Outside the door, a crowd had likely already gathered. Through the door, Ji Wei could hear the quiet murmur of voices outside.
"Do you think the eldest daughter of the Ji Family is really inside with Second Young Master Huo? We’ve been listening for ages, but there’s no sound at all."
"Sister Xuan wouldn’t be wrong. Just now, Miss Ji was still seen side by side with Mr. Gu. And now, in such a short ti, she ends up sneaking into a room with Second Young Master Huo? Daring to put a green hat on Mr. Gu—now *that’s* explosive news!"
"I heard that Miss Ji and Mr. Gu are only together because of pressure from the elders. But Second Young Master Huo grew up alongside Miss Ji as childhood sweethearts. Miss Ji has always been bold and headstrong, so sneaking off to et a man in private? Totally normal behavior for her."
Hearing the conversation outside, Ji Wei’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Not only did Jin Xuan’er want to expose her scandalous video at the banquet, but she also intended to have the dia catch her having an "affair" with Second Young Master Huo. Clearly, this was a ticulously planned sche.
Before long, voices outside rose again: "But waiting like this won’t solve anything. How about we quietly open the door and take a look?"
"I’ve got the key Sister Xuan gave . I’ll open the door now."
They were coming in!
Nervous, Ji Wei unconsciously clenched her palms. While her mind raced to co up with a solution, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught sight of Xi Nanfeng walking toward her.
Xi Nanfeng, fully dressed, stopped right in front of her.
Ji Wei was about to tell him about the situation outside when Xi Nanfeng gestured for silence and signaled with his eyes for her to hide next to the door.
Ji Wei had no idea what he was planning, but she complied anyway.
The impatient dia reporters used the key to unlock the door. But just as they reached out to push it open, the door was unexpectedly pulled open from the inside.
The crowd froze for a mont, then their eyes lit up with excitent. They hurriedly adjusted their caras and microphones, aiming them at the door, which had just swung open.
"Miss Ji, may I ask if you and Mr. Huo—"
The first reporter to speak was dumbfounded, his jaw dropping as he saw the unexpected face behind the door. His microphone nearly slipped from his hand to the floor.
The cluster of reporters at the bedroom door all stared in disbelief at the man in front of them, wondering if their eyes were playing tricks on them.
They rubbed their eyes furiously—no mistake!
It was none other than Second Young Master Xi, Xi Nanfeng!
"I just ca in to take a damn shower, and I’ve attracted this many people to gawk? Don’t you dia folks have anything better to do?"
Standing tall and imposing in the doorway, Xi Nanfeng crossed his arms, a signature smirk of insolent arrogance on his face as he stared down the group of dumbfounded reporters.
"Second Young Master Xi, why is it you..."
One of the reporters finally regained his composure and asked hesitantly, "Isn’t this Mr. Huo’s room?"
The reporter wasn’t giving up and even tiptoed to peek behind Xi Nanfeng.
Impossible! Jin Xuan’er had clearly said it was Room 205—there was absolutely no way it was wrong.
"Mr. Huo who? This is *my* room," Xi Nanfeng stated with certainty.
The reporters exchanged confused looks, suspicion flickering across their faces.
"Make way. I still need to head downstairs for the banquet. Excuse , everyone, but I won’t be keeping you company." After speaking, Xi Nanfeng casually shut the door behind him and walked through the crowd with a look of impatience.
The reporters had no choice but to move aside and make way for him.
As they watched Xi Nanfeng walk off, they remained utterly bewildered, unable to make sense of the situation.
If Second Young Master Xi was in the room, then where were Mr. Huo and Miss Ji?
