As expected, Yan Keyi's face scrunched up after Jiang Ning said that.

"Is it really not suitable for you, sister? Then I'll go change it."

Seeing that Yan Keyi was really about to change out of her clothes in disappointment, Jiang Ning quickly stopped her.

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding. It's very good."

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, Yan Keyi spun around a few times in her shoes, partly to test if they fit, and partly because she was pleased with Jiang Ning's affirmation. Only then did a smile appear on Yan Keyi's face.

After picking out a few more pairs of shoes to change into and shoes for home, Jiang Ning finally left the store with Yan Keyi.

Originally, he wanted to take Yan Keyi to buy clothes and other things, but he was stopped by someone after leaving the house.

"Hello, miss. I think you'd be perfect for a role in my new movie. Would you be interested in acting in it?"

Being suddenly confronted and questioned by a stranger, especially with such unreliable questions, terrified Yan Keyi, who immediately burrowed into Jiang Ning's arms.

Yan Keyi's past experiences made it difficult for her to get close to others; she always maintained a certain distance and excessive politeness. Jiang Ning had been able to sense this from last night until now.

Right now, Yan Keyi is so scared that she's burrowing into her arms, which shows how frightened she must have been.

"Please let go first, you're scaring my sister."

Jiang Ning had always held a high position; she was just being gentle and patient with Yan Keyi. But when she got serious, she easily exuded an aura of authority without anger. With just one glance from her, the person opposite her immediately let go.

After the others let go, Jiang Ning silently shielded Yan Keyi behind him.

"I'm sorry for being so abrupt and startling your sister. Here's my business card; you can take a look."

Realizing his offense, Hu Yiming apologized first, then handed over his business card.

Jiang Ning originally didn't want to accept it, but Hu Yiming insisted, so she had no choice but to take it and glance at it.

A contracted director under Phantom Entertainment.

Jiang Ning's work has nothing to do with the entertainment industry, and she wouldn't be familiar with most companies. But Phantom Design, which she works for, belongs to the H Group.

Seeing that Jiang Ning glanced at his business card but didn't say anything, Hu Yiming took the initiative to speak first.

"How about this, let's find a coffee shop and talk it over carefully. If you still feel it's not suitable after we've talked, I won't bother you anymore."

Hu Yiming knew it would be strange for him to suddenly stop someone in public, and not everyone would be curious about acting. But he genuinely felt that Yan Keyi's image was a perfect fit for the role.

They've been holding open auditions for a very long time, but unfortunately they haven't been able to find a suitable candidate.

So no matter what, he still wanted to try.

Although Phantom's reputation could alleviate some of Jiang Ning's concerns, she was still more concerned about Yan Keyi's own opinion. If Yan Keyi didn't have that intention, she felt there was no point in even talking about it.

"Here's the script. You can take a look at it first. If you're interested after reading it, you can call the number on my business card to contact me."

Seeing that the two were not willing to budge and even seemed to be refusing, Hu Yiming had no choice but to resort to this method as a second-best option.

He was confident in his script, and believed they would like it if they were willing to read it. Logically, the script shouldn't have been leaked so easily, but Hu Yiming really wanted to win over Yan Keyi, hence his actions.

After Hu Yiming left, Yan Keyi still hid behind him. Jiang Ning thought that Yan Keyi was close to him because they had spent the night together, which made Yan Keyi relax.

But it seems that she is only dependent on herself and still seems to be quite resistant to the outside world.

"Yiyi, it's alright now. Shall we go shopping for clothes?"

He patted Yan Keyi's head to bring her attention back, and Yan Keyi slowly came back to her senses.

But after this incident, Yan Keyi's spirits were clearly not as high as before. Jiang Ning kept trying to cheer Yan Keyi up, but with little success.

In addition, Jiang Ning had basically bought everything he needed for Yan Keyi, so he was ready to take her back with him.

Throughout the journey, Jiang Ning had been pondering: Yan Keyi seemed a bit too closed off. Perhaps this opportunity would allow her to interact more with the outside world, which wouldn't be a bad idea.

"Yiyi, please sit down for a while. I'll go pack my things."

Although she was a little worried about Yan Keyi, Jiang Ning bought a lot of things back home. She was a bit of a tidy person and couldn't stand the house being too messy.

Jiang Ning arranged Yan Keyi's personal belongings in the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. Only after completing this process did Jiang Ning realize that Yan Keyi had been following him closely the entire time.

"Yiyi, what's wrong?"

Holding Yan Keyi's hand, Jiang Ning led her to the sofa and gently hugged her.

"Is something on Yiyi's mind?"

Jiang Ning spoke gently and slowly, seemingly possessing a charm that could calm people down.

"Sister, why does no one like me? I want everyone to like me, but it seems that no matter how hard I try, no one likes me."

Jiang Ning kept patting Yan Keyi's back. During this time, Yan Keyi didn't say a word. It was so long that Jiang Ning almost thought time had stopped before Yan Keyi finally spoke, but her voice was tinged with a sob.

Jiang Ning knew that what Yan Keyi said last night was definitely not the whole story. Although he didn't know exactly what Hu Yiming had done to hurt Yan Keyi, at least she was willing to talk about it now, which was a good thing, to say.

Only if Jiang Ning understands the root of Yan Keyi's problem can he gradually help her get out of it.

"Sister, I want to give it a try."

However, Jiang Ning waited a long time but received no further comment. When Yan Keyi finally spoke again, it was just this one sentence.

"Hmm? Try what?"

Although Yan Keyi's tone sounds like she's cheered up, what is she trying to do?

"I want to try what that director said, I want to try to make other people like Yiyi."

Although Jiang Ning really wanted to tell Yan Keyi that even though her parents and brother didn't like her, she still had her own family, and she also had her grandparents who loved her very much.

But after thinking about it, it's better not to dampen Yan Keyi's enthusiasm now that she's finally cheered up.

“Our Yiyi deserves to be liked by others. No matter what, I will stay by your side.”

Jiang Ning hadn't taken the script seriously before, unsure of Yan Keyi's wishes. But now that she wanted to give it a try, she brought out the script and wanted Yan Keyi to approve it first. If it was a bad movie, she might as well use her connections to get Yan Keyi acting in some good films.
