Chapter 415: Say Yes, Please?
~ HJ Entertainment~
” What is this? Why did you bring us here?” Jia Fei furrowed her brows to see the small yet well-equipped recording studio.
Jia Fei and Luo Dan were in their cafe and were busy with their work when they received a voice message from Xu Nuan to come over to her company urgently as she has something important to talk to them about.
What important thing could it be that she couldn’t tell them on the phone or wait for them to reach home? They wondered.
Worried that it might be something serious, they put away all of the work that they had in their hands and came running to look for her. However, when they reached the company, they found her laughing and chilling with the staff and saw her drinking her strawberry shake in leisure.
‘Hah! Trouble, my foot! She only knows how to make other people worried to death.’ Jia Fei wanted to pull Xu Nuan for a fist fight and teach her a lesson so that she won’t prank them like this from next time but Luo Dan stopped her from being so childish.
How old is she to instigate others for a fist fight?

Rather than bringing them to her office, Xu Nuan took them to the recording studio in the building, which caught them by surprise. It was their first time seeing her recording studio and they were pleasantly surprised how well-equipped it was with all the necessary equipment.
” Sit wherever you like. Tan Tan will be bringing us the drinks in a while.” Xu Nuan said as she pulled a chair and sat on it. She folded her hands in front of the chest as she watched Luo Dan and Jia Fei looking around the recording studio in a daze.
Even though they were trying to pretend to be alright, she could understand from what emotions they must be going on right now. It’s their first time seeing the recording studio in a year after the group disbanded and they left the company.
They must be going through the same emotions that she went through when she entered the recording studio for the first time in a while. It’s just so precious and makes one remember all the happy memories of the past.
It’s a bitter-sweet moment that makes you reminisce about the past but at the same makes you feel empty since things cannot be the same as they were in the past anymore.

Luo Dan ,who was looking around the recording studio, was amazed that Xu Nuan had arranged all the needed equipment and machines to edit audios and make music. Many of the equipment were expensive yet she has all of them arranged without any miss.
Even though Xu Nuan’s company is new and relatively small to other entertainment companies, the building has everything prepared that one needs to make music and doesn’t need to go anywhere else for these facilities.
The building that looks cheap and shabby from the outside has a nice-elegantly decorated interior and has all the facilities in the single building.
While Xu Nuan was casually sitting on a chair, Jia Fei and Luo Dan were lost in a stupor while looking around the small-compact recording studio.
Standing in this room, sure brings back all the memories that they had shared in the past together. Recording studio was the place where they had spent most of their time after the dance practice room.
It was like a playground for all four of them. They used to spend hours in the recording studio while making music and playing around with each other. Those were the best memories of their life.
There was a time when they could not even think about separating from each other. However, who would have expected things to turn out like this?
More than the group’s disbandment, Hao Mei’s betrayal is what hurts them the most. The girl they treated as their younger sister, how can she backstab them like that? She not only broke their trust but also the relationship between them that they used to cherish the most.
Jia Fei took a deep breath to control her emotions and turned around to look at Xu Nuan who was silently watching them from aside, ” If you have something to say then spit it up. We also have work to do as well.” She said irritatingly.
She didn’t want to think about those happy times where Hao Mei was also a part of them and the way they pampered her as the youngest baby of the group. How embarrassing.
Xu Nuan didn’t argue back to see Jia Fei’s cranky mood and gestured to Luo Dan and her to sit down on the small couch in the back as well.
” I called you guys because I have something important to talk about. Do you guys remember about the proposal that I have offered you before? Have you thought about it?” Xu Nuan asked while looking at the two expectantly.
Upon hearing her words, Jia Fei and Luo Dan, both of them fell silent and glanced at each other in hesitance.
Luo Dan cleared her throat and straightened her back before answering, ” We thought about it. However, I don’t think we can do this anymore. We have been in the industry for 5 years and have seen many things in this industry.”
” Those were the good times but I think it’s time for us to take a step-back and enjoy this laid-back life as well. Moreover, it will be so much trouble to start all over again. Also....it will be no fun to perform on stage again without you.” She answered seriously.
Some time ago, Xu Nuan had asked them to consider continuing their career in music again. If they want to start over, she wants them to join her company and work together with her.
At that time they rejected her offer straight up as they were sure of their decision to not continue working as idols anymore. They have seen many ups and downs in their career and the last blow before their disbandment was too much to handle for both of them.
However, despite their rejections, Xu Nuan still insisted and gave them some time to think about it. They weren’t expecting her to call them all of a sudden just to talk about this matter.
” So it’s a No.” Xu Nuan pursed her lips and nodded in understanding. Even though she feels empty after leaving the industry, she doesn’t want to go into that field either. She was happy standing at the sidelines and was enjoying the work that she was doing right now.
She took a deep breath and was about to dismiss the topic when she noticed Jia Fei’s quiet expressions. The girl who never stops talking was silently sitting there and wasn’t saying anything.
” Jia Fei, what are your thoughts on this matter? Forget about Luo Dan, you tell me, do you want to continue performing on stage or not?” Xu Nuan asked seriously and waited for Jia Fei’s response.
Jia Fei pursed her lips and glanced at Luo Dan who was also waiting for her answer. Luo Dan also noticed Jia Fei’s dull expressions and nudged her, ” Don’t think much about me. If you want to continue to perform, you can go solo. I am sure you will break all the records.” She cheered her up.
” That’s right. Jia Fei’s girl crush image and sassiness is enough to make girls swoon over her. If it is me, I will also choose her over Han Zihao.” Xu Nuan winked at Jia Fei, causing her to chuckle in embarrassment.
” What about you? Do you feel the same?” Jia Fei turned to Luo Dan who was silent about Xu Nuan’s over-exaggerating comment.
Luo Dan blinked in confusion and pursed her lips in a thin line, refusing to say anything about this scandalous topic. She will be blamed for whatever she says right now. So it’s better to be mum about this matter.
Xu Nuan shook her head to see Luo Dan dodging the complicated question and turned to Jia Fei again,
” So....what’s your decision? Is it a Yes or No?”
‘ Say Yes, Please. PLEASE!!’ She prayed inwardly as she waited for her answer. If she takes this offer of hers, this will not only benefit the reputation of her company, but also make her less guilty about this whole situation.
Nothing would be better than Jia Fei not giving up on music and continuing it until she will not get sick of it.
