Chapter 436: Work Continues
Whether it was the effect of alcohol or the excitement that had not subsided, Xiang Nuan did not sleep well all night. She felt like a light was on in her brain, and she could see everything changing like a movie without opening her eyes.
As soon as it was dawn, she could no longer lie down and got out of bed on tiptoe.
The living room was a mess, and she tried to recall it with her fragmented mind for a long time, but she could not find any evidence of a night of revelry. Could it be that they had gone crazy again after the party?
Oh, I'd better drink less alcohol in the future. It's too bad for my brain.
She staggered into the kitchen, wanting to make a cup of strong coffee, and saw Elena with a head of explosive hair. It seemed that she was not the only one who was stimulated.
"Good morning!" Xiang Nuan opened her mouth only to find her voice was hoarse. She couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Morning..." Elena was not much better than her. Her hoarse voice was even filled with unclear bubbles.
"Coffee?" she asked with blurry eyes.
"Okay, a little thicker." Xiang Nuan replied.
The two of them sat at the dining table, each with a cup of hot coffee, facing each other, but looking at each other without saying a word. It was as if the madness of yesterday had emptied everything, and the wandering souls had not yet returned.
"They don't have to work today." Xiang Nuan said slowly.
"Tsk," Elena chuckled. "How is that possible? Old Lu kept me company last night and talked about his plans to make a movie."
Xiang Nuan imagined that scene and smiled. The most beautiful love words between the couple were probably about work.
"You didn't tell him about your fashion show?"
"Hey, he said he wanted you to be in his movie wearing that outfit."
Xiang Nuan almost vomited and instantly became half sober.
"Please forgive me."
"To be honest, you were awesome yesterday. Five minutes, no logos, no ads, and not a complete outfit, but it was enough to outperform the endorsements of top celebrities. To be honest, I think you have a magical power that will make everyone fall in love with you."
"It sounds so dangerous." Xiang Nuan pouted and shook her head.
"You guy..." Elena laughed, "Have you finished drinking? Get ready to work!"
"I knew you got up so early not because you fell in love with me." Xiang Nuan drank the last sip of coffee and just as she stood up, she saw Uncle Huo walking in.
"Good morning, ma'am. Good morning, Elena." Uncle Huo's smile is always calm and reassuring, and you can tell at a glance that he has had a good rest.
"I heard the noise and guessed that you were already up," said Uncle Huo.
"Where's Ranran?"
"He had a lot of fun last night and is still sleeping now."
Xiang Nuan smiled sweetly. Ran Ran had probably never played so crazy before, and her little body must be exhausted.
"You should rest for a while too. It will probably be noon before they get up. Elena and I will go to the studio. Don't worry about us."
"Uh...there's something..." Uncle Huo paused.
"You guys chat, I'm going to take a shower and change clothes." Elena walked away tactfully.
Watching her back as she turned around the living room, Uncle Huo continued, "Jin Nuoyi is here."
“Already here?”
"She arrived at two in the morning. She had already been to the police station."
"Really? That's quick. I thought she would come to me first. How's it going? Has Zhai Jinpeng been released on bail?"
"Not really. The police have procedures to follow after all. It should be today."
Xiang Nuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Do you think she will ignore him and leave him here?"
"If it were you, would you be able to do it?" Uncle Huo also laughed.
Xiang Nuan shook her head. Of course not. It would be a shame to throw away such a useful and loyal toy. What's more, she really liked it.
"I feel she will definitely come to see you, so you must be careful these two days." Uncle Huo warned.
"It's okay, she must have come alone, there's no danger."
"Be careful. This matter has not been completely settled yet, especially Yuan Zhen. I am always worried that she will do something extreme."
"Ah——" Xiang Nuan almost forgot about this person. She had never taken her seriously. After all, Chen Weiming had no chance of turning things around, and Zhai Jinpeng could be stable for the time being. And she was just a small supporting role who insisted on adding her own role to the show.
"Chen Weiming will not let her go. After all, she betrayed him so blatantly."
"Wolves always work together to commit evil, and there's no guarantee they won't join forces in desperate situations."
Xiang Nuan's heart was slightly moved, and she couldn't help but sigh at the deep scheming of Uncle Huo. At this time, everyone should think that the dust has settled, including her, and she also thinks that she can put her heart back in her stomach. Only Uncle Huo is still sober and alert.
"Then they will stop thinking about joining forces."
"What are you going to do?" Uncle Huo's eyes moved, and his gaze towards Nuan became a little more serious.
"Mr. Jin is coming." Xiang Nuan smiled.
Uncle Huo was silent for a moment, and did not ask her what her plans were, but said firmly: "I will follow you for the next two days."
Xiang Nuan pursed her lips and shook her head, "You should stay with Yun Hui for the next two days. After all, his brain has just recovered and he's not very sharp. If he's being targeted by someone...tsk tsk tsk..."
Looking at her naughty look, Uncle Huo smiled helplessly.
"Be extremely careful."
"It's okay, Jin Nuoyi will never take risks." She patted his shoulder to reassure him and went back to her room to change clothes.
"By the way, this..." Uncle Huo's face suddenly changed to a smile, and he took out a small gift box from behind him like a magic trick, "This is a small gift for you. I wanted to give it to you after the show ended yesterday. Congratulations to your wife."
Xiang Nuan was stunned for a moment and didn't react.
"Congratulations on what?"
"everything."
Xiang Nuan smiled. What kind of answer was that? She opened the gift box and found a pearl necklace inside.
"This is what my love left behind."
Lover?! Xiang Nuan's eyes widened, not knowing whether to be surprised by the news or by such an expensive gift.
"Oh, I can't… this means too much."
"Just like you mean as much to me," Uncle Huo smiled. He took out the necklace and gestured, then put it on Xiang Nuan himself. "I don't think she would want her love to be locked in a box."
"Uncle Huo...thank you!" Xiang Nuan was so moved that she didn't know what to say and hugged him.
"I wish you happiness, ma'am."
"I am the happiest when I am with you."
Xiang Nuan's eyes were filled with tears and she giggled. She ran to the mirror in the living room and looked at herself carefully, as if she was wearing a dress and turned into a beautiful white swan.
"Tell me about your lover." Xiang Nuan smiled sweetly.
"I'll definitely do it when I have the chance in the future." Uncle Huo raised his chin. Elena had already come downstairs.
"Are you going to go out wearing this?" Elena teased her with a smile.
"I'm not going to get dressed, this is enough."
Xiang Nuan deliberately stretched her neck for Elena to see.
"Oh..." Elena took two steps back, as if imagining her graceful figure, "That's absolutely stunning. I agree, take it off quickly and let's go."
Xiang Nuan laughed and punched her on the shoulder, then ran upstairs to change clothes.
