Chapter 216 - Mr. Nian is sure a petty man, but it also goes to show that he cares about you
“I apologize to all of you on behalf of my boyfriend, he’s in a bad mood recently. Let’s get on with the rehearsals, let’s not waste any more time,” Luosang said sincerely.
“Who’s wasting precious time here?” Shui Chang pouted.
“Enough,” Luosang gave her a look, “You were the first to stumble with your lines just now, even before my boyfriend barged in here.”
“He scared me when I saw him standing by the window.”
“What are you babbling about, did he glare at you or did he speak to you? He didn’t even take a second look at you, don’t blame him for your lack of focus. If you really dislike receiving orders from me, I can go tell Professor Li to put you in charge instead,” Luosang said dismissively. Shui Chang looked away in shame and kept quiet.
“Let’s continue then.”
…
At eleven o’clock, Yan Su was back from her part-time job and Luosang was sitting on her bed reading a book. She chuckled quietly and whispered to Luosang, “You should be in a good mood today, you got to see Mr. Nian tonight.”
Luosang put down her book and said, “You were the one who told him where to find me?”
“Yeah, he caught me when I was heading out. He said that you weren’t picking up his calls and I told him to try his luck at the dance studio, why?”
“No wonder he found his way there,” Luosang forced a smile, “He saw me acting with Yuan Zichu and it was a more intimate scene. We fought about that.”
“What’s there to fight about? Mr. Nian is sure a petty man, but it also goes to show that he cares about you. Don’t worry about it, it’ll blow over in a couple of days,” Yan Su smiled and grabbed her clothes for a quick shower. She was exhausted from singing all night long.
…
Sunday, Ye Chuen’s birthday.
After their second class in the morning, Luosang and Tang Ning emerged from their classroom and Chi Shengxu was leaning against the banister outside their class. He was wearing an embroidered jacket with light-washed jeans, his hands in his pockets, he adjusted his posture when he caught sight of them, “Sansan, are you guys heading to Chuen’s birthday? Let’s head there together, I can drive and you can navigate.”
Luosang thought about Nian Junting’s jealous expression, “We have to go back to our room to put on makeup, it’ll take us another forty-five minutes.”
“It’s ok, I can wait for you guys, I don’t want to go there alone, I’m not very familiar with the crowd,” Chi Shengxu said with a shrug.
“Ok ok, we’ll make haste,” Tang Ning said quickly, “I know the way to her place.”
“Great! I’ll be in the car,” Chi Shengxu gave them a bright warm smile.
Luosang kept her objections to herself until he left them, “Why did you agree to him? Chuen might get jealous if she finds out,” she said to Tang Ning.
“She’s not so petty, and she did tell us to get a ride from any classmates who were driving. Her villa is so out of the way, it’ll be too inconvenient for the three of us to find our own way there.”
Luosang had no other excuse she could come up with, she met up with Yan Su and the three of them got ready in their room and headed to the party with Chi Shengxu.
The four of them arrived at the villa without any hiccups along the way. The villa was situated in a luxury estate newly developed two years ago. The building occupied a space about 2000m2, the environment was peaceful and quiet and dotted with greenery and a large pool.
The four of them had arrived early and the decoration in the backyard wasn’t completely ready yet, staff members were still fumbling to set up a platform in the middle of the pool.
Ye Chuen had dressed up lavishly, she was wearing a regal straight neckline gown, showing off her defined collarbones. A glittery Tiffany and Co. diamond necklace adorned her beautiful neck, she looked like a princess.
