Chapter 582

"Oh my..."

Jiang Nannan did not dare to continue asking.

However, she kept blinking at Shu Xia.

"Considering you managed to land Qiao Muting, I'll forgive you! I've been on pins and needles since last night, terrified that Qiao Muting would use his power to bully you and force you to be his mistress or something. After all, with a face like yours, it's too easy for men to lose control."

Shu Xia was caught between laughter and tears.

"You have a filter on when you look at me; I'm not some rare, breathtaking beauty."

Jiang Nannan raised an eyebrow, "Babe, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about yourself? If you don't count as a breathtaking beauty, then who does? In my eyes, those glamorous big stars can't compare to you. Back in college, you were the only one called the campus belle that I actually agreed with."

After the two of them walked around for another lap, Jiang Nannan checked the time, "I have to go back. When I have a day off, I'll ask you out."

"Nannan, take care of yourself." Shu Xia hugged Jiang Nannan and instructed her softly.

Jiang Nannan looked no different from usual, but Shu Xia knew clearly that Jiang Nannan just didn't like to show her wounds.

The two of them were almost the same in this regard.

Neither of them liked to air their wounds.

They wanted to digest everything silently on their own.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nannan's eyes turned red for a moment, and her voice was a bit choked, "Mm."

She would take good care of herself.

The person who made the mistake was not her.

She had no reason to punish herself for someone else's mistake, right?

It was just that the wound in her heart was still bleeding and hadn't healed yet; she didn't know when it would finally heal.

Perhaps, it would get better slowly.

Just as Shu Xia left the school, Qiao Muting called to ask if she had time in the evening, wanting her to attend a charity gala with him.

She had to go visit Shu Chen later, and after calculating the time, she wouldn't be able to make it.

"I'm sorry, I can't go today." She refused.

Qiao Muting's tone was extremely indifferent, as if he didn't care that much, "Alright. If I finish too late tonight, I'll just rest at the hotel upstairs. You don't need to wait for me."

"Alright."

After Qiao Muting hung up the phone, his expression was somewhat cold.

Zhang Tezhu happened to be nearby, and seeing Qiao Muting's unhappy expression, he didn't dare to speak.

"Go and prepare." Qiao Muting ordered coldly.

"Alright."

No sooner had Zhang Tezhu stepped out than Qiao Muting glanced at his phone.

In Shu Xia's heart, what rank did he, her husband, hold?

Her weekend time was almost entirely given to other people.

Had she never thought about spending a weekend with him?

A wave of irritation rose in Qiao Muting's heart.

Shu Chen had been very busy lately, with one drama following another.

Through his hard work, the roles he took on now were all important second male leads.

Occasionally, one or two web dramas would even invite him to be the male lead.

His schedule was packed full.

He was also earning more and more money.
