Chapter 1323: I Look like His Elder Sister from Any Angle
By the time Yan Su arrived at the conference room, everyone was already seated.
Mo Liuxi, wearing clean pants and a hoody, was leaning back on the couch with one leg flung out in front of him, lazily staring at the phone in his hand.
Hearing her enter, he raised his eyes and said, “Ms. Yan, what took you so long? I fell into the canal too but got here five minutes before you.”
Yan Su wisely kept her mouth shut, refusing to take to the bait. She had nothing to say to him.
She now realized he was never going to stop giving her a hard time. And he loved nothing more than a spectacle.
“Oh, Come on. You’re a guy, and she’s a girl. Shi Xiang displeasedly spoke for Yan Su. “She has longer hair than you and had to spend a few more minutes drying it.”
“That’s true,” Ji Nuanyi nodded in agreement. “Su, sit down, please.”
Yan Su nodded. She and Mo Liuxi were the last two to arrive. There were only two couches in the conference room, and Mo Liuxi was sitting on one side of one of them. No, no, no: She couldn’t possibly sit next to him, so she had no choice but to sit in front of him.
“You already know the schedule,” said Li Ming. “Quite some red carpets are expecting us this time. The opening and closing ceremonies of the film festival, the screening of our film, the dinner party… too many.”
Yan Su’s head was aching. She had to see Mo Liuxi every single time she walked a red carpet. She had no idea how many times he would try to make her life miserable.
“For the opening ceremony, not too many people will be on the red carpet,” said Lu Tao. “If we’re going to walk together, you, Director Li, should certainly be in the middle. On your sides should be Cheng Sheng and Nuanyi, as our leading actor and actress, then Shi Xiang and Yang Ziqian. We’d better arrange for the boys and girls to walk together because it’ll be more eye-catching. As for me, I think I’ll just be on the side. I’m an old guy, after all. Liuxi and… Yan Su, you two can be on the other side. You’re about the same age and look like a sweet couple…”
“Who looks like a couple with her?” Mo Liuxi crossed his long, trim legs and interrupted Lu Tao, “Uncle Lu, how can you say that? She’s about 12 years older than I am.”
Yan Su was speechless.
Why was he being such a d*ck? How could he say that? Why didn’t he say that when he was pursuing her?
He said the two of them were the perfect match, at least visually if not temperamentally.
Men are such liars.
“Yes, he’s younger than I am,” Yan Su added. “I look like his elder sister from any angle.”
“Any angle?” Mo Liuxi laughed mockingly. “Which angle exactly?”
Li Ming rubbed his temples. He was losing his patience with those two and wanted so to kick them out of the room. “Do you two have a problem with that arrangement? If you do, don’t walk with us.”
Mo Liuxi rested his chin on his right palm and said, “I’m fine with it. I just don’t like the way Uncle Lu described us.”
“There’ is an issue between Director Mo and me,” Yan Su said meekly. “Perhaps it would be better if I stood next to Director Lu.”
If she walked all the red carpets together with Mo Liuxi, she was sure her hair would turn gray because of how angry she would be.
“Why do you want to stand with an old man?” Lu Tao laughed.
Nodding, Li Ming said, “Yeah. You’re too young to stand with him. Don’t worry, Liuxi knows how to behave himself on important occasions. So this is it. There are a few red carpets that we need to walk separately. We’ll be walking in groups. Cheng Sheng with Ji Nuanyi, Shi Xiang with Ziqian, Liuxi… You’ll walk with Yan Su since you two are the youngest.
Yan Su wanted to die.
Mo Liuxi also wore a sullen face and also seemed unhappy with the situation.
“Since we’ve made the arrangements, now let’s rehearse a little.” Li Ming clapped his hands and said, “Find your positions, be close with the ones on your sides.”
Yan Su stood up and helplessly walked to Mo Liuxi’s side. After struggling for quite a bit, she put her hand on his arm.
