Chapter 454: Chapter 454

Zhong Xinran had a face full of excitement, she didn’t expect to encounter Shen Dang here.

The man’s tall figure was like a majestic mountain, his presence extremely powerful, giving one a sense of oppression.

His handsome face seemed like that of a deity, lofty and unreachable.

Upon seeing him, Zhong Xinran’s gaze was deeply captivated.

Was like a poison, truly irresistible, unforgettable at a glance.

Shen Dang did not look sideways, moving swiftly, his gaze not even sweeping to the side, only stopping when he heard a voice.

Shen Dang narrowed his eyes slightly, recognizing the person in front of him, his beautiful brows and eyes emitting a cold indifference.

The man was very aloof, yet Zhong Xinran did not lessen her enthusiasm, "I am Zhong Xinran, a trainee from ’Dream Chasing Camp 2,’ President Shen, we have met before at the film festival and at your company."

She introduced herself confidently.

Encountering Shen Dang here, Zhong Xinran felt it was fate.

Perhaps the only opportunity.

Shen Dang remained indifferent, quite distant, "Oh, I don’t remember."

Zhong Xinran’s smile stiffened.

Her presence wasn’t that weak, was it?

Seeing Shen Dang step forward, Zhong Xinran hurried up and blocked him.

"President Shen, please wait a moment." Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs No(ᴠ)ᴇlFire.nᴇt

Shen Dang’s eyes darkened for an instant, even showing impatience, "You have more to say?"

"I have some things I want to say to you."

Controlled excitement thrummed within Zhong Xinran.

Online rumors about Shen Dang were rare; he wasn’t a celebrity but was quite famous in the financial sector, and only after his relationship with Qiao Xi was revealed did the external speculations and guesses increase.

To others, he was a highly capable Overbearing Boss, existing like a mogul.

Such a person was hard to associate with for ordinary people, his worth and family background making him a figure one looked up to.

Beneath these merits, his appearance wasn’t worth mentioning, yet his beauty made others feel inferior.

Seeing the real him, it was hard not to be moved.

Even if she couldn’t openly be with him, even being his secret lover, Zhong Xinran was willing.

As long as she could be linked to him, no matter what the relationship.

Shen Dang raised his brow, the coldness in his eyes diminishing slightly as if intrigued, "Oh? What is it?"

Zhong Xinran watched his casually raised eyebrow, as if her heart was hooked by him.

Her heart even "thumped" several times.

His pause seemed to give Zhong Xinran hope and courage, she raised a smiling face, "President Shen, I really admire you, I’ve liked you since the first time I saw you. I know you and Teacher Qiao are in a good relationship. I don’t mind, I don’t want anything, I just want to quietly be by your side."

A beautiful woman kneeling before you, any other man would not resist this temptation.

And she spoke so beautifully, desiring nothing, such a selfless demeanor moved people.

Seeing Shen Dang say nothing, an inscrutable expression on his face, Zhong Xinran continued, "President Shen, I’m sincere."

A hint of mockery appeared in Shen Dang’s eyes, a slight lascivious smile on his face.

"Sincere!" Zhong Xinran nodded vigorously, "President Shen, I have no regrets, I really just want to be by your side."

Once she had this man in her hands, what couldn’t she get later?

Of course, Zhong Xinran was deluding herself.

She had filthy thoughts, self-righteous, assuming others were the same, always thinking that by beckoning men, they would come to her.

Sadly, she was ultimately too naive.

Shen Dang let out a light chuckle, asking disinterestedly, "You are Zhong Xinran, right?"

If it were Qiao Xi saying this, Shen Dang would be delighted, however hearing it from another woman only disgusted him.

Later, he must complain to Xixi for comfort.

Seeing Shen Dang respond, Zhong Xinran grew more excited, "Yes! I am Zhong Xinran, ’admire’ as in Xin, ’indeed’ as in Ran."

Shen Dang must have taken an interest in her, otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked so specifically about her name.

Men, especially men like Shen Dang, how could they only love one woman?

How does Qiao Xi’s beauty matter?

There are thousands of beautiful women in the world.

Zhong Xinran was still lost in her fantasies when she heard Shen Dang coldly say, "I will remember you, I will have someone contact you."

Zhong Xinran thought she had achieved her goal, suppressing the joy and excitement in her heart, "Actually, there’s no need for that trouble, President Shen, you can contact me privately, that way our relationship won’t be known by anyone."

If only she could directly add him on WeChat.

Shen Dang pulled at his lip corner, his smile loose and chilling, "Procedures still have to be followed, Miss Zhong, just wait."

Zhong Xinran pinched her palm hard, pain confirming that all of this was real.

She nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I’ll wait for President Shen, I’m right here anyway."

Shen Dang glanced at her, "Hmm."

Zhong Xinran almost laughed out loud, her eyes filled with selfish greed as she watched Shen Dang walk away.

Shen Dang returned to the car and instructed Assistant Gao to head back to IDC Capital before smoothly calling Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi was on a break during an event, about to go to the restroom, when Bei Bei suddenly rushed over with a phone.

Seeing Bei Bei’s anxious look, Qiao Xi frowned and asked, "What happened? What’s the matter?"

"Nothing, nothing," Bei Bei shook her head, grinning, "It’s Boss Shen calling you."

Just a call from Shen Dang, why was she so excited?

Bei Bei handed over the phone, Qiao Xi took it, answering the call while heading to the restroom, "Hello."

"Not yet," Qiao Xi spoke calmly, "The event resumes in fifteen minutes."

"Then we have time to chat."

"I met someone at the filming site of ’Dream Chasing Camp.’"

Hearing him pause, Qiao Xi continued to ask, "Then?"

"Then she said she wants to be by my side, without regrets, and she doesn’t mind your presence."

Shen Dang pulled at his mouth corner, silently mocking.

Qiao Xi couldn’t see his face, only hearing his languid tone, devoid of any other emotions.

Seducing women again.

Qiao Xi’s brows tightened.

"Xixi, what do you think I should do?"

Qiao Xi hummed softly, nonchalantly questioning back, "Oh? What does Boss Shen plan to do?"

She tossed the question back.

"Boss Shen certainly has to stay loyal to his girlfriend, with you, no other woman can catch my eye."

His voice lazy, treating this matter as a casual conversation with Qiao Xi.

Since he spoke out, he wasn’t afraid of Qiao Xi overthinking.

"Slick talker." Hearing this, Qiao Xi couldn’t help but laugh, quickly composing herself, "Who is that person?"
