The Queen’s Rise to the Top

Chapter 408

After the rehearsal that day, it was already evening.

The teammates were ravenously hungry after the high-intensity rehearsal, hanging on for dear life.

Nan Xiangwan was impatient to order takeout...

Zhu Sha stopped her: "It's over, let's eat at the shop."

A group of people walked mightily, ignoring Zhao Tiancheng's stomping, and ran to a nearby Peking duck restaurant.

As soon as Nan Xiangwan walked in, she shouted: "Bring me ten Peking duck pancakes!"

It shocked the shop assistants.

...

Zhao Tiancheng followed them all the way, worrying like an assistant, sitting at the table watching these young girls.

He kept reminding them: "Eat less, or you'll get fat. This stuff is very greasy."

Nan Xiangwan put a chopstick in his plate: "Eat, Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Tiancheng immediately smiled very happily: "Okay, okay, you eat more too."

Sha Ling: "Mr. Zhao, do you have to change your face so quickly?"

Ge Dongxuan: "It's like a business flattery session."

Others: "Hahaha!"

Zhu Sha took Nan Xiangwan's bowl and stood up, wanting to ladle soup for her: "Xiangwan, try this duck rack fried rice."

Nan Xiangwan: "Put it down!"

Zhu Sha's hand stopped, looking back in surprise: "What's wrong? You don't want to eat it?"

Nan Xiangwan: "What's with the small bowl? Give me the whole pot!"

Zhu Sha: "..."

The others laughed even louder.

After eating their fill, everyone returned to the hotel.

Following the proximity principle, Tianming Girl Group and the team were staying at a nearby hotel, only twenty minutes drive from the Bird's Nest.

Zhao Tiancheng nagged all the way: "Go straight to sleep when you get back, don't chat anymore, okay? Forget it, I'll watch you all go into your rooms, no coming out!"

Zhu Sha: "We know, Mr. Zhao. We're full already, no reason to gather."

Nan Xiangwan raised her hand: "I can still eat."

Zhao Tiancheng: "Nan Xiangwan shut up! All of you go to sleep!"

............

In the capital at the Gu mansion apartment.

Gong Jin smiled and leaned in next to Gu Beihuai, raised his eyebrows and asked: "She didn't contact you? Haha! Let me tell you, she must already be in the capital, but she just won't contact you, sigh, that's how it is."

Gu Beihuai's face was dark: "She's busy."

Gong Jin: "Yes, yes, too busy to even look at her phone!"

Gu Beihuai threw his phone on the sofa and walked into the room without looking back.

Gong Jin: "Oh? Not going to cling to your phone a little longer today?"

Gu Beihuai: "I don't have an internet addiction."

Gong Jin: "Yes, yes, but you have a Nan addiction."

At this moment, the screen on the sofa lit up, and at the same time a new message tone came in.

Gong Jin's voice stopped, seemingly surprised.

Gu Beihuai instantly turned back and snatched up the phone!

Gong Jin rolled his eyes: "Tsk tsk tsk, serious business, she took the initiative to contact you, look how happy you are."

Gu Beihuai ignored his sarcasm to the side, his expression softened as he opened the screen and looked at the top line of the WeChat, his heart was melting.

'Nan Xiangwan: Beibei, where are you?'

'Gu Beihuai: [shared location]'

'Gu Beihuai: I miss you so much, Nannan.'

'Nan Xiangwan: Give me the exact address, what's the door number?'

Gu Beihuai's heart almost jumped out nervously on the spot!

Nan Xiangwan wants to come over?

He instantly jumped up, quickly replying while tidying up things around him.

Any water bottles, any snacks, put them away!

It's so messy, how can the house be so messy?

Gong Jin was dumbfounded watching him: "What are you doing?"

Gu Beihuai sent the exact address, then looked back at Gong Jin.

Gong Jin felt his scalp tingle under his gaze: "F*ck, what's with that look? I know I'll throw away the trash after eating snacks, it's just snacks, do you have to be so..."

Gu Beihuai interrupted him: "Yes, you too."

Gong Jin: "???"

Gu Beihuai: "I'll book you a hotel, you go stay out."

Gong Jin: "!!!"

Gu Beihuai was about to immediately book a hotel, he had to send Gong Jin away, such rare alone time with her couldn't be ruined.

Unexpectedly Nan Xiangwan's latest message came in, interrupting Gu Beihuai's plan.

'Nan Xiangwan: I called for same-city delivery, have a gift for you.'

Gu Beihuai was surprised, hmm?

It's not her coming over, just something being delivered.

Damn, and he was so nervous!

But Nan Xiangwan is actually sending him a gift? This left Gu Beihuai a little shocked and unable to react.

From what he knew of Nan Xiangwan's personality, he didn't think she would have any gifts she wanted to give him.

This inevitably made Gu Beihuai very curious and extremely anticipatory.

Gong Jin was about to cry, he's so miserable, he has to pack up and leave already?

He came to spend months of vacation, but got shooed away by that fox Gu Beihuai for being a nuisance!

Gu Beihuai looked at him with a smile: "No need to leave, help me go downstairs to get the delivery later, takeout."

Gong Jin: "You ordered food?"

Gu Beihuai smugly said: "No, it's my Nannan sending me a gift, same-city delivery."

Gong Jin: "Gross—"

An hour later, the delivery arrived.

Gong Jin went downstairs to get it, came back up and threw it on the sofa.

Gu Beihuai reacted swiftly to rush over and catch it.

He turned back and yelled at Gong Jin: "Why are you throwing it around? What if it breaks?"

He hasn't even seen what it is yet, and it's from his little one, can't be handled so roughly.

Gong Jin conceded: "It won't break."

Gu Beihuai ignored him and took out a box on his own, inside was a pair of conceptual glasses.

The moment he saw the glasses, Gu Beihuai was honestly shocked.

Not because of how high-tech they were, but because he didn't expect Nan Xiangwan to send him this.

He was very touched, although he didn't know how to use them.

After glancing through the instructions, Gu Beihuai was even more shocked.

What do conceptual glasses mean?

That is, generally not available for sale, mostly still in research and development, just design concepts, unable to be produced for various reasons.

But what was this thing he was holding in his hands?

Gu Beihuai had just put on the glasses when a message from Nan Xiangwan came in.

'Nan Xiangwan: Hurry, got the glasses? Let's video chat, I want to see.'

Gu Beihuai avoided Gong Jin and went back to his room, first connecting the glasses to the home wifi, then going online, downloading basic software, and opening the video function on the glasses.

It was amazing, although worn over his eyes, he could video call.

The experience was just like VR imaging, the enlarged face of Nan Xiangwan appearing inside the glasses.

Gu Beihuai smiled instantly: "Move back from the camera, I can see your..."

Nostril hair.

Nan Xiangwan ignored him, looking curiously at the screen: "So amazing! Do you know, you're shown full upper body on my phone screen, I'll screenshot it for you."

Gu Beihuai: "Where did you get these glasses?"

Such high tech, even conceptual products, how did Nan Xiangwan obtain them?

Nan Xiangwan: "Oh, Dogzi gave them to me, pretty good right?"

Gu Beihuai's face instantly darkened in the video!
