Chapter 700: 700 What Kind of Relationship Do We Have? (3)_1
Eleven thought, anyone who dares to speak ill of Xiao Man in front of her in the future, she decidedly won’t tolerate it.
It was understandable that Ye Yang was difficult to cater to, being a man with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder could give rise to many complaints. But Xiao Man was such a good sister, yet she had been intentionally tarnished by others.
Xiao Man draped her arm around Eleven, smiling widely as she said, "But they aren’t wrong. I do have a bad temper, and I’m often difficult to manage. Don’t presume the me you’re getting to know is the real me. Over-expectation often leads to disappointment." She playfully tweaked Eleven’s cheek as if teasing a child.
Eleven saw her smiling face in the mirror but felt confused.
"Will Mr. Li... return? Should I go back to Ye Yang’s? I feel that I’ve disturbed you guys..."
"Don’t worry, you, interrupting Mr. Li? If he really wanted to do something to me, just a look from him, and you’d be out. He’s not coming back," she turned around to get a drink of water. "He probably heard about that drunk driver and happened to check on me when he was passing by. He also mentioned that he’s heading back to Mexico tomorrow night."
"Did he come here just to check on you?" Eleven murmured something under her breath. "God, the words he said, even with punctuation, couldn’t have been more than fifteen! Some websites don’t even allow comments fewer than fifteen characters, you know?"
"Hahaha..." Xiao Man laughed cheerfully, "That’s true. He’s always been a man of few words, and we understand each other so well that many things don’t need to be explicitly expressed. I’m used to it, he’s always like this, then disappears. He usually finds me because I don’t know where he is."
"Are you coming to accompany me tomorrow? I find your company pleasant, you are good to talk to, and I find myself boring when I’m alone."
"Tomorrow... I’ve already asked for a leave from the company because I have to attend my graduation ceremony. I should be free in the afternoon... let me know where you are, and I’ll find you."
She was just over a month pregnant, there was no need to rest at home or anything. Fei’er would also be occupied in the afternoon, she’d find it boring staying at home. She thought it’d be better to spend her time with Xiao Man, and perhaps she could even get some juicy gossip.
"Okay, I’ll be shooting at the studio for the whole afternoon tomorrow."
P>Shooting?" Eleven’s eyes lit up. "I’ve never been on set before. Can I come?"
"Of course! Just come and report my name. Who would dare to stop the sister of Xiao Man?"
She had seemingly gained a sister, and Eleven was inexplicably happy.
Recently, she had learned a lot being at SA Company and refined herself. Once the graduation ceremony was over, she planned to resign from the Human Resources Department and put an end to this period of transitional learning. She intended to start by auditioning for minor roles.
"Do you know which drama I’m filming? It’s an anti-Japanese spy TV series during the Republic of China era, ’The Eve of Dawn’."
"Yes!" Everyone paid attention to Xiao Man’s dramas, especially since she had been working at SA Company and was familiar with the schedules of the artists. "You play a female special agent from the bureau of investigation and statistics. I’ve seen the promotional photos—so handsome, so dashing, mesmerizing in a qipao. I’m a girl, and even I felt my heart flutter when I saw you. Truly beautiful."
She wasn’t flattering Xiao Man—it was widely acknowledged that she was beautiful.
Xiao Man pinched her cheek, "Little Scamp, you’re making me blush with your compliments! Do you know who the director is?"
"I know, the renowned Director Ma Gang!"
"Come tomorrow, I’ll introduce you!"
