After taking off my makeup, I left the venue with my assistant and my dad.
However, we were blocked by a group of media reporters at the exit. The flashing lights were like a sea.
The two security guards arranged by WM were simply useless. People kept blocking our way, and a reporter almost shoved the microphone into my dad's face.
Just as things were in a complete mess, I heard a female reporter shout, "Mr. Rong is coming!"
Like heavenly soldiers descending from the sky, more than a dozen tall men in black filed in and surrounded me protectively.
I felt a tightening around my waist, and I was pulled into the secure embrace of a tall man.
I looked up. Wow, my sugar daddy had come to rescue me.
A warm feeling welled up in my heart, and the tension in me eased. I pretended to be affectionate and nestled into Rong Bo's chest, allowing him to put his arm around my waist possessively.
I saw my dad being safely escorted out of the chaos by two bodyguards.
Seeing Rong Bo's extremely possessive actions at this moment, the reporters went even crazier. "Mr. Rong! Could you please clarify your relationship with Miss Song Wenxing? Thank you!"
Rong Bo raised his hand to shield me from the blinding flashlights and said coldly, "Get out of the way. Don't block my girlfriend's path."
Oh.
Mr. Bo, you're so charming.
There were a chorus of whistles around us. Led by Rong Bo, I managed to break through the encirclement again and again. Finally, I got into Rong Bo's car under the siege of the reporters, and we sped away.
I took off my hat. My face, free of makeup, was natural.
Rong Bo glanced at me casually. "You're very beautiful today."
I'd grown tired of hearing the word "beautiful" since I was a child. But somehow, when it came from Rong Bo's mouth, it seemed particularly precious. "Thank you for your strong support, my dear ally."
Rong Bo said, "In the future, my mother may strongly oppose our marriage. You know what to do."
I nodded. "Keep being arrogant and wild."
Rong Bo reached out his hand. "Happy cooperation."
I shook his hand firmly. "Long live the alliance."
Rong Bo dropped me off at my doorstep. Before I opened the door to get out, I thought of a question. "Did you arrange for Ke Ran to come?"
Rong Bo's deep, sea - like eyes stared at me in the dim car.
I was even more convinced of my guess. "Intercepting the arrow halfway was also part of the plan, right?"
It was to create the illusion of jealousy and prove that he was really in love with me.
Rong Bo countered, "You're always smart. Do you still need to confirm such a simple question?"
I murmured in complaint, "Ke Ran is my favorite. I'm still a bit regretful that the arrow didn't hit him. As an ally, you can't just think about yourself. You should at least consider other people's feelings..."
The big shot's eyes turned cold instantly.
I respectfully closed the car door for him.
Such an annoying guy.
All he cared about was looking cool and he ruined my good deed.
The only flaw in my dream - fulfilling journey tonight was you suddenly showing up and intercepting the Cupid's arrow I shot at Ke Ran!
After the fashion show, I became well - known.
Some endorsement offers even came my way, but I turned them down.
Once you become a spokesperson, you're just an employee.
I don't want to look at the client's face, earn that little bit of money, and get angry and grow a couple of wrinkles. It's not worth it.
After losing weight, I became more malleable.
The latest live - stream about "Thai star makeup" received a strong response.
[I'm crying because of Xingzai's mixed - race makeup and hairstyle today.]
[Ms. Song Wenxing, please stop being so charming.]
[My Xingzai is really a beauty in the world.]
[The battle at WM made her a sensation.]
[If I looked like this, I'd walk sideways.]
[Hahaha, if I were this beautiful, I wouldn't even close the door when taking a shower.]
[So will Xingzai follow the path of a sassy beauty in the future? I kind of miss her pure little - girl image before the fashion show.]
[On the contrary, I think her facial features have become more delicate after losing weight. Her sexiness has been upgraded, and her charming femininity is more sophisticated.]
[It turns out that there really are miracles when a girl loses weight. I'm begging Xingzai to share her secret of rapid weight loss.]
...
To benefit my fans, I started editing a million - level weight - loss video about how I lost ten pounds in a month. I was really busy when my assistant said, "Ms. Song, there's an honored guest looking for you."
Me: "Who is it?"
Assistant: "I think it's your... future mother - in - law?"
Me: !!!!
Quickly invite Mrs. Rong into the office and let her sit down.
Mrs. Rong was wearing a beige windbreaker today. Her exposed calves were long and straight, and the black high - heels made her look even more elegant.
I personally served her a cup of hot tea. "Auntie, why did you come to find me here?"
Mrs. Rong sized up my outfit today and couldn't help frowning. "Do you plan to transform into a sexy style in the future?"
I said a bit shyly, "I have this plan."
Mrs. Rong: "I advise you to give up this idea."
Me: "Ah?"
Mrs. Rong: "After all, you'll be a member of the Rong family in the future. In the celebrity circle, elegance and dignity are highly valued. You'll understand later that I'm doing this for your own good."
I quickly said, "I know, auntie. I've seen through this circle since I was a child. How could I not know such an obvious truth?"
Mrs. Rong tried to control her temper and asked me gently, "Then why are you still doing things your own way?"
I swallowed hard. "If this circle isn't suitable for me, I'll consider not joining it."
Mrs. Rong: "What?"
Me: "I don't necessarily have to marry into the Rong family."
Mrs. Rong was extremely angry. "Do you know... Rong Bo has been on a hunger strike for three days to persuade me to let you marry into our family! He's so deeply in love with you, yet you... are playing with his feelings like this!"
Me: !!!!
That dog man!
He's ruining my reputation!
I quickly accompanied Mrs. Rong back to the mansion to visit the "patient".
As soon as I entered, I saw Rong Bo's father. He explained to me casually, "It's okay. He just caught a bit of a cold. And his mother has been nagging him about your recent situation these days, so he just has no appetite. Don't worry. Go up and see him, then you can go back."
Me: ...
Should I believe you or your wife?
Forget it.
I'll go upstairs and interview the person involved.
The Rong family mansion is really as retro and luxurious as Downton Abbey.
Knocking on the carved wooden door hurts my knuckles.
Finally, I heard the big devil's voice, "Come in."
Then I pushed the door open.
It was pitch - black. Even during the day, the curtains weren't drawn.
I saw a human - shaped outline on the bed from afar. After my eyes adjusted to the light, I found that Rong Bo was sitting up in his bathrobe.
I closed the door. "Are you sick?"
Rong Bo: "No."
Me: ".... Why are you pretending?"
Rong Bo: "My mother is forcing me to break up with you."
Me: ".... You don't have to protest so drastically, do you?"
What if she agrees? I have no intention of really marrying you!
Rong Bo said wearily with a haggard face, "Time is running out."
Me: !!!!
In the weak indoor light, I could see that the big shot's sharp features seemed to have lost some weight. In just three days, could it be that -
Tears welled up in my eyes. "Are you dying?!"
Rong Bo spat out a single word forcefully, "Get out!"
I let out a sigh of relief. "Hey, you scared me. Then why did you say time is not enough?"
He was silent for a moment. "There's a reason. I urgently need 15% of the equity."
Grandma's 15% won't be given to him until he gets married...
I was shocked. "What?!!!"
