Chapter 32 - Don’t even think about it (2)
By now, Huo YanXiao had already pulled Nie AnAn out from behind him. Holding onto her hand, he walked toward the outside while ignoring all the reporters.
His huge body casted a shadow over her. She just let him hold her hand and followed him obediently in quick steps inside his shadow.
Nie AnAn looked at the man next to her dubiously. She thought he was ignoring her? Why was he at the airport? And spoke up for her?
The internet news that he mentioned, was he the one who prepared that?
“Big brother.” Nie AnAn called out softly from behind him, “Where are we going?”
“Home,” said Huo YanXiao concisely.

“My luggage is still at the airport…” Nie AnAn was a little anxious. She had no idea where her luggage went to when she was surrounded by the reporters. Her nutritionist certification was still in there.
“My guys had picked it up already.” Having said that, Huo YanXiao had already led Nie AnAn to the parking lot.
“Thank you, big brother,” replied Nie AnAn obediently.
The man, on the other hand, stopped suddenly. Towering over her, he asked, “Why did you join the show?”
Nie AnAn pursed her lips and said, “Because I wanted to make money. The director told me that it pays $10,000 a season.”
“Why do you need to make money?” asked Huo YanXiao again.
“Because…” Nie AnAn’s puffed up her cheeks a little and said softly, “I want to move… move out…”
“You are not moving out.” Huo YanXiao looked at Nie AnAn’s fuzzy head. He wanted to rub her on her head but stopped himself. Recollecting himself, he said, “Don’t even think about it.”
“Oh,” replied Nie AnAn.
Seeing that, Huo YanXiao asked again, as though looking for a confirmation, “Are you still going to move out?”
Looking like she felt very wronged, Nie AnAn pouted and said, “I guess not.”
Was that a peace offering? Were all villain bosses like that? Even their peace offerings were so forceful, nothing warm about them…
Right now, back in the airport, Nie ChengFeng casually watched on as Qin ZiMing was surrounded by the reporters. His eyes darkened a little.
The Nie’s and the Qin’s had always been partners in business. They were supposed to go meet with a client in a little bit. Watching what was going on, he stood over to one side to wait for Qin ZiMing.
When Qin ZiMing finally lost the reporters and rejoined Nie ChengFeng, his always smiley face now looked impatient.
“How did it feel being surrounded by reporters?” chuckled Nie ChengFeng.
“Are you seriously making fun of me right now?” frowned Qin ZiMing, “I don’t know what was wrong with them today. They just asked me a bunch of random questions.”
Suddenly, Nie ChengFeng said in a serious tone, “I don’t want to say this, but our families will continue to work together for the next dozens of years to come. Who you choose and how far you can go will also have an impact on the Qin’s businesses.”
“What do you mean by that,” asked Qin ZiMing, baffled.
“The news that Nie AnAn was fond of you was leaked from your phone yesterday afternoon. And of everyone in the cast, we were the only two who have access to our cellphones.” Nie ChengFeng continued, “AnAn was but a regular person, no matter how successful ‘Gold Medal Inn’ was, her words will never carry remotely as much weight as words from a star. And yet, she made it into the top 10 most searched list. I don’t believe that could be accomplished without the help of a water army.”
Qin ZiMing was stunned a little, then different emotions flashed through his face. “ManGe is not that kind of a person.”
“No worries. Just a friendly reminder. We are done talking about that, let’s head to our meeting.” Nie ChengFeng patted Qin ZiMing on his shoulder.

At the same time, over at the Nie’s, Mr. and Mrs. Nie were watching the news.
When they saw that Nie AnAn was surrounded and bombarded by the reported, Mrs. Nie was furious, “What the h*ll was that? Look how cute little AnAn was. This was the first time I liked any girl from a variety show. This girl just looked so approachable. I can’t believe those reporters would attack her like that!”
Mr. Nie frowned as well, “Isn’t ChengFeng there as well? Call him and have him go help AnAn out!”
