As soon as Enoch woke up in the morning, he played with Xia Ning’s hair. So Xia Ning woke up very early too.
“Mummy, shall we go out to play today?” Enoch hugged Xia Ning as he asked.
Xia Ning caressed his head and answered, “Today, Mummy has to go out and cannot accompany you to play.”
“Oh.” Enoch was a little disappointed.
Qiao Yu also woke up. He glanced at Xia Ning, “Is it publicity for the movie?”
“No, it’s an interview.” Xia Ning replied, “But it’s also for the publicity of the movie, The City of Despair.”
Qiao Yu’s eyes turned dark. He asked, “Will you do it with Lin Nan?”
“Yes.” Xia Ning nodded, her gaze fell on Enoch, “Shall Mummy accompany you to play next time?”
“Yes, yes. Mummy is hard-working.” Enoch nodded as he laid prone in Xia Ning’s arms and continued to play with her hair.
Seeing that Xia Ning was composed, Qiao Yu dispelled all his displeasure. Now that she did not care, wouldn’t he displease her if he minded?
In addition, that man was so much older than her that he posed no threat to Qiao Yu.
After breakfast in the morning, Xia Ning was about to go to her company by taxi.
“Let me drive you there.” Qiao Yu followed her out.
Xia Ning looked at Qiao Yu, smiling, “We are not going in the same direction. I will take a taxi.”
“Then I’ll pick you up in the evening.” Qiao Yu whispered.
Xia Ning shook her head, “You don’t need to. I’ll drive back myself.”
“Ok.” Qiao Yu nodded, “Call me if anything happens.”
“Okay. I’m leaving.” Xia Ning nodded at him and walked towards the door.
Qiao Yu stood still and did not move until Xia Ning disappeared from his view.
He turned to walk towards the garage as he took his cell phone to make a call, “Find out for me where Xia Ning will have her program recorded.”
The program to be recorded today was a talk show, Face-to-Face Genuinely, which specialized in inviting popular actors and singers. The program was organized to show only actors’ real lives.
The City of Despair was completed the day before yesterday. The recording of the program was too early to correspond to Zeng Jun’s style. But the marketing people had long decided on this episode.
This time, the talk show invited Xia Ning and Lin Nan, who were the hero and heroine of The City of Despair.
It was against Xia Ning’s expectations that Lin Nan would agree to attend this kind of talk show, the him now did not need to rely on this kind of program to make himself famous.
Xia Ning first went to the company to get her car and discussed her recent plans with Zheng Ziming. In the evening, she brought her new manager, Wen Jing, to the site of the talk show.
As soon as they went into the building, someone came to guide them upstairs.
“Sister Xia Ning, we can soon see the famous host, Li Xinyu.” Being a manager for the first day, Wen Jing looked excited. But she dared not act too exaggeratedly. She looked around as she gripped her hands nervously.
Xia Ning looked at her in amusement, “I’m the actress and you are the manager. I think our positions have been reversed.”
With these words, Wen Jing’s face turned red. She raised her head and walked forward in a deliberately poised manner.
Xia Ning smiled, “Don’t be nervous. Everyone is like this for the first time.”
The staff member brought Xia Ning to the recording hall on the fifth floor. As soon as Xia Ning came in, she saw Lin Nan sitting inside. Next to him, a woman seemed to be sitting there as well. Before Xia Ning had time to see her appearance clearly, another staff member came up to her and blocked her view.
“You are Miss Xia, right? You are late. Your schedule has been canceled today. Please go back.”
