She guessed that Shen Jingxiu might be driving at that time, so she made another call to him.
Who would have thought, just at that moment, his phone was switched off again.
Wenyan had no choice but to ask He Xing to go wait for him at the hotel reception.
–
At six fifty, Shen Jingxiu had actually already arrived at the hotel where Wenyan was staying.
However, because it wasn’t the agreed-upon time yet, he didn’t go up to see Wenyan directly but asked the hotel reception for a power bank instead.
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
The power bank was charging slowly, so Shen Jingxiu sat in the corner of the lobby on a sofa to charge it.
He planned to contact Wenyan first after his phone was powered on.
Because of his outstanding appearance, even the receptionists, accustomed to seeing celebrity heartthrobs, couldn’t help but steal several glances at him.
“That guy is so handsome, but he doesn’t seem like a celebrity; I’ve never seen him before.”
“Looking at the way he’s dressed, he’s not from the entertainment industry. The key is he isn’t wearing makeup. Look, male idols from the industry wouldn’t dare to show up in public without makeup, at the very least they’d wear a hat to cover up. But this guy is incredibly handsome even without makeup.”
“Yeah, if he entered the entertainment industry, he’d totally outshine many others.”
“I wonder who he is here to see. I didn’t have the nerve to ask just now. Do you think he could be here to see his girlfriend? I saw him holding a paper bag, it must be a gift.”
“The watch he’s wearing looks really expensive, probably a wealthy second generation.”
“He shouldn’t be a second gen though, he feels more mature than that. The second gen lacks this kind of, how should I put it, natural aura of professionalism. In short, in a word, handsome, really too handsome. If it weren’t for being on the job, I’d want to strike up a conversation.”
“Me too, just sitting on the sofa with his phone and a power bank without doing anything is enough to dazzle me.”
–
Wenyan only told He Xing to look for an extremely handsome guy at the reception and didn’t mention what his name was.
He Xing hurried over and was worrying when she happened to hear two receptionists discussing.
If they kept emphasizing how handsome he was, wasn’t that the super handsome guy mentioned by Wenyan?
He Xing glanced over to the sofa, then quickly walked towards it.
Initially, she thought Wenyan’s description of the super handsome guy might have been an exaggeration.
With so many handsome men in the entertainment industry, could a non-celebrity really be more handsome than the male stars?
But upon seeing him, He Xing involuntarily froze for two seconds.
He was indeed astonishingly handsome, a sight to behold.
Yet after sneaking a few more glances, she found his handsome face somewhat familiar, it felt a bit like someone she knew.
But she couldn’t quite remember who he reminded her of in the moment.
Moreover, now was not the time to be star-struck; she needed to attend to the task Wenyan had given her.
Walking up to Shen Jingxiu, He Xing was about to speak but couldn’t help blushing first.
For some reason, dealing with handsome guys in the industry didn’t affect her this way, but facing a handsome guy from outside the circle, she found herself at a loss for words.
“Uh… hello, I am Wenyan’s assistant. Are you here to see her?”
Upon seeing He Xing and ensuring Wenyan wasn’t nearby, Shen Jingxiu’s brow instantly furrowed.
“Yes, I’m here to see her. Can she not make it?”
“Yes!” For some reason, when Shen Jingxiu frowned, He Xing became inexplicably nervous.
She felt that the aura of the man before her was too commanding, his every little expression overwhelmingly powerful.
“Well, Yanyan actually sent you a message and also called you, but your phone was switched off, so she sent me over. She asked me to apologize to you because she had an important last-minute issue and couldn’t come. For the gift, she asked if you could kindly give it to me and I will pass it on to her.”
Right at that moment, Shen Jingxiu’s phone powered on as well.
He quickly opened WeChat and indeed, he saw the message Wenyan had sent a few minutes earlier.
Her reason was very substantial.
Although substantial, Shen Jingxiu still felt a bit disappointed.
But this emotion was fleeting, and he didn’t show it in front of someone else.
Standing up, he handed the paper bag next to him to He Xing, his tone to others consistently aloof.
“Then I’ll trouble you with that.”
“Sure! Goodbye.”
Shen Jingxiu nodded expressionlessly and walked over to the reception to return the power bank.
