When Gu Xiao heard Chu An’s words, she went with the flow of Chu An’s strength and nestled in his arms. She moved and found a more comfortable position before stopping.

Her eyes were lowered and her expression was calm. From afar, she looked very docile.

However, the words that came out of her mouth were not gentle.

“On account of Mi Rui’s ability, being able to recruit her is beneficial to Star Brilliance. Naturally, 1 won’t reject her. However, at that time, the conditions given by Star Brilliance won’t be as good as now.”

The conditions that Star Brilliance had given Mi Rui were not bad. Among the many artists in Star Brilliance, she could be ranked B-rank. Other than Yang Jia and the others who had signed a B-rank contract at the beginning, other artists had yet to reach this height.

She had only asked Tian Xian to give her a B-rank contract on account of Mi Rui’s courage.

Otherwise, based on Mi Rui’s current situation, it would already be Mi Rui’s gain to be able to get a C-rank contract.

Since Mi Rui and her manager didn’t like this B-grade contract, even if Mi Rui considered Star Brilliance in the future, she wouldn’t give her this contract again.

However, in the entertainment industry, the higher the level of the contract, the more resources and connections the company could guarantee.

The difference between a B-class and a C-class contract seemed to be only one level, but in terms of the distribution of benefits and resources, the difference was not just a little bit.

If Mi Rui wanted to think some more, she could not blame Star Brilliance for not giving her a chance.

Chu An clearly understood what Gu Xiao meant. He rubbed his chin on Gu Xiao’s head and messed up her hair before settling down.

“That’s not a bad idea either.”

Mi Rui was capable. It would be a loss to Star Brilliance if she was really rejected. However, if they really gave Mi Rui such good resources, the others in the company would probably have objections.

Currently, there were only Lu Mo and Jiang Xi having S-rank contracts in Star Brilliance. No one having an A-rank contract had reached that status.

If it was the previous Mi Rui, based on her popularity, she might have been able to barely meet the requirements of an A-rank contract. But now… it was impossible.

“I’m actually looking forward to Mi Rui’s choice,” Chu An muttered softly.

Gu Xiao looked up with a smile in her eyes.

“Maybe we’ll hear something soon.”

The two of them stayed in the apartment for a long time. In the evening, the two of them still walked towards school together. The military training was about to begin, so it would be better for them to stay in the school.

Regarding this, Chu An kept nagging in Gu Xiao’s ear, hoping that the military training would end soon. They wouldn’t have to stay in the school dormitory every day and would then be able to find time to rest outside the school.

After all, their application to stay outside had already been approved by the instructor.

However, the reason why Gu Xiao and Chu An’s request to stay outside was approved was not because of the status as the second young master of the Chu family, but because of Gu Xiao’s status as the CEO of Star Brilliance.

The teacher was naturally very clear about Gu Xiao’s identity. He also knew that sometimes, there were too many things happening in the company. In addition, it was better for students taking their major to have practical experience, so he could turn a blind eye and let Gu Xiao and Chu An stay outside of school.

On the day the instructor approved the application, Chu An abducted Gu Xiao to their apartment outside the school. Chu An slept with Gu Xiao in his arms for the whole night, as if he wanted to compensate for the previous times when he couldn’t get close to Gu Xiao.

Even if he couldn’t really touch Gu Xiao, what he could do, Chu An didn’t leave out at all.

However, it was unknown if Chu An had gone too far that night, but no matter what he said after that, Gu Xiao didn’t agree to sleep outside with Chu An again.

No matter how late they stayed outside, she had to return to the dormitory before bedtime, just like today.

After Chu An sent Gu Xiao to the female dormitory, he reluctantly let go of Gu Xiao and watched her leave.

When Gu Xiao passed by the dormitory manager’s room, the dormitory manager auntie stuck her head out and glanced at Chu An, who was still standing outside. Then, she said to Gu Xiao, “This boyfriend of yours is really not bad. I saw that every time you came back, he would send you to the door. With the way he clings to you, 1 can tell at a glance that he really likes you.”

The dormitory manager’s eyes were filled with kind teasing. Gu Xiao also expressed that she was good at accepting such harmless teasing.

She followed the auntie’s gaze and looked at Chu An. When Chu An met Gu Xiao’s gaze, the light in his eyes brightened a little. He even reached out and waved his hand slightly at Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao smiled at Chu An before turning around.

“He is indeed very good to me.” There was a hint of sweetness and happiness in Gu Xiao’s words that she did not realize..
