Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 582 - 580: The Heavenly King’s Female Companion
Ye Yongning had been coming to Green Island Garden more frequently lately, and Zaizai got along quite well with him.
Upon hearing that Uncle Ye was there, Zaizai felt a bit more at ease, but still furrowed his little brows, "Who’s the male actor?"
"Xue Jingchuan."
As a child familiar with television, Zaizai certainly knew who Xue Jingchuan was, not only did he know, but also...
He was an undeniable "Chuanbei" fan!
Zaizai’s breath hitched, his soft, milky voice changed tone, "Xue Jingchuan? The superstar Xue Jingchuan who debuted from a singing competition and is a triple threat in singing, film, and TV?"
Jiayi’s eardrum vibrated from the volume of her son’s voice, "Yes..."
Why did it feel like Zaizai was more familiar with Xue Jingchuan than she was?
"Mommy, you’d better not go carelessly! Just remember to get me an autograph! No, no, no, several photos together! I want to take them to kindergarten!"
Jiayi was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses, laughing and crying at the same time, finally understanding that Zaizai was actually a fan of Xue Jingchuan, a "Chuanbei" fan!
But at least she had dodged a bullet and wouldn’t be stopped by Zaizai anymore.
Jiayi agreed and hung up the phone.
Just then, Xue Jingchuan’s car arrived downstairs.
Jiayi tidied herself up and went downstairs.
Xue Jingchuan, who didn’t like using a chauffeur, drove a champagne-colored convertible Bentley, and as he sat in the driver’s seat and saw Jiayi, a flicker of amazement flashed in his eyes.
On set, Jiayi usually wore loose T-shirts and jeans for convenience, hiding her figure, but now she dazzled, catching everyone’s eye.
Clearly, the studio’s stylists knew she was going to be the superstar’s companion tonight and had put a lot of effort into it.
A red strapless dress highlighted her shapely figure, a svelte waist one could easily wrap a hand around, a busty and bouncy chest, rounded and perky buttocks, and smoothly toned, fair legs under the dress. Her long hair was styled into large curls, full of romantic flair, casually curling and lingering by her collarbones.
Normally she didn’t wear makeup on set, and even if she did, it was just sunscreen primer with lip balm—a simple, light look. But tonight, she was made up brilliantly, shining like the brightest star in the night sky, her long, thick lashes akin to that of a porcelain doll, her cherry lips a vivid red, reminiscent of a blooming red rose.
Xue Jingchuan had to admit, if the girl he had met years ago was but a bud still asleep, then the woman before him now had fully blossomed.
All of a sudden, he completely understood why Huo Zhenyang, a business tycoon and the future mayor, would get so petty and possessive every time he faced this young woman, like a house dog guarding the food in its bowl.
She was indeed a woman worth competing for.
Seeing Xue Jingchuan looking at her, Jiayi approached and asked, "Is my makeup too heavy? Isn’t this dress too flashy?"
Xue Jingchuan smiled and shook his head, paused, then asked, "Have you really thought it through, about going with me?"
Jiayi, of course, knew what he meant and nodded without hesitation.
When she had learned that Xue Jingchuan needed a female companion for tonight’s film media event, she had volunteered to go with him.
Becoming his personal costume assistant meant declaring a full-on war with that man, and she didn’t mind taking further steps to dispel any thoughts he might have.
"It’s just that by doing this, I’m afraid it might lead to the media writing nonsense about you," Jiayi said, looking at Xue Jingchuan. Her intention was to make that man give up on her completely, but for Xue Jingchuan, it might mean being entangled in rumors.
Xue Jingchuan quirked his lips, "Did I ever tell you what an actor fears the most?"
Jiayi was puzzled.
"Not afraid of rumors, only afraid of no rumors. Having rumors, at least proves I’m still popular, worth being written about. I should thank you for increasing my popularity," Xue Jingchuan got out of the car and opened the door for her, "Get in."
The Bentley raced towards the Shengjing Grand Hotel, blending into the night.
*
At the entrance to Shengjing Grand Hotel, a red carpet had been laid out, forming a glittering path of stars.
The banquet hall on the top floor was already crowded with media from several coastal cities.
The Bentley came to a halt, and Xue Jingchuan, with Jiayi on his arm, followed a servant onto the sightseeing elevator and ascended to the top floor.
Meanwhile, in the banquet hall, Huo Zhenyang, having arrived earlier, was nonchalantly swirling a glass of red wine amidst the fawning media executives and local tycoons.
By his side, Su Yan was not one to miss such a rare opportunity. She had dressed to the nines in a dignified and elegant royal blue evening gown, which promptly outshone everyone upon her arrival. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
When she entered clinging to Huo Zhenyang’s arm, the envy and admiration in everyone’s eyes bolstered her confidence substantially.
Perhaps, her destiny with the Huo Family, her fate with young master Huo, had not come to an end after all.
The patriarch’s fall and stroke that kept him temporarily confined in China truly presented her with an opportunity.
Flashes of the old man falling at the resort crossed her mind and Su Yan’s expression subtly changed, a glint of eerie inconsistency with her current facade momentarily crossing her beautiful eyes before vanishing as she continued to smile.
At that moment, noticing Huo Zhenyang’s impatience, Su Yan immediately turned to the crowd and politely said, "Excuse me, please make yourselves at home."
Understanding that young master Huo desired quiet, the crowd dispersed like birds and beasts.
"Would you like me to sit with you over there?" Su Yan said tenderly, having shooed everyone away.
To onlookers, Miss Su by young master Huo’s side seemed like a blooming epiphyllum, gentle and considerate, always attuned to the desires of a man’s heart.
Huo Zhenyang furrowed his brows, "No need." He swirled his glass, sipped the wine, and repressed his discomfort.
He didn’t know why he was feeling restless.
Was it because he was about to see Xue Jingchuan enter the room with her?
Knowing his current state of unrest, Su Yan couldn’t help but speak, "Young master Huo, perhaps drink less, even though your illness has healed, but—"
"You are here today as my companion, not my butler," Huo Zhenyang said sharply.
Su Yan’s heart sank. She thought Huo Zhenyang’s anger towards her had subsided, and that he would at least stop being so cold towards her. But it seemed this wasn’t entirely the case tonight.
Young master Huo was somewhat absent-minded all evening, as if waiting for something—
Just then, a slight commotion arose from the entrance of the banquet hall.
More guests had arrived.
The servant pulled open the golden doors of the banquet hall, and the sharp gaze of the media instantly focused on the striking couple entering.
The man’s face was as exquisite as fine jade, and his figure was tall and graceful. The young woman on his arm was dressed in a fiery bright red, captivating and lovely, her lustrous black hair draped over her neck and lying upon her ample bust.
"Xue Jingchuan is here!"
Upon recognizing the arrival of the star, Xue Jingchuan, the reporters surged forward like a tide.
Huo Zhenyang’s eyes turned cold, but he gathered his spirits, with one hand in his pants pocket, and slowly made his way over.
Su Yan hurriedly followed him.
Huo Zhenyang stood behind the reporters and saw the young woman beside Xue Jingchuan. His expression became severely constrained.
