Love Variety Show: The despised me exploded in popularity-Chapter 648 - 341 Dongzhou, Sky Light
Chapter 648: Chapter 341: Dongzhou, Sky Light Chapter 648 -341: Dongzhou, Sky Light Xu Qingyan glanced at her face first, then his gaze trailed downward.
Shen Jinyue wore a mask, so a quick look might not reveal her identity.
But spotting her from her chest was simple; he had that little bit of a lasting impression.
“Oh, over here.” His reaction wasn’t too big.
It wasn’t that kind of reaction, but he was somewhat desensitized to Shen Jinyue’s character.
She seemed as if she never changed, always carrying that heartless, carefree demeanor.
She ran up to Xu Qingyan and slowed down her pace.
...
She looked at him somewhat awkwardly, observing his reaction and noticing that his expression hadn’t changed.
In an instant, Shen Jinyue felt a bit disappointed.
He had absolutely no expectations…
The expectation for this meeting was always hers alone.
Xu Qingyan saw her strange look and probably guessed what she was thinking.
He stepped forward, patted her head, and a trace of a smile finally appeared on his indifferent face.
“I’ve been exhausted recently, always cursing at people, thus my complexion isn’t too good.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Jinyue’s face regained its smile.
Oh, so it wasn’t because of herself.
Then she looked up again and curiously asked,
“Cursing at people?
Why?
Is it about work?”
“More or less.
It’s not our internal staff, but competitors constantly trying to trip us up.” Xu Qingyan waved his hand, clearly not wanting to continue the topic.
Shen Jinyue could only keep nodding.
“Get in the car.” Xu Qingyan beckoned.
Shen Jinyue, a bit lost, put her luggage into the trunk.
Finally, she got into the passenger seat and buckled her seat belt, but it came loose, and she didn’t secure it on the first try.
Xu Qingyan, somewhat helpless, reached out to help her with the seat belt, his arm naturally brushing against her chest.
Soft and pudgy.
Both of them were stunned for a moment, Xu Qingyan almost leaning over Shen Jinyue, he suddenly remembered last year’s National Day…
and he couldn’t help but glance at Shen Jinyue’s eyes.
Shen Jinyue also froze, then on impulse, she kissed him.

Just a light touch on his lips, but she was still confused long after.
She couldn’t explain why she did it.
It was just a subconscious action, they were too close, and it wasn’t what she intended, her brain just didn’t process it.
The thought had barely formed in her mind before her body had already acted; it wasn’t intentional.
At that moment, the atmosphere seemed to freeze.
Beep!
The car behind honked its horn, breaking the awkward silence.
Xu Qingyan quickly came back to his senses, clicked the seat belt into place with a snap, then hit the gas, and the car zoomed forward.
Throughout the drive, Shen Jinyue was especially uneasy.
She was unclear about Xu Qingyan’s thoughts.
Fifteen minutes into the drive, he hadn’t said a word.
Eventually, the car entered a residential area that looked quite ordinary.
However, the underground garage was decorated with effort, at least similar to the complex where Shen Jinyue lived.
After parking, Xu Qingyan sighed deeply, rubbing his eyes.
“Recently, the company is acquiring Yun Yi’s music business, and at the same time conducting the acquisition of Mu Chan Animation.
Plus there’s a movie releasing, so there is a lot of work.”
“People get tired, so if you see me suddenly not speaking, or lying in one place motionless…
uh…
just don’t get scared, ignore it, and it’ll be fine.”
“Huh?
Why do you have so much work?
Can’t you let go of some, do them one at a time?” Shen Jinyue was completely bewildered.
She wasn’t ignorant about management.
Shen Jinyue’s father was the president of a big conglomerate, so she had some memories of company acquisitions, requiring audits and negotiations by professional teams.
Each of those tasks, taken individually, could keep someone occupied to the point of losing several kilograms.
Piling them together and doing them all at once was masochistic and reckless.
Not to mention it would be physically exhausting even if one could manage the workload.
“There’s no time, so we have to tackle them all at once.” Xu Qingyan spoke evenly, picking up the luggage and walking toward the elevator, “Come on, I’ll take you up to rest.”
Shen Jinyue didn’t know what to say and followed him with her head down.
“Did you rent a house here?”
“Bought it.”
“Why didn’t you buy one in Xinghai?” Shen Jinyue’s mouth formed an ‘o’ shape.
She was curious.
Although Dongzhou was an emerging first-tier city, it was incomparable to Xinghai.
Had Xu Qingyan’s lease expired, so he moved to Dongzhou?
What about Sister Pei, Sister Zhouzhou?
No, why does she sound like she’s meddling?
Oh no.
“Why didn’t you buy in Xinghai?” Xu Qingyan mimicked her tone, mockingly repeating the question, then glanced at her, “Baby, what do you think?”
“Why didn’t I buy a house in Xinghai, or even better, one in Capital City?
Why didn’t I?
Is it because I don’t like it?
Do I have to buy in Dongzhou?”
Ding!
They exited the elevator.
Shen Jinyue suddenly understood, “Oh, it’s too expensive.”
Xu Qingyan: “…”
Baby, you’re too smart.
“Actually that’s not it.
Mainly because the company isn’t flush with cash.
All the money I’ve earned has been reinvested into the company, and there isn’t much left, so I could only afford to buy a house here.”
Actually, the main reason is that Dongzhou isn’t far from Xinghai or Capital City, situated right in between.
Although he isn’t worried about money now and could afford a house in Xinghai if he really wanted to, it’s completely unnecessary.
Pei Muchan has a house, why should he buy another?
The problem is that, at this stage, he’s extremely busy.
Whenever he is in Xinghai and has a bit of spare time, he spends it happily with Pei Muchan.
He has no time to live in his own house; it would be a waste to buy one.
After being affectionate, then just get dressed and go to his own house?
Wouldn’t that be lacking common sense?
The rest of the time, he’s immersed in work, barely touching the ground.
Although they say property values in Xinghai don’t fall, he doesn’t need to preserve value; every penny invested in the company can earn money.
