Chapter 7

Qin Nuanyang let out a sound of "ah" and explained, "It's not that, I've just been a bit more exposed lately..."

At 9 PM, I received a call from the manager of the TC Club, who said that there was a disturbance and she needed to intervene.

Qin Nuanyang did not take it to heart and followed Miya away

At the green light, she set her phone aside, and only after turning the corner did she pick it up again. "I just got my domestic driver's license, and I'm not very good at driving yet, so I put it aside when I was at the intersection just now"

She went out and drove her own car, and as soon as she got in, she called Tang Zechen. Since they met at the club that day, it has been nearly half a month without any contact until today

Xu Yashu had not taken any action initially, but recently she has started to create trouble for her. Qin Nuanyang thought about the several months of cooperation ahead and decided to endure it.

It seems that the manager's claim of a serious situation is merely a reflection of his indecisiveness, which is why he asked her to come and see how to handle it. Qin Nuanyang does remember that Li Ao and Tang Zechen have some acquaintance, but she is unaware of the depth of their relationship and is not interested in finding out.

Don't all people know that they are together tonight

"Is it resolved?" She poured a cup of fruit tea and handed it over.

She was taken aback and asked again, somewhat uncertainly, "What?"

Tang Zechen paused for a moment before slowly saying, "Didn’t you just say you recently got your driver’s license and aren’t very good at driving?" After a brief pause, he added, "I will take you back."

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he walked away dejectedly

There came a lazy "en" from over there, followed by the question: "Is there something?"

She dialed the private number that Tang Zechen had given her that day, and the other end was quickly answered, "Hello?"

However, only she knows that it is not the case. Xu Yashu's joining the group has made entertainment reporters as energetic as if they had been injected with adrenaline, with paparazzi emerging one after another. Although Xu Yashu is protected by Li Ao, she remains solitary.

Qin Nuanyang's eyelids twitched slightly as she asked nonchalantly, "What made you want to go to TC for a meal?"

Qin Nuanyang had just put on a face mask, rolled her eyes, and then seriously reprimanded him, "You can't even handle this little matter?"

Not long after, Tang Zechen pushed the door open and entered. He was dressed very casually today. Perhaps he had rushed from home, as he still wore a white shirt with the collar opened to the sides, revealing his elegantly contoured collarbone. Over it, he had on a dark trench coat, giving him a relaxed and languid appearance

Qin Nuanyang let out a cold laugh in her heart. Was he planning to watch them fight by inviting her along, or was it just a perfect opportunity for him?

Qin Nuanyang immediately understood his meaning and pointed to the entrance of another underground parking lot behind the flower bed, saying, "There is an elevator down here"

Qin Nuanyang could not be bothered to argue with her, "I prefer to win with strength"

Tang Zechen glanced at her and followed her down the stairs

The expression on Xu Yashu's face beside him immediately turned unpleasant, as she glared at her and half-dragged, half-pulled Li Han into the car.

However, regardless of whether it is early or not, she is unwilling to stay and face him for even a moment longer, and she gets up to leave first.

The flower bed in front of the apartment's main entrance, under the cover of night, serves as a barrier; one would hardly notice the few individuals lurking behind it without a careful look

Qin Nuanyang also wanted to respond naturally, but upon realizing who was sitting next to her, she felt her entire body tense up. After a long pause, she finally managed to squeeze out a single "mm".

After the matter was resolved, the manager came over to report the situation. Tang Zechen listened with some impatience and waved his hand to dismiss him.

His voice, even through the phone, carried a layer of warm texture. She paused for a moment, cleared her throat, and said, "It's me"

Miya felt that the fire, which had just been extinguished, suddenly flared up again, "I say, Qin Nuanyang, can't you be a bit more ambitious? You have connections, after all."

Indeed, work was finished in the evening. Before getting into the car, Li Han whistled at her and said, "Shall we go together in the warm sun?"

Qin Nuanyang had already opened the door and was ready to get out of the car. Upon hearing the words, she did not think much of it. It was not until a short while after the car had driven away that she suddenly realized something was amiss after she turned around and entered the elevator

He casually took a sip and said, "It's about right; the person who loses money can take it away."

However, her concession appeared to outsiders as a sign of weakness and submission, and for a moment it seemed that everyone had forgotten her recent entanglement with Tang Zechen, as their attitudes were no longer as cautious as they had been before.

Qin Nuanyang was delighted and quickly nodded

When Qin Nuanyang arrived, she circled the venue twice but could not find the back door. In the end, she called the manager and asked him to come over and guide her.

Qin Nuanyang casually took a cup and said, "Thank you"

At that moment, Li Hanzheng pushed the door open and, upon hearing this, couldn't help but laugh, "What are you talking about?"

Miya immediately laughed in anger, "Qin Nuanyang, don't tease me, with your acting skills..."

Miss Qin should be acquainted with Li Han

She quickly dismissed this thought, realizing that even a dozing tiger remains a tiger

He looked innocently at his hands filled with milk tea and said, "I don't have any extra hands."

The traffic on the road decreased sharply in the evening. He drove both steadily and quickly. After passing an intersection and coming out from the back door of the TC Club, he naturally asked her: "Do you rarely drive?"

Yes

Li Han pulled the stool closer to her and lowered his voice, saying: "Xu Yashu has been dating my brother recently, and tonight he plans to formally introduce her to me. I just wanted to invite you to go with me, right?"

Tomorrow, have the assistant return to the film crew

"So that means we can have a break tonight, right? Then I can go home and get a good night's sleep." She refused without showing any emotion, but her meaning was quite clear

Since Tang Zechen has said so, she could not think of any reason to refuse, so she handed over the key. "Then I will trouble Mr. Tang."

Qin Nuanyang was originally rehearsing her lines, and feeling somewhat helpless at being interrupted by her, she reminded her, "Is it really honorable to bring funding into the production?"

Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and she was utterly embarrassed, yet he stubbornly turned his head, patiently waiting for her. She sighed and quickly reported the address of her private apartment.

Tang Zechen did not respond, instead he opened the car door for her to get in first, and then slowly walked around the front of the car to take his seat in the driver's seat

Li Han, after delivering the milk tea, did not rush to leave. He pulled up a chair and sat down opposite her, saying, "How about we go to the TC Club for dinner together tonight?"

Entering through the back door and making his way to the corridor, Qin Nuanyang glanced down at the tense hall below, before following the manager into Tang Zechen's private box

Qin Nuanyang mulled over this sentence for a long time, contemplating how to decline it

Tang Zechen slightly furrowed his brows, turned his head to glance at her, and said, "Lend me the car to drive back. Tomorrow, I will have my assistant return it to the film crew."

She rushed out and did not bring her watch. Glancing at his wrist, he accurately reported the time

Even if it is merely a matter of grasping at shadows, it can still be used for speculation

It is likely that perceptive individuals have long noticed Li Han's feelings for her, and even though Qin Nuanyang may be somewhat slow on the uptake, she now understands a thing or two. Given how conspicuously premeditated this is, how could she possibly obediently jump into it?

He paused slightly, then calmly walked around the flower bed and entered the entrance. "Is this often the case?"

As she reached the front of her car downstairs, he extended his hand and said, "Key."

Tang Zechen could not help but laugh, casually putting his hands in his pockets, "Rest assured, I have quite a bit of driving experience."

There was a pause, and then it was explained: "You can enter through the back door; I will have the manager wait for you there. We can discuss the other matters when I arrive." After saying this, the call was ended.

Qin Nuanyang looked at the three characters "Tang Zechen" on the screen and raised an eyebrow

Miya, unable to contain her anger, slammed the door of the dressing room and exclaimed, "What is this nonsense? We are also investing in this production, yet that person is treated like a deity, and they dare to speak to you like this. It’s absolutely infuriating.

Qin Nuanyang sipped her fruit tea while secretly glancing at him. Tonight, Tang Zechen seemed somewhat different, not displaying his emotions as he usually did. He appeared to be a bit softer, making him seem more approachable.

When she arrived at the bottom of her apartment building, she was eager to go upstairs. Tang Zechen glanced at her through the rearview mirror, grasped her hand firmly, yet gently enough to render her immobile. "Don't move yet."

Qin Nuanyang looked up in astonishment at him, noticing that he had been gazing at the rearview mirror, and she couldn't help but look over as well

"In the future, let the manager handle such matters," he suddenly said

Qin Nuanyang frowned and glanced at him, "Could you please remember to knock before coming in next time"

Tang Zechen glanced at her through the dim yellow streetlight outside the window, his tone faintly carrying a hint of amusement, "Even if you really don't want to talk to me, could you at least tell me where your home is?"

He clearly knows that what she is worried about is definitely not this

Qin Nuanyang: Confirmation of "... ..."

Tang Zechen frowned and asked, "Can the underground parking lot go directly upstairs?" as he spoke, he released his grip.

Are we going back now?" He glanced at the time, "Or should we sit for a while since we are here?"

The manager was well-trained in dealing with her and simply replied, "The situation is somewhat serious; I hope Miss Qin can come over as soon as possible"

As she thought to herself that it was pointless for someone to cause trouble and not call the police, she still got up to change her clothes. When she walked in front of the wardrobe, she suddenly remembered that Li Han was dining at the TC Club tonight, so she kept her guard up and asked, "Do you know who that person is?"

Qin Nuanyang felt that last time she had definitely been too lenient, as this person still had not learned their lesson

The manager just called me to say that there is a disturbance at the venue, and it is Li Han. I am not in a position to intervene. " After a pause, she explained, "I am already on my way there. Can you find someone to come over and handle it for now?
