Chapter 322

Sure enough, when Xiao Dong steamed and brought out corn, sweet potatoes and other things, the large bowl in front of Nan XiangWan was already empty.

Xiao Dong: "Nan XiangWan, do you want to get your body checked?"

Nan XiangWan: "Why?"

Xiao Dong looked worried: "You eat so much yet don't gain any weight."

Nan XiangWan: "I exercise a lot."

Xiao Dong: "I came at 6 o'clock and you didn't lift any weights."

Nan XiangWan: "I lifted until 2 o'clock yesterday."

Xiao Dong: "..."

Alright, looking at you this morning, you mean you practiced late at night, don't you?

Seeing Nan XiangWan eating with relish, Xiao Dong looked around feeling something was off with this house.

Xiao Dong: "Nan XiangWan, is there anyone else living here?"

Nan XiangWan: "Pfft!"

She immediately sprayed out the corn in her mouth, spraying Xiao Dong's face. She also choked on a mouthful, and started coughing violently.

She coughed until her face was red!

Xiao Dong's face sank, and she abruptly stood up: "Nan XiangWan, you're obviously hiding something!"

With that said, Xiao Dong's face became steely as she started checking room by room. She would definitely find something today!

How could Nan XiangWan be so unprincipled as to actually hide someone at home!

Xiao Dong trembled with anger as she thought of many bad things.

It was mid-July now, and Nan XiangWan's 18th birthday would be on August 22nd, just over a month before she became an adult.

That meant that the current Nan XiangWan was only 17 years old and had actually dared to hide someone at home? Does she even know what constitutes underage dating?!

And hiding someone?!

Who was she hiding?

Could it be King Gu?!

Were the two of them living together now?!

Even if Nan XiangWan was ignorant, what was King Gu thinking? Doesn't he know he can't be involved with a minor?!

Can't he wait just two more months?! Would he die otherwise?!

Xiao Dong was furious to the extreme!

She checked each room one by one, rummaging through the study, computer room, guest room and other rooms that hadn't been used in months.

Nan XiangWan sat at the dining table with a dumbstruck look, occasionally scratching her head.

When Xiao Dong spoke those words earlier she was indeed shocked, but she didn't think it warranted such anger, did it?

The door slamming resounded loudly. Nan XiangWan couldn't help but yell out: "Xiao Dong! That door cost a lot, don't slam it so hard!"

Xiao Dong: "If it breaks, I'll pay you back for it!"

Nan XiangWan was surprised. Was Xiao Dong really that rich?

After a futile search downstairs, Xiao Dong cast her gaze upwards at the spiral staircase. Nan XiangWan's house was a duplex, one of only two two-story apartments in the entire Ji mansion apartment complex, with the upstairs connected directly to the large garden.

Without another word, Xiao Dong ran upstairs, 'thump thump', continuing her search.

Nan XiangWan let her be and continued having a harmonious meal with the food on the table.

Soon there was a shriek from upstairs followed by voices talking.

Xiao Dong: "Ah!"

Caretaker: "My god, you scared me to death!"

Xiao Dong: "Who are you guys?!"

Caretaker: "We are the caretakers here to install monitoring devices and surveillance cameras. And you are...?"

Xiao Dong: "..."

When she returned downstairs again, Nan XiangWan had already finished eating and was standing against the wall digesting her food.

Xiao Dong's expression was strange but her anger had dissipated. Turns out it was just the caretakers installing things upstairs and she had overthought it.

But...

Xiao Dong: "Miss Nan, why did you suddenly need to install so many cameras everywhere?"

The whole house, except for the washroom and bedroom Nan XiangWan slept in herself, had cameras covering every angle. Especially upstairs in the garden and doorway which had many cameras installed.

Nan XiangWan: "Oh, King Gu said they needed to be installed. I personally didn't think it was necessary. It was just my address being leaked, I can handle anyone that tries to attack me."

Xiao Dong was anxious: "Your address was leaked?!"

Had something happened that she didn't know about?

Nan XiangWan: "Regarding that case with the corpse dumped into a well last time - the murderer sent the victim's hair to my house. So they know my address."

Xiao Dong: "!!!"

Feeling dizzy, Xiao Dong grabbed Nan XiangWan's hand in a panic. "Miss Nan! Let's move houses!"

Nan XiangWan: "Can't afford it."

Xiao Dong: "......"

Half an hour later, the two set off for the filming site of The Singer.

Today's stylist was Monica, who had already arrived.

As soon as Monica came over she complained: "The effeminate guy who prepared clothes for you last time chose gaudy outfits called 'Starry Sky' or something? What was he thinking!"

As soon as Nan XiangWan heard this, she knew what was coming - the two stylists went through the same routine every time they came over, fiercely criticizing each other first!

So she immediately closed her eyes on the spot, pretending to fall asleep whether she could actually sleep or not.

But unexpectedly, after five seconds her breathing became steady and she looked completely serene.

Monica: "......"

Xiao Dong: "......"

In the adjacent lounge, Yang Rongjun was chatting with an old artist.

The man was called Yan Qin, similar in age and status in the music industry as Yang Rongjun.

Yang Rongjun: "Master Yan, what brings you here to chat with me?"

Yan Qin: "I've been semi-retired these years so I'm a bit out of touch. I came to get a feel for the stage again."

Yang Rongjun: "With your vocals and foundation, how could you ever feel out of touch?"

Yan Qin smiled and nodded: "Speaking of which, I hope that girl Wu Sisi hasn't caused you any trouble?"

Yang Rongjun: "Hm? Are you two..."

Yan Qin: "She's the daughter of one of my old friends! I'm the one who taught her to sing!"

Yang Rongjun: "I see."

Yan Qin went on smiling: "Sisi already won the Golden Melody Awards twice before. She released a new album this year with decent sales figures, so she should be able to compete for it again. If so, that would be three consecutive wins! I believe the only other person to accomplish that was the legendary King Gu back in the day?"

Saying this, Yan Qin looked extremely proud.

Yang Rongjun awkwardly laughed: "Master Yan, I'm afraid it won't be easy to win this year's Golden Melody Awards."

Yan Qin was surprised: "Why's that?"

Yang Rongjun: "You've been semi-retired for a while so perhaps you haven't been following the latest music charts?"

Yan Qin: "I haven't been following them. There have been few impressive new singers in recent years if you ask me."

Yang Rongjun: "Well there's an incredible new artist this year, so I suggest you go back and take a closer look."

Yan Qin frowned: "Master Yang, what is the meaning of this?"

Yang Rongjun: "Oh, I was just waiting to get my makeup done since it takes a while. Can't chat more, sorry! Why don't you go take a look at your pupil first?"

Knowing he was being dismissed, Yan Qin said his goodbyes with a smile.

He headed out to the corridor and opened the door of Wu Sisi's lounge.

Wu Sisi hadn't started getting styled yet at the moment and was lying on the sofa with a facial mask on.

After Yan Qin closed the door, he sternly asked: "Sisi, tell me the truth. Exactly why did you ask me to come over?"

Wu Sisi lifted her mask and sat up, looking very wronged. "Teacher, your disciple is being bullied!"

Yan Qin frowned. "You're a Golden Melody Awards winner still young with lots of potential. Who could bully you?"

Wu Sisi: "Go online and see for yourself, teacher. That Nan XiangWan is so arrogant! And people are even chasing after me to scold me as a big mouth!"
