"Aren’t you riding with ?" Qi Helian stopped in his tracks, turned around with a puzzled look at Ji Anning, and then glanced at the car behind his, where Ji Anning’s assistant stood. He frowned in displeasure, "Get this broken car out of here."
Ji Anning: "..."
Where did he see that her car was broken? Although it was not as luxurious as his RV, it was still worth over a million, right?
Initially, she didn’t think much of it, but his words made her feel incredibly embarrassed.
She looked at her driver, who had a troubled expression. She lifted her foot, wanting to walk over.
Qi Helian sensed her intention, and with a few long strides, he reached her side, grabbed her arm, and with a cold lift of his eyebrow, he addressed the driver, "Didn’t you hear that you’re supposed to drive away?"
With a stunningly enchanting face, his anger did not diminish his authority one bit. The driver dared not delay any further and hurriedly nodded, "Right away."
"Girl, from now on, we’re the big shots," Ji Chicheng pulled on Ji Anning’s arm.
Overtly protective.
And so, he boldly yanked Ji Anning into his car.
Having young master Qi looking after her, the stylists, costu designers, makeup artists, and so on that followed were all the best of the best.
Ji Anning was originally just one of the many ordinary guests, and she had only been invited by the chief director of Fashion magazine to shoot one of the the covers for its tenth anniversary.
Her presence was relatively weak.
But now, riding in the sa car with Qi Helian and making a joint appearance, the attention she received was instantly different.
In a vibrant red strapless gown, holding a silver-white clutch, with soft long hair cascading down her back, her skin appeared exceptionally fair, and her already natural beauty was further highlighted, especially with soone like Qi Helian by her side.
Her entrance alone captured plenty of attention, with cara lenses focusing on her for close-ups.
Apart from her and Qi Helian, there were female stars from Fenfen who had also made their appearances on international red carpets.
After getting on stage, Qi Helian was escorted to a seat reserved for special guests, while Ji Anning and the other Fenfen female stars were seated together, surrounded by stars from other countries.
The other Fenfen female stars, who had previously graced international red carpets, were acquainted with those celebrities from other countries. They gathered together and conversed breezily.
Ji Anning, sitting by their side, was rather bored.
Turning her head, she caught a glimpse of Qi Helian, who was chatting happily with a pair of foreign male and female stars, along with Fashion’s CEO.
"I’ve seen you before in China; weren’t you called Ji Anning?"
Suddenly, the Chinese actress seated to her right leaned in and asked with a smile.
Taken aback by the sudden ntion of the past, Ji Anning felt a bit awkward. She turned to the actress and smiled faintly, without responding.
But the other woman didn’t give up on striking up a conversation, "That year at the charity auction, soone bid 20 million for your kiss, overshadowing Wan Yueyue, and I rember it vividly to this day."
Ji Anning just kept smiling.
In the entertainnt industry where scheming is commonplace, everyone, in any situation, would rack their brains to outshine others, even during a photo opportunity, thinking about how to get more exposure.
So the saying ’disaster cos from the mouth, he who speaks a lot is bound to slip’, were words she had adhered to closely over the past two years, whether behind the scenes or in front of the cara.
She never thought of advancing her career by stepping on others, nor would she allow others to use her.
Therefore, no matter if the woman beside her was mocking her, trying to flatter her, or genuinely had low emotional intelligence, none of it was kind-hearted.
