Haolei, who was about to take off, narrowed his eyes languidly, “Can what?”

Jin Kun’s words were choked back by the look. He asked tentatively, “Can.... put him in his place. And, if he didn’t get the hint, teach him a lesson?”

Zheng Haolei paused. “Teach who a lesson?”

Jin Kun, “Uh, Luo Xiu?”

Zheng Haolei was so angry that he busted out laughing. “You feel that you have lived long enough or something?”

Jin Kun, “........?”

Jin Kun was stunned motionless where he was.

Before he could figure out what exactly did Zheng Haolei mean by that, Zheng Haolei had already put away his smile, hrumphed, turned and walked away.

***

Ever since they had returned from Dingke Media, both Jiang Xiaoqing and Qin Yuanyuan had an unspoken understanding to not bring up Zheng Haolei at all in front of Gu Nian.

Gu Nian didn’t mind that all that much and had, on different occasions, wanted to tell them the rest of the story but, as the opportunity never arose, Gu Nian had forgotten about it over time.

All the way until one day when the three returned from grocery shopping, Jiang Xiaoqing bounced out of the elevator and dashed around the corner to open the door with Gu Nian and Qin Yuanyuan slightly behind her. They suddenly heard a surprised call from Jiang Xiaoqing.

“Oh wow, what is this??”

“?”
