Chapter 33: A Sudden Feeling of Guilt

Aston Martin sped all the way and sent Joan back.

While driving, Su Jue laughed at Shen Junlan's face as black as the bottom of a pot. From childhood to adulthood, Su Jue was the least favored child by the elders in the family, stubborn, unenterprising, and listened to the most words like "You learn from your brother/sister and take them as an example", among which the most compared is Shen Junlan.

Ding dong.

Suddenly, a WeChat prompt sound came out of the mobile phone.

Qiao An listened to Su Jue heartily flipping through his and Shen Junlan's old accounts with a light smile, while unlocking his mobile phone and opening WeChat, it was a message from Lu Yan, a very simple greeting - [Did the people you don't want to see cause you unpleasant?]

Su Jue saw Qiao An silent in front of the shiny screen, and hurriedly asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"

Joan patted him on the head, rarely spoke sharply, and said, "Drive well!"

Because Qiao's father died in a car accident, Qiao An is particularly concerned about this, she can't drive herself, but once she finds out that the driver has any dangerous behavior, she will always be very nervous, and her tone is extremely serious.

“…… Oh. Su Jue replied stupidly, the driving posture can no longer be regular, but the afterglow of his eyes still flashes to Qiao An from time to time, "Sister, what's the matter? Don't be in your heart, say it, what about me! I can't solve it, and Brother Gu will help cover it! I can't do it anymore, and my father, uncle, and grandparents!"

"What are you thinking?" Seeing that Su Jue had finally concentrated on driving, Qiao An relaxed slightly, but when he heard that he had sent all the elders with status in the family, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Tap your finger on your phone's screen to type a reply.

[Jane: Yes......]

The upper end of the dialogue interface shows [The other party is typing], probably editing the words to comfort her, right?The corners of Joan's mouth rose involuntarily, and her fingers quickly tapped on the keypad at the bottom of the screen:

[Jane: But I didn't make the other party feel better~ [proud]]

After a while, Qiao An received a message from the other party: [Lu Yan: [Well done.jpg]].

I guess all the text I just edited was deleted, right?

Joan thought to herself.

※※※※※※※

Some people say that one of the things that the weaker partner in a relationship often does is to write out a paragraph in the dialog box, delete and subtract, and then empty it as it is. And the whole process of the above, the other party has no knowledge.

Obviously, Lu Yan, who has had a crush on her for more than ten years on the other side of the screen, is like this.

Some people say that if you like a person, you are afraid that the other party will know, and you are afraid that the other party will not know, but the most afraid is that the other party pretends not to know even though she knows it.

Joan, who looked at the screen darkening, was like this.

In the quiet carriage, Qiao An subconsciously pinched the tail ring on his little thumb and was silent. She has always positioned herself in the position of an agent, and she clearly made a plan for herself: she doesn't believe in love or marriage, but she will treat this person who has been obsessed with her for more than ten years, and do everything she can to bring him to the pinnacle of the entertainment industry.

However, at the dinner table of Su Miao and Su Jue's house, when Shen Junlan asked her when she was looking for a boyfriend, Lu Yan's appearance appeared in her mind for the first time - the nervous look he saw every time he saw her......

This surprised Joan.

Also, just now, she thought that Lu Yan deleted the words in the dialog box one by one and changed her expression, and a sense of guilt surged in her heart.

Guilt?!

Joan clasped her phone to her body and leaned back on the seat with her hands on her chest, her expression solemn.

What's the hell?

※※※※※※※※

In the next few days, Joan also booked a suite in the hotel where the crew stayed, fulfilling her duties as an agent, and at the same time trying to figure out what was wrong with her abnormal state.

Follow the crew during the day, stay in the room at night, or discuss some work matters with Lu Yan, no matter how business-like.

As usual, Lu Yan was as nervous as usual in front of her, obviously everything was the same as before, but Qiao An realized that she was really out of control - when facing Lu Yan, she always felt guilty, and when she didn't face Lu Yan, she thought of him more and more often, thinking of his guilt.

Because of the guilt, when she faced Lu Yan, her tone seemed to be more gentle, and the aspect of thinking about him seemed to be more thoughtful, she wanted to do her best to make up for the guilt of him, to make up for his secret love that was destined to end in nothing. The result of this was the exact opposite of what she expected: she seemed to have given Lu Yan the wrong information and made him sink deeper.

For Joan, love is a more difficult and troublesome thing than investing in a project, managing a team, or even buying a company.

Until then, she can raise her hand to her admirer without hesitation, show her tail ring, and tell the other person succinctly and neatly that she is unmarried and does not want to talk about feelings.

But once she thought of doing the same thing to Lu Yan, the guilt in her heart was overwhelming, and she postponed this time again and again - she told herself that she would confess, but now was not the right time.

But what should she do now?

※※※※※※※※

It's been three days since she came back from the set, and Joan has finally made up her mind that she needs a little help, someone to tell her what to do, and this suitable person is far away from the United States.

Domestic time is 9 p.m., New York time should be 9 a.m., 12 hours time difference.

The magic capital is particularly lively at night, with the lights of the high-rise buildings shining brightly, and the Huangpu River is also full of boats coming and going. Qiao An left the balcony, walked into the study, and then dialed Tan Xinyue's phone.

"Hello, Xiao An, I haven't received your call for half a month. Isn't the work in China very busy?" Tan Xinyue's gentle voice was filled with joy.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Yue, for my negligence. But there's a lot going on at work, how about you and Uncle Chung? Are you in New York or Philadelphia?"

Uncle Zhong in Qiao An's mouth, named Zhong Mingtang, is her mother's senior brother and her guardian in the United States. And Tan Xinyue is Zhong Mingtang's wife, but she is only 6 years older than Qiao An. From "Sister Moon" to "Aunt Moon", Joan witnessed the whole process - including the fate between them with some legends.

"In New York, Mingtang has some work as an art appraisal, and as an assistant, I certainly can't be absent. Tan Xinyue's tone was full of admiration and attachment to Zhong Mingtang, full of happiness.
