Chapter 170 We’re just friends (1/2)

Ye Sichen pinched her hand, then loosed it slightly, “If it wasn’t me but anyone else, you would still exchange your body for money. This is who you are. Don’t look at me with a pitiful expression for sympathy. You are not those who are suffering.”

Xia Nuan realized his firm attitude and her hope gradually vanished.

Even if she had achieved great achievements, he still despised her.

She wiped the tears on her face. Then she calmed down, picked up the clothes on the bed, and put them on.

Ye Sichen looked at her with a little surprise. A few seconds later, he looked away and left the bedroom.

When Xia Nuan went out, Ye Sichen had left with the kids. He didn’t even give her a chance to say goodbye to them.

Xia Nuan’s heart was pierced. She was faint all the day. The next day, she cheered up and attended the award ceremony.

Ye Sichen’s finale performance caused an unprecedented sensation. The guests and the audience all stood up and gave him thunderous applause.

Xia Nuan was in the guest position. When she saw Ye Sichen shinning on the stage, she was frozen. By the end of the performance, all the guests walked on the stage. She also went there at the urging of Helen and another actress.

Once those guests were on the stage, they all walked towards Ye Sichen to shake hands with him. Only Xia Nuan was standing in the corner of the stage alone. She felt a little awkward and wanted to walk off the stage. However, she had to stand there and smile awkwardly to others because the stage lighting was on her.

“Ms. Xia, as the chief fashion designer for Mr. Ye this time, could you please share with us your inspiration?”

The host handed the microphone to Xia Nuan.

Ye Sichen’s smile turned frozen. He looked at Xia Nuan.

The guests on the stage looked at Xia Nuan and Ye Sichen. There was a trace of ambiguity in their smile.

Xia Nuan’s face blushed for embarrassment. She said softly, “My inspiration comes from God.”

Her reply was perfunctory.

In fact, no one knew that all of her design drawings were tailored for Ye Sichen.

The truth was, her inspiration was love, her love for Ye Sichen.

“Like love, Cupid’s arrow hits each other, and the good feeling will overflow in each other’s hearts, am I right, Mr. Ye?”

Ye Sichen just smiled and said nothing.

Only Xia Nuan saw the indifference in his deep eyes. Her heart was hit by it and turned cold.

She smiled with tears. Then she handed the microphone to the host, and walked backstage slowly, leaving a lonely back.

After seeing her leave, a glimmer of sadness occurred in Ye Sichen’s eyes.

“Xia Nuan, do you really want to go back to Aoshi City?” Lan Qing came to her, handed her a glass of juice, and asked with concern.

“Yes, I like to live there.” Xia Nuan had decided to go back to Aoshi City.

In the past, she looked forward to coming back here for his forgiveness. Now, she just wanted to leave.

“I’m available after the award ceremony. Shall we go together?” Lan Qing held her hand.

At this time, Helen came over and saw this scene. She frowned.

“Director Lan, are you flirting with Xia Nuan? So many women are with you, are you still not satisfied?” Helen walked over with one hand on Xia Nuan’s shoulder, and the other hand on her own hip, looking at Lan Qing with displeasure.

Lan Qing frowned and looked at her in the same way, “Shut up. I’m a faithful lover.”

“Oh, really? Last time when we shot a MV together, you had sex with the heroine and then the supporting actress of my MV. Anyway, all those beach girls had affairs with you. Xia Nuan, you were lucky that you didn’t become the heroine of my video at that time. Otherwise, you would be one of them.” Helen curled her lips and looked at Lan Qing disdainfully.

Lan Qing felt awkward, “Stop talking nonsense, or I’ll accuse you of slandering me.”

“I didn’t do that to you. Everyone knows you are a playboy.”

“You… I’m not. I’m telling you that I never…” Lan Qing paused and pointed at Helen, “Helen, shut up.”

“You shut up. Don’t tell me you’re still a pure virgin. I don’t believe it.” Helen separated him from Xia Nuan.

“Designer Xia, how about we work together? I can protect you from been coveted by Lan Qing. He’s just a male erotomania.” Helen said and looked at Lan Qing, who was not far away. A glimmer of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

Xia Nuan smiled, “Thank you, Miss Helen. However, I’m going back to Aoshi City.”

“But you haven’t designed costume for me yet. How about we go to Aoshi City together? Anyway, I want to relax for a few days.”

Helen said with expectation.

Xia Nuan thought about it and nodded, “You can go with me as long as it doesn’t delay your work.”

“How could that happen? Let’s go and book a flight right now.” Helen was always in a great hurry and did things she had just said without hesitation.

Her action was much quicker than Lan Qing. When Lan Qing contacted Xia Nuan, she and Helen were already on the flight.

Lan Qing was so angry that he banged his fist on the table at home.

Helen, the wicked girl, always seemed to stop the further interaction between him and Xia Nuan.

He had been in this circle for more than ten years. However, he had never really had a girlfriend. Moreover, Ye Sichen was the one he frequently cooperated with. Long-termly influenced by him, Lan Qing had become self-disciplined just like him. He would never have affairs with women like Lacy.

Although his appearance seemed debauched, he totally rejected those unspoken rules and the style of sleeping around.
