Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Chen Sheng looked at the door, everyone’s gaze followed him. They saw a young man in a white suit with a sapphire blue shirt and a white tie walking in.
When Yuan Shu followed everyone’s gaze and looked over, she froze for a moment.
It was the man who played the zither at Lakeside Park that day, Mu Zhou.
Today, his hair was fixed on the top of his head with hair gel, so his broad forehead was revealed. Today, he seemed radiant yet melancholic.
Mu Zhou had obviously noticed Yuan Shu too. He walked straight in her direction and didn’t even greet Chen Sheng. Instead, he said to Yuan Shu, “What a coincidence. We meet again.”
His voice was soft and carried a hint of joy.
Yuan Shu couldn’t help but smile. “Mr. Mu, what a coincidence.”
Mu Zhou looked even more surprised. “You actually still remember my name?”
The others also heard the conversation between the two of them and started to jeer. The combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman always made these people in the entertainment industry start to gossip.
One of them said, “Oh really? Looks like there’s some inside story?”
When he said this, he only wanted to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere. However, someone suddenly made a sarcastic remark.
Another female celebrity said, “Madam Shi, you’re so impressive. You made Young Master Shi fall in love with you at first sight and marry you, and made another man so happy just because you remembered his name. Why don’t I have such talent?”
When Shi Lu heard this, he retorted, “Indeed, it’s impossible with your face, which has been under the knife for G.o.d knows how many times. Without real substance, how can you make guys fall for you?”
The female celebrity was rendered speechless by his retort. She glared at him angrily before turning to leave.
At this moment, Chen Sheng actually came out to smooth things over. “Alright, alright. Let me introduce everyone. This is Director Mu, who has just joined my next movie. He’s Mu Zhou! Everyone, get to know each other.”
Chen Sheng had the most say in the production team. The rest of the people didn’t have any other movie offers yet, so of course they wanted to take advantage of their current relationship to let Chen Sheng bring them to the next movie’s cast. Hence, they all catered to him and said all sorts of pleasantries.
Mu Zhou seemed like he wasn’t used to such an occasion. He dealt with other people’s jokes awkwardly and occasionally looked at Yuan Shu, who was standing beside him with ease.
After a moment, he secretly touched Yuan Shu’s hand that was holding the pearl handbag. His strength was so light that Yuan Shu almost didn’t notice it.
However, due to her sharp senses as a martial arts pract.i.tioner, Yuan Shu looked at him almost immediately, her eyes filled with confusion. “What is it?”
Mu Zhou gave her a pleading look. “Help me.”
Yuan Shu didn’t expect this outstanding man to be afraid of such occasions. Was it social anxiety?
Yuan Shu nodded comfortingly and whispered something into Shi Lu’s ear. Then, she took a few steps back with Mu Zhou when no one was paying attention and slowly retreated from the crowd.
It wasn’t until they reached a relatively quiet corner that Mu Zhou heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Thankyou so much.”
Yuan Shu said generously, “You’re welcome.”
Mu Zhou leaned against the wall to relax a bit. After a moment, he lowered his head again and looked at Yuan Shu, whose face was covered by her hair. He said in a daze, “I don’t think I know your name yet.”
There was a high chair in the corner. Yuan Shu was a little tired from standing, so she sat on it. After she crossed her legs and placed them on the beam of the chair in a comfortable posture, she said calmly, “My name is Yuan Shu..”
