Seeing Jiang Mubai come back, Manman and Shangluo were still sitting there, so they immediately picked her up from left to right and kept questioning her.
The press conference had already begun to be rehearsed in advance. Jiang Mubai had a dry mouth and poured himself a glass of water to relieve the soreness in his mouth. No need to guess that Ren Xueer must have done it on purpose. He had no choice but to use this small trick. Be proud of yourself.
"You two let me rest for a while. Can you answer the press conference for me later?" Jiang Mubai's throat felt like smoke was rising. He said more words this day than he had before.
She could understand that they were worried, but now there was nothing they could do. All they could do was wait for the afternoon press conference.
Jiang Mubai counted the minutes and seconds that passed by. Seeing the time getting closer and closer, she became more and more nervous. Although it was true that there had been such press conferences before, this time it was completely different.
He used to have special speaking skills, but now he even has an uncontrollable Qin Yuanqing. Once he says something that cannot be said, he may be destroyed.
Listening to the noisy sounds outside, Jiang Mubai knew that the time was coming soon. She did not dress up but wore ordinary casual clothes. The makeup on her face was put on casually when she got up in the morning.
"Sister Mubai, do you think it's really possible?" Manman followed her, feeling very worried.
"Don't worry, I'll wait for you to come back no matter what." Shangluo glanced in the direction of Qin Yuanqing. He had been waiting there early, and she could naturally tell what he was thinking about Jiang Mubai.
Jiang Mubai didn't say anything and finally just nodded to them, and then followed Qin Yuanqing and they both disappeared at the elevator door.
Today's press conference also borrowed the hotel's space. It was originally a temporary venue found outside. As soon as Qin Yuanqing heard about it, he immediately arranged it in the lobby of the middle floor. The place usually only used to receive senior executives was now full of reporters.
The two of them sat in the front under everyone's gaze. Looking at the dark crowd, Jiang Mubai's palms became a little sweaty. When he was about to look away, he saw Cheng Yunchuan standing on the side. His heart, which had been uneasy just now, calmed down. Quite a few.
From the beginning, reporters asked questions one after another. Fortunately, there was a field controller to control the scene, so Jiang Mubai was able to answer them one by one.
Although the questions were outrageous, most of them were within Jiang Mubai's expectation. She and Qin Yuanqing had already reached a verbal agreement. She also revealed that the two were going to cooperate at the beginning of the year, which even made some reporters daydream.
"I don't think it's right to say this. There are many kinds of likes but only one kind of appreciation. I admire Teacher Jiang's performance very much. I also recommend that those who have not seen Teacher Jiang's performance take a look. The documentary that has not yet been released is more worth looking forward to."
Qin Yuanqing did not sit still and wait for death. Jiang Mubai specially prepared a script for him in case something unexpected happened today. Listening to the content, she suddenly found that Qin Yuanqing did not follow the content, but at least there was nothing wrong with the content.
After an hour of trembling, Jiang Mubai's back was soaked with sweat. He stumbled unconsciously when he stood up because he had been sitting for too long. Just when Qin Yuanqing wanted to reach out to help her, Shangluo quickly rushed up and hugged her. .
Seeing that it was Shang Luo, Jiang Mubai also leaned closer with relief. How could the reporters in the audience let this scene go by, and gave the two CP fans a hard time.
Qin Yuanqing also went back to the lounge under the guidance of the staff. In order to avoid suspicion, he stayed far away from the rest room. Cheng Yunchuan sneaked into Jiang Mubai's lounge while the people dispersed.
The staff were also struggling to stop the reporters who wanted to catch up, and Shangluo and Jiang Mubai did not dare to stop at all.
"He is waiting for you inside. I will go back to the room first." Before Jiang Mubai could react, Shangluo pushed him into the lounge. The curtains inside were drawn and the light was very dark. She could only see a person sitting on the sofa. .
"There are reporters outside, where are you going?" Yes, where could she go, but Jiang Mubai didn't want to stay in the room, and she really had nothing to say to him.
Jiang Mubai put his hand down on the doorknob. It was still very noisy outside. Reporters must be looking for the two of them. I hope Qin Yuanqing won't talk nonsense.
She was by his side when he was on stage, but now Jiang Mubai couldn't guarantee it. After all, he had completed their agreement.
"You don't want to see me that much?" The footsteps behind him became more and more intense, and Jiang Mubai had nowhere to escape and didn't turn around.
She heard Cheng Yunchuan finally stop next to her. It wasn't that she didn't want to see him, but sometimes Jiang Mubai felt confused.
Cheng Yunchuan turned her around to face him, only to realize that Jiang Mubai was crying but still stubbornly not looking at him, just like a wronged little daughter-in-law.
"Who knows why you are angry? It seems like I did something wrong in the end of what was promised." Jiang Mubai could no longer bear the grievance in her heart. How could she endure so much when she was already under great pressure and tempered.
Cheng Yunchuan hugged her into his arms, reached out and patted Jiang Mubai's back gently.
"I'm not angry. Things were indeed agreed upon, but the cooperation was not what we agreed on. I was worried that he would hurt you." Cheng Yunchuan hugged him tightly for fear that the person in front of him would disappear if he let go.
Jiang Mubai couldn't listen to his explanation, but he cried even more sadly, as if he wanted to cry out all his recent grievances.
"I didn't understand you. I'm sorry. It's my fault. Can you let me be by your side to protect you?" Cheng Yunchuan will never allow this to happen again.
"Why do you protect me?" Jiang Mubai struggled in his arms.
"Because I like you." The person who was still struggling suddenly became quiet. He didn't cry for a moment, and the atmosphere suddenly seemed a little awkward.
Cheng Yunchuan didn't take it seriously. Instead, he felt a lot more relaxed. Now he finally had a chance to say what he had been holding back in his heart.
"I like you, so I don't want you to get hurt. I like you, so I want you to be happy. I like you, so I want to be by your side to protect you all the time." Cheng Yunchuan said happily in one breath.
And this sudden confession had already stunned Jiang Mubai. The scandal had just come to an end and now it was coming again, and she was somewhat unable to withstand it.
"I don't want your likes. Don't you know it yet? I am Jiang Mubai, not your movie queen. I don't want to be the movie queen in your eyes. I am just myself and no one's substitute. Do you understand?"
Jiang Mubai used all her strength to push Cheng Yunchuan away. Her mind was confused but she still knew that she didn't want to be anyone's substitute, not even her former self.
Although her name is Jiang Mubai now, she is a completely different person. The person she once was is no longer there.
