Chapter 341

"I remember when we were in college, you said you wanted to be a celebrity agent or a reporter. Does your new job have something to do with those?" Shu Xia guessed.

Jiang Nannan did not expect Shu Xia to guess so accurately and quickly. "I stayed at home after graduation and never worked, so all the resumes I sent out were rejected; I didn't have a single chance for an interview. However, heaven rewards the diligent—my idol gave me a job opportunity!"

"Your idol?"

"It's Film Emperor Sheng An. He heard I was looking for a job recently and said he happened to be short an assistant. His previous assistant had other career plans, so the position was open," Jiang Nannan said.

Upon receiving the invitation from Sheng An, she had originally been somewhat hesitant. After all, her family members did not agree with her going out to work, saying it was tiring and that Huo Jingyan could afford to support her, so there was no need for her to go out to work.

And she also cared very much about what Huo Jingyan thought.

But she had been feeling insecure during this period, and only after seeing a doctor today did she realize the seriousness of the situation; she had to walk out of this predicament!

So just now, she had agreed to Sheng An.

Being able to watch her idol act up close—this job was absolutely wonderful!

Jiang Nannan was full of anticipation.

Shu Xia supported Jiang Nannan's decision. Since Jiang Nannan wanted to change her current situation, and she had also seen Jiang Nannan's current state with her own eyes, she supported her even more.

"Congratulations to our Miss Jiang for finding a job!"

Jiang Nannan's eyes and brows were bright with joy. "I'll be able to see Film Emperor Sheng An every day from now on; just thinking about it makes me happy. Plus, Film Emperor Sheng An really is a particularly good and gentle person."

"Oh my, babe, if you weren't married, I would definitely congratulate you on being in a prime position to get what you want first," Shu Xia joked.

The smile on Jiang Nannan's lips stiffened, and she said as if nothing were the matter: "My liking for Film Emperor Sheng An is the liking one has for an idol, just like liking an elder; I am very devout in my heart! It's different from how I like Huo Jingyan; my feelings for Huo Jingyan are an admiration I've held since I was small. It's just that I'm not quite sure now if he still likes me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Nannan suddenly realized she had let something slip.

Shu Xia turned her head to look at Jiang Nannan. "Is there something going on between you and President Huo?"

The suspicion that had been suppressed before surfaced in her heart again.

The sound of "President Huo" heard at the Hot Spring Villa surfaced once more.

Was that person, in the end, Huo Jingyan?

Jiang Nannan had never been a person so sensitive to emotions, but she had been feeling insecure lately and her mental state was not good; perhaps it wasn't just groundless?

"I can't really say what happened. He's been so busy lately that he hasn't really come home for about a month. Even if he does come home, it's just to take a look at me, sleep for a night, and go to work the next day. He's been so busy that we haven't had time to talk properly, especially in the last ten days. He has barely spoken to me or video-chatted with me. I don't know if I'm being too sensitive, but I always feel like he doesn't care about me or like me as much anymore. This feeling has been especially strong lately."

Seeing that she had already let it slip, Jiang Nannan poured out all her thoughts.

"Maybe it's because I'm at home every day and too bored that I'm overthinking things. There were times before when he was too busy to pay attention to me, too."

Indeed, once a woman's entire world revolves around a man, it is very easy to feel insecure, or even fall into self-doubt.

Shu Xia thought for a moment and said, "Have you gone to the company to look for him?"

"I have, but he was never at the company. He's too busy usually, often away on business trips or at social engagements. If I go, I'm just adding to his burden and trouble. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I see a Western restaurant ahead; it's the one Huo Jingyan used to take me to often. Let's not eat at the buffet; how about we go eat at this one?" Jiang Nannan pointed at the restaurant not far away.

Women are fickle by nature.

Shu Xia agreed, "Let's go, let's go to this one!"
