Chapter 885: An invitation!

When they returned to the mountain villa, Xia Ning sat on the sofa in the living room, unwilling to go back to her room to rest.

Zheng Ziming had no choice but to sit with her. He knew that she was afraid of the dark and afraid of being alone.

The reason why her bedroom was arranged in a grayish-white color was so that she could adapt to that color.

Zheng Ziming looked at Xia Ning, who was hugging her legs and lying on the sofa.Astria, do you want something to drink? he asked.

Xia Ning shook her head.

Are you hungry? You didnt eat anything after we got off the plane.

Xia Ning still shook her head.

Zheng Ziming sighed.Astria, I dont want to advise you on anything, but I hope that youll put yourself first at all times.

Im just a little upset. Xia Ning closed her eyes and smiled bitterly.Sometimes, I think Im quite silly.

What?

I treated Qiao Yu the same way I treated you guys. Perhaps, that was a mistake. Xia Ning looked at Zheng Ziming and said in a low voice,Ive always wanted to take on everything, but he might not need me to do this. Now, it seems that Ive been thinking too much.

Hearing this, Zheng Ziming frowned and said in a deep voice,Thats because hes useless and cant protect you.

No, I didnt give him the chance to protect me. Xia Ning sighed.Forget it. Theres no point in saying all this now.

Zheng Ziming looked at Xia Ning and was relieved to see that she was calm. Regardless of whether she had thought it through, he was sure that she was very clear-headed now.

After a while, Xia Ning asked Zheng Ziming to go back. She needed some quiet time.

She turned off the lights in the living room and walked alone in the dark corridor to the closed childrens door. She took out the key and opened the door.

The room was pitch-black, and the dazzling pink color from the day had blended into the darkness.

Xia Ning walked to the bed and sat down. She reached out for a h.e.l.lo Kitty from the cabinet and looked at it for a while before holding it in her arms. Perhaps this way, she would feel less lonely.

She had always been alone. She was alone in the past, she was alone now, and she would probably be alone in the future.

The next morning, Zheng Ziming came over early in the morning and brought Xia Ning breakfast.

Xia Ning sat at the dining table and ate her breakfast quietly. She handed over her work calmly, as if nothing had happened the day before.

Im going to finish filming Jin Yans movie first, then the movie youve chosen for me. Ill meet the director later. Also, Id like to meet the chairman of Apple TV. The matter from last time hasnt been settled yet, so I want an explanation.

Zheng Ziming picked up a piece of cake and placed it on Xia Nings plate.I know about the movie. Apple TVs Chairman has wanted to visit you for a long time. Make an appointment with him later, but dont forget one thing. The Golden Monkey awards opening ceremony will start in a few days. Have you thought about who youre going to walk the red carpet with?

Cant I be alone? Xia Ning frowned.Do I need to bring a man with me wherever I go?

Zheng Ziming nodded.Theres no need for that. Your movie hasnt been released yet, so youre not a popular person. Suddenly, he looked at her with a gloomy look in his eyes.But Jin Yan told me that he would like to invite you to walk the red carpet with him.

Xia Ning glanced at Zheng Ziming.Isnt li Man the favorite to win the champions.h.i.+p this time? Hes not walking the red carpet with Liman?

He wants the three of you to go together to promote his new movie. After all, you three are the main characters. Zheng Zimings eyebrows twitched.But, Astria, I suggest you dont walk the red carpet with them.
