When Liu Xiaoyun was talking to Yan Qing, he lowered his head to look at his phone several times. Even if Yan Qing was a thick-skinned person, he could tell that Liu Xiaoyun seemed to be thinking about something.
So after the waiter brought all the dishes, he waited until there were only two of them left in the private room before asking.
"I noticed you were looking down at your phone just now. Is there something urgent? If it's really not possible, go deal with it first. Don't delay you!"
Yan Qing felt a little embarrassed. Liu Xiaoyun was a very busy man. He should solve the problems he had caused by himself. Why should he be dragged into this?
Yan Qing clasped his hands slowly under the table, his eyes a little vague.
"It's okay, it's just a call from the agent. Let's continue with our conversation and ignore him."
Liu Xiaoyun put his cell phone in his trouser pocket and considerately picked up some food for Yan Qing.
"Agent? Then they must have something important to talk to you about. Why don't you take it? Don't delay me!"
When Yan Qing heard this, his already guilty heart became even more intense.
"It's just a drama. My agent wants to sign me, but my schedule is pretty full lately. I don't plan on taking on anything new in the near future."
Liu Xiaoyun spoke with a normal expression, not knowing that his agent in the company yawned for no reason.
"Is someone saying something bad about me?"
The agent straightened his clothes and looked around suspiciously.
"You've caught a cold! They say the temperature's dropping these days, so they told you to wear more clothes. You're not like Brother Xiao who needs to be on camera, so just be okay. There's no need to go for that frozen beauty look!"
The agent gave the man a slap on the face and said something in a way that was trying to cover up something.
"What do you know?! I'm just following the fashion! In our line of work, sometimes not only do we have to keep our artists up to date with fashion, but we ourselves can't fall behind. Otherwise, when you go out to negotiate a deal, people will see you're dressed in such a shabby way that they won't even bother to understand your artists and will simply pass you over!"
When the agent was speaking, he didn't dare to look into the man's eyes. His eyes looked around and kept drifting.
"Alright, alright! I can't argue with you anyway, you're always right!"
"I'm right! And what are you doing here? Why don't you go and prepare Xiao Yun's next schedule for me? What are you standing here for? Hurry up and get busy!"
As he said that, the agent kicked the man in the butt, then quickened his pace towards Liu Xiaoyun's office.
Turning his attention back to Liu Xiaoyun and Yan Qing, Yan Qing still felt guilty for delaying Liu Xiaoyun's affairs. When he heard that Liu Xiaoyun was not planning to take on any new dramas recently, and that his recent works were just advertising endorsements, Yan Qing felt that he probably wouldn't be able to watch TV in the future.
"Is that so? I was thinking of going there right away to join in the fun as soon as Teacher Liu released a new play, but it looks like I'll have to wait a while!"
Yan Qing said this with a sad face, thinking that he should not watch Liu Xiaoyun's drama for the time being. He could rewatch it when he has some free time in a few days and runs out of dramas to watch.
"If you want to invest in something that requires a male lead, I can consider it."
Liu Xiaoyun smiled and poured a glass of water for Yan Qing. When he put down the cup, he rubbed the back of Yan Qing's hand, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Yan Qing's body suddenly stiffened, and he reluctantly withdrew his hand and placed it under the table.
Yan Qing lowered his head when he withdrew his hand, and did not notice the flash of disappointment in Liu Xiaoyun's eyes.
"I've been busy with my dad's company recently, and I don't plan to invest in anything recently."
The two of them talked about all sorts of things for a long time. Yan Qing secretly glanced at the time. It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon. Before leaving, the assistant reminded him that there was a meeting to be held at two o'clock in the afternoon.
"By the way," Yan Qing drank a cup of tea. Seeing that the atmosphere was almost right and that he had limited time to come out, he decided to get straight to the point.
"I asked you out this time because I have something to tell you."
Yan Qing paused as he spoke, his expression a little unnatural.
Liu Xiaoyun stopped as he was about to pick up some food for Yan Qing, and looked like he was listening attentively, but only he knew that the palms of his hands holding the chopsticks were covered in sweat.
"What can you think of?"
"Um...it's about those things online. Didn't you say you sent me flowers a few days ago? Actually, they were sent by a friend of mine. I didn't expect it to cause such a big misunderstanding. I'm sorry!"
Yan Qing felt a little embarrassed, as it was clearly a matter between her and Huo Beiting.
It doesn't matter what the two of them do, but when it involves other people, Yan Qing always feels a little uncomfortable.
Liu Xiaoyun restrained his expression slightly, and his originally gentle temperament changed twice, but all these changes happened too quickly, and Yan Qing, who was immersed in his own thoughts, did not notice.
"I should be the one apologizing to you. It was clearly me who acted on my own initiative. I originally wanted to get you out of those online troubles as soon as possible, but I didn't expect it to backfire. Look at what happened!"
As he spoke, Liu Xiaoyun slapped his head in annoyance, with the corners of his mouth slightly drooping, as if he was full of apology.
"I've been busy filming recently, and I've said before that I want to wait for things to pass, until the heat has died down before talking about breaking up. Otherwise, if we suddenly get together and then break up, it will seem like a joke, which is not good."
Yan Qing nodded in agreement, "I understand, but... I have some problems here, so I hope you can see if you can speed up the progress. Otherwise, it will be a bit difficult for me to handle it."
Yan Qing was a little reserved, and even spoke in an unconscious manner with a tone of negotiation.
"What's going on? Did you get a boyfriend?"
Liu Xiaoyun deliberately changed the subject. One reason was to avoid the topic and let Yan Qing forget about the "breakup", and the other was to find out if she had someone she liked.
"This... can't be explained in a few words. I don't really know what I'm thinking, but since breaking up is inevitable, and I might have some problems later, I hope to speed up the process. Of course, if it's not convenient for you, then just ignore me."
Yan Qing thought of the jealous guy at home. He must have seen what happened on the Internet, but he just kept it to himself and didn't say anything.
She also noticed his worries during this period. Although she had not figured out her thoughts yet, she believed that the breakup must be resolved as soon as possible.
"Well, I've been busy filming lately. How about this? Once my scenes take a break, I'll slowly reveal this story online. What do you think?"
“Thank you so much!”
Yan Qing's expression instantly brightened.
However, Liu Xiaoyun's heart was filled with bitterness. What was the point of defeating the man from the Huo family? In the end, he still lost to that unknown person.
