n“Mr. Ye, um… I’m not coming with you.”

nXia Nuan always felt that they looked extremely incongruous when she stood beside Ye Sichen.

nYe Sichen put on his coat and walked out of the lounge, “I don’t want anyone to upset my decision. Of course, once I decide something, nobody can change it.”

n

n

nXia Nuan had to follow Ye Sichen to have dinner in the restaurant downstairs.

nThe restaurant was inside the stadium. Fortunately, the music company of Ye Sichen blocked it, so there were no irrelevant people except the staff who participated in the concert.

nDespite this, Xia Nuan and Ye Sichen still attracted everyone’s attention when they appeared in the restaurant.

nEveryone looked at Xia Nuan beside Ye Sichen with doubts and jealousy.

n

n

nYe Sichen was like the sun. He looked glorious wherever he was. When an ordinary woman like Xia Nuan stood beside him, she would naturally be sheltered by his glory and become extraordinary.

n“Mr. Ye, are you going to the private room?” The waiter smiled and took a look at Xia Nuan, asking the thing that everyone was most concerned in a professional tone.

nEveryone wanted to know if this girl would be a new love of Ye Sichen?

nThey would definitely go to a private room if they were intimate.

n

n

n“No.” He pulled two chairs in the drawing room and sat down at will.

nThe waiter was embarrassed. He handed the menu to him in a respectful manner.

n“Is there any Chinese food here?” Ye Sichen asked the waiter.

n“Sorry, Mr. Ye. There is none.”

n“Well, is there any food materials?” Ye Sichen asked.

nHis voice was gentle but redoubtable.

n

n

n“Yes, we have all kinds of food materials here.”

nYe Sichen took the pen from Xia Nuan’s hand and wrote a few lines on a piece of paper.

n“Just cook as I wrote.”

nThe waiter took the menu that he wrote and left.

nSitting on the opposite side of Ye Sichen, Xia Nuan drank water silently, wondering the food pairing that he wrote.

nWhen the waiter served food, Xia Nuan found that they were all her favorite Chinese food.

nAll the dishes that Ye Sichen ordered were her favorite. Was it unintentional or coincidental?

nXia Nuan was distracted to see the dishes.

n

n

n“Keep your mind clear and enjoy the dinner.” Ye Sichen handed her a pair of chopsticks. She took them after a pause.

n“Thank you.”

nYe Sichen seemed to have forgotten the unpleasant history of her previous “selling photos to the media”. He was still gentle to her as ever.

nXia Nuan was touched.

n“After dinner, have a rest on the sixth floor. If there is something, I will call you.”

n“How about I come here tomorrow?”

n“It would be troublesome for the safeguard to pick you up. It is also a waste of car oil.” Ye Sichen sipped the orange juice.

n“Oh.” Xia Nuan had to stay here.

nAfter they had dinner, Xia Nuan went to the sixth floor, but she forgot to ask Ye Sichen about the exact room number. So, she went down the elevator to find him, but she failed.

nThe stadium was so large and Ye Sichen was very busy. Xia Nuan didn’t want to disturb him, so she leaned against the corridor wall on the sixth floor and read the design book.

n“I know, I have approached the two people, and I know that they bought the front seats… Rest assured, I will also put Snow in his cup…”

nXia Nuan suddenly stopped turning over the book.

nSnow?

n

n

nWhose cup would he put Snow in?

nXia Nuan instantly hid in the dark, trying to listen to what he would say next. But she heard nothing after a long time.

nXia Nuan quietly looked toward that direction and found a man of medium height in a suit. He walked into the elevator with a mobile phone in his hand.

nAt this time, the man found her, so she immediately lowered her head and took a book to read, pretending that she was just passing through there. However, the man was not deceived. He put away his phone, instantly pressed the elevator switch and blocked Xia Nuan in a rush.

nThe man smiled sullenly and asked her, “Who are you? Why haven’t I seen you before?”

nXia Nuan said calmly, “I am a staff here.”

n“Really? Where do you work? I find you sneaking like a thief! I have to take you to the police station!” As the man said that, he grabbed Xia Nuan’s arm and dragged her into the elevator.

n“I am not a thief! I am a staff member participating in the concert.”

nXia Nuan knew that the wicked man was trying to seize the initiative. She could tell from his previous conversation that there must be an unspeakable conspiracy. He was afraid that his plot would be leaked, so he wanted to drive her away.

n“I haven’t seen you before. You must be a tabloid reporter who wants to dig out Mr. Ye’s privacy. Paparazzi like you are the most hateful. You know, Mr. Ye hates paparazzi the most!” As the man said that, he forcibly dragged her into the elevator.

nXia Nuan grabbed the elevator door and contended with the man.

nSuddenly, she was dragged by a strong force, and then fell into a broad chest, which made her feel at ease. Her waist was also circled by an arm.

n“Ye, Mr. Ye…” The man suddenly changed his previously arrogant attitude, bowing with a face of respect.

n“Shang Ze, she is my costume designer.”

nThe man was called Shang Ze, the assistant assigned by the brokerage company to handle concert affairs.

nShang Ze acted like he was very guilty and apologized to Xia Nuan, “Sorry, it’s my fault, I was worried that there might be tabloid reporters coming in.”

n“Well.” Ye Sichen sheltered Xia Nuan, holding her hand and turning away from the elevator.

nThe moment her hand was touched, Xia Nuan wanted to pull back, but she could not get rid of him.

n“What happened?” Ye Sichen didn’t let her go until he took her into a quiet and simple bedroom.

nXia Nuan could not help telling him what she had heard just now, and told him about her doubts, “Snow is the code name of those prohibited items. I think Shang Ze must have a conspiracy, and you ought to be careful.”

nYe Sichen pondered for a moment and nodded. Then he reminded her seriously, “You’d better guard against the strangers from possible attacks in the future.” Thinking of the first night he went to Mood for Love and found that she twisted the enchanting figure and played with those unknown, Ye Sichen said sourly, “This is not Mood for Love where you can chat up with anyone.”

nXia Nuan heard that with a gloomy face.

nIt seemed that he knew what she did there.

n“So, Mr. Ye, I once served men for living, and this upscale place is really not suitable for me to stay.” Xia Nuan sneered with self-deprecation.

n“I don’t care about it. But you have to solve the problem of the costumes. I am more concerned about when the costumes will be completed.”

nYe Sichen’s face fell. He poured two cups of water. One was placed next to him and the other was held by himself.

nXia Nuan was about to speak, but said nothing. Finally she just kept silent.

nAt this time, Ye Sichen’s phone rang and he stood up to answer it.

n“Well, I’m coming.” He glanced at Xia Nuan and handed a phone card to her, “Put it in your phone for easy contact.”

nHe knew that her phone number was destroyed in Mood for Love. So, he specially bought a new one for her.

nXia Nuan wanted to refuse, but Ye Sichen slammed the door and left.

nLooking at his back, she was somewhat absent-minded.

nWhen Ye Sichen went out of the bedroom, Shang Ze immediately hid in the dark with his camera.

nAfter he went away, Shang Ze dialed a telephone number, “Video News media? I have a big news for you…”

nIn the room, Xia Nuan pressed the phone card into her phone card slot. She restarted the phone and found there were two numbers on it, one was the phone number of her card, and the other was a stranger number.

nClicking on the number, she found a name below it, Ye Sichen.

nXia Nuan was a little moved.

nXia Nuan observed the bedroom. It was simple but elegant. And there was a living room and a bedroom. The afternoon sunshine shined from the balcony, which was very warm.

nShe placed the design drawings on the table and began to study fashion design.

nAt five o’clock, her phone rang.

n“Come to the lounge.”

nYe Sichen’s voice was a little bit harsh.

n“Oh.” Xia Nuan hung up the phone, took a cloth ruler and a pen, and then went to the lounge on the first floor.

nWhen Xia Nuan arrived at the lounge, she saw a lot of staff inside.

nYe Sichen sat among them with a serious face.

nXia Nuan also saw his assistant Shang Ze among these people. Sitting on the left side of Ye Sichen, he frowned heavily.

nXia Nuan was invited by the safeguards who were standing outside the door. As soon as she entered, everyone stared at her. She had a feeling of being the target of public criticism.

nYe Sichen saw her and said slowly, “Prepare to record the news conference. We are doing it here.”

nThe staff members followed his orders as he finished.

nThe cameraman pushed the camera in the lounge, and the makeup artist began to set up lights for Ye Sichen. He looked at Xia Nuan, “Xia Nuan, come here.”

nXia Nuan walked over and stood next to the lighting engineer and the makeup artist.

n“Mr. Ye asked you to stand next to him, didn’t you hear it?” The makeup artist Aka whispered to remind Xia Nuan.

nXia Wen moved slowly until she walked next to Ye Sichen.

n“Mr. Ye, can we start?”

nYe Sichen nodded, “Let’s get started.”

n“Look at the camera.” Ye Sichen said to Xia Nuan.

nXia Nuan did as he said.

nXia Nuan didn’t understand why she was asked to stand next to him to attend the conference. Of course, she did not ask more but had to cooperate.

n“Good afternoon, I am Ye Sichen. Today I hold this conference to clarify some false reports of Video News. The one standing next to me is my designer, Xia Nuan. I went to her room to discuss the design of the costume. The photos are true, but the news reports are not. Please don’t make use of a photo to deliberately create a buzz. I hope this is the end of the hype. If there are still false statements which would cause serious influence on me, I will sue the media.”

nYe Sichen said that with a gentle tone, but it was still uncompromising.

nXia Nuan listened to his words and seemed to know a little about the conference.

nIt seemed that the photo got Ye Sichen into trouble again.

nXia Nuan felt a little uneasy. Was it taken by Xia Yan again? The one who had already taken photos in secret and sold them to the media for money…

nBut it sounded like she was also involved the photo…

nThinking of this, Xia Nuan got more and more perturbed.

nIn a short time, the clarification conference ended.

nYe Sichen did not like to make his news conference large and grand. He preferred to record it either at home or at the workplace casually.

nThe cameraman, lighting engineer and other staff began to pick up the equipment and left the place. The makeup artist Aka was also tidying up her own stuffs.

nXia Nuan felt that she had nothing to do, so she was ready to leave.

nBut Aka stopped her.
