Chapter 413: Want to Get Back to Your Side!
Everyone turned toward the sound, only to see a tall figure approaching.His stride was steady, his demeanor graceful, exuding the aura of someone in a position of power.
When Xiang Lanqiu saw him, her eyes seemed to spark with light, her heart bursting with joy.
She clenched her hands tightly, her lips pressed gently together, restraining her emotions.
He had arrived.
Someone recognized him and whispered, "Isn’t that the eldest son of the Song Family?"
Song Cheng’an approached Xiang Lanqiu and reproached, "I’ve been waiting for you in the car for ages, why aren’t you ready?"
Xiang Lanqiu was momentarily stunned, "Ah, I..."
"Alright, explain yourself properly when we get home," Song Cheng’an interrupted her.
He looked at the middle-aged men beside her and said with a smile, "Where do you gentlemen want to go? I’ll accompany you all the way."
Several of them quickly replied, "Oh, no, no, it’s getting late, we should head home."
"Indeed, we were just joking with Miss Xiang."
"What a rare sight, please pass my regards to your father, Young Master Song."
...
Song Cheng’an smiled slightly, "Sure, then I’ll be on my way."
"Alright, we won’t see you off," the middle-aged men said politely.
Song Cheng’an nodded, took Xiang Lanqiu’s hand, and led her down the steps.
A chorus of murmurs followed from behind, "How does Young Master Song know Miss Xiang?"
"Don’t you know? Xiang Lanqiu used to be Young Master Song’s artist."
"So does that mean the two of them are..."
...
Xiang Lanqiu walked beside Song Cheng’an, matching his pace, her hands intertwined with his, feeling almost feverish, perspiration forming.
Her beautiful face blushed crimson, though it was obscured by the night, making it hard to discern.
She cautiously sneaked glances at his profile, her mind filled with the domineering manner he exhibited when he held her hand, sweetness surged in her heart.
Even though, even though she knew he was merely acting, she was still very happy.
Arriving at the car, Song Cheng’an released her hand, opened the rear car door, and said, "I’ll take you home."
"Okay." Xiang Lanqiu nodded, yet she opened the passenger door and got in.
Song Cheng’an didn’t say anything, closed the car door, got into the driver’s seat, and drove off.
Not long after the car started, Song Cheng’an began to probe, "What’s going on? Do you still need to keep company to others at your status?"
Xiang Lanqiu replied helplessly, "Status sounds nice, but my studio has just been established, lacking connections, I have to fight for myself."
Song Cheng’an frowned, "Do you think they’ll give you good resources?"
Xiang Lanqiu suddenly smiled, "I don’t know, but you have to try."
Song Cheng’an watched her, weary from fatigue, remembering her early days, innocent and cheerful, focused solely on acting.
"Running a studio isn’t easy, you should sign with a company, many are eager to have you."
Xiang Lanqiu tilted her head to look at him, smiled, "Are you actually concerned about me?"
Song Cheng’an chuckled softly, "Yes, you were after all brought out by me."
A trace of disappointment crossed Xiang Lanqiu’s eyes, the kind of care she wanted was different.
Song Cheng’an took Xiang Lanqiu to her residence and said, "Li Yushen has experience running a studio, you can consult him more."
"I’d rather ask you than him," Xiang Lanqiu smiled, tentatively saying, "Why don’t you sign me again? It would save me from hitting walls everywhere."
"My small temple can’t accommodate a great deity like you, get some rest early," Song Cheng’an laughed.
Xiang Lanqiu nodded, "Alright, be careful on your way."
Song Cheng’an rolled up the car window, pressed the accelerator, and the car sped away.
Xiang Lanqiu watched the direction the car departed, feeling despondent; if she hadn’t insisted on leaving before, would things be different now?
But in this world, there’s no such thing as knowing earlier.
