“Not just a lot, a ridiculous amount!” The little assistant gestured a small mountain with his hands. “I gathered that all of the gifts from the last two years were probably enough to fill over half of a 20 square meter storage.”

“… …”

The gloominess in Luo Xiu’s eyes deepened.

The little assistant only noticed that their boss was not in the best of mood when he had finished talking.

He studied him for a few seconds and asked carefully. “Brother Luo, what’s the matter? Why did you ask about these all of a sudden?”

Luo Xiu recollected himself and returned to his normal look. “I will go through the other gifts when I get back. As for the scarf… have them look for it.”

“--- ---?!”

“--- ---”

There was silence in the room.

In those few seconds, even the sound of the air condition seemed to have been thrown into the vacuum.

The little assistant felt a drop of cold sweat slipped down his neck. He gulped slowly. He wanted to cry but the tears wouldn’t come-- --

Had he lost his mind? Did he think he could live off of curiosity?

He dared not trade his life for an answer again. His eyes darted around and finally he noticed the brown notebook under Luo Xiu’s fingers. His eyes lit up and he quickly changed the subject.

As though a near death person who had just been saved, the little assistant looked ecstatic though he dared not let any of that show. He tried to keep his emotions under control as he said in a tentative manner, “Well, Sister Ana seems to also had found out that the little screenwriter has a boyfriend as well…”

“And how did she find that out?”

“Uh, well, I, I guess she heard that along with the rumors in the production team… …” said the little assistant as he lowered his heart with a guilty conscience.

Luo Xiu looked outside of the window. His voice ever so nonchalant and languid. “So she didn’t hear it from you then.”

A hint of confusion rose in the man’s tender brown eyes.

After a short silence, he asked, “Just now? In the hallway?”

“No, no.” Gu Nian shook her head immediately and let out a sigh. “Well, it’s good that you didn’t hear it.”

“What did I miss?”

“No. It’s nothing.” Gu Nian denied it right away.

Luo Xiu did not continue to pry and Gu Nian changed the subject quickly. “Mr. Luo Xiu, have you heard any… strange rumors since your arrival at the production team today?”
