As soon as Nan Qing heard that she would have something to eat at night, she immediately cooked two bowls of porridge. She didn't want to suffer from starvation in the afternoon.
The assistant kept trying to persuade her to put down the dishes and chopsticks so that the weight she had finally lost would not gain again.
My manager has already told me that I must not put on a pound of fat before I go on a variety show.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony is obviously a very simple thing, but perhaps a wealthy family likes to make it a little more grand. Not only celebrities and people from all walks of life were invited to the scene, but many reporters were also present.
Nancy Tang has been in the limelight recently. She also stood in the ribbon-cutting team, and someone brought scissors on a tray.
The store manager said something, but Nan Qing was distracted the whole time and didn't listen carefully. When it came time to cut the cloth, Nan Qing slowly cut with the scissors.
Her scissors were a bit dull, so it was very difficult to pick them up, and she couldn't keep cutting the last bit.
Jiang Qi beside him wanted to help: "Sister, I'll help..."
"Stab it."
Nan Qing tore off the hanging strip of cloth with her hands, then raised her head elegantly and smiled at the reporters taking pictures in front of her. She elegantly put the scissors back into the tray.
Jiang Qi: "..."
The ribbon-cutting is over, it's time for the business leaders to talk about business, and the banquet will start in the evening.
The few hours in between are a good time for strategy.
"Brother, the banquet won't start until tonight. Do you have any plans in the next few hours?"
She was wearing a long tube top dress, and some glitter was applied to her shoulders. Her shoulders were small, round, fair and shimmering, making her look delicate from top to bottom.
Jiang Qi was wearing a black suit and a bow tie.
"Sister, will you be bored?"
"Not really. In fact, being bored is good because you can rest."
"There is a dessert shop nearby. The desserts in the shop are very famous. Are you interested in eating with me?" Jiang Qi invited.
"OK."
What I was waiting for was his words.
If her brother didn't make any arrangements, she would arrange other activities.
Anyway, Nan Qing has made up his mind to stay with him for these few hours.
Nan Qing took off her long skirt and changed into very loose clothes. There was a hood in the clothes, and she put the hat on.
The assistant looked very distressed. It took more than half an hour to do the hair.
"Sister Nancy, you can't go out with... other people casually. If you are photographed and any photos are published on the news, it will be over."
The assistant was very worried. When she left for City A, her manager had asked her to keep an eye on Nancy Diantang.
Nancy Tang is going out for dessert with someone else, and this someone is male and also a public figure. If this is photographed, it will definitely become a hot search.
There have been enough hot searches recently, and if you go on hot searches again, you will probably get scolded badly again.
Before Nan Qing could speak, Jiang Qi spoke: "That dessert shop is very confidential. I know that many people in the industry have eaten there, but they have never been photographed."
Assistant: "This..."
"Oh, don't worry, I will never let anyone take a picture of me."
The assistant compromised and said, "Sister Nancy, you can't eat too many desserts. Don't forget that Sister Liu said you must not gain a pound of fat before you go on a variety show."
"I know, I know."
"Sister Nancy, you must come back an hour before the banquet starts. You need to change your clothes, do your hair, and touch up your makeup." You must not be photographed ugly by reporters.
"Yeah, yeah, I'll be back in time."
Nan Qing and Jiang Qi went out, and the assistant was waiting at the hotel.
It is true that Jiang Qi said that the dessert shop is very confidential, and it is also true that many people in the industry go to that dessert shop.
Because they met Mu Wan in the store.
As expected, you can meet the heroines of the world wherever you go.
There is a man beside Mu Wan, a mixed-race man. He looks handsome and looks like an elegant person.
Er Er: "This man is also one of the male supporting characters. The owner of this dessert shop, don't worry about him. The only one we want to conquer and change our destiny is the male supporting character Jiang Qi."
The owner of the dessert shop personally received Mu Wan, and she looked like a heroine.
Mu Wan was surprised to see Nan Qing: "Nancy, I didn't expect to meet you in City C."
Mu Wan knew from the overly delicate makeup on her face that she might be working nearby and took time out to come here.
Nan Qing: "This dessert shop is very famous. I came here because of its reputation. I didn't expect to meet Sister Mu Wan here."
Jiang Qi watched the two of them being polite.
He doesn't like Mu Wan.
Because Mu Wan and Tang Nanqian were too close to each other during the last commercial shoot, like a couple, Jiang Qi still remembers it now.
Jiang Qi: "Sister, let's go in and find a seat."
"OK."
Mu Wan immediately followed: "I feel quite lonely coming here to have dessert alone. Nancy, it's rare that we meet. Can I share a table with you?"
Jiang Qi turned around and said, "It may not be convenient. My sister promised to spend time with me today."
"?" When did she agree?
Mu Wan's expression changed: "You, you are..."
"Jiang Qi is joking with you. We are good friends, and we are also siblings." She smiled and smoothed things over, letting the atmosphere gradually relax.
But Jiang Qi's expression turned gloomy.
Good friends, siblings.
No, this is not the relationship he wants.
Is it because he is younger than her that she does not regard him as a man or a mating partner?
He's only three years younger, so the difference isn't that big.
Also, he is taller than her, and she is pretty and younger, so there is no sense of age gap between the two of them when they stand together.
Jiang Qi traced the tip of his tongue across the roof of his mouth and tried hard to suppress the thoughts in his heart.
Mu Wan glanced at Jiang Qi and found a reason to leave.
Jiang Qi and Nan Qing chose an excellent location and ordered a few of the store's signature desserts.
Jiang Qi kept his head down as he ate and said nothing.
"What's wrong? You were quite happy when you entered the store. Why don't you talk now? You look like you are sulking."
He was just sulking.
"Tang Nanqian, please don't treat me as your younger brother, okay?" Jiang Qi raised his head and met hers with his brown eyes.
The delicate person opposite who was eating ice cream was slightly stunned. With a smile on her face, she asked, "Didn't you always call me sister? Why did you suddenly change your name? It's so scary."
He called her a scary name? Jiang Qi's face turned dark.
"I called you your name because I don't want to be your brother anymore. I won't call you sister anymore."
"Did I make you angry? Why don't you want to be my brother?" The smile on her face faded and she asked in a serious manner.
"If you don't want to be a younger brother, you just don't want to be a younger brother. There are so many reasons why."
Jiang Qi held the spoon in his hand and gently poked the ice cream in front of him.
Nan Qing put down her spoon, took a sip of water and said with a polite attitude: "Wasn't it good before? Jiang Qi, if I did something bad or said something wrong that made you unhappy, just tell me. .”
Jiang Qi saw her reflecting on whether she had done something wrong or said something wrong.
It was true that she said the wrong thing. She shouldn't have called him brother, he didn't like it.
But, but...it seems that normal people will call each other brother when they hear that the other person is a few years younger than themselves.
Jiang Qi felt disturbed.
"I'm done eating."
"But you haven't had a few bites yet." Nan Qing looked at the ice cream in front of him that was stirred with a spoon, and smiled helplessly: "Jiang Qi, you are over eighteen years old, why are you still playing with the spoon? Woolen cloth."
This doting tone, which was clearly the tone of an elder towards a junior, immediately set Jiang Qi on fire.
"I paid for it, so I can play however I want." His tone was a bit stubborn.
"Yes, yes, but don't waste food if you can avoid it."
"I didn't waste food."
Jiang Qi took a big mouthful of the ice cream with a spoon as if he was angry. Nan Qing's teeth felt frozen just looking at it.
"I'm done eating, I'm going back first."
Jiang Qi hated himself just now, completely destroying the well-behaved image he had created in front of her.
But he couldn't control himself.
Jiang Qi just wanted to leave quickly, because if he stayed here and said the wrong thing or did something that damaged his image, it would be irreversible.
Jiang Qi got up and left.
Nan Qing watched his back until he left the store.
"You are so angry that you run away. You clearly know that he doesn't like you calling him brother, but you still call him brother on purpose," Er Er said.
Strategy.
Nan Qing lowered her head and slowly ate her dessert. She didn't say a word and didn't know what she was thinking.
After slowly finishing all the desserts, Nan Qing wiped his mouth and said to Er Er: "This dessert is very delicious. Er Er, do you want to pack one for you to take home?"
Er Er hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "Is it sweet?"
"It's not very sweet for you, but you can ask the chef to sweeten it."
"Okay then, order me another one based on what you just ate."
Nan Qing got up and went to pay, but found that Jiang Qi had already paid.
I was so angry that I didn't even forget to pay.
Nan Qing ordered Er Er's food and was about to leave when he was stopped by a familiar voice. It was Mu Wan.
Mu Wan: "Nancy, can I invite you to sit at my table?"
"It still doesn't work, I have to go back to work."
"Nancy, why are you avoiding me?" Mu Wan asked the doubts in her heart: "You are avoiding me on purpose, even when you were filming the commercial yesterday. Did I make you feel uncomfortable?"
"No, how can someone with such a good temper and good looks like Sister Mu Wan make people uncomfortable? I really have a job."
