Su Xi's eyes widened; she hadn't expected the man to pull this stunt.
Just as she was about to push him away, she heard his sweet whispers in her ear, and then felt a cool sensation on her fingers, as if something was wrapped around them.
Su Xi tried to look down, but the man's kiss was so passionate that he didn't give her a chance to breathe.
He didn't know how much time had passed before he finally let her go.
He whispered softly in her ear, "A special wedding gift for you."
Su Xi raised her hand and looked at it, then froze completely on the spot.
A diamond ring had appeared on her ring finger.
The size was just right, as if it were tailor-made for her.
"Zhou Jingming, where did you get this ring?"
Su Xi examined the diamond ring. The enormous pigeon egg-shaped diamond shimmered with an intoxicating luster under the sunlight. The diamond also featured a unique star pattern, making the design both luxurious and exquisite.
Zhou Jingming lightly flicked her forehead, "It was a magic trick, do you believe it?"
Su Xi raised an eyebrow, "Try to conjure one more for me."
Zhou Jingming snapped his fingers at her, and suddenly another red rose appeared in his hand.
"You really know magic?"
Su Xi was surprised again, "When did you learn that?"
Zhou Jingming raised his lips, "There's a lot you don't know."
After saying that, he took her hand, bent down and kissed the diamond ring, "Do you like it?"
Su Xi's heart was already in turmoil, and she hummed in agreement, "Not bad."
"Just not bad?"
This diamond ring was designed by an internationally renowned jewelry designer, and it took him a whole month of revisions to complete it recently.
There is only one of its kind in the world.
It represents his unique love for her.
"Su Xi, Young Master Zhou, you can get ready to begin." Director Zhu's voice came from the front.
Su Xi stood up and winked at the man. "I really like the ring. Thank you, husband."
But for some reason, I still felt a little empty inside, as if something was missing.
The final scene is their wedding night.
During the shoot, Zhou Jingming kept flirting with her, but he knew his limits and didn't overdo it.
The two worked together seamlessly, displaying genuine emotion, which impressed the entire staff.
Even Director Zhu couldn't hide his excitement and exclaimed, "Perfect, absolutely perfect! This drama will definitely become the most wonderful work of the year once it is released."
A group of people were celebrating the successful conclusion of Lie Ruge's story, but no one noticed that a malevolent gaze was shooting towards them from not far away.
The slender figure hiding in the corner wore a baseball cap with the brim pulled low, obscuring most of her face.
"Su Xi, I will not let you get away with this."
The other person's face was full of jealousy and resentment, and they gripped the wall tightly with both hands, leaving a scratch.
...
Zhou Jingming was in a good mood, and after the closing ceremony, he generously offered to treat the entire crew to dinner and a hot spring.
The restaurant is set at the Kyoto Daiichi Hotel.
In addition to soaking in the hot springs, rooms were also booked for everyone.
All of them are presidential suites.
The hot springs are located in each room. After dinner, everyone goes back to their room to soak, and then rests.
This arrangement is incredibly extravagant.
Everyone knows that as the best hotel in Kyoto, the First Hotel's food prices are outrageously expensive, and Zhou Jingming ordered every single dish.
The presidential suite, which includes a hot spring, is priced at an exorbitant price for one night.
At the dinner table, everyone raised their glasses to toast Su Xi, wishing her "Lie Ru Ge" great success and hoping she would win the Best Actress award this year.
After these months of cooperation, everyone has witnessed Su Xi's hard work and capabilities.
Previously, because Su Xi was embroiled in scandals, they looked down on her and even despised her.
They believe that Su Xi moves among men and obtains resources by flaunting her looks.
Only after they started working with her did they realize that it was all just a facade.
Su Xi's acting skills far surpass anyone else's, and are even on par with the award-winning actress Xing Lan.
"Thank you all for your trust, we all want to win awards." Su Xi accepted everyone's enthusiasm.
Seeing her down glass after glass of red wine, Zhou Jingming stood up and took the glass from her, saying, "My wife can't hold her liquor, I'll drink it for her."
After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
"Isn't Young Master Zhou spoiling Sister Xi a bit too much?" Xiao Mei said with a face full of envy.
"Of course! Why bother eating? We're already full from dog food." Everyone chimed in.
Xiao Mei also noticed the diamond ring on Su Xi's ring finger and exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Xi's diamond ring is so beautiful, was it a gift from Young Master Zhou?"
This mention drew everyone's attention to Su Xi's hands.
The sparkling diamond ring is simply too luxurious.
This made everyone even more envious.
They even egged them on, saying, "When can we turn this wedding night into a real celebration and actually drink the wedding wine?"
Su Xi opened her mouth as if to say something, but then she heard Zhou Jingming say loudly, "As long as Xi'er is willing to marry, I dare to marry her anytime."
"Oh my god, what a romantic confession! So charming and sweet!"
The women at the scene screamed.
Su Xi heard this but only managed a forced smile.
With a diamond ring and a confession of love, is Zhou Jingming serious?
Zhou Jingming has a high alcohol tolerance; he drank glass after glass of red wine without changing his expression.
After one round, he sat back down in his seat.
Su Xi leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Young Master Zhou is so generous, what do you want in return?"
"What do you think?" The man breathed hot air into her ear.
Su Xi was slightly burned, and kicked him lightly under the table. "There are so many people watching, be more reserved."
"Shy?" Zhou Jingming teased her silently. "Then let's go back to the room first."
"Zhou Jingming, you..."
Before Su Xi could finish speaking, the man stood up again and said to everyone, "Xi'er is a little drunk, so I'll take her back to her room first. Everyone, please eat and drink as you like, and order more if you're not full. Don't be shy."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man picked her up in his arms in front of everyone and strode towards the door.
Everyone was envious of Su Xi and praising Zhou Jingming's overflowing boyfriend charm. Only Xu Lang sat silently, waving his fists and claws at Zhou Jingming's back.
...
Zhou Jingming booked this hotel with a specific purpose in mind.
Ostensibly, it was an invitation to dinner, but actually, there were ulterior motives.
Su Xi was carried to the presidential suite on the top floor. The entire floor was open-plan, and the luxurious and lavish decor was no less impressive than his newly purchased villa.
It's less of a room and more of a private residence.
"It must have cost a lot of money to book this room, right?"
Zhou Jingming placed her on the sofa and sat down next to her, saying, "It's our own place, no need to pay."
"What did you say?"
Su Xi's eyes widened in surprise.
Zhou Jingming smiled and said, "I own this hotel."
Su Xi finally understood.
No wonder this man was so extravagant in his hospitality, booking so many presidential suites.
It turns out it was their own business.
"Young Master Zhou is a hidden master, a real hidden big shot." Su Xi exclaimed in surprise.
As the largest hotel in Kyoto, the First Hotel is a place frequented by the upper class and nobility. Su Xi only knew that the owner behind the hotel was a person of great status.
Unexpectedly, it was Zhou Jingming!
