Into the Night, Jiao Jiao Gets Kissed by a Business Tycoon

Xinan initially wanted to call Cheng Yi to express her gratitude, but when she remembered what he had told her that day, she stopped what she was doing.

Although the trending search had been removed and the photos had been deleted, numerous netizens and fans still flocked to Xinan's comment section.

"Why are the trending search and the handsome guy's photos gone?"

"Does anyone have the handsome pool guy's photo?"

"I have it upstairs."

"I have it too!"

"Please save it! Please save it!"

"..."

Without the boost from the trending search, the buzz around #HandsomePoolGuy gradually died down over the next few days, allowing Xinan to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's You" also successfully rode the wave of this trending search to become one of the most anticipated films for next year.

And it ranked third.

"Mist," with its top-tier production team and a cast that included a movie emperor among other veteran actors, had been highly popular even before filming began, maintaining its topic dominance after wrapping up, thus it secured the first place.

—

A month later, "It's You" finally wrapped up filming, but on the day before the wrap party, Xinan suddenly twisted her ankle, so she couldn't attend.

The story actually began three days earlier when Jiang Yurou unexpectedly called her to say she was throwing a party to celebrate the end of her world tour and invited Xinan to attend.

Xinan knew her well; although it was ostensibly a welcome-back party, it was actually just an excuse to gather old friends.

The party started at seven-thirty in the evening at a private club, which was not small in scale, boasting luxurious and grand decorations and fit-outs.

Upon entering, there was a giant screen displaying various entertainment facilities, next to which was a very grand revolving restaurant.

At the moment, the female lead of the party was already seated at the dining table, dressed in a light purple evening gown that accentuated her exquisite curves, and her baby-face added a touch of cuteness to her sexiness.

Han Jibai and Ran Shasha were sitting beside her, both with smiles on their faces, appearing very gentle.

Ran Shasha and Jiang Yurou were chatting, and although Han Jibai also occasionally joined in, he seemed the same as usual; however, Xinan couldn't help feeling his mood wasn't high.

"Nannan, you're here? Come sit down," Jiang Yurou noticed Xinan standing at the entrance.

Xinan snapped back to reality and hesitantly said, "Okay."

Xinan sat next to Jiang Yurou, acknowledging Han Jibai and Ran Shasha with a greeting.

Ran Shasha said, "Nannan, I haven't seen you in months. I heard you've just taken on a new drama?"

Xinan smiled and nodded, "Yes, I'm currently filming."

"That's great, I hope you keep doing better."

"Thank you."

With a light smile and half-jokingly, Ran Shasha opened her red lips and said, "Nannan, at this rate of your progress, you might surpass me in less than a year. I'm actually a bit embarrassed."

The weight of Ran Shasha's words was immense; Xinan quickly responded, "Sister Shasha, don't put me on a pedal. I still have so much to learn from you."

"Ha-ha, I'm just joking. If you really surpass me within a year, then what have I been doing all these years?" Ran Shasha gave Xinan a thoughtful glance and added, "But really, Cheng Yi is quite a lucky charm for his wife!"

Xinan was puzzled as to why Ran Shasha suddenly mentioned Cheng Yi. Did she know that the reason she could play the female lead in "It's You" was because of Cheng Yi?

Before she could speak, a robust male voice came from the entrance, "Damn, who left a rag doll at the door? I almost killed myself tripping over it."

The latecomers were none other than Tan Bo and Cheng Yi.

Jiang Yurou called out to Tan Bo, annoyed, "So many people came in without falling, only you did. It's your own fault for not looking where you're going, who else can you blame?"

Whenever Tan Bo encountered Jiang Yurou, he deflated like a balloon that had lost its air, and despite feeling aggrieved, he could only respond with a smile, "Okay, okay, it was my fault for not looking."

"Hmph."

Cheng Yi walked past Tan Bo, who had been blocking the door, and sat down next to Xinan.

Ran Shasha said, "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. Xinan and I were just talking about you."

Cheng Yi's eyelids twitched slightly, "Oh, really?"

"Ever since Xinan started working with you, her career has really taken off. Her resources are even better than mine, and I am a triple-gold film queen. I'm really envious!" Her voice was gentle and charming, but her words were thought-provoking.

"Envious?" Cheng Yi glanced at Han Jibai sitting next to her, "Is it that your fiancé hasn't provided you with resources?"

As soon as these words were uttered, the smiles on Han Jibai and Ran Shasha's faces immediately stiffened.

"What do you mean by that?" Han Jibai's expression turned very ugly.

"What does your fiancée mean?" he retorted with obvious mockery in his tone, "You better worry about your own company first."

He had overheard Ran Shasha's words to Xinan at the door; if one didn't know her well, they really wouldn't catch the underlying meaning of her words.

Putting someone in an awkward position in public was certainly not something a good sister should do.

Han Jibai was rendered speechless by the counter.

Seeing the situation becoming increasingly tense, Jiang Yurou couldn't help but speak up, "Stop arguing, everyone. We are all here to welcome me back today, and I want us all to enjoy ourselves."

Xinan tugged at Cheng Yi's sleeve, "Thanks for speaking up for me, but let's listen to Rourou. After all, it's not good to make a scene at an occasion like this."

Xinan's words seemed to have an effect, as Cheng Yi's expression softened considerably. Seeing this, Jiang Yurou breathed a sigh of relief.

With everyone present, Jiang Yurou started calling for the waiters to serve the dishes. In less than ten minutes, the table was filled with a variety of exquisite dishes.

Sitting at the head of the table with a glass in hand, Jiang Yurou toasted everyone, "Thank you all for coming to my welcoming party. I'll drink this first; please feel free to follow."

With that, she boldly downed her drink.

"A welcoming party?" Tan Bo burst out laughing, "This is really the first time I've seen this. It's been months since you came back, and you're still throwing yourself a welcoming party."

Jiang Yurou glared at him, "I like it. You got a problem with that?"

Tan Bo quickly waved his hands, "I wouldn't dare."

After finishing his words, he stood up with his glass, "Come, let's all raise a toast to welcome Miss Jiang Yurou back home."

Jiang Yurou and Tan Bo managed to lighten the mood, at least on the surface, everyone seemed quite harmonious.

Midway through the meal, Ran Shasha suddenly stood up and said, "Excuse me, I need to visit the restroom."

After a while, Han Jibai followed her out.

"Shasha, why did you say those things to Nannan just now?" Han Jibai really couldn't bring himself to ask in front of everyone.
