Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“Don’t be fooled by the glitz and glamor of some of the male celebrities. They may be worshipped as idols by the public, but a lot of them have sugar mamas. Some people don’t have the luck or the grit, so they will do anything to become famous. There are many men who abandon their original partners after becoming wealthy and important. They have all sorts of affairs with crew members…” Ji Nuanyi sounded agitated as she said these things.

She continued, “When I first debuted, there were many executives, investors, and directors who wanted to go to bed with me in exchange for popularity and opportunities. I refused all of them and relied on my own hard work to make it to where I am today. I’ve been around in this industry for so many years, I’ve seen all sorts of things, the good and the bad. There are many dirty things in this industry. Trust me, you can’t even imagine the worst of them.”

Luosang sighed. Even in the voice acting industry, not to mention the screen acting industry, she had experienced many accounts of sexual harassment because she had a pretty face. Yan Su would be devastated if she found out about this. The high school sweetheart that she was in love with was nowhere to be found anymore.

“Thanks, Nuanyi.” Luosang put down her phone and stared out the window in a daze. Not knowing how much time had passed, someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder. She was jolted from her daze, and a train attendant was staring at her. “Are you Xu Luosang?”

She nodded. The attendant said, “A gentleman purchased a bunk ticket for you on this train service. Please follow me.”

Luosang was stunned. The auntie in front of her suddenly said, “Who is she? You guys are inviting her there yourself?”

“The superiors ordered us to.” The attendant gave an awkward smile. “Miss Xu, this way, please. Let me help you with your luggage.”

“Ok.” Luosang was stunned. She figured that it was Nian Junting’s arrangement. He had expressed his strong disapproval of her travel arrangements earlier over the phone. She really had to give it to this guy, he could find her even when she was on a train.

She followed the attendant and entered a booth. It was a four-bunk carriage, but she was the only passenger there. There were oranges, bananas, and all sorts of fruit laid on the table. Although it wasn’t much, it felt like a world of difference to her.

“There won’t be other passengers joining you on this ride. Please make yourself comfortable. We will deliver lunch, dinner, and supper to you later,” the attendant explained before she walked away.

…

At the airport, Nian Junting received a call from the train company, and they informed him that they had made the due arrangements that he had requested. He breathed a sigh of relief, and he prepared to board the plane in peace.

An Lan couldn’t help but laugh at him. “Mr. Nian, you really go all out for Miss Xu, don’t you? You asked me to put on an act with you and treated me to a trip to Beijing and all. You were so worried about her sitting on a hard seat, it’s not even that big of a deal. If I remember correctly, you used to take trains like that all the time when you were serving in the military.”

“How could she compare to me?” Nian Junting grunted. “I’m a man, I can take hardships.”

An Lan sighed. She was envious of Luosang. It was a blissful thing to be loved by a man like that. She was clear on the fact that she would not interfere with something that didn’t belong to her.

“Mr. Nian, I got it.” Lu Kang walked over with his phone. “I heard that Miss Xu had some conflict with Shi Xiang. He is a very popular singer in Asia right now.”

Nian Junting frowned. “How dare he have any conflict with my woman? Doesn’t he know that she is my girlfriend?”

Lu Kang cleared his throat. “The public knows that you two have broken up.”
