The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 228 Meeting Again

Chapter 228

At the movie press conference—

Today, the film's director, main creators, and main actors are all present. The fans at the event completely surrounded the hall, and with the media also present, there were at least a thousand people there.

Aside from the previous autograph session, this was the first time Mu Xiaoyu had participated in such an event. Standing next to Song Yin, looking at the many fans below the stage, although they were mostly fans of the lead actors, Mu Xiaoyu still felt a surge of indescribable emotions.

She was excited, happy, and had a mix of emotions. But at this moment, what she thought most was how wonderful it would be if Li Chenxu were standing beside her.

In her past life, her biggest dream was that one day, her comics would be shown on the screen, allowing more people to know about her.

This is perhaps the lifelong wish of many artists like Mu Xiaoyu.

Are you happy?

At this moment, Song Yin suddenly asked Mu Xiaoyu a question. Her voice was very soft, with a hint of joy, but more so because she was happy for Mu Xiaoyu.

Although the two are now friends, Song Yin is still a fan of Mu Xiaoyu's books. She is considered a long-time fan. She started liking Mu Xiaoyu when her first comic book began serialization. Several years have passed, and she never expected that one day she would be able to become friends with Mu Xiaoyu and develop such a close relationship.

Now that Mu Xiaoyu's comic has been adapted into a movie, and she is the lead actress, Song Yin is genuinely happy for Mu Xiaoyu.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu subconsciously glanced at Song Yin, who was in charge of the event. Afraid that the fans below might overthink it, Mu Xiaoyu only glanced at her before looking away.

She gave a soft "hmm" in response to Song Yin, and on the surface, she seemed to be doing the same thing as before, but the slight upturn of her lips betrayed her true feelings.

However, at that moment, for some unknown reason, Mu Xiaoyu's beautiful eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

"What is he doing here...?"

Mu Xiaoyu murmured, but the noise at the scene was too loud, and her voice was too soft, so Song Yin, who was standing next to her, couldn't hear what she was saying at all.

Song Yin wanted to ask what had happened, but before she could speak, the host of the press conference started asking them questions. Left with no other choice, Song Yin had to swallow her words.

Although Li Chenxu has now left Li's Group, the film project had already been approved and the funding had been allocated long ago, so Li Chenxu's departure did not have any impact on this press conference.

The host they hired was a top-notch host in the industry. Actually, hiring such a host was already a waste of talent, but Li Chenxu wanted to make Mu Xiaoyu's first comic book a success, so he wanted the best in terms of both actors and other aspects. Naturally, the host was also chosen to be excellent.

The press conference, though not very long, was almost entirely free of wasted time. Whether it was the questions asked by the host or the other interactive segments, the entire press conference maintained a very high standard.

The media present and some fans inside had also paid money, or were big-name fans. Such a high-level press conference, not to mention at the end, even in the middle, they had already been promoting it to netizens through various online channels.

In addition, the popularity of Mu Xiaoyu's comic book has never waned, with various book fans, actor fans, and casual viewers who were recommended it, all of which combined to make this movie a hit even before its release.

"Xiaoyu, look! Our press conference is trending number one on Weibo! And I just checked, it's been trending for a long time..."

As soon as she stepped off the stage, Song Yin excitedly grabbed Mu Xiaoyu and said something. However, compared to her previous joy, Mu Xiaoyu was clearly somewhat absent-minded. At first, Song Yin didn't notice, but after she finished speaking and saw that Mu Xiaoyu didn't react at all, she immediately felt that something was wrong.

However, before she could ask what was going on, a familiar voice came from behind her.

"Mrs. Li, Miss Song."

The two looked back at each other and saw Liang Qiao, whom they hadn't seen for several days, standing right behind them. It was then that Song Yin suddenly remembered Mu Xiaoyu's absent-mindedness at the press conference; she must have already seen Liang Qiao's arrival.

Thinking about it this way, Song Yin's doubts deepened even more.

It was one thing to joke around before; she knew Mu Xiaoyu would never be interested in Liang Qiao. But every time Mu Xiaoyu was around Liang Qiao, something seemed off. What was going on...?

"Mr. Liang, what a coincidence."

Just as Song Yin was pondering, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly spoke up. Looking at Mu Xiaoyu again, she was no different from usual, especially in her poised and confident demeanor when facing Liang Qiao, completely unlike the person who had been distracted by him at the press conference.

"It is indeed a coincidence. I was just here on behalf of Ge Yun, and I didn't expect to run into you here..."

As Liang Qiao spoke, he glanced at the time on his wrist, then smiled slightly at Mu Xiaoyu and said, "It's almost dinnertime now. If Mrs. Li and Miss Song don't mind, how about we have dinner together?"

When they were leaving the stage, Song Yin and Mu Xiaoyu said that nothing was going to happen that night, and they didn't know when Liang Qiao appeared or if he had heard what they said. If he had, it would have been awkward for them to refuse now.

Neither Song Yin nor Mu Xiaoyu really wanted to go out to dinner with Liang Qiao. Liang Qiao appeared to be a refined and cultured man; at first glance, he was quite likable. Mu Xiaoyu initially liked Liang Qiao, but for some reason, her feelings changed later.

Even now, Mu Xiaoyu doesn't even want to see Liang Qiao.

Song Yin and Mu Xiaoyu exchanged a glance. Finally, Mu Xiaoyu nodded somewhat reluctantly and said, "Okay, but... I need to go home early tonight, after all, I still have to finish my manuscript... Song Yin, you know, you're a celebrity, and having some free time like today is considered quite a lot..."

Liang Qiao smiled understandingly upon hearing this and nodded, saying, "It won't take up too much of your time, it's just a simple meal, how about Japanese food..."

As if sensing the slight antagonism between Mu Xiaoyu and Song Yin, Liang Qiao spoke in a gentler tone than before, his good temper leaving the two of them speechless.
