Chapter 104: Let Her Be

Chapter 104: Let Her Be

Chu Qichen's face darkened, and that authoritative air surfaced again.

Only then did An Wen realize what she had said, and panic rose in her heart. She sat up even straighter.

She had accidentally let her inner thoughts slip out. As expected, she needed to stay completely calm in front of Mr. Chu.

An Wen sat upright obediently, facing forward, her eyes occasionally darting toward Chu Qichen.

Chu Qichen's expression was gloomy, and he said nothing for a long time. An Wen felt awkward and turned on the TV with the remote.

Voices came from the TV, and An Wen felt the atmosphere was much more relaxed, though Chu Qichen's expression was still very grim.

"Am I really that fierce?" Chu Qichen suddenly asked.

"Not really, you're not that fierce." An Wen wore a smile on her face, as if she had just said nothing at all.

"Didn't you just say I was like a homeroom teacher? Has your homeroom teacher ever been fierce to you?" Chu Qichen looked at An Wen, his expression entirely serious.

An Wen was left speechless, 'Why was his expression so serious!'

"No, I don't go to school often. How could the homeroom teacher be fierce to me?" An Wen decided to deny it to the very end.

"You might not believe it if I told you, but you are definitely hearing things!"

Chu Qichen wanted to say something else, but An Wen suddenly grabbed his hand with her slender, fair, and delicate own, leaving Chu Qichen stunned.

"Look, this is the TV drama I filmed." An Wen beamed.

Tomato Channel would rerun the previous night's episode Ding Qian kun in the afternoon.

Chu Qichen looked toward the TV. In it, An Wen was dressed in white, with a long green silk ribbon, stepping on a green lotus, looking extremely beautiful during the fight scenes.

"We practiced these martial arts moves for a long time. My hands were bruised back then, but the feedback from viewers after it aired was so good that I feel everything was worth it." An Wen said contentedly.

Her peach-blossom eyes were full of laughter, shining with pure happiness.

Chu Qichen looked at her smiling so happily and remembered when he first met her—she was so timid, as if she would cry if he spoke too harshly.

Could it be that she became like this now because she became an actress?

Although she was still somewhat afraid of him, her courage had grown quite a bit, and she had become lively and spirited.

Seeing her watching her own drama so happily and contentedly, Chu Qichen swallowed the words he was about to say.

'Forget it, I'll just let her be.'

He looked at the TV, where she watched sadly as a man and woman exchanged glances, before she turned and left. Chu Qichen could actually feel the sorrow in her retreating figure.

"Why were you sad?" Chu Qichen asked.

An Wen saw that she had finally changed the subject successfully and let out a sigh of relief, and explained the plot of the drama to Chu Qichen.

"You like him?" Chu Qichen asked her

An Wen nodded and said, "But he doesn't have me in his heart, so it has always been unrequited love."

"Then his eyesight is bad." Chu Qichen said, defending her.

An Wen was stunned, and the look she gave Chu Qichen held a faint, hidden joy.

He was unknowingly cursing his own eyesight as bad.

After watching one episode, Auntie Liu had already finished preparing the meal, and Chu Qichen and An Wen ate dinner.

An Wen saw that he still hadn't spoken and asked, "Mr. Chu, didn't you say you had something to tell me?"

"Not anymore." Chu Qichen said.

An Wen looked puzzled, but since Chu Qichen wouldn't say, she couldn't press him, so she continued eating.

After finishing her meal, An Wen sat on the sofa and played with her phone.

On Weibo, the topics "An Wen Steals Endorsement" and "Chu Lei" were still trending. Chu Lei had just posted a travel Weibo with the caption "Spring is so nice (smiley face)," accompanied by a nine-grid photo layout of beautiful pictures.

Netizens all rushed to praise her beauty.

"The goddess is so beautiful."

"Have a good time, don't let certain trash ruin your mood."
