CH 216

Chapter 216 - I am just an old mother struggling with my moral standards. (3)

After Gu Nian had thanked Qi Han, she hesitated for a few seconds looking at the tainted car windows that completely blocked the view to the inside and walked over to the door to the bac seat.

She opened up the door, turned, and looked up.

Then she was stunned.

The man sitting in the leather seat toward the other end of the car looked up, his eyes that looked clear and slightly-hooked behind the thin spectacle lens smiled gently at her.

“Surprise.”

Gu Nian instantly recollected herself and pleasant surprise could been seen in her eyes. “Luo Xiu!”

“……”

The girl was happy like a puppy who had saw a piece of bone and started to lung forward when she suddenly recalled something else and stopped herself. Her eyes went from its original languid look when she opened up the car door to now looking at him sparkling like stars in the sky……

Luo Xiu lowered his eyes, the smile on him resembled the body of water at the temple that had been disrupted for the first time ever, wavering deep inside his eyes.

Prior to the trip, he had thought about how to act out the appropriate and genuine fondness belonging to the “Luo Xiu” that she wanted him to be during this pre-determined variety show.

As it turned out, he didn’t need to act at all ––

Seeing her brought him genuine joy.

Qi Han drove Gu Nian and Luo Xiu to City K’s airport.

Arriving at the terminal, Qi Han kindly explained to Gu Nian why he picked the two of them up at the same time. “Screenwriter Gu and B…. Mr. Luo both reside in City K. For the same of our… our show’s budget, that and on top of the fact that he was the actor that you have recommended, we thought we would pick both of you up together.”

Gu Nian was very touched when she heard that. “Your production team is so thrifty.”

Babyface said stiffly, “Right, right. That we are.”

That was thrifty, alright. He, as the project manager, was here as the chauffeur.

Gu Nian only recollected herself during the check-in process. She looked around and noticed that her white suitcase had somehow ended up in Luo Xiu’s hand.

Gu Nian approached him shyly, “I, I, I. I will take that myself.”

Luo Xiu gently pushed her suitcase away from her. He looked down at her and smiled. “Nope.”

“……”

Being so close to her precious son and being looked at by him with that tender smile, Gu Nian felt that her heart was about to turn into liquid form.

Wuwuwu, her precious son seemed to be looking even more attractive!

Recollecting herself, she bobbed her head. “Why not?”

Luo Xiu, “It’s a gentleman’s job to take care of the ladies. Besides, Manager Qi has my suitcase. You can go talk to him –– and see if he agrees to it.”

“……”

Gu Nian turned around and, from behind her, the look from the man that was much taller than her and was completely unobstructed casted down on Qi Han “tenderly”.

Qi Han was the innocent collateral damage. He had already shuddered from the words “Manager Qi”.

Once he had recollected himself, he gripped tightly onto Luo Xiu’s suitcase and said with a solemn look to Gu Nian before she could say a word, “You will have to pry it out of my cold, dead fingers.”

Gu Nian, “…………?”

Wow, he was the project manager for BH Media alright. Even his way of thinking was much different than an ordinary individual.

After they had checked in, the three went through the security check point together. Gu Nian, with her boarding pass in hand, looked for the boarding gate. Qi Han, however, said goodbye to them seriously. “Screenwriter Gu, B… Mr. Luo. I shall see you in City P.”

Gu Nian was taken aback a little. She lifted up the boarding pass in her hand. “Aren’t you taking the same flight as us?”

Qi Han, “No.”

Gu Nian, “Oh? Why is that?”

“……”

Qi Han really wanted to tell her that because his unconscientious boss did not want him to be the third wheel and cruelly made him take the next flight.

But he was a coward and dared not say that.

As such, under the tender look from his evil dragon boss, Babyface said seriously, “I needed to discuss some issues with a colleague of mine. He will be here a little later, so I am going to wait for him here.”

Gu Nian nodded with understanding. She gave the working-class slave a pitiful look and said, “That’s rough, Mr. Qi.”

Qi Han was close to tears. “No, not at all. Everything for my boss.”

Gu Nian smiled.

Luo Xiu did not torture his poor subordinate who was already worn out both physically and mentally. After Gu Nian had finished talked to QI Han, he said to her in a low voice, “Shall we head to the gate?”

“Oh, alright!”

Gu Nian happily walked toward the boarding gate next to Luo Xiu.
