Chapter 10: Enemies Meet 5. Another "rival" emerges
When she was panicked by the scene in front of her , Yu Shang nudged her arm with his elbow and whispered gossiping in her ear: "What's going on? Boss An also knows Zhong Na?"
Mai Xiaoshu shook his head, indicating that he was not aware of it.
Yu Shang put his hands in his pockets and said, "Boss An is so lucky. Look at how they are together. They have a very complicated relationship!"
Mai Xiaoshu followed Yu Shang's gaze and saw Zhong Na being attracted by a cute cat. She then leaned over to whisper something in An Chengye's ear. The two smiled at each other. The intimate magnetic field that excluded outsiders made the relationship more ambiguous.
Indeed, what a perfect match...
But what about Yin Lunmei? Isn’t she An Chengye’s girlfriend?
"Okay, boss, you're just too gossipy. I'm going to help."
"How do you talk to your boss like that ?"
Mai Xiaoshu, who had just been feeling extremely happy about the arrival of his idol, suddenly felt depressed.
She thought that if she was busy she wouldn't have any random thoughts, so she took the initiative to help the staff lift the table.
When she and the staff were sweating because the table was too heavy, a pleasant voice came over: "How can you let a girl carry such a heavy thing?"
When Mai Xiaoshu looked up, he saw Zhong Na, who had changed into a flowing floral dress again. She was walking towards them slowly against the light like a fairy. As soon as she finished speaking, all the staff who had been standing around casually just now gathered around, wanting to perform in front of her.
One of the muscular men accidentally bumped into Mai Xiaoshu while competing to show off, causing her to slip and about to fall in front of everyone.
In the blink of an eye, a hand reached out to catch her and helped her stand up. She leaned in the man's arms and smelled the rich scent of pine.
She turned back with lingering fear and wanted to thank the person who came, but saw An Chengye with a cold face and looked at her coldly in his arms.
Mai Xiaoshu suddenly pulled himself out of his arms: "Thank you."
Her violent reaction stunned An Chengye for a moment. He looked at her in silence, his eyes trembling, and then walked away expressionlessly.
Only then did Mai Xiaoshu breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhong Na saw all the interactions between the two. Her expression changed slightly and she couldn't help but look at Mai Xiaoshu. She only returned to her original smile when she heard the director calling her.
While Zhong Na was filming, An Chengye stood in the corner without saying a word, his eyes never leaving Zhong Na.
This was completely different from the coldness he showed when he was with Yin Lunmei, and he would come over to supervise in person, which showed that he really cared about Zhong Na.
Mai Xiaoshu was standing not far away, with a plate of prepared snacks and coffee next to him, ready to serve to everyone as a reward after the filming was over.
In order to cater to the melancholic music style of the MV, the cafe hung light blue curtains today. Under the lights, the light blue gradually turned into a melancholic dark blue. Accompanied by the ethereal music, Mai Xiaoshu could not help but be attracted by the dreamlike scenes in front of her, especially Zhong Na in the picture. She looked so slender and frail that people could not help but want to protect her...
Who wouldn't be attracted to a girl like this?
Mai Xiaoshu involuntarily turned her gaze towards An Chengye. Surprisingly, he had also fixed his gaze on her...
Just a brief eye contact made her heart start beating wildly, and she quickly looked away. Just at this moment, the director shouted "cut", and the scene became lively again, breaking the awkwardness.
Mai Xiaoshu took a deep breath to calm himself, then brought the coffee tray to Zhong Na. Zhong Na thanked him politely, took a sip from the cup, and smiled with satisfaction: "What a surprise, your coffee is even better than Starbucks."
As she spoke, she picked up another cup and walked towards An Chengye.
"Cheng Ye, have a drink too."
An Chengye took the paper cup and looked at it, and even made a rare joke: "Madam, if it doesn't taste good, is it okay for you to treat me to Starbucks later?"
"Okay, just try it!" Zhong Na's tone naturally revealed coquettishness.
Mai Xiaoshu glanced away and stopped looking at them.
Suddenly, there was a violent coughing sound behind him, followed by An Chengye's furious voice: "You want to poison me to death!"
Everyone was stunned and turned their eyes to An Chengye.
Mai Xiaoshu also looked at An Chengye in confusion, only to see him, who had originally looked indifferent, walking towards her aggressively, with anger hidden in his expression. He lowered his voice in her ear and said, "Are you deliberately taking revenge on me?"
"Cheng Ye, do you know each other?" Zhong Na walked towards the two of them, glanced at them, and asked worriedly.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Mai Xiaoshu shook his head in panic.
"Don't know? Then drink this cup of coffee!" An Chengye said aggressively.
Mai Xiaoshu looked at him somewhat frustratedly. In order to dispel the suspicion in everyone's eyes, she picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. Then she couldn't help but frowned and started coughing .
"Crack... Why is it so sweet?" The sweetness of this cup of coffee was beyond her tolerance.
The scene just now suddenly appeared in her mind - when she went to the bar to get coffee, she found that a cat had knocked over the sugar jar and spilled sugar all over the floor. She thought the cat just messed up the bar, but she didn't expect that some of the sugar was poured into the cup of coffee.
What a coincidence that the coffee was drunk by An Chengye!
"I didn't mean it..." Mai Xiaoshu said this and then fell silent.
She couldn't possibly tell him that the cat accidentally knocked over the sugar jar!
"Nothing else to say besides this?"
Mai Xiaoshu hung his head in annoyance and said nothing.
"Why are you always so careless?" An Chengye said after a while.
yes……
If she had not been so careless and not given Yin Lunmei the opportunity to touch the computer, she would not have caused the project to be suspended;
If she had not been so careless and noticed earlier that something was wrong with Miyamaru Satoshi, they would not have been misunderstood as accomplices;
If she had not been so careless and had carefully checked the coffee after noticing that the cat had knocked over the sugar jar, she would not have been criticized by An Chengye in front of everyone.
If time could go back, she would definitely be more careful.
However, time will only flow forward and never go back.
At that moment, Mai Xiaoshu, with red eyes, had only seven words in his mind: Go away with your carelessness!
"Chengye, I just put a little more sugar, don't be angry." Zhong Na asked all the staff to disperse and handed a bottle of mineral water to An Chengye.
An Chengye's gaze fell slightly on Mai Xiaoshu's face, and seeing her red eyes, his heart was filled with waves.
He handed the water in his hand to Mai Xiaoshu, took the cup back from her hand, and said with a sigh: "No more pranks in the future."
After saying this, he placed the cup on the table and turned away.
Mai Xiaoshu stood there, at a loss as to what to do.
Zhong Na raised her head and looked at Mai Xiaoshu. Her eyes rolled and a gossipy light flashed in them.
She chased An Chengye out of the door, and when they were alone, she said to him with a smile, "You came to visit just because of this little sister?"
An Chengye turned around, looking a little uncomfortable: "Are you kidding me? This shop is mine. I came here to supervise because I was afraid that your staff would make the cafe a mess!"
"Oh, really?" Zhong Na smiled mischievously.
An Chengye was stunned for a moment.
"Whatever you think!" He turned around with an unnatural expression and drove away.
