Chapter 521 - She Turned Around and Found the Tall and Sturdy Nian Junting Standing at the Door (2/2)

In Harbin, at eleven o’clock in the morning, Luosang woke up, checked her Weibo[2] on her phone, and was stunned. A picture t.i.tled, “Chi Shengxu and his mysterious girlfriend went to a movie at midnight” was on top of the hot search list. In the picture, both she and Chi Shengxu were wrapped in clothes. Honestly, she could barely recognize herself. But still, it got her a little worried, so she hurriedly knocked on Chi Shengxu’s door and said, “You and I are on hot search. Check it and do something.”

Chi Shengxu rubbed his eyes and said, “Don’t worry, my manager called me this morning. I told her to release a Weibo post to clarify that the person in the picture wasn’t me. We even had our faces covered, so who could possibly recognize us?”

“Great then,” Luosang sighed in relief.

“What? Are you afraid that Nian Junting might misunderstand this?” said Chi Shengxu jokingly.

Luosang smiled awkwardly and said, “We already have enough to argue about. I don’t want new problems to crop up unexpectedly.”

“You’re right. We had planned to go to Central Avenue together this afternoon, but since some reporters already have their eyes on me, we’d better cancel that plan,” said Chi Shengxu with faint helplessness in his eyes. “Let’s just stay here in this apartment.”

“I’m thinking the same thing. I have to fly to Shanghai tomorrow morning for my voice acting job,” said Luosang, feeling guilty.

“I’ve heard about that. Ji Nuanyi wants you to be her exclusive voice actor. Some directors I know want to work with you as well. This time, Yi Jingxi is not going to stop you.” Chi Shengxu was happy for her. “I hope that we’ll have a chance to work together.”

“We will.” Luosang was cheered up talking about voice acting.

…

At night, Nian Junting went to Shanghai by air. Ji Nuanyi had told him where Lusoang would be staying. He had been down for days, but knowing that he would see Luosang tomorrow, he was now thrilled. He planned to tell her clearly that he loved her, and that he would only sleep with her, not any another woman.

On the quiet plane, a conversation between two young girls was overheard. “I heard that Chi Shengxu has a girlfriend. Yesterday, they went to a New Year’s premiere together.” Nian Junting’s attention was instantly attracted when he heard Chi Shengxu’s name.

“That’s fake news. Chi Shengxu’s studio has clarified it,” said another girl. “Chi Shengxu was in Beijing for the New Year’s Gala last night. How could he suddenly go to Harbin for New Year’s Eve?”

Harbin… Nian Junting remembered that he had sent someone to the airport to check, and according to them, Luosang had taken a plane to Harbin. He hurriedly switched on his phone and searched for the news about Chi Shengxu. There was a picture in which a man and a woman were walking out of a cinema with their whole bodies wrapped in clothes. Even their faces were covered.

That wasn’t Luosang. That was definitely not Luosang. How could Luosang ever dress so unattractively? There must be a mistake. Besides, Chi Shengxu had denied it.

…

The day after New Year’s day, at eleven in the morning, Luosang arrived in Shanghai and took a taxi to the hotel. When checking in, the front desk manager checked her ID card, then gave her a weird glance.

Luosang didn’t think too much about it before she went upstairs and opened the door. She first saw a man’s suit on the floor hanger by the door and a pair of men’s shoes on the ground. There was water on the floor and the sounds of a hair drier coming from the bathroom.

She glanced at her room card to confirm the room number. That was her room, but why was a man already here? With discontent, she turned and prepared to leave, but suddenly, a familiar, deep voice stopped her. “Don’t go.”

She paused, turned around, and saw the tall and st.u.r.dy Nian Junting standing at the door. He was wearing a pair of trousers with his upper body bare, and his hair was still damp.
