“Why?” Xu Xiyan asked, unsure.
Xiao Yuqian scratched her head and explained. “There are reporters at the front entrance.”
There are still reporters out this late at night?
Besides, she was not a big star. Why would any reporters want to wait out for her?
Xu Xiyan was skeptical, but still took Xiao Yuqian’s advice. When she was about to head out, Wandou “happened” to bring Xu Xiyan’s fully charged mobile phone to her. “Miss Jing Xi, your mobile phone is ringing.”
Xu Xiyan took her phone from her and saw it was “Mr. Billion.” She was glad that she had given Huo Yunshen a nickname. If anyone had seen it, they wouldn’t know who was calling. Hehe.
“Wandou, please wait a moment. I need to take this call.”
“Okay.”
Before answering the call, Xu Xiyan cleared her throat and made her voice sound as normal as possible. “Hello? Mr. Huo?”
“Jing Xi, where are you now?” A magnetic voice came from the other end, like a warm breeze brushing against the tip of her heart.
“I’m at the company.”
“Are you still busy?”
“No, I’m not. I’m getting ready to go home now.”
“Come meet me. I’m at the back door of Jingyue.” Huo Yunshen reported his location to her.
“Okay, okay, I’ll be there soon.”
Since Huo Yunshen had specially come to pick her up and send her home, she didn’t need Wandou to escort her anymore.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Xiyan told Wandou cheerfully, “Wandou, you don’t have to accompany me anymore. I have a friend who will pick me up. You should get off work early too, okay?”
Of course, Wandou already knew who would be picking Xu Xiyan up later. She smiled and acknowledged her, “Okay, Miss Jing Xi. Have a safe journey.”
“Okay,” Xu Xiyan nodded. She turned and walked a few steps, then suddenly thought of something and quickly turned back, leaned forward on the front desk and asked Wandou, “Wandou, do you have makeup in your bag?”
“Yes.”
“Can I borrow some?”
Xu Xiyan thought after spending a night at the police station and then sleeping for the whole day in the company, she must look messy and tired.
She thought she should make up her face and make herself look a little more spirited. After all, she was going to meet up with prince charming.
“Sure, Miss Jing Xi. Help yourself.” Wandou gladly took out her cosmetic bag from the drawer and handed it to her.
“Thanks.”
Xu Xiyan took the cosmetic bag and ran to the restroom. She looked in the mirror, and surely enough… she looked horrible and unpresentable.
Xu Xiyan applied some light makeup for herself quickly and expertly, taking only ten minutes. Then she combed her hair neatly and straightened her clothes. She walked out of the restroom feeling like a different person, feeling refreshed and energized.
“I’m leaving now. See you, Wandou.”
After returning the cosmetic bag to Wandou, Xu Xiyan ran to the back door cheerfully like a young girl in love for the first time, her heart fluttering in her chest.
Outside the back door of the Jingyue Entertainment Building, Xu Xiyan immediately caught sight of Huo Yunshen’s RV. She rushed forward to the RV, opened the door and entered.
A man in a dark suit was sitting in a wheelchair. The soft hair in front of his forehead hung down his face, covering his devilishly charming eyes.
He was leaning his forehead on one hand. His sharp face was veiled in the shadows, the expression on his face unclear.
Xu Xiyan could feel a strong murderous aura emitting from his body, as well as a bone-cutting chill seeping out from him.
It was the first time Xu Xiyan had felt such a feeling being emitted from Huo Yunshen’s body. It felt strange. It wasn’t like him.
The Huo Yunshen she had always known was warm as a spring breeze and calm like the moon. Right now, he was shrouded in a murderous aura. She had never seen him like this before and was momentarily taken aback. She wondered whether she was hallucinating.
