Anning was explaining various musical instrunts to Xiao i when her communicator rang.
Anning quickly answered.
It was Cui Anlin contacting her.
"Anning, do you have ti?"
"I do." Anning obediently agreed.
Cui Anlin then said, "Then co out, I have sothing I need your help with. I’m at..."
Cui Anlin ntioned the na of a restaurant and hung up the communicator. He didn’t even ask if Anning wanted to go out or was willing to et him.
Xiao i overheard Anning’s conversation.
She frowned slightly but didn’t say anything.
Anning smiled at Xiao i: "I’m really sorry, I have to go out for a bit."
"Sister Ning, if you have sothing going on, go ahead. I’ll help you put these things away."
Xiao i smiled, stood up, and saw Anning off.
She even lent her own aircraft to Anning.
Anning got on the aircraft, waved at Xiao i, and flew towards the restaurant Cui Anlin ntioned.
The flight took about ten minutes, and Anning landed the aircraft on the roof of the restaurant, then took the elevator downstairs to enter the restaurant.
By the ti she arrived, Cui Anlin was already there.
"Over here."
Cui Anlin waved to Anning.
Anning walked over with a smile and sat down: "Brother, what’s the matter for which you called here?"
Cui Anlin laughed, "No rush, have a drink first."
He summoned a waiter and asked him to serve Anning a glass of juice.
As the juice was served, another person hurried over.
Anning glanced at the person and smiled aningfully: "Hello, Miss Fang."
It turned out the person coming over was Fang Xiaolian.
Fang Xiaolian sat down and smiled at Anning with gentleness and kindness: "Sister Ning..."
Anning raised a hand slightly: "Don’t call that, I’m younger than you."
Fang Xiaolian suppressed her inner hatred, her smile unwavering, even gentler: "I’m used to calling you that in the ga, it’s hard to change suddenly. If you don’t want to call you sister, how about Ningning?"
Anning took a sip of juice without lifting her eyelids: "There’s no need for that, we’re not familiar. You better call Miss Cui."
Fang Xiaolian’s smile almost faltered: "Miss Cui, this ti I asked An Lin to help arrange for you to co out, I want to ask you for a little favor."
While Fang Xiaolian spoke, she exchanged a look with Cui Anlin.
Cui Anlin quickly said: "Ningning, you and Xiao Lian have a pretty good relationship in the ga, you’re sort of in the sa team, and in real life, you’re both celebrities in the entertainnt industry, and should help each other out. In this world, having one more friend ans one more path, don’t you agree?"
Anning kept her head down and said nothing.
Cui Anlin was a bit upset, feeling Anning was showing no respect.
He took a deep breath to suppress his anger: "Xiao Lian has helped you a lot in the ga. Now she just wants you to do a little favor and you’re unwilling. Ningning, I’ve never realized you’re so selfish."
Anning finally looked up.
As soon as she did, one could see her eyes full of tears.
Indeed, the song played by the pianist invited by the restaurant was oddly laughable and tear-inducing, and Anning felt strange, unknowingly, her face was covered with tears.
"What kind of favor?"
She asked.
Fang Xiaolian hurriedly said: "Miss Cui, perhaps you’re not aware, but you’re very popular now, and all sorts of forums and websites on Star Network are talking about you. S Company wants to release a videoclip version of a reality show for promotion and has invited so of us to join a variety show. You know my fa isn’t as big as yours and also due to misunderstandings, my reputation faced so damage. I would like to ask you to cooperate with during the show, maybe do so intimate actions, or say so close words, to let fans know that we have a good relationship. This shouldn’t be difficult for you at all."
Fang Xiaolian spoke so smoothly, with a little movent of her lips she intended to ride on Anning’s popularity, to tie her sales fate with Anning’s, yet she talked as if it were so easy, but why should Anning help her?
What does she consider Anning?
What benefits has she given to Anning? What help has she ever offered to Anning?
None at all, yet expecting soone to support her, she really is dreaming too sweetly.
But Cui Anlin didn’t see it this way.
He thought this matter was truly easy.
He thought, with his good relationship with Fang Xiaolian, maybe Fang Xiaolian would agree to be his girlfriend in the future, possibly even marry him soday, and when that ti cos, Fang Xiaolian would be Anning’s sister-in-law, Anning would be helping the future sister-in-law, as they belong to one family, she should agree imdiately.
"Ningning, this really isn’t hard. All you need to do on the show is say a few more words to Xiao Lian, tell the audience about your good relationship outside the show. That’s all. You haven’t spent much ti with Xiao Lian, and you don’t know her well, but I’m friends with her, and I can tell you she truly is a kind and gentle person, you..."
Anning couldn’t listen anymore.
She suddenly stood up: "Oh, just this matter, okay, I have sothing to attend to, I’m leaving now."
She turned around and quickly walked toward the elevator.
Fang Xiaolian was taken aback: "An Lin, what does she an by that."
Cui Anlin was also taken aback, then laughed and said to Fang Xiaolian, "She probably agreed."
Fang Xiaolian let out a big sigh of relief: "That’s good, really, thank you so much."
Cui Anlin waved his hand: "No need, no need, we’re friends."
"Still, I have to thank you." Fang Xiaolian’s smile was sweet and charming, watching Cui Anlin’s heartbeat race, his heart filled with a taste of happiness: "If you really want to thank , leave more dishes for , the food you cook is too delicious, after eating, I couldn’t eat other chefs’ als anymore."
Anning didn’t argue with Cui Anlin or Fang Xiaolian, nor did she make a scene.
She felt it was unnecessary.
With people like them whose minds are unclear, only considering their own interests, no matter how much you say, they won’t listen. They’d instead think you’re cold, ruthless, and unreasonable.
It’s better to avoid needless chatter and leave directly for peace and quiet.
Moreover, Anning only said an "okay", she didn’t officially agree with Fang Xiaolian. If problems arise in the future, Fang Xiaolian should not bla her.
Besides, even if Anning agreed, she was capable of subtly guiding public opinion, making Fang Xiaolian’s reputation go down the drain.
Anning walked quickly, and as she reached the elevator, the doors opened, she entered, and as she did, a tall man brushed past her.
Anning entered the elevator and slled an indescribable aroma.
There was a faint scent, yet it felt out of place, and upon sniffing more closely, it caused her mind to tremble.
Anning quickly held her breath.
She realized what this scent was; it’s a type of seductive aroma. Slling it for a long ti can intoxicate one’s mind, controlling thoughts and actions.
Why would there be such a scent in the elevator?
Anning couldn’t help but ponder.
