Chapter 554: I Can't Promise You

"I... I'll think about it first, and I'll give you an answer tonight, okay?"

"Okay, here's what we'll do. I'll give you a little more time. Tomorrow at noon. In the evening, I've arranged for Gu Yeqi and their management team to discuss this CP (couple pairing) thing. I'll also rush back to meet you in the evening."

Song Yin seemed to have something else to do. After finishing her conversation, Chen Shu gave Mu Xiaoyu some instructions and then hung up the phone.

It was at this moment that Mu Xiaoyu saw the message sent by Li Chenxu when she checked her text messages.

She read the text message expressionlessly, then deleted it and blacklisted Li Chenxu's number.

After doing all this, she immediately sent a text message to Chen Shu, agreeing to the idea that Chen Shu had just proposed.

Let's just pretend she's all alone for now. In that case, she'll prioritize herself in everything.

As for Li Chenxu, to hell with him!

At this moment, Li Chenxu, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, had no idea that Mu Xiaoyu had already blacklisted him.

The scripts that Chen Shu sent to Mu Xiaoyu were all very simple, not difficult to perform, but the character settings were very good, and the quality of the scripts was also good. No matter which one Mu Xiaoyu chose, it would be a good choice as Mu Xiaoyu's debut film and television work.

However, Mu Xiaoyu had not received any formal training in acting and was unsure about how to handle these aspects. She selected a few scripts that she thought were good and then consulted Chen Shu for her opinion before finalizing the script.

The meeting place for that evening with Gu Yeqi and his team was a members-only restaurant. Mu Xiaoyu had some scheduling issues that caused a slight delay, so it was already quite late when she arrived.

Gu Yeqi was sitting in the private room playing on his phone. He had seen something, and his handsome face was full of undisguised smiles.

The smile became even brighter when Mu Xiaoyu arrived.

"Sister Xiaoyu, you're here!"

Mu Xiaoyu nodded weakly. She didn't know if it was because she had eaten those low-fat meals or because she hadn't slept well last night, but she felt unwell all day. As a result, she didn't have the strength to greet Gu Yeqi.

Gu Yeqi noticed that something was wrong with her and quickly got up to walk to Mu Xiaoyu's side, looking at her with concern: "Sister Xiaoyu, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a little carsick."

Seeing Mu Xiaoyu like this, Gu Yeqi suddenly remembered that he still hadn't picked up the test reports from last night: "Sister Xiaoyu, did you pick up the rest of the test reports from yesterday? I had a full schedule today, so I didn't have time to ask you."

"I didn't take it, it's okay."

"No, let's go to the hospital after we finish talking about the CP (couple) issue."

Although Gu Yeqi is young and listens to Mu Xiaoyu in most other matters, he is very insistent when it comes to Mu Xiaoyu's health.

Mu Xiaoyu couldn't refuse Gu Yeqi, so she finally nodded in agreement.

There were no problems with Gu Yeqi's side regarding the CP (couple pairing) issue. In addition, Chen Shu and Gu Yeqi's agent were old acquaintances, so the cooperation negotiations went very smoothly. The two sides only explained their respective precautions before signing the contract.

"Actually, I don't really want to create a sibling-like couple image."

After signing his name, Gu Yeqi muttered to himself. Everyone present, except for Mu Yang and the others, knew what he felt for Mu Xiaoyu, so naturally he didn't want to form a sibling-like relationship with her.

If the two of them ever get together, this sibling-like couple will still be a problem.

Mu Xiaoyu pretended not to hear and waited until the contract was signed before saying, "I know about Chen Man's matter, Ye Qi. Actually, you don't need to do so much for me. I really don't know how to repay you."

Mu Xiaoyu spoke sincerely, without any pretense or politeness. She liked Gu Yeqi, but only from the perspective of seeing him as a younger brother. She knew Gu Yeqi's feelings for her, but she couldn't reciprocate them. Because of this, she felt particularly guilty towards Gu Yeqi.

Gu Yeqi glanced at Mu Xiaoyu with some dissatisfaction and muttered, "Sister Xiaoyu, I never thought about asking you to repay me. I admit that although sometimes I still yearn to be with you, in reality, I feel that as long as I can stay by your side, I will be satisfied. Sister Xiaoyu, what you said just now was really too distant."

Gu Yeqi felt hurt, and his expression became somewhat aggrieved.

Mu Xiaoyu was speechless after Gu Yeqi's words, and unable to bear seeing Gu Yeqi like this, she could only say, "Then I won't say such things in the future, but you have to promise me that you will do such things less often in the future, after all, it's not easy to repay favors."

Gu Yeqi wasn't really angry with Mu Xiaoyu. Now that Mu Xiaoyu had said that, his mood naturally brightened.

"Is everything settled?"

Chen Shu's flight was delayed today. She said she would be back later than usual, and that she didn't need to wait for her when signing the contract.

Mu Xiaoyu originally thought that Chen Shu would not make it today, but she did not expect that she would arrive at this time.

Mu Xiaoyu stood up, made room for Chen Shu, and then said, "The negotiations are over, and the contract has just been signed. Sister Chen, would you like to take a look?"

"There's no need to look at the contract. My main purpose in coming here tonight is to have something I want to say to Gu Yeqi."

Chen Shu is a strong woman who acts decisively in many things and speaks and acts straightforwardly. When she said these words, her eyes looked at Gu Yeqi with a sharpness that she hadn't shown before.

Gu Yeqi is not an ordinary child, so naturally he wouldn't be frightened by Chen Shu's appearance.

Seeing Chen Shu like this, he couldn't help but straighten his back and look at her seriously: "Sister Chen, just say what you want to say."

"Okay, that's straightforward. I won't waste any more words, Gu Yeqi. I know what you think of Xiaoyu. If Xiaoyu likes you, that's fine, I won't interfere in your relationship. But at least for now, Xiaoyu doesn't like you, so I hope you can abide by the terms of the contract and maintain a relationship with Xiaoyu and her siblings that is not related to you."

Chen Shu's words were very blunt; she was on Mu Xiaoyu's side and naturally wouldn't consider Gu Yeqi's feelings.

If it were a boy like Gu Yeqi, he would have been embarrassed to hear Chen Shu say such a thing.

However, Gu Yeqi did not. Instead, he looked at Chen Shu with unusual calmness and said, "Sister Chen Shu, I cannot agree to this unless you can give me a suitable reason to convince me."
