It was not until the man carried the girl into the elevator that the people snapped out of their trance. They gasped in awe. The girls tending the reception desk began gossiping if the man was a star or if he was one of the casts of Lady Luck. He sure had the looks.

Fu Qingye the Movie Star with the likes of a Greek God was probably the only one in the whole showbiz scene on equal footing with the man.

In the elevator, Shen Xi quickly lifted the coat over her head as it was smothering her. She hooked onto his neck and lifted her chin for a kiss on his lips. “Brother, are you going anywhere tonight?”

Li Yuan arched his brow. “Don’t you have the presidential suite? You don’t have a space for me?”

Shen Xi was put in a spot. “Um… Should we return to the front desk to book another room?”

Li Yuan leaned forward to nibble on her lips before firmly refusing, “No!”

Amid chuckles, Shen Xi made up her mind. “You sleep on the sofa.”

Hearing the ding from the elevator, Li Yuan gave it a rest and carried the girl to the doorway of her room. With downcast eyes, he uttered, “Room key.”

In an aha moment, Shen Xi put on a crying face and pointed at the door. She meekly replied, “Inside.”

She ran off in a hurry that she forgot her room key in her room.

Li Yuan let out a sigh but was reluctant to put her down. Since Kun Lun did not come with them, he turned to her. “Call the guest service.”

Biting her lips, Shen Xi was looking like a browbeaten wife. “My phone’s also in there.”

Li Yuan retorted, “My phone is in the pocket of my coat.”

Shen Xi felt about for a while before fishing out a phone. She gave him a push and moaned, “What’s the number of the guest service again?”

Li Yuan instructed her, “Call Kun Lun.”

Shen Xi unlocked the phone and found Kun Lun’s number.

The cast was all asleep at this hour as they had to get up early in the morning for filming. Lin Chan, on the other hand, came back late after having dinner with a friend. She noticed the couple in front of the presidential suite talking about the guest service’s number.

She was not one to poke into other people’s business, but it seemed the couple had locked themselves out of their room. This sort of thing happened often. Hence, she asked, “You can come to my room to call the guest service if you want.”

Those living in the presidential suite caused quite a stir with chefs airlifted all the way from Greece to prepare breakfast last week. Everyone in the production team knew about it and would often discuss during down-times about the person staying there.

Nevertheless, no one ever saw who it was. They soon threw the matter on the back burner after Hu Zheng, the director, said that it was not someone from the production team. Lin Chan had no idea whether the couple had been living there or just checked in, but this was the first time she saw the occupants of the presidential suite.

Picking up on the voice, Li Yuan took a side glance and nodded. He answered, “It’s fine, thank you.”

Lin Chan had only the view of their backs up until the man looked at her. His handsome face took her breath away and it took her a while to shrug off. She smiled. “Okay.”

She had never seen such a good-looking man. The man might be in his twenties, but those looks were enough to rule showbiz. Lin Chan was at a loss for adjectives to describe his good looks.

Shen Xi told Kun Lun to send the room key up before turning to let out a friendly smile at Lin Chan.

With her eyes wide open, Lin Chan gazed at Shen Xi in shock. “You’re… Ms. Cai Ni!”

What did she just see? Ms. Cai Ni and her boyfriend? Or husband?

That was not right.

Ms. Cai Ni was only a high schooler. Oh, wait. She was a college freshman now. Still, Ms. Cai Ni was only eighteen, so it was unlikely she was married. The only possible explanation was that he was her boyfriend.

So, the person staying in the presidential suite all this while was Ms. Cai Ni!

The chefs transported from Greece the other day was a surprise from Ms. Cai Ni’s boyfriend.

“Hello.” Shen Xi flashed a grin at her.

Lin Chan was a veteran actress with skills to show for, but her blunt mouth cost her a lot of opportunities in showbiz. This was the reason why she never made it big despite her years of acting.

“Hello, hello.” It was an emotional moment as she never imagined meeting Ms. Cai Ni here. No matter what, she had to engage in a conversation with Ms. Cai Ni. “Ms. Cai Ni, are you here to create looks for our cast?”

“Yes.” Shen Xi smiled as she got down from Li Yuan’s arms.

“Can I be cheeky and ask for an autograph? I have always been a fan of yours.” Lin Chan did put on airs in front of Shen Xi.

She believed that the stars, be it an A-lister or D-lister, would parade around their privilege in the presence of Ms. Cai Ni. After all, film stars like Gong Zhi and Li Jingran begged Ms. Cai Ni to style them.

Shen Xi gave a friendly nod.

Lin Chan retrieved a notebook and pen from her bag to pass them along. These were essential items for celebrities since there were times, they would come across fans who would ask for autographs. Lin Chan was more than happy to comply.

After signing her name, Shen Xi handed back the notebook to Lin Chan.

Meanwhile, Kun Lun had acquired the room key and respectfully swiped the card for the couple.

Unable to contain her excitement, Lin Chan bade Shen Xi farewell and watched her close the door before calming her nerves. Seeing Ms. Cai Ni in person for the first time, Lin Chan had to say that she was absolutely gorgeous. It was no wonder many in entertainment mentioned that the beautiful actresses would lose their job if Ms. Cai Ni were to step into showbiz.

Her face was easy on the eyes. She and her boyfriend were a match made in heaven.

Back in the presidential suite.

Shen Xi made a makeshift kitchen in the living room, having bought a multipurpose cooker that could steam, fry, boil, and grill. Despite this, instant noodles were all that she made most of the time, particularly the river snail rice noodles.

At this very moment, she was cooking up a ramen feast.

Opening the mini-fridge, she gazed at the noodle selection inside before looking over to ask, “Brother, do you want seafood or braised beef?”

Li Yuan came out of the washroom and was drying his hair with a towel. Rubbing his head as he walked, he gazed at the girl. “I thought your favorite is river snail rice noodles.”

Shen Xi replied, “I finished them. It can be stinky. I remember you don’t like it.”

The point was that there was none left. Only two packs of instant noodles remained in the fridge.

Li Yuan retorted, “Get Kun Lun to fetch some.”

Shen Xi shook her head and looked back at the man strolling her way. Feeling a lump in her throat, she wanted to cry. She dreamed of the day he could stand up, but now that he had, she was overwhelmed with a mix of emotions. Shen Xi was happy, excited, and sad.

“Braised beef then.” Li Yuan ordered his dinner. He then went over to check the mini-fridge, only to find carbonated beverages.. Letting out a sigh, he shut the door.
