1932 Words
It was already dinner time when Shen Xiyan returned home. She was tired and sleepy, so she casually ordered outside and fell on the bed. Not long after, the doorbell rang. She opened the door and asked," Did you order the takeout?" Shen Xiyan nodded and handed her a huge plastic bag before running into the elevator. When he took the bag, Shen Xiyan was puzzled. I only ordered one set meal. Why are there so many things? She opened the bag and saw that it didn't contain the set meal she ordered. She looked at the address on the bag and saw that it was different from her address. It turned out that it was ordered next door. So Shen Xiyan dragged his tired body and pressed the doorbell of his neighbor's house. The moment he opened the door, Shen Xiyan was stunned. Why was it him again? The path of enemies was narrow. The man in the door also revealed an surprised expression. In just a second, he looked at Shen Xiyan with a serious gaze and asked," Is there anything?" Shen Xiyan was disgusted with the man in front of her. She raised the bag in her hand expressionlessly and said coldly," I live next to you. This is the take-out you ordered. I sent it to my house by mistake." The man turned sideways and took out a bag. "So, this takeout should be yours." Shen Xiyan glanced at the logo on the bag and recognized it. She nodded. "That's right. This is mine." After the two of them exchanged bags, they closed the door for convenience. However, Shen Xiyan turned around and returned to their own door. Suddenly, they shouted," Oh no!" She had been sneezing all the time when she was out of the house, but she had forgotten to take the key. Facing the tightly closed door, she had no choice but to ask for help. Although she was unhappy, she still pressed the doorbell of her neighbor's house again. After the door was opened, Shen Xiyan forced out an ugly smile and said," Sorry, I forgot to take the door key. Can I borrow your phone to make a call?" The man in the door was holding the phone in his hand. He nodded and handed it to Shen Xiyan. "Use it." As Shen Xiyan entered the Wang Qian phone number on the screen, he secretly sighed in Wang Qian wisdom. He had to remember her phone number in case of any mishaps. He didn't expect that it would be used in just one day. After the call was answered, Shen Xiyan said," Sister Qian, I' m Xi Yan. I forgot to take the door key and was locked outside." "Why? You're so careless. Where are you now?" "This is the neighbor's phone number in front of his house." "I'm going to give you the keys now. Wait at your neighbor's house. Remember, don't talk nonsense." As the corridor was quiet, the man heard the conversation clearly. When he heard the last sentence, he narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze across Shen Xiyan face. Shen Xiyan kept her head down. After hanging up, she handed her phone back to the man inside the door." Thank you." The man took the phone and said calmly," Come in if you don't mind." Shen Xiyan was a little hesitant. After all, it had only been a few days since the scandal had passed and it seemed inappropriate for her to rashly enter the home of a strange man, especially a man whose impression she had was very bad. When the man saw her hesitation, he revealed a teasing expression." What? I'm afraid that I' m plotting against you. You can throw me down with a shoulder throw. Don't worry, I do n' t know martial arts." Shen Xiyan smiled. Thinking that the two of them were neighbors after all, she put down her guard and walked into the room. "The man that night was your friend?" "No, it's a supplier." The man didn't seem to want to explain much that night. As he spoke, he pulled out a chair at the dining table to signal Shen Xiyan to sit down. "Let's eat first. I' m hungry." "Oh, okay, thank you." After they sat down, the two of them opened their own take-out orders. Compared to Shen Xiyan simple set meal, the man's take-out was simply a luxurious meal. There were all kinds of front dishes, staple food, soup, and desserts. Shen Xiyan looked at the man calmly enjoying his food and then looked at his own food, he could n' t help but feel ashamed. She lowered her head and ate silently. The man opposite her had no intention of talking after eating for a long time. For a moment, the atmosphere at the dining table was a little awkward. Fortunately, Shen Xiyan finished eating very quickly. After tidying up the lunch box, she asked," Then, where is the trash can?" "Next to the coffee table, you can sit on the sofa and wait." The man said like he was giving orders. Shen Xiyan picked up the trash and threw it into the dustbin next to the coffee table. After sitting down, he began to look at the room. The living room of this house was nearly twice the size of the Shen Xiyan's. If it was described as a high-end apartment Shen Xiyan temporary residence, then this house would be low-key and luxurious. While Shen Xiyan was speechless, he started to secretly observe the owner of the house. Under the illumination of the indoor lights, the man's face and facial features were more three-dimensional. Compared to the last two meetings, the man's appearance was even more beautiful, making it impossible for people to move their eyes. Shen Xiyan wondered, what exactly did he do? With this kind of face and that innate tough aura, even if they entered the entertainment industry, they would definitely become famous. As Shen Xiyan thought about it, he gradually felt his eyelids grow heavier and heavier, and unknowingly, he fell asleep. After the man finished eating, he realized that the person who was sitting on the sofa had disappeared. He stood up and walked towards the living room. When he was close, he realized that she had fallen asleep on the sofa. Shen Xiyan fell asleep. She didn't know that someone was observing her. Her thick eyelashes were like two small brushes, covering her fair face with a shadow. The man beside her could n' t help but think of her younger sister when he saw her. He suddenly felt soft. He found a blanket to cover her Shen Xiyan and entered the study. Not long after, the doorbell rang. Shen Xiyan still fell asleep. The man stood up and opened the door. The Wang Qian outside the door exclaimed in surprise," General Manager Xiao " Wang Qian's gaze swept past the Xiao Yi and glanced into the room. She did n' t see Shen Xiyan and asked," Why are you here?" "This is my home. Didn't you President Wu tell you?" Wang Qian could hear the sarcasm in his tone and shook his head in confusion. "President Wu never said that." "That's good. I thought he was trying to give me a woman again." Wang Qian smiled and hurriedly waved his hand," No, Xi Yan is a newly signed artist of the company. She temporarily lives here because Chen Feng..." Before Wang Qian could finish, Xiao Yi interrupted her," There's no need to explain. I' m not interested in celebrity gossip. She's asleep. Give me the key. When she wakes up, I' ll hand it over to her." "Okay, that's General Manager Xiao trouble." ###Chapter8 Wang Qian handed the key to Xiao Yi. After Xiao Yi took it, he joked," She fell asleep after dinner. She must be tired. She just signed the contract and arranged so many jobs for her. Your company is really ruthless. Even I, a workaholic, can't stand it." Wang Qian smiled awkwardly." She had a wet body in the advertisement today. She caught a cold. She had a cold medicine on her way back just now. It might have been because the medicine had gotten so bad, so..." "Lost?" Xiao Yi playfully repeated "No, it was soaked in water." Wang Qian found it funny. He didn't expect that Xiao Yi would think about it. He raised his eyebrows and explained," The little girl is very innocent. If she did n' t allow it, she wouldn't have been splashed all afternoon without a word of complaint." Wang Qian knew how cold Xiao Yi was. Seeing that he didn't answer, he felt that he had spoken a little more, so he quickly concluded. "Thank you General Manager Xiao today. Then I won't disturb you. Goodbye." After sending off the Wang Qian, Xiao Yi placed the key in a conspicuous place on the coffee table so that Shen Xiyan could see it when he woke up. Then, he went back to the study room. After he finished his work, he completely forgot about Shen Xiyan existence and went back to his room to sleep. It was the next day when Shen Xiyan woke up. She opened her misty eyes and found herself lying in an unfamiliar room. Something flashed in her mind and she suddenly sat up. She lowered her head and saw that she was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief. She looked around and found that there was no one in the room. When she saw a note on the coffee table in front of her, she picked it up and looked at it. It said," Your door key is on the coffee table. Remember to bring the door when you leave." Shen Xiyan glanced at the coffee table and placed a key in the middle of the table. She was annoyed. Why did she go to a man's house that she did n' t know and sleep all night? She picked up the key and quickly left this place that made her feel embarrassed. When she got home Shen Xiyan she immediately dialed Wang Qian's phone. She wanted to ask about what happened last night, but when she got through Wang Qian she said," Xi Yan, I was just about to call you. Fang Jiajia's "Celebrity Chef" wants you to do a show. It's a rare opportunity. I signed a contract with them earlier." Shen Xiyan was surprised that the show'Stard Chef' was usually filled with celebrities. A person like her who didn't have any works could actually do it, so she asked,"' Stard Chef'? "Why did you let me go?" "Didn't you see your popularity? Everyone is very curious about you right now. You also know that" Celebrity Chef "is mainly talking about gossip and digging into privacy. It makes you a reasonable topic." "Then do I need to make some preparations?" "You've been practicing your cooking at home for the past few days. There's a total of two dishes. Think about what you're doing. I' ll bring you the conversation part later." In the afternoon Wang Qian she brought a bunch of ingredients to Shen Xiyan house. After putting them into the kitchen, she took out a stack of information from her briefcase and handed it to Shen Xiyan. "This is the outline of the program script and question and answer session. Take a look at the answers that the company has prepared for you. If you feel that it's inappropriate to change it, this is a good opportunity for you to clean up. Explain clearly your relationship with Chen Feng and show everyone the real you." After Shen Xiyan took it, he looked down and asked Wang Qian," Do you know how to cook?" "Yes." "That's good. Pick two dishes that you' re good at. The ingredients in the kitchen should be enough."
