Chapter 694: Chapter 694

Playing the lovesick fool, who can’t do that? It’s just moving your lips, and He Jinxia knows the drill all too well.

She sighed softly, adopting the melancholy visage of Xishi, and said with a lament, "There’s no helping it, Brother Sheng Yan doesn’t like to make a spectacle. I like him, and I can only dare to love him in secret."

Taking a few steps forward, she sighed again, "If love is meant to last, it doesn’t rest on each and every moment, when even lovers must part, my ability to stay by his side silently, I am not his lover but better than a lover."

Shaking her head, she uttered her third sigh, "Seeing that you’re all seasoned in the industry, I beg of you, please don’t spread this word. Brother Sheng Yan is already so busy with filming every day, I don’t want to cause him any trouble."

Bai Bing’s expression changed slightly, her voice somewhat cold, "I won’t let it slip."

She had long considered Sheng Yan as something in her pocket; the thought of other female celebrities getting tangled with him in scandalous headlines was intolerable, even if untrue, she found it utterly repulsive!

She didn’t want any woman to tarnish him!

Xie Jiahui had long known that He Jinxia also liked Sheng Yan but did not say much, only glanced over with curious eyes, not quite understanding why He Jinxia was changing her strategy at this late stage.

At first, He Jinxia only listened to their quarrel without much interjection, and Xie Jiahui even thought that Jinxia intended to infiltrate the "enemy’s" camp as a spy!

This dinner was bound to leave everyone in high spirits.

He Jinxia had the company of two beautiful women while having an attractive man within her line of sight. A 360°, no-dead-angle, all-around observation allowed her to capture every move and subtle glance, as exquisite as a painting.

She had always known Sheng Yan was handsome, but for a man to be such a feast for the eyes took real talent.

It had been a long time since she had had the opportunity to observe Sheng Yan closely, so she decided to watch to her heart’s content this time.

After the dinner, the celebrities were ferried back to the hotel by their drivers.

Xie Jiahui, using her connections, managed to get her room number to be next to He Jinxia’s, and they returned together, arm in arm.

The lengthy corridor was carpeted with a soft, Persian blue pile adorned with golden floral patterns, harmonizing with the bright yellow walls.

Xie Jiahui had drunk a bit at the party and was now in a state of inebriation.

With one arm boldly around Jinxia and the other hand wildly gesturing in the air as if she were a general marching to battle, her legs occasionally kicking forward, she radiated the aura of someone about to perform a "Look at my Erlang’s legs" stance.

Not only was she a flurry of movements, but she also burst out with sentences that were utterly baffling, such as what she said just now—

"Why did you abandon me!"

He Jinxia touched her head expressionlessly, "I’m here, I didn’t abandon you."

Staggering forward a few steps, Xie Jiahui blurted out another line, "Do you know how much I love you!"

He Jinxia, as always, remained expressionless, "I know."

Xie Jiahui, "Knowing this, you still leave me! Wuu! You heartless man!"

She strongly suspected that Xie Jiahui must have had a tragic love story, unknown to the world and sorrowful as a river in reverse.

Otherwise, why would she talk about such things after getting drunk!

Especially when Xie Jiahui was loudly questioning her, a door in the corridor opened, and a man and a woman stepped out, both watching her with curiosity.

He Jinxia pressed down on the hat on her forehead to hide her face and supported Xie Jiahui as they walked past. Behind them, they could faintly hear the conversation of the people behind—

"Could these two be lovers? Foreign countries really are so open-minded!"

A surge of aging blood seemed to choke in her heart; she wanted to punch someone!

Finally, after an effort as tremendous as "moving mountains and draining seas," they reached their room. With a "beep," the door opened, and He Jinxia helped Xie Jiahui inside, taking off her clothes and socks.

Looking at Xie Jiahui, who slept like a dead pig, she shook her head and sighed, "I’ve never even tended to my mother ; you must have saved a city in your past life!"

Suddenly, a soft laugh was heard. He Jinxia got a fright and shivered, looking back immediately. She saw Sheng Yan, wearing a mask, his eyes dark and somewhat mocking as he looked at her.

He was playing with a keycard in his hand, his fingers as white as jade.

He Jinxia shrank her neck slightly, feeling an overwhelming intuition of threat, and asked softly, "What are you doing here?"

Sheng Yan spoke indifferently, "Before coming, I asked your agent for your room number. After getting here, I went ahead and booked a room around yours. She’s been shouting while walking; the soundproofing of the rooms couldn’t keep it out, so when I heard it, I came out to have a look."

He Jinxia "Oh"ed, continued to ask a few questions, deliberately stalling for time, dilly-dallying and unwilling to leave.

Sheng Yan seemed to see through her intent at a glance, watching her with an almost amused look as he said in a deep voice:

"When I came over, I saw several doors open, probably because they are checking out. They’ll pass by this corridor. Do you think they might be curious enough to glance at the man standing at the door, say someone like me?"

He Jinxia was speechless, choked by the blatant threat!

To tell the truth, it didn’t matter much if she was exposed, but she feared the consequences if Sheng Yan was exposed. If people with ulterior motives started snooping, it would be hard to keep their relationship a secret.

She shuffled over to him, and once she reached Sheng Yan’s side, he held her hand tightly and whispered in her ear, "Are you so unhappy to see me, as if you’re disappointed?"

He Jinxia looked up at him in a pleasing manner, her round phoenix eyes like a well-polished, water-soaked piece of fine jade, and she asked cautiously, "Can we just chat under the quilt?"

Sheng Yan chuckled lightly and nibbled at her ear, "No."

He Jinxia was once again left speechless; she knew it would end up !

With a "bang," the door closed, her hand was gripped tight by Sheng Yan, and in a flurry of movement, they reached a room.

Swipe card—open the door—close the door—pick up—lay down on the bed; a series of actions performed fluidly, all in just a few seconds!!

The next day, He Jinxia once again found that a man’s words can’t be trusted.

He Jinxia laid there, looking up at the ceiling with great sadness, thinking that next time she definitely couldn’t let Sheng Yan have his way so easily.

Sheng Yan simply wouldn’t let her sleep, and now that she was awake, her head felt dizzy.

After a hasty tidying up, with the pampering and care from her loving boyfriend who couldn’t resist wanting to carry her out, a lot of He Jinxia’s irritation dissolved, and she managed to reach the promotional spot for the crew at the very last minute of the appointed time.
