Shi Nian had noticed their little actions before. He shrugged and said with a smile, “You flatter me. You can ask Yun Nan. I’ve been in the country all this time and have no plans to go abroad.”
His ambiguous answer made Fang Xi slightly suspicious, but she swiftly let the matter go. Fang Xi sighed, “Either way, Gao Bei’s incident has been resolved somewhat satisfactorily. We didn’t have to pay any penalties because we were the victims, and we didn’t get caught up in the mess. When all is said and done, we have to thank our little lucky star, Shi Xiu! That girl is truly a good luck charm. I love her to bits.”
Yun Nan chuckled, “Then you can continue to be her manager. Many people are looking to offer her roles in scripts, commercial performances, and variety shows. You can check them out and make sure she doesn’t accept anything suspicious. I don’t feel at ease handing her over to anyone else.”
Fang Xi gave it a moment’s thought before saying, “But I don’t have much time to arrange activities and events for her! It’ll keep her from making money-Uh—”
Fang Xi glanced at Shi Nian—who was driving—and changed her tune. “I guess money isn’t a concern for that little cutie. Fine, then I’ll continue to look after her. ”
Yun Nan smiled and replied, “Then I’ll thank you on Shi Xiu’s behalf!”
Fang Xi gave a fake cough and joked, “I don’t want your measly thanks. What I want is a wealthy benefactor.”
Shi Nian chortled, “Then, would you accept my thanks, Fang Xi?” “That’s more like it,” Fang Xi sighed happily.
Yun Nan smiled and patted her, gently admonishing, “Oh, you!”
Shi Nian dropped them off at the studio, and Fang Xi was still squinting at his car even after it had gone far away. Yun Nan pushed her and urged, “What are you looking at? Let’s go.”
Fang Xi took two steps back and narrowed her eyes at Yun Nan.
“What is it? What’s wrong with you?” Yun Nan inquired and went to grab her “Silly girl, can’t you see that he treats you differently than others?” Fang Xi said solemnly.
Yun Nan didn’t take her words seriously. She smiled, pulled Fang Xi towards the studio’s entrance, and remarked, “Of course he does! I have a special agreement with him!”
Fang Xi let Yun Nan drag her along as she shook her head and sighed, “That poor man! The first obstacle he encountered in his perfect life is probably you!”
Yun Nan was both angry and amused, so she teased, “To be honest, with that kind of creative imagination, you really should join the scriptwriters’ team. You can be their boss.”
Fang Xi knew Yun Nan had a ‘heart of ice’ when it came to relationships. It wasn’t easy to carve out a place in her heart—it would take a lot of time and effort. Fang Xi lamented, “What a difficult romance this is!”
Shi Xiu bounced over to them with a folder in her hand. “Fang Xi! Fang Xi, please do me a favor!” she cried.
Fang Xi broke free from Yun Nan and said mock-seriously, “Looks like I have work to do. Boss, please go right ahead!”
Yun Nan playfully hit her and pointed at the folder as she asked Shi Xiu,
“What’s that?”
Fang Xi snatched the folder before Shi Xiu could say anything and told Yun Nan, “That’s for me to know. Didn’t you just say I’ll be the one to take care of her?” She then turned to Shi Xiu and informed her, “Your brother and sister-in-law have just decided that I’ll be your manager!”
“Yay!” Shi Xiu jumped on the spot joyfully.
Yun Nan smiled and said, “Well, I’m glad you two are pleased with the arrangement. Alright, go and have fun. I’ll leave you two to it.”
When Yun Nan’s figure disappeared around the corner, Shi Xiu patted her chest in relief and whispered, “Thank goodness she didn’t read it.”
Curious, Fang Xi opened the folder and asked, “Why don’t you want her to read
Shi Xiu quickly covered the document with her hands and spoke hushedly, “Fang Xi, I want to participate in this event, but I’m afraid Yun Nan won’t let me participate, so I’m secretly discussing it with you. Please, let me take part.
Pretty please! ”
Fang Xi couldn’t help but laugh. Once again, she was glad she had accepted the job of being Shi Xiu’s manager. Otherwise, who could rein this young lady in? She even dared to play tricks right under Yun Nan’s nose!
“You have to let me see what this event is, right?” Thus saying, she pushed Shi Xiu’s hand away. Her elegant eyebrows furrowed when she saw what was written on the document. “That woman still has the guts to come out and make a scene?” Fang Xi commented.
“I know, right? She’s dying for fame! I don’t care if she tramples on others, but I won’t allow her to bully my sister-in-law! I have to make her pay for it!” Shi Xiu uttered furiously.
Seeing how protective she was of Yun Nan, Fang Xi advised, “But this is a live broadcast. If you get into a conflict with her, it’ll also result in negative news about you. Are you sure you want to do this?”
Shi Xiu raised her eyebrows. “She was the one who sent me my first negative news. It was extremely despicable; she made me out to be a delinquent who had an abortion, took drugs, and eloped. Can there be anything worse than that? I’m a good girl! At most, you can say I’m spoiled, headstrong, and bad-tempered, but that’s my nature! Hmph!”
Fang Xi smiled and reached out to ruffle Shi Xiu’s head. “I like your nature! Alright, fine! I’ll allow it. I’ll help you convince Yun Nan!”
Shi Xiu hugged Fang Xi in delight.. “Fang Xi, you’re the best!”
