Chapter 1473: Chapter 1473: I’m Not the One Who Feels Awkward
After Jian Dan came out, she went straight to New E Media, because she had promised Xiao Ran about something earlier, but her house arrest hadn’t been resolved yet?
"Jian, you’re finally free?" Yuanyuan said as she saw Jian Dan appear in New E Media’s lobby.
"What are you talking about? I was just staying at home for a few days! It’s not like I was locked up or anything!"
"Really?"
"Of course!"𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
"Alright then! If Jian says so, I’ll believe it!
Anyway, come on in quickly!"
After the two entered the company, they headed straight to Qin Rou’s office.
"Rourou, I missed you so much!" Jian Dan said as she rushed in and hugged Qin Rou tightly.
"Jian, did my uncle let you out?"
Jian Dan’s expression shifted slightly, noticing Yuanyuan laughing while covering her mouth nearby. Determined to tough it out, Jian replied, "What are you talking about? There’s no way Uncle didn’t let me out! I purposely stayed home to accompany him!"
"Oh! Is that so?"
"Of course!"
"Oh!"
"Alright, alright. By the way, where’s Mu Yi? I didn’t see him at all when I came in!"
"Oh! We moved the training camp to a new location, and he’s leading the team there. He should probably return today."
"I see!"
"Are you looking for him?"
"Yeah! I came here today on a mission!"
"Mission? What do you mean?"
"I’m here to play matchmaker for Mu Yi!"
"Huh?"𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"Xiao Ran seems to have a bit of a crush on Mu Yi, so... I thought I’d help them out. After all, Mu Yi doesn’t have a girlfriend, right?"
"That’s true. But wait, who’s Xiao Ran?"
"Remember last time, the one who helped save me? She’s got the best figure and is incredibly charming!"
"Oh! I remember now. She’s the one who’s really beautiful, right?"
"Fang Qing is also really beautiful, okay!"
"I didn’t say she wasn’t! It’s just that she seems a little cold, not easy to approach." Yuanyuan added awkwardly.
"That’s just because you don’t know her well yet. Fang Qing is only cold on the outside; she’s actually very soft-hearted inside!"
"Have you asked Mu Yi what he thinks?" Qin Rou asked Jian Dan directly.
"That’s what I’m here to find out! I think it shouldn’t be a problem. Xiao Ran is well-rounded and excellent in every aspect. It’s hard for anyone not to like her!"
"True, I agree. And when you take action, there’s no couple you can’t match!" Yuanyuan said with a laugh.
"Exactly! I’ve never failed so far!" Jian Dan proudly tilted her chin up a little.
By lunchtime, Mu Yi still hadn’t returned, so Jian Dan invited Yuanyuan and Qin Rou to eat together, and they also called Xia Mengjiao to join.
The three of them arrived at the restaurant early, but Xia Mengjiao was fashionably late.
"Mengjiao, over here!" Jian Dan stood up and waved at Xia Mengjiao.
Xia Mengjiao walked over with an unusually serious expression, her strides large and quick, reaching Jian Dan in only a few steps. She stared at Jian with an unblinking gaze, not saying a word or making any other moves, just staring straight at her.
Jian Dan felt uneasy under Xia Mengjiao’s gaze. Just as she was unsure how to respond, Xia Mengjiao suddenly hugged her tightly. "Wow, Jian! Thank goodness you’re okay. I was so worried about you! Mr. Chu didn’t let us visit you, and honestly, I was counting the days, calculating when you’d finally be able to come out!"
From Xia Mengjiao’s words, Jian Dan suddenly realized that not only had they heard rumors, but they actually knew she’d been under house arrest by her uncle.
So all her earlier explanations had been one big joke?
Jian Dan’s face turned red with embarrassment.
"Alright, alright. I’m fine now, isn’t that what matters? Hurry up and sit down. The food’s gone cold already."
In that instant, Jian Dan made up her mind: she’d pretend not to know, not acknowledge it.
After all, as long as she didn’t feel awkward, whoever wants to feel awkward can go ahead and feel awkward!
