Chapter 505: The Favorite of the Entertainment Circle (24)
Actually.
That wasn't what Bai Heng meant, but Lan Lujie didn't understand. She probably considered him someone she could trust, and their relationship was undoubtedly just an ordinary one.
But he... didn't know what he was nervously waiting for.
"Thank you so much, I'll come back later to avoid them."
However, after he agreed, the woman nodded, stood up and left without saying another word.
Looking at her departing back, Bai Heng felt a little melancholy and bitter in his heart.
He cursed himself in his heart. Lan Lujie already had a child and someone she loved. Even if it was in the past, how could he think about those trivial things!
Bai Heng sighed.
I can only drive away my thoughts and convince myself not to have any unnecessary fantasies.
but.
In this way.
In order to avoid the limelight, Lan Lujie went to stay with Bai Heng temporarily.
She originally wanted to stay in a hotel.
But it’s not safe, you never know where you might be photographed by paparazzi.
When the time comes.
If she was photographed entering and leaving a hotel, those entertainment reporters would make up stories about who she was with, or which director she was with.
P another picture and post it.
That was enough for her.
In addition, Lan Lujie has been feeling that there has been no progress with the male lead recently, so she decided to just give up.
It really doesn't work.
At least there is still a male supporting character that can be conquered, although the rewards are a little less.
But you can earn points.
It's better than owing the system points and being punished by electric shocks from time to time.
therefore.
While thinking about finding an opportunity to hide from the limelight, Lan Lujie also secretly made up her mind.
In this case.
She might as well just go to Bai Heng like last time.
Who would have thought that the original owner was such a young lady.
Would you live in a rental house in a village in the city?
She always disguises herself every time she goes out, and the system helps her cover up. She just needs to pay attention to her whereabouts.
It won't be exposed at all.
This is one of the few benefits that Lan Lujie has of the system.
otherwise.
She went out with this face, without any disguise.
Isn't that clearly telling those entertainment reporters and paparazzi to take pictures of her?
She's not that stupid.
Be careful and make full preparations, and check carefully.
This time, Lan Lujie also brought some luggage and planned to stay with Bai Heng for a while.
At least.
She also needs to completely avoid the limelight first. Although the hot searches have been removed by the company, the popularity about her has not diminished.
Many people are searching for this.
The comments section under her post had already been flooded with comments. Lan Lujie didn't want to live a life of hiding in the future. She also wanted to give her children a normal life, to be able to take them out on the street normally, and give them the childhood they deserved.
And these two children.
After all, she is still the male protagonist's child. She is still young and can see Xiang Yuan's shadow.
Wait until it fully grows.
That would be a completely smaller version of Xiang Yuan. It would be impossible to hide it even if you wanted to.
Rather than being exposed.
Rather than being bombarded with criticism more than a decade later, it would be better for her to be frank and sincere and expose herself first. Even if she is attacked now, it will only hurt her due to rumors.
The children will not be implicated.
When everyone knows about it, these two children will grow up.
Even if he looks like Xiang Yuan.
People who know about these past events will not dwell on this point.
After all, you have to curse.
As early as when she broke out now, she had already begun to endure endless abuse.
After all, it was her own flesh and blood.
Lan Lujie still thought that if she had the conditions, she would try her best to give her child a complete childhood.
I don't want such a young child either.
They can’t even go out and play happily on the street, let alone go to school when they grow up.
In the end, we have to get in touch with and integrate into this society.
That's unavoidable.
Appear in front of others.
Lan Lujie still leans towards China, and if circumstances allow, she still wants her children to study in China. If she is really forced to do so and is criticized to the point that she can no longer accommodate both children, then she will do it to protect the children.
The only option is to go abroad again and let the children go to school abroad.
This was also what she expected.
Worst-case scenario.
Bai Heng, who had come to the rental house, tidied the room for her and helped carry her luggage, looked at her and seemed a little at a loss.
The two of them are in this state now.
It's like living together.
They are both single men and women in the same room, so it is hard not to think too much.
Bai Heng knew that Lan Lujie had no feelings for him, so he was very honest and well-behaved, and kept a distance from Lan Lujie in everything.
Looking at forums and various websites, there are constant hot searches about Lan Lujie.
Various analytical posts containing speculations and suspicions.
Now the deity is right in front of him.
Bai Heng couldn't help but have a strange and subtle feeling, but he saw that Lan Lujie was not embarrassed towards him at all and they were still communicating normally.
Bai Heng also felt better.
He was no longer so reserved towards Lan Lujie.
On Qiao Xi's side.
Ever since Fifth Night discovered that she was going out to eat and drink with others, Fifth Night's attitude towards her remained the same as before.
only.
Compared to the past, it seems to be getting closer.
Today is the fifth night.
I was also responsible for reporting various schedules to her. Except for the fact that the relationship sometimes became a little romantic at night, most of the time it seemed to remain normal.
The fifth night was not too aggressive.
Always strike a good balance.
Every time he stepped on the edge of Qiao Xi's attack and escaped unscathed, but the girl still didn't understand how Wu Ye managed to carry a weapon with him.
Except for the dagger.
Qiao Xi also saw whips and some other miscellaneous, unpopular and handy weapons, but occasionally ropes would make a friendly guest appearance.
There are both batons and punches.
Qiao Xi didn’t know what to say, she just felt it was quite exciting and fun for her.
So she didn't mind having a bit of a shove and push with the Fifth Night.
recent.
There has been some progress between her and Ce, and their relationship is quite close. The two of them will make appointments to go to some places to create memories together.
It was just at the beginning.
Ce still doesn't quite understand what the significance of such an action is.
but.
Later, when he saw the handicraft he and Qiao Xi had made together placed on the desk, Qiao Xi's appearance and memories related to her would involuntarily emerge in his mind.
Ce vaguely understood.
He also began to find some feelings, and unconsciously looked forward to the arrival of tomorrow, looking forward to what kind of surprise Qiao Xi would bring him.
From the warm time for two people.
Then there were some more exciting outdoor leisure activities, from mountain climbing to the glass plank road, followed by rock climbing and bungee jumping. Qiao Xi took him to almost every place he could go, and the girl planned where to go every day.
to this end.
Ce also postponed his work a little and used the vacation time he had saved for a long time.
And learned that he was on vacation.
The employees who worked under him and the business partners with whom he had close cooperation were also a little shocked.
But I don't plan to go on vacation.
They also wisely chose not to disturb other people's lives, and business and personal matters should be kept separate.
Er Ce always makes an appointment with Qiao Xi.
When I have free time, I will also take the opportunity to deal with the accumulated work and other matters on hand.
Even if he lets go for a while.
All those under his command already have mature systems, so even if he is not there, they will not be greatly affected.
There was loud music all around.
The sounds of people coming and going, talking and playing, seemed particularly noisy when they reached his ears, but Ce didn't have the extra time to pay attention to these things now.
His sight.
It fell on Qiao Xi, who was holding a half-human-height teddy bear doll beside her.
The girl's slender white hands.
She held the prize she had just won, and with her free hand, she ate a bunny-shaped marshmallow. Her beautiful eyes flickered as she walked out of the mall, looking at the shops on both sides of the pedestrian street.
"Shall we go shopping again?"
The little girl's excited voice came over, and Ce nodded slightly, agreeing without hesitation: "Okay."
It's quite strange.
After every date and fun together, Qiao Xi would leave and would not choose to go with him or ask to spend the night at his place.
But on second thought.
After all, they didn't have any special relationship, and Ce searched for those dating guides on the Internet.
most.
The option of staying overnight is only available if you are in a relationship.
Qiao Xi and him.
It's not a romantic relationship, it's just a transactional relationship, to accompany him in finding the lost emotions.
Although such a thing.
It is very common for some young couples, but for the countermeasures, there is still something different. It adds some different colors to his ordinary and boring life.
It's not a social occasion to play golf with partners.
It's not about doing business on a cruise ship.
He would not go to those high-end places that he was already accustomed to, or meet with partners in private clubs for confidential talks.
Occasionally.
He would receive invitations from some people to go to the red light district to experience relaxation.
But Ce is not interested in that kind of thing.
In addition, his physical condition was indeed real, so when someone invited him at first and found out that he was not coming, he would not come.
Also gradually.
As for invitations to the red-light district, those who wanted to do business with him gave up the idea of using the beauty trap.
after all.
It’s not like no one has tried before.
Use the beauty trap to please him.
However, he remained unmoved. The beauty couldn't even get close to him. If she took a few steps, she would be blocked by the dozen or so bodyguards standing nearby.
No matter what.
His business also included arms, and he had even snatched large orders from competitors on several occasions. It was only natural that someone would be concerned about his life.
Plus.
This isn't the only thing he's involved in.
There are too many things involved.
Therefore, the security around Ce has always been top-notch. He himself has also learned fighting and worked out, so it is not easy for ordinary people to get close to him.
Even when I went out on a date with Qiao Xi.
There will also be someone protecting you in secret.
Of course, Qiao Xi didn't notice this. He just felt that there was no need to let insignificant people affect Qiao Xi's mood. She was with him, and she went out so blatantly.
Qiao Xi was completely exposed.
The situation will naturally become dangerous.
Although Ce rarely appears in the public eye, his competitors all know each other, and there are many people who secretly observe and pay attention to his movements.
even.
Within two days of his vacation, someone already knew about it. Even though he had done a good job of keeping it secret, Qiao Xi always liked to drag him out to play with many people.
so.
No matter how strict he was, he still felt helpless about the girl's behavior.
Cover wherever you can.
Qiao Xi was unaware of the danger and her awareness of prevention was not as strong as his, so Ce could only send someone to protect her in secret.
only.
Every time the people he sent to protect her secretly wanted to secretly send Qiao Xi back home safely, they would always be thrown away by the car that Qiao Xi was riding in due to various coincidences or other things.
These people are hired by the policy.
They are basically from top security companies and have extensive experience in dealing with various emergencies.
So there is no such thing as an accident.
There is only one possibility, there may be someone around Qiao Xi who is better than his subordinates, so there is no need for him to send someone to protect Qiao Xi secretly.
When I heard the news.
Ce was just a little surprised, but soon felt relieved.
It’s okay as long as Qiao Xi is confident.
There was no need for him to do such unnecessary things. After all, he underestimated the girl and thought that Qiao Xi would be completely defenseless.
But think about it, after all, for other people.
Qiao Xi's status is not small. He is considered to be one of the top rich people. He is different from other circles like theirs that involve foreign forces.
Being around people like this.
It was reasonable for him to hire someone to protect his own safety. Ce was just a little surprised at the methods of the man hired by Qiao Xi. It was not easy for him to get rid of his men.
Regarding the movements around Qiao Xi.
It seems that he needs to pay a little attention as well.
Otherwise, someone might get the news and use any opportunity to get close to her.
After all, there were many people who had made enemies with him, and since they could not take revenge on him, those people turned their attention and thoughts to Qiao Xi.
Use Qiao Xi to threaten him.
Ce has no doubt that they are not capable of doing such a thing.
The girl next to him stuffed the teddy bear she was holding into the man's arms, and after eating some cotton candy, she strolled along the pedestrian street. Occasionally, if she saw any snacks for sale, she would buy some.
And she was thinking about her safety strategy.
I was caught off guard and the girl stuffed a teddy bear into my hand.
I could only take it subconsciously.
Holding this fluffy teddy bear, which still had some of the girl's body temperature, she walked into the store leisurely and began to select products.
The man couldn't help laughing and had to follow quickly.
Qiao Xi was looking at the crystal ball on the cargo shelf.
As if he remembered something.
She suddenly turned to look at Ce beside her.
"Wait a minute I want to go to the boutique and buy some small accessories or something. Do you want to?"
Hearing this, Ce turned his gaze towards her: "A small trinket?"
He doesn't seem to have any use for them.
"Yes, you can carry it with you as a souvenir to preserve your memories." Qiao Xi nodded and began to count on her fingers among the information she found.
Most of them are said.
A date should have some shared memories for the two of them. Although she and Ce have created enough memories, they don't have any little things with special meaning.
Best friends will give each other gifts.
Couples also give each other gifts. The gifts represent their thoughts and the meanings behind them are different.
She and Ce went to the handicraft workshop together.
Although she brought back all the things she had made, most of them were with Ce, and she only kept a small part for herself.
Think about it.
These items that are suitable as ornaments are different from small accessories.
"Understood."
Ce understood what she meant, and then nodded slightly: "No need to go to the boutique. I will send the commemorative items over another day."
Qiao Xi: “……?”
At this point, she still didn't quite understand what Ce meant.
until--
News came out from the circle of the top rich that a rare and precious raw stone was anonymously bought at an auction at a sky-high price, which made a group of second-generation rich people upset.
And after a while.
When Qiao Xi received the new necklace made from this raw stone, she seemed to understand what Ce meant.
It came as a gift.
There were also messages sent to her from unknown numbers that did not show their location.
"They are a pair, and they have special commemorative significance."
With pictures.
It was another one that matched the shape of her necklace perfectly.
