I Am Rich

40

At this time, a boy band was currently performing on the stage, everyone was bombarded with their music, and the entire arena was covered with blue lights.

When Guan Zhiyi heard Qi Chengyan's words, she slowly blinked her eyes,"Ah?"

"Isn't today your first time receiving an award, I come to see you."

There was indeed an award for her today, the best supporting actor award, which is a pretty big recognition for her.

Guan Zhiyi looked into his eyes, the bottom of his eyes were imprinted with a faint blue light that seemed to draw people in, she paused, a little lost in thought, "Oh ......"

He cared for her, as always.

However, what she is afraid of now is his care, because such care can easily cause people to stumble and fall, then become completely drowned in it, unable to save themselves.

"And about you and him."Qi Chengyan glanced at Xiao Ran, then said in a shallow voice, "You should not get too close to him."

Guan Zhiyi lowered her eyes,"Everything that spreads on the Internet is just a blind rumor, don't take it seriously."

"Is it?"

Guan Zhiyi glanced at him strangely,"You also think that I have something with Xiao Ran, like my brother did? I'm only good friends with him."

Qi Chengyan has a lot of pressure in his heart, that at this time, even when he heard her saying that they were just friends, his heart is still vaguely unhappy,"Even if you two were just good friends, you still have to pay attention to the distance."

Guan Zhiyi frowned and became a little upset,"Why should I pay attention to the distance? Now I'm being watched closely by netizens, and whoever gets close to me will be misunderstood. I can't stop communicating with my friends just because of these rumors, can I?"

Qi Chengyan's eyes sank, just as he was about to say something, there was another scream in the arena.

Looking at the big screen on the stage, he found that the performance on the stage was over. The host mentioned Guan Zhiyi and Xiao Ran in a brief talk show, and the camera was brought to the two of them. On the big screen, they looked like a pair of couples.

Guan Zhiyi found herself appearing on the big screen too. She lowered her eyes slightly to adjust her expression, then smiled at the camera.

Under the gaze of so many people, Guan Zhiyi naturally would not say anything to Qi Chengyan. First, she was afraid that she would quarrel with him because of that scandal, and second, she had already made up her mind to distance herself from him, there was no need to explain so much at this time.

So she didn't go out of her way to talk to him later on, after she went on the stage, receiving awards, and watching the performance ...... In addition to occasionally talking with Xiao Ran, Guan Zhiyi kept still on her own.

Qi Chengyan naturally saw that Guan Zhiyi didn’t want to listen to him anymore, so he didn’t force her. After all, it’s not very convenient to speak on this occasion. Moreover, the purpose of him coming today is indeed the same as what he just said, he wanted to see her receiving an award.

It's just that when he watched the people beside him not speaking to him, but was talking and laughing with Xiao Ran on the other side of her, why did he feel that Xiao Ran is such an eyesore the more he looked at him?

He couldn't help but start to think back, since when did this little kid stop sticking to him.

Could it be that ...... she already has someone that she likes now, so her body and mind are following her heart?

After the Starlight Ceremony ended, the celebrity left one after another.

Guan Zhiyi and her fellow cast members went backstage together. They arrived at Zhao Mingming and Li Xuan's dressing room first, so she continued to walk inside with Xiao Ran.

"Is there any more work tonight?" Xiao Ran asked.

Guan Zhiyi shook her head, "I'll go straight home and rest."

"Me too, it's rare that I don't have to fly out again." Xiao Ran said, "I'm sorry about being photographed last time, you don't know, your brother called to question me."

Guan Zhiyi smiled, "My brother is quite severe with his suspicions."

"But your brother's concern is not unreasonable." Xiao Ran slightly lowered his mouth close to her ear, "It's really troublesome if you fall in love with me."

"But I don't fall in love with you-"

"You can try to."

Guan Zhiyi was taken aback and looked at Xiao Ran in surprise. The latter stared at her seriously, there was surprisingly no joking in his always playful eyes.

"You ......"

"I'll take you home." Suddenly, someone next to her grabbed her arm and pulled her away from Xiao Ran in a split second. Guan Zhiyi staggered a step, she found that at some point Qi Chengyan had appeared beside her.

Thinking that he might have heard what Xiao Ran said just now, she was somewhat embarrassed, "Maomao and Sister Yun are still waiting for me."

Qi Chengyan glanced at Xiao Ran, his expression a little cold,"I've talked to Liu Yun, let's go."

"But I have no plans to return to the Imperial Palace..."

"Your brother asked you to, you must go back and explain to him."

Guan Zhiyi: "..."

Xiao Ran calmly watched the conversation between two of them, before he stood up slowly, laughing,"Can Yuanbai and you relax? Why does it seem like I've stabbed two family's hornet nests if your sister falls in love with me? It looks like you two were not happy about it."

Guan Zhiyi: "Teacher Xiao--"

"Stop making trouble if you know you've stabbed a hornet nest." Qi Chengyan said directly.

Guan Zhiyi: "......"

Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows slightly,"You're splitting a loving couple, you know…..tsk, the parents nowadays are too strict, even a person like me were unable to enter into you guys eyes."

Qi Chengyan's eyes were visibly cold.

Xiao Ran could see it clearly, yet he deliberately stepped on the thunder and said,"But if Zhiyi likes me too, you can't be so indifferent to me in the future. Isn't that right Zhiyi?"

Guan Zhiyi was completely baffled as to what was wrong with Xiao Ran.

"But I ......"

"It's okay, it's okay, there's no hurry, the future is long." Xiao Ran winked at Guan Zhiyi, "If these people really don't agree, then we can talk about underground love later on. these people, ah, we don't need to tell them."

Without waiting for any response, he waved to Guan Zhiyi and turned away.

The backstage corridor is not crowded, only one or two staff members would occasionally passing by. Qi Chengyan withdrew his eyes from Xiao Ran and said to Guan Zhiyi, "Let's go."

Guan Zhiyi looked back and couldn't see Mao Mao and Liu Yun figures, she guessed that these two people would not come to her after Qi Chengyan talked to them. Guan Zhiyi had no choice but to follow his footsteps.

For the sake of the celebrity that gathered here, this venue is well protected and very private. There was no need to be afraid of being photographed at this time. After arriving at the parking lot, Guan Zhiyi directly got into Qi Chengyan's car.

Qi Chengyan drove by himself here today. When he got into the car, he turned on the air conditioning and took off his coat then put it on her lap.

"Put it on."

Guan Zhiyi was still wearing that little light blue dress, he admitted that she was so beautiful today that people couldn't look away from her. Even so, when he first saw her dressed like this, he felt a little frustrated in his heart.

The dress was backless, her arms and legs were exposed, they really did a fabric-saving when they made it.

Guan Zhiyi looked at the clothes on her lap, she felt his residual warmth brush by. It was very warm, yet her heart felt repellent at this moment.

She loves his tenderness, but also hates it at the same time.

"I'm not cold, you can wear it yourself." She handed him back the suit coat.

Qi Chengyan lowered his eyes, glanced at his coat, the anger that he had suppressed all night bubbled up,"Are you making a tantrum to me?"

His voice sounds very serious, and because his voice is too cold, it will give people the illusion of impatience. Guan Zhiyi's heart trembled, she braced herself, "Where did I throwing tantrum at you."

"You're upset just because I didn't let you get too close to Xiao Ran?"

"I..." Guan Zhiyi took a breath, she felt her temples buzzing, and gritted her teeth, "Yes! I'm upset. Why do you care so much about me? How old am I? Why can't I make friends!"

Qi Chengyan's pupils shrank slightly, he calmed his mind before saying, "It's not that you are not allowed to make friends, but--"

"But Xiao Ran is too popular now, and I will only be scolded if I am photographed with him." Guan Zhiyi finished the sentence for him, she felt peeved and added, "So what, I don't care that much!"

"You--"

"If you were sent by Guan Yuanbai to lecture me today, then your mission is completed now!" Guan Zhiyi's brain was a muddled mess, what she said at this time is naturally not true, she also knows that it is not good to be photographed with Xiao Ran, she will definitely pay attention to it in the future. However, looking at Qi Chengyan at this moment, she just can't help but want to lose her temper at him.

Why did he care so much about her, and for what reason did he have to care about her! Clearly, she had used a lot of effort to stay away from him.

Guan Zhiyi dropped his suit coat and turned towards the car door. However, as soon as the door opened, she was pulled back in.

Her dress was backless, and when she leaned back, she felt the warmth of his body temperature. She was stunned for a moment, realized that she had hit his arms.

After a two-second pause, she immediately wanted to move forward.

But before she could move, she heard Qi Chengyan's helpless voice coming from behind her. "I'm just reminding you, why are you throwing so much tantrums at me? Are you really that angry?"

He was right behind her when he spoke, his breathe was warm, accompanied with a soft voice, trying to calm her heart.

Guan Zhiyi pursed her lips, her nose inexplicably felt sour. She was angry with him, but even more so with herself.

"You were the one who got angry first."

Qi Chengyan sighed lightly, turned her around, "I didn't get angry ...... well, then I won't say anything else now, you don't get out of the car."

Guan Zhiyi turned her head, did not look at him, her nose was getting more and more sour.

Qi Chengyan stared at her, then silently took his suit coat again to cover her.

"Put on your seat belt."

Guan Zhiyi ignored him.

Qi Chengyan paused and leaned over to pull her seat belt.

Guan Zhiyi didn't expect him to suddenly come closer, when she turned her head her nose nearly brushed against his shirt, there was a faint smell that was extremely familiar to her.

"You're crying?" When pulling the seat belt, he saw the watery glow under her eyes.

Guan Zhiyi moved back quietly, but her back had already touched the seatback, she was unable to move anymore and ended up turning her head again, "I didn't cry…"

The two people were very close to each other at this time, Qi Chengyan subconsciously looked at her lips that was well within his reach, he paused slightly, then continued to buckle her seat belt.

"Really not?"

"I'm not!"

Qi Chengyan sat back in his seat and turned his head to look at her. While she looked out the window without looking back.

Qi Chengyan sighed, reached out and patted her head,"Brother knows I was wrong, I won't speak loudly to you in the future, okay?"

"..."

"Don't want to talk? Still upset?"

Guan Zhiyi: "...... No."

"Okay, then I'm driving now, you can't suddenly cry midway."

"...... I'm not a child and I've told you I'm not crying."

The corner of Qi Chengyan's mouth twitched slightly, there was a softness in his eyes,"Okay, I know."
