Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After the cast iron blossoms last time, Yang Jia and the others had great respect for every episode’s culture. Therefore, when facing the members of the Water Town Community Drama, they did not have the slightest bit of arrogance because they had become popular. Instead, they became even more humble.

When the audience in the live-stream saw this scene, they had a better impression of Yang Jia and the others.

When they were filming the second stop of “The Vanished Beauty”, Water Town Community Drama, Gu Xiao and Chu An stayed with the production team for three days. Seeing that Han Bang, Jiang Xi, Yang Jia, and the others had already gotten used to it, the two of them left the production team with ease. However, from time to time, they would enter the live broadcast to check on the progress or ask about the recent situation over the phone.

Gu Xiao’s dream was to really get into a good university. Even with Chu An’s especially teaching her outside of normal lessons, she couldn’t completely devote her energy to the variety show. She still had to return to school with Chu An to study.

They had just reached home when Ji Chen called.

“Brother? Do you have something to say to me?”

Ji Chen said something, and Chu An heard Gu Xiao tell him the address of their villa.

After Gu Xiao hung up, he walked to Gu Xiao’s side and looked at her curiously.

“Does Ji Chen want to come over to see you?”

Gu Xiao put away her phone and walked to the sofa with Chu An. “Yes, before Ji Gao wanted to chase me out, my brother came to look for me and said that he was investigating something. Now, my brother said that the investigation has some results, so he wanted to tell me.”

Gu Xiao seemed to be speaking briskly, but there was a deep look in her eyes.

Although Ji Chen was trying his best to hide the seriousness in his words, she could still tell that he was in a difficult position. It was not hard to guess that it was not good news. But even so, if Ji Chen was willing to tell her, she would not refuse.

Not long after Gu Xiao and Chu An finished their lunch, the doorbell of the villa rang.

Chu An subconsciously got up to open the door, but Gu Xiao held him back.

At this moment, Chu An remembered that Ji Chen had called before, so the only person who could be here now should be Ji Chen.

In that case, it would be better for Gu Xiao to open the door.

Gu Xiao opened the door and saw Ji Chen standing at the door.

Ji Chen used to be a confident and cool gentleman, but now he looked a little tired.

“Brother, what’s wrong? What happened recently? Why do you look so tired?”

Ji Chen wanted to force out a smile to comfort Gu Xiao, but he found that he could not smile at all, so he shook his head.

“Can 1 come in and talk to you about this?”

Hearing this, Gu Xiao did not ask any more questions. She quickly nodded and turned her body to the side to let Ji Chen in.

She brought Ji Chen inside and found that Chu An had already prepared a plate of fruits. He had peeled and cut them into pieces and placed them neatly on the coffee table. It looked very convenient to eat.

When Chu An saw Ji Chen beside Gu Xiao, he hurriedly stood up and looked at him respectfully.

“Brother Ji Chen.”

Ji Chen’s gaze landed on Chu An. After sizing him up for a while, he retracted his gaze in reluctant satisfaction.

He nodded at Chu An as a response.

He had also heard about the matter between Chu An and Gu Xiao in the circle, but he hadn’t paid much attention to it before. It wasn’t until Gu Xiao left the Ji Family and followed Chu An without hesitation that he understood Chu An’s place in Gu Xiao’s heart.

After that, he even privately inquired about Chu An’s situation in the circle… He had barely passed his test! Therefore, he turned a blind eye to the fact that Gu Xiao was staying in Chu An’s villa.

Gu Xiao sat down with Ji Chen. Ji Chen glanced at Chu An.

Seeing this, Gu Xiao hurriedly said, “Brother, don’t worry. Even if Chu An knows something, he won’t spread it around.”

“That’s right! That’s right! Brother Ji Chen, don’t worry. As long as it’s something I can’t say, 1 won’t say a word to outsiders, even if it’s my biological parents!” Chu An hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Ji Chen when he met his gaze.

Ji Chen quietly took a few glances at Chu An before retracting his gaze and looking at Gu Xiao.

He was silent for a while. He really did not know how to start. He took out a document from his bag and handed it to Gu Xiao.

“Take a look at these contents first. I’ll explain it to you slowly..”
