The camera panned to her face one by one. Xia Ning tried her best to maintain her smile. She didn’t want the headlines to be about her and Qiao Yu’s conflict.
She glanced at the man beside her from the corner of her eye. He was looking forward expressionlessly, and his entire body was cold.
She sneered in her heart. The people around her were not even willing to pretend, but she was so hot-headed.
“Xia Ning, look over here.” A reporter asked.
“President Qiao, can you get closer to Xia Ning?”
“President Qiao, Xia Ning, can you give us a close-up?”
The reporters fought to take photos. They were sure that this set of photos would be on the front page tomorrow. However, Xia Ning and Qiao Yu were not cooperative. When they reached the signature wall at the end, Xia Ning immediately pulled her hand back.
Qiao Yu watched Xia Ning’s actions and a hint of mockery flashed across his eyes. He took the pen from the waiter and signed his name. When he turned around, he saw Jin Yan standing there with Riemann. As if he didn’t see them, he walked past them and entered the room.
Jin Yan looked ahead with a smile.
Li Man tugged at Jin Yan’s arm.”She didn’t even want to say a word to you when she saw you. You’re an enemy, and she doesn’t even take you seriously.”
“No matter how flirtatious you are, he didn’t even look at you, did he?” Jin Yan retorted.
Li man’s expression changed when she heard that. She glanced at her exposed chest and subconsciously took a step back, pulling at her clothes.
At this moment, Xia Ning walked over.
Jin Yan let go of Li Man and walked up to her. He frowned when he saw her holding her arm.”What’s wrong?”
Xia Ning shook her head.”I’m fine. I just accidentally touched it.”
“Do you want to go to the hospital?” Jin Yan asked, pulling her arm.
“No need, I didn’t hurt my bones.” Xia Ning retracted her hand and glanced at Li Man.
Li Man looked at her from a distance and stood there with a faint smile.
Xia Ning nodded slightly at her, but her smile was not warm. They had always been doing it for the sake of their reputation.
“Go in. I’ll accompany you to the hospital tomorrow.” Jin Yan suddenly said.
Xia Ning nodded and followed him in.
This time, the seating arrangement was based on the production team, so Xia Ning sat together with Lin Nan and the others. However, Jin Yan was coincidentally sitting next to her.
As a special guest, Qiao Yu sat in the first row, while Xia Ning’s crew sat in the second row. Xia Ning frowned as she looked at the man sitting in front of her. She was a little against this arrangement.
She hated the way Qiao Yu spoke to her.
“Xiao Ke, why is your face so pale?” Lin Nan looked at Xia Ning with concern. It had been a few days since he last saw her and she seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
Xia Ning shook her head.”I’m fine. Maybe I didn’t rest well yesterday.” Her hand fell on her arm, and it hurt so much that her teeth were chattering.
“Have you been too busy recently?” Lin Nan asked,”I haven’t seen you for more than a month. Your phone was turned off when I tried to call you.”
“I dropped my phone.” Xia Ning replied,”besides, I stayed in United Kingdom for a while. I only came back a few days ago.”
“Is it about your family?” Lin Nan knew that Xia Ning’s family was in United Kingdom.
Xia Ning nodded and said,”okay.”
Just then, the host came out. Lin Nan didn’t say anything and was about to look at the stage when he glanced at Xia Ning’s arm. He felt something strange and immediately looked over. He pulled her sleeve and said in surprise,””Xiao Ke, why is your arm so swollen?”
