After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 382 - 383: Got a Girlfriend

As she was applying makeup, Xu Xiaoyang began to explain the purpose of this shoot to her, "This time, our theme is fashion meets antiquity. I want your youthful face to clash with different architectural styles. We’ll start by photographing the old alleys of Houhai, then move on to some more modern locations..."

Because this wasn’t the first time she had worked with Xu Xiaoyang, Luo Xiaoqian easily got into the groove.

"Very good, very bright, we can switch to the next location now!" Xu Xiaoyang pressed the shutter once more, "Xiao Qian, is there something happy happening today? I can see the joy shining from your eyes!"

"Shall we go?" Luo Xiaoqian asked with a smile.

Everyone began to pack up the equipment and get into the car, when Xu Xiaoyang suddenly remembered something and then fished an envelope out of his photography jacket, "Here, this is for you!"

Luo Xiaoqian accepted the envelope with confusion, "What is it?"

"Open it and you’ll see," Xu Xiaoyang said with a smile.

Luo Xiaoqian opened the envelope, only to find inside a postcard that bore Leng Zimo’s signature on the back.

Upon seeing that signature, she was taken aback for a moment.

It took her a moment to remember that last time, when she had called Xu Xiaoyang, she had pretended to be a fan of Leng Zimo, and this card was what Xu Xiaoyang had brought back especially for her.

Xu Xiaoyang, thinking she was disappointed that there was nothing but a signature on it, said, "Don’t mind it, that guy always has been sparing with words. But honestly, having his signature is quite difficult to come by."

"Yes," Luo Xiaoqian carefully tucked the card into her bag, "Thank you, Teacher Xu, I really appreciate the trouble you went through for me."

Her tone contained an apology. The last time, due to unusual circumstances, she had lied to this senior colleague she respected greatly, and now had to trouble him to bring it all the way back for her.

"It’s nothing, just a small favor. If that guy didn’t already have a girlfriend, I would seriously consider introducing you to him," Xu Xiaoyang said, chuckling.

Girlfriend?

Leng Zimo had a girlfriend?!

Luo Xiaoqian was taken aback, "He has a girlfriend?"

Xu Xiaoyang nodded lightly, "Yeah, I only found out not long ago myself. They say she’s a very outstanding girl. He really kept it a secret; he even kept me in the dark..."

Luo Xiaoqian fell silent in her seat.

Her relationship with Leng Zimo had never been announced publicly, and the rumors from before had already been clarified. The person Xu Xiaoyang mentioned couldn’t be her.

Could it be that Leng Zimo...?

No, impossible, he wouldn’t deceive her.

Yet, what was going on?!

During the rest of the work, Luo Xiaoqian was clearly distracted. Seeing her lack of focus, Xu Xiaoyang didn’t insist on continuing with the studio shooting; instead, he advised her to take a good rest and they would find another time to shoot.

Back in the car, Luo Xiaoqian took out her cellphone from her bag and was hesitating when Leng Zimo’s call came through.

Glancing at Yu Tong, who was absorbed in her laptop beside her, she quickly picked up the call.

"I have just about finished with my work here and will be heading back to the office soon!"

"You should go home first, a friend of mine has returned from the United States and I’m going to pick them up at the airport. I’ll come back and pick you up later."

"Okay."

After ending the call, Luo Xiaoqian’s mood grew even more unsettled.

Leng Zimo personally picking someone up from the airport, apart from her, ranged from the famous director Anderson to Qin Lan... she couldn’t recall anyone else receiving such treatment.
