As soon as he left, the two receptionists brazenly stared at his tall figure and sized him up.
Only after he had walked away did the two begin to whisper to each other again.
"Wasn't the person who went to see him just now some celebrity's assistant? Do you know who that person is? I'm so curious about who that man was looking for. I'm so envious of her."
"Haha, I happen to know! But I won't tell you yet, why don't you guess?"
"Wow, how could I possibly guess? So many female celebrities stay at our hotel. Wait, maybe she's some male celebrity's assistant, how would I know? Can you give me a hint?"
"Okay, you must know that guy who's been trending on social media every other day."
"Trending on social media? So you mean Wen Yan?"
"That's right, that's her assistant, I think her name is Xingxing, I think I heard Wen Yan call her that once."
"Holy crap! What am I supposed to say? If that incredibly handsome guy from earlier were photographed by some entertainment reporter or public account and posted online, Wen Yan would probably be trending on social media again!"
"What do you think? Absolutely! Her love life has always been under a lot of scrutiny. Tsk, beautiful women are different, surrounded by handsome men. I'm so envious."
"But maybe they're here to see that assistant."
"How could that be? Look at how those two were talking just now, they clearly don't know each other well."
"That's right, today should be the first time we've met."
He Xing was standing there texting Wen Yan when she inadvertently looked up and felt the gazes of the two receptionists. She quickly picked up the paper bag and went upstairs.
After returning to her room and putting away the chocolates, He Xing couldn't help but ask Wen Yan on WeChat.
"That man was so handsome, Yan Yan! Is he one of your suitors? But I've worked with you for so long and I've never seen him before."
Wen Yan: 'What are you thinking about all day long in your little head? That's my older brother.'
'Huh? My older brother?'
'It's not even dark yet and you're already talking in your sleep? Have you forgotten I was adopted?'
"Oh, right. I completely forgot. The things are all put away."
As he spoke, He Xing took a picture of Wen Yan and sent it to her.
'Then I'll come find you now.'
"No need, you don't need to come over for now. If I don't go back to the hotel after dinner, I'll probably go straight to the film set. I'll let you know in advance if I do. You can have some fun on your own."
"Yes, ma'am!"
Since it was a rare holiday, He Xing immediately went back to his room and ordered takeout.
While waiting for the food delivery, she scrolled through short videos on her phone.
She usually likes to look at handsome men, so the short video app keeps recommending all kinds of handsome men to her.
As she was scrolling, she suddenly saw Shen Jinghe.
The moment she saw Shen Jinghe's handsome face, she was reminded of that dashing guy from earlier.
She had felt he looked familiar, as if he resembled someone, but she couldn't quite place him. Now she knew.
So that's why she looks like Shen Jinghe!
He Xing couldn't help but sigh:
Tsk tsk, indeed, all stunningly beautiful features have something in common.
It's just a pity that this handsome guy and Yan Yan are siblings.
But it doesn't matter, Teacher Shen and Yan Yan are not siblings!

On the way back, Shen Jingxiu received a call from Shen Jingchuan.
Actually, he had planned to have dinner with Shen Jingxiu yesterday, but he gave up the idea after hearing that Shen Jingxiu had made plans with Wen Yan.
He's calling now because he's bored and has nothing better to do than...
"How's it going, brother? Have you seen Wen Yan yet?"
There was no one in the car, so Shen Jingxiu put it on speakerphone.
He kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead, offering no answer but asking questions instead.
"What's up? Is this all you called to ask?"
"Yes and no. I messaged Wen Yan but she didn't reply. I happen to be free today, so why don't you guys take me with you when you eat? It's a bit boring eating alone."
Shen Jingxiu chuckled: "Back when you were abroad and wouldn't even come back for the New Year's reunion dinner, didn't you say you liked being alone and quiet?"
"Um... Brother, a hero doesn't dwell on past glories. That's all in the past. Send me the address, I'll come find you."
"I'll come find you. Send me your location."
"Huh? Why are you planning to bring Wen Yan along? Didn't you say she only had a few hours? Is that enough time?"
Shen Jingxiu frowned slightly: "I didn't see her. She had other plans."
"Huh? You got stood up? What kind of arrangements? A plan agreed upon a day in advance can be changed? She's not usually like that. Was it something very important?"
"That must be something very important to her."
"Hmph, that guy. Did you talk about her or not?"
"Why are you criticizing her? Isn't this a normal thing?"
Today marks her first public appearance as one of the owners of Sanzhong Entertainment, which must be quite important for her.
"Just keep spoiling her. You should tell her your dissatisfaction and ask her to treat you to a meal next time as compensation, and invite me too."
Shen Jingxiu curled his lips: "Your abacus beads have all fallen into my face."
He won't do that. It's just a meal; I'll let him treat me to as many meals as I want.
"Then I'll send you my location. I happen to have something I'd like to ask you, brother."
-
Wen Yan hadn't checked her phone for quite a while.
Since everyone had arrived, the dinner had already begun.
