Chapter 272

After the photo shoot, some said with a hint of jealousy, "After being busy for so long, I'm just a cold dish that no one wants to eat."

"You have a long road ahead of you, Shu Chen, I have high hopes for you." Sheng An praised Shu Chen endlessly.

He could see his former self in Shu Chen, the one who worked hard regardless of the cost.

Shu Chen was a bit embarrassed to be praised by a senior, "I will work hard!"

"Nannan, help me and my second brother take a photo." Shu Xia handed her phone to Jiang Nannan.

When Jiang Nannan went to take the phone, she realized she hadn't given away the cookies in her hand, so she immediately handed them to Sheng An, "Sheng Laoshi, these are cookies I made, with half the sugar and oil, absolutely healthy!"

Sheng An looked at the cookies Jiang Nannan handed over, feeling a bit surprised.

Many years ago, when he first entered the entertainment industry, during the promotional tour for his first film, almost no reporters interviewed him.

After the lead actors finished answering questions, when it was his turn, the host just asked casually, "Sheng An, what about you? What is your favorite food?"

His answer was cookies.

Later, after he had an agent, his answers to questions followed a template; over time, he learned to hide and not reveal his true preferences. Just now, he had assumed Jiang Nannan was only politely saying she had liked him for many years.

Now it seemed she was telling the truth.

"Thank you." There was a bit more sincerity in Sheng An's tone.

Jiang Nannan's smile was as bright as the sun, "You're welcome, Sheng Laoshi, this is just a small token of my appreciation as a fan."

At this moment, not far away.

Qiao Muting, who happened to be playing golf, saw a familiar figure.

At first, he wasn't sure if it was Shu Xia.

Later, after looking carefully, he realized it was her.

Zhang Tezhu followed Qiao Muting's gaze and, upon seeing Shu Xia, exclaimed in surprise, "It's Miss Shu!"

"Is Miss Shu a fan of Sheng An?"

Qiao Muting's heart stirred, "Sheng An?"

"Sheng An is an actor, and a triple-crowned Best Actor at that, with countless awards. He has over a hundred million Weibo followers and is an absolute box-office guarantee. I'm a fan of his myself! Of course, he has even more female fans; the younger sisters in my family and my mother all like him. You could say he's a total heartthrob." Zhang Tezhu looked around with curiosity.

He hadn't expected Miss Shu to be a fan of Sheng An.

Suddenly, he realized something.

He turned his head to look at Qiao Muting.

Seeing Qiao Muting squinting his eyes as he looked at Sheng An, his heart skipped a beat—was he jealous?

"One of the actors seems to be named Shu Chen; he should be Miss Shu's second brother. Miss Shu must be here to visit the set, right?"

Qiao Muting remembered that when Shu Xia left this morning, she said she was going to visit her second brother on set.

He lifted his foot, intending to walk toward Shu Xia and Shu Chen.

Suddenly, a woman's graceful figure blocked his path.

Upon seeing who the woman was, the aura around Qiao Muting turned cold.

"Qiao, can you give me a chance to explain? Even a criminal who makes a mistake gets a prison sentence to reform. I've known you for so many years, and we have many mutual friends. Seeking out Shu Xia before was indeed my mistake, and I overstepped my bounds."

Qiao Anran explained anxiously to Qiao Muting.

These past few days, the Qiao Family had been in chaos; her father blamed her mother for acting without considering the consequences and for not stopping her.

He even ordered her to explain things clearly to Qiao Muting and to seek reconciliation.

She had been making frequent mistakes at work these past few days and had pulled many strings to try to see Qiao Muting, but she had been rejected every time. Jiang Tu told her to find a way to make Qiao Muting stop being angry herself.

After waiting patiently for a few days, she learned today that Qiao Muting and Jiang Tu were coming to play golf, so she immediately dropped her evening program and came over.

Qiao Muting's eyes were deep and cold, his brows slightly furrowed, revealing a hint of impatience.

Not far away, after Jiang Nannan finished taking photos of Shu Xia and Shu Chen, she noticed Qiao Muting in the distance while checking the photos and immediately exclaimed, "Qiao Muting?"
