Chapter 409: Watching
The exhibition of paintings by emerging writers was held in the art gallery in the city center. When Li Jinxing brought Nie Yao to the gallery, many celebrities from the business and art circles had already arrived outside the gallery.
Except for Nie Yao and Li Jinxing, everyone else present was dressed very elegantly. The men were all in suits and ties, while the women were all in gorgeous evening gowns.
Seeing this, Nie Yao lowered her head and glanced at her casual clothes. She said hesitantly, "I don't think my outfit is suitable for this occasion. I'd better leave..."
She turned around and was about to leave, but Li Jinxing grabbed her wrist.
"You're already here, why are you leaving?" Li Jinxing shook his head and said jokingly, "Look, I'm not wearing formal clothes either. You don't have to worry about others looking at you strangely, because I'm here with you!"
"But I see there are many celebrities here. Wouldn't I make you feel embarrassed?" Nie Yao asked in a low voice.
"Little fool, you used to be fearless and even took off your shoes at your own welcome dinner. Why are you scared now?"
Li Jinxing tapped the tip of her nose, raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.
"So that's how it was. Things are different now..." Nie Yao shrugged. It turned out that she was alone, so of course she didn't have to worry about anything!
But she is Li Jinxing's girlfriend now. Even if she doesn't care about the outside world's opinions, she cannot hold Li Jinxing back and let Li Jinxing be ridiculed because of her words and deeds!
"There's no difference. With me, you just need to be yourself. There's no need to change anything!" Li Jinxing smiled faintly and walked towards the entrance of the art gallery holding her hand.
At this moment, more and more people came to the art gallery to visit the exhibition. The tailoring activity had not yet started, so those who arrived early had already started holding champagne and gathered in twos and threes to start chatting and greeting.
Some people come to the exhibition alone and quietly admire the paintings hanging on the walls of the art gallery.
"Shall I get you some champagne?" Li Jinxing released her hand and said softly.
Nie Yao nodded silently, and after Li Jinxing left, she raised her head to look at the walls on both sides of the art gallery and began to slowly appreciate the paintings there.
Nie Yao's overly simple outfit also attracted many celebrities who came to the exhibition. Many people looked at her sideways and talked about her in a low voice.
"She looks familiar. I feel like I've seen her somewhere..."
"Have you forgotten that she is Nie Yao, the daughter of the Nie family who was brought back with great fanfare? She's been trending online for a while now, she's quite famous!"
"It's her! She rarely attends these public events. I'm really unfamiliar with her. But it's also strange. Why is she dressed like this when she comes to visit the art exhibition today?"
"Who knows? The Nie family wouldn't deduct her clothing expenses, would they? Dressing like this is even more plain than me playing golf!"
Several wealthy wives who came to the exhibition with their daughters looked at Nie Yao and laughed softly.
Nie Jinxi, holding a glass of champagne, happened to pass by this group of people and heard their discussion about Nie Yao. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips slightly.
She also subconsciously looked in Nie Yao's direction and saw Nie Yao standing in front of a painting, pretending to look at it, as if she was really appreciating it. It was a pity... She believed that since Nie Yao had no experience of being raised in a wealthy family since childhood, she would not be able to understand it at all!
