Gu Qichen began, “It’s not really about work. My sister plans to start her own clothing line in Sea City, so I acquired an established brand as a foundation for her. Since she’s not familiar with business operations, I’ll have to stay here temporarily to provide oversight.”
Xia Yangyang was taken aback, “Is your sister coming to Sea City as well?”
“She will arrive in a few days.”
Xia Yangyang was deep in thought.
Remembering what Gu Mingzhu had said to Gu Qichen last time, Xia Yangyang felt a sudden discomfort in her heart.
She knew well just how important Gu Mingzhu was to Gu Qichen.
If Gu Mingzhu truly disliked her, Gu Qichen would find himself in a tough spot.
Xia Yangyang initially planned to learn more about her mother’s past from Gu Mingzhu.
But now, Xia Yangyang was even more reluctant to ask.
“Silly girl, what are you so engrossed in thinking about?”, said Qichen.
Xia Yangyang snapped back to reality and gave Gu Qichen a smile, “Nothing really. Anyway, where will you be staying once you get to Sea City?”
Gu Qichen chuckled, “Why, do you want to live with me?”
“I wish I didn’t have to live with you,” Xia Yangyang replied, slightly exasperated.
That was exactly what she was thinking.
If she stayed in the same hotel as Gu Qichen, she wouldn’t have time to study her script at night.
Gu Qichen seemed disheartened, “Xia Yangyang, I’ve noticed you’ve been treating me differently recently.”
Xia Yangyang was surprised, “Ihaven’t.”
“You must have let your recent fame get to your head. You’re not as attentive towards me as you used to be.”
How did he come to that conclusion?
Xia Yangyang was at a loss, “I didn’t, I really didn’t.”
“Then move in with me at ‘Liechen’.”
Although Xia Yangyang had never lived in Sea City,
she still knew that ‘Liechen’ was the most upscale residential district in the city’s center.
She hadn’t expected Gu Qichen to own a property there too.
He truly had multiple eggs in his basket.
Xia Yangyang replied, “I can’t. I really can’t. I must stay at the hotel arranged by the production crew, or else people might accuse me of showing off my status.”
Gu Qichen looked at her with displeasure.
Xia Yangyang tried to calm him down, “How about this, if I finish work early or have a day off, I will definitely come and visit you. Does that sound good?”
Gu Qichen reluctantly agreed in the end.
By noon, they had arrived in Sea City.
A global financial metropolis, commonly known as ‘Magic City’.
Land here was incredibly valuable, while houses were beyond most people’s reach.
Many people strive all their lives, and still can’t afford even a small dwelling on the outskirts of Sea City.
Xia Yangyang was astounded at the thought of Gu Qichen owning a villa in Liechen.
After careful consideration, she concluded that the most fair fact in life was that what many people pursued for a lifetime, others had from their birth.
In the afternoon, Xia Yangyang officially joined the filming crew at their launching ceremony.
The crew had also arranged for a hotel stay.
The main shooting location was the Sea City television station in the coming days.
The hotel was the nearby Shengting International Hotel.
After the busy day, Xia Yangyang headed over to check in at the hotel.
Shen Manbing was with her too.
Shen Manbing always travelled with bodyguards.
Mostly because her popularity was so high and after an incident with a fanatical fan,
Shen Shichuan was worried and assigned two more bodyguards to her.
Shen Manbing found this irritating.
Xia Weiwei also arrived.
Actually, the film crew had only arranged for the main cast to stay at Shengting.
The rest of the actors stayed in the crew’s dormitory.
Of course, this included Xia Weiwei.
However, she didn’t stay in the dormitory, she brought her luggage to Shengting Hotel instead.
Upon seeing Xia Yangyang and Shen Manbing,
Xia Weiwei walked over with a smile on her face, “What a coincidence,Sister Bingbing, I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Shen Manbing, wearing her sunglasses, glanced at her and asked, “Who are you?”
