The next morning, Qiao Yu woke up to find dark circles under Xia Ning's eyes. He recalled how voracious he had been and felt apologetic.

 His call didn't go through in the morning and she hung up on him in the evening. If she didn't happen to walk in at that moment, he didn't know what he would do.

 He thought he wouldn't be affected, but in the end, he still followed his instinct.

 “Go back to bed.” Qiao Yu whispered when he saw Xia Ning waking up.

 Xia Ning raised a hand to s.h.i.+eld her eyes from the strong light and her voice cracked a little when she said, “I have work to do today.”

 “What work?” Qiao Yu said without hesitation. “Can't it wait?”

 Xia Ning shook her head. “Shengs.h.i.+ Weiyang” will be aired soon and I have publicity events to go to. I'll be busy for the next few days.”

 “Aren't there other actors on the show?” Qiao Yu frowned.

 Moving her hand away from her face, Xia Ning smiled at Qiao Yu. “The leading actor has a bad reputation and if the leading actress doesn't show up, your investment in this show is going down the drain.”

 “Whatever,” said Qiao Yu indifferently. The economic loss would be nothing compared to her, not to mention that he had no expectation with the money he had invested. All he wanted was a chance to get close to her.

 “But Director Li has put in everything in the show.” Sitting up, Xia Ning said as she put on her nightgown. “The crew has been slandered repeatedly because of me and if I'm the reason that it gets terrible viewing rates, I won't be able to forgive myself.” After that, she got out of bed and headed for the bathroom.”

 Qiao Yu frowned but didn't retort. She had always been clearcut like this, which he appreciated, but he didn't want her to work too hard.

 Before long, Xia Ning came out of the bathroom, all dressed up, and said to Qiao Yu, “I'll be back late tonight.”

 “I'll go pick you up,” said Qiao Yu.

 Xia Ning wanted to say no, but she didn't want him to get the wrong ideas again, so she nodded. “Alright.”

 Xia Ning didn't see Enoch downstairs. The servant told her that Gao Wanhua had taken him out for a walk. Xia Ning then left without having breakfast.

 Zheng Ziming had come to pick her up near the Qiao house as agreed and Xia Ning spotted his car a few hundred meters outside the house.

 She got into the pa.s.senger's seat and Zheng Ziming said with a frown. “You live in the middle of nowhere. It took me forever to find this place. It's deserted.”

 Xia Ning fastened her seat belt, then turned to look at him. “This is still downtown and you call it deserted? I'll never have you pick me up from my place then. It's in the suburbs.”

 Zheng Ziming snorted. “So you like living here.”

 “There, there, don't be a baby.” Xia Ning knew what this was about and she didn't want to argue with him. She darted a look at the back seat. “Where's Wen Jing?”

 “Forget about that stupid girl.” Zheng Ziming said grumpily. “I'm going with you. You don't need anyone else.”

 Xia Ning glanced at him. Judging by the temperament of the two of them, she would see a lot of drama in the company these days.

 “Good. Let's go.”

 The press conference was held in a five-star hotel and the room was already crowded when Xia Ning and Zheng Ziming arrived. The conference hadn't started yet and the reporters were chatting casually with the crew.

 Someone called out when Xia Ning entered the room. “Xia Ning's here.” People immediately gathered around.

 A reporter dropped his conversation with Fu Yao abruptly and headed toward the entrance. Fu Yao turned around and saw who it was. A look of resentment flickered in her eyes.
