Chapter One, how can you know the joy of fish if you are not a fish (1)

From the very beginning, she had been kept in the dark about this matter, so naturally, she had not heard a whisper of it. At this moment, being suddenly confronted with such an unexpected bombshell, Cheng An'an found herself at a complete loss.

Qin Mo emerged from the car in formal attire. Perhaps due to the pronounced contours of his face, he appeared even more austere when expressionless. At this moment, he stood beside the car door, and next to him stood a woman, elegantly linking her arm with his, smiling charmingly.

George hesitated for a moment, "But there is still your celebration banquet tonight, are you sure you don't need to rest for a while?"

Cheng An'an glanced at George behind her, noticing that he also wore a look of confusion, and then she stepped aside to walk inside. However, to her surprise, the group of reporters were not focused on her; seeing that she had no intention of providing any answers, they estimated that there was no explosive news to be found and, at the moment the target arrived, they all shifted their focus forward and surged ahead.

Su Qiancheng is a newly emerged leading actor in recent years. Once he rose to prominence, he has been receiving an unending stream of film offers, and his remuneration has been increasing continuously, now reaching the level of first-tier artists, comparable to Cheng An'an.

Seeing Cheng An'an lower her head and remain silent, George finally could not hold back any longer and slightly raised his voice, saying: "An'an, are you okay?"

She had always believed that a man like Qin Mo would never marry in this lifetime. Even if he were to marry, she would be the first to know. However, to her surprise, the whole world knew, and she learned of it from others and indirectly congratulated him.

She controlled the uncontrollable panic in her heart, gently raised the corners of her lips, and broke into a warm smile, "Of course, congratulations are in order"

With keen eyes, Cheng An'an spotted Su Qiancheng's nanny car stopping at the entrance. Her footsteps paused for a moment, and she instantly changed direction, walking towards Su Qiancheng without any attempt to conceal her intentions.

Cheng An'an squinted her eyes, and a sudden surge of defiance arose within her.

Seeing that someone had disturbed Cheng An'an, George stood up cursing and was about to drive the person away

Su Xintong

After flying in the sky for a long time, the airplane finally descended onto the airport runway. Amidst the cacophony of noise, Cheng An'an removed her eye mask and opened the delicate powder case she had in her bag, revealing her finely made-up face reflected in the mirror.

By the time we arrived at the filming location, the sky had darkened slightly, and a light drizzle had begun to fall.

Since her debut, Cheng An'an has rarely been involved in rumors with any artist, with the sole exception being Qin Mo. However, their relationship seems to be limited to friendship. Although it appears ambiguous, reporters have found no gaps to exploit, naturally leading to intuition without any evidence.

Hello, are you ready

Hmph. Su Qiancheng let out a cold snort, somewhat domineering, "You seem to be quite unconcerned."

George felt relieved to see that, aside from her pale complexion, her eyes still appeared clear. "Let me take you home to rest first"

But

On one side, a gentle voice sounded, and when Cheng An'an raised her eyes, she saw a face that was completely different from the voice.

It hasn't delayed me in any way, so I have nothing to be concerned about

The fatigue from the long flight was not evident in her face at all; indeed, the saying goes that one feels invigorated when encountering joyful events, which perfectly describes her current state

I have indeed heard of it

Therefore, when the familiar voice of the C station reporter sounded and looked at her with a gaze that concealed some mystery, Cheng An'an had no defenses whatsoever

"I am sorry, I went to the wrong place," the girl hurriedly apologized. Just as she turned around, she bumped into Su Qiancheng, who was standing at the door and about to enter. Instantly, her panic intensified, and she quickly apologized and retreated.

It was only because she was annoyed by the persistent questioning that she coldly pressed her lips together and said softly: "Could the journalist friends please shift the focus from unrelated people and matters to the purpose of today's press conference? I have no comment on these questions."

Yet, it was in the moment of rising that I missed the fleeting anxiety that crossed his face

The close-up shot lingers on her face, radiant with springtime joy, as she continues to smile, her full lips curving upward in a perfect arc. The fleeting moment of bewilderment has vanished from her eyes, which shine like summer flowers. Even now, hearing the increasingly excessive speculations and questions from the reporters does not stir a ripple within her.

Cheng An'an nodded slightly and casually opened the script that was placed on the nearby cabinet, but she had no interest in reading it at all

After giving her reflection in the mirror one last scrutinizing glance, Cheng An'an closed her powder compact, slightly lifted the corners of her lips, and prepared to return home with accolades.

Just as everyone's appetite was whetted, Miss Cheng An'an did not even spare a glance at Mr. Qin Mo, walking straight past him towards Su Qiancheng.

She took it, and the icy sensation transmitted from her fingertips to the cerebral cortex, causing her entire body to shudder.

Cheng An'an glanced at the girl, smiled slightly, and softly called out, "George." With just that gentle reprimand, the irritable man fell silent and obediently returned.

Cheng An'an, however, was unconcerned, saying, "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes"

George, feeling somewhat helpless, settled Cheng An'an and then instructed, "Let her rest here for a while. An'an will return to the crew tomorrow, so let her review the script."

Miss Cheng An'an, may I ask what your views are on the upcoming marriage between Mr. Qin Mo, the president of the Qin Group, and Miss Su Xintong of the Su Group

Cheng An'an was taken aback, her finger pressed against the script was scraped, drawing a fine line of blood. She discreetly took out a tissue to wipe it, murmuring her thanks, yet her tone held not a trace of joy.

Everyone watched as Cheng An'an, who was about to enter, suddenly turned around and walked towards Qin Mo, her entire being filled with excitement, while the camera focused on these two individuals, and the flashlights went off wildly

Outside, the rain fell in a gentle patter. She returned with the title of Best Actress, yet at this moment, she felt not a trace of joy, only a tumultuous surge of confusion rising from within, causing her a splitting headache

She smiled and expressed her gratitude, with a subtle joy evident in the corners of her eyes and brows

Cheng An'an lazily lowered her eyelids and replied without looking up from the script in her hand, "I wonder what Mr. Su thinks about changing a young model every two days?"

The name Cheng An'an has almost swept the globe, becoming the most popular search term. Today, it is immensely popular, having won numerous prestigious awards primarily among the Chinese community, achieving both fame and fortune, and standing out remarkably.

Cheng An'an curled her lips into a cold smile and said, "Can't you see this? If I, Cheng An'an, want something, there is nothing I cannot obtain. Qin Mo and I are just good friends, and nothing more."

Cheng An'an felt somewhat irritated by his persistent questioning. She sighed and, staring into his eyes, spoke slowly and deliberately: "Are you sure that when you receive news about such matters, you don't need to inform me right away?" After saying this, she felt her tone was a bit harsh, so she raised her hand to press her forehead and said, "I'm sorry."

It is said that he comes from a well-off family, but no one knows the specifics of that wealth. However, judging by his rising popularity, it is likely that the financial backing behind him is substantial. With his handsome appearance, it is only a matter of time before he secures the title of Best Actor.

Qin Mo has always preferred drinking mineral water, and he does not touch any other beverages. Over time, he has become too lazy to drink anything else, and the small refrigerator in the car is filled with mineral water.

Upon hearing this, she raised her head and replied, "What could possibly be the matter with me?"

It felt as if she had been struck by something, a dull pain hitting her repeatedly, rendering her momentarily unable to think. She only felt a void in her mind, unable to recall anything, a complete blank.

However, their temper is quite poor, arrogant and overbearing, and they act according to their own whims

He smiled indifferently at the *picture* book and took a seat on the chair next to her, saying, "Congratulations, Best Actress"

Seeing Cheng An'an get off the nanny van, the crew members were somewhat surprised, and the assistant hurriedly brought an umbrella to receive her. "An'an, why did you come over? There is still a celebration banquet tonight; why not go rest instead?"

By the time she arrived at the press conference venue, it was already crowded. As soon as she entered the hall, the flashbulbs went off incessantly, nearly blinding the staff beside her.

Are you okay ... ... ?" George thoughtfully handed over a bottle of mineral water

It was originally planned to exit through the regular channel, but upon discovering that the number of people picking up was too large, causing chaos, it was decided to change the route and exit directly through the VIP channel.

The rumors between Cheng An'an and Qin Mo have been circulating for quite some time, yet at this moment, her sudden attack reveals not even a hint of sadness or disappointment, which is both somewhat disappointing and yet expected.

Su Qiancheng noticed that she seemed to be in a bad mood today. He recalled the live broadcast he had seen earlier in the lounge and leaned slightly on the armrest beside her, softening his tone to inquire, "Qin Mo is getting married, but the bride is not you. I wonder what Miss Cheng thinks about this?"

Since the assistant has heard the agent say this, there are naturally no objections. "Then An An, you can rest for now. Just call me if you need anything."

The RV sent by the company had been waiting for a long time. As Cheng An'an just boarded the vehicle, she was greeted with a series of congratulations.

After the press conference concluded, she sat in the back seat of the comfortable RV, and the mask on her face could no longer be maintained, suddenly collapsing.

Thinking of the people she might encounter at home, Cheng An'an shook her head and said, "No, let's go directly to the film set."

At present, a reporter persistently continued to ask: "May I ask if your words are sincere? There have been rumors that you are the wife of the president of the Qin Group."

Su Xintong

Cheng An'an had long been accustomed to this life under the spotlight, and at this moment, she still maintained a perfect smile as she walked step by step towards Qin Mo. Behind her, George was drenched in cold sweat, unsure of what new scheme this ancestor had come up with to cause trouble.

Cheng An'an raised her eyes and saw a car parked at the entrance, and the man getting out of the car was the focus of these journalists.

Qin Mo knew that she was coming back today, yet he has not called her even now. Thinking of this, she took out her phone to check, only to find that it had long since run out of battery

Her demeanor is graceful and dignified, truly elusive. Especially when she wishes to conceal her true feelings, no one can resist the aura she emanates, let alone discern her genuine thoughts from the deep mists in her eyes.

The rain outside grew heavier, and Cheng An'an stepped down from the car with an umbrella. As soon as she left the RV, the cold wind outside rushed towards her. She did not make a grand occasion of this celebration banquet, only inviting a few close friends from her circle to come over.

She was momentarily bewildered, but the instincts honed over her years of performing arts saved her

Cheng An'an was naturally satisfied with this effect and could also anticipate the questions they would ask, revealing the most perfect smile while waiting for the reporters to pose their inquiries

At that moment, the door was suddenly flung open, and a girl holding a prop, appearing to be around twenty years old, stood at the entrance in astonishment, seemingly surprised at having intruded into the wrong place

Su Qiancheng frowned in disgust, "Who brought in this newcomer, so reckless and careless"

After tidying her hair, Cheng An'an nodded slightly, "Naturally"

It is unclear who let the information slip, as a circle of reporters outside is already aiming their cameras in this direction

Debuting for six years, active in both film and television.

George was still pretending to be invisible on the sofa when he heard Cheng An'an's retort, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Haha, I'm going out to get An'an a glass of water, you all continue."
