The passenger seat, naturally, was reserved for Liu Rumeng. Zhu Lingling, Lu Ruirong, Yu Qixia, and Shi Jiayi, feeling slightly cramped but unable to conceal their excitement, slid into the spacious and comfortable back seat. The leather seats felt soft and cool to the touch, carrying the distinct scent of premium leather and an intangible sense of class.
The space inside the car is extremely spacious, but even so, the four young and beautiful girls squeezed together still exude a silent tension that makes one's heart beat faster.
Lin Huowang personally walked around to the driver's seat and got in. His movements were steady and smooth. With a turn of the key, the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow's iconic engine emitted a deep, rich roar, like a dormant beast awakened. The engines of the two luxury cars behind, carrying the bodyguards, also roared almost simultaneously.
Outside the car window, countless eyes were focused, and the spotlights poured down madly on the dark car like a never-ending white rainstorm. The reporters, like a disturbed herd of beasts, burst into even more frantic shouts and chasing steps:
"Come on! Come on!"
"Rolls-Royce! It must be heading towards the Mandarin Oriental!"
"Oh my god! Five beauties in one car! Xiaolinsheng is so lucky tonight... It's simply overwhelming! It's amazing!"
The paparazzi who were waiting there instantly went into a state of complete frenzy, their adrenaline levels soaring sharply.
Some people were still frantically pressing the shutter button to capture the final scene of the car leaving; others were like hyenas smelling blood, rushing towards their dilapidated cars parked on the roadside at full speed, starting the engines in a hurry, and the wheels rubbing against the ground made a harsh scream, trying to bite the silver Rolls-Royce in front of them, which symbolized power and elegance.
The various reporters mingled in the crowd, their minds racing, calculating tomorrow's headlines:
Financial reporters stared at the taillights of the Rolls-Royce, thinking, "This is Mr. Kobayashi's first public appearance since taking over Jardine Matheson Holdings, and he drove a luxury car with Miss Hong Kong's new lover to the company's top hotel."
This is a hotel owned by Hong Kong Land. What market signals will the spending habits of Lin Huo Wang, the new owner, send? Are the personal indulgences of this young tycoon linked to the company's strategy? Tomorrow's financial headlines will undoubtedly focus on the intertwining of Hong Kong Land's properties and Lin Huo Wang's activities.
Entertainment reporters' minds were preoccupied with Liu Rumeng's ethereal profile and the shadows of the four contestants in the back seat, eager to capture the sensational effects of headlines like "Miss Hong Kong's five beauties compete for attention, and Xiao Linsheng's love life stirs up another storm!" and "A prelude to the Miss Hong Kong finals? Xiao Linsheng's dinner banquet for the top five contestants is a potential prelude to the pageant!" They were eager to capture the dynamics of the restaurant; any detail would spark buzz.
The tabloid reporters' faces flushed with excitement, their throats churning out even more vulgar and obscene headlines, such as "One Dragon, Five Phoenixes, Lavish Banquet! Xiao Linsheng Secretly Meets Miss Hong Kong at Mandarin Oriental!" and "Wealthy Family Secret! Xiao Linsheng Travels with Liu Rumeng and Four Beauties, Suspected of Enjoying the Bliss of Wifey!" They didn't need much evidence; just a blurry figure and an exaggerated headline would ignite the gossip fire of Hong Kong.
The Rolls-Royce drove smoothly out of the chaotic square in front of the TVB building and merged into the evening traffic.
The paparazzi cars behind were like maggots on the tarsal bone, biting tightly. Inside the car, the atmosphere was subtle and tense.
Yu Qixia couldn't help but look back at the paparazzi chasing the car, with a hint of excitement on her face.
Lu Ruirong tried his best to remain calm, looking ahead with focused eyes.
Shi Jiayi subconsciously shrank back into her seat, as if trying to avoid the prying eyes outside the window.
Zhu Lingling's eyes occasionally fell on Lin Huowang's steady back in the driver's seat, with a hint of imperceptible inquiry.
Liu Rumeng sat quietly in the passenger seat, feeling her husband's presence beside her, but her heart was filled with mixed emotions. She was not completely confident, but the desire to make amends for her husband temporarily overwhelmed her uneasiness.
