Chapter 500

Jiang Nannan followed the gazes of Liu Hang and Sheng An and looked back.

Seeing that Huo Jingyan had not yet left, she waved her hand at Huo Jingyan.

The corners of Huo Jingyan's lips curled up; he nodded at Jiang Nannan with a faint smile, then stepped on the gas and left.

Seeing Huo Jingyan leave, Jiang Nannan turned back and said, "That's right, he is my husband; he just happened to have time to drop me off."

Liu Hang looked at that limited-edition car; there aren't even two of those in Jing City, right?

He immediately gave Sheng An a look with a somewhat complex expression, then looked at Jiang Nannan and said, "Are you out here to experience life?"

"It's not experiencing life, it's working diligently!" Jiang Nannan defended herself; she didn't want to be misunderstood.

If she had known, she would have told Huo Jingyan to leave as soon as possible before getting out of the car.

She had indeed told Sheng An and Liu Hang before that she was married, but she hadn't mentioned her family's financial situation.

The car Huo Jingyan drove today was a limited edition; one could tell at a glance that it was worth a fortune.

Liu Hang didn't say anything more, thinking to himself, who are you trying to fool? However, no matter how one looked at Jiang Nannan, she didn't look like the kind of pampered young mistress; she had been willing to endure hardship and was hardworking during the time she had been working here.

He had just seen the man in the car; he looked a bit familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

He was also very handsome, the kind of handsome that could be a celebrity.

He was an agent, and he knew very well that if such a face were managed well in the entertainment industry, it would certainly be no less than Sheng An's status. Of course, one could tell that Jiang Nannan's husband had the air of a domineering CEO.

Sheng An seemed to be lost in thought.

However, they were about to film, so at this moment, Sheng An should be in character.

Jiang Nannan didn't dare to disturb him and didn't continue to explain.

In any case, she would use her actual actions to prove that she cherished this work opportunity very much.

——

The next day, early morning.

Shu Xia woke up and only then discovered she was in Qiao Muting's arms.

Had he actually returned?

When did he return, and why hadn't she heard a sound?

Just as she was feeling puzzled, Qiao Muting suddenly rolled over and pinned Shu Xia beneath him.

The man who had been sleeping with his eyes closed just a moment ago had not a hint of sleepiness in his eyes at this moment; his eyes were as dark as the night.

"Forgot what you promised me last night?" he asked.

His voice had the low hoarseness of having just woken up in the morning, yet it was lethally sexy.

Shu Xia had just woken up, and her reactions were still a bit slow, "What I promised you? Last night?"

How could she have absolutely no memory of it?

"Don't tell me you want to welch on the deal? I'll play the recording for you to hear." Qiao Muting was shrewd and had guessed that Shu Xia definitely wouldn't remember what she said while half-asleep.

As Qiao Muting picked up his phone and played the recording from last night, Shu Xia's body instantly stiffened.

She recovered this memory in her mind.

"I wasn't fully awake last night; what I said while not fully awake doesn't count. I'm getting up to make breakfast." Shu Xia pushed at Qiao Muting, who was pinning her down.

But no matter how she pushed, she couldn't move him.

He was pressing down tightly and firmly.

As she struggled to break free, her face turned bright red; she felt the man's change.

It startled her so much that she didn't dare to move recklessly again.

Qiao Muting lowered his head and kissed her lips, kissing somewhat fiercely, as if he were punishing her for her earlier attempt to welch on the deal.

Shu Xia's breathing became uneven from being bullied.

"If you don't fulfill your promise, do you believe I won't let you go to work today?" Qiao Muting said by her ear.

In such matters, men always had an innate advantage; she believed him when he said he wouldn't let her go to work! Shu Xia raised her head and kissed his Adam's apple.

The man's gaze changed instantly, like a lion ready to awaken at any moment.

His voice was deep and hoarse, "Continue."

Afterwards, Qiao Muting leaned against the head of the bed, with some lingering confusion and lack of control still remaining in his eyes.
