“I’m fine. It’s only a small cut on my knee. I can still carry Xiao Liuliu.” Nian Xiaomu spoke up and reached out to take Xiao Liuliu from him.
The next moment, Xiao Liuliu turned over and nestled herself into Nian Xiaomu’s bosom.
Then, she looked aggrievedly back at Yu Yuehan with her big, wide eyes!
Yu Yuehan: “…”
The butler quickly returned with the medical kit.
Nian Xiaomu did not need to be taken care of. She took out a tube of anti-inflammatory ointment from the kit and squeezed a bit of it onto her palm. Then, she casually rubbed her hand over her knee and gave herself a clap.
“Done. It’s fine now.”
She tossed the ointment back into the medical kit and stretched her legs. When she was about to get up, she heard a low voice speak.
“Where were you just now?”
“…” Nian Xiaomu pouted and hesitated to tell the truth.
“Did you go to look for Shangxin?” Yu Yuehan threw a glance at her, and his gaze was cold. As he sat across from her with his long legs crossed, his domineering atmosphere turned the living room into a court hearing.
If she were to try to lie, he would see through her in a second.
“…” Nian Xiaomu looked up in surprise. She had not expected him to know about the endorsement deal.
“I found out that Shangxin only accepts high-end runway shows and does not take on events and endorsements. However, I feel that it’s not because she does not want to do them. Maybe she has difficulties that she cannot talk about. I must get to the bottom of this matter.”
Nian Xiaomu did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point since he had brought up the topic.
Yu Yuehan had made a name for himself ever since he was a youth. When he joined the Yu Corporation, he had taken over the commercial world by storm.
His name struck awe in everyone!
Crowned the top genius of the commercial world, he was a young prodigy who lifted the Yu Corporation to greater heights in merely a few years, making the Yu family the highest ranking clan in City H.
Nian Xiaomu had heard about his legendary past before she entered the Yu Corporation.
If he was willing to give her any advice, she could be only very thankful.
“I have tried to contact her directly to discuss this deal, but I haven’t been able to get hold of Shangxin. In fact, not only Shangxin, even her manager is nowhere to be found.”
This was an aspect that Nian Xiaomu could not figure out.
Why would anyone reject an opportunity to make money without at least discussing it?
Even if Shangxin did not care about fame and wealth, surely not everyone around her would have the same devil-may-care attitude toward money right?
Unless, there was a bigger difficulty that outweighed these profits.
“Let’s eat first.” Yu Yuehan’s eyes flickered before he reached out to take Xiao Liuliu from her arms. Then, he turned and walked into the dining room.
Nian Xiaomu stared at his back and only followed behind him when she snapped back to her senses after a long while.
She sensed that he had to know a hidden secret. So, during the entire dinner, she put on her best subservient behavior.
“Young Master, this dish is yummy. You should eat more of it.”
“And this is your favorite wild sea bass…”
“Butler, is the soup ready? I’ll pour a bowl of soup for Young Master…”
“…”
As Yu Yuehan watched Nian Xiaomu leave her food untouched and fawn over him, a subtle smile appeared on his otherwise stoic face.
He held up the bowl of soup slowly and took a sip.
“Young Master, what do you think of the taste? If you like it, I’ll pour another bowl for you,” Nian Xiaomu said with a large smile plastered on her face.
Xiao Liuliu sat in her high chair and watched blankly as Nian Xiaomu’s chopsticks picked up a piece of her favorite meat. She was about to hold her bowl out for this piece of meat when she saw Nian Xiaomu place it into Yu Yuehan’s bowl instead.
Nian Xiaomu didn’t even take a look at her. Xiao Liuliu stuck her lower lip out in disappointment.
She felt so betrayed that she almost curled up into a ball.
Boohoo, Pretty Sister didn’t love her anymore…
