Chapter 2678 - 2679: That Really Is Quite a Shame

This kind of red carpet generally has a scheduled lineup, which is similar to a semi-rehearsal. Because the intervals between appearances are not long, there’s a chance that two groups might bump into each other.

Or it could be that the organizers intentionally arrange for two celebrities to walk together, although they usually won’t announce it in advance. While there are occasions when they do announce, this time they didn’t.

So Nangong Xiao checked things out in advance and found that she and Di Yimo were not scheduled at the same time, which indicated that the two of them wouldn’t end up walking together. Only then did Nangong Xiao feel a bit more at ease.

At least, at least they wouldn’t run into each other!

Because, she honestly felt she wasn’t quite mentally prepared yet. She was inexplicably a bit flustered, really meeting under such circumstances!

The awkward thing is, they’re obviously acquaintances but haven’t had much interaction over the years. They don’t even have each other’s contact details or phone numbers, which is really embarrassing!

Therefore, with their red carpet appearances scheduled at different times, it allowed Nangong Xiao to breathe a slight sigh of relief, preventing her from being overly nervous.

However, Guagua couldn’t help but gossip and complain in the car, "Oh my, Xiaoxiao, Yimo is going too, and look at how your times are staggered."

"Yes. I know." Nangong Xiao nodded, couldn’t help but stick out her tongue slightly, thinking to herself it’s a good thing they’re staggered!

"Pff..." Guagua laughed, "You should be walking with him! Otherwise, should I ask if they can shuffle things around so you two can walk together?"

"No way!" Nangong Xiao immediately refused and even threatened, "Brother Gua, don’t cause trouble, I definitely don’t want to walk with him."

"Why?" Guagua blinked, puzzled.

Guagua wasn’t aware of the details between Nangong Xiao and Di Yimo, but knew that they were acquaintances, relatives, that Nangong Xiao was Di Yimo’s aunt.

"Aren’t you two aunt and nephew?" Guagua blurted out, "Wouldn’t it be nice to arrange to walk together in such circumstances? Besides, with Yimo’s status now, and yours, wow, you two walking together would surely hit the headlines. If the media found out about your relationship, tsk tsk, it would trend again."

"You absolutely shouldn’t tell the media anything about our relationship!" Nangong Xiao quickly warned Guagua.

"Why?" Guagua asked, more puzzled by Nangong Xiao’s somewhat nervous demeanor.

"I just don’t want the hassle." Nangong Xiao pursed her lips before adding, as if to justify herself, "Actually, Yimo and I aren’t that close, we don’t have much interaction."

"Oh?" Guagua raised an eyebrow, curiously asking, "Why is that, considering how well-connected the Nangong and Di families have always been!"

That was indeed true.

"Uh." Nangong Xiao scratched her head, thought for a moment, and said, "Well, because a lot of unpleasant things happened when we were kids, so we haven’t been very close."

"Oh, I see." Guagua blinked and then pursed his lips, "That’s a bit of a shame."

"What’s there to be ashamed of." Nangong Xiao pouted as well.

"If you two were close, you could collaborate on many big projects together." Guagua said excitedly, "I heard working on big projects with Yimo is quite something."

Nangong Xiao furrowed her brows, "Yimo is going to act?"

"Not an acting project." Guagua said, "A photography project."

"Oh." Nangong Xiao nodded.

Di Yimo indeed is a darling in the photography world, probably due to his immaculate features, perfect body proportions, and his captivating aura, projects he participates in often have a kind of awe-inspiring feel to them.
