Chapter 534
arted person was very conflicted throughout the entire ride. Cai Xiao Jing then pulled out her trump card, "Warmth, you should think about it. Soon, you'll see Han Bi. Do you want her to see that you'...Chapter 534
"Elder brother, you go ahead and I'll wait for a bit. Have you made any plans" Tan Run smiled slightly, "I can wait by myself."
"Don't be silly. My date just ended; let me take you home in my car since it's on the way," Du Di said as he opened the door of his car and held her close. Tan Run didn’t refuse to go with him.
Ye Feimo clenched his fists tightly. It was indeed Du Di.
This late at night, did he come to pick her up
Had they developed such an intimate relationship already
His heart felt like it was being scorched in a furnace and was about to turn to ashes.
When Long Chengtian got home, Tan Run had already been reading for a while. Every day she insisted on reading books for one hour; this habit started when she was young. Her reading tastes were diverse; she loved biographies and legendary stories, as well as novels. Recently, she had become interested in short stories and would read an hour each day, slowly savoring them.
When she was reading, her restless mind became calm.
"You're back so early. Did you not enjoy yourself"
"It's late now; it was your return that was delayed. My throat hurts and the place was stuffy, so I came home earlier. Elder brother, did you drink a lot of alcohol You smell like liquor; I'll prepare some sobering soup for you." Tan Run put down her magazine and got up to make some sobering soup for him. Long Chengtian's face would flush easily after drinking even a small amount of alcohol, and now his whole body was red with the smell of liquor.
He doesn't usually drink much, but today he seems to have found kindred spirits and got quite carried away.
The soup to sober up is very well prepared, warm brought it over, saying, "It's no good to drink too much. You turn red easily when you drink."
"I'm fine," Long Chengtian waved his hand. Warm smiled and asked, "Who did you go drinking with"
"A friend I haven't seen in a long time." Long Chengtian chuckled, "Wu Shuang also knows him. We had fun so we drank more, but this woman is having such a good time she doesn't want to go home for the New Year."
It was almost New Year's and the parents of the Mo family were all in Rome celebrating the holiday. Wu Shuang alone was still traveling abroad. This year she really was acting unusual, what could Egypt possibly have that made her linger there.
Warm smiled, her brother missed Wu Shuang.
Indeed, it had been a long time since they saw each other and they hadn't even talked on the phone recently.
She could tell that her brother liked Wu Shuang, really liked her. Living together these days, she also knew that Wu Shuang had killed his ex-lover, but for whatever reason he chose not to mind it.
"Brother, there's something I want to discuss with you," seeing him drink the soup to sober up, Warm hesitated for a long time before finally speaking. Long Chengtian raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is it"
Warm said, "I want to return to City A after graduation."
Long Chengtian frowned, "Aren't you planning on staying in Hollywood"
"I thought about it, and I believe that my development would be more suitable in China. After graduation, I plan to return home. Hollywood isn't right for me; being able to film one movie or American TV series is already sufficient for me. Experiencing the work attitude and environment of Western directors, artists, and staff has satisfied me. This place is not our Chinese territory after all."
It's not that she lacks confidence in breaking into Hollywood; rather, it's because there are people and things back home that she cherishes, ties that she cannot let go.
Hollywood doesn't have those connections for her.
With concerns at heart, it's the same wherever one goes. It's better to face them with ease and freedom than avoid this entanglement.
To be able to look at him so closely is also good enough; back then, divorcing was fine, but coming abroad wasn't necessary. Now that she has come to a warm understanding of things.
Long Chengtian remembered Wanmeng's sobbing on the balcony and couldn't bear to refuse her.
"You decide for yourself."
"Thanks, Brother." Wanmeng said. "We will go to Long Manor for the New Year’s holiday in two days. I'll spend a good year with you. Of course, if you're going to Rome, it's okay for me to stay alone at Long Manor."
“Nonsense, of course I’m spending the holiday with you.” Long Chengtian immediately objected.
Wanmeng chuckled softly, “Alright then. You said so yourself.”
Long Chengtian harrumphed heavily.
Egypt.
In order to blend in, Wu Shuang dressed herself up like an Egyptian woman. She braided her hair into two twists and secured them with hairpins. The ends of the headscarf were wrapped around the buns and woven together with her hair, forming a petal-like shape at the end. She then wrapped it with a matching scarf and fixed it in front with pins to highlight the alluring contours of her face, like a brilliant flame burning alone under the scorching sun.
A long shirt and skirt made her look particularly charming.
She had been in Egypt for a week, having already explored every interesting place. Once she got tired of it, she settled down in Cairo.
This was truly a carefree life without any牽掛s, not feeling lonely even while traveling alone. She lived by the Nile, waking up to sunshine in the morning, admiring the cityscape of Cairo at noon, and taking a night cruise on the Nile with Pharaoh boats as dusk fell, living a pleasant and undisturbed life.
She knew that Ka Ka and Long Chengtian were looking for her. She had gotten a new phone number which Gui Mian and Mo Yao knew about. After all, while playing was one thing, work still needed to be handled. Many matters required direct reports to Mo Yao, and some needed instructions from Gui Mian.
Although she was having fun in Egypt, she still kept an eye on the Middle East situation. On normal days, besides handling her work, there wasn't much else for her to do. Therefore, it made sense to pay attention to these matters.
Gui Mian was very capable and could handle the Mafia's affairs in the Middle East alone, doing things cautiously without any mishaps. Mo Yao praised him highly.
She tried to avoid news about the First Terrorist Organization but couldn't completely ignore it since it involved the Middle East. She knew a bit about what was happening between them and the North American government. The First Terrorist Organization's retaliation plunged North America into a state of fear, with terror incidents frequently occurring, leading to increasing unrest in that region.
The European powers were merely watching from the sidelines, observing developments without getting involved. The Defense Minister had secretly visited British royal officials to discuss ways to deal with the First Terrorist Organization. Many people knew about the organization's presence in Britain due to frequent interactions among its important leaders.
Even knowing that they were in London didn't necessarily mean they could act as wished.s gait instantly aged.Cheng Anya saw him about to collapse at any moment and was extremely worried, unable to help but support him.She quickly bade farewell to Aunt Wen before taking Ye Feimo out of t...
