No one expected An Zihao to bite back, so they quickly scurried away. Of course, with An Zihao's protection, Chen Xingyan's mood slightly improved.
But, An Zihao did not feel like he had done enough. So, he placed his arm around Chen Xingyan's shoulder and protected her in his embrace.
"There's no need for this..."
An Zihao glanced down at her and said one simple word, "Go..."
Chen Xingyan smiled and no longer retaliated. At this moment, she only had this man in her eyes. No one was as tall and strong as him!
Soon, the couple reached the waiting room. Perhaps because of An Zihao, the makeup artist was exceptionally polite to Chen Xingyan. Even if people disregarded Chen Xingyan, they still had to consider An Zihao.
"That's enough. You've already delivered me here safely. I've experienced live broadcasts before. You can go back to doing your own work," Chen Xingyan remembered that An Zihao had an important meeting that night. If not for her, he would not be so busy, "Go ahead, don't be late because of me."
An Zihao glanced at Chen Xingyan and then at the makeup artist. Of course, the look in his eyes was very different.
One was warm and gentle, the other was sharp and threatening.
The makeup artist smiled, allowing An Zihao to relax a little. It seemed, this woman was not bad.
"I'll make my leave first then. Tell 'Little Seven' to give me a phone call after you're done."
"OK," Chen Xingyan nodded.
Little Seven was Chen Xingyan's assistant. Perhaps because of what happened with Annie, the assistant that An Zihao found for Chen Xingyan was very hardworking. But, she didn't know how to smooth out a situation and wasn't very quick-witted.
However, for someone that was only required to assist with Chen Xingyan's daily lifestyle needs, there was no need to find someone that was too witty. So, Little Seven was enough.
After An Zihao left, the makeup artist pulled out her tools and said admiringly, "Although you aren't signed to a well renowned agency, it's still worth it to be taken care of by An Zihao in this way."
Chen Xingyan looked into the mirror and gently nodded her head in agreement.
She didn't want to join Hai Rui nor Hollywood. All she wanted to be was An Zihao's only signed artist. That was already enough for her.
As the live broadcast was to start at 8pm, Chen Xingyan had been given a sufficient amount of time to get her makeup done. However, before her makeup had even been completed halfway, the door to the waiting room was suddenly pushed open by Bai Linlin's manager. She stuck her head in to check that Chen Xingyan was in the room. After confirming she was there, she pushed the door further open and walked in, "Miss Chen, how are you? Errr...can I have a few minutes of your time?"
Chen Xingyan had no idea that this woman was Bai Linlin's manager, nor did she know that Bai Linlin was the one that had poured sewage water on her. So, she asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
"The thing is..."
"Stop wasting your time being polite with her," Bai Linlin appeared from behind her manager and walked in past her, cutting into the conversation. She then stepped in between the makeup artist and Chen Xingyan, forcing the makeup artist to quickly balance herself against another makeup table. "We've met before...my sister ordered me to come here and apologize to you!"
After seeing Bai Linlin, Chen Xingyan realized what she was referring to.
"Hand me the flowers," seeing the expressionless look on Chen Xingyan's face, Bai Linlin stretched out her hand towards her manager.
Her manager immediately handed her a bouquet of fresh flowers. After receiving the flowers, Bai Linlin simply threw them at Chen Xingyan, "You've received my apology!"
Perhaps no one had ever seen an apology like this. She was obviously here to cause trouble.
Chen Xingyan looked at the flowers on her lap and was aware that the woman was deliberately here to cause trouble, so she threw the flowers aside and said gently, "Before I make a move, you better get out of here."
"Are you angry?" Bai Linlin laughed. "I thought you were a person of integrity. Yet, you ended up complaining to Mo Ting. I simply said that Tangning was old, was there a need to blow up the situation to this extent?"
