"Actually, if you’re afraid of trouble, you don’t have to like ," Mu Bai suggested.
Qiao Zhichuan imdiately laughed, "Although it’s not sothing I can choose, I’m very happy to have t you, my goddess of destiny!"
Although she hadn’t developed feelings for him, such a confession still made Mu Bai blush and her heart race, especially since Qiao Zhichuan, like her uncle and aunt, was a big celebrity, equally handso, with a thick skin, and sweet words at his fingertips. It made her think of the love between her uncle and aunt, making her a bit envious.
Would he be like her uncle?
She felt that this scene was very similar to the story of her aunt and uncle. At the beginning, it was also her uncle who fell for her aunt at first sight, but her aunt didn’t have much impression of him.
It was always her uncle who used his passionate heart to love her aunt, warming her heart until they beca as sweet as they are now.
Lu Mingchen’s expression changed slightly. He couldn’t say he knew Mu Bai very well, but seeing her chatting and laughing with Qiao Zhichuan, almost forgetting his presence, made him realize—if he didn’t intervene soon, there might really be trouble!
Mu Bai was clearly moved by Qiao Zhichuan, although she hadn’t imdiately accepted him, she was also not repelling him. Just like the other party said—even if you don’t accept my feelings, we can still be friends!
Friends, my foot! Sister-in-law Jiang was initially just Jiang Nuo’s friend, and now isn’t she his wife?
With Qiao Zhichuan around, Lu Mingchen didn’t say anything, but as soon as filming ended that day, he imdiately called Mu Bai back to the hotel, saying he had urgent matters to discuss.
"You’re going back?" Qiao Zhichuan looked reluctant, wishing he could escort her back to the hotel himself.
Lu Mingchen, of course, wouldn’t allow this to happen, saying, "Don’t worry, I’ll take care of the artists from my agency myself."
Qiao Zhichuan looked a bit sad, "Brother Lu, it’s not that I don’t trust you, I just can’t help but care for her." While speaking, he looked at Mu Bai with deep affection.
Mu Bai felt a bit embarrassed and didn’t dare et his gaze at all.
When Brother Lu wasn’t around, she heard this kind of thing often and didn’t mind much. But why did she feel so embarrassed by Qiao Zhichuan’s words as soon as Brother Lu appeared?
She finally understood why her aunt was always so shy in front of outsiders.
Outsiders?
Mu Bai glanced at Lu Mingchen.
Brother Lu shouldn’t count as an outsider, right?
After the nanny van started, Lu Mingchen’s entire face was very cold, and Mu Bai imdiately felt as if the temperature inside the car had dropped several degrees.
She jokingly thought to herself, does this an there’s no need for air conditioning?
Of course, she didn’t forget that Brother Lu seed to be angry, secretly glancing at him several tis. With a blank face, he was quite intimidating!
What on earth was Brother Lu angry about? Did sothing happen with her uncle recently, or had she done sothing to upset him?
Probably not...
Mu Bai wasn’t entirely sure. She knew she had been reckless and made countless mistakes in the past, and although she had changed so of them, what if there was sothing she hadn’t noticed?
"Brother Lu, are you in a bad mood?" she asked softly, trying to test the waters.
Lu Mingchen didn’t respond to her at all.
Mu Bai imdiately felt like crying. Oh no!
It seed she had really offended him deeply!
To fall into his hands would be a dreadful fate!
The nanny van stopped at the hotel’s underground parking, and Lu Mingchen instructed the driver and assistant a bit, completely ignoring Mu Bai as he headed straight to the elevator.
Mu Bai, like a guilty little wife, obediently followed behind.
Once inside, she stood obediently in the corner, facing the wall in reflection.
"What are you standing there for?" Lu Mingchen asked with a slight frown, displeased.
"Standing as punishnt," Mu Bai said, feeling aggrieved.
"What did you do wrong to punish yourself with standing?" Lu Mingchen had been sowhat distracted all day, so he hadn’t noticed and thought she might have done sothing he didn’t know about.
"I don’t know either."
"If you don’t know, then why are you standing there?"
"Isn’t it because you’re unhappy?"
Lu Mingchen paused, unable to control the anger inside his heart, and let it out, "Don’t stand there! Co and sit down!"
Mu Bai obediently sat on the sofa opposite him.
Seeing her act so obediently, Lu Mingchen couldn’t maintain his anger. Pacing around Mu Bai’s room as if he were at ho, he poured himself a glass of water and drank it.
He felt he needed to calm down.
Mu Bai watched him drink three large glasses of water in silence, murmuring to herself: Brother Lu seems really mad today!
"Mu Bai, I think we need to have a proper chat!" he said after putting down the cup.
"Okay," Mu Bai sat up straight, looking very much like a "good student".
"Mu Bai, you ntioned before that you’re still young and don’t want to get into a relationship yet, preferring to wait until your career reaches a certain level of stability before considering it, right?"
"Yes!" Mu Bai thought her earlier decision was quite correct.
"Then, tell now, what’s with the rumors between you and Qiao Zhichuan?"
"It’s just rumors!" As soon as this topic ca up, Mu Bai wanted to change the subject.
"Are you sure it’s just rumors, or are you unsure yourself?" Lu Mingchen pressed her, not allowing her to dodge the question.
"Brother Lu, you already know everything, so why ask?" Mu Bai felt a bit embarrassed, annoyed that he saw through her.
Lu Mingchen’s heart imdiately rose, "Mu Bai, you’re breaking your promise, being untrustworthy."
"How am I being untrustworthy?"
"How can you not stick to what you said? It’s only been a few months, and you’ve changed your mind? Mu Bai, do you have to be so spineless?"
Being criticized made Mu Bai a bit unhappy, "How am I spineless? I didn’t expect to encounter love so soon!"
"Are you sure that’s the love you want? At your age, do you really know what you want?"
"Why not?" Mu Bai retorted, "Didn’t you see how much he likes ? And he’s like my uncle, a big celebrity, so handso, and fell for at first sight... Brother Lu, maybe he’s the next Jiang Nuo!"
"There’s only ever one Jiang Nuo!"
"Who says so?" Mu Bai said, a bit disgruntled, "I know how great my uncle is, but how can you be sure no one will surpass him? The world is progressing, and so are people; there’s always room for improvent."
"If anyone could beco Jiang Nuo, then do you think only one Jiang Nuo would have erged over the years? Whether it’s his career or his love life, they’re exceptions!"
Lu Mingchen emphasized.
If it weren’t an exception, why would Jiang Nuo have reached his current position among so many artists he’s handled?
His talent is a factor, and luck is also a very important key.
He had seen so many talented artists in this circle struggle aimlessly, living day by day until they had to leave the industry entirely.
