A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 251: Encounter!

If "Voice of Dreams" and "Dragon Soaring" brought Mu Yan into the public eye, then "Pure Consort" thoroughly helped her gain fame.Moreover, the great sales of the IOC product made her a new rising star in the advertising industry.

In just a short time, her Weibo followers quickly reached six hundred and fifty thousand, and public appearances, endorsements, and film offers poured in.

After returning to Upper City, Mu Yan rested for only one day before diving back into non-stop work.

After the event ended in the afternoon, Song Cheng’an picked her up to do makeup, and around 7:30, the two went together to the IOC cocktail party.

Tonight is the anniversary of IOC, attended by high-profile figures from various circles.

Mu Yan was invited as a spokesperson.

When she and Song Cheng’an arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall, they encountered Ning Shishen.

"Boss Ning, how honorable it is for you to personally greet us?" Song Cheng’an stepped forward to greet him.

"Young Master Song is a rare guest; I definitely had to greet you personally." Ning Shishen smiled and looked at Mu Yan, "Miss Mu, long time no see."

"Mr. Ning." Mu Yan nodded slightly.

"Please, the two of you." Ning Shishen stepped aside and gestured with his hand.

Mu Yan nodded and followed Song Cheng’an inside, while Ning Shishen also followed them in.

Inside the banquet hall, people from all sides were toasting and conversing, the noise continuous.

The arrival of Mu Yan immediately attracted a lot of attention, but since Song Cheng’an was by her side,

even if someone was interested, they dared not strike up a conversation.

Soon, the banquet began, and the guests took their seats.

Ning Shishen went on stage to speak, and the audience fell silent.

Mu Yan, following Song Cheng’an, sat at a seat towards the back and ate, when Ning Ze suddenly sat down beside them.

"Brother Song, Sister-in-law, I’ve been looking for you two for ages."

Mu Yan was startled and choked on her food.

"Cough, cough..." She covered her mouth, coughing softly.

"Are you okay, Sister-in-law?" Ning Ze looked concerned.

Mu Yan shook her head, "I’m fine."

She added, "Can you please not call me that?"

It feels so awkward!

Ning Ze looked around and realized, "Oh, right, there are too many people; I should speak quietly."

Mu Yan, "..."

Can’t he not misunderstand her meaning?

"Ning Xiao’er, look at how your brother can manage everything on his own, and you’re just a minor internet celebrity, isn’t that embarrassing?" Song Cheng’an teased.

Ning Ze snorted, "What’s wrong with being an internet celebrity? I neither steal nor rob; I built myself up from nothing, okay!"

Mu Yan chuckled softly, "Well said."

"Sister-in-law is the wise one," Ning Ze said obsequiously.

Mu Yan didn’t want to pay attention to him and looked up at Ning Shishen on the podium.

He appeared calm and dignified, his gestures exuding a mature and steady aura.

Such a person is indeed suited to be a superior.

Suddenly, Ning Shishen’s gaze shifted over, and he said aloud, "The achievements of IOC today not only rely on the encouragement and support of shareholders and peers but also on a great number of talented individuals. Today, a designer with a special identity is also present."

Meeting Ning Shishen’s gaze, Mu Yan had a bad feeling and suddenly stood up and started walking out.

"Mu Yan, where are you going?" Song Cheng’an asked.

"The restroom!" Mu Yan threw out the words, leaving without looking back.

On stage, Ning Shishen watched Mu Yan’s retreating back, his eyes darkening slightly, but soon, he continued his speech.

Mu Yan exited the banquet hall and exhaled lightly.

She wasn’t sure if Ning Shishen was referring to her, but she didn’t dare to take the risk.

A person who can’t pick up a paintbrush doesn’t have the right to call themselves a designer.

Mu Yan walked towards the restroom, raising her eyes to see a man and a woman laughing by the window, standing very close and looking quite intimate.

As if sensing someone approaching, the man instinctively looked up, and his expression changed instantly.
