Chapter 158 Extra: Mucheng

The main actors had finished filming, and logically the director should have treated the entire crew to a meal, but Nan Qiao had many difficulties with eating, so Director Wu regretfully gave up the idea and just gave her a big red envelope.

Nan Qiao took the red envelope from Director Wu with a smile, and then she found Mu Cheng coming to her side.

"Happy wrap-up."

"Thank you, Brother Mu." She thanked with a smile.

Mu Cheng wore a bright and handsome smile, without a trace of gloom. He seemed to be hesitant to speak, "Qiao Qiao, I have something to tell you, is that okay?"

Nan Qiao was a little confused, but she still put down the bouquet in her hand and followed him into the dressing room. Xu Rong always paid attention to her own artists, so she naturally noticed this scene.

She frowned slightly, thought again and again, and stood outside the dressing room, hesitating whether to follow in, when suddenly she saw the big boss appearing out of nowhere.

Qi Jing was holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand. The bright red roses were in full bloom, with dewdrops on the petals. He must have bought them to celebrate the completion of Nan Qiao's filming.

He held flowers in one hand and stood outside the slightly ajar door with the other, his eyelids slightly drooping and his eyelashes long and thick.

He was extremely handsome, with a tall and slender figure. The long trench coat made him look very elegant. No one could tell that he was eavesdropping.

"Brother Mu, is there something wrong?"

Nan Qiao raised her eyes and asked doubtfully.

The dressing room was brightly lit, revealing every detail of the girl's facial hair. Her feathers were long and slender, and her eyes were bright and her teeth were white, just as she had been three years ago.

Mu Cheng felt a little nervous as his clenched palms were sweating. Even if he was thinking deeply about it, this was the first time for him to confess his feelings in all these years.

"Qiao Qiao, I like you."

Nan Qiao was stunned when he heard this.

Mu Cheng just stared at her and continued without caring, "I've liked you since three years ago, also at that Xi family dinner. I entered the entertainment industry and took on this movie because of you..."

The girl in the red evening gown was so beautiful that she looked almost demonic. She amazed countless people at the Xi family dinner party, and the 19-year-old young master Cheng of the Mu family fell in love with her.

After that night, countless people coveted the girl and wanted to take her into their arms.

In order to get closer to her, the young and frivolous man rushed into the entertainment industry recklessly.

But he was still a step too late.

The girl quit the entertainment industry three months after her debut. The only proof that she had been in the entertainment industry was a weak and flimsy withdrawal statement on Weibo and fans shouting her name at the top of their lungs.

The intoxicatingly beautiful girl only appeared in the entertainment industry for three months before she completely disappeared.

When countless fans look back on these three months, it seems like a beautiful dream.

But Mu Cheng knew it was not a dream.

He frantically used the Mu family's connections to search for Nan Qiao, but found nothing. In the end, he could only interrogate Yu Xiu.

After repeatedly asking Yu Xiu, who used to be high-spirited but now looked lonely, he finally learned from him that Nan Qiao was taken away by the head of the Qi family, Mr. Qi Sanye.

The head of the Qi family, Master Qi San, Qi Jing.

A person who is admired by the elders, resented by the peers, and respected by the younger generations in their circle.

Qiao Qiao was taken away by Qi Jing.

After confirming the news, Mu Cheng stood there in a daze. For a moment, he didn't know how to react.

If he remembered correctly, Qi Jing seemed to have attended the Xi family's dinner that night.

He was a step too late.

No, it's not just one step late, it's many steps late.

Although Qi Jing is older than him, the other party is only two or three years older than him in terms of age. However, the two people with similar ages have different weight in the circle.

One is the head of the Qi family who controls the entire family and has brought it to glory within a few years, while the other is the young master of the Mu family who is just living a life of idleness and waiting to die...

As he is, it seems that he is indeed not qualified to compete with the third master of the Qi family for Qiao Qiao's love.

But he was unwilling to give up.

How could I possibly be willing to do that?

Everyone wants to embrace the bright and clear moon, so why can't it be him?

Yu Xiu’s dejected look was still before his eyes, his red eyes filled with regret for losing the treasure.

He did not question Qi Jing immediately.

Men understand men best.

Since I have already picked the moon and hidden it in my arms, how could I bear to take it out and let others see it?

If it were him, he would also be reluctant.

Unfortunately, that wasn't him.

So Mu Cheng could only secretly intensify his search for the girl's whereabouts, and even at one point alerted Qi Jing and made him notice his actions.

Just when he thought Qi Jing would warn him, or warn the Mu family.

The other party did not take any action.

Mu Cheng didn't feel happy about this.

Because this does not prove how kind Qi Jing is to his love rival, but only proves how much he doesn't care about Mu Cheng's provocative behavior.

After all, the elephant on top will never look down at the ants under its feet.

Who would really take ants seriously?

Maybe Qi Jing's approach was indeed right.

Three years, a full three years.

Even though Mu Cheng had found out where Nan Qiao was, he had no chance of taking her away because she was guarded by so many mercenaries.

This made him fall into despair.

Just when he thought he might never see Nan Qiao again in his life, the news of Nan Qiao's return to the entertainment industry became a hot topic on Weibo.

Looking at the trending search, Mu Cheng sneered inwardly, how is it possible?

Why would that man be willing to let the person go?

He had used this "cry wolf" trick on trending searches several times. He kept saying it was impossible, but his finger couldn't help but click on the trending search...

So a few days later, when he learned that Nan Qiao had really returned to the entertainment industry and was about to participate in the same show as him.

He was completely shocked and excited.

During the live broadcasts of several days, he tried his best to suppress his emotions and tried hard to pretend that he was meeting her for the first time.

He took great pains to find out her itinerary, and after learning that she had joined Director Wu's crew, he also used his connections to join Director Wu's crew.

The nearly three months he spent on the crew were probably the happiest time he had in recent years.

Just like what Director Wu said.

He is indeed a good actor.

The surging love was stirring in his heart, but on the surface he still managed to remain completely impervious, and he had been maintaining the demeanor of "Brother Mu" for three months.

But now, he really doesn't want to act anymore.

The girl in front of him seemed frightened by his words, her bright eyes slightly widened, revealing a hint of disbelief.

"...Everything I've done in the past few years has been to get closer to you."

The sunny and well-behaved boy's eyes revealed a hint of crazy love, but the girl's eyes were dark and unclear when he looked at her.

Nan Qiao's face was filled with horror, and he subconsciously took a step back. This step made Mu Cheng's expression gloomy. He quickly suppressed his emotions, stood silently with his eyes lowered, like a sinner whose final punishment was announced.

There was a moment of silence in the dressing room.

Nan Qiao pondered for a moment, her mind racing with thoughts. She looked up at him seriously and said, "I'm sorry, Mu Cheng. Thank you so much for your love, but I can't accept it."

Even though he already knew the answer, Mu Cheng's face still couldn't help but darken. He couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"You also know the relationship between Qi Jing and I..."

"Of course I know. No one knows better than me except Qiao Qiao's agent Yu Xiu," Mu Cheng said anxiously.

"This is all Qi Jing's fault. Qiao Qiao, don't be afraid. If you want, I can take you away immediately..."

"But why should I leave with you?"

Mu Cheng's brows furrowed as he interrupted him, his face filled with serious confusion. "I don't like you either. In my eyes, what's the difference between you and Qi Jing?"

Mu Cheng was speechless.

How can there be no difference?

He wouldn't trap her like Qi Jing did, nor would he force her. As long as she wanted to do something, he would do his best to support her...

"And if you really take me away, Qi Jing will probably be very angry. Have you thought about the consequences of doing so?"

"I heard that you are in the same circle as Qi Jing. Would your family agree with you doing this? Have you ever thought about whether it will implicate them?"

The girl who usually smiles and talks cheerfully was exceptionally calm at this moment, and she methodically stated the concerns that should be taken into consideration, word by word.

Mu Cheng was very calm and frank. "I've thought about it. As long as you agree, I will immediately call my eldest brother and ask him to kick me out of the Mu family. I have also run a lot of businesses abroad over the years. When the time comes, we can go abroad..."

The Qi family is powerful, but overseas is not a place where they can control everything.

Mu Cheng's words were well-organized, and it was obvious that he had been thinking about it for a long time. He looked at Nan Qiao with anticipation in his eyes, obviously expecting Nan Qiao's answer.

The dressing room fell into silence again.

The man in the dressing room was anxiously waiting for her answer, while the man outside the dressing room also lowered his eyes, with an unfathomable expression, waiting patiently.

"I don't want to."

A soft but resolute voice spread in the dressing room, causing the corners of the man's lips outside the dressing room to curl slightly.

Mu Cheng's face turned pale and his voice was dry, "...Why?"

Nan Qiao shook her head. "Let's not talk about my dislike for you. Let's just say that the price you paid for this was too high."

"I don't need you to give up your family and career for me, and I don't want to give up my family and fans either."

Her mother was buried in the country, and she was unwilling to leave where her mother was.

Her fans have been waiting for her all these years, and she is unwilling to abandon them again.

and……

Nan Qiao's eyes looked more complicated.

She actually has complicated feelings towards Qi Jing.

It’s hard to say I like it, but it’s not entirely clear whether I hate it or not.

It's very complicated.

She doesn't have anyone she likes in her heart. If she were to name any men she's familiar with over the years, one is her agent Yu Xiu, and the other is... Qi Jing.

Shaking his head, Nan Qiao gathered his scattered thoughts and said seriously again, "I'm sorry, I can't bear such a sacrifice. Thank you for your love."

"In that case, Brother Mu, don't say it again in the future." After saying that, he turned and walked towards the dressing room door.

The word "Brother Mu" put Mu Cheng back to his original position.

Mu Cheng's face turned pale. The young man who was originally full of energy and vitality couldn't help but feel tired after being rejected. The bitterness in his voice became heavier. "...I'm sorry, Qiao Qiao, I can't promise you."

He could promise her anything, but there was only one thing he couldn't do.

He couldn't give up.

Nan Qiao paused slightly, pursed her lips, and continued walking towards the dressing room with an expressionless face...

Introduction: "Qiqi Little Cannon Fodder Class has begun! Everyone, listen carefully!"

"The little transparent ones are all unknown..."

"Most of them are introverts. They have a low sense of presence in groups, are extremely inconspicuous, and are easily ignored..."

"Even if I have a crush on someone, I keep it a secret and don't dare to express it openly..."

"They are generally not easily bullied, and can even be said to be completely ignored..."

Tapping the blackboard, 007's eyes were filled with excitement. "Huihui, you will play a role like this in the future! How about it? It's easy, isn't it?"

Minghui sat upright and nodded seriously.

Well, it’s really simple!

The first step of the little transparent person is to hand over a love letter, and the target is rejected. Get it!

007 trembled (frustrated and roared), "Huihui, what's going on? Why are they surrounding me one by one!!!"

Minghui's face was confused, she didn't know either.

The second step for the little transparent person is to become a supporting role for her boyfriend’s white moonlight, with the goal of breaking up with him. Get it!

007 bit his handkerchief (wanting to cry but unable to), "Huihui, run, run, they're chasing us again. Damn it, they forgot that the host of this world has no memories..."
