CHAPTER 229: 229: A CHAOTIC AND ABSURD NIGHT (WITH AN ADDITIONAL CHAPTER FOR EVERY 170 MONTHLY PASSES)

"Oh, is this the same gig you mentioned last time, where the super popular Watermelon TV invited you to be assistant director?"

"Yep!"

"You’re going places, getting promoted from coordinator to assistant director."

"Haha, it’s all because of your great mentorship, Director Mu."

"Stop! I don’t deserve such high praise; don’t punch a hole in the ceiling, or else your all-purpose manager will demand my company."

"Director Mu, I told you, I only admire the all-purpose manager, not in love with him. You don’t have to keep pairing me with him."

"Who keeps complaining to me about being too busy at work to date?"

"It’s true! Following you around, Director Mu, I’m working myself to death. Where would I find the time to date? But you," Xiao Wei glanced around, saw no one was paying attention, and whispered in Mu Nan’s ear, "You’ve got all the love breezes blowing your way. A well-fed person doesn’t know the hunger of others — I’m so deprived it’s killing me~"

The warm breath brushed Mu Nan’s ear, especially with the faint scent of her perfume, making Mu Nan a bit uneasy. He shifted slightly to the side: "Ahem, aren’t you free now?"

Why didn’t he notice before that this little girl is actually quite pretty?

What a pity she’s his employee, otherwise...

Mu Nan licked his lips, not daring to look at Xiao Wei’s young and pretty face again. She’s not only pretty but has a great figure too. Usually hiding it under loose shirts, but now sitting down, with the folds accentuating her waist, her shapely figure showed through.

Mu Nan noticed her large chest, just his type.

But alas, Xiao Wei is his employee, employee, employee, can’t make a move! Mu Nan regretfully repeated to himself over and over.

"Yep, I’m free now, about to escape your clutches, it’s like escaping with my life, such a relief!" Xiao Wei laughed heartily, raising her glass to clink with his.

"Drink less, girls should be cautious while outside, don’t drink recklessly." Despite clinking glasses with her, Mu Nan cautioned.

Xiao Wei laughed: "I don’t usually drink, and besides, we’re good today. Isn’t the director here? You’re our crew’s guardian angel. With you around, who dares to stir trouble?"

"Don’t put me on a pedestal, I’m no angel." Otherwise, none of his ex-girlfriends would have cursed him as a heartbreaker.

Honestly, even Mu Nan admits he’s fond of love. When he falls for a girl, he goes all out, almost offering his heart. But once it gets familiar, he loses interest and wants to break up.

The difference is, perhaps at this point, his girlfriend is still madly in love, so...

Mu Nan glanced at Jiang Nuo, who was serving food to his wife.

To Mu Nan, his own "fickleness" feels normal. Perhaps only guys like Jiang Nuo, handsome and devoted, are considered odd in the men’s world!

If you don’t believe it, look around the real world: how many men manage this?

Following his gaze, Xiao Wei commented: "Compared to Jiang, you’re indeed not a good man, not even fit to hold his shoes."

"Really? I’m not good, but do I have to be demoted to a shoe carrier?"

Xiao Wei gave a disdainful look.

"What’s with that look?"

"A look of disdain."

Mu Nan raised an eyebrow: "Have I been too nice to you? How dare you give me that look."

"Boss, I’m almost not your employee anymore. Even if you wanted to put me in a tough spot, it’s too late."

"Seems I figured out your true colors too late. I should equip myself with a Fire Eye Crystal, to eliminate any White Bone Demon right off the bat."

...

Mu Nan couldn’t just sit and chat with Xiao Wei all night. As the director, the big boss of the crew, others also wanted to come over and toast him, say thanks.

Making connections, chatting up people, a small crew is a microcosm of society. As the most authoritative person in this microcosm, Mu Nan naturally becomes the focal point. In just a couple of hours, he’s been plied with two bottles of liquor.

Jiang Nuo, as an international superstar, also had many who wanted to ply him with drinks. But unfortunately, before reaching him, they saw he was busy attending to his wife, their level of public display of affection astonishing.

Damn!

Jiang Nuo loved flaunting his affection within the crew, so sweet it gave everyone toothaches. Yet coming to his home, people realized — those were mild gestures. Jiang Nuo was picking out fish bones, spoon-feeding her carefully, fearing she’d choke. That’s maxed out attentiveness.

The onlookers couldn’t help but express: Jiang Nuo, your wife isn’t an incapable big baby; you don’t need to be so cautious with her, right?

However, seeing Mu Qiuniang utterly accustomed, not awkward in the slightest, along with Jiang Nuo’s practiced and accurate moves, it was clear — this is their everyday routine!

These two are so lovey-dovey that others hesitated to approach.

Would take a thick face to burst their bubble of happiness and insist on butting in.

Mu Nan, a bit tipsy and uncomfortable with the display, thought it was too unfair he was being plied with drinks while someone else was cozying up with his beloved.

"Hey, you two, mind your image, there are so many people here..."

Jiang Nuo didn’t even bother to glance up: "If you don’t like it, go find someone and get married, live life seriously. I don’t fear your mockery."

"Fine, you don’t fear, I do, okay?" Mu Nan rolled his eyes, "Do you think everyone’s like you, doling out sweetness wherever they go? Don’t you get tired of being so mushy all the time?"

He then, with a smile, asked Mu Qiuniang, "Sister-in-law Jiang, even if he doesn’t, you must get sick of it, right?"

Mu Qiuniang could never side with "others." No matter what, she should stand by her husband, she said: "Not sick of it!"

Being looked at this way, from the initial shyness to subsequent calmness, she got used to it.

Ai... marrying someone with such a thick skin, you accept him for what he is.

With this thought, she gave Jiang Nuo a somewhat indulgent yet helpless look. Her gaze so sweet that Mu Nan, intending to butt in, found it overwhelmingly saccharine.

Damn! Came to disrupt, yet ended up being abused too?!

Xiao Wei, standing not too far, almost burst out laughing at her director’s choked expression. Hahaha... director, didn’t you know this couple is notoriously PDA-heavy in showbiz circles?

You’re asking for it just by getting closer, aren’t you inviting it on yourself?

Didn’t you notice everyone else staying far away, afraid even to glance, lest their teeth fall out?
