"You look happy" Jung jianguo said watching her closely.
Xie Meili was slightly turned to her side watching their cute little fan run back into the restaurant office.
After a stressful day on set Jung jianguo was treating her to some stir fried noodles to cheer her up.
He had driven straight from the set to her favourite Noddles restaurant located right behind her alma mater S city Academy of Arts.
they didn't bothered with a mask since It was quite late in the night and there weren't much customers in the restaurant.
"I feel happy" she replied unwrapping their chopsticks.
"Hey come a little closer and I'll tell you why" She said leaning towards the side and beckoning him closer with her fingers. like she had a little secret to tell him.
Jung Jianguo could already tell that she was in a playful mood so he just went along with it.
He bent to the side until their faces were only a few minutes away and her lips was a few inches from his ear.
"I'm so excited Jianguo, I just met a fan" she whispered in a super cute voice..
"congratulations dear" he whispering into her ear giving her a peck on the cheek.
"Thanks"' She replied acting shy.
"You're so cute" he said pinching her cheeks softly.
"Really so what are you going to do about that babe" She said softly.
"I don't know yet but one thing is certain though" he replied softly "and that is that you mine and am never ever letting you go" he said making her blush deeply.
Feeling self conscious she put down her head and quickly gulped in her noodles. Jung Jianguo though usually quiet can say the cheesiest things
When they were done eating, they settled their tabs and went back home.

"Qiaolian You are late" Mr Wang her supervisor said as She rushed out of the staff changing room.
"Sorry about that Mr Wang, I got delayed by traffic"
"Save that for someone that cares Miss Lin. This better be the last time this happens" Her supervisor replied indifferently.
"Yes sir" she replied demurely.
"Get going" He instructed and walked away.
As soon as he was gone Lin Qiaolian finally released the breath she was unknowingly holding and rushed out to the barr.
"Finally Qiaolian, what kept you" Xiao Xiao a waitress whose shift cane before hers said as soon as she walked in.
"sorry Xiao Xiao I got held up at the Cafe" Lin Qiaolian replied taking the notepad out of Xiao Xiao's hands.
"Your still working there. I thought you quit" Xiao Xiao asked concerned.
" I did but they still haven't gotten a replacement so I'm filling in until they do"
"For three weeks? At this point you might as well continue working for the Chu's and at such a low price at that"
"It's only for a short time until they get someone new. When they do I am so out of there"
"We'll see. danm I need to get going. Mr Wang is almost here" Xiao Xiao said looking up ahead.
"Ohh you should get going while I go get an order. I don't want him to catch me idle not when I already ran into him when I clocked"
"Hah Okay you need to get going. See you at home" Xiao Xiao said patting her gently on the shoulder wirh a smile and ran out of the room.
Zanzy bar was a popular high end bar that catered mainly to the 1% of S city. She had been working here for close to a month, the pay was very good and the working conditions even better.
She had been recommended by Xiao Xiao, her childhood friend and roommate after two weeks of unsuccessful job hunting after she had quit her job on the set of FATED
She had been broke and jobless with a lot of medical bills to pay when Xiao Xiao informed her of an opening as a waitress at Zanzy bar. Xiao Xiao had called in a favor with the bartender to get her an interview.
After the interview she was accepted and resumed work immediately. The shifts were rotated monthly, this month she was on the 7pm to 12 am shift.
It was 7:45pm, the prime time rush hour at night and the bar was packed with patrons. The tables were occupied save for a few which were empty.
Lin Qiaolian walked over to exchange some greeting with the bartender and start making her rounds.
The bar tender on duty was Little Jun a good looking man in his early twenties. He was an aspiring actor and was bartending as a part-time job.
"Hey Little Jun" she said resting on the counter.
"Ah your here finally I don't think I could take another minute of Xiao Xiao's sad expression"
Hahaha "that's so funny. I was held up at my my day time part-time job but I'm here now"
"Hmm you work really hard. Ahh that reminds me, I got a gig this Saturday as a waiter at a high class event.
"The pay is high are you interested in taking part in the gig I can recommend you to the organizer his a really good friend of mine.
"I already asked Xiao Xiao but she passed it down to go on a date with that looser boyfriend of hers.
"I wonder what she sees In that scumbag. She's basically surporting him but all he does is to play around" he said.
"Xiao Jun When are you going to tell Xiao Xiao how you really feel about her?
"...."
"What's wrong? Don't want to answer? cute You had better confess to her before she ger out of your reach"
"so are you in or not?" he said with a straight face.
"so that's how your going to play it. Okay I"ll let you be. I don't have anything planned for that day so am in"
"alright I'll give uncle Han a call to let him know. We have a new customer go attend to him" he said nodding at the entrance.
Lin Qiaolian turned to the entrance and looked up to see a familiar handsome figure walking in.
