In the end, Shi Xing and Xu Bai had dinner at the Tan family's house before saying goodbye. Shi Xing even added Old Master Tan on WeChat.
Tan Sinian and Ding Xinwan saw the two off.
"Xingxing, how many days are you going to stay here? If you need me, I can be your tour guide."
Shi Xing thought for a moment and replied to Ding Xinwan, "No need to trouble you, Xu Bai and I can play by ourselves."
Ding Xinwan, clearly realizing that her presence would make her look like a third wheel, nodded and said, "Okay, you can ask me if you have any questions."
Tan Sinian's gaze swept over the two of them before finally settling on Shi Xing.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Mr. Shi, today."
You're too kind.
Fortunately, he didn't say much to them and got into the car to leave.
Tan Ssu-nien stood at the door and watched them go until the vehicle disappeared from sight.
Ding Xinwan turned to look at him and teased with a smile, "Brother Sinian, you don't happen to have a crush on Xingxing, do you? I've seen you looking at her all day and always trying to strike up a conversation with her."
Tan Sinian glanced back at her but didn't say anything.
Ding Xinwan stared wide-eyed: "Really?"
She patted Tan Sinian on the shoulder: "Then you should give up on that idea. Fortunately, you already have a boyfriend, Mr. Xu Bai."
Tan Sinian turned and went back into the courtyard without expression.
"Tsk, what a missed opportunity~" Ding Xinwan, who remained where she was, shrugged and made a nonchalant expression, as if she was enjoying the show.
She then went back inside.
During their few days there, Shi Xing and Xu Bai were full of energy and enjoyed their time together every day.
They went to watch the flag-raising ceremony early in the morning, climbed the Great Wall, and visited the Forbidden City.
It was a sunny and beautiful day.
The two even arranged for a professional photographer to take photos of them while they visited the Forbidden City.
They booked a hotel nearby, and the makeup artist they had arranged came to their home to do their makeup and styling.
To make Xu Bai look handsome, Shi Xing bought Ming Dynasty clothing.
Wearing a black and gold horse-face skirt with a golden hair crown, she exuded a strong sense of oppression, as if she held great power and had everything under control with nonchalant ease.
The black and gold-embroidered flying fish robe perfectly accentuated his cold and indifferent temperament.
The high ponytail with some wispy bangs made the smooth lines and three-dimensional features of the face even more pleasing to the eye.
With a brocade spring knife, he was like a commander who had transcended time and space, possessing superb martial arts skills and an imposing aura.
Xu Bai, completely without makeup, is so perfect that she seems unreal without any embellishment.
Shi Xing's eyes lit up: "So handsome! I have to take a picture of him that I'm satisfied with today."
One of the makeup artists was full of amazement and praised repeatedly: "You two have such outstanding features, and this makeup and styling suits you very well."
"Thanks."
The two makeup artists packed up their things and prepared to leave: "Have a good time, we're off now."
"good."
Shi Xing couldn't resist taking a few photos of Xu Bai with his phone first.
She already has many photos of Xu Bai on her phone, and each one is so beautiful that she can't bear to put it down.
With a face and figure like that, she would look good no matter how she was photographed. She can guarantee that it's not her lover's fascination with Xi Shi (a legendary beauty in Chinese history) that's involved; that's an objective fact.
She kissed Xu Bai's face, a face that was so utterly despicable that it was infuriating to both gods and men.
"If I were the emperor, you would definitely be the wicked empress."
Xu Bai's narrow phoenix eyes curved into a smile: "This shows that I can please the Emperor."
Shi Xing laughed as well: "Let's go."
"Mm." He took Shi Xing's hand, and the two walked out of the hotel.
The Forbidden City is not far away, and the photographer arrived shortly after we got there.
Seeing the surprise in their eyes, they asked, "Are you Miss Shi and Mr. Shi?"
"It's us."
"Okay, let's go in then."
The photographer began to communicate with them about the specific feeling they wanted.
Although we had discussed it the day before, we could only get the best feel for the makeup and styling after seeing it in person.
As they talked, they arrived at the scenic spot. The photographer also learned how to take the photos, and he guided the two of them while snapping away with great satisfaction.
The two are so good-looking that they look perfect from any angle, making them easy to photograph.
There were quite a few tourists inside, many of whom were wearing elaborate and beautiful costumes.
Standing before the tall and magnificent building, Shi Xing glanced disdainfully at the camera and flicked his sleeve.
Meanwhile, Xu Bai held the finely crafted hilt of a knife in a protective gesture, the tip of the sword pointing directly at the camera.
The camerawoman's lips never left her mouth; she had a constant, doting smile on her face.
As she admired the finished product, she was struck by a burst of inspiration.
Two young women suddenly walked in during halftime.
Excited yet shy, the two pulled and tugged at each other as they walked over.
"Hello, are you General Manager Shi?"
Shi Xing smiled at them and said, "That's me."
They shyly took out their phones: "I'm your fan, may I take a picture with you?"
Shi Xing was slightly surprised, not expecting to run into fans when she went out.
She nodded: "Okay, let's go."
The two girls stood happily to her side, then glanced at Xu Bai standing to the side.
"Ms. Shi, is it alright if your boyfriend comes along too?"
I've seen this handsome guy before in posts on Shi Zong's sister's Douyin account, and he's also appeared on Shi Zong's Weibo multiple times.
Their fans have already assumed that this incredibly handsome man is President Shi's boyfriend.
Shi Xing nodded and waved to Xu Bai.
Xu Bai then obediently walked to her side, reached out and held her hand.
The photographer took photos of the group, and the two said goodbye with satisfaction.
"Thank you, Ms. Shi. You are so beautiful! Like a fairy. And this gentleman is such a perfect match for you! I wish you happiness."
Xu Bai's smile widened: "Could I see your payment QR code?"
The two were puzzled and exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
However, one of the girls still complied with his request and showed him her payment QR code.
Xu Bai took out his phone and tapped the QR code to receive payment.
The girl then received a deposit of 50,000 yuan on her phone.
She stared wide-eyed at the numbers on her phone.
"Fifty thousand? Sir, why are you suddenly giving me money?"
"It's for you to have milk tea," Xu Bai explained gently, in a good mood.
"Huh???!" The two looked utterly astonished.
"50,000 for a milk tea?" Is there some mistake? What kind of milk tea costs 25,000 a cup?
"Okay." Xu Bai nodded, then put his phone away.
They usually use the Shixing supplementary card for all their spending, accumulating points for her.
However, they all receive a salary, which is 100 times higher than that of similar positions in the market.
He rarely spends money, yet his savings have long exceeded ten figures.
He would have liked to give even more if it weren't strange to give too much.
Shi Xing couldn't help but laugh: Ah Xu is really cute!
Clearly, he has learned Shi Xing's way of spending money.
