My CEO Husband Has Some Issues-Chapter 1024: Mistakenly Thought She Was Chu Xi

The entrance for celebrities walking the red carpet was different from that of other guests. Arriving fashionably late with her manager, Xia Xue drew the attention of the reporters and media in front of them.

Her manager, well-prepared for this moment, hurried over to the visibly upset security guards, gesticulating wildly and talking about who knows what. In the end, despite the guards’ unhappy expressions, they let them through after checking with their superiors.

But before letting them in, the guard firmly and ungraciously said, "Move quickly, don’t linger on the red carpet for too long!"

The manager was so angry her liver hurt, but things would probably be fine once inside. Not daring to cause a scene, she hurried back to give Xia Xue the good news.

"Xue, you can go in now."

"Mhm."

Xia Xue was like a mirror in her heart, convinced she would be allowed in only because she had played this game; otherwise, what was all the schmoozing with AQ’s top brass for? Especially since those at AQ thought she was Han Cheng’s woman—they had to give her face, if not for her, then for Han Cheng.

She took a deep breath, straightened up, sucked in her stomach, and lifted the corners of her mouth into a practiced smile as she began to make her way inside...

The media on both sides of the red carpet were initially taking a break, wiping down their cameras, reviewing previously taken photos, waiting for the big names to make an appearance.

Seeing someone step onto the carpet all of a sudden, some media didn’t recognize the newcomer in the entertainment industry, Xia Xue, and immediately got excited, raising their cameras, "Quick, quick, someone’s coming, start shooting~!"

Seeing their colleagues so excited, other media members also set up their gear, aiming at the red carpet.

"Click, click, click..." The shutter sound on the red carpet was continuous.

Xia Xue tasted for the first time since entering the entertainment industry the flavor of being sought after; it was too delightful. She couldn’t help but slightly lift her chin, pausing after every step she took. Even if the security guard wanted to urge her to stop dawdling on the red carpet and move along, she had the thick skin to pretend she didn’t see him.

She wasn’t about to leave; she had gone to great lengths to borrow a high-end couture gown and luxury jewelry for this very purpose—to make the most of this final chance to shine!

"Look over here!"

"This way, smile this way!"

"Here, look at us, strike a pose, please. Come on, the camera’s over here, that’s it, smile."

...

Xia Xue maintained the perfect smile she had practiced, allowing the on-site photographers to take their pictures, complying with nearly every request from the media.

Those who didn’t know better thought she must be some local celebrity garnering attention on the red carpet.

If they had realized she was just an 18th-tier actress who had only done web dramas, their jaws would drop.

Just as Xia Xue was basking in the limelight of the media and camera flashes, suddenly, a low-profile Pax car stopped at the entrance of the red carpet.

Two security guards jogged over to help open the car door.

Meanwhile, Hanks Dina made her entrance—her signature ear-length blonde hair, a casually worn Uniqlo basic shirt and relaxed trousers, and simple black leather slippers—made her instantly recognizable with her carefree yet distinctive style.

The only person who could wear Uniqlo on the red carpet, whether nationally or internationally, was the international renowned director, the she-devil of the film industry, Hanks Dina!

The media who were just taking photos of Xia Xue saw the new arrival at the entrance and abruptly tugged at their colleagues, "It’s Hanks, Hanks is here!"

"Dina, it’s Director Dina! Quick, quick, quick, forget about shooting that 18th-tier actress, get ready for the exposure shot!"
