Soon, Ji Wei spotted Xia Duoduo in the crowd. She was standing with Ye Cheng, talking with several directors and producers.
When Xia Duoduo turned her head and saw Ji Wei, she said sothing to Ye Cheng before quickly walking over to her.
"Little Wei, you’re here too! That’s great."
The two close friends bead as they held each other’s hands in excitent.
Ji Wei scrutinized Xia Duoduo from head to toe before clicking her tongue in admiration and saying, "It’s rare to see you dressed so elegantly. Did you pick out that dress yourself? It really suits your style."
Xia Duoduo blushed slightly, lowering her gaze shyly as she replied, "Agent Ye helped pick it out and gave so advice."
Ji Wei nodded knowingly. No wonder—this was far above Duoduo’s usual taste.
Gu Moqian noticed the lively conversation between the two close friends, but as business associates approached him to exchange na cards, he gave Ji Wei a subtle glance.
Ji Wei imdiately understood his signal and nodded. "You go handle your business; I’ll take Duoduo to the dining area to sit for a bit."
After Gu Moqian left, the two were about to head to the dining area when a guest nearby exclaid, "Look, look! Isn’t that the lady boss of Zii Club? Wow, I can’t believe she’s here!"
"Keep your voice down! Didn’t you see Zii walking in arm-in-arm with Brother Hu? We absolutely can’t afford to offend soone like her from the underworld and upper society circles."
Ji Wei instinctively reacted at the ntion of Zii’s na and followed the gaze of the surrounding guests.
A sultry woman walked in with an air of nonchalant grace. She was tall, wearing a cheongsam-style white gown. Her every move carried an effortless sensuality as she covered her mouth with a hand, laughing softly while chatting with the middle-aged man next to her.
Though a woman, she exuded an aura of decisive power and control.
To certain n, a woman like her could be utterly captivating—utterly deadly.
As she passed by them, the woman paused suddenly. Her seductive eyes swept up and down Ji Wei with scrutiny for what seed like a long mont. Just as Ji Wei was about to speak, the woman rely nodded slightly before linking arms with the middle-aged man again and disappearing into the crowd.
Ji Wei retracted her gaze and noticed Xia Duoduo staring ahead at the mingling crowd, her thoughts seemingly elsewhere.
Following Xia Duoduo’s line of sight, Ji Wei spotted the direction she was looking in—towards Ye Cheng.
Previously engaged in an animated conversation with several producers and directors, Ye Cheng’s stunningly handso face had montarily frozen when Zii approached.
When his gaze landed on Zii’s hand looped around the middle-aged man’s arm, the chill in his expression deepened with an understated hint of anger.
In the very next mont, Ye Cheng returned to his calm deanor, said sothing to the directors and producers, and quickly faded into the crowd.
"Let’s go, Duoduo," Ji Wei said as she tugged Xia Duoduo, whose gaze remained fixed on the direction where Ye Cheng had vanished, and led her to their seats.
As a waiter passed by, Ji Wei grabbed a glass of champagne from the tray and handed it to Xia Duoduo, then took one for herself.
They sat side by side, sipping champagne and chatting leisurely. Xia Duoduo shared updates on her progress with Xingyao Entertainnt. With Ye Cheng’s support, she had smoothly landed a new filming project and was set to join the production team next week.
Though Xia Duoduo kept talking, Ji Wei could sense her absentmindedness. Her eyes drifted towards the crowd from ti to ti, as though searching for a particular soone.
Putting down her champagne glass, Ji Wei suddenly reached out and clasped her friend’s hand. "Duoduo, you... have you fallen for Ye Cheng?"
Though hesitant, Ji Wei couldn’t hold back the question.
