Chapter 790: Discomfort Caused by Being Too Presumptuous
Editor: Henyee Translations
That day, after An Nuo received a call from her mother, she set her mind to resolve the matter completely.
However, she didn’t really want to be serious with the other party. She only wanted to make the trip to deal with her mother’s worry.
Otherwise, even if it was resolved this time, there would be a next time. Moreover, An Nuo already had someone she liked in her heart, so it was naturally impossible for her to accept someone else under such circ.u.mstances. “Help me push back my schedule for this afternoon.” An Nuo looked at the script in her hand and suddenly looked up from her manager.
She had contacted the other party and arranged to meet at a high-end restaurant this afternoon.
The manager also knew about this, so he nodded in surprise and remembered this matter.
“Recently, several dramas have requested your help. I’ll send you more information when the time comes.”
The manager said casually, “There’s no hurry to make a decision. However, according to your current popularity, it’s time to consider improving the quality of work you take on.”
In the past year, An Nuo had acted in many movies and dramas of various genres. Her face had long become familiar in the hearts of the audience.
She was no longer the small celebrity from before. But now that she had become a household name and the brands she endorsed had become high-end, she was still a little far from the top group of people.
The manager Murong Qiao a.s.signed to An Nuo was the best in the company. They had also spent a lot of money to hire him, so he was naturally very concerned about An Nuo, not to mention that An Nuo might be the best celebrity he had nurtured.
The manager had also put in a lot of effort because of this.
Recently, the two of them had been a little busy with work. Even An Nuo’s usually beautiful face was a little greenish-black under her eyes. It was because she was tired.
Alright, I understand.” An Nuo nodded, indicating that she would remember this matter.
She wanted to be a good actress, not a good idol or celebrity. That meant that her acting path had to be wider.
At the thought of this, An Nuo touched her face and thought that perhaps she should make some changes to break through the existing shackles.
Fortunately, the afternoon was free because of this. After discussing with the manager, An Nuo prepared to go to a high-cla.s.s restaurant to attend the appointment. The address sent by the other party was very clear and simple. As soon as An Nuo went to speak to the waiter at the door, she was led to a seat inside.
Although she had yet to meet the other party, looking at the decor and design of the restaurant, An Nuo had a sporadic good impression of this person.
After entering the restaurant from the entrance, there were a few well-arranged tables and chairs inside. After An Nuo walked in, she immediately saw the man sitting by the window. Coincidentally, the other party was also looking in her direction. After the two of them looked at each other, they instantly understood that this was the person they wanted to meet. “You’re even more beautiful than I imagined.” The other party stood up politely to welcome An Nuo and pulled out a chair for her considerately.
The first time they met, they naturally couldn’t be in a private room. Instead, they chose a spot with good scenery by the window. An Nuo looked out slightly and felt refreshed. &
Perhaps it was because she was a little embarra.s.sed by the praise, An Nuo pursed her lips slightly and sat down with a normal expression.
“Thank you.”
After An Nuo sat down, the other party pulled out a chair and sat opposite An Nuo. At the same time, he took out a bouquet of dazzling red roses from the side.
“This is for you. Although it’s a little presumptuous, after seeing you, I feel that this flower is not worthy of you.” The other party smiled shyly.
To be honest, An Nuo didn’t like roses very much. This strong smell and color made her feel repulsive.
Although she had seen it many times, this pa.s.sion seemed to be able to burn people. Usually, An Nuo couldn’t help but feel resistant just by smelling the fragrance. However, due to etiquette, she still accepted the other party’s gift with a smile without changing her expression and placed it aside.
After all, they would only met once. She would just have to endure it.
She comforted herself in her heart before hearing the other party’s introduction.
“h.e.l.lo, my name is Bai Anyang. My father and your father should be old friends.”
The other party didn’t seem to notice An Nuo’s cold att.i.tude. He sounded a little excited and couldn’t help but sound happy.
“My name is An Nuo. Nice to meet you.” An Nuo only nodded.
Perhaps because he had received An Nuo’s response, the other party’s face also revealed a happy expression. Then, he started the topic excitedly.
‘Tve already seen you on screen before I met you. I didn’t expect you to be so good at acting, and you’re also a big star now.” Bai Anyang seemed to be enthusiastic and curious about everything about An Nuo, but it was also as if he was showing a one-sided familiarity. He spoke a lot by himself.
From time to time, An Nuo would respond so that the entire scene wouldn’t look too awkward.
As the two of them conversed, the waiter pushed the dinner that had already been ordered over and placed it in front of them.
An Nuo restrained herself and politely cut the steak in front of her with her knife and fork, but she had no choice but to listen to Bai Anyang talk.
“To be honest, I have a very good impression of you. I’m sure you know why we met this time.”
Soon, Bai Anyang got to the main topic. An Nuo also politely stopped what she was doing and looked at the other party intently.
Bai Anyang smiled and spread his hands as if to indicate something. “However, I think for people like us, there are some principles that need to be explained in advance.”
“Of course.” An Nuo nodded.
An Nuo’s agreement and obedient att.i.tude clearly pleased Bai Anyang, so the smile on his face became more genuine.
However, what An Nuo was thinking was to brush it off as quickly as possible. After all, she still had another job to do tonight.
Seeing her like this, Bai Anyang liked her even more, so he directly overturned his original words and told her his plan.
“If we get along or even get engaged in the future, I hope you won’t continue working in the entertainment industry.”
Perhaps knowing that he had gone a little overboard, Bai Anyang hurriedly added.
Of course, I’m not looking down on celebrities. It’s just that it’s a little ridiculous for people like us to lower our status to please others. I believe you can understand what I mean.”
He was sufficiently polite, but the words he said made An Nuo gradually frown. This was because even if Bai Anyang said that he didn’t look down on her, An Nuo could still sense the other party’s disdain for her current job from his body language and tone.
Before meeting the other party, An Nuo knew that there were always some people in the world who liked to cla.s.sify people. However, she didn’t expect to encounter such a strange person today.
“And I hope that we can give birth to two children after we get married ” At this moment, Bai Anyang had yet to realize that something was wrong and began to talk about the future in front of An Nuo. “A boy and a girl would be the best.” “However, I might be a little busy because I’ll gradually start taking over the company in the future, so I hope you don’t have any objections to me in this aspect…”
As Bai Anyang spoke, he began to talk non-stop. He didn’t realize that the atmosphere was gradually condensing, and An Nuo had lost her originally thin patience..
