The waiter, who was waiting quietly on the side for them to order, could tell that he had been trained well. Even though he saw that the star, which was the favorite of the ten thousand people on the screen, was sitting right in front of him, he didn't show any other emotion on his face.

An Ning wasn't too keen on Western cuisine, so she handed the dishes over to Gu Ruoyun. After asking her if there were any taboos, Gu Ruoyun quickly finished ordering, then closed the menu and passed it to the waiter.

With the door closed, only the two of them were left in the room. Gu Ruoyun let out a long breath and leaned back against the back of the chair.

"I've been tired these past few days. I've been rushing to announce it."

Gu Ruoyun's voice was full of fatigue, and the dark circles in her eyes that she hadn't covered even with makeup were exposed under the light.

An Ning looked at Gu Ruoyun with a pained expression, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that it wasn't easy for everyone to live their lives. When she saw Gu Ruoyun on the television, she always wore a delicate and exquisite appearance, and her smile was calm and charming.

"How long has it been since you last slept? Your dark circles are so heavy."

Gu Ruoyun raised her eyes to look at An Ning, her fingers moving slightly as if she was counting the time.

"It's been three days already, but I should be able to have a good night's sleep."

Having said so, Gu Ruoyun suddenly sat up, placed her elbows on the table, and supported her chin as she looked at An Ning.

"Oh right, how are you doing now? Who's so lucky to be in the top three?"

Seeing that Gu Ruoyun had regained her vigor as soon as there was gossip, An Ning smiled helplessly.

"Yes, Li Xiaoran is one, as well as the two young misses from the Song and Wang families!"

Upon hearing a name that she was very familiar with, Gu Ruoyun's eyes widened with interest.

"Li Xiaoran?" She's quite fast. "

The waiter carried an ice bucket and placed her on the table. He opened the bottle and prepared to pour some wine for An Ning, but An Ning hurriedly stopped him. She was currently pregnant and couldn't drink, so Gu Ruoyun didn't mind.

While the wine was being poured, the waiter behind them came in and placed a serving of Marseille Corn in front of them. The next waiter ordered it precisely, and after the two used it, the appetizer, Citrus Mussel Ball, was brought in.

On a comma-shaped black plate were four round balls that looked like Soup Dumplings. However, their structure was more similar to that of Soup Dumplings. Their skin was thin and coffee-colored with purple shell shaped petals on their heads. They looked very attractive.

From the looks of it, Gu Ruoyun was not only very tired, she didn't seem to have had a proper meal these past few days. After serving the food, she rarely spoke to An Ning, and only occasionally brought up something delicious with this dish. It wasn't until the dessert was served and the waiters had all left that Gu Ruoyun finally put down the knife and fork in her hands, letting out a long sigh of satisfaction.

"Oh right, I actually want to ask you something."

It was unknown whether it was because she was full or because Gu Ruoyun was a little drunk after drinking a few cups of wine, but her tone of voice carried a bit of laziness. If the person sitting opposite her was a man right now, he definitely wouldn't be able to resist and soften half of his body.

An Ning put down the knife and fork in her hand, and looked at Gu Ruoyun seriously.

"Yes, ask away."

"Do you have any interest in opening your own design studio? Your clothes are so popular right now, it's about time to create a brand of your own."

As Gu Ruoyun spoke, her interest was piqued. She sat up straight, her eyes flashing with spiritual light as she looked at An Ning.

"Weren't you working in that studio called Wishing Room before? "With the popularity of the clothes you're designing now, in addition to the rivalry between the female celebrities, there will be more people who will notice the clothes you're designing and then come to find you. I feel that in less than two years, your studio's size will exceed your wish."

An Ning was also moved by Gu Ruoyun's words, but the more she listened, the more unreasonable she became. She didn't have that kind of ability yet, how many years had she accumulated strength in her studio? It would be difficult for her to surpass it.

However, in An Ning's heart, she had always had the thought of opening her own studio to make a clothing brand. However, the current her, An Ning smiled wryly in her heart as she silently counted the amount of money she had in her bank account.

"Let's talk about it in the future. I still don't have any funds right now, so creating a studio won't be that easy."

Gu Ruoyun didn't think that she would actually wait for such a reason, so she straightforwardly waved her hand.

"So what? I do. I can join your studio. I'll pay you to help."

An Ning fell silent. Gu Ruoyun's suggestion was just too tempting, especially for a designer. Having her own studio and clothing brand had always been a dream for her since she'd entered this industry, and now that she had a "human-shaped billboard" as her own, she didn't even need to advertise. Countless orders would arrive one after another, and very quickly, many people would recognize her own clothing brand.

Thinking back to that scene, An Ning couldn't help but feel her blood boil.

However, due to the fact that her clothes were tightly pressed against her body, revealing the obvious outline of her lower abdomen, An Ning sighed regretfully in her heart. There were too many things to do before the establishment of the studio, and she was still pregnant.

Thinking up to here, An Ning shook her head as she deliberated over her words.

"Let's talk about it later. I'm not in a good condition right now, so I'm afraid I can't manage the studio properly."

Although An Ning's words were tactful, Gu Ruoyun understood that this was already a very obvious rejection. Upon hearing her words, she didn't continue persuading An Ning.

"Alright, but you can always look for me whenever you want in the future."

Just as Gu Ruoyun finished speaking, a bell suddenly rang out from the bag she put aside. Gu Ruoyun carelessly took it, but when she saw the name displayed on the screen, her expression changed, and she subconsciously looked at An Ning.

An Ning had been looking at Gu Ruoyun the entire time, and had clearly observed the change in her expression. In her heart, she instantly understood that this phone call was not for outsiders to hear.

"Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom. I accidentally touched the sauce on my wrist."

As An Ning said this, she raised her wrist to demonstrate. Indeed, there was a very obvious brown sauce on her white and slender wrist.

Gu Ruoyun awkwardly nodded her head and quickly picked up the phone after An Ning left.

"Where are you now?"
