Chapter 24

“I’m coming too,” Lin Qianqiu said, rising.

Jiang Xiaohui was worried about his little sister, so he pulled everyone downstairs. They were all young people, so dancing was naturally not a problem.

In the private room next door, a group of people was drinking and chatting. If Le Yao came over, she would find that she knew everyone there.

Nangong Jue was the host, followed by his brothers, Fu Yunshen, Yang Jinxuan, Wu Ya, Hao Kai, and others. They were basically all fans of the female lead.

Sitting beside Nangong Jue was Yan Zimeng.

Yang Tongtong sat beside Yan Zimeng. She was Yang Jinxuan’s cousin and liked Nangong Jue. However, she was also Yan Zimeng’s fan.

Yang Tongtong was filled with jealousy and hatred when Han Binglan married Nangong Jue. However, if it were Yan Zimeng, she would be very happy to give her blessings.

This was where the powerful female lead’s halo came in.

The cannon fodder could not afford to be jealous at all.

There were also two other girls. One of them was the eldest daughter of the Feng family, Feng Xiaohui. The Feng family was at most ranked second class in Xiling. She had only come because she had a good relationship with Yang Tongtong.

The other girl was called He Ruiyi. Although she was a newcomer to the film industry, she was the niece of Lin Guanhai, the CEO of Guan Hai Studios. In the future, her resources would not be bad. She was Yan Zimeng’s fan.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Everyone was talking and laughing, except Nangong Jue.

“Ah Jue.” Yang Jinxuan looked at Nangong Jue. “Why are you so cold all night? You look like someone owes you something.”

Nangong Jue looked at Yang Jinxuan. “I’ve always been like this. Didn’t you know?”

The originally lively atmosphere froze. Everyone could tell that Nangong Jue was obviously in a bad mood.

“You-”

“Alright, Brother Jinxuan, Ah Jue has such a temper. It’s fine.” Yan Zimeng hurriedly interrupted Yang Jinxuan. “Come, let’s drink. I’m going to develop here in our country in the future. Let’s get together more when we’re free.”

Fu Yunshen raised his cup and said, “Sure, as long as the big celebrity is free, we will definitely be on call.”

“Brother Fu, you’re flattering me. What celebrity? To you, I’ll always be Little Mengmeng...”

“Alright, Ah Jue. Come, have a drink.” Yang Jinxuan regained his composure and raised his glass.

Nangong Jue did not pull a long face. He raised his glass and clinked it against his before draining it. Then he stood up. “You guys have fun. All the expenses are on me. I’ll get going first.” With that, he got up and walked straight out.

“Ah Jue.” Yan Zimeng hurriedly got up to pull him. However, his footsteps were too fast and she could not stop him at all. As he walked out the door, she was embarrassed and her eyes turned red.

The others had awkward expressions, but they couldn’t say anything.

Yang Jinxuan slammed his cup on the table. “What does he mean by that?”

“Brother Jue is in a bad mood.” Wu Ya rose quickly. “You two drink first. I’ll go find him.” Then he went after him.

“Brother Jin Xuan, I’m fine.” Yan Zimeng sniffed. “Come, let’s drink.” However, she felt abnormally uncomfortable.

Actually, Nangong Jue did not know what was wrong with himself either. It had been three days, but that woman had not given him a single message. This was something that had never happened before. He should be happy, but he just could not feel happy at all. Instead, he felt that nothing he saw was pleasing to the eye and nothing he did was satisfactory. This feeling had not appeared for many years.
