Chapter 314 Picking her up from the bar
【What did you say? Come with me?】Even though the other person sent Chinese characters, Anjing felt like she didn't recognize a single one.
Yes, is there a problem?
This is a huge problem!
Putting aside how eerie it would be for Leng Yanluo to stand in a shopping mall with his aura of keeping strangers at bay, the two of them weren't even close enough to go shopping for clothes together, were they?
The quiet man, now fully sober, took a deep breath and replied, "It's just buying a piece of clothing, there's no need for you to go to such lengths, is there?"
The other end quickly replied: "Miss An, do you know my size?"
Anjing: [...Mr. Luo, just tell me your size.]
What about the style?
"Why not just buy the exact same one?!" Annie was exasperated.
This garment is custom-made, not for sale, and is one of a kind.
"How about... you recommend the designer to me, and I'll get him to make one?"
After a moment of silence, Leng Yanluo replied: "Miss An, are you unwilling to pay for the clothes?"
Quietly, she silently muttered to herself: "So fussy!"
Helplessly, I sent a fist-and-palm emoji: [I give up!]
【I'll take that as Ms. An agreeing. The mall usually opens at 8 AM. Send me your location, and I'll come pick you up.】
Anjing glanced at her phone and saw that it was almost six o'clock.
Her small detached house was in a somewhat remote location, and it was too late to get home, so she compromised: "I'm in Houhai, you don't need to pick me up. Let's meet at the SKP entrance at eight o'clock."
An Jing thought the matter was settled, but then Leng Yanluo replied: "Miss An, you have quite the nightlife. You don't have time to repair the clothes, but you do have time to go to bars."
Quiet:? ? ?
What's it to you!
She hung up the phone immediately and didn't reply.
Before returning to the private room, she looked in the mirror. Although she had stayed up all night, she was in good spirits. Her skin was firm and smooth, except for some dark circles under her eyes, which she could cover up with concealer later.
She thought to herself that she was naturally beautiful, then turned and walked away happily.
In the private room, most of the friends who had been hanging out with me last night had already left.
Only a few who can hold out are still playing dice and drinking contests.
Anjing sat back down in her booth, and a young boy next to her leaned over and asked, "Ms. An, wanna play another round?"
This young man has fair skin and a cute appearance; he's a newly signed heartthrob at Anjing Company.
He graduated from a proper drama academy and had over three million followers on social media before joining the company, making him a minor internet celebrity.
The operations manager saw that he had a good temperament and a fan base. Coincidentally, they needed a fourth male lead for a drama they had recently invested in, so they contacted him. He readily agreed, and within a week, he and his contract were brought to the company.
He came out tonight on his own after hearing about it, and as soon as he arrived, he went to stay close to An Jing.
During the conversation, someone jokingly asked Meng Ke if he wanted to throw himself at President An. An Jing glared at the person.
Meng Ke lowered his head and said half-jokingly, "That depends on whether President An will take a liking to me."
Everyone joined in the commotion, and Anjing almost spat out her cocktail.
She had no idea that young boys these days were so enthusiastic; even someone as thick-skinned as her almost couldn't handle it.
At this moment, seeing the little boy move closer to her again, she quietly coughed and refused, saying, "I'm not playing anymore, you guys play."
Meng Ke noticed her movement and looked rather hurt: "President An, this is a bit disheartening. You may not know, but Jiachuang Pictures offered me four times the salary of Guangying Pictures to play the second male lead in their new film, and I didn't go."
Anjing paused for a moment, then pretended not to understand and said, "Ah, are you stupid? If there's such a good thing, why don't you go?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Ke felt even more aggrieved. He pouted and looked at An Jing with eyes full of resentment.
Anjing stared at him, then patted his shoulder: "Are you worried about the breach of contract fee? Don't worry, Guangying will never restrict any artist from having better development. You can leave anytime you want~"
The young man sighed helplessly and whispered, "President An, don't you understand? I came to Guangying specifically for you."
"Three years ago, you gave a speech at our drama academy. I was deeply attracted by your confidence and poise. It was because of you that I firmly embarked on the path of film and television. President An, I came to Guangying just to stand by your side and tell you that I like you. I have liked you for many years. You are really... super super charming!"
As Meng Ke spoke, he moved a few steps closer to An Jing.
Anjing took a step back in fright: "Little kid, stop! Don't love me, it won't work out, unless you make more money than me! I'm really not interested in girls younger than me."
Anjing glanced at the time: "It's getting late, I have to go. You guys keep having fun, put all the drinks on my tab."
Seeing this, Meng Ke quickly stood up and said, "President An, let me call you a car."
Anjing raised an eyebrow: "No need."
Meng Ke insisted, "President An, don't be so polite, I've already called them."
Quiet:? ? ?
Meng Ke scratched his head dramatically: "President An, the car is here, so don't refuse. Let's go, I'll see you out."
"No, no, no, please cancel the order. Goodbye!"
Anjing walked out quietly with her bag slung over her shoulder, but Meng Ke followed closely behind.
It was already broad daylight outside.
The bar was dimly lit, and An Jing was caught off guard when the sun shone on her. She was momentarily distracted and didn't notice a step under her feet, nearly falling.
Meng Ke, who caught up from behind, quickly helped her up: "President An, are you alright?"
Anjing was about to shake off his hand when she felt a chilling coldness in her face.
She was slightly taken aback, and when she looked up, she was met with a cold, sinister mask.
The mask covered most of Leng Yanluo's face, only his eyes revealed a cold, eerie light. He spoke in an icy tone: "These young people nowadays are quite troublesome, throwing themselves at anyone they see."
Meng Ke was startled by Leng Yanluo's appearance and subconsciously took a step back: "W-who are you?"
Wearing a mask in broad daylight and swaggering around would be quite unsettling to anyone.
An Jing was also taken aback: "Teacher Luo, weren't we supposed to meet at the mall entrance? Why did you come here?"
Meng Ke paused for a moment, then turned to look at An Jing: "President An, you two know each other?"
As he spoke, he forced a smile and extended his hand to Leng Yanluo: "Hello, my name is Meng Ke."
Leng Yanluo glanced at him coldly, ignored him, and turned to An Jing: "Miss An, my car is over there, can we go now?"
Anjing said "Oh" and realized what was going on. She then said to Meng Ke, "Um... Meng Ke, my friend drove here, so you don't need to help me get a taxi. You can go back and continue having fun. We're leaving."
Quietly, she followed Leng Yanluo toward the parking space.
Meng Ke called out from behind, unwilling to give up, "President An, where are you and your friend going? Take me with you..."
