Chapter 19 You can dodge the first day of the month, but you can't dodge the fifteenth.
Lin Manxi looked shy and timid, and Feng Xu was amazed by her methods!
That's really impressive!
They actually made her husband, Shen, go to the supermarket to buy her sanitary napkins! It's true what they say, women and petty men are the hardest to deal with!
Feng Xu instinctively wanted to suggest that he go buy it, but when he saw Gu Yishen's thoughtful expression, he suddenly realized what he meant.
There were paparazzi spying on them; it wouldn't be so bad if it were Brother Shen going to buy something.
But if he leaves now, wouldn't Gu Yishen and Lin Manxi be left alone together?
"Miss Fulin, please wait for me in the car." Gu Yishen glanced at Lin Manxi, said nothing more, and turned to walk towards the entrance leading to the mall.
Gu Yishen left decisively, and Feng Xu helped Lin Manxi into the car, but he was still restless.
He sat in the passenger seat, glancing at Lin Manxi in the back seat through the rearview mirror every now and then.
He always felt that Lin Manxi wouldn't give up so easily, and might cause some more trouble.
Sure enough, not long after Gu Yishen left, Lin Manxi exclaimed in surprise that she had accidentally broken the heel of her high heels and insisted on buying a pair of flat shoes.
Feng Xu was immediately at his wit's end, wishing he could personally break off Lin Manxi's other shoe heel to make a new pair, thus dissuading her from buying shoes.
But he dared not...
Lin Manxi's stomach pain seemed to have subsided, and she insisted on going to Xingdali to buy shoes. Feng Xu tried to persuade her but couldn't stop her, and she eventually rushed into the mall.
Feng Xu had no choice but to hurry after them.
The paparazzi who had been hiding behind the wall saw something was up and hurriedly followed Feng Xu.
Lin Manxi said she was going to buy shoes, but once she entered Xingda, she immediately ran towards the supermarket section.
Feng Xu tried his best to catch up but couldn't. He wondered how Lin Manxi could run so fast while wearing high heels with one heel broken.
From a distance, wow!
It turns out that the person had already broken the heel of their other shoe while they were in the car.
In the daily necessities section, Lin Manxi finally spotted Gu Yishen frowning as he looked at the numerous items on a shelf of sanitary napkins.
"Brother Shen~ I'm here!" Lin Manxi called out in a booming voice.
At the same time, Gu Yishen's phone rang, and Feng Xu shouted anxiously on the other end of the line, "Brother Shen! Run! That paparazzi has followed us!"
Upon hearing Feng Xu's words, Gu Yishen glanced at Lin Manxi, adjusted his slightly lowered sunglasses, and turned to leave.
Lin Manxi glanced back discreetly, but didn't see the paparazzi following her, which annoyed her.
Damn it! No wonder this paparazzi can't get any juicy scoops and make any money!
I had clearly been deliberately controlling my speed, but he still lost me. He's nothing!
Now we can only rely on the media outlets attending the exhibition...
Lin Manxi bit her lip and followed in the direction Gu Yishen had left.
Gu Yishen walked very fast, and Lin Manxi followed closely in the crowd, struggling a bit.
Seeing that Gu Yishen was about to walk away, Lin Manxi simply ripped off the mask covering her face and called out to Gu Yishen.
"Brother Shen, wait for me!"
Gu Yishen paused in his steps.
Lin Manxi's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it had already attracted the attention of many people around her.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and immediately realized that the man and woman, who were enacting a "he escapes, she chases, he can't escape" scenario, looked increasingly familiar.
"Hey, look! That guy in front looks like Gu Yishen..." a young girl said to her friend.
"yes!"
"Hey! Look at that woman behind us! Isn't that Lin Manxi?!"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's her! I heard she's also from Sega, so that one in front must be Actor Gu!"
Gu Yishen never expected that Lin Manxi would actually expose their identities in public just to get involved with him.
Before he could react, he was already surrounded by the crowd.
Some young girls who were already fans of Gu Yishen were so excited that they squeezed to the front. Some took photos with their phones, while others were bold enough to ask if they could get her an autograph.
Gu Yishen frowned, his hands in his pockets.
Feng Xu has disappeared somewhere, but he should be coming over soon after hearing the commotion.
Gu Yishen thought that in the current situation, he couldn't just leave by saying he had mistaken someone for someone else. He could only nod slightly, which was a hasty greeting to everyone.
A small crowd had also gathered around Lin Manxi, but thankfully, most of them were customers shopping at Xingda Mall, along with a few sales assistants from nearby stores, so no crazy fans did anything outrageous.
Some security personnel even spontaneously stood guard around Gu Yishen and Lin Manxi to maintain order and prevent anyone from touching them inappropriately.
Gu Yishen suppressed his anger and tried his best to maintain a calm demeanor. On the one hand, he was annoyed by Lin Manxi's ridiculous behavior, and on the other hand, he was waiting for Feng Xu to arrive.
Unexpectedly, instead of the media outlets Feng Xu was hoping for, he was greeted by several media outlets that came to Xingda to report on the exhibition.
Lin Manxi realized it was time.
She softly said "Excuse me" to the people around her, and then walked confidently to Gu Yishen's side.
"I'm sorry, Brother Shen and I came to Xingda Shopping Mall for some personal business, but we accidentally got separated. I didn't expect it to cause such a commotion. I apologize to everyone, and please disperse."
As she spoke, Lin Manxi made a move to pull Gu Yishen away from the crowd.
Gu Yishen subtly stepped back half a step, dodging Lin Manxi's attempt to grab his hand.
The onlookers were abuzz with discussion.
The media rushed over as soon as they heard that Gu Yishen and a young actress from his company had appeared at Xingda Shopping Mall, hoping to get the latest news. They weren't about to leave so easily.
Reporters from several media outlets quickly signaled to their colleagues, and soon countless reporters, carrying cameras, surrounded Gu Yishen and Lin Manxi, snapping away incessantly.
Now Gu Yishen was completely surrounded, and the reporters took the opportunity to hand microphones to Gu Yishen and his companion and start asking questions.
"Mr. Gu, what brings you here? Is it because of the 'Britney' brand's exhibition today?"
"Mr. Gu, are you traveling with Ms. Lin Manxi?"
Gu Yishen remained silent.
When the reporters saw that Gu Yishen remained silent, they knew that he did not intend to answer their questions.
However, these reporters are all professionals. For them, getting an artist to talk is a piece of cake.
Suddenly, a tacit understanding formed among the reporters to "go all out".
"Mr. Gu, you and Lin Manxi both belong to Sega Entertainment, and you've both appeared here together. Do you have any special relationship beyond that of colleagues?"
