Son, “Mom” Will Back You

Seeing that Gu Nian hadn't said anything, Luo Xiu took his hand back. "I can go change?"

"No, no need." Gu Nian quickly stopped him. "As long as your company is okay with it. You look good anyway you dressed."

"My company?"

"Yes, some companies had requirements with regards to their actors' clothing and hairstyle, etc. for the sake of their character setting."

"……"

Gu Nian noticed that there was a moment of silence after she had said that and looked up, baffled. She saw Luo Xiu standing outside her door, his head lowered, and his handsome face hidden in the shadow, seemingly a little down.

Gu Nian asked nervously, "What's the matter?"

After a few seconds of silence, he said in a low voice. "I no longer have a contact with Dingke Media."

Gu Nian, "––?"

It took Gu Nian a few seconds to process that. She took a step forward anxiously and didn't even realize how close she was standing to him. "How did that happen so abruptly? Was it…… because of the incident last month when we ran into Zheng Haolei in the lobby and you've helped me out?"

Luo Xiu knew that all he needed to do was to say yes to that and Gu Nian's guilt and sorry for him would be his best bet to break her down.

But……

"No," said Luo Xiu with a gentle smile. "We signed a 2-year contract back in 2018. Our contract ended organically when the time was up early this month. It had nothing to do with you."

But he didn't have the heart for her to be tormented by guilt.

The only thing that he could not use as a tool to further his purpose was her guilty conscience.

Gu Nian, however, was still frowning. "Your contract was only 2 years long. No wonder they didn't bother to invest any resource on you. For sure they did not want to prime you for someone else."

Luo Xiu played along with it. "Right. I had no value to them, so they didn't try to keep me."

Gu Nian asked, worried, "So you are a free person now? Have you reached out to any other agencies?"

Luo Xiu paused a little, "No, not yet."

As though she had made a big decision, Gu Nian grabbed his wrist and started forward forward with him.

"Let's go then!"

The little girl was excited like she had some sort of drugs in her. Luo Xiu was a bit surprised. He let her bring him with her and asked, "What is it?"

"I was just going to give this a try at first, but now I am very motivated –– the exposure on Gold-Medal Screenwriter will be a great opportunity for you. I must write some good scripts so all agencies could notice you!"

"……"

Imaging the scene, even Luo Xiu, one who was an expert schemer, felt a headache coming on for a change.

He said nothing, however, and let the girl continue to bring him forward holding onto his wrist to that unknown future. He had no idea what that future held, nor did he care as long as she was in it with him.

In the middle of the island.

An outdoor patio had been added on the top of the hill.

This was the prettiest location in the daytime. Blinding lights were being reflected from the ocean and coming toward one layer at a time as they smashed themselves against the rocks one by one.

By the night, the ocean waves could be heard continuously as though the world under the sea was singing inside each burst bubbles.

The program team build a safe and wind-proof layer of protection. The long tables were arranged like a buffet section and the few scattered decorative candles danced in the sea breeze that made it through the wind breaker.

The guests trickled onto the patio.

Gu Nian, as a brave person with a questionable sense of direction, successfully brought herself toward the opposite direction being the first time on this island.

By the time they corrected their course, she and Luo Xiu was along the last to arrive.

There were pleasant surprises for the night.
