Chapter 389: Reconciled
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
An Nuo was afraid that Murong Qiao would really give up on her because of what happened last time, so she planned to nurture another person. She couldn’t help but say a lot of agitated words.
“I’ve been running a lot of jobs recently. I’ve also participated in many magazine variety shows and auditions.”
“She, she clearly just came a few days ago…” An Nuo wanted to say something more serious, but her rationality made her stop.
However, she was certain that the other party couldn’t compare to her. How could a person who had only been in the company for a few days compare to her?
However, An Nuo couldn’t help but think that since the other party could obtain Murong Qiao’s special treatment, she must have extraordinary talent.
A sense of danger lingered in An Nuo’s heart, making her not have so much confidence in herself for the first time. Jealousy filled her heart, so strong that it almost made An Nuo’s throat constrict, making her want to cry uncontrollably.
From the beginning to the end, the huge office was filled with An Nuo’s voice, but Murong Qiao didn’t say much.
She just lowered her head and signed one document after another, as if she didn’t hear An Nuo’s words.
When An Nuo finished a long speech and finally quietened down, Murong Qiao slowly closed the document and stood up from behind the desk.
Seeing her actions, An Nuo thought that Murong Qiao was finally going to talk to her.
“If you’re done, you can calm down and tidy up your emotions before going out. I still have something to do,” Murong Qiao said.
She held the document and didn’t look at An Nuo’s stunned expression. She planned to walk past her to open the door.
However, before her hand could touch the door handle, her body was suddenly hugged tightly from behind.
“I’m sorry…” An Nuo apologized softly.
Murong Qiao didn’t move. When she felt An Nuo bury her head in her back, her voice became soft.
This time, An Nuo’s voice was obviously sobbing. She no longer had the aura she had just now. She hugged Murong Qiao’s waist tightly, afraid that she would really leave just like that.
An Nuo lowered her head, her voice a little soft. “I just want to help you earn a lot of money. I want them to know that you’re right.”
She really couldn’t take it anymore.
During this period of time, the two of them had been in a cold war. An Nuo was extremely uncomfortable without Murong Qiao in her life.
The hotel bed was cold and didn’t have the warm and soft smell of home. Every night, An Nuo would take a long time to fall asleep after she was done.
She opened her eyes almost every morning and habitually wanted to say good morning to Murong Qiao. However, when she saw the hotel room, she realized that she hadn’t gone back to stay for a long time.
The pain and suffering in her heart made her desperate to prove herself. However, when she was so busy that she was exhausted, she couldn’t help but think of Murong Qiao.
Hearing An Nuo’s words, Murong Qiao’s expression softened. “But I don’t want them to say anything bad about you.”
She gave her blessings for An Nuo’s award, but seeing An Nuo rushing around for popularity and showing her face everywhere, she lost her motivation at the beginning. Seeing the comments on the Internet that gradually changed, Murong Qiao felt uncomfortable.
“I just want to see you fight steadily and get better.” This was also Murong Qiao’s true thoughts.
Seeing An Nuo get better bit by bit, improve her acting skills, and become stronger, walking a stable and spacious path amidst everyone’s praise, it was also the future that Murong Qiao wanted to see the most.
For the past few days, An Nuo had been running around, and Murong Qiao had suppressed the fans’ objections. She didn’t want An Nuo to be sad when she saw this.
“But it’s just to correct you. I won’t be angry with you.” Murong Qiao knocked An Nuo’s forehead.
She didn’t use much strength and even had a hint of pampering.
An Nuo’s position in Murong Qiao’s heart was so important that she couldn’t part with her. Besides, she was doing this for her own good. In that case, Murong Qiao had no reason to be angry.
Murong Qiao even smiled. “I just want you to be fine.”
An Nuo and Murong Qiao’s starting point was right. It was just that the two of them had expressed their opinions wrongly and had not communicated before.
“No, I was the one who didn’t speak properly and was also too aggressive.” An Nuo was even more embarrassed.
After quarreling with Murong Qiao, An Nuo returned to her house in a fit of anger. She stayed in her room feeling wronged and uncomfortable until her mother, Jiang Xia, realized that something was wrong. Only then did she know that An Nuo and Murong Qiao had quarreled.
An Nuo was still confused at that time, so she told her mother, Jiang Xia, about the process of their argument.
“Silly daughter, of course she’s doing this for your own good.” As an outsider, Jiang Xia could see more clearly than An Nuo.
She was both an adult and An Nuo’s mother. After hearing An Nuo’s description, she understood Murong Qiao’s intentions.
Jiang Xia thought for a moment before saying, “Of course, both you and her are not wrong.”
“It’s just that you want to help each other. You want to help her earn money and prove yourself. But you’re also putting the cart before the horse in your actions. Murong Qiao just wants to help you correct it.” She tried her best to simplify the entire matter.
“It’s because of your acting skills that you won the award, right? Then if you put your acting class aside now, after the popularity gradually subsides, there will definitely be actors better than you in the entertainment industry.
You can only continuously improve yourself so that you don’t fall behind anyone and maintain your strength forever. Then, be it the Best Actress Award or other awards in the future, you can have as many as you want.”
Jiang Xia sorted out her daughter’s thoughts, making An Nuo suddenly understand the knot in her heart. She finally understood the crux of the quarrel.
However, after realizing her mistake, An Nuo didn’t want to take the initiative to lower her head and admit her mistake.
She was mentally competing with herself, so she stayed in the hotel for this period of time and didn’t come back.
But hugging Murong Qiao was a subconscious reaction, and she couldn’t hold it in for a moment.
Murong Qiao’s voice was gentle. “You just want to work hard for me. What’s wrong with that?”
His smiling tone warmed the atmosphere again and gradually pulled the two of them closer together.
An Nuo humbly took Murong Qiao’s suggestion and adjusted the itinerary to half study and half filming. Her thoughts gradually settled.
It was also after these twists and turns that An Nuo understood the importance of acting. She was passionate about the acting class and asked questions when she didn’t understand. When it was time for class to end, she would ask the teacher questions.
In the huge acting classroom, An Nuo was still brewing her emotions and rehearsing with the teacher when a sneaky figure sneaked in from the door.
It was Ruan Ying, who had come to the company to find someone to play with, and Murong Qiao, who had accompanied her here.
“An Nuo looks like a different person. She’s so strong,” Ruan Ying commented softly.
She and Murong Qiao happened to be at the other end of the classroom. It could be said that they were the furthest away from An Nuo. Unless she specially looked over, they would not be easily discovered.
Furthermore, An Nuo was currently focused on acting with her teacher.
Murong Qiao was pulled by Ruan Ying and sat beside her. “An Nuo is very powerful, but she needs to be polished.”
She also admitted that An Nuo’s acting skills were not inferior to those so-called geniuses. As long as she calmed down and studied seriously, the results would definitely be good.
“But it looks so hard,” Ruan Ying said, holding her cheek.
Her gaze landed on An Nuo’s slender back view, feeling novel and impressed.
This kind of acting required hard work and sweat. Ruan Ying thought that it was alright, but if she really had to give it a try, Ruan Ying knew without thinking that she would definitely not be able to persist like An Nuo.
Murong Qiao sat beside her. Even though she was accompanying Ruan Ying, she didn’t forget to bring her laptop to approve the documents.
Recently, the company has been recruiting new people. Coupled with the fact that the popularity of the Prynne Prize had yet to subside, a lot of things had to be handled by Murong Qiao herself.
“You’re here? When?” An Nuo jogged over to ask them after class ended.
A few strands of hair were still sticking to her skin. She was already sweating from exhaustion.
Murong Qiao put away the laptop. “Ruan Ying is here, so we came to ask you to eat with us.”
“Eat on time, for the sake of your health,” Ruan Ying said in an orderly manner.
She didn’t know much about the entertainment industry. She had only seen some reports about actors working hard in the production team to the point of collapsing and was afraid that An Nuo would do the same, so she suddenly thought of coming over to find them to eat with her.
An Nuo couldn’t do anything to them, so she told the teacher to save the questions for the next class. Right on the heels of that, she picked up her clothes and went to the restaurant with the two of them.
The relationship between the three of them seemed to have slowly condensed into a whole as time passed.
Every time Ruan Ying came to the company to play with An Nuo and Murong Qiao, even if the two of them were very busy, they would free up some time for her. In the beginning, Ruan Ying, who once fought with An Nuo, even went to visit An Nuo when she was filming.
That was also her first time going to a production team. She looked around curiously and was filled with interest in those antique props.
“I recently discovered a fruit tea shop. It’s quite good, so I brought you a cup.” Ruan Ying was very straightforward and enthusiastic to everyone. “Don’t worry, you won’t get fat!”
After getting to know An Nuo, Ruan Ying also understood a lot. She also knew that actors needed to maintain their figures.
“Thank you.” An Nuo accepted it with a smile..
