Chi Shuyan was a decisive person. No matter what Qi Hao asked, she didn’t stay any longer. She took the makeup team’s car and had them send her to where she had arranged to meet Xie Mingxuan.

After getting out of the car, Chi Shuyan politely thanked the team, and told them that they could leave first.

Some of them bore the Qi family and Chi Shuyan’s identity in mind, and wanted to wait with her, but Chi Shuyan declined. It was better not to trouble them.

However, her outfit was too eye-catching. In a normal party, she would indeed look stunning in this outfit, but on the streets, this exquisite makeup and high-end gown looked strange and very out of place no matter how one looked at it, making people look at her like she was a monkey.

Fortunately, Xie Mingxuan’s car arrived after Chi Shuyan waited for a few minutes.

!!

Xie Mingxuan got out of the car and was about to call her on the phone, when Chi Shuyan spotted him and went over to greet him. “Film Emperor Xie!”

Xie Mingxuan didn’t recognize Chi Shuyan at all when she greeted him. His first thought was that not only was this woman fair, she was also stunningly beautiful.

When he recognized her familiar voice and took a serious look, he was stunned. He gaped slightly and his eyes flashed with admiration and disbelief.

Xie Mingxuan had a cold personality. He had seen all sorts of beautiful women in the entertainment industry. However, looking at the stunning Master Chi in front of him, Xie Mingxuan couldn’t calm down for a moment, and he was dumbstruck.

For the first time, he realized that Master Chi was extraordinarily good-looking; the more he looked at her, the better she looked. He didn’t know if it was because Chi Shuyan’s outfit was too beautiful and alluring, but she looked too different. She had shed all traces of immaturity and didn’t look like an 18- or 19-year-old girl at all.

Xie Mingxuan’s cheeks couldn’t help but turn red and his heart raced. He still remembered that not only was this young lady in front of him the extraordinary Master Chi, she also had a partner. Moreover, that partner had an extraordinary identity. Only then did Xie Mingxuan immediately quash any thoughts that he shouldn’t have. He hurriedly spoke, but his tone was uncharacteristically nervous, and he stuttered, “Master… Master Chi! Is… is it really you?”

Seeing Xie Mingxuan stammer when he spoke to her, Chi Shuyan didn’t think much of it. She just thought that her appearance had changed so much that he didn’t recognize her for a moment. However, when she thought of her flashy outfit, Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but ask, “Film Emperor Xie, is it appropriate for me to show up in this outfit?”

To be honest, Chi Shuyan had no other choice. She was prepared to be thick-skinned and go like this; the sooner she showed up, the sooner she could leave.

Xie Mingxuan didn’t know what she was thinking. He immediately nodded and said that it was fine. It was just that she was too… beautiful. In the entertainment circle, men and women alike liked to make comparisons, especially women. It could be said that Master Chi’s outfit wasn’t exaggerated, and her makeup was good. It was just that she was too good-looking, so he was afraid she would draw people’s envy and ire.

But thinking about it, she wasn’t in the entertainment industry, so it wasn’t a big deal to make people in the circle jealous. Xie Mingxuan stopped worrying. Instead, he felt that her outfit was very suitable and beautiful. He said firmly, “It’s fine!” After a pause, he couldn’t help but tease, “Master Chi, it’s a pity you’re not in our circle, given your looks!”

In her two lifetimes, Chi Shuyan had only ever thought about cultivating, and had never thought about becoming a celebrity at all. Celebrities looked grand on the surface, but they didn’t have the slightest bit of freedom, let alone those who could make it big. Chi Shuyan didn’t take Xie Mingxuan’s words seriously. She curled her lip and replied generously, “You flatter me! With my personality, I can only be a Celestial Master who drifts along and waits for death!”

Xie Mingxuan couldn’t help but laugh. Almost every man and woman who passed by looked in his direction.

Although Xie Mingxuan was an actor, he knew very well that he was already past his prime, and not many people would recognize him. Naturally, these gazes weren’t for him, but for Master Chi in front of him.

Xie Mingxuan wasn’t surprised. It would have been fine if Master Chi hadn’t dressed up, but she was stunningly beautiful.

She was too attractive.

He couldn’t help but take a few more looks, before he immediately had her get into the car.

Chi Shuyan nodded and immediately opened the car door and got in. Speaking of which, she was very sensitive to other people’s gazes and was quite thick-skinned, but she still felt a little embarrassed being looked at like a monkey by the people on the streets.

When Chi Shuyan turned around and got into the car, Xie Mingxuan’s eyes fell on the fair skin of her back. He took a deep breath before getting into the driver’s seat.

Then, he drove to Director Li’s film premiere.

By the time they arrived at the film premiere, almost everyone was already on the red carpet. The ones in front and behind were all heavyweights. Although Xie Mingxuan was the main lead of the film, he wasn’t famous, so he walked in the middle.

There was a wall for autographs not far from the red carpet, with two hosts next to it. After the celebrities walked down the red carpet and signed their names on the wall, someone led them into the hall.

Chi Shuyan had once watched celebrities walk the red carpet on TV. It was a different feeling seeing it with her own eyes. In addition, she saw that every female celebrity was dressed in a more exaggerated and eye-catching style than she was, and she heaved a sigh of relief.

“Nervous?” Xie Mingxuan suddenly asked.

Chi Shuyan shook her head indifferently. “It’s fine!” After all, she had lived two lifetimes. Besides, she wasn’t interested in the entertainment industry. It was just a little out of the ordinary, and she wasn’t nervous.

After Xie Mingxuan asked the question, it wasn’t long before it was their turn to enter. The two walked the red carpet together. It was probably because Chi Shuyan was an unfamiliar face, and Xie Mingxuan wasn’t popular, so the two hosts didn’t pay much attention to them.

Both of them were in a good mood and heaved sighs of relief before they immediately entered the venue.

When the two entered the hall, Chi Shuyan saw Director Li and the main actors of the film mingling. Seeing Director Li’s respectful expression, Chi Shuyan guessed that he was speaking to someone with some status.

Xie Mingxuan initially wanted to take her to Director Li, but Chi Shuyan wasn’t someone who liked to flaunt herself. She shook her head and said, “Don’t, let Director Li do his thing. I can take care of myself!” After a pause, she remembered that people in the industry relied on this kind of gathering to build connections. The main actors were moving around with Director Li, and Chi Shuyan didn’t want to hinder Xie Mingxuan’s future prospects, so she hurriedly told him to ignore her and to go join Director Li’s group and mingle.

Xie Mingxuan wanted to say something, but seeing her firm attitude, he gave in. Before he went over, however, he suddenly said, “By the way, Master Chi, wait a little longer. The highlight of tonight is three-time winner Film Emperor Ruan. You’ll see him later. When the time comes, I’ll take you to ask for his autograph!”
