Chapter 279: Chapter 279 Gu Changjia_1 Chapter 279: Chapter 279 Gu Changjia_1 “I swear I was born to be overworked, darling, you really have it easier than me. Oh right, there’s a promotional event this afternoon. I’ll accompany you later.” Weini grumbled small complaints while making calls to coordinate with the stylist.

“Ok.”

The afternoon shoot went quite smoothly. Shen Ruyin, despite appearing quite harried, didn’t have much time to pick a bone with Qiao Xiaren. He seemed extremely worn out lately and would have preferred to avoid Qiao Xiaren entirely if possible.

The crew cheerfully wrapped up and planned to head home. Qiao Xiaren also packed up his things, meandering leisurely towards the exit of the studio.

Weini’s car was parked not far away. He was heading in that direction when he was suddenly blocked by a man. Qiao Xiaren stopped and lifted his gaze to observe the young man who appeared to be just twenty years old.

He had handsome and exquisite features, but he exuded an adolescent air of aggressiveness and arrogance that had not yet dissipated, making him seem somewhat intimidating.

Qiao Xiaren subtly shifted his gaze and noticed another young man in a suit behind him with a cigarette between his fingers, looking even more menacing than the first one.

A little girl would have been scared, but Qiao Xiaren found it amusing instead. Seeing Weini rolling up his sleeves ready to intervene, Qiao Xiaren sent a glance his way, indicating him to calm down.

“What’s up?”

Without any inkling of panic, Qiao Xiaren stepped back slightly, brushed back the loose strands of hair from his forehead, and stared back at the man in front of him with a light smile.

Gu Changjia was surprised by her reaction. Typically, shouldn’t one act flustered when confronted by a stranger?

“Are you Qiao Xiaren?” Gu Changjia glanced at the woman in front of him, his eyes flickering. She was indeed different from others. Distinctly dazzling and breathtakingly stunning.

Qiao Xiaren seemed to find it amusing and looked at him, “Young man, you surely haven’t mistaken me for someone else, have you?”

When Gu Changjia saw her smile, he momentarily paused before hurriedly trying to maintain his capricious and arrogant persona, “So I’ve found the right person then…looks are…nothing special. Are you the one who has taken a place in Limo’s heart? I never thought Limo was so shallow. Listen, woman, stay away from our Limo, or don’t blame me for not being polite!”

Si Limo? Qiao Xiaren studied the man in front of her and seemed to understand something. Whatever had to do with Si Limo was related to the four major families. This elite circle was apparently quite close to the Si family.

Gu Changjia tried to put on a fierce and terrifying appearance, even showing off the tattoo on his arm. But far from scaring Qiao Xiaren, she was amused.

Qiao Xiaren smirked without saying a word, thinking… this really is just a kid.

“What…what are you laughing at?” Gu Changjia’s face flushed red from embarrassment and anger, but he still forced himself to maintain a stern facade.

“You say that I’m not all that attractive, and then berate Limo for having poor taste. Should I interpret that as you actually complimenting my appearance? Also, child, don’t go around calling everyone ‘woman’, it’s easy to pick up bad habits from adults, you know?”

Qiao Xiaren reached out her hand, pushed it against his chest and effortlessly pushed him away. A simple gesture, yet performed with a cocky flamboyance and an intimidating aura by Qiao Xiaren.

Gu Changjia was taken aback, his face once again flushed a deep red: “You…you’re spouting nonsense! Who’s a kid? I’m already twenty!”
