She took a taxi to Central. Cosmetics in Hong Kong were cheaper, so she decided to go on a shopping spree.
After visiting several beauty stores, she bought a watch for her father, a beautiful necklace for her mother, necklace for Teacher Geng, and a very cute little doll for her best friend Qingqi.
Just as she was checking out, her phone in her pocket rang.
She opened WeChat, Huang Kankan had sent a message:
“Yiyi, emergency rescue. Go buy a nice outfit, dress up well, wear a mask, and also bring a wig.”
“Why?” Shen Yiyi thought back.
When she left, Lin Zexi was still acting as usual, and nothing seemed strange with Huang Kankan either.
“Don’t ask. Just do it quickly. I’ve transferred you the money. Once you’re ready, we’ll come pick you up. And when you get in the car, don’t ask anything, don’t speak.”
After sending that, he stopped replying.
Shen Yiyi let out a helpless sigh and accepted her fate.
She went to buy an outfit, shoes, and even a wig in a different hair color from her own.
After getting everything ready, she went to a shopping mall restroom to change and fix her appearance.
Once done, she sent her location to Huang Kankan.
Fifteen minutes later, she got into Lin Zexi’s car.
Lin Zexi and Huang Kankan looked completely normal, which only made Shen Yiyi more confused.
She quietly sat down next to Lin Zexi.
The three of them got out of the car and entered the elevator.
Before Shen Yiyi could even ask anything, Huang Kankan spoke first.
“Yiyi, later you’ll need to act as Zexi’s girlfriend. Hold his arm and look a bit intimate.”
“Why?” Shen Yiyi was completely confused.
She had only gone out shopping, how did she come back and suddenly have to act?
“Yiyi, your wallet is pretty empty tonight, right?” Huang Kankan said, glancing at the large number of shopping bags in her hands.
“Want to make some money? This is very easy money. You just need to hold Zexi’s arm and walk for a bit, once you enter the place, the acting is over,” Huang Kankan said, fully showing off his skills as a top star’s assistant.
“Really?”
“Really.” Huang Kankan nodded firmly.
“My appearance fee is very expensive. This is my first-ever improvisational performance in life,” Shen Yiyi said, clearly trying to take advantage of the situation.
“Name your price,” Lin Zexi asked indifferently.
Shen Yiyi thought for three seconds, then raised her hand and made a “six” gesture.
“Deal,” Lin Zexi agreed without hesitation.
“Ding.” The elevator doors opened.
Shen Yiyi hooked her arm around Lin Zexi’s and the two of them walked out together.
“Closer,” Huang Kankan whispered from behind.
Shen Yiyi moved a little closer, leaning naturally into Lin Zexi’s side.
He was wearing sunglasses, so his expression couldn’t be seen clearly, but for a brief moment, the corner of his lips seemed to lift, a faint smile flashing by before disappearing.
They walked down a long corridor.
Lin Zexi swiped his room card, and in the next second, he suddenly pulled Shen Yiyi inside.
The door closed quickly.
From the outside, it looked like the kind of scene that would easily be misunderstood, like the two of them had rushed in urgently, leaving people’s imaginations running wild
MK Group’s female CEO, Jiang Yun, had soaked in a rose petal bath for half an hour in preparation for tonight.
To see him, she had even arranged this entire charity gala through her assistant.
During the dinner, Lin Zexi sat beside her. In a voice only the two of them could hear, she mentioned she wanted to discuss a brand collaboration.
As always, he was indifferent, cold, distant, almost untouchable.
But Jiang Yun liked exactly that about him.
The wealthy heirs who usually pursued her were all after her status, her power, and the family behind her.
Only Lin Zexi never showed interest in women.
He didn’t flatter anyone, didn’t try to please anyone, he simply treated everyone the same: cold and detached.
Jiang Yun stood in her walk-in closet wearing a bathrobe, her fingers sliding across a row of high-end couture gowns.
She intended to pick the most stunning, most seductive dress to see Lin Zexi.
“Miss, there’s a phone call for you,” the butler said, offering her the phone respectfully.
