Chapter 36

The host smiled and raised his hand to calm them down: “Alright! Our Nuannuan has already felt everyone’s enthusiasm. It seems that Nuannuan has been filming in the mountains for a month and has not appeared for a long time. Fans and friends miss Nuannuan very much.”

Everyone shouted: “Yes!”

“Then we will give everyone some time to interact. Let’s invite some lucky fans to have a conversation with Nuannuan, okay?”

The host first called on a fan who raised his hand very enthusiastically: “Dear fan, what do you want to say to Nuan Nuan?”

This is a sunflower, holding the microphone and shouting excitedly: “Nuannuan, how do you always look so beautiful!”

The whole audience burst into laughter. Xiang Nuan smiled and said, “You should ask my makeup artist. She always dresses me up very seriously. But I may not look that good in this drama. I am covered in dirt and rolling in the mud every day.”

“It doesn’t matter, we love you no matter what!”

“Thanks!”

The host smiled and said, “Okay, let’s invite the next person.”

The host called out to someone who was very close, and when the microphone was handed to that person, she suddenly asked loudly, “Young Master Shen is getting engaged, Nuan Nuan, will you be sad if you can’t marry into a wealthy family?”

Xiang Nuan’s face froze, and the group of people centered around her began to grab the microphone and shout, “Have you been dumped by the Shen family’s prince? How much was the breakup fee?”

“You went to great lengths to find paparazzi to take pictures of you, trying to force your way to the throne, but you didn’t expect that a month later, news broke that Third Master Shen was going to get engaged to someone else. Did this incident anger the Shen family?”

Zheng Xuanlin rushed over at the speed of light, hugged Xiang Nuan and blocked these people: “Sorry, someone is attacking maliciously, we have to leave temporarily!”

They were about to leave the stage, but this group of people were obviously prepared. They blocked their way and pushed hard towards Nuan: “Why don’t you say something? Are you feeling guilty?”

The scene was suddenly in chaos, with all kinds of pushing and shoving, and someone even grabbed Xiang Nuan’s arm, preventing her from moving forward or backward.

Zheng Xuanlin roared: “Bodyguard! Where is the bodyguard!”

A figure pushed through the crowd and rushed in, pulling away the person who was holding Xiang Nuan’s arm, then protected her and retreated from behind.

The bodyguards also quickly came over to provide cover, separating the crowd and allowing Xiang Nuan to leave. At the same time, they also had to maintain order at the scene to avoid a stampede.

Xiang Nuan finally fled out of the crowded and chaotic shopping mall in embarrassment. She lowered her head and looked at the hand that was tightly holding her wrist, and was reluctant to look up.

“Are you okay?”

“Nuan Nuan.”

Xiang Nuan calmed down, raised her head as respectfully as possible, and looked at him: “I’m fine.”

“Long time no see, Qin An.”

Qin An pulled the corner of his lips: “Long time no see.”

She moved her wrist, and he belatedly let go of her hand.

Amy ran out and put a shawl on Xiang Nuan: “Sister Nuan, are you okay? Sister Xuanlin said we should go back first and she will take care of this.”

Xiang Nuan nodded and said to Qin An, “Thank you for today. I, I have something to do and I’ll leave first.”

Qin An nodded stiffly: “Okay…”

Xiang Nuan pulled Amy away.

Qin An stood there, looking at her departing back with some worry, but did not follow her.

He knew that she definitely didn’t want to be seen in such a miserable state. After seven years of separation, she hadn’t changed at all.

Amy drove the car and comforted Xiang Nuan at the same time: “Those people were obviously instructed by someone. They are not fans at all, nor are they ordinary passers-by. It must be one of the rivals who deliberately caused trouble!”

She glanced at Xiang Nuan in the rearview mirror. Xiang Nuan’s expression remained normal, except that her face was a little pale.

“Sister Xuanlin said she would never let these people go. She has already called the police. This is a malicious provocation. Sister Nuan, don’t worry about it.”

Xiang Nuan pulled the corner of her lips: “Yeah.”

“Sister Nuan, are you going back to Nanchun Bay?”

“Let’s go to the hotel.”

“Then I’ll accompany you…”

“No, I want to rest for a while.”

Arriving at the hotel, Xiang Nuan locked herself in the room. All the strength in her body was drained out. She sat on the floor leaning against the door and hugged her head with her hands.

She didn’t expect to see Qin An again, the person who had been forgotten in her memory.

She never expected that when she saw him again after seven years, she was still so miserable, as if she had lived a joke despite trying her best in the past seven years.
