“Hmph, I will live wherever I want, what does it have to do with you?”
The girl snorted heavily, lifted her foot and walked towards the hotel in the scenic area.
But whether it was because of the excessive movement, she suddenly stepped on thin air, with a sound of ‘puff’, she fell on the road.
“Ah!”
A cry of pain burst from the girl’s mouth. The mouth covered by a mask was gasping for cold air, obviously having twisted her ankle.
Xiao Shun pretended not to see this scene, walked past the girl on his own, with an indifferent expression on his face.
Just as he took a couple of steps forward, a cry suddenly came from behind.
“Stop right there!”
Slightly frowning, Xiao Shun eventually stopped his pace, without turning back he asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Damn it, didn’t you see that I twisted my foot? Do you really not care at all about what happened last night?”
Rapid and accusing questions came from behind Xiao Shun, gradually with a hint of sobbing in the voice.
Shrugging, Xiao Shun helplessly said, “Didn’t you just tell me not to meddle?… I don’t care now, and you’re not happy about it now!”
“Buzz!”
Suddenly, a swooshing sound came from behind, a snowball hit him hard on the back. He could easily avoid such a sneak attack at any time!
But this time, Xiao Shun did not choose to evade, perhaps feeling guilty in his heart!
At this moment, the woman bit her silver teeth, scolding Xiao Shun without looking back.
“You bastard, jerk! Get lost, it’s none of your business even if Cao Wanqing dies here!”
As she cursed, tears streamed down from Cao Wanqing’s eyes.
“Sigh.”
Heaving a sigh, Xiao Shun finally turned around, slowly walking towards the tearful Cao Wanqing.
“Let me see.” He squatted down next to her, reaching towards her ankle.
“Don’t touch me!”
Seeing this, Cao Wanqing also showed her temper, pushing away Xiao Shun’s hand, struggling to lift herself from the sitting position on the ground.
Maybe because of the wound, her delicate body was trembling slightly.
Despite this, she gritted her teeth, not even making a sound, panting heavily, limping towards the hotel not far away with her suitcase.
A stubborn woman indeed!
Thinking to himself, Xiao Shun hurried to snatch the suitcase from Cao Wanqing’s hand, but did not reach out to support her.
“Give me back my stuff, stop pretending!” Cao Wanqing was still angry, with tears in her eyes, trying to take back her suitcase, not willing to accept Xiao Shun’s help.
Seeing this, Xiao Shun quickly grabbed the single-footed but still fierce-looking facing Cao Wanqing, saying indifferently, “Let’s go back.”
“I’m not going back!”
“There are many people here, and if you stay here, your identity will inevitably be exposed, not to mention…”
Xiao Shun’s words were cut off by a sudden ringing of Cao Wanqing’s phone.
He paused, signaling her to answer the phone first.
Cao Wanqing gave him a fierce stare, still somewhat annoyed, but because of Xiao Shun’s caring behavior just now, she softened a bit.
After a while, she picked up the phone from her pocket, answered the call from an unknown number.
Moments later, Cao Wanqing hung up the phone with a pale face!
“What’s wrong?”
Looking at Cao Wanqing’s strange expression, Xiao Shun was puzzled.
With a pale face, Cao Wanqing said blankly, “The matter has been discovered!”
“What matter?” Xiao Shun was completely confused.
“It’s all because of you!” Cao Wanqing pounded Xiao Shun’s chest heavily, getting angrier as she hit him, “Do you know how important rumors are to a popular star like me?”
How would I know?
Helpless, Xiao Shun thought, but had a feeling in his heart, and quickly asked, “Was last night’s incident discovered?”
Cao Wanqing glared at him.
“The entertainment editor of Eastbrook Daily just called me, asking me to go there tonight for a deal!”
“Want to make a deal?”
Xiao Shun frowned slightly.
Cao Wanqing said irritably, “If it could be solved with money, it would be great, but the other party’s intentions are obviously not that simple, otherwise they would have given me an offer over the phone.”
Indeed, if the entertainment editor really wanted money, he would have clearly stated it on the phone, as that’s the common way to deal with celebrity rumors.
But this person did not mention money at all, just asked Cao Wanqing to visit Emperor Hotel tonight, nothing more!
Realizing the mystery, Xiao Shun glanced casually at Cao Wanqing.
“Go back first, I’ll accompany you tonight.”
By now, Cao Wanqing’s anger towards Xiao Shun had subsided.
Since the other party had already lowered his attitude, she didn’t want to pursue further, so she nodded.
Soon, Xiao Shun took the suitcase with one hand and supported Cao Wanqing with the other, walking towards the outer area of the tourist area.
After a short walk, Cao Wanqing’s face was covered in sweat, probably from the pain.
Seeing this, Xiao Shun shook his head, took the lead and walked in front of her, leaning down slightly.
“Come up, I’ll carry you!”
Looking at the broad back in front of her, Cao Wanqing’s eyes were filled with emotion, and two flushes rose under the mask on her cheeks.
However, all signs of her coquettishness were hidden behind the mask, making it impossible for others to enjoy.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally gritted her teeth, leaned on Xiao Shun’s back.
With the graceful figure of Cao Wanqing on his back, Xiao Shun walked steadily, stopping a taxi and heading straight to Lijing Hotel.
During the journey, there was an ambiguous atmosphere in the car.
Perhaps because of the ambiguous encounter just now, the blush on Cao Wanqing’s face never faded.
As for Xiao Shun, he still had a casual expression on his face, seeming not to feel any awkwardness.
…
Back in the suite, Huguigui sat on the sofa with a look of worry on his face. Seeing Xiao Shun coming back, he hurriedly said, “Mr. Xiao, just now Miss Cao…”
Before he could finish explaining, he saw Cao Wanqing, fully armed with her suitcase, stepping out from behind Xiao Shun.
Instantly, the look of worry on Huguigui’s face disappeared, replaced by a warm and enthusiastic expression, “Miss Cao, you’re back!”
He vividly remembered the resolute expression on Cao Wanqing’s face when she packed her things and left the hotel just now.
But with Mr. Xiao’s intervention, the effect was indeed different, he actually managed to bring back his idol!
With this thought in mind, Huguigui looked at Xiao Shun with a playful look.
Xiao Shun paid no attention to the ambiguous gaze of the other party, simply dragged the suitcase into the living room.
After observing for a moment, he asked Huguigui, “Where is Mr. Ning?”
