Chapter 673: A Dazed Day
....

It was like a dream.
An Nuo held her head and leaned against the head of the bed, her entire body in a mess of thoughts.
When she remembered what stupid thing she had done last night, she finally couldn’t help but grab a bolster and bury her head in it in shame.
No matter what, please let her have no memories of last night.
The heat on her face began to rise when she realized what she had done.
However, that memory seemed to have given birth and kept sprouting. In her mind, it caused An Nuo’s work after that to show signs of a preliminary dazedness from time to time.
“An Nuo.”
“An Nuo.”
“An Nuo!” The manager called her three times.
Finally, on the third time, An Nuo suddenly came back to her senses. She looked blankly at her manager standing in front of her and blinked in a daze.
The manager sighed. “Why do I feel that you’re distracted all day?”
“Really…?” An Nuo touched her cheek guiltily. Fortunately, it was not especially hot now.
The manager looked at her expression suspiciously. “Did you really just go for dinner last night?”
According to this performance, it didn’t look as simple as just eating.
“Yes, that’s right,” An Nuo replied a little stutteringly.
She said it with a sense of righteousness again.
After all, she had indeed gone there for dinner. She just didn’t say anything about what happened after that and was telling the truth.
The manager stared at her for a long time because of An Nuo’s answer. In the end, he finally gave up asking further and stuffed the itinerary in his hand into An Nuo’s hands.
“Come back to your senses. There’s still an advertis.e.m.e.nt to film in the afternoon. Don’t let anything go wrong later,” the manager reminded her.
“You’re no longer the small celebrity from back then. Many people are looking at you now.”
The current An Nuo was naturally incomparable to her previous self.
As she steadily climbed up step by step, the resources she received became better and better. At least now when she was out, any actions would fall into the eyes of the paparazzi and media reporters. If she was not careful, she could cause some scandals and rumors.
“Got it,” An Nuo replied.
Although she said that, she still couldn’t control her thoughts from time to time. They drifted to the incident last night.
Fortunately, she didn’t encounter the other party when she went out at noon today.
Thinking of how quiet the house next door was when she was picked up by her a.s.sistant, An Nuo was in a dilemma.
She had made such a presumptuous move last night. Would the other party never see her again?
Or was she thinking too much? Actually, Murong Chen had already left and was not at home at all.
Moreover…
An Nuo recalled the obviously oversized coat when she woke up. It was very likely Murong Chen’s coat.
She had to find a time to return the coat to the other party. Otherwise, if she kept them, she would seem like a pervert.
However, at the thought that returning the coat meant meeting the other party again, An Nuo shamelessly fell into a dilemma.
Random guesses filled her mind, and for a moment, An Nuo couldn’t make up her mind.
Fortunately, An Nuo’s professionalism was online. Under the photographer’s command, nothing went wrong in the subsequent filming.
Compared to An Nuo, Murong Qiao’s alcohol tolerance was much better after she got drunk. At least, she was not as noisy as An Nuo.
After dinner last night, Huo Yichen carried Murong Qiao to his house and she slept quietly for the night.
When she woke up the next morning, there were no signs of fragmented memories. She was in good condition and didn’t look like a drunk person.
When Murong Qiao woke up, there was still a note left by Huo Yichen on the bed.
[If you’re awake, there’s breakfast in the kitchen. Call me if you’re feeling unwell. I’ll go to the office first.]
It was just a few simple words, but she could feel a subtle warmth flowing into her heart, just like the other party’s usual silent style.
Because of last night’s meal, Murong Qiao had already told liang Chi that she might be late to the office, so she was not too nervous when she woke up in the afternoon.
Murong Qiao sat up from the bed. She wanted to subconsciously take the tissue from the bedside table, but her hand was empty when she remembered that this was not her house.
She belatedly glanced at the decor of the bedroom beside her and was in a daze when she saw the simple style based on black, white, and gray.
She felt that it was overly cold.
This was Murong Qiao’s first thought about the entire bedroom. However, when she got up and wanted to go to the kitchen, her gaze landed on the rabbit slippers under her feet and she couldn’t help but laugh softly.
The pink and white rabbit slippers were furry. They were the type she usually wore at home. They were neatly arranged by the bed and were waiting for their owner to wear them.
This surprisingly cute color broke the cold style of the room. Murong Qiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
She put on the slippers and walked to the kitchen. She found the porridge and some side dishes that were being kept warm for breakfast.
Murong Qiao casually picked up a bun and put it in her mouth. Then, she looked at the time on her phone and realized that it was already 12 noon.
She first sent a message to Huo Yichen to tell him that she had woken up.
Then, she remembered the slightly chaotic situation last night and was a little worried about An Nuo, so she thought of calling her.
However, the call didn’t go through. The phone rang for a long time before it automatically ended dozens of seconds later.
Perhaps she’s busy with work?
Murong Qiao frowned and looked at the phone screen that had become a call record again. Thinking that it seemed to be her Big Brother who sent An Nuo home last night, she simply called someone else after returning home.
This time, the call was picked up very quickly.
“…Qiaoqiao?” Murong Chen’s voice came from the other end.
Murong Qiao greeted casually, “Morning, Big Brother.”
Murong Chen didn’t mind his Little Sister’s late greeting.
“How do you feel now that you’re awake? Are you feeling unwell?”
Murong Chen’s concerned greeting came from the other end of the cell phone. “I’ll get Jiang Chi to send you some food later. If there’s anything wrong, I’ll get him to bring you some medicine.”
In terms of drinking, Murong Chen had experienced much more than Murong Qiao.
Whether it’s the headache after a hangover, the smell of alcohol after waking up, and many other worries and discomforts, he could be considered a master of experience at the wine table.
“I’m fine.” Murong Qiao couldn’t let her Big Brother worry about her.
“You sent An Nuo home last night. She should be fine, right?” Murong Qiao asked. “I called her just now, but I couldn’t get through.”
“…She should be fine.”
It was unknown if it was Murong Qiao’s imagination, but the moment An Nuo’s name was mentioned, she seemed to feel a moment of silence and hesitation from the other side before he replied slowly.
However, Murong Chen didn’t expect that the moment he heard An Nuo’s name, he recalled what happened last night.
In fact, it was not only An Nuo who cared about this matter. Murong Chen couldn’t help but think about it too.
Murong Chen was distracted for a moment before answering, “I left after sending her home last night.”
As for today’s situation, he couldn’t answer his Little Sister’s question because in the morning, Murong Chen took the morning flight back to the headquarters.
Hence, he didn’t encounter An Nuo again and wasn’t aware of her latest situation..
