Chapter 1545: Chapter 1546: Could it be waiting for Mr. Li
"The taste is not bad." She put down the cup and said happily.
The assistant breathed a sigh of relief, "Thatâs good. I couldnât find a coffee machine in the lounge, so I had to brew a cup using the available coffee powder. I was worried you wouldnât be used to this instant coffee."
Chu Xi didnât know she was drinking instant coffee and frowned disdainfully. But she was in a good mood and wasnât upset about accidentally drinking cheap coffee. She turned to ask, "I told you to wait at the door. Havenât they arrived yet?"
The assistant quickly replied, "You told me to wait outside, but I havenât seen the person you mentioned."
"How could that be? They should have been here by now." Chu Xiâs expression remained calm as she looked up, "Could it be that you stepped away and missed them?"
The assistant quickly waved his hand to explain, "Impossible. Before I left to inquire about the news, I instructed others to wait at the door. If Madame Chu arrives, I would definitely know immediately and wouldnât miss it!"
Chu Xiâs previously sunny demeanor gradually darkened as she picked up her phone to check the time. Itâs been over an hour since she called. It takes at most thirty minutes to drive from Chu Garden to here, even with traffic, she should have arrived.
She got up from the chair, no longer interested in drinking coffee, and holding her phone, said to the assistant, "Iâll wait outside myself."
The assistant was startled, "Thatâs not really a good idea. There are reporters everywhere outside. If they spot you, theyâll definitely want an interview, which might cause unnecessary commotion."
However, Chu Xi ignored his advice and insisted on going out to wait.
The assistant had no choice but to follow, while messaging Levin to coordinate the deployment of a few security personnel.
The entrance of KT Entertainment was crowded with media vehicles. The screening event had already started, and most of the media people were inside, so there werenât many people at the entrance.
Chu Xi, in her red V-neck lace dress, was exceptionally eye-catching among the crowd with her fair skin and exquisite makeup.
This drew frequent glances from the receptionist girl.
"Look, look at that pearl necklace on her neck. Itâs so beautiful. The pearls are huge and all in dark shades. I used to think only women in their forties or fifties would wear pearls, but it turns out young people can wear them just as well, with such elegance!"
"That depends on who wears them. Try putting a pearl necklace on an ordinary person and see how ugly it looks."
"I donât think it matters whoâs wearing it. That pearl necklace looks extremely expensive; regular people canât afford it. With jewelry of this caliber, anyone wearing it looks good. If I wore it, Iâd look elegant too. But unfortunately, I canât afford it."
"You guys keep looking at pearl necklaces you canât afford. Am I the only one curious about why sheâs out here?"
"Exactly. The screening event seems to have started; the media and Levinâs CEO are all inside, along with the actors. Why is she outside?"
"Seems like sheâs waiting for someone. Donât know who."
"Could she be waiting for Mr. Li?"
"No way, right?"
"I saw gossip online before saying Chu Xi and Mr. Li once stayed in Lin City for a week, and they were photographed entering and leaving a hotel together. They might be secretly dating."
"Thatâs impossible. What about Rong Yan? Isnât she Mr. Liâs girlfriend? Mr. Li has even publicly acknowledged their relationship on social media."
"Hey! Rich peopleâs relationships are always complicated. Theyâre not married, and if he dates another woman in private, thatâs just how it is. Rong Yan probably knows. Sheâs smart enough to turn a blind eye. Who would be silly enough to actually stir trouble with a sugar daddy?"
