After Huo Yichen left, Murong Qiao was not in the mood to sleep again.
She sat on a chaise lounge by the balcony and basked in the warm afternoon sun. She was casually scrolling through tourist posts about Country X on her phone.
Suddenly, a call appeared on the screen. The caller was An Nuo.
“h.e.l.lo?” Murong Qiao picked up the call and put it to her ear.
An Nuo’s voice was as lively as ever. “Qiao, have you gotten off the plane?” “Yes, I’m already at the hotel. This place is…” Glancing at the colorful and gorgeous colors outside, Murong Qiao gave a comment.” Not bad.” “I’m really envious of you…”
An Nuo said enviously, “You just announced your engagement to everyone and then went on a trip. You don’t even know this. All the media outlets want to film some news about you.”
“If only I could travel with you sometime… I’m working every day.” She couldn’t help but sigh.
There was always endless work and scripts to read every day. At the thought that Murong Qiao was lying in the hotel looking for delicious food and fun, An Nuo felt that her resentment was about to materialize.
Murong Qiao was also joking. “Your number of fans is almost 10 million. Superstar, why are you worried about this?”
“Speaking of which, I haven’t congratulated you on moving. I’m giving you a housewarming gift. When I go back, let’s have a meal together when you’re free?” She thought of this.
Ever since An Nuo moved, Murong Qiao had been relatively busy during that period of time and couldn’t care about this for the time being, but it was not good to ignore it.
At the mention of moving, An Nuo was suddenly silent for a few seconds, but there was no response.
“An Nuo?” It was not until Murong Qiao called her twice that An Nuo seemed to have woken up from a dream and suddenly replied.
“I’m here…”
An Nuo responded casually and fiddled with the fruits in front of her.
Just now, when Murong Qiao mentioned moving, An Nuo recalled the awkward time when she met Murong Chen when she was buying groceries.
Although the other party didn’t think much of it, An Nuo had always cared a little. Moreover, she felt that she treated Murong Chen differently.
“I keep feeling that there’s something on your mind.” Murong Qiao frowned.
After all, they had lived together for so long. Murong Qiao knew what kind of reaction An Nuo had.
An Nuo’s answer was vague. “It’s about work…”
She subconsciously didn’t say her thoughts.
If Qiao found out about this matter, An Nuo felt that it was meaningless. Although An Nuo’s answer didn’t seem to be wrong, Murong Qiao felt that something was wrong.
Unfortunately, the two of them were talking over the phone, so Murong Qiao couldn’t tell much.
“Ijust bought something, so I’m going to pay the bill. I’ll hang up first!” An Nuo’s anxious voice sounded again. Then, without giving Murong Qiao time to react, she hung up.
Even the ending sounded like she was escaping in a panic.
An Nuo watched as the cell phone returned to the initial interface. After the call ended, she heaved a sigh of relief.
She already felt that she couldn’t hide anything. If Murong Qiao asked again,
An Nuo felt that she really wouldn’t be able to hide it.
She carried the materials she had bought today to the supermarket counter to pay the bill.
Fate was ingenious. The person at the counter was the same girl she had met at the supermarket last time.
“Where’s your boyfriend? Why are you here to buy things alone again?” The little girl was surprised to see An Nuo.
An Nuo had just forgotten about this matter a little, but when the little girl mentioned it, she immediately blushed.
She coughed lightly and shook her head without saying anything.
After all, it was not good to really admit that Murong Chen was her boyfriend. Although the probability of the other party coming to such a supermarket to buy things was almost zero, An Nuo felt even more embarra.s.sed if the misunderstanding she had caused landed on him.
If An Nuo didn’t speak, the little girl could make up 10,000 stories in her heart. “Alright, alright. I’ll give you the bill. Will it be cash or QR code scanning?” The little girl stopped asking.
An Nuo scanned the QR code and paid, then left quickly with the things she had bought.
Fortunately, she had learned her lesson this time and didn’t buy many things
at once. Coupled with the fact that her house was very close to the supermarket, she took the elevator home.
Ever since she stopped living with Murong Qiao, An Nuo had learned how to live alone. Sometimes, she was more used to eating fast food than meticulously preparing her meals.
This made An Nuo more and more similar to other celebrities. However, without Murong Qiao, An Nuo felt that the house was less lively.
She casually found a takeaway shop and placed an order. Then, she washed some fruits. She wanted to take the opportunity to look at the script while waiting for the takeaway to familiarize herself with the plot.
However, the script that could usually be understood easily seemed to have added an especially rebellious personality tonight. It was as if the words were filled with pride and was trying its best not to let her understand the meaning. It was probably the kind that was said online. “You can understand every word when you take it apart, but when you put it together, it becomes something you don’t know.”
Tap.
An Nuo placed the script back on the coffee table. She finally knew that she couldn’t read it today.
She couldn’t help but think of Murong Chen.
She had clearly not thought about it for the past few days, but today, it was as if things would definitely go the other way when they reached the extreme. She had been mentioned by others more than once or twice.
“Your takeout has arrived-” There was suddenly a knock on the door.
An Nuo hurriedly got up to open the door. “Coming.”
She looked through the peephole and only opened the door to take it after confirming that it was the delivery guy.
However, when the door opened, she met Murong Chen’s gaze, who had just come out of the elevator. An Nuo stood at the door in a daze.
On the other hand, the rider hurriedly left after delivering the food to An Nuo.
His figure was so hurried that only An Nuo and Murong Chen were left.
Since she had already seen him, it was not good for her to shrink back without greeting him.
An Nuo carried the takeout in one hand and had no choice but to open the door to greet Murong Chen with her other hand.
“Morning-no, good evening.” An Nuo was so nervous that her tongue almost tied.
Every time she faced Murong Chen, although the other party clearly didn’t have much pressure on her, An Nuo always felt an indescribable nervousness.
Murong Chen walked up to her and glanced at the takeout. “Good evening.”
Just the moment An Nuo stopped at the door, the fragrance of fried chicken from the takeaway bag wafted out.
“Don’t artistes have to do weight management?” Murong Chen asked casually.
An Nuo’s face instantly turned red, but she couldn’t help but explain softly, “It’s clearly the first time I’ve eaten it this month.”
And it was already the end of the month. Murong Chen remembered.
An Nuo didn’t need to manage her figure like a singer. Coupled with the fact that she had recently received a new script and needed to gain a little weight, she ordered fried chicken.
In the end, she didn’t expect to b.u.mp into Murong Chen.
After An Nuo finished speaking, seeing that Murong Chen didn’t move, she added weakly to defend herself.
“It’s really just a meal.”
She was standing in front of him. Murong Chen looked at An Nuo’s figure and nodded in agreement. Then, he felt that what he said was indeed inappropriate. “Then—I’ll order you another one?”
