My lord, hold me tight! (Quick Transmigration)
10 The Playboy Princes of the Entertainment Industry (4)
For the past two months, Shang Nuannuan has been reporting to Ji Chuan's place every day without fail, and neither wind nor rain can stop her from winning over this devilish heart. This has caused Shang's mother to start complaining that she's always running off, and that her daughter is growing up and she can't be kept at home anymore.
In reality, while Ji Chuan was working, she would stay quietly beside him. During his breaks, she would occasionally crack a joke to get his attention, leaving Ji Chuan both exasperated and amused. They say a serious man is the most handsome, and Ji Chuan's focused demeanor while handling his work was indeed quite charming.
His brows were slightly furrowed, and his wispy bangs were a bit long. When he lowered his head, his bright peach blossom eyes reflected a captivating aura as they were half-hidden. His perfectly thin lips were tightly pursed, giving him a serious and earnest air, with a touch of ascetic beauty.
Sometimes, perhaps because Shang Nuannuan's gaze was too intense, Ji Chuan would look up at her, but later he got used to it and would at most glance at her helplessly.
Two months is neither a long nor a short time. Ji Chuan has seen Shang Nuannuan's changes. The girl who had been clinging to him for several years has slowly become able to stir his heart.
Ji Chuan's feelings for her were still quite complicated. He admitted that he had fallen for Shang Nuannuan now, but on the one hand, although he was used to this little girl bouncing around in his life and it would be good to have her in his life in the future, on the other hand, he had always treated her like a younger sister for the past few years, and it would be uncomfortable to suddenly change his identity.
Ji Chuan admitted he was cowardly… The young master Ji, who had always been so adept at navigating the world of women, had now retreated. He didn't have the courage to take on the responsibility of Xiang Nuannuan's lifelong happiness; he was afraid that one day he would grow tired of her, that he would hurt her, and he… didn't want to see Shang Nuannuan heartbroken for him.
That day, Shang Nuannuan came to Ji Chuan's office to report as usual, and she noticed that Ji Chuan's gaze towards her was slowly becoming more complicated.
Shang Nuannuan walked straight into the office, where someone was saying something to Ji Chuan: "Young Master Ji, there is a banquet in a week. This is the invitation." The person handed her a gold-embossed invitation, greeted her, and then turned and left.
"What is this?" Xiang Nuannuan asked curiously.
"It's just a small gathering in the entertainment industry. What, Nuannuan, do you want to go?" Ji Chuan explained casually.
Shang Nuannuan nodded, blinking her big eyes and gazing expectantly at Ji Chuan. Of course she wanted to go; this was the beginning of the story. Ji Chuan had first met Chu Yu and was attracted by his pure and innocent aura, which led to their subsequent entanglement. She couldn't let this devilish charmer ruin the future of the nation's flower buds.
"No, you can't go." Ji Chuan refused Shang Nuannuan's request seriously this time, his tone gentle but leaving no room for argument.
"Why?" Shang Nuannuan couldn't understand why Ji Chuan would reject her.
"In short, no. Honey, after I finish reading these documents, I'll take you to that sashimi place. Haven't you always wanted to try it?" Ji Chuan changed the subject, lowering his head to concentrate on reading the documents.
Shang Nuannuan looked at the man who was avoiding her questions with his head down, completely bewildered, unable to understand why Ji Chuan would disagree. It seemed she would have to figure it out herself. Thinking this, she picked up her backpack from the sofa and left without a word.
Seeing that Shang Nuannuan didn't answer him for a long time, Ji Chuan looked up at the empty office and sighed. He just didn't want to take Nuannuan to the glamorous banquets of the entertainment industry, and didn't want her to see the backstabbing and infighting among the stars, the filth beneath the glamour. He didn't expect the little girl to be angry. Sigh, he'd better comfort her tomorrow!
Little did Ji Chuan know that he would see Xiang Nuannuan again a week later.
Meanwhile, Shang Nuannuan had just come out of Ji Chuan Company and was standing by the roadside waiting for her driver to pick up the car, wondering if she should use the Shang family's name to sneak in. Just as she was thinking this, a strange silver-gray car suddenly stopped in front of her, and a handsome man with a gentle and refined temperament got out of the driver's seat.
"Nuan Nuan?" The man's warm, dark eyes sparkled with undisguised joy.
“…Senior An?” Shang Nuannuan tentatively called out, searching for the gentle young man with a somewhat immature face in her memory.
Looking at the handsome man in front of her, Shang Nuannuan recalled from her memories that his name was An Xu, her senior in college. This senior had feelings for her and even planned to pursue her, but at that time, she was only thinking about Ji Chuan and couldn't see anyone else. In addition, she was physically weak and spent most of her time recuperating at home, so her pursuit was aborted before it could be carried out.
At An Xu's enthusiastic invitation, Shang Nuannuan figured she had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she called the driver and got into An Xu's car. They had lunch together at a restaurant and then chatted in a coffee shop in the afternoon.
An Xu's family runs a sizable film and television company. An Xu is gradually taking over the family business. This time, as the producer of a new film under his company, he was invited to attend the banquet that Ji Chuan was involved in.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Nuannuan took a sip of her coffee and smiled at An Xu: "Senior An, can you do me a favor?"... Afterwards, Xiang Nuannuan cautiously told An Xu about some things between her and Ji Chuan.
An Xu's dark eyes gradually dimmed as he asked, "Does he love you?"
Shang Nuannuan pursed her lips and did not answer.
Seeing that she didn't answer, An Xu sighed softly and resumed his previous gentle demeanor: "Okay, I'll help you."
"Thank you, senior!"
……
At Ji's Entertainment Building, all the employees were on edge because their dashing and charming Young Master Ji, who always had a wicked smile, had been acting strangely these past few days. He always had a stern face and exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay. When the department managers were reporting to Young Master Ji, they were almost frozen to death by his icy presence. Everyone who walked out of Young Master Ji's office was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat, exclaiming that they couldn't take it anymore.
This atmosphere lasted for a whole week. Another thing was that Miss Shang hadn't come to see Young Master Ji for a week. The connection between the two was ambiguous, and the staff were all looking forward to Shang Nuannuan's arrival.
After listening to the report from the head of the artist department with a blank expression, Ji Chuan issued a few orders and then dismissed the head, who was already trembling under the oppressive atmosphere and covered in cold sweat.
Ji Chuan put down his pen with some frustration, loosened his tie, and stared intently at the motionless office door, as if trying to pierce through it. Time seemed to stand still. After a while, Ji Chuan finally blinked his dry and red eyes and let out a frustrated sigh.
Why hasn't Nuan Nuan come to see me? Ji Chuan turned to look at his handsome face through the floor-to-ceiling window, his beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, a charming smile playing on his lips. He nodded, self-evaluating, "So handsome~" But then he remembered when he called Shang Nuan Nuan, she said she was spending the next few days with friends and wouldn't be coming to see him. Ji Chuan thought, are friends more important than him, Young Master Ji? For the first day or two, Ji Chuan wondered if Nuan Nuan was angry because he wouldn't let her go to the banquet. He finally relented and told Shang Nuan Nuan he could take her, thinking he could just bring her along and protect her. But the little girl stubbornly refused to go, leaving Ji Chuan completely at a loss.
Looking at his vast office, now empty except for him, Ji Chuan couldn't help but miss the girl who used to chatter in his ear. Unbeknownst to him, this place he'd spent so much time in over the past few years was now filled with the presence of another person…
On the day of the banquet—
When Ji Chuan saw the stunning woman who had captivated him, with light makeup, a pair of bright eyes that sparkled with a hint of allure, naturally red lips, and a long silver-white dress that drew everyone in with her unique charm, appearing arm in arm with another man, a raging fire surged within him, and his perfect smile almost crumbled.
Ji Chuan stared intently at the arm that Shang Nuannuan was holding, and with a wicked smile, slowly walked towards where Shang Nuannuan was.
Looking at the elegant woman in front of him, whose every move captivated his heart, Ji Chuan's worries vanished at this moment. He had only one thought in his mind: He wanted her!
He pulled Shang Nuannuan into his arms, then took her hand, which was still linked with another man's, into his own and kissed it gently: "Baby, why didn't you say you were coming?" After saying that, he gave her a reproachful look with his sexy peach blossom eyes, his tone carrying a hint of grievance.
Shang Nuannuan was momentarily stunned.
