In a room at the Haojiang Hotel, Ning Xiaoyue and her assistant were sitting inside. By then, they had been locked in there for two days. Suddenly, the room door was opened from the outside.
The man who had been watching over them walked in and said, "Miss Ning, Master Wei's birthday party is about to start. You can go to the venue now. I'll take you there."
Ning Xiaoyue warily asked, "What does he want?"
The man replied, "That's not my business. I just have to take you over there. Please proceed."
If it had been before, Ning Xiaoyue might have been at a loss, but ever since she t Lin Fan last night, she wasn't afraid anymore. She knew that no matter what happened next, Brother Fan wouldn't ignore her.
So, the man led the two of them to the birthday party venue.
"You can move freely at the venue, but don't think about leaving. Of course, you won't succeed, so it's best not to try," the man reminded.
Ning Xiaoyue responded with an "oh." If they couldn't leave, so be it. There was nothing to be afraid of.
The assistant was a bit scared, saying, "Xiaoyue, what should we do? We don't know what Liu Jinwei wants, and we don't know where Mr. Lin is or when he'll rescue us."
Ning Xiaoyue replied, "I don't know either, but Brother Fan said he would save us, and he definitely will."
The assistant said, "That's not certain. Xiaoyue, think about it. Mr. Lin is indeed remarkable, but that's in Yun City. Now we're in Hang City, Liu Jinwei's territory. Mr. Lin in Hang City might not be able to take on Liu Jinwei."
The assistant's concern was not unfounded. Lin Fan in Yun City was indeed a formidable figure, and the na of the mysterious wealthy Mr. Lin was awe-inspiring.
But this is Hang City, not Mr. Lin's territory. Here, Mr. Lin is just another stranger, and not many people know Lin Fan. Can Lin Fan, in Hang City, handle Liu Jinwei, the local tycoon?
The assistant said, "Since Mr. Lin t us last night, he hasn't appeared again. We don't know where he is, and there's no news from him. We probably can't count on him!"
In saying this, regardless of who it is, they would be worried, which is a normal reaction.
But Ning Xiaoyue admired Lin Fan deeply. She always believed in Lin Fan and reassured her assistant, "Don't worry, believe , Brother Fan will co."
As she spoke, she subconsciously looked up, scanning the surroundings, trying to spot Lin Fan, but she couldn't find him.
The assistant began to sweat. Although Ning Xiaoyue was so sure about Lin Fan, she wasn't Ning Xiaoyue. She always thought that Mr. Lin, as an outsider, might not be able to handle Liu Jinwei. After all, Liu Jinwei captured Ning Xiaoyue possibly just to target her specifically, and wouldn't easily give up.
Can Lin Fan really take on a local tycoon?
Ning Xiaoyue was searching for Lin Fan.
Suddenly, there was a commotion nearby. It turned out soone had entered the venue, attracting everyone's attention.
Ning Xiaoyue also looked over and saw Hua Yiwu.
"That's Hua Yiwu!" the assistant said in delight. Seeing Hua Yiwu, she seed to lose her fear, drawn to him.
There's no denying that Hua Yiwu is indeed very handso. Even among a crowd of young celebrities, Hua Yiwu is a striking presence. Tall, with fair skin, he is indeed outstanding.
"It seems Liu Jinwei has quite the influence to even invite Hua Yiwu," the assistant remarked.
Ning Xiaoyue looked at Hua Yiwu. She recognized him. Before she debuted, she also had a phase of idol chasing. Among fans, Hua Yiwu is a very famous star. Even if one isn't a fan of his, they know of Hua Yiwu.
Ning Xiaoyue wasn't a fan of Hua Yiwu, but she did acknowledge his good looks.
"He is indeed very handso," Ning Xiaoyue said.
The assistant comnted, "He is an esteed idol in the entertainnt industry. Besides being handso, he's also very gentle and has a good character."
Ning Xiaoyue nodded. She admitted Hua Yiwu was handso and seed nice, but she didn't fancy him. In her heart, the handsost and best person was Brother Fan.
"Xiaoyue, look, he's looking over," the assistant suddenly tugged Ning Xiaoyue's arm, bowed her head, and smiled happily.
Ning Xiaoyue looked up and saw Hua Yiwu indeed looking her way.
At that mont, Hua Yiwu's gaze landed on Ning Xiaoyue. When he saw her looking back, he flashed a warm smile and nodded at her before walking toward her.
Ning Xiaoyue suddenly felt a bit nervous. Really? Hua Yiwu was coming toward her, sowhat unexpectedly, and she didn't know how to handle it.
Hua Yiwu walked straight up to Ning Xiaoyue, extended his hand, and greeted her with a smile, "Hi, I'm Hua Yiwu."
Ning Xiaoyue did not extend her hand to shake his but simply nodded politely and returned a smile.
Hua Yiwu said, "You must be Ning Xiaoyue. I've often seen you trending recently. I recognized your face at a glance. Finally seeing you in person, you look even more beautiful than in photos and videos."
Ning Xiaoyue replied politely, "Thank you."
When soone complints her appearance, it's etiquette to respond.
Hua Yiwu had heard last night that Ning Xiaoyue would attend Liu Jinwei's birthday party. He ntioned to Liu Yina that he wanted to et Ning Xiaoyue, but Liu Yina said she hadn't arrived yet, which he found disappointing.
Today, upon arriving at the venue, he was imdiately stunned by Ning Xiaoyue's beauty and approached her.
"Don't be shy, I won't bite," Hua Yiwu laughed when he saw Ning Xiaoyue seeming less responsive. He assud Ning Xiaoyue was shy.
After all, he was too handso. Typically, won are chard when they see him, and he was certain Ning Xiaoyue was no exception, he was that confident.
Ning Xiaoyue said, "No, sorry, I'm waiting for soone."
Ning Xiaoyue didn't really want to engage much with Hua Yiwu; her mind was solely on seeing Brother Fan as soon as possible.
Hua Yiwu replied, "Waiting for soone? Is that an excuse? Was I a bit abrupt earlier? Don't be nervous, I just wanted to co over and get to know you."
Ning Xiaoyue glanced at him and said, "I really am waiting for soone, sorry."
Hua Yiwu was very confident, thinking Ning Xiaoyue was rely shy and nervous upon seeing him, thus making the excuse of waiting for soone—suggesting he could further flirt.
But Ning Xiaoyue insisted she was indeed waiting for soone, which changed the aning. It seed, to Hua Yiwu, as if she didn't want to deal with him, rejecting him!
Was Ning Xiaoyue really immune to his charm? This was unprecedented. Could it be that there's soone Hua Yiwu can't woo?
"Haha, I approached you for a conversation, but I didn't expect you to be so standoffish. If you want to make it in the entertainnt industry like this, you won't go far. You're still too naive. In this industry, it's not just about talent, it's about how you, first and foremost, manage relationships," Hua Yiwu chuckled.
If Ning Xiaoyue disrespected him, he decided to teach her a lesson.
Ning Xiaoyue was taken aback, furrowing her brow and said with slight resentnt, "What are you talking about? I really am waiting for soone."
"Really? Who are you waiting for?" Hua Yiwu asked. He was curious to see who could possibly be more important than him, for whom Ning Xiaoyue would disregard even him.
