Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 438: A Toast to Blown Kisses
After changing into a white dress, the brand’s staff guided them to the first location to wait for photos.
Once the brand’s representative finished speaking, she took the stage from the side.
The weather wasn’t too hot yet, but after removing the woman’s blazer from her shoulders, it felt a bit cold standing on the stage opposite the entrance.
The champagne served was still chilled. She took a small sip and accepted the microphone from the representative to give her spokesperson speech.
After finishing her speech, the staff and security cleared the way as she had to head to another location.
This was the largest mall in Hai City, and they were on the first floor. The commotion caused by the security drew attention, and shoppers on either side of the mall were watching the excitement, snapping pictures with their phones.
Coincidentally, a huge poster of her was hanging in the air, visible to customers on a dozen floors above. Those people, hearing the noise below, also leaned over the railings to look down.
When Yu Xia looked up, she saw a sea of heads.
She maintained her composure, nodding and smiling, keeping up her image while walking through the first floor of the mall.
The place was so large that it felt like shopping in sky-high heels, making her legs sore.
Just as she was about to bypass a counter that blocked her view, the screams and commotion from the opposite direction suddenly intensified, with people running over from one side and others running over this way.
He Ci worried she might get knocked over. With the height of those heels, a fall would be no joke, so he extended his arm to protect her. With the security, staff, and himself, the chaotic runners couldn’t reach her.
Yu Xia was a bit curious. With this kind of setup, another celebrity must also be here for an event, and she wondered who it might be.
Following the guidance of the staff, she walked over and saw a luxury store with a broad frontage with a ribbon across its entrance. In front of the floral wall inside, celebrating the opening of the "w family’s first physical store in Hai City," several people holding wine glasses were taking a group photo.
Xie Qingci was in the center and seemed to sense something, looking up in her direction.
Yu Xia raised an eyebrow.
No wonder the crowd was so excited; what a coincidence.
Perhaps noticing their eye contact, the customers in the mall erupted into cheers.
But it wasn’t possible to stop and chat in such a situation. The brand’s people were still leading the way forward, and she continued, retracting her gaze as she walked past them.
Though her gaze remained steady, Xie Qingci’s eyes followed her, watching her move to the edge, where she got on the elevator accompanied by He Ci and the brand’s staff.
The elevator was glass on all sides, allowing a clear view of its occupants.
Once inside, Yu Xia turned around, glancing at Xie Qingci as the elevator ascended.
He lifted his wine glass in her direction.
Yu Xia thought for a moment, then touched her lips with her fingers and blew him a kiss with a smile.
Xie Qingci lowered his head, smiling.
The entire mall was in an uproar, with people going wild calling their names, while some simply screamed "aaaaa".
The elevator reached the intended floor, and Yu Xia was escorted away.
Once away from the crowd, the brand’s representative joked, "Fate, huh? The domestic ambassador for w family accidentally turned out to be him. You two seem to have a good relationship."
Yu Xia didn’t hide it and politely said, "We’re in the honeymoon phase, so things are pretty good."
"This time you’re planning for it to last longer?"
It seems the brand’s representative is quite a fan of surfing the internet and probably has been following her love life online recently.
She continued to smile, "Yes."
Not saying ten or eight years, but certainly two or three years at the minimum. If Xie Qingci keeps being so charming, maybe they could end up tying the knot.
They chatted and laughed as they headed to the next location.
When the day’s work finally ended, she changed clothes and got into the nanny van, finally able to take a breather.
Mei, while tapping away on her phone, cleverly informed her, "Xie Qingci finished earlier than you, but it seems he flew off to another event straight away."
"Yes, he sent me a message."
Mei nodded, excitedly passing her phone to Yu Xia for a look.
"Look, sister, the fan-made photo of you two looks so awesome, it could directly be used as a movie promo poster."
Yu Xia straightened up to take a closer look.
"It does look great."
The dark-toned image, with irrelevant individuals blurred out, focused sharply on her and Xie Qingci, with her in the elevator giving a flying kiss, and him below holding champagne and smiling thoughtfully.
Full of subtleties and undercurrents, it could easily be the plot of a movie drama.
"Right, isn’t it fantastic? Having so many fans has its perks. With millions of fans, the talented creators are definitely more than other celebrities with just a few hundred thousand fans. We don’t even need to do promotions; if they share this picture more, it’ll bring in a lot of attention."
He Ci got into the car, giving her a playful pat on the head, "Why don’t you learn from the fans to hone your skills? If our studio’s pictures look worse than the fans’, they’ll criticize us to death."
Mei waved her hand, "I’m learning, I’m learning. Sis, aren’t you going on that love Variety Show soon? I’m all set for it."
She couldn’t help but chuckle, excitement written all over her face.
"Why are you so happy about her going on a love Variety Show?" He Ci gave her a sideways glance.
"You wouldn’t understand, He. Seeing the couple posting sweet moments on a show would make us ’CP fans’ so excited we could spin and leap with joy."
He Ci said, "You can spin and leap on the street right now if you want. Also, don’t be too happy too soon; what if the way they interact daily is different from your fantasy? You might be disappointed."
Until now, Yu Xia hadn’t joined in on the conversation, but at this point she suddenly agreed.
"Indeed."
He Ci and Mei were taken aback, turning to look at her simultaneously.
"What do you mean?"
Yu Xia sighed and recounted a mutual understanding game from a few days back, concluding, "What we focus on and what CP fans focus on might be really different. What seems sweet to us might seem fake to them."
That is indeed a major issue. He Ci frowned, pondering for a while before saying seriously, "Then quickly, do some cramming."
No sooner said than done, he had everyone in the studio come up with a ’Couple Compatibility Challenge’ quiz, dividing it into two parts for Yu Xia and Xie Qingci. After finishing, he even called Xie Qingci’s manager to ensure that Xie Qingci diligently read and memorized everything.
The quiz included, but was not limited to—
"How long does the other person stay silent when angry?"
"Whose waist is smaller?"
"If you’re the last man on Earth during the apocalypse, and encounter a beautiful injured woman, what should you do?"
And "If you can’t team up together, which kind of opposite sex would you want the other to get along with", and other bizarre questions.
Some questions Yu Xia and Xie Qingci couldn’t answer even after discussing together.
They were really stuck, so they sought He Ci’s assistance as an outside observer to provide answers audiences would like, transforming many of her normal responses into more official and diplomatic ones.
After a few more times, Yu Xia had enough, decided to stick with her own answers no matter what.
For instance, to the question "Whose waist is smaller", the answer had to be Xie Qingci!
