Chapter 35

The cell phone suddenly rang.

Chen Yanshi was a little annoyed. He really didn’t want to answer it this time, so he just ignored it. But the phone kept ringing over and over again, so he finally picked it up.

This time he didn’t let go. He pulled Xiang Nuan to sit on the sofa, put her in his arms, held the phone in one hand, and asked impatiently, “What’s the matter?”

On the other end of the phone, Special Assistant Lin swallowed his saliva and then spoke: “The Hongrui City project has been confirmed to start. President Ye asked if we should start now?”

The lust in Chen Yanshi’s eyes dissipated a little, but his hostility remained the same: “It’s time to start. It’s taken so long, it’s time to close the net.”

“I’m afraid if things get out of hand, it will be hard to explain to the old man…”

He raised his lips and smiled coldly: “I’m just worried that the noise won’t be big enough.”

Otherwise, did the Shen family really think that he was working for free? Could they just take away his project?

It also depends on whether you have the ability and can afford it.

“Okay, I’ll notify Mr. Ye now.”

Chen Yanshi hung up the phone and looked down at Xiang Nuan in his arms, only to find that she had fallen asleep in his arms.

He pinched her face: “You can fall asleep like this? Did you do this on purpose?”

But Xiang Nuan’s breathing was even now, and it was obvious that she was fast asleep.

He heard that she had a very hard time filming this drama, with action scenes almost every day, and she couldn’t use a body double. She must be really exhausted.

He sighed softly, but didn’t wake her up. He picked her up and carried her to the bedroom.

I went to the bathroom and took another shower.

When Xiang Nuan woke up in the morning, Chen Yanshi was already up. She had never seen him sleep in. This man who was always meticulous was so self-disciplined that it was terrifying.

“woke up?”

Xiang Nuan got up sleepily, rubbing her eyes but unable to open them: “Why haven’t you left yet?”

“I’m leaving.” Shen Yanshi put on his suit jacket and picked a tie in the cloakroom.

“Oh.” Xiang Nuan opened the bathroom door and went in to wash up.

He suddenly called her: “Come here.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Tie me a tie.”

Xiang Nuan curled her lips, really good at ordering people around.

She took the tie and tied it for him. He looked down at her angry but unable to speak, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he felt much better.

“Yesterday I met with Gong Nian’s divorce lawyer to discuss her divorce case.” He suddenly spoke.

Xiang Nuan was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he was saying this to her?

“Her divorce case went to court today, and she met with her lawyer yesterday to confirm the details.”

“Oh.” She wasn’t very interested either.

“Gong Nian and I grew up together. As a friend, I will help her with this matter.”

Xiang Nuan paused while pulling at his tie, then continued to nod: “Got it.”

There was really no need for him to explain all this to her in an attempt to cover up the truth. Was he afraid that she would go out and spread rumors about him and Gong Nian?

She adjusted his tie, raised her eyes and smiled at him: “It’s tied.”

“I’m leaving.” Shen Yanshi ruffled her messy hair, opened the door and went out.

Xiang Nuan let out a breath and quickly went into the bathroom to wash up.

Today’s business event is a skincare brand’s booth in a large shopping mall.

Xiang Nuan is very popular now and the event was promoted in advance, so there were a lot of people coming to watch, almost filling up the mall.

The host introduced enthusiastically: “Next, please welcome our spokesperson Xiang Nuan!”

The whole audience was cheering because Xiang Nuan had been hiding in the mountains for a month and her fans missed her very much.

Xiang Nuan wore a white tube top dress that was short in front and long in the back to promote her skincare products. The back of the dress was made of white gauze, and she walked as lightly as an elf. Her long hair was slightly curled, making her look gentle.

“Ahhh my wife is so beautiful!”

“Xiang Nuan, why are you so beautiful!”

“Xia Zehua’s wife is so beautiful!”

Xiang Nuan picked up the microphone and greeted everyone with a smile: “Thank you all for coming to the scene. I am Xiang Nuan.”

The host said in surprise: “Wow, there are so many fans here today to support Nuan Nuan. Come cheer for us and let’s see everyone’s enthusiasm!”

The whole audience raised their hands and cheered and screamed. Xiang Nuan also raised her hands and turned around to greet everyone upstairs and downstairs.

And just as she turned to the right, a familiar figure suddenly caught her eye, and the smile on her lips froze slightly.

He stood behind the crowd, smiling warmly, just like he did back then.
