Chapter 18: The one where Gu Yishen was asked to buy a bag
Feng Xu couldn't bear to watch; he felt that Lin Manxi's behavior was really beneath her dignity.
If you're in a hurry, can't you just call a taxi yourself? Doesn't your company have a car for employees? Can't you drive your dad's car for a bit?
Besides, what a coincidence that I lost my car keys the moment I ran into Brother Shen.
However, because of her status, they still had to give way to her.
Feng Xu felt genuinely aggrieved for Gu Yishen.
Gu Yishen pursed his lips and finally said, "Then I'll trouble Miss Lin to be careful and avoid the paparazzi."
"Feng Xu, come and tell me about the show the day after tomorrow."
With that, Gu Yishen pressed the car key and got into the car first.
Upon hearing Gu Yishen's instruction, Feng Xu immediately understood that Gu Yishen was reminding him to sit in the passenger seat.
Lin Manxi had achieved her goal and was secretly happy when Feng Xu bypassed her, opened the passenger door first, and plopped inside.
Feng Xu's entire set of movements was as smooth as water and as fast as lightning, leaving Lin Manxi dumbfounded.
However, she was too embarrassed to say that she wanted to sit in the front passenger seat, so she took two steps back and walked towards the back seat.
Suddenly, Lin Manxi saw through the wide-angle lens that not far behind them, a person with a camera was hiding behind the wall, peeking out and watching them.
As expected, there were paparazzi! Lin Manxi was overjoyed.
However, given the distance and angle, coupled with the person's timid and cautious demeanor, it's likely that even if they tried to take a picture, they wouldn't be able to capture anything significant.
Lin Manxi was a little anxious. Once she got into the car, Gu Yishen would drive away, and what would the paparazzi do then? Take pictures of their smoking car rear end?
Lin Manxi gathered the hem of her skirt, deliberately dawdling as she pondered a solution.
Gu Yishen and Feng Xu were well aware of Lin Manxi's ulterior motives.
"Brother Shen..." Feng Xu saw the figure in the distance in the rearview mirror and called out to remind him.
Gu Yishen was getting impatient, and he slammed the horn down.
With a "beep," Lin Manxi was startled.
Knowing that Gu Yishen was getting impatient, she had no choice but to slowly reach out and open the car door.
Just as Lin Manxi was about to get into the car, she caught a glimpse of an advertising display near the elevator entrance leading from the parking lot to the supermarket.
Today is the opening day of the mass-market brand store under the globally renowned haute couture brand "Britney" at Xingda Shopping Mall.
They not only held a small exhibition at Xingda, but also invited many media outlets to report on it.
This is a golden opportunity!
After learning that Gu Yishen was going to meet with Director Tan that night, Lin Manxi specially came here early in the morning to wait for him.
She even deliberately threw her car keys into the shrimp freezer in the supermarket's fresh produce section, just so she could take the opportunity to talk to Gu Yishen and then be exposed by the paparazzi.
If the media attending the exhibition could capture this, wouldn't that be much more effective than a paparazzi's exposé?
With a heavy heart, Lin Manxi lifted her toes and slammed her heel hard against the ground.
"Ouch!" Lin Manxi cried out in pain and fell to the ground with great grace.
Gu Yishen and Feng Xu turned around at the same time and saw Lin Manxi sitting pitifully on the ground. They knew that she was about to cause trouble again.
Gu Yishen let out a heavy sigh and gave Feng Xu a look. Even though Feng Xu was extremely unwilling, he could only resign himself to getting out of the car and going to "rescue the damsel in distress" for Gu Yishen.
Feng Xu knew that he didn't want to be the "hero," and Lin Manxi was even less willing.
After all, this "beauty" of hers had always fantasized that the "hero" who wore golden armor, rode on colorful auspicious clouds, and repeatedly saved her from danger was Gu Yishen.
As Lin Manxi groaned and groaned while holding her leg, she heard someone get out of the car and walk towards her. She naturally assumed that it was Gu Yishen who had gotten out of the car to help her.
So when the person's footsteps approached, Lin Manxi lowered her head, so that her long hair just covered half of her face, vaguely revealing her perfect profile. Coupled with her deliberately pitiful expression, she looked absolutely adorable!
Unfortunately, just as Lin Manxi struck what she thought was a pose that would be incredibly effective against Gu Yishen, she heard a soft, unsteady voice coming from above her.
"Miss Lin, what's wrong? Let me help you up."
Lin Manxi looked up in surprise, only to realize that it wasn't Gu Yishen who had come over, but his assistant Feng Xu.
She glanced at Gu Yishen, who sat motionless in the driver's seat without even turning his head, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
As a delicate and precious female celebrity, Lin Manxi naturally didn't want to sit on the dirty ground all the time.
"Thank you, Assistant Feng." She thanked Feng Xu politely, and then, with his help, stood up.
When Feng Xu saw Lin Manxi get up, he was about to let go when he saw Lin Manxi's body go limp again, and she looked like she was about to fall down again.
Feng Xu quickly supported Lin Manxi's shoulder and then swiftly took her arm.
In order to maintain a safe distance from Lin Manxi, Feng Xu could only support her in an extremely awkward position.
However, Lin Manxi was completely supported by Feng Xu's strength at this moment, and Feng Xu could only stand there tensely, not daring to move again.
“Miss Lin… what’s wrong? Should I call an ambulance for you…” Feng Xu asked.
"Oh, no need to trouble Assistant Feng, I'll be fine in a bit," Lin Manxi replied softly.
Feng Xu was speechless...
What on earth is Miss Lin doing?! She says she has an appointment tonight and is running late, but she's dawdling here and refusing to leave.
The key point is!
He's not Brother Shen! What's with her hanging around here?!
Gu Yishen frowned as he looked at the tense situation between the two in the rearview mirror, and had no choice but to open the door and get out of the car.
"What's wrong, Miss Lin?"
Gu Yishen walked up to the two of them and asked a question in a nonchalant manner.
Feng Xu didn't know how to answer. Based on his understanding of this Miss Lin, he figured she just wanted to cause trouble.
When Lin Manxi saw that Gu Yishen was finally willing to "care" about her, she quickly covered her lower abdomen with her hands, and her cheeks flushed.
"Brother Shen, I...I suddenly have a terrible stomachache..." she said, lowering her eyes shyly.
Seeing Lin Manxi's behavior, Feng Xu barely restrained the urge to throw her out.
If your stomach hurts, so be it. Why are you so shy? It's like someone did something to you.
"Should I take you to the hospital or should I have Feng Xu call an ambulance for you?" Gu Yishen asked calmly.
"Ah, no need, no need. It's just that, Brother Shen... Look, there's a supermarket right here in Xingda Shopping Mall. Could you please buy me a pack of... um... painkillers?"
