Molly hurriedly rushed back to the hotel and immediately found Luo Nianshu.
“How’s Qiao Jinyan?”
“I’m fine.” Before Luo Nianshu could speak, Qiao Jinyan threw off the covers and sat up, answering first.
Molly sighed in relief but then started angrily cursing that old pervert Zhang Weiyin.
“I’m actually quite curious why did you come to find me last night?” Qiao Jinyan looked at Luo Nianshu.
Hearing this, Molly finally realized something: yeah, how did the fight happen to break out so coincidentally?
Luo Nianshu didn’t hide it: “I was going to the restroom and overheard your conversation with Zhang Weiyin in the private room. I immediately knew something was about to happen.”
“So you caused that fight?” Molly was surprised; she didn’t expect Luo Nianshu to have that capability.
“In our line of work, causing chaos is our specialty.” Luo Nianshu smiled proudly.
Qiao Jinyan recalled her own wedding and snorted coldly, “Indeed, quite a specialty.”
Luo Nianshu didn’t realize the sarcasm she truly thought Qiao Jinyan was praising her and felt even happier inside.
“Did the media find out about this?”
“Don’t worry, the news is tightly controlled.” Molly paused, lowering her eyes. “Jinyan, I have something to tell you. Please don’t be upset.”
“Go ahead.” Qiao Jinyan picked up the water cup casually.
She had been through every storm imaginable what could possibly hurt her now?
“Wang Xu is getting married.”
With a sudden spit-take, Qiao Jinyan sprayed out the water she had just taken.
She and Luo Nianshu shouted in unison, “What?! It’s only been a few months?!”
Molly looked a bit embarrassed. Compared to shock or sadness, the two women in front of her were mostly furious.
The paper cup in Qiao Jinyan’s hand was crumpled into a ball, and the sparks of anger in her eyes were beginning to spread like wildfire: That bastard Wang Xu ruined her reputation overnight and became a nationwide laughingstock, and now he dares to leisurely get married?!
Luo Nianshu cracked her knuckles noisily: That scumbag not only deceived others’ feelings but also caused her to owe thirty million, forcing her to work as Qiao Jinyan’s assistant. If she doesn’t get revenge, she’s not Luo Nianshu!
“When’s the wedding?” Luo Nianshu asked through clenched teeth.
“Uh…” Molly cautiously answered, “In a week. Just before that, he’s releasing a new album.”
“So it’s a publicity stunt for the new album?” Qiao Jinyan sneered, her tone more certain than doubtful.
Thinking carefully, he released an album shortly before the wedding last time too. Although after the wedding-snatching incident he was heavily criticized online, this kind of “black-red” (negative yet popular) effect brought him massive traffic, and his album sold out quickly.
“Release an album and get married each time?” Luo Nianshu’s eyes were full of mockery.
Molly tried to ease the atmosphere, “That’s just a guess, nothing confirmed.”
Qiao Jinyan snorted. Wang Xu is a coward he had the guts to smear her but no guts to contact her again. Since that incident, Wang Xu hadn’t reached out, and the entertainment company refused to see her when contacted.
“If he were a real man, he’d at least tell me the ex and personally hand me the invitation.”
Qiao Jinyan sat on the rattan chair on the balcony, crossing her beautiful legs and tapping the table with her fingers.
Molly knew Qiao Jinyan was still angry and didn’t want to ignite the volcano again, so she changed the subject, taking out a draft book. “Next week, you have to promote the new movie. Here are some new dresses designed by Dior’s designer. Pick one you like.”
Qiao Jinyan took the sketches, her attention drawn to the dresses, and her annoyed expression eased a little.
Luo Nianshu noticed that when it came to work, Qiao Jinyan always focused intensely and seriously. For some reason, this made her feel incredibly proud.
“The pearl feather dress this one fits this year’s fashion trend.” Qiao Jinyan checked the blue-gray feather dress and handed the draft back to Molly.
Molly nodded approvingly, putting the sketches into her handbag and locking it. “Alright, I’ll feedback to the company quickly. Two weeks later, we’ll wear this on the red carpet.”
The night breeze was gentle.
After finishing the various chores, Luo Nianshu returned home and saw Qiao Jinyan sitting alone on the rattan chair in the courtyard, with several bottles of cocktails beside her.
Luo Nianshu quietly approached her. “Goddess, what’s got you drinking alone like this?”
Qiao Jinyan glanced at her, then turned back. “Drinking alone? What do I have to be upset about?”
Luo Nianshu smiled and pulled a chair to sit next to her.
Wang Xu’s upcoming wedding was exposed by paparazzi, though Luo Nianshu seriously doubted whether the “discovery” was actually the reporters “actively” finding out or Wang Xu “passively” letting them find out.
Tonight’s trending search exploded again because of Wang Xu’s wedding, dragging Qiao Jinyan into the spotlight once more.
After all, Qiao Jinyan was always the innocent person caught in the crossfire.
“You’re sad because the person you like is getting married,” Luo Nianshu pointed out the core issue.
Her face smiled, but her heart twitched inexplicably, and her eyes darkened bit by bit.
“I like him?” Qiao Jinyan laughed sarcastically, “Luo Nianshu, you really don’t understand me.”
Hearing this, Luo Nianshu’s dim eyes brightened again, like the last spark in dying embers reigniting in the wind.
She stared at Qiao Jinyan’s profile, “So you don’t like him?”
“Who would like such a scumbag?” Qiao Jinyan slammed the cup on the table in frustration, “I’m just unwilling. I was abandoned by a scumbag and slandered for such a long time.”
Then, as if remembering something, Qiao Jinyan suddenly put down the glass, smiling slyly: “Thirty million assistant.”
Luo Nianshu shivered. When Qiao Jinyan said it like that, it usually meant trouble.
“You’re a professional at helping people avoid weddings. Go mess up Wang Xu’s wedding for me.”
Qiao Jinyan leaned toward her, half threatening, half tempting.
Luo Nianshu stepped back, swallowing nervously. “No. I only take jobs where both bride and groom agree.”
“Anyway, Wang Xu is a liar. He tricked the bride. Can you bear to let that girl suffer the same pain I did?”
Qiao Jinyan looked so pitiful, sitting back, wiping tears with the back of her hand.
Seeing her cry, Luo Nianshu panicked and didn’t know what to do.
But she really couldn’t agree.
“You’re my assistant. You should obey all my orders. It’s in the contract.”
Qiao Jinyan pouted, crying with teary eyes.
Luo Nianshu scratched her head, looking troubled: “But…”
“Forget it.” Qiao Jinyan suddenly sounded cold. Seeing she wouldn’t agree, she stopped pretending. Wiping away her tears, she returned to her cold and aloof face and jabbed: “Boring person.”
Only then did Luo Nianshu realize she was faking it just now. She glared angrily. Qiao Jinyan didn’t care at all; she turned her head and elegantly resumed drinking.
“If I help you ruin Wang Xu’s wedding?” Luo Nianshu asked.
“If you mess up Wang Xu’s wedding… I’ll reward you.”
“What reward?”
Would she forgive her 30 million debt?
Qiao Jinyan’s eyes flickered: “This reward.”
She suddenly bent down and lightly pecked Luo Nianshu’s lips.
Their eyes met. Qiao Jinyan was very pleased with Luo Nianshu’s surprise.
She loved seeing the playful Luo Nianshu stunned.
Luo Nianshu was indeed stunned, but the next second, she didn’t hesitate and pushed Qiao Jinyan’s head down to kiss her again.
Under the starlit night, Luo Nianshu bit at Qiao Jinyan’s lips as if devouring her, while Qiao Jinyan responded passionately like enchanted.
No one knew who kissed who first. Both fought desperately to gain the upper hand.
After a long time, they broke apart, gasping for breath.
Qiao Jinyan flipped back her hair covering her eyes and said to Luo Nianshu, “It must be the drug from last night that hasn’t worn off yet…”
She sounded like she was talking to herself.
Luo Nianshu didn’t deny, gasping, “Yeah, not yet…”
“Must be the alcohol just now…” Qiao Jinyan added, seeming to want more proof.
Luo Nianshu nodded, “Yeah, drunk…”
“Since that’s the case…” Qiao Jinyan’s eyes narrowed.
“Since that’s the case…” Luo Nianshu’s eyes shone bright and charming in the darkness.
Qiao Jinyan stood up and straddled Luo Nianshu’s lap, kissing her again. This time, her body slightly lifted, pressing all her weight onto Luo Nianshu.
Luo Nianshu wasn’t willing to lose. One hand wrapped around Qiao Jinyan’s waist, the other clawed upward.
Qiao Jinyan cried out in pain, arching backward, pressing against her.
They kissed wildly. Between breaths, Luo Nianshu asked, “Qiao Jinyan, do you like me?”
Hearing this, Qiao Jinyan’s body stiffened.
Feeling the change in her, Luo Nianshu stopped and looked up at her.
Does she like her? Qiao Jinyan asked herself.
Of course not.
That answer was definite.
Sober Qiao Jinyan suddenly realized what she was doing.
She pushed Luo Nianshu away, removed her hand, frowned anxiously, and stood up.
“This is too much.”
“Too much?” Luo Nianshu squinted.
Is that how she evaluated everything just now?
Who started this fire?
Qiao Jinyan avoided her eyes, unwilling to respond further. She hurried into the bedroom and locked the door, as if trying to draw a clear line with Luo Nianshu.
Luo Nianshu was left outside, alone in the chilly night wind.
She looked at the light shining from Qiao Jinyan’s room, feeling an indescribable emotion.
After a long while, she showed a self mocking smile.
