Chapter 633: The Boss Is So Strange
....

When Shen Xi often visited the design studio, even if Yan Xiu didn’t come out often, he could always hear the conversation of the two girls outside his studio.
Originally, there was only Yan Xiu and Xiao Gu in the design studio. Now that there was Shen Xi, it became much more lively.
Unfortunately, the video only attracted Yan Xiu for a while. Shen Xi had yet to think of a way to talk to the other party. After a while, she looked up and saw that he was gone.
“Huh?” Shen Xi looked around in confusion.
Xiao Gu took the initiative to remind her, “Boss has just returned to the studio, Young Miss Shen Xi.”
“…Ah,” Shen Xi replied half a beat slower.
Her gaze swept across the closed door, trying to see what the person inside was doing through it. However, the door was just there, like a solid barrier that blocked all prying eyes.
She had gradually calmed down because of her excitement.
Shen Xi sat in her seat in disappointment. Even when her chauffeur came in to remind her that it was time to go home, she still stood up hesitantly.
Xiao Gu also knew that Shen Xi had to leave at this time every day, so when she saw Shen Xi get up, she waved at her.
“See you tomorrow, Young Miss Shen Xi!”
Xiao Gu’s energetic and expectant voice couldn’t transmit these emotions to Shen Xi’s heart.
She only raised a faint smile and nodded gently. “Yes.”
Perhaps they won’t see each other tomorrow.
Shen Xi lowered her eyes and pushed open the door to walk out. Then, she got into the car and looked out of the car window at the scenery that quickly pa.s.sed by as the speed soared. She was a little absent-minded.
She had come out many times recently.
Her family usually cared about her health and didn’t agree with Shen Xi going out all the time. Even if she went out, they had to send many people to protect her, causing Shen Xi to not like to go out.
However, she had been coming to the design studio almost every day recently. This action undoubtedly attracted her mother’s attention.
After Shen Xi returned home, she indeed saw her mother, Su Rong, when she returned to her small courtyard.
“Xiao Xi? Where did you go to play again? I heard from the servants that you went to that design studio to look at clothes again?” As soon as Su Rong saw Shen Xi, she walked over and even sized up her daughter.
She had only given birth to one child in her life. She doted on her like a treasure.
Shen Xi shook her head obediently. “I was just walking around.”
“You’re not in good health. I’ll arrange a checkup for you at home later…”
Su Rong frowned and said to her daughter, “Mommy has been quite busy recently. Xiao Xi, can you stay at home well?”
Shen Xi had been weak since she was young. Coupled with the fact that she had secretly run out and had asthma some time ago, Su Rong’s attention to her daughter had increased to another level.
“…Alright.” Shen Xi nodded.
Su Rong immediately revealed a comfortable smile. “Be good and stay at home.
If you’re bored, call your friends over.”
Friends?
Shen Xi immediately thought of Xin Qingxue, who had been pestering her and would always appear from time to time, and felt disgusted.
However, she couldn’t refuse her mother’s kindness. Shen Xi could only nod and agree.
With this agreement, she didn’t go to the design studio for a few days.
The designer returned to his initial calmness, and the front desk became Xiao Gu’s alone.
“It’s been a few days…” Xiao Gu supported her chin with one hand and muttered.
She pinched her fingers and calculated. Ever since she said that she would see her tomorrow, Young Miss Shen Xi had not appeared. In addition, it has been a week since today.
For a moment, there was no one to talk to. Xiao Gu was still not used to it.
In fact, Xiao Gu was not the only one who was not used to it.
In the studio, Yan Xiu stared at the design in his hand for a long time, but he couldn’t set down the pen in his hand.
It was clearly his favorite quiet atmosphere and was most suitable for inspiration, but Yan Xiu felt that something was missing.
He looked at the design that he had already outlined countless times. After confirming that he still didn’t have any new ideas, he balled it up in his hand and threw it to the ground.
Countless paper b.a.l.l.s lay at Yan Xiu’s feet, as if they were silently telling him his thoughts today with a messy feeling.
Without any inspiration, he decided not to draw for the time being. Yan Xiu turned around, pushed open the door, and walked out to look at the shop.
“Boss?” Seeing that Yan Xiu rarely came out, Xiao Gu hurriedly perked up and said.
Yan Xiu glanced at her, but when he didn’t see the other person beside her, he lowered his eyes and pursed his lips. The corners of his lips were tense and pursed into a straight line, indicating that he was not in a good mood.
Yan Xiu replied casually and frowned as he glanced at the empty shop. “There aren’t any customers today?”
“Ah?” Xiao Gu was stunned.
She subconsciously replied, “There are guests, but they’re all gone now…”
The young ladies usually came in the morning or noon. At this time, they would all go for afternoon tea in the afternoon. How could they have the time to waste here?
Moreover, didn’t the boss usually hate having people make a fuss in the shop and disturbing him from designing?
“Oh.” Yan Xiu’s expression was indifferent.
Xiao Gu carefully looked at Yan Xiu’s expression, wanting to observe something from it, but Yan Xiu’s face didn’t reveal much useful information.
If only Young Miss Shen Xi was around.
This thought suddenly appeared in Xiao Gu’s mind. She was a little envious of Shen Xi’s sharp insight. This way, she could know what her boss was thinking.
Xiao Gu didn’t know what Yan Xiu was thinking, and Yan Xiu didn’t say anything. For a moment, the two of them fell silent.
Yan Xiu originally wanted to come out to relax, but looking at the empty shop, the strange feeling in his heart intensified.
He didn’t understand and simply returned to the studio.
“Phew—” Xiao Gu heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Yan Xiu leave.
“I keep feeling that the boss is so strange today.”
Xiao Gu couldn’t tell what she was feeling, but she felt that there was something wrong with Yan Xiu today.
He seemed—quite absent-minded.
Forget it, she couldn’t guess.
Xiao Gu sighed and looked in the direction of the door. She wondered when Young Miss Shen Xi would come.
Recently, the sky had always been a little gray and cloudy, as if it was venting the rain that would come at any time.
This kind of weather was the norm recently, and it also made people’s enthusiasm for work much less positive.
Especially after lunch, she felt even more sleepy, making her eyelids flutter. She felt like she was about to fall asleep at any time.
Even someone as hardworking as Murong Qiao couldn’t help but yawn at the computer screen.
It was not that she was really sleepy, but it was raining outside and the air conditioner was comfortable, making Murong Qiao unable to help herself.
There was no one in the office at this moment. Murong Qiao simply leaned on the table and stared at the doc.u.ments, her posture relaxed a little.
At this moment, Jiang Chi pushed the door open and entered to report.
He placed the reports in front of Murong Qiao. “Ning Xiunian, whom you mentioned last time has already replied. He said that we can sign the contract.” “That’s good news.” Murong Qiao perked up when she heard this.
Her mind immediately became active. “There’s a lot of room to talk about the contract. As long as he’s willing to come, our company will have an additional golden signboard.”
“Coincidentally, when Ning Xiunian comes, we can start contacting the studios for some male lead scenes. Didn’t we receive a few scripts previously?” Murong Qiao directly arranged this matter.
Previously, it was always An Nuo who was the signboard, but no matter how many scripts there were, she could only take on the female lead role. There was still so much meat that she couldn’t bite into. Murong Qiao had been craving it for a long time..
