Chapter 1996: A Sight to See
Ma Haodong probably asked Guan Hao to help on purpose. He was sure that Guan Hao would never spread any news about Xiao Yuqian that would ruin her image, and he could irritate Guan Hao at the same time.
Xiao Yuqian was relieved if Guan Hao was the only one who knew.
“I’ll have to head to the TV station later,” Xiao Yuqian said after having her breakfast/lunch. “Su Jimo has to shoot his variety show there.”
“I’ll go with you,” Ma Haodong offered.
“It’s fine. Don’t you have training later?”
“I asked for a leave of absence too,” Ma Haodong said as he packed his stuff. “Come on, let’s go.”
“But…”
“No buts!” Ma Haodong stopped her. “What if you get targeted again?”
Xiao Yuqian stopped arguing at that moment. She was also worried that the group of people would come after her again. It was clear that they knew who she was.
The only thing that remained a mystery was who had sent them.
The two of them went to the TV station together after that.
When they arrived, the crew and the celebrities were on a lunch break.
Danni was among the celebrities. Li Muhao was there too. He had bought lunch for everyone.
Danni was giving out the food that Li Muhao bought. The lunch consisted of a main dish with fruits and drinks.
There were two reasons for her to do that. One, she was trying to show off, and two, she wanted to expand her connections.
But one of the people whom she was giving food to didn’t fall for it.
Danni handed the food to Su Jimo and smiled. “Mr. Su, this is for you.”
“It’s fine,” Su Jimo declined with a cold expression. “Give it to other people.”
Su Jimo then started to eat the food that the crew had prepared for him.
Being rejected by Su Jimo made it super awkward for Danni. She tried to hide her embarra.s.sment and continued to give food to other people.
It was then that Xiao Yuqian and Ma Haodong arrived.
When Danni noticed Xiao Yuqian coming in, she gave her a stare.
“Oh my, Miss Xiao is here.” Danni smiled cunningly. “I’m so sorry, but I’m out of food. If I knew you were coming, I would’ve asked Muhao to prepare another serving. Oh, wait, two servings.”
Danni then turned to Ma Haodong and smiled.
“It’s fine. I’ve already had my lunch,” Xiao Yuqian said. Even if Danni were to offer her one, she would never take it.
Ma Haodong looked at Danni and sniffed.
“What’s that smell?” Ma Haodong asked.
“Oh, must be my perfume,” Danni said excitedly.
Before Danni could even show off what type of perfume she was using, Ma Haodong shot her down.
“I see, that explains why it smells like trash.”
Ma Haodong quickly fanned in front of his nose with his hand as if he’d smelled something disgusting.
Xiao Yuqian did not expect Ma Haodong to help her and was shocked. But the sight of Danni’s expression turning dark was a sight to see.
“Let’s go over there,” Ma Haodong said. “I can’t stand the smell.”
Ma Haodong and Xiao Yuqian then proceeded to where Su Jimo was.
Danni did not expect Ma Haodong to insult her. It made her lose all her pride.
When Li Muhao saw Danni coming back with a sad expression, he quickly asked her what had happened.
“Tell me… Does my perfume smell good?” Danni ask.
“Of course! Isn’t this the high-end perfume you asked me to get you?”
“But that person over there said it smells like tras.h.!.+”
“Who did?”
