192: Chapter 193 Departure - To Shanghai
Jiang Jing regained his senses, smiled, and didn't elaborate, just vaguely saying: "It's nothing major, I'm just thinking about my next itinerary. Should I go to Magic City early to help a friend handle some things, or should I relax for two days before going?"
Seeing that it wasn't convenient for him to speak clearly, the women sensibly didn't press for details.
Da Mimi, as the leader, spoke up first with a serious tone: "Since it's important business, then business comes first. You can play anytime; don't let leisure delay important matters."
Leng Ba nodded in agreement: "That's right, Brother Jiang Jing. Sister Mi is right, business is important."
Tong Liya looked at him gently: "Mm, go ahead and handle it. It's the same if we wait for you to come back before having fun."
Although they all hoped to spend more time with Jiang Jing, they understood priorities and didn't want to affect his work because of themselves.
Hearing their words, Jiang Jing was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahaha! Well said! I've been too comfortable lately, I didn't see things as clearly as you all!"
He patted the railing, his eyes becoming clear and firm: "Alright! Then it's settled, we'll set off for Magic City today!"
Seeing Jiang Jing make the decision, a hint of undetectable reluctance appeared on the women's faces.
"Have a safe trip!"
"Send us a message when you arrive."
"Come back early when you're done!"
Just then, Nazha, standing to the side, suddenly rolled her large eyes, a flash of wit sparking through them. She raised her hand excitedly and said:
"Hey! Brother Jiang Jing! I don't actually have anything to do lately! My new drama just wrapped up, and I have a gap in my schedule."
"How about... I accompany you to Magic City? I can look after you on the way and keep you company! Of course, if you don't mind~"
As soon as she said this, Da Mimi, Leng Ba, Tong Liya, and the others were stunned!
Several pairs of beautiful eyes looked at Nazha in unison, filled with surprise, admiration, and a trace of... annoyance!
That's right! Why hadn't they thought of that?!
They had been too busy expressing support and forgot about "accompanying" him!
Accompanying Jiang Jing to Magic City! This was an excellent opportunity for some alone time!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jing was delighted: "Of course I don't mind! Having a beauty for company is great, the journey won't be boring!"
"Yay! That's great!" Nazha almost jumped up with joy, winking triumphantly at her sisters, as if to say, "I accept your concession."
Watching Nazha's clever, "mission accomplished" look, a wave of intense envy and regret washed over the other women!
'You sly Nazha! You're usually so quiet, but your brain turns so fast at critical moments!' Da Mimi thought to herself.
She still had some business to handle at her company and couldn't follow Jiang Jing as leisurely as Nazha.
'Ahhh! Why didn't I think of that! I want to go too!' Leng Ba stomped her feet in frustration, feeling only envy at this moment.
Although Tong Liya was also very envious, her personality made her too embarrassed to compete with Nazha, and she had already received Jiang Jing's "gift," so she felt relatively satisfied, though a trace of regret still showed in her eyes.
Thus, under the complex gazes of the women, Nazha happily took Jiang Jing's arm, as if she could already see the wonderful duo trip to Magic City ahead.
Soon, Jiang Jing and Nazha simply packed their luggage, bid farewell to everyone, and left the yacht.
...
A luxurious car drove steadily on the highway leading to the airport. The interior was spacious and quiet, as if isolated from the noise outside.
The female assistant driving in the front seat kept her eyes focused on the road ahead, her expression professional and calm.
However, her heart was far from as calm as she appeared.
Through the rearview mirror, she could clearly see her artist, currently almost glued to the young tycoon, holding his arm and smiling so sweetly and brightly. Where was the cold goddess persona she usually had in front of the camera?
What celebrity image?
What maintaining distance?
In front of a real capital tycoon and the man she admired, these rules seemed to become insignificant.
The female assistant couldn't help but have an "insubordinate" thought: How good would it be if she could take Nazha's place...
But she quickly shook her head, dispelling this unrealistic thought, and forced herself to focus on driving.
A person of this level was not someone she could covet; doing her job well was what mattered.
In the back seat, Nazha didn't care what the assistant was thinking; she was immersed in the sweet atmosphere of being alone with Jiang Jing.
She held Jiang Jing's sturdy arm, turned to the side, tilted her little face up, and excitedly shared with Jiang Jing the interesting things she encountered on set, gossip about friends in the industry, and her views on some fashion brands.
Jiang Jing leaned back in his seat, listening to the crisp, pleasant voice of the beauty beside him, smelling the faint fragrance coming from her, nodding from time to time, or responding with a sentence or two. He felt very relaxed and happy.
He looked at Nazha's pretty face close at hand.
Sunlight spilled onto her face through the car window, her skin fair and delicate. Those large eyes with obvious exotic features flickered, and when she smiled, her eyes rippled with light, looking around brilliantly.
Her high nose bridge and full red lips outlined extremely three-dimensional features, which, when combined, created a breathtaking beauty.
The corners of Jiang Jing's mouth curled into a smile unconsciously.
To be honest, he had always had a very good impression of Nazha, especially since watching that comedy movie she starred in with Deng Chao years ago.
Thinking of this, he said naturally: "Nazha, speaking of which, I've actually been a casual fan of yours for a long time."
"Hm?" Nazha was talking enthusiastically. She was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then her eyes lit up. She asked curiously: "Really? Brother Jiang Jing, you've paid attention to me before?"
"Of course," Jiang Jing nodded with a smile, his eyes carrying memories, "Especially that movie The Breakup Guru you starred in with Deng Chao. The character you played in it was beautiful and cool, and a bit stubborn, but especially real and cute."
"Honestly, after that movie, you left a very deep impression on me."
