Xiao Jia Yu opened the door with a swipe of her card as she walked in. She then picked up the phone and asked with a smile: "Mu Chen, is there something wrong with you so late at night?"

Mu Chen's voice was clearly smiling as he quickly replied, "I really want to eat hotpot right now, so I came to find you to eat."

Xiao Jia Yu felt that she had become foolish. After being stunned for a while, she asked dumbly: "You're in the imperial city, why are you eating with me?"

Mu Chen replied confidently, "Tell me your room number. I promise I'll definitely appear in front of you within five minutes. I just don't know if you'll give me any rewards after I accomplish this."

Xiao Jia Yu felt that she was still a fool, but she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart. She called out her room number and then laughed: "If you appear in front of me within five minutes, there will be no reward, but if it exceeds five minutes, then there will be punishment."

Mu Chen hurriedly said with a bit of grievance, "You treated me very unfairly like this."

Xiao Jia Yu replied with a bit of willfulness: "If you want fairness, then don't look for me. There are still three minutes."

Mu Chen said with a smile, "I really doubt that your side's time would be twice as fast as mine, but I'm already here."

Xiao Jia Yu subconsciously did not believe him, but the next moment, her doorbell rang. For a moment she couldn't explain why her heart was beating so fast, and her mind seemed to be going haywire. She forced herself to stand up and walk to the door to open it. The light from the corridor instantly poured in along with the open door. Mu Chen, who was still handsome in his shorts and t-shirt, appeared in front of her.

"Is it a surprise?" he asked her, smiling, with a boarding box at his feet.

Xiao Jia Yu's eyes felt a little hot when she saw him, but she forced herself to open her eyes wide and quickly forced the heat back.

Ever since she had chosen to enter drama school, especially after officially going on stage, she had been under a lot of pressure. She stubbornly wanted to prove to her family that she had made the right choice, and at the same time, she also really hoped that someone would stand behind her and encourage her to support her, trusting her unconditionally. Before, when Nan Qiao was not sent out of the country by the Xiao family, she still had a sister who encouraged each other. These few years, she was really the only one who worked hard. No matter how hard it was, no one could help her fight. However, ever since Mu Chen had appeared, this man had silently helped her a lot. Now that she thought about it, there was actually a feeling of being unable to return the favor.

Mu Chen raised his hand to touch her face. He felt that she was a little too touched, so he softly said, "If you're really that touched, then give me a little reward."

Xiao Jiayi slapped his hand away and turned around to walk inside. Mu Chen also hurriedly smiled as he picked up the boarding chest and walked into her room.

Xiao Jia Yu poured a cup of pure water for Mu Chen before she sat on the sofa across from him, her head slightly lowered. She still hadn't completely recovered from her previous state of mind.

After running for a few hours, Mu Chen was truly thirsty. He picked up the water Xiao Jia Yu poured for him and drank a cup of water. Xiao Jiayi saw that he was about to pour him another cup after drinking, but stopped him, "No need for that. We still need to go out and eat hotpot."

Xiao Jia Yu had already stood up, and hesitantly said: "But it's very late."

Mu Chen also stood up and smiled. "It's alright, I asked my elder sister about the most delicious hotpot restaurant here. My elder sister said that the restaurant will be open until the second half of the night. "Right now, you have a bit of a reputation. It's not easy for people to not see you walking out in the dead of night." His cousin Song Qingying was also a glutton. Previously, Ning Jiayang had stayed in A City for a few years due to his work relationship, and Song Qingying had also stayed here for a while. Mu Chen could find out what was delicious here from Song Qingying.

Xiao Jia Yu quickly curled her lips and said: "You better forget about it. Your popularity is the best, alright? What do you mean Director Mu's beauty is able to save everything? The power of brainless fans is really too great." As she spoke, she turned her back to look for her cap, but didn't expect to be suddenly grabbed from behind.

Xiao Jia Yu's body instantly stiffened. She could feel her face becoming redder and redder. Just as she took a deep breath and was about to reprimand Mu Chen for his coquettish actions, the person behind her spoke earlier than her.

"If you dare to joke about my looks again, I'll really fall out with you." With that, he let go of her.

For a moment, Xiao Jia Yu was like a deflated balloon. She was originally prepared to say nothing. It seemed that Mu Chen had only used this method to warn her. It made sense when he thought about it. It was natural for a celebrity in the entertainment circle to be called good-looking, but Mu Chen was an outsider, and also a man. He might not necessarily be happy when people said that he was good-looking. She felt relieved when she thought about it, and somewhat disdained to let her imagination run wild.

Xiao Jia Yu found her cap and placed it beside the bed. Then, she said to Mu Chen: "Wait for me, I'll change my clothes." She was still wearing the same dress as when she went to the movies to advertise in the evening. Going out in the evening was a bit too formal. After saying that, she hurriedly ran into the bathroom.

Mu Chen looked at her as she closed the bathroom door. In his mind, he recalled the light fragrance off her body when she was near him. It was so intoxicating. In any case, he had already thought of taking his time, but he didn't expect the little girl to be so unamused.

Xiao Jia Yu quickly changed into a pair of white t-shirt and jeans, but when she came out, she discovered that they were both wearing the same color t-shirt. She wailed in her heart, but she really didn't have any intention of wearing her partner attire with Mu Chen.

Mu Chen acted as if he didn't notice her slight hesitation and helped her put on her cap, then picked up her bag and held her hand as they walked outside. He reminded her to pick up her room card and the two of them left the room.

Xiao Jia Yu's current hairstyle was long and straight, and her hair was completely disheveled. She wore a peaked cap, making it difficult to see her appearance, which was more convenient than any face mask or sunglasses. Fortunately, her fame wasn't that high, so she wasn't particularly afraid of going out.

When Mu Chen arrived, he had asked for a car from the hotel in advance. Although he was busy helping his uncle manage the hotel, there was still a benefit to it.

Mu Chen took the car keys from the waiter and brought Xiao Jia Yu to the car. After setting up the navigation system, he drove to the hotpot restaurant recommended by Song Qing Ying.

The climate here was much better than in the imperial city. Although there weren't as many tall buildings as in the imperial city, the city's scenery was much better. Xiao Jia Yu had a good impression of this city from the moment he arrived here.

"Mu Chen, I heard that all the girls here are extremely beautiful, is that true?" Xiao Jia Yu suddenly turned her head to look at Mu Chen as she asked.

Mu Chen seriously drove. Hearing that, he could only smile and say, "You arrived here earlier than me by a day. You should have seen the locals yourself."

Xiao Jiayu hurriedly replied, "I haven't seen it before. I'm here either at the hotel or at the event. There aren't many people out on the streets anymore in the middle of the night."

Mu Chen seemed to ponder for a moment before replying, "I only heard my cousin say that the girls here have rather white skin. I don't know anything else."

Xiao Jia Yu glared at him, "Stop playing dumb. Since Sister Qing Ying accompanied her husband here for a few years, you must have come here a long time ago."

Mu Chen replied rather innocently, "So it turns out that it's true that women are unreasonable. If I really said that the girls here are the prettiest, you wouldn't be happy about it."

Xiao Jia Yu turned her head and looked out of the window, asking as if she was talking to herself: "You said other people are beautiful, why should I be unhappy?" It was unknown whether he was asking Mu Chen or himself.

Mu Chen could not help but shake his head as he laughed. He continued to drive and soon arrived at this hotpot restaurant.

Since this shop could get Song Qingying's strong recommendation, it definitely tasted good. Even though it was almost midnight, there were still a lot of people in the shop. However, no matter how good the business was, it would definitely not be able to compare to the time when Mu Chen was at the peak of dinner. He immediately asked the waiter to bring the two of them to the private room. However, the waiter, who was known for his service attitude, couldn't help but secretly size up Mu Chen and Mu Wenwen. The looks of both men and women were too outstanding, even though she was in her forties and still had a heart that was easily attracted by beauty.

After the two of them sat down, Mu Chen asked Xiao Jia Yu to order. It seemed that he wasn't interested in ordering dishes. However, Mu Chen glanced at her with a hint of warning and a smile as the waiter's gaze became more and more unrestrained. Xiao Jia Yu quickly finished ordering, while Mu Chen added two cups of orange juice. Only then did he allow the waiter to leave.

Xiao Jia Yu sat in front of Mu Chen and took off her cap, then casually tied a ponytail with a rubber band. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for her to eat the hotpot later, so her fair and jade-like face would be completely exposed.

"Mu Chen, I met Yu Mingxuan tonight." Xiao Jiayu was speechless as he thought about how Xin Yue wanted to eat her tonight. With Xin Yue's temper, she would definitely come looking for trouble later.

Mu Chen was slightly surprised as he asked, "Is Yu Mingxuan really with Xin Yue?"

Xiao Jia Yu nodded her head, "I thought you knew about it since the beginning."

Mu Chen shook his head, "Cheng Lan is our company's artiste, all I know is that Cheng Lan and Yu Mingxuan seemed to have broken up, and I don't know anything else. Besides, I don't really care about the private life of the people under the company, unless they are forced to do something, I will help them.

Xiao Jiayu continued, "I still remember the last time Third Uncle was married, Yu Mingxuan brought Cheng Lan with him. He even brought Cheng Lan to formal occasions like that. I thought it was true love."

Mu Chen said in amusement: "It would be inconceivable for something like this to have true love in the entertainment industry. After all, this was the beginning of an illegitimate relationship. Even if Cheng Lan broke up with Yu Mingxuan now, it wouldn't be a big loss. After all, Yu Mingxuan had treated her so well previously, and the two female stars that she had starred in at the beginning had been brought in by him. Otherwise, she would have already acted out quite a few female leads at the age of 25. Not only that, but there was also an audience. Even with a little support, he could carry it up to the box office. The main reason was that he had the audience's support as well. Now that she has broken up with Yu Mingxuan, she can count on herself. As long as she can change her personality properly, she'll be next. "

Xiao Jiayu also agreed with Mu Chen, "I've seen two movies about Cheng Lan. Although the plot had some kind of silly, sweet feeling, but the cute, cute, and mischievous Bai Tiantian's ability to act was already very impressive. Otherwise, many people behind her wouldn't have died so miserably trying to copy Cheng Lan's route. Everyone thought that Bai Tiantian didn't need acting, so it turns out that it wasn't like that."

Mu Chen did not want the two of them to spend so much time talking about other things, so he hurriedly added, "Let's not talk about Cheng Lan anymore, let's eat first."
