Chapter 740: Just Missed The Chance

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

When she was teased by Murong Qiao’s, An Nuo was still thinking hard about the script at home.

She could tell at a glance that Murong Qiao was teasing her about Murong Chen. However, while her face was slightly red, she could not help but prick up her ears to listen to the commotion next door.

Unfortunately, Murong Chen did not come here often. They only met a few times a month. Recently, she had been busy going to the production team for two to three months and stayed in a hotel. The chances of the two of them meeting were especially rare.

If she had to say it, the last time she stayed with Murong Qiao was the last time they had seen each other.

An Nuo, who was originally reading the script and thinking about her scenes, could not stand it anymore after Murong Qiao mentioned it. She then looked at the script and tried to continue to study it.

What was he up to lately?

Thinking of how the other party always came and went in a hurry, An Nuo could not help but feel a little disappointed.

This disappointment did not last long before it was dispelled by the manager’s sudden call.

“Hello?” An Nuo picked up her phone and answered.

The manager’s voice came from the other end. “The itinerary might have changed at the last minute. I need you to catch a plane to meet the production team tonight. I’ll tell you the exact situation when we get there.”

“The booked flight is in two hours. Pack your things and go downstairs first. I’ll get someone to pick you up.” The background sound on the other end was a little noisy, as if it revealed that the manager was busy at this moment.

An Nuo closed the script. “Alright, I understand.”

This was not the first time such a situation had happened.

After receiving the manager’s notice, An Nuo went straight to the bedroom to pull out a suitcase that was ready at any time. Then, she changed her clothes and walked towards the door after putting on some camouflage.

She took the hat and mask on the counter at the entrance. Then, when she walked out with her suitcase, she could not help but turn to look at the tightly closed door next door.

She did not know when they would meet again.

An Nuo pursed her lips and recalled that she had not even seen the other party the last time he came. She closed her eyes and sighed as she locked the door.

She walked to the elevator and looked at the other occupied and slowly rising elevator before entering hers. Without thinking, she pressed the button for the first floor.

The elevator door slowly closed. An Nuo was not in a good mood and was typing a message for Murong Qiao when she happened to miss the person walking out of the elevator next to her.

If she had entered a second or two later, she might have met the other party.

Murong Chen walked out of the elevator with a bag in his hand. One could vaguely see the cute pastry package through the gap.

He did not know which branch company gave it to him, but when he drove back, he found that it was in his trunk. Murong Chen could not leave it in the car, so he brought it back.

But this was clearly a style that girls would like—

Murong Chen was having a headache. When he returned home, he glanced at An Nuo’s door from the corner of his eye. Suddenly, he had an urge to walk over and knock on the door.

There was no response.

Not at home?

He gently raised his hand and knocked again.

After waiting for a while, Murong Chen suddenly remembered what the other party’s job was. He could not help but feel that he looked a little silly just now. He had forgotten that this neighbor was an actress who was even busier than him.

Since he could not find her, Murong Chen returned to his room. However, when he recalled that he had seen his Little Sister at An Nuo’s house the last time he returned the things, he immediately had the idea of asking her.

Perhaps he could find out An Nuo’s movements from the other party. This way, he would not have missed the chance like before.

However, as soon as this thought appeared in his heart, Murong Chen was stunned.

Other than his sister and family, when had he ever cared so much about them?

Murong Chen accurately grasped the fleeting thought and started studying it. Usually, there was only family and business in his life. It was rare for Murong Chen to have a confused thought. Then, he recalled how his mood was like when he knocked on the door and did not receive a response.

An Nuo was a special existence.

His intuition told him that it meant something, but it couldn’t be described precisely.

Murong Chen subconsciously thought about this question. He wanted to dig deeper and find the answer he wanted, but it was interrupted when he saw the email sent by his secretary.

Before his brain could continue thinking, his body reacted first. He began to receive documents and deal with the work that he had yet to finish during the day.

Just like that, that thought was put aside to grow quietly in his mind.

The night passed quietly.

Murong Qiao had just finished participating in Xu Xiuzhu and Shi Yang’s award ceremony and had yet to rest when she was immediately rushed to the second round.

Just as An Nuo had said previously, she could not accompany Murong Qiao this time, but this did not mean that there was nobody else in CG.

In this award ceremony, Ning Xiunian and Chi Hanjing were the leads of their dramas.

Ning Xiunian was already famous before he signed the contract. Every year, he would be a part of praiseworthy works. After reaching CG, he was no longer restricted by the industry’s so-called rules and regulations. He could freely display his abilities and was even recognized with this award.

As for Chi Hanjing, she was one of the most capable actresses in CG after An Nuo.

She had studied mime since she was young and loved it. Hence, she had extremely strong acting skills and was extremely talented.

Especially after entering CG and signing a contract to become an artiste, after systematic nurturing and learning, Chi Hanjing bloomed with the brilliance that belonged to her.

In addition, CG had enjoyed endless honors of various degrees in the previous year. The artists were blooming like flowers, causing both Murong Qiao, Niu Xiunian, and Chi Hanjing to attract many gazes the moment they entered the venue.

“Looks like we’re quite popular,” Ning Xiunian teased.

All these years, he had participated in hundreds of official occasions, so he did not seem to be at a disadvantage in the face of countless gazes.

Moreover, Ning Xiu had received many awards before. This time, instead of saying that he was here to receive an award, it was more like he was here to show his face.

He was no longer a newbie in the entertainment industry. The various awards and honors he had won after so many years, including the good works he had produced, had been memorized by his fans.

Some people even teased that at Ning Xiunian’s current stage, he was really just short of a Best Actor to retire successfully.

However, Chi Hanjing surprised Murong Qiao.

In her impression, Chi Hanjing was always immersed in acting and rarely had time to socialize.

Even Jiang Chi was impressed by Chi Hanjing’s focus on acting. No matter how busy she was every week, she would still find time to attend four acting classes to further her skills.

It was also because of this that Chi Hanjing became the role model and benchmark that the teacher mentioned to the others.

However, although the three of them were the center of attention, after walking in, no one took the initiative to talk to them. It was as if they were all watching and probing. The noisy conversation hid the contents..
