"The plan is to build three areas: the modern area, the technology area, and the ancient - style area. We'll try our best to make them fit their respective styles," Lu Yan patiently explained to her in a gentle voice. "For now, only the ancient - style area is completed. According to the feedback photos, it's a great place for a visit."
At first, Ning Anmiao wasn't that interested. But after hearing about the uses of this film and television city, excitement sparkled in her eyes.
Sure enough, Lu Yan didn't deceive her. When the car stopped, Ning Anmiao was stunned looking at the vast expanse of land. When he casually said he "bought a development area" earlier, she thought it would be at most as big as a large amusement park. Now she understood why it could be divided into three areas. This area was simply huge!
After getting out of the car, she was still in a state of shock.
Lu Yan took a few steps towards Ning Anmiao and extended his left hand. "Let me show you around."
When she placed her hand in his, the warm and dry palm made her heart skip a beat, and her heart pounded loudly.
The man walked slowly, never letting go of Ning Anmiao's hand. They strolled leisurely, truly looking like they were on a date.
The environment here was indeed nice. Since the ancient - style area was completed, all the buildings were antique, and the ancient atmosphere was everywhere.
She stood in front of a building and stared at the four characters "Hongchen Inn" engraved on the wooden plaque. For a moment, she was in a daze.
She looked down at her clothes and then at the surrounding scenery. She had a strange feeling of traveling from the modern era to ancient times.
"What are you thinking about?" He tilted his head slightly, seemingly eager to know what was going on in her little head.
Ning Anmiao looked up at him, tilting her head. "I'm thinking that we should have come in ancient - style clothes like Hanfu."
After saying that, there was a hint of expectation in her eyes when she looked at Lu Yan.
Lu Yan was tall and straight, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He would look good in any style of clothing. If he wore a blue shirt, with a purse and sachet of a noble young master hanging from his waist, and held a folding fan in his hand...
Looking at his face, Ning Anmiao could already envision what Lu Yan would look like in ancient - style clothes.
"Do you want to wear it?" Lu Yan hesitated for a while. Unusually, he didn't mock her for being whimsical. "There's a prop room ahead. How about we go and change?"
After saying that, he added, "They're all new. You can pick the ones you like."
Ning Anmiao's eyes sparkled with surprise. "Really? Then you have to wear it with me!"
The man was taken aback and was about to refuse. But the little girl's eyes were filled with starlight, looking at him expectantly.
It was hard for him to say no to Miaomiao.
"… Okay, I'll wear it too." He smiled helplessly and gently pinched her cheek. "You pick one for me."
So—
Ten - odd minutes later, a man in a plain long robe was dragged out of the changing room by a little girl in a peach - blossom long dress.
Lu Yan tilted his head slightly and looked down at his outfit. He was still a bit unaccustomed.
Although Ning Anmiao came up with the idea on a whim, she carefully selected a long - haired wig for men and put it on Lu Yan.
At this moment, standing there in his long shirt and with his long hair, Lu Yan actually had the charm of an ancient handsome man.
Ning Anmiao randomly picked two pink pom - poms of the same color and braided her hair into two little buns. She looked like an unmarried young girl, smiling sweetly.
The more she looked, the more satisfied she was. She bounced in front of him and stuffed a folding fan into his palm.
"Master Lu, you're here to visit the brothel again today?" She said with a big smile, looking up at him. "Which sister are you here to see today?"
Lu Yan couldn't help but laugh. Seeing that Ning Anmiao had quickly immersed herself in the role, he held back his laughter and said in a clear voice, "Naturally, I'm here to see you, my little sister."
As he said that, he bent down slightly, gently raised his hand, and tapped her forehead. "Little girl, what are you talking about with all this brothel talk?"
Ning Anmiao covered her head when his finger tapped her. She pouted and glared at him. "In broad daylight, you're being indecent to a good - girl. Master Lu, you're really a playboy!"
"It's just the two of us, so how can it be considered indecent?"
The two of them played around like this for a while and then held hands and continued to stroll around.
As they walked, they came to a bridge.
Ning Anmiao happily let go of his hand and bounced to the middle of the bridge. She squatted down to look at the fish under the bridge.
All that was visible of her were the two little buns on her head. She shook her head from time to time, looking cute and playful.
"Be careful. Don't fall in," Lu Yan said softly, giving a gentle reminder.
Ning Anmiao reached out to touch the fish, but the railing was built very safely, and she found she couldn't reach. So she awkwardly retracted her hand.
When she stood up and looked back, Lu Yan was not far from her.
He was standing by the railing on the bridge, looking at the endless river and the distant mountains with one arm resting on the railing.
It was getting late, and the surrounding environment was slowly turning dim.
In his long shirt, he no longer looked like the serious, cold - hearted boss he usually was, but rather an elegant and noble ancient young master. He was really handsome.
Who didn't like a handsome man?
Ning Anmiao was unconsciously attracted by him. She took small steps towards him and hugged his waist from behind when he wasn't paying attention.
Lu Yan was still deep in thought. The sudden movement behind him startled him. He quickly turned around to look at the little girl's face.
"What's wrong?"
Ning Anmiao didn't say a word. She just hugged his waist through the long shirt, and a sense of security and happiness slowly grew.
"Lu Yan, I think you're really great," she said softly, with determination in her tone. "Every time I see you, I feel that there's no one better than you in this world."
Her sudden confession took Lu Yan by surprise.
Lu Yan was very tall. He turned around, his eyes meeting hers. There was a faint smile on his face, and his eyes were full of meaning.
"Miaomiao, you suddenly confess your love to me. What do you want me to say next?"
His voice was deep, and his eyes were full of affection. He slowly took something out of his long - shirt pocket.
Looking at what suddenly appeared in his hand, Ning Anmiao's pupils suddenly shrank. She covered her mouth in surprise and joy, and her eyes were already glistening with tears.
Just then, the river surface suddenly sparkled. Somehow, countless river lanterns slowly floated up from the riverbed, making the river look extremely beautiful.
The flickering light made Miaomiao's face look especially pink and charming.
Lu Yan's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his voice was deep.
"Miaomiao, I have something to tell you."
