Chapter 464: Suddenly Appearing
Finally, another day was over.Xia Xiyan dragged her utterly exhausted body back to the door of her room.
Beep—beep—
The door unlocked.
Pushing the door open, Xiyan turned to close it.
Before the keycard was even placed to power the room, someone suddenly pulled her into a tight embrace in the dark.
"Ah—!" Xiyan jumped in fright, her brain’s first reaction: A pervert!
Or possibly some sort of criminal.
Ahhhhh—someone actually lay in wait inside her room!
"Let go of me! Let go!" Xiyan screamed, attempting to drag herself toward the door to escape.
"Idiot!" A familiar voice came from behind, deep and low. "Take a good look at who I am!"
His voice was hoarse, magnetic.
So ridiculously pleasant to the ear.
Ou—Ou Jue?
Xiyan froze on the spot as if she were struck by lightning, incredulously turning her head to look.
True to form, warm light from the door left ajar spilled into the room, outlining that sharply defined face, angular features steeped in shadow.
Who else but Ou Jue?
Xiyan was both thrilled and furious, shoving at him. "What are you doing?! You scared me so much I nearly had a heart attack, do you know that?!"
Just then, Lu Sisi across the hall heard the commotion and opened her door to take a look.
Xiyan gasped and quickly stepped in front of Ou Jue, slamming the door shut in an instant!
Before Lu Sisi could make out anything, Xiyan’s door was already firmly closed.
Just barely, she saw only a blurry silhouette.
Summer dared to bring a wild man back to her room from outside, huh?!
-
Meanwhile, after swiftly shutting the door, Xiyan let out a long sigh of relief.
Aish! Why does this feel so thrilling somehow?!
As she regulated her breathing, Xiyan lifted her gaze to look at this overly self-assured man.
"Why are you here?!"
The filming location was three hours away from City B by car.
"This young master came to see his own woman—is that not allowed?" Ou Jue pinched her cheek.
He wouldn’t tell this fool that it was all because of her offhand "I miss you."
Even if he had to climb mountains and cross rivers, he would show up in front of her.
"Oh my god, am I dreaming?!" Xiyan threw herself into his arms, raising her head to look at his resolute jawline.
This embrace felt so real, her heart melting into a sugary haze.
Unbelievable! He didn’t even give me a heads-up—
Suddenly here, just like that!
Ou Jue’s husky voice spoke, "What do you think?"
Xiyan was overjoyed.
Ou Jue let her go, turning to rummage through her things for pajamas. "Go take a bath first."
Oh goodness, why did the atmosphere turn weird all of a sudden?!
"Wh—Why are you telling me to shower as soon as we meet?!"
Though she verbally resisted, her body quite honestly reached for her pajamas...
Ou Jue’s dark eyes fixed unwaveringly on Xiyan. Parting his thin lips, he matter-of-factly uttered two words, "Sleep together."
Xiyan stared in shock. "Sleep together?"
"Mm." Ou Jue leaned in, his thin, sexy lips wickedly brushing against her ear as his voice dropped even lower, "Together."
Xiyan: !!!
Don’t tell me this boss isn’t planning to leave tonight?
Xiyan crossed her arms in front of herself, face filled with horror. "You’re not seriously sleeping in my room tonight, are you??"
"Not allowed?"
"Of course not! What if someone finds out?"
"As long as you, idiot, don’t make too much noise, no one will find out."
"Hey, what are you even talking about?!"
Ou Jue laughed lowly, "I meant snoring sounds. What else did you think I meant?"
"Heh heh heh..." Xiyan feigned laughter, inwardly cursing him.
Can you go a single day without messing with me? Is that so hard?!!
For the record, I don’t even snore when I sleep!
After a long, tiring day, her whole body felt sticky and gross.
Xiyan didn’t resist, quickly taking a bath.
She changed into her pajamas and stepped out, her hair still damp.
Freshly showered, her cheeks carried a faint blush, and her eyes seemed almost misty.
Ou Jue swallowed with a subtle bob of his throat, lips lifting as his raspy voice called, "Come here."
"You’re seriously not planning to leave tonight?"
Ou Jue’s handsome face shifted instantly, "What, are you very keen on me leaving?"
Ungrateful woman.
Xiyan immediately shook her head.
"Hurry up and come over."
"No—please don’t!" Xiyan protested, adopting a resolutely innocent stance.
The next second, she realized—
Ou Jue had pulled out the hotel’s hair dryer.
Xiyan: ??????
Ou Jue’s quiet gaze flicked toward her. "What’s impossible about blow-drying your hair?"
It—was—about—this—after—all.
Feeling mortified, Xiyan stepped forward to sit beside Ou Jue.
The hair dryer buzzed gently.
Ou Jue’s long fingers softly lifted her wet strands of hair, his touches uncharacteristically tender.
Xiyan closed her eyes, "I rarely use a hair dryer—I usually let it air dry."
Ou Jue’s movements remained delicate, but his expression stayed impassive. "So you’re telling me this is why water has seeped into your brain?"
"..." What’s seeped into your brain is nonsense! Rude.
Before long, when her hair was half-dry, Ou Jue turned off the dryer.
Xiyan tilted her head back to look up at him.
Why is it that this guy still looks so impossibly handsome from this angle?
He’s literally attractive in all 360 degrees without a single bad angle.
-
Meanwhile.
Lu Sisi pressed her ear against the door to Xiyan’s room like a thief, straining to eavesdrop.
She vaguely heard suggestive noises coming from inside.
Standing upright, her face filled with disdain.
Heh, she knew this Summer wasn’t so simple.
See? Clearly, she’s been taken care of by someone!
The person holed up in her room—the culprit—had to be some old, overweight man!
Tch.
Clicking her tongue distastefully, Lu Sisi returned to her room, immediately dialing her go-to contact, Qiao Qianmo.
Qiao Qianmo was currently helping Ou Jue’s mom in the kitchen, preparing sweets for Luoluo.
At that moment, her phone rang.
Glancing at the caller display, Qianmo stepped aside to answer, "Hello?"
Back in her own room, Lu Sisi enthusiastically reported what she had witnessed. "Momo, big discovery!"
Qianmo smirked.
She couldn’t care less about this web drama, **That’s Youth.**
But using Lu Sisi to keep an eye on Summer’s every move in the filming crew? A downright brilliant decision.
Her tone casual, she asked, "What is it?"
"As we speak, Summer is inside her room secretly meeting with an old man!"
"Old man?" Qianmo raised a brow slightly.
"Exactly! I saw it myself—aside from her, there’s definitely a man in her room! Not only that, I heard moaning sounds when I pressed my ear to the door! This woman is downright shameless, isn’t she? This desperate craving for men is just disgusting. I’d bet my life that the guy is old and ugly!" Lu Sisi rambled cheerfully. "If you really can’t stand Summer anymore, why not tip off a paparazzo to catch her in the act unprepared?"
Once rumors spread about her being "kept" by some old man, how could she ever make it in the industry again?
As Lu Sisi spoke, Qianmo’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
Lu Sisi wasn’t aware of the truth, but Qianmo knew perfectly well—Xia Xiyan’s boyfriend was none other than Ou Jue!
Which meant—the person Xiyan was secretly meeting at this hour could only be Ou Jue!
Damn it!
The filming location was incredibly remote, requiring six to seven hours round trip.
According to Auntie, Ou Jue had an important international meeting scheduled for nine the next morning.
And yet, despite all of that, he still made the trip to see Xiyan?
Just to spend a few hours with her?
Insane!
Lu Sisi, still angling for credit, asked, "Momo, should we leak some info so the paparazzi can come for the show? I think..."
"What’s there to show?!" Qianmo interrupted in annoyance.
If paparazzi were to discover that the man visiting Xiyan’s room late at night was the president of DT Group...
It wouldn’t be a scandal, it’d be the ultimate flex, wouldn’t it?!
