Time that one wishes to pass always seems to fly by. Meng Nianchu felt as if she had just returned to Shangting for a few minutes when it was time to go back to the filming location.
After breakfast, Mu Junze offered to drive her there.
"I'm here already. You should also take good care of yourself at the company. Don't rush into things. Call me if you need anything," Meng Nianchu said with a smile as Mu Junze accompanied her into the stage and showed no sign of leaving.
"Okay," Mu Junze replied sullenly after staring at Meng Nianchu intently for two or three seconds.
He turned around and strode out of the stage. Meng Nianchu's smiling face instantly turned gloomy. She walked towards the practice room behind the stage.
Just as Mu Junze reached the entrance of the venue, he passed by a woman. He didn't pay much attention, but the woman called out to him, "It's really been a long time, Mr. Mu."
Hearing this, Mu Junze looked back in confusion. When he saw the woman's face clearly, he frowned slightly, not knowing who she was.
Seeing his reaction, ENYI knew that this man didn't remember her. So she introduced herself actively, "Last time, I was kidnapped with Miss Meng. You sent me back to the filming crew."
Mentioning Meng Nianchu, Mu Junze immediately recalled that incident, and his wrinkled brow relaxed a little.
ENYI smiled and said, "I didn't expect to see you here. I haven't seen you since that day. I thought I would never see you again."
There was a glint in her eyes, and her face was a bit tense. "Did you come here to send Miss Meng?"
The matter between Meng Nianchu and Mu Feng had spread like wildfire. ENYI naturally knew that Meng Nianchu was also on this variety show. But it was completely unnecessary for Linda to ask this question. Even a fool could tell that a business figure like Mu Junze would only come to the variety show recording site because of Meng Nianchu.
Or did he come here just for a stroll?
Realizing that she had asked a stupid question, ENYI didn't wait for Mu Junze to answer. She quickly changed the topic on her own, "I've never had the time to thank you properly for what happened last time. It's such a coincidence that we meet today. There's a coffee shop nearby. Let me invite you for a cup of coffee?"
Trying to look calm, ENYI felt her heart pounding like crazy.
She didn't even know why her heart would race uncontrollably whenever she faced Mu Junze. Maybe she knew the reason, but she also knew that it was morally unacceptable to fall in love with a married man. So she subconsciously suppressed this clear thought and just wanted to deceive herself and follow her heart.
It was already Mu Junze's greatest patience to stop and listen to ENYI talk so much. He raised his wrist to check the time on his watch and said coldly, "I'm busy."
"Just for a little while."
"Get to the point if you have something to say."
ENYI's enthusiasm was dampened by Mu Junze's coldness. She pouted and said, "If you really don't have time now, we can do it later. We'll surely meet again. There's no need to rush."
Mu Junze turned around and walked away.
ENYI suddenly took two steps towards him and said, "It's a deal that the next time we meet, I'll invite you for a cup of coffee as a way to repay you for helping me last time!"
Mu Junze got into his car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away without paying any attention to ENYI's words.
Watching the car disappear into the distance, ENYI murmured dejectedly, "Why is he still so cold?"
Meng Nianchu had no idea what had happened outside the venue. Leaning against the door of the practice room, she watched the trainees inside practicing the new dance that the director had required yesterday.
As a song was coming to an end, Mu Feng, who was standing in the front, quickly walked towards Meng Nianchu.
"Why did you come so early?"
"How's the practice going?" Meng Nianchu asked indifferently.
Mu Feng gulped down two big mouthfuls of water and said, "Not bad. Have you had breakfast? Do you want to go with me to have some?"
After the other four trainees finished practicing, they greeted Meng Nianchu and walked out.
With no one around, Meng Nianchu crossed her arms and got to the point, "What was that about the clothing style yesterday? It wasn't like that during the rehearsal. Was it on purpose?"
"Not really. Why does everyone keep asking me about this?" Mu Feng said irritably, scratching his head.
Meng Nianchu stared at him intently and said, "I don't know if you're trying to do something with the fact that you look similar to Mu Junze during this period. But if that's your plan, I advise you to stop while you're ahead. It's not a wise choice, and it will also limit your future development."
Meng Nianchu quite admired Mu Feng as a young man, so she didn't speak too harshly, but she still gave him a warning and some advice.
Mu Feng also became serious and said, "Okay, this was an accident."
"You should think it over carefully."
"Director Zhang Fan is quite protective of you," Mu Feng suddenly said. "As soon as that happened yesterday, he immediately changed my designer. I heard that he's also changed my makeup artist today."
Meng Nianchu's expression remained unchanged. She wasn't overly shocked.
Zhang Fan was always a dedicated person. He would do his best to ensure that the people under his charge were in the best performance state. He also cared the most about avoiding any negative news or excessive gossip that didn't fit the show on his program. Meng Nianchu was already used to him doing things like this.
"Practice hard and get enough rest," Meng Nianchu said as she opened the door.
Just then, ENYI walked towards her and came into her sight.
ENYI walked straight up to Mu Feng and said, "You must be Mu Feng. I'm the designer who will be in charge of your clothing from now on. I'm just here to say hello so that you won't be unfamiliar with me."
"I didn't expect Director Zhang Fan to be able to invite Teacher YI," Mu Feng said in great surprise. He had thought that for a relatively unknown young artist like him, Zhang Fan would at most hire a niche designer. He never expected that someone as well - known as ENYI would be hired to design for him.
He felt quite flattered.
Meng Nianchu greeted ENYI and said, "I didn't expect to see you again. The last time was at the filming crew. We're really destined to work together twice in a row."
Hearing what Meng Nianchu said, ENYI smiled slightly.
Mu Feng's stomach growled inappropriately. He had gotten up early and exercised a lot, but he hadn't had time to eat breakfast yet.
"Let's go and have breakfast first," Meng Nianchu said.
Mu Feng was also afraid that Meng Nianchu would lecture him about yesterday's dressing style, so he trotted towards the cafeteria.
ENYI also wanted to leave, but just as she took a step forward, she suddenly remembered something. She looked at Meng Nianchu, gritted her teeth, and asked, "I saw Mr. Mu outside just now. Does he come to send you every day?"
Meng Nianchu looked a bit confused, but she still answered honestly, "He usually does."
ENYI just nodded.
