Son, “Mom” Will Back You

The little assistant was feeble. "Can I ask what it is? So that I will at least have an idea?"

"No, you can\'t."

Little assistant, "… …"

Luo Xiu smiled. "You will probably have an idea when we arrived at the studio tomorrow."

Luo Zheng, "… … …"

Oh, my lord.

All he was asking for was a quick and painless death!

As such, when Gu Nian had finished her arrangement with the driver and went into the hotel lobby, the first thing that she saw was the complicated and resentful look from the little assistant.

Gu Nian, "… …"

She had brought Luo Xiu back before 11 PM as she had promised. Why did Zhu Hanyu give her the look that he wanted to fight her to death?

Gu Nian slowed down her steps hesitantly and finally stopped next to Luo Xiu. "Mr. Luo Xiu, since your assistant is here already, I am not going to walk you upstairs. You should head up soon and get some rest."

Luo Xiu asked her in a low voice, "You are still going to go back?"

At loss, Gu Nian nodded, "Yeah, of course."

Luo Xiu glanced over at the dark night outside and said tenderly, "It\'s late and the road into the mountain is far. It\'d be midnight by the time you get back. Why don\'t you stay at a hotel in town instead?"

Her precious son\'s voice was low, melodious, and very caring. Gu Nian was so touched that she almost nodded in agreement.

Luckily, there was still a shred of rationality remained in her.

Gu Nian had no choice but to painfully turned down the precious opportunity for a long mother-and-son talk and said to him, "Xiaoqing is still at the restaurant. She drank quite a bit tonight; I am not comfortable to just let her return with the others."

"… …"

Recalling the girl who was all over Gu Nian, laughing and messing around, and fully taking advantage of her tonight, a cold look flashed past Luo Xiu\'s eyes.

He suppressed the look quickly. "There should be other rooms available at the hotel. Book a couple more rooms so the two of you can just stay here."

Gu Nian waved her hand solemnly, "The production team did not prepare rooms here for regular workers nor can little screenwriters like us afford a 4-star hotel like this one."

Luo Xiu laughed when he saw her straight face. He lowered his eyes some and said, "I\'ll have Hanyu book them for you. It is my birthday. It\'s only right for me to pay for your hotel rooms."

Luo Xiu turned and immediately after he had lifted his arm to gesture at Zhu Hanyu, who had been sent to one side by him earlier, Gu Nian, who had recollected herself, had already lunged at him and held onto his arm.

"You can\'t do that!"

"… …"

Luo Xiu paused. The emotions in his eyes deepened. He slowly looked down after he remained stiffened for a couple of seconds.

The girl held onto his arm with a very solemn look, "How can a mo…, ahem, an older sister allow you to pay for her?"

Luo Xiu paused again.

A few seconds later, he smiled. His voice low and dull, as though the coldness in the mountain had been mixed in with it. "Oh, so now you are my older sister again?"

Gu Nian, feeling a guilty conscience, her eyes unfocused. "I have… al-, always been, no?"

Luo Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly.

After everything that she had done, she had returned to her starting point. Even Zhu Hanyu could see her playing-hard-to-get technique clearly. She wasn\'t even good at it.

Luo Xiu would admit that it was working quite well on him nonetheless.

In the midst of the peculiar atmosphere, the little assistant had already got the message and walked quickly over to the two of them.

"You need me, Brother Luo? What\'s ---"

Walking up to them, Zhu Hanyu noticed that Gu Nian was holding onto Luo Xiu\'s wrist and refusing to get go. He immediately looked at Gu Nian with alarm and was ready to pull her away as soon as Luo Xiu gave him the words.
