Chapter 415: She’s Really Unlucky
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Murong Qiao and Nan Hao did not expect to meet each other at the western restaurant after that day.
Nan Hao couldn’t even care less about the customers calling out to him. He brought Murong Qiao and Ruan Ying to the best seats in the shop.
He stiffly took out the menu and placed it in front of Murong Qiao and Ruan Ying. His head was clearly lowered, but he had a feeling that Murong Qiao was looking at him and sizing him up.
Just thinking about such a scene made Nan Hao want to crawl into the ground and not meet his Little Sister again.
“Give me a plate of sirloin steak… Lastly, I’ll have your restaurant’s original mousse. I want the cranberry-flavored one.” Murong Qiao quickly composed herself.
From her tone of ordering, it was obvious that she was a regular here. It was Ruan Ying’s first time here, and she had also chosen the food under her recommendation.
Nan Hao endured the mush in his mind and left almost immediately after ordering.
“…Why do I feel that you guys are behaving strangely? Do you know each other?” Ruan Ying was confused.
She didn’t know the relationship between Murong Qiao and Nan Hao, but her intuition told her that the atmosphere between Murong Qiao and this waiter was strange. It was obvious that something was wrong.
Murong Qiao retracted her gaze from Nan Hao’s back. “I know him.”
While Murong Qiao was dealing with Ruan Ying’s gossipy questions, Nan Hao, who had just gone out, was pulled away by another waiter to ask.
“That girl just now is quite beautiful. Do you know her? Introduce her to me!” the boy asked him.
Nan Hao glanced at him coldly. “I don’t know her.”
How could he introduce such a person to his Little Sister? He was not worthy of her.
Nan Hao waved his hand to avoid the other party’s approach and turned to go to the toilet.
“Phew…” He hid in the cubicle and let out a long breath.
Nan Hao originally wanted to help his family share the pressure, so he came here to work.
Ever since his Second Brother fell sick, he had to apply for leave from work. The heavy burden of family life and financial support fell on Nan Xuan, who was working hard outside every day.
Big Brother, who was originally calm, cheerful, and occasionally jokes, became even more silent. When Second Brother was lying in the hospital, he was also indifferent to his illness. Instead, he liked to endure the torture of his illness and said that he was atoning for his sins.
Nan Hao had never thought that life would become like this.
He had been a little absent-minded in his studies these few days. He even felt that he was a burden to this family and vaguely regretted choosing to follow his two Big Brothers home previously. Now, he had become a burden to them.
However, it was naturally impossible for him to tell Nan Xuan and Nan Jin this. However, this thought seemed to have taken root and sprouted in Nan Hao’s heart, becoming an existence like a towering tree.
Hence, there was the scene of Murong Qiao and Nan Hao meeting at the western restaurant.
In order to reduce the burden on his family, Nan Hao privately decided to use his free time to come out and work.
Although he had no experience and was very arrogant previously, his looks alone at the door could attract many girls to come in and spend. After thinking about it again and again, the manager still asked him to stay.
But Nan Hao had never thought of letting Murong Qiao see him like this and making him feel embarra.s.sed.
He hid for a while as if he was escaping. He even handed the matter of serving the dishes to the other waiters.
After Murong Qiao saw that the waiter had changed, she changed the topic without a trace and talked to Ruan Ying about something else.
Most of it was about An Nuo. Recently, An Nuo had been so busy that her feet did not touch the ground. She had become a spinning top. After filming the advertis.e.m.e.nt here, she had to leave again. Other than going home to rest at night, Murong Qiao could not see her most of the time.
“QL? Is that what I think? I remember using their cosmetics,” Ruan Ying said with a smile.
After learning that An Nuo’s endors.e.m.e.nt was with QL, although Ruan Ying did not know much, she knew that An Nuo was very impressive.
“By the way, it’s actually not very useful to have an informant in QL. Qiaoqiao, can you make a suggestion to your company to modify it later?” Ruan Ying asked again.
Most girls liked to study makeup, and Ruan Ying was no exception.
However, when her words landed in Murong Qiao’s ears, they reminded her why she found this brand familiar previously.
It seemed to be a branch company of Shengjing Group.
Murong Qiao recalled the doc.u.ment she had seen when she went to look for her Big Brother. QL’s name was written on it.
With this thought, Murong Qiao was relieved with An Nuo.
On the 13th floor of QL Company, the studio was already set up. The busy staff around them were in an orderly manner, arranging the props needed for the filming environment and waiting for the artistes to come over later.
At this moment, An Nuo was in the dressing room on the other side of the corridor. The makeup artist was thinking about the theme makeup for today’s shoot.
“Your skin is quite fresh. It’s good for a girl to look so young.” The makeup artist sighed.
An Nuo sat there and let her apply the makeup for more than an hour. She sat upright and did whatever she wanted, but she was not impatient or put on airs. The makeup artist had a good impression of her.
An Nuo was a little embarra.s.sed by the praise. “Fortunately, I’m already resistant to sugar.”
She looked at herself in the mirror and looked curiously at the completely different makeup on her face. It was as distinct as the black and white swans and had different beauty.
The two of them were chatting when there was suddenly a knock on the door.
Without waiting for permission, a man pushed the door open and entered. He sat down beside An Nuo. His wanton actions made An Nuo feel a little disgusted.
“h.e.l.lo, Director,” the makeup artist greeted.
An Nuo sat on the chair. From the angle, she couldn’t see the change in the makeup artist’s expression.
The director nodded casually. “Go out.”
This was naturally referring to the makeup water because the director’s gaze had been fixed on An Nuo since she entered.
“This… I still have some makeup to finish.” The makeup artist hesitated.
However, the director immediately revealed an impatient expression. “Then come back later! If I tell you to leave, leave. What are you dawdling for?”
His tone was cold and hard, and the makeup artist couldn’t help but leave. She didn’t want to anger the director and lose her job.
An Nuo had a bad feeling.
After the makeup artist left, An Nuo stood up as well. “I’m sorry, I still have to call my friend about something…”
She was about to find an excuse to leave with the makeup artist and escape the discomfort of being alone with this director.
“Why are you leaving? Let’s talk in private.” However, the director smiled.
Not only was he smiling, but he also reached out to pull An Nuo, who had gotten up, back to her original seat.
This made An Nuo have no choice but to look at this director.
The other party’s appearance was ordinary. He was the kind of existence that one would forget at a glance when thrown into a crowd. However, he was wearing a coquettish and strange purple-red shirt, as if he wanted to show his uniqueness and give people a strange first impression.
“Don’t be in such a hurry to leave. This opportunity is a blessing that others can’t even dream of.” The director seemed to be a little smug.
His gaze swept across An Nuo’s round and fair shoulders and he smiled. “As long as you play with me for one night, I’ll give you the endors.e.m.e.nt for the next season of QL.”
Although it was not appropriate to use the word price clearly, An Nuo looked at the straightforward man in front of her and actually felt that it was strangely appropriate.
“…I’m not interested in this.” An Nuo’s face was tense.
She felt that she had encountered something she shouldn’t have touched, or something unclean.
Otherwise, why would she meet such a man after the incident at the hotel?
She was really unlucky..
