Suddenly, the door of the restaurant was once again pulled open by the waiter. The manager’s face immediately smiled like a flower, as if he had seen gold, and greeted the people on the side in a low voice, “Quickly, a few big stars are coming over, let Foreman Wang personally entertain them!”
Big star?
Zi Ge was curious and was about to look, but the child was already yelling in delight, “Daddy, it’s Auntie Xi.”
Sue Hei?
“And Uncle Cor!” The child added.
Ko Hang-jun?
Lan Yu Feng and Zi Ge both turned around and looked towards the people behind them with different expressions. As expected, a group of laughing stars walked in, and Zi Ge recognized that they were all from the cast of the new film. Looks like it’s a party for the cast!
Among the group of people, Ke Hengjun and Su Xi’s temperament was definitely the brightest. The two crossed paths, and the radiant starbursts were no less than anyone else’s.
Two people, crossing the crowd, also looked towards them. Both of them were stunned, but different eyes coincidentally flashed with sadness.
Ke Hengjun stared tightly at Zi Ge, they were obviously so close … so close that every expression, they could see clearly, but …
And like being far away. So far that, he couldn’t get close enough to her …
“Three of you, follow me.” The manager saw them pause in their steps and spoke again respectfully.
Lan Yu Feng was the first to return to his senses, his deep eyes glancing at Zi Ge with a different meaning. Seeing that her eyes were still focused on Ke Hengjun, her eyes sunk slightly, “Going to say hello to him?”
“Huh?” Only then did Zi Ge come back to her senses and said busily, “No need. With so many eyes watching, me going to say hello will only cause him trouble.”
The dinner of the two big adults and one small adult was still very harmonious. Only Little Douzi was puzzled and asked the two adults, “Mommy and Daddy, why don’t you greet Auntie Xi and Uncle Hua?”
The two of them looked at each other, and Zi Ge clamped the food to the child, explaining, “They’re big stars, you can’t just greet them.”
“Oh, then next time I meet Uncle Xiao Ke should I say hello?” Little Bean cocked his head and asked seriously.
Ziggy nodded, “Of course.”
Just after answering, before Little Douzi could say anything else, Lan Yu Feng’s cell phone suddenly rang. It was a message. He looked at it without any ripples under his eyes.
“You guys eat first, I’m going out for a bit.” Setting down his cutlery, he looked up and spoke to the two.
“Good.” Ziggy nodded without much thought. The child looked at him, “Is daddy busy with something?”
“Uh-huh. Be back soon.” The last words were said looking at Ziggy.
Following that, he got up, pulled open the door to the compartment and walked out.
Lan Yu Feng walked out and on the quiet long corridor, he saw Su Xi leaning against the wall. She elegantly flicked a cigarette in her hand and lit it, a thick haze shrouding that delicate face, her melancholy aura intensifying.
In the movie industry, she has always been rated as a versatile actress. From the pure jade girl, to the vicissitudes of the woman she has taken very well, and, no matter what look is deeply popular, will not make people feel disgusted.
Such a woman is a dream that countless men pursue. It’s just a shame …
Her presence never shook his heart.
“Put out the cigarette.” Lan Yu Feng walked over with his cane propped up, his tone still light, no emotions could be seen.
“You don’t like the way I smoke?” Su Xi stood up straight and looked at her, “If you don’t like it, I’ll pinch it.”
“Your brother doesn’t like it.”
Su Xi was stunned and smiled bitterly.
So, he wasn’t caring about her at all, and didn’t care what kind of disheveled she was, and the only reason he showed concern was because of Su Chen?
In her eyes, bits of broken crystal flooded out. In the end, she still put the cigarette aside and extinguished it.
“You guys, together?” She asked softly, biting her lip.
“Me and Zige?” Lan Yu Feng bent his head to look at her, “Sort of.”
“You like her?” Su Xi’s hand, which was hanging down at her side, squeezed tighter. Knowing full well what kind of answer it was, yet, she had to ask.
It’s not until you’ve asked questions and it’s completely hurt that you’ll die.
However, Lan Yu Feng didn’t answer her and only spoke calmly and flatly, “This is between us.”
She froze, her form shuddering.
“So I … am not even qualified to ask.”
“Su Xi, you are Su Chen’s sister and my sister. But …” he paused for a moment, lifting his eyes to look at her. The hurt in her expression is something I can see, but, he doesn’t have a trace of shaking, instead, pursing his lips, he says even more ruthless words, “It will also only be a sister.”
Su Xi’s face was white, even her lips were pale. The answer that she had come to herself, yet, with such an answer, she still couldn’t bear it.
In her chest, a sharp pain surfaced, and she gasped for air, her hands cupping her chest sharply.
“Su Xi!” Lan Yu Feng wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at her, standing still.
A layer of cold sweat quickly surfaced on her pale cheeks. Lan Yu Feng took a step up and held the staggering her in place, “Calm down! I’ll take you to the hospital!”
His large palm, sturdy and powerful. The warm temperature made Su Xi’s heart tremble. The tip of her nose was sore, her cold hand pushed him, stubbornly spoke, “Don’t mind me …”
“Su Xi, don’t be capricious!” He half-wrapped his arm around her and headed out. Apparently, she was having another heart attack!
Her chest was cramping so badly that Su Xi couldn’t push back for long, and in the end, obediently followed him out of the restaurant.
When Ke Hengjun came out, he saw them clinging to each other intimately. His brows furrowed, and wisps of ethereal light floated out of his habitually radiant eyes. This was the man she had her eye on? Leading her out to dinner on one foot, and leaving with another woman in his arms on the back foot?
Ke Hengjun raised his steps to go after him. He really should teach him a lesson!
But as soon as he stepped out, there was a “click” from the side.
“Shot!”
“What are you doing?” Ke Hengjun blackened his face and looked at Minnie.
“What did you say I was doing.” Minnie took the photo and scrutinized it, then flipped out a string of numbers and pressed the send button on it without even thinking about it. As soon as Ke Hengjun saw this, he reached out to grab the phone. But Xiao Min had already deftly dodged it.
“Don’t grab it, it’s already been sent!” She raised her cell phone.
Ke Hengjun was so angry that he pointed his finger at her, ”You’re capable of being patient! A small assistant, you dare to send this kind of photo to the media to sell for money? Zhao Xiaomin, you’re tired of staying by my side, aren’t you?!”
Xiao Min couldn’t stand it and rolled her eyes, ”You say, do I look like the kind of person who would sell the photos for money? Although, sending out this photo will definitely help with the publicity of your new movie. But …”
“Who did you send it to?” Ke Hengjun suddenly had a bad feeling and directly interrupted her long-winded words. Both eyes swept over towards her, and the sharp look scared Xiao Min into a shiver.
“You … don’t scare me.”
Ke Hengjun didn’t bother to shilly-shally with her, twisting her arm with one hand and snatching the cell phone with the other.
“Hey!” Mandy jumped up to grab it back.
“Shut up!” He yelled at her and flipped directly to the message section. As soon as he saw the recipient, his face immediately sank like an incoming rainstorm, and he turned his head to stare at Xiao Min dead in the face, staring Xiao Min’s scalp numb. She mouthed her words and explained, ”Am I not moved by your infatuation? Just now looking at Zi Ge and him together, that look …”
Xiao Min paused and stole a glance at Ke Heng Jun’s face before carefully saying, “Xiao Zi is obviously just interested in him. Now I’m just exposing his affair with Su Xi, and I’m not doing anything excessive. If Xiao Zi dies, won’t you have a chance to take advantage of the situation?”
Xiao Min was all sincerity. Heaven be praised, she was doing this all for the sake of her little flower! Or risking being fired and cursed by her agent! It was a huge sacrifice!
“Good for you for taking advantage of the situation!” Ke Hengjun was so angry that he threw the cell phone back and pinched Mandy hard on her face again, hearing her beg for mercy in pain before letting go. Coldly glaring at her, he instructed, “Delete the photos! And help me ask which private room she’s in right now.”
“Got it.” Minnie rubbed her small, pinched red face, a look of displeasure on her face, “See, aren’t I just creating opportunities for you now?”
“Talkative!”
Minnie didn’t dare to mess with him and hurried away.
Ko Hengjun frowned and rubbed his forehead, his face all worried.
Zi Ge’s emotions have always been very sensitive, how sad should she be when she sees this kind of photo? Although I very much hoped that she would see the truth clearly and not let her feelings be played with, yet, I didn’t want her to be hurt in any small way.
As she was talking to the child without a word, Zige’s cell phone, which was resting on the desktop, rang at first. She touched it and looked at it, realizing that it was Minnie’s number. Without much thought, she tapped on that new message in front of her child.
But …
When that photo leapt into her eyes, her hand holding the cell phone suddenly tightened. Under her eyes, a flash of pain crossed.
They couldn’t be more intimate. His arm, was wrapped around Su Xi’s waist. Her head, resting lightly on his shoulder, like every couple.
Looking from behind, the whole picture is full of warmth. I have to say, they really go well together … Even if it’s just a back view, they’re still a perfect pair …
“Is this Daddy and Auntie Xi?” Even the child could easily recognize the backs.
Ziggy put the phone away silently, barely raising a smile, “I don’t know, maybe not.”
In front of her children, she didn’t know how to explain such an image.
“It’s clearly them!” Little Douzi looked exasperated, “Mommy, is Daddy in love with Auntie Xi?”
Are kids these days so mature?
Ziggy tried very, very hard to raise a smile, “It’s grown-up stuff, little beans don’t understand.”
Obviously smiling, but … breath tightened more and more tightly, chest stuffy almost suffocated …
“Mommy’s not happy.” Little Bean looked at her.
“No.”
“Little Douzi isn’t happy either.” Little Bean’s little eyebrows tugged, “Daddy left me and Mommy behind, Daddy prefers Auntie Xi, doesn’t he?”
Ziggy felt like she couldn’t hold on to her laugh, not anymore.
But …
Who was she to care? She herself was not his wife, not even a girlfriend. In his words, they were nothing more than bedmates! Why should she be unhappy?
“Is Little Bean full? If you’re full, Mommy will take you home.” She took her napkin and gently wiped her lips, she wouldn’t know how pale they were at the moment, and bent her head to wipe the child’s hands again.
Little Bean didn’t say anything either, his round eyes staring at her. And then he spread his little palms toward her, “Mommy, give me the phone, I want to call Daddy!”
He looked like he was huffing and puffing to get a word in edgewise with his daddy.
Daddy made Mommy unhappy, and he’s sad too! He doesn’t want Daddy and Auntie Hei to fall in love, it’s only right for Daddy and Mommy to be together!
Zige naturally wouldn’t give the child a cell phone, “No need to call, daddy might be in trouble right now, we’ll just go back and wait for daddy.”
She intended to pick up the child and head out. The door of the compartment, however, was suddenly pushed open by others.
Heart pounding, she looked up. The child had called out, “Daddy …”
