I Am Rich

34

Guan Zhiyi went upstairs with the photographer team and other people to take a picture. Because the launch was about to start, they did it very quickly and hurriedly came down after ten minutes or so. Guan Zhiyi went with her agent to the banquet hall to attend the launch, while the photographer immediately went back to edit the pictures.

On the way to the banquet hall, Guan Zhiyi met Xiao Ran and Qi Chengyan, who seemed to be heading in the same direction.

"Zhiyi, what a coincidence." Xiao Ran greeted.

Guan Zhiyi walked over and glanced at Qi Chengyan: "Are you going to the venue too?"

"Yeah." Xiao Ran seized her up, "Wow, you're beautiful today."

"Thank you, you are also handsome today."

Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows: "It's alright."

"You're not cold?" Qi Chengyan looked at her dress and subconsciously asked.

She put on very delicate makeup and wore a nice dress today. The dress was a short knee-length dress, which matched her leg shape.

It is very beautiful, but it doesn't look like it can keep her body warm.

Guan Zhiyi shook her head: "It's not that cold, but I'm hungry."

"Hungry?"

"I'm starving." Guan Zhiyi whispered, "I just ate a little salad at noon."

Qi Chengyan wrinkled his eyebrows: "Why don't you eat more?"

"I can't, if I eat too much, I will not look good when wearing this dress!"

Qi Chengyan had some dissatisfaction between his eyebrows.

Guan Zhiyi said again: "But I can still hold on, I will eat a good meal when the event is over. It seems to be almost the time, shall we go now?"

Xiao Ran: "Okay, okay, let's eat together later, I haven't eaten much either."

"Mm."

The hotel’s banquet hall is very large, the front side is for the media and guests, while the back is for the fans who were chosen to come.

Most of the fans here are Xiao Ran's fans. When Guan Zhiyi and Xiao Ran entered the venue, an explosive scream came from behind. Xiao Ran was used to it and waved to them, which then triggered even more explosive screams. 

Guan Zhiyi silently walked towards the location where her name was attached, as she walked, her eyes turned to the back and surprisingly saw her name in a field of Xiao Ran light signs, not many, but they were gathered together.

She was stunned for a moment, and her heart suddenly became warm. She bowed a little towards that direction, then sat down in her place.

The main purpose of this launch event was to release the first trailer, let the artists come on stage to interact and create all kinds of news that will attract attention, then post it on the Internet to build momentum for "The Dawn and the Wild".

The launch event lasted for an hour and a half, when it was over, Guan Zhiyi went back to their original guest room at Nanjue with her agent and assistant.

Soon after they returned to the room, Guan Zhiyi received a message from Guan Yuanbai: [Cheng Yan had someone bring the room card downstairs, come over for dinner].

In a moment, Mao Mao really did come over: "Sister Zhiyi, President Qi's assistant, brought a room card, saying that you should go to dinner, Xiao Ran and the others are there too."

Guan Zhiyi took the room card in her hand and found that it was the presidential suite on Cloud Pavilion.

 "I got it."

Guan Zhiyi got up, went into the inner room, changed into casual clothes and left the room.

The confidentiality of Nan Jue's residence is very good. She can go out without fear of being secretly photographed, she directly got into the elevator and swiped her card to go upstairs.

The rooms on the Cloud Pavilion floor were all duplex. It was famous for its living room with large floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor of each room, where you can almost overlook the entire city.

Guan Zhiyi didn't see them on the first floor after entering the door, thinking that they must have eaten on the second floor to see the view, she changed into slippers and headed straight upstairs.

"Zhiyi's agent always thought you had a relationship with Zhiyi? Hahaha, your boss's image seems to be very crooked." Xiao Ran's voice came. 

Guan Zhiyi stopped in her tracks when she heard her name.

"So you guys plan to keep hiding her identity?"

Guan Yuanbai: "I didn't purposely hide it, but she is going smoothly now, there is no need to mention anything."

"That's.....true," Xiao Ran said,"but Cheng Yan, I think you and Zhiyi can continue these things, hahahaha, anyway, you two are quite suitable."

Guan Zhiyi was stunned, her heart almost stopped.

She carefully held her breath, and heard Guan Yuanbai's unbelievable voice: "What's suitable? Can you stop talking nonsense? You have no limit when gossiping."

Xiao Ran glanced at Qi Chengyan who was drinking tea in silence, and said with a smile: "Why, don't you think they're a good match?"

Guan Yuanbai: "...match my ass, me and Chengyan were more or less raised that little girl when she was growing up, what match, Is it possible to be a good match with your own sister?"

Xiao Ran: "Hey, Zhiyi's real brother is you, not Cheng Yan ah!"

"He is essentially the same as me."

"Then am I really wrong?" Xiao Ran touched his chin and looked at Qi Chengyan, "Chengyan, did you really don't like Zhiyi ah."

Qi Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at him, his eyes filled with veil and blurred.

Does he like her or not?

The steelyard in his heart had wavered, and eventually deflected.

But as Guan Yuanbai said, the little girl was brought up by him. Her dependence and trust in him are no different than for her own brother Guan Yuanbai.

Therefore, if he say those kind of things and spit out what he truly feel in his heart at this moment. Forget about if Guan Zhiyi find out, even he would feel worse than a beast in front of Guan Yuanbai.

"Shut your mouth, you don't know us or what, you really believe in those rumors outside."

Xiao Ran: "But I don't think that between you…"

"She's just a little sister." Qi Chengyan had a deep gaze, said casually and perfunctorily, "I will not have that kind of thought for her, You don't be annoying."

"Okay, okay." Xiao Ran wryly smiled, "Eh, then I can chase her, right?"

Qi Chengyan paused.

"I just think she's cute, my type of girl!"

Qi Chengyan put down the cup in his hand and threw a pillow over in the next second: "Just stay still, don't bring any harm to her. She still wants to be in the entertainment industry."

"Hiss ......What do you mean by that? As if having a relationship with me is such a bad thing!"

Guan Yuanbai chimed in, "Not bad enough? If she dates you she will be scolded by eighteenth generation ancestor of yours, okay?"

"Hey--"

The sound of Xiao Ran cursing came from there, Guan Zhiyi listened expressionlessly, after some time, she turned around and went down the stairs.

She walked very softly, when she returned at the entrance downstairs, she changed back into her shoes, opened the door and walked out.

The moment the door closed, her expression fell apart in a split second.

It's just like when you thought you were brave enough to have approached the place you thought of, but the result is you were just going around in circles, stuck in the same place.

The sense of frustration and loss, can knock you down to the ground all at once, and it's as if you can never get up anymore. 

In fact, she didn't have much confidence about him at the beginning, but after Yang Mengjia's incident, she had a little courage to try to change his view of her. Although she was approaching him during this period of time, she was actually scared in her heart. She was afraid that one day he would feel embarrassed after she confessed to him, and that he would say, Xiao Wu, I didn't have that kind of affection for you, you were just my sister…

She has been really worried about this in her heart.

But it's fine now, she has already heard the result without saying anything.

All her courage was all cleared up at that moment, he gave her the trial in advance, so that she no longer had to worry anymore.

Guan Zhiyi got on the elevator in a daze. She saw the emptiness in her eyes from her reflection, somewhat despondent. She didn't want to cry at this moment, she just felt desolate.

She thought, she still thinks too much.

It's still the same whether Yang Mengjia was there or not, whether he has someone by his side or not, he will still not look at her.

In his heart, she was just a little sister who would make trouble, and nothing more. 

Ding--

The elevator arrived at the floor where she originally lived, she walked and swiped her card to enter the door.

At this time, the photography team in the room had already left, Liu Yun had also joined the other staff outside to handle the follow-up of the launch event. So now only Maomao is in the room sorting out her itinerary in front of the computer.

After seeing her come in, Maomao was a little surprised: "Sister Zhiyi, why are you back? Didn't you go to eat?"

Guan Zhiyi opened her mouth, but felt a blockage in her throat. She didn't know what to say for a while, she just felt that after a day of running around, all the exhaustion that was suppressed until now is coming up.

Her temples were pounding, she was very tired and helpless.

Maomao noticed something was wrong with her, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

Guan Zhiyi hummed, kicked off her shoes and directly climbed onto the bed.

"Zhiyi-"

"I want to get some sleep."

"Huh?"

Guan Zhiyi's entire body nestled into the covers and whispered, "I don't want to eat anymore, don't let anyone disturb me."

"But Sister Yun might--"

"I said! Don't let anyone disturb me!"

This is the first time Guan Zhiyi has spoken loudly to her. Mao Mao was taken aback and said, "Then, then you have to tell me if you feel uncomfortable."

Guan Zhiyi closed her eyes, her nose was sore. After some time, she said in a hoarse voice,"I'm sorry, I'm just not feeling well ......"

No one responded.

Guan Zhiyi opened the quilt to take a look, and found that Maomao had gone to work in the small living room outside. She raised her hand to cover her eyes

until a wetness poured out.

What kind of temper is she throwing towards her assistant? If she ought to be angry, she obviously should only angry with herself.

In Cloud Pavilion, the three people waited for a long time yet did not see Guan Zhiyi come up, so they asked Qi Chengyan to call her. 

The phone rang for a while before being connected, Qi Chengyan said, "You're..."

"President Qi."

Qi Chengyan paused: "Maomao?"

"Yes, it's me."

"Why are you the one who answers the phone?"

"It's like this, Sister Zhiyi said she was very sleepy and just wanted to sleep now, and asked people not to disturb her."

"Sleep?" Qi Chengyan remembered that before the launch event she was still shouting about being hungry, how come she was sleeping now.

Qi Chengyan: "Has she eaten yet?"

"Not yet."

Qi Chengyan frowned: "Already asleep?"

"Yes."

Qi Chengyan was silent for a while: "Well, you tell me when she wakes up later."

"Yes, okay President Qi."

The phone hung up.

Guan Yuanbai asked, "What time is it, she's already sleeping?"

Xiao Ran: "She's probably tired, don't you know that there's no day or night in a celebrity's schedule. We barely get any sleep."

Guan Yuanbai: "But she still has to eat before sleeping."

"Her sleepiness is suddenly coming, I suppose."

Guan Zhiyi didn't come, so Guan Yuanbai asked someone to send a meal for her.

Qi Chengyan glanced at the phone, a little absent-minded, this little girl still doesn't know how to eat her meal properly……
