Chapter 616: Too Ungentlemanly

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After filming the scene in the morning. An Nuo felt that her body was no longer under her control.

She took a deep breath and collapsed on the seat in the van. She reached out to touch her red and slightly swollen ankle, then couldn’t help but hiss in pain.

She didn’t have many scenes today, but she was under a lot of pressure. There was a scene just now that required An Nuo’s cooperation. In the end, an accident happened and she sprained her ankle.

“Sister An Nuo, bear with it. I’ll use the spray. It might be a little cold,” the assistant said as she squatted beside An Nuo.

It was normal for an actor to be accidentally injured. After An Nuo responded and indicated that she was fine, she felt a cold feeling on her ankle.

It was a little like taking a sip of cold water after eating a mint. Her entire body, from her brain to her body, became cold. It was a little too much.

“Hiss—” An Nuo still couldn’t help but make a sound.

The main reason was that her ankle was a little delicate. She had endured her injuries and finished filming the remaining scenes just now. Now that she has time to assess her injury, she felt like she was about to ascend to heaven.

“This… Should we skip the filming for the endorsement in the afternoon, Sister Nuo?” The assistant couldn’t bear to see her like this, so she suggested, “You’re usually so professional. It’s fine to take an occasional leave.”

These words were sincere. An Nuo was usually busy all day, and everyone felt tired for her when they looked at her. The assistant really felt that An Nuo should find a suitable time to rest.

“I’m fine.” An Nuo shook her head.

The endorsement in the afternoon was the collaboration with the cosmetics company last time. It was also the branch company that Murong Qiao had mentioned previously.

An Nuo reached out and touched her ankle. “I’m going later. Saying that I’m taking leave now will definitely delay their time and preparations. Moreover, my injuries are not a big deal.”

Although that was the case, An Nuo must have been affected when she walked.

However, the only fortunate thing was that they were filming a cosmetics endorsement today, so it wouldn’t be affected by the injury to her ankle.

“Sigh…” Seeing that she couldn’t persuade An Nuo, the assistant couldn’t say anything else.

However, her impression of An Nuo had increased greatly. She felt that An Nuo was completely different from the Young Misses from rich families she had imagined. She was clearly dedicated and cared about the feelings of others. She was even more dedicated than many celebrities she knew.

As the assistant thought about it, her thoughts involuntarily drifted to a lot of gossip she had seen recently, such as celebrities going on a temporary strike to ask for more money, or actors who were hospitalized after suffering a small injury, and so on. There was also a lot of pornographic news…

The van fell silent for a moment. An Nuo also took advantage of her limited free time to close her eyes and rest to conserve her energy for the endorsement in the afternoon.

The person who was assisting with the endorsement with the branch company this time was still the same batch of people who worked with An Nuo last time. They were considered acquaintances. The two sides didn’t spend much time negotiating before filming started.

Moreover, in view of the considerable sales that An Nuo had brought last time, seeing that the other party was still participating in the endorsement even though she was injured this time, and she didn’t change her decision at the last minute, the other party was also very considerate and didn’t ask An Nuo to change her posture too much.

“Lean your body by the table and lie on your side a little. Point your fingertips on the essence.” The photographer also gave instructions.

An Nuo was no longer the same person who had just entered the industry. Her cooperation with the photographer this time could be said to be very tacit.

For a moment, the sound of shutters clicking could be heard in the entire studio. The process of filming the endorsement could be said to be very smooth.

Although she only changed her posture occasionally, she still inevitably touched the wound on her ankle. Although An Nuo controlled her expression and didn’t let anyone see anything, she could still feel the piercing pain in her ankle at all times.

When the endorsement shoot ended, An Nuo was about to ask her assistant to help her back when she turned around and realized that her assistant seemed to have disappeared, and there was no signal from her cell phone.

Helpless, An Nuo could only bid farewell to everyone and decided to take the elevator down first.

Unfortunately, her ankle didn’t seem to be too willing to work. Even the short distance from the studio to the elevator seemed especially long.

“…An Nuo?” An unexpected male voice interrupted as An Nuo held onto the wall and moved.

Murong Chen, who was standing not far away, frowned as he watched An Nuo walk unnaturally. Almost instantly, his gaze caught the red and swollen ankle under her dress.

An Nuo looked up and her mind went blank when she saw that it was Murong Chen.

Although she knew that this was a company under the Murong company, An Nuo felt like she was about to become an ostrich when she saw Murong Chen again under such circumstances. She wished she could find a place to bury her head and pretend that nothing had happened.

But when the footsteps approached, Murong Chen still walked over to her.

“Your ankle is already so injured. Don’t move.”

“I’m fine—” An Nuo was about to say that she was actually fine when she lost her balance and her vision spun the next second. She saw Murong Chen’s handsome face magnified in front of her.

After An Nuo realized that she had been picked up by the other party, she immediately blushed and tried to struggle down.

“No, you don’t have to do this. Actually, I can walk by myself…” she said in embarrassment.

Although this meant that she didn’t have to walk on her own and she wouldn’t feel uncomfortable, they were outside now. An Nuo thought of others seeing this scene and immediately felt the heat on her face increase, as if it was about to burn.

Murong Chen didn’t think too much about it and strode forward. “Don’t move.”

“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. If it were anyone else, they would help you like me,” he added.

Not to mention that An Nuo had helped him pick a gift for his Little Sister previously. Murong Chen had even seen her injured in such a place. It was not good to leave her alone.

That was… too ungentlemanly.

Such thoughts flashed through Murong Chen’s mind, but the soft touch in his hand and the fragrance that almost reached his nose pulled at his heart like a hook.

The smell was different from last time. It was a little like fragrant wood, with the smell of rain, and a little rose fragrance… Had she changed her perfume?

Murong Chen’s thoughts drifted elsewhere, but he still took the elevator with An Nuo and pressed the button for the underground parking lot.

Seeing that struggling was useless, An Nuo could only be forced to accept the current situation. However, she couldn’t let the atmosphere be too silent, so she took the initiative to start a conversation.

“Why do I feel like I can meet you everywhere?” An Nuo looked up at him.

From this angle, Murong Chen’s jawline was unbelievably beautiful. From his Adam’s apple to the top button of his shirt and navy blue tie…

An Nuo hurriedly closed her eyes and killed the colorful thoughts in her mind.

At this moment, Murong Chen answered the question, “I’ve been coming here recently for some work.”

“Although we might not be very close yet, it’s not a good choice to insist on working while injured,” Murong Chen said.

He recalled that when he met An Nuo, she seemed to be busy working every time.

The last time at the mall was after the event. Murong Chen recalled that he had even pulled An Nuo to pick a gift back then and suddenly felt that he had caused trouble for An Nuo again.

An Nuo pursed her lips. “I just feel that it’s not good to change my schedule at the last minute. This will let down the preparations and efforts of others..”
