You Are My Unforgettable Love Chapter 309 - Qiao Lian, I Like You (9)

Thanks to some mysterious party, the rumour that Mo Xicheng was a kept man had spread like wildfire on the internet.

It had consequently caused a great negative impact on Mo Xicheng’s new TV series, that was slated to pilot very soon.

Furthermore, he had been let go from a new production in which he had initially secured a deal for a supporting role. The production company had gone to the extent of announcing a change of actor.

Advertis.e.m.e.nts featuring him were gradually being taken off air. Obviously someone was stirring trouble to worsen the situation!

s.h.i.+ Nianyao panicked. “This is absolutely vile! My idol is an innocent victim! His career has been arduous enough. After so many years of going unnoticed, this has to happen just as he’s picking up pace. My idol must be really upset!”

Qiao Lian suddenly pictured a very dejected Mo Xicheng in her mind. After some thought, she picked up her cell phone and sent a message to Shen Liangchuan:

[How is Mo Xicheng?]

Shen Liangchuan’s reply came in almost immediately,

[He’s okay.]

He’s okay… What did that mean exactly?

Qiao Lian dialed Shen Liangchuan’s number instead. “Is he really okay? This matter has blown up to huge proportions.”

“No big deal. He’s just stepped out and someone hurled eggs at him, and then he was surrounded by a mob of reporters.”

How could Shen Liangchuan speak so casually and calmly about this?

How could it be no big deal!?

Wasn’t this bad enough?

Qiao Lian was about to continue when he interrupted her, “What shall we have for dinner tonight?”

Qiao Lian didn’t know what to say.

Why did she have the feeling that Shen Liangchuan and Mo Xicheng couldn’t care less, while she and s.h.i.+ Nianyao on the other hand were panicking? There was the saying that “the eunuch gets more anxious than the emperor”… but she was not an eunuch, of course.

Perhaps it was because of Shen Liangchuan’s unfl.u.s.tered manner that Qiao Lian ended up calming down too.

She gloomily replied, “I’m fine with whatever.”

Shen Liangchuan mumbled an “okay” and asked when he heard her sighing, “Unhappy about something?”

“Uh huh.”

“What about?” he probed.

“Is that all you have to say?”

“What’s wrong?”

Qiao Lian was frustrated. “Well, it’s about work. Shouldn’t you offer me some comfort?”

She blushed as she said this.

However, they were in the awkward phase between having had a fight and making up, which could allow her to get away with a small tantrum.

Besides, the mere thought of being comforted by the nation’s Best Actor was exciting to say the least.

“Don’t be unhappy.”

Qiao Lian stared blankly ahead, listening to the voice on the other end of the line.

And then… silence.

Qiao Lian scowled. He was really a man of few words!

This was no way to comfort a girl.

“I’m not good with words. But actions are possible… tonight.”

Qiao Lian turned scarlet. “What are you saying!?”

“I meant buying you dinner. What were you thinking?”

Qiao Lian didn’t know what to say.

Her face was still hot and flushed after hanging up.

He had teased her again.

She turned around and jumped when she saw s.h.i.+ Nianyao’s face barely a few inches away from her own.

s.h.i.+ Nianyao blinked. “How is my idol now?”

Qiao Lian didn’t know what to say.

It was as though she had forgotten about it.

She gave a cough. “Not doing too poorly.”

s.h.i.+ Nianyao fell into silence.

They sat at their desks, both lost in their own thoughts.

An hour later, the office door was suddenly swung open. Following this, s.h.i.+ Nianyao gave a shout of surprise, “Wow!”

Qiao Lian looked up and saw a huge bouquet of flowers right before her.
