Chapter 760: Small Effort
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After leaving An Nuo’s place, Murong Qiao had just returned home when she received a bunch of messages from the other party.
“Do you think I should bring any gifts this time?”
“To be honest, I still don’t know what he actually likes. I should have found an opportunity to ask him previously…”
“How about I wear the pink dress from before?”
“Or should I choose a new one?”
They were all scattered thoughts, but it was obvious that An Nuo paid a lot of attention to her visit to the Murong Family.
Often, before Murong Qiao could finish reading the last message, the next one was sent over.
Seeing that An Nuo’s attention was diverted from time to time and she was still so energetic, Murong Qiao didn’t have to worry too much about her for a moment. However, seeing that she was so troubled, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
She thought for a long time before replying to An Nuo.
“Just be yourself. Aren’t you still filming tomorrow?”
Murong Qiao had some understanding of An Nuo’s schedule. She had recently accepted a drama and was filming it. She still had to go to the production team tomorrow to work.
Under Murong Qiao’s persuasion, An Nuo finally stopped fantasizing and focused on the filming.
However, thinking of An Nuo’s serious att.i.tude towards Murong Cheng, Murong Qiao remembered the other party’s troubles and decided to look for her the next day.
The drama that An Nuo was recently involved in was adapted from her other novels. It was currently being filmed at the filming base in the city.
After Murong Qiao dealt with the matters at hand in the company, she contacted Jiang Chi and An Nuo’s manager and asked for the other party’s filming address before preparing to look for her.
The filming location was in a semi-open area, similar to the structure of a scenic spot.
Because it was a film base transformed from a portion of the scenic venue, this place would also open to the public to earn additional income and maintain operations.
When Murong Qiao took the car over, she could see through the car window that many tourists were taking photos outside under the sun.
“Miss, do you want to go in?” the taxi driver asked her.
Murong Qiao looked around. “Just go a little further in.”
She was not here to play. She was here to look for An Nuo and had no intention of delaying outside.
However, many places in the nature reserve needed to preserve their original state. The path was winding, making it difficult for the taxi to drive in.
Murong Qiao asked the taxi driver to send her to a spot slightly nearer. Then, she had no choice but to get out of the car and walk.
Moreover, the security of the film base didn’t allow cars to enter and exit at will. The film base was very tightly divided between tourists and the film crew. This was considered outstanding.
As the path here was too complicated, Murong Qiao felt a headache when she turned on the navigation system and took a look. She simply sent a message to An Nuo to see if the other party was free to come for her.
An Nuo quickly replied, telling her to stay where she was.
However, as the morning fog dissipated, the blue sky was cloudless and clear. The sun gradually became hot and became a little unbearable. The rising temperature brought about a test for the body.
Seeing how hot this place was, Murong Qiao chose to stand under the roof of a shop at the side. Fortunately, there was a supermarket nearby.
“Miss, we don’t accept this here.” The boss’s troubled voice came from inside.
Murong Qiao stood under the shadow of the eaves at the door and heard a conversation coming from inside. One of them was the boss, and the other was a young and arrogant girl.
“Is it not enough?” Another girl said in confusion.
However, she was speaking in a foreign language. Murong Qiao understood, but the supermarket owner didn’t.
To put it bluntly, she was just a shop owner. It was rare for her to make money from slightly higher-priced goods at the film base. The currency used by the foreign girl was not common here.
For a moment, she wanted to explain, but she couldn’t. She waved her hand in a panic, but she could only receive a puzzled look in response.
Murong Qiao understood everything. There was something wrong with the situation here, so she curiously opened the door and walked in. She saw a blonde girl with blue eyes standing in front of the boss. She held a bottle of beverage in one hand and a currency that was clearly not local in the other.
Standing in front of the boss was Kelly, who had come out to play alone.
Actually, such an awkward situation should not have happened.
However, Kelly didn’t want the bodyguards to follow her, and she felt that she could explore by herself. Hence, after coming out casually, she wanted to buy a bottle of water to drink since the weather was hot, but she realized that she didn’t bring the currency she had exchanged for.
Although she had already wanted to communicate with the boss in front of her in as simple a language as possible, the other party still couldn’t understand her intentions and kept waving her hand.
However, Kelly really wanted to drink the cold drink in her hand. She tried to communicate with the currency she had brought with her. It seemed that the process was not smooth.
“I’ll pay for her.” Murong Qiao raised her cell phone and scanned the code beside her.
It was only when Kelly saw her actions that it dawned on her. Then, she patted her wallet in frustration.
She had been so focused on drinking water that she had forgotten about this matter. She could have scanned the QR code.
The boss finally heaved a sigh of relief. She thanked Murong Qiao before selling the bottle of beverage.
Seeing that the person beside her had helped her, Kelly was a little embarra.s.sed. She wanted to look up and thank the other party for treating her to this drink. However, when she turned around and saw Murong Qiao’s face, she was a little speechless.
This was the first time she had seen such a beautiful girl.
Although she had seen a lot of people since she was young, even if it was a movie star, Kelly felt that they were no different from others. However, seeing Murong Qiao in front of her stunned her for a few seconds.
“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?” Murong Qiao saw her staring at her for so long and thought that something was wrong. She raised her hand to touch her face.
Kelly hurriedly shook her head. Instead, she blushed first and explained in embarra.s.sment, “You look better than anyone I’ve ever seen.”
She spoke her mind directly.
Could it be that all foreigners were so good at praising people?
Looking at the foreign girl with golden hair and green eyes who clearly looked like a standard sweetheart, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but laugh.
“Thank you for helping me just now,” Kelly said. “I forgot to scan the QR code just now. The weather is so hot. I’ll treat you to a bottle too.”
“That’s—” Murong Qiao was about to refuse.
She originally came in to see what was going on. Moreover, a drink that was only a few yuan was nothing.
However, someone outside called Murong Qiao’s name, attracting her attention.
It should be the person who came to pick her up.
Murong Qiao recalled the message An Nuo had sent her just now and immediately walked out again, forgetting to answer Kelly.
Kelly didn’t notice Murong Qiao’s actions. After saying that, she turned around and entered the supermarket, wanting to take out another bottle of water.
Murong Qiao walked out to take a look. She didn’t see An Nuo around, but she saw another acquaintance.
“Xu Xiuzhu?” Murong Qiao was really surprised to see the other party appear here.
After all, it was normal to see the other party in a recording studio, but this was a film base..
