A Favor Done, A Husband Won-Chapter 422 - 416: Is This Real-Life CEO’s Runaway Bride of the Entertainment Industry?

Chapter 422: Chapter 416: Is This Real-Life CEO’s Runaway Bride of the Entertainment Industry?

The car has arrived at the Yu Jing Group building.

Shi Su didn’t check her phone at all on the way, even though her phone and Miss Chen’s were both vibrating nonstop in their pockets.

Countless messages and missed calls.

After the car parked, Miss Chen and Chuju quickly got out and started returning calls, while the driver got out to smoke a cigarette to calm his nerves.

Shi Su walked straight into the Yu Jing Group building. Even though she wore a hat, she didn’t bother to keep a low profile. Given the current buzz on Weibo, and with these big companies having a younger workforce, everyone is quite informed about entertainment news, and everything spreads very fast. She found no need to act all secretive.

Of course, as she walked in, she indeed received her share of glances.

Before entering the office building, she had called Zhou He. He was busy earlier and asked her to wait downstairs for a couple of minutes.

In just those two minutes, the front desk and all the other workers on the first floor of the Yu Jing Group office building couldn’t help but focus on her.

When Zhou He arrived by elevator, he saw Shi Su waiting in front of it and quickly made room: "Miss Shi Su, please come in."

"Where is Jing Jihan? In his office?"

"Mr. Jing is in a meeting. He arrived at the company just a few minutes before the executive meeting started, and I also just got here. So, I didn’t go into the meeting with him today." Zhou He pressed the button for the 68th floor.

Just a while ago, it was Zhou He who dropped Shi Su off at the Wanxing Building, and now, here they were again.

Finally feeling more at ease, Shi Su remembered to thank him: "Thank you, sorry for the trouble."

"You’re welcome, serving Mr. Jing and... Mrs. Jing, it’s part of my job."

"..."

The title "Mrs. Jing" made Shi Su’s head heat up with embarrassment, feeling awkward even though it was just with Zhou He, making it more unbearable than facing thousands of fans at events.

"How come I haven’t seen Mr. Lu around lately?" Shi Su quickly changed the subject.

Zhou He smiled and replied, "Lu Zhao, he’s indeed not in the country these past few days. He’s in the United States handling some matters."

The United States?

Shi Su suddenly laughed, "Wasn’t he supposed to go to Africa?"

"Africa?" Zhou He, who hadn’t been to Hong Kong, didn’t catch the joke immediately and paused before saying, "He went to the United States."

Shi Su nodded, smiled, and didn’t ask further.

Arriving at the 68th floor’s executive office, Zhou He invited Shi Su to sit in the office.

Knowing that Shi Su wasn’t yet comfortable with the title "Mrs. Jing," Zhou He didn’t tease her any further: "Mr. Jing is in the conference room and will probably be in there for over an hour. Miss Shi Su, feel free to rest here. If you need anything, just call me. I’ll be in the office diagonally opposite, or you can use the internal phone on Mr. Jing’s desk."

"Alright, thank you."

Zhou He left the office and soon returned with a cup of coffee, then went back to his office.

The office was very quiet. Shi Su just looked around, realizing that Jing Jihan’s office hadn’t changed much in two years. She glanced in the direction of the lounge, recalled something, and quickly lowered her head to check her phone, avoiding certain overwhelming memories from resurfacing.

Having not checked her phone for so long, WeChat was already flooded with messages.

The top one was from yesterday at the filming set when Ami insisted on adding her on WeChat. When she opened the chat page, she saw that Ami had sent dozens of messages filled with question marks and exclamation marks.

Countless question marks and exclamation marks.

No need to guess how this eighteen-year-old was feeling today.

Probably a rollercoaster of emotions.

Just like Shi Su.

Up and down, a rollercoaster indeed.

And utterly confused.

So she came straight away without hesitation.

An ex suddenly turning into a husband—

Can be considered an ex, right?

After all, they skipped the reconciliation process, becoming Mrs. Jing overnight.

Shi Su didn’t reply to Ami, fearing she would respond and then get bombarded nonstop with messages, causing her phone to vibrate endlessly.

After replying to a few confirmed messages from friends in the same group, she suddenly saw a screenshot Wei Sinan sent from the "Su Wei Su Wei CP" topic.

Wei Sinan: [(screenshot)]

Wei Sinan: [The CP fans say we’re done and now they’re jumping ship to ship the ’Timely Rain CP.’ How realistic is that?]

Shi Su rarely checked trending topics and wasn’t used to such terms, so she replied: [Who is Timely Rain CP?]

Wei Sinan: [(smile) (smile) (smile) You and Jing Jihan.]

Timely Rain... Ji Shi...

Shi Su couldn’t help but giggle and replied: [Fans really have wild imaginations.]

Wei Sinan: [My heart is quite wounded now. So you really got married?]

Shi Su: [Hmm, at least the marriage certificate is real.]

Wei Sinan: [(shivering) (fist bump) Bye.]

Having waited for Jing Jihan for a long time without seeing him, Shi Su replied to a few more messages, then checked Weibo. The Yu Jing Group’s official statement had over 500,000 reposts and 400,000 comments, and the comments on Shi Su’s post had also exceeded 200,000.

She didn’t open the comments but searched for the related topic on Timely Rain CP. The moment she opened it, she saw several posts screaming:

[Help! What’s this about the Timely Rain CP being a novel where a rich CEO falls for me?! kswl! The novel becomes reality, right? Who’s the sister writing a fanfic? Quickly kick me in, I want in!]

[Is this the real-life domineering CEO with a fugitive starlet wife? It’s too good to ship! I’m totally invested! A legitimate couple! Joining in will not lose! Go go go!]

[Has anyone not seen Jing Jihan’s photo? This one side-profile photo at a conference table shot down countless male stars in the industry. No wonder Shi Su got hiddenly married to him early on. Who wouldn’t want such a god-tier CEO? I would have dared to have a child at eighteen! (If the law allowed it, dog-head protection.jpg)]

Hidden marriage?

Hidden for less than twenty-four hours—

Rarely did Shi Su spend this much time on Weibo until she heard the door of the executive office being opened, making her subconsciously lift her head.

The man who was the owner of the half-side-profile photo on Weibo, admired by many fans, was standing right in front of her—and it was his full face, in motion.

Having just entered the room, the man had taken off his suit jacket at some point, wearing only a white shirt, with the jacket casually draped over his arm. There seemed to be a familiar dark silver gleam flashing at his cuffs, but before Shi Su could see clearly, he had already placed the suit jacket aside.

Now nearly noon, the sunlight reflected through the floor-to-ceiling window fell perfectly on the man’s handsome face. With just a glance towards her, the glow surrounding him was so dazzling that it seemed as though one might willingly fall into an endless abyss. Their eyes met, and it was impossible to look away.
