The Love Book

“Huh?” As if waking up for the first time, Phoebe Barnes was violently startled.

But turning her eyes to look, she was even more surprised, and surprised, “Ann Shi?”

She thought she was dreaming and cocked her head, looking at him and blinking hard, “It’s really you?”

The man was dressed in a suit, but without a tie, the first button of the collar unbuttoned, formal with a little casual, except for the tanned complexion looks more healthy and handsome, hardly any change could be seen.

Looking at her eyes are still tender and affectionate, smile Rong is still warm, “It’s really me.”

Phoebe Barnes stood up and couldn’t help but raise her hand to touch his arm, and only then did she believe that the person who suddenly appeared in front of her was really Ann Shi, who she thought was recovering from her injuries abroad, “You, aren’t you injured? How come?”

The man lost his smile, “At that time, I was just physically exhausted, so I rested in the hospital for two days, I was not injured, I didn’t tell you to come back, I also just wanted to give you a surprise here.”

“A surprise indeed.” Phoebe Barnes mumbled a smile, but in her heart, she cursed John Lu guy several times, how dare he lie to her again.

Ann Shi looked at the little face that had been in his heart for a long time, and finally saw it, and countless emotions came over him, and he could not wait to take her into his arms, but his reason was telling him again and again that he could not, and that struggle and repression made him bitter inside.

He couldn’t help but pour himself a glass of red wine and take a sip, looking away, waiting for the sweetness to press down the bitterness in his throat before he spoke out in a low, dumb voice, “I heard … you made up with him?”

Phoebe Barnes looked at him, but did not wait for him to look at him over and moved away, smile Rong faded, pursed his lips, nodded gently, “Well.”

The man’s eyes dimmed slightly, “Phoebe, bless you.”

Phoebe Barnes was stunned, then wanted to make a joke to ease the atmosphere, laughing: “Today should be blessed is not me? You were invited over by someone’s bride anyhow …”

“I heard what you said to John Lu on the set earlier.” The man slowly interrupted her, his lips swept up in a light smile.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

In fact, he had woken up in the hospital at that time, when they said the words, John Lu dialed the phone through, so, even without being present, he quite to all her words.

The smile on the woman’s face Rong stiffened for a moment, and then lowered her head, “I’m sorry.”

She wasn’t apologizing for what she said, she just felt like she had hurt him once again.

Ann Shi’s heart moved, raised hand paused for a second or fell on top of her head, gently caressing, light smile, “There is no need to say sorry to me, you like him, until the beginning of time, such a result is not exactly the best.”

Originally he wanted to try one last time, if he was wounded in the desert, would he get a stay from her in return.

But after getting used to her smiling eyes when she looked at him, it was hard to accept her disappointed eyes.

So be it, at least she still cares about him.

Phoebe Barnes blushed a little apologetically, “He did a bad job on this trip to the desert, I apologize for him.”

He withdrew his hand naturally into his pocket and smiled slightly, “This time it’s not about who is right and who is wrong, if it were me, I wouldn’t be that generous, besides, there’s no need for a woman to stoop to apologize for such problems between men.”

“…”

Phoebe Barnes pursed her lips for a moment.

Asking Kemp Ross to apologize?

That would be harder than the sky, let alone to his own love interest, who probably felt he hadn’t done enough.

“Shi-sensei!”

A soft and pleasant female voice suddenly came out from the side.

Before Phoebe Barnes could react, she saw that the man’s expression, which was warm and welcoming just a moment ago, instantly turned bad.

He frowned, and his tone was clearly annoyed, “Why are you following me here again?”

Phoebe Barnes was surprised, could not help but reach out and push him away, looked at the woman walking behind him, a neat professional dress, but the aura is not at all like a workplace seasoned strong woman, twenty-something, with a pair of black-framed glasses, quiet and beautiful, but like a well-behaved female secretary.

“This is …” she blinked.

This is the staff?

It seemed to be the first time she had seen any female staff around Ann Shi.

When the girl saw her, she hurriedly greeted politely, but smiled and was still a bit shy and introverted, “Hello, my name is Su Yue, Shi’s teacher’s new assistant.”

The words were interrupted by the man’s cold voice, “When did I ever promise you to be my assistant? Didn’t I tell you that I don’t need a new assistant?”

Phoebe Barnes blinked again, and this time there seemed to be something more under her eyes.

Su Yue was frightened by his gloomy tone, shrank her neck and said awkwardly and embarrassingly, “Mr. Shi, then I can also work in your studio, as long as I can stay there to do whatever you want.”

Ann Shi, “…”

He took a breath, as if forcing himself to calm down, and said in a deep voice, “I have no shortage of anyone over there, Miss Su, please stop pestering me.”

“Phoebe, I’m going to go find John Lu for something, I’ll come back to you later.”

Before she could nod, he took a step and already walked away, not even looking at Su Yue, his face was a bit ugly.

The girl didn’t follow her this time and took the initiative to talk to her, “You’re Miss Barnes, right?”

“Well, it’s me, hello.” Phoebe Barnes glanced again at Ann Shi’s departing back, and with a flash of consciousness, smiled lightly, “Are you the staff member who got lost with him in the desert?”

The woman smiled embarrassedly, “Well, that’s me, it’s all my fault for being so stupid, I did Mr. Shi a lot of harm in those days, if it wasn’t for me he wouldn’t have been in such a mess lying in the hospital for another day.”

“It’s normal to not know wilderness survival skills if you don’t travel a lot, so to speak, I may be even dumber than you, but … what I’m curious about is that you managed to piss him off.” Phoebe Barnes was genuinely amazed.

She had known him for so many years and knew that he was almost like a constant temperature air-conditioned room, always giving off a gentle nonchalant state, refined and poised, probably only showing a very cold aura in front of Kemp Ross, but that was also mainly because of her.

Rather, it was this obvious anger and impatience that she had never really seen on his face.

Her careless tone, but it made Su Yue’s shy embarrassment more intense, embarrassed little face began to flush, “Maybe I’ve been bugging him too much lately. He saved my life, how can I say I have to repay.”

Phoebe Barnes looked at her with a twinkle in her eye and could not help but hook her lips playfully, “There are many ways to repay, why do you have to stay with him? What did you do for a living before?”

She suddenly felt that this woman was quite interesting.

Su Yue, “I followed the crew as a scene recorder, after I came back from the desert this time, I quit my job, Mr. Shi is also an artist, I think staying by his side should help him.”
