BXBX NOVEL Chapter 84
Qin Xian\'s eyes widened, his dark lashes trembling slightly. The imposing aura of a man in a high position vanished completely. Those eyes, dark as night yet sparkling with hidden stars, stared blankly, offering no resistance as he looked at the person before him helplessly.
In that moment, Qin Xian resembled a male spirit who had just attained human form - pure yet alluring, exuding an indescribable attraction.
But this version of Qin Xian only caught Ji Fei\'s attention for a second. Because in the next moment, the drama unfolded right before them.
Faced with such a spectacle, who cared about admiring a handsome man?
Ji Fei excitedly peeked through the door crack, tilting her head for a better view. In her eagerness, she pressed even closer to Qin Xian, their bodies almost flush against each other.
Qin Xian\'s pupils constricted. He could smell the mixture of feminine perfume and alcohol emanating from Ji Fei, causing an unnatural flush to rise on his cheeks.
Ji Fei was wearing a comfortable, form-fitting athletic outfit today. Thanks to her excellent proportions, even leaning against Qin Xian\'s chest, her curves appeared graceful and sensual. Through just a dress shirt, he could feel the warmth radiating from her body.
That warmth made Qin Xian feel feverish.
Feeling extremely self-conscious, he realized that one of his arms had somehow ended up circling Ji Fei\'s waist. He stiffened even more.
Especially from Qin Xian\'s perspective, his gaze could trace from Ji Fei\'s long, fair neck down her beautiful shoulders and back, narrowing to an unseen waistline where his arm rested.
Beyond his arm was another curve.
Qin Xian awkwardly averted his gaze and lowered his arm. He tried to turn his head away from Ji Fei\'s hand pressed against his lips, but she was too focused on peeking and didn\'t loosen her grip. In the end, Qin Xian could only resign himself to Ji Fei\'s antics.
It wasn\'t until this moment that Qin Xian realized from Ji Fei\'s excited and chaotic thoughts why they had come here together. It wasn\'t really to find some young hunk with washboard abs, but to join in the excitement and hear some gossip.
Just then, a classical beauty with jet-black hair and snow-white skin, wearing a cheongsam and white high heels, rushed in.
[So this is Xu Meng? She really is beautiful. A second-tier starlet. I\'ve seen her in dramas before. Her looks are very suitable for playing those weak, pitiful characters who get bullied and are helpless. So she has decent public support, and even when she dated Yang Hong, she wasn\'t attacked by his fans. I didn\'t expect her to look like this in real life too.]
Xu Meng\'s eyes were red and puffy. She looked lost and helpless, as if she might burst into tears at any moment. Her steps slowed as she began to turn in circles.
Soon, there was a loud sound of a door opening.
Xu Meng turned around in shock, like a startled little white rabbit. "You... how can you come in here? This is the ladies\' room."
As the other person\'s footsteps drew closer, Xu Meng kept backing up until she hit the wall.
[Wait a minute... Although this scene is quite entertaining, I really want to point out - if you have time to back away, if you really wanted to hide, why not rush into a toilet stall? You can lock the door there!]
Xu Meng seemed unable to think straight as a tall man cornered her.
It was none other than Sun Mo, whom fans claimed had the face of a domineering immortal lord who ruled over three realms.
Sun Mo\'s face was grim, his eyes slightly red as he stared at Xu Meng without saying a word.
[This atmosphere... It\'s so damn cliché, like a cheesy idol drama! You could set up a camera and start filming right now. When exes meet, they either go red-eyed or red-faced!]
Seeing Ji Fei\'s excited expression, Qin Xian wanted to show disdain but couldn\'t muster the appropriate expression. He could only silently grumble in his heart.
They might be acting out a cliché idol drama, but what about us hiding by the toilet, peeping and eavesdropping?
Are we in some kind of spy thriller?
[Wait, is there no one else? ]
Qin Xian: Did you expect a meeting to be held in the bathroom?
[This doesn\'t seem right. Where\'s the current boyfriend and the manager? How could they let these two come out alone? Aren\'t they worried something might happen? Let me see...]
Hearing this, Qin Xian also found it strange. What kind of boyfriend would be so careless?
[Huh? Yang Hong is taking care of Pei Mingxuan? What\'s going on?]
[I see now. Before Pei Mingxuan arrived, Sun Mo remained silent in the face of Yang Hong\'s enthusiasm and Xu Meng\'s obvious reluctance. He wouldn\'t even look at Xu Meng. Come on, if you\'re so unwilling, why did you come here in the first place?]
Qin Xian\'s mouth twitched, unable to resist feeling annoyed: Yes, if you\'re unwilling, why come? Causing their entire family to mobilize.
[Yang Hong kept trying to persuade them to collaborate. Xu Meng seemed to want to refuse in front of Yang Hong but couldn\'t bring herself to do it, until Pei Mingxuan arrived.]
[Damn, what was Yang Hong thinking? He was the one who sent the location information to Pei Mingxuan? Brother, are you setting up a show to watch?]
[As a result, before Pei Mingxuan could say anything, Xu Meng, with red eyes, seemed to gather her courage and expressed her unwillingness to participate in the performance.]
[Only then did Pei Mingxuan realize what an outrageous proposal Yang Hong had made, and immediately said it was inappropriate.]
[And Sun Mo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "I\'ll listen to Mingxuan." He even directly humiliated Xu Meng by saying: "She\'s not qualified to stand beside me."]
[OMG! That was the exact line Xu Meng said when she broke up with Sun Mo back then! This is explosive!]
[Xu Meng trembled all over, her eyes brimming with tears from the humiliation.]
[But Yang Hong didn\'t seem to care, only saying that the company was quite satisfied with this proposal. After all, as an unofficially announced couple, they naturally brought traffic. To compete with the current popularity of top celebrities, they needed to generate buzz.]
[However, Pei Mingxuan still firmly refused. Compared to the traffic it might bring, the consequences would be unpredictable if their past relationship was discovered.]
[Not to mention that over the past five years, every time Sun Mo heard news related to Xu Meng, he would become moody. While he didn\'t exactly lose control of his emotions, he would still use his position to secretly pressure and sabotage Xu Meng.]
[Mingxuan was helpless about his vengeful behavior, feeling it was a hidden danger, so she didn\'t want the two of them to interact on stage.]
As Qin Xian listened, he thought: This Pei Mingxuan is an excellent manager who can analyze pros and cons.
It\'s a pity that she and Sun Mo had supported each other through difficult times from the very beginning, building an uncommon bond.
Otherwise, Qin Xian would have considered poaching Pei Mingxuan to replace Gao Haozhao in looking after Ji Fei.
[Holy crap!!!! Yang Hong must be doing this on purpose, right? He actually said there was another goal in doing this - to propose to Xu Meng on stage if they win the competition. Wait, how are you so sure you\'ll win?]
[No, the key point is, you\'re talking about proposing on stage with her ex-boyfriend right there!]
[Brother, have you always been this brave?]
[I really want to see Sun Mo\'s frozen expression and Xu Meng\'s pale face right now. It must be quite a sight. So is that why they were so agitated and came out here? Let me see...]
