When Murong Qiao left the club, the sky had already turned into evening.
The dim yellow and beautiful pink mixed with the dim yellow of the setting sun, dyeing the sky an extremely beautiful color. Even the surrounding clouds curled up, outlining the irregular edges, like various strange little animals rolling around.
Murong Qiao suddenly found it interesting, so she took a photo and sent it to Huo Yichen. Then, she stood by the roadside and took a taxi.
She knew that she won’t be able to make any further progress with Tang Huai today, so she could only return home.
However, her original intention to go home changed when she realized that the computer she usually used was still in the company.
Murong Qiao calculated that it was a short journey and decided to go back herself.
However, this time was the peak period of the traffic jam, so Murong Qiao waited for a full 20 minutes before finally arriving at the entrance of the company.
She got out of the car and paid the driver, but when she turned around, she almost b.u.mped into someone.
“—Ah!” Murong Qiao said subconsciously, shielding her chest with her hands.
Cen Qianmo, who was standing beside Murong Qiao and almost b.u.mped into her, reacted extremely quickly. He took a step to the side and pulled Murong Qiao back. This prevented the tragedy of the two of them falling.
Cen Qianmo waited for Murong Qiao to steady herself before saying, “I didn’t notice you just now. I’m sorry.”
He was thinking about something just now, so he didn’t notice that there was suddenly someone behind him.
“I’m fine, I’m fine…” Murong Qiao heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as she didn’t fall, everything was fine.
She steadied her breathing a little. “You—why are you here?”
“My friend has a company here,” Cen Qianmo replied without changing his expression.
Actually, he was just pa.s.sing by when he was driving after work. Thinking of the photos he had taken that day, he subconsciously walked over. However, he didn’t expect to meet Murong Qiao in the next second.
Perhaps because he had seen the person he was thinking about, the smile on Cen Qianmo’s face became more genuine and dazzling.
“Sorry, I have to go back to the company first. I can’t talk today.” Murong Qiao pointed in the direction of her company.
Initially, she was also surprised to meet Cen Qianmo. She didn’t intend to talk much.
Cen Qianmo understood. “Then we’ll talk another day.”
When Murong Qiao saw this, she was about to leave when she turned around. When her gaze landed on the person on the other side of the street, he stopped.
Nan Xuan?
Looking at the serious expression on the other party’s face as he held his briefcase and made a call, Murong Qiao blinked to confirm that she was not mistaken.
Her stunned reaction fell into the eyes of Cen Qianmo, who had been observing her at the side.
Hence, Cen Qianmo followed Murong Qiao’s gaze and saw Nan Xuan at a glance.
The distance was very far, so Cen Qianmo could only see the other party’s general appearance.
“Is that a friend?” he asked casually.
Murong Qiao had no intention of hiding it and gave an answer. “He’s my brother.”
Even if the Nan family no longer existed, the blood relationship between the two of them couldn’t be denied.
The moment she saw Nan Xuan, what she had heard from the front desk appeared in Murong Qiao’s mind.
However, when she paused for a moment, Nan Xuan seemed to have left in a hurry because of something urgent. He didn’t notice Murong Qiao’s gaze or presence.
Accidentally b.u.mping into Nan Xuan had disturbed Murong Qiao’s calm mind.
She could only hurriedly say goodbye to Cen Qianmo and walk into the company.
On the other hand, Cen Qianmo stood on the spot and looked thoughtfully at the spot where Nan Xuan was just now. He frowned slightly.
Even though he had just returned not long ago, Cen Qianmo still had a certain level of understanding of the people in the circle, not to mention that Murong Qiao was someone he cared about.
From his outstanding memories, the appearance of the person just now didn’t belong to any of the five people from the Murong Family.
Instead, it made Cen Qianmo remember that Murong Qiao was only found later. This was not a secret in the circle.
It seemed like this was a brother from before. Cen Qianmo locked onto Nan Xuan’s ident.i.ty.
Nan Xuan didn’t know that while he was making a call just now, Cen Qianmo had unilaterally recognized him.
Under the dim yellow sky, even the figures of the pedestrians were lengthened.
There were too many cars in the evening to count. One by one, they parked in an orderly manner in front of the intersection at the traffic lights, waiting for their own countdown.
Amidst the surging crowd, he casually pushed open the door of a cafe and walked in to find a seat to sit down and rest.
In order to set things in order with his own company, Nan Xuan had been spinning like a top for the past few days.
He visited several locations today to choose the place for his company.
His stomach, which had remained empty since noon, ached a little, but Nan Xuan had no time to care so much. After hurriedly taking a sip of the ice Americano, he took out his laptop and started a new round of work.
While replying to many people, Nan Xuan even took the time to send a message to Nan Jin.
[I might go back later today. You and Nan Hao can settle your own dinner.]
It was concise and clear.
When the message was sent to Nan Jin’s phone, he had just ended the recording of today’s variety show.
After being recommended by Qin Huan to join the production team, the manager was also happy. Hence, after discussing with the director, he accepted another variety show for Nan Jin.
At the same time, he would vaguely reveal his role in the drama. It could be considered as some early publicity. At the same time, he would let the fans know his movements and work.
But like enemies on a narrow road… he met Xian Yu again.
“Thank you for your partic.i.p.ation today, Teacher Xian Yu and Teacher Nan Jin. I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future.” The staff came over and bowed to the two of them to thank them.
Addressing Nan Jin as a Teacher was a habitual way of addressing artistes, but towards Xian Yu, the staff was sincere.
After a simple conversation, the staff left. The artistes all had their own jobs and left quickly, leaving only Xian Yu and Nan Jin in the dressing room.
“Thank you for being in the same group as me today, Senior,” Nan Jin took the initiative to say.
Putting aside the facts, he thanked him politely.
This time, for some reason, when Xian Yu was filming the show, he specially chose a seat beside Nan Jin. Even when he was asked to form a team in the game, he took the initiative to say that he wanted to be in the same team as Nan Jin.
Although there seemed to be nothing wrong on the surface, when he thought about how their rankings were always last every time it ended, even Nan Jin had to admit that Xian Yu was clearly messing with him.
It was the kind that was very targeted.
Hearing Nan Jin’s words, Xian Yu tapped the chair with one foot and turned it to face him with a playful expression.
“You’re always in last place, and you still want to thank me?” Clearly, Xian Yu also knew his “outstanding results”.
Nan Jin’s expression didn’t change. “If not for Senior Xian Yu bringing me along, I might not have even obtained such results.”
His tone sounded like he was saying that he was originally worse off, and only improved because of Xian Yu.
But it was obvious that without Xian Yu, Nan Jin’s performance on the variety show would definitely be better than today.
Fortunately, he had done enough work on publicity and popularity, so there was no big problem. Hence, Nan Jin didn’t get into a conflict with Xian Yu.
Xian Yu looked at Nan Jin as if he had discovered something interesting.
He suddenly leaned closer and stared at Nan Jin. “Don’t you think I’m going overboard?”
Xian Yu knew very well that after he found out that Nan Jin had also entered the entertainment industry, he couldn’t control his urge to prank him..
