After calming his emotions, Zhan Qipei was ready to turn and leave.
Before leaving, he couldn’t help but glance at the big screen once more.
As he retracted his gaze, he inadvertently caught sight of a figure in the audience that looked incredibly like Qiao Jing.
This discovery caused Zhan Qipei’s already long strides to suddenly halt.
His dark eyes slightly narrowed, intensely focusing on that silhouette.
No matter how he looked, he felt it really resembled her!
Seeing their President Zhan staring off in one direction, lost in thought, Tang Yan curiously asked, "President Zhan, what’s wrong?"
Zhan Qipei’s gaze remained fixed on the silhouette, his thin lips softly parting to utter in a low voice, "That person’s silhouette really resembles hers."
Though he didn’t na nas, Tang Yan understood quite well that the "her" President Zhan referred to was the young madam.
Following President Zhan’s gaze, when he saw the silhouette ntioned by him, Tang Yan couldn’t help but be taken aback.
To be honest, that silhouette did indeed resemble the young madam!
While Tang Yan deliberated his words, pondering how to respond, Zhan Qipei had already withdrawn his gaze and turned to leave, "Let’s go."
"Yes."
Tang Yan promptly responded, stepping forward to keep up.
After exiting the cinema hall, Tang Yan asked, "President Zhan, are we heading back now or...?"
"Go wait outside; I’m going to the restroom."
With that said, Zhan Qipei redirected his steps toward the restroom.
At this mont, in the cinema hall, Qiao Jing suddenly stood up from her seat.
Seeing her action, Wu Xirui voiced his confusion, "What’s the matter? Why did you stand up suddenly? Could it be that you find this movie too boring to continue watching?"
"No."
Qiao Jing shook her head and calmly said, "I feel like going to the restroom."
Upon hearing this, Wu Xirui promptly stood as well, blurting out, "I’ll accompany you."
Hearing this, Qiao Jing was rendered sowhat speechless and decisively refused, "It’s not necessary; I’ll go by myself."
Wu Xirui insisted, "Still, let accompany you. It’s your first ti here; you might not know the way."
The speechlessness on Qiao Jing’s face was almost palpable, she retorted indifferently, "If I recall correctly, this cinema just opened today, it’s your first ti here too. I don’t know the way, but do you?"
"Besides, if I don’t know the way, I can look for signs or ask the staff. It’s unnecessary for you to accompany ."
Finished speaking, Qiao Jing couldn’t be bothered with Wu Xirui anymore and simply turned away to leave.
The restroom signs in the cinema were quite noticeable, and Qiao Jing found it quickly.
At this mont, Zhan Qipei was at the sink washing his hands.
Once he finished, as he looked up, he suddenly saw the reflection of a woman in the mirror.
And that woman’s face was unmistakably Qiao Jing!
This mirrored image left Zhan Qipei montarily stunned.
The next instant, he sharply turned his head.
His vision caught a woman entering the adjacent female restroom.
Since the person was facing away from him, even the brief glimpse of her back didn’t reveal anything.
Reflecting on the image in the mirror, Zhan Qipei wondered for a fleeting mont.
Could it be that he was seeing things?
But he wasn’t in a drunken state now, his mind was quite clear, and he generally had excellent vision; what reason could there be for him to mistake what he saw?
Thinking over this, Zhan Qipei inclined to believe that he hadn’t seen it wrong.
His gaze remained fixed on the direction of the female restroom, his feet subconsciously moving toward it.
When Zhan Qipei reached the entrance of the female restroom, two girls happened to co out.
Seeing a man standing at the entrance, they were startled.
However, they weren’t frightened but rather surprised — surprised at Zhan Qipei’s exceptionally handso appearance.
If it were soone else, they might have imdiately assud the person was a pervert, but this man was so handso, miles away from any sleazy sort, so certainly, he wasn’t!
Thinking this way, one of the girls spoke up to remind him, "Sir, did you co to the wrong place? This is the ladies’ restroom."
"Mm."
Zhan Qipei responded faintly, stepped back, and retreated to a corner.
The two girls left, glancing back every few steps, discussing in low voices.
"Wow! He’s too handso, really handso. It’s my first ti seeing such a handso man. This kind of looks absolutely crushes all the male stars in the entertainnt circle!"
"Exactly! If it were any other man trying to enter the ladies’ restroom, I’d definitely think he was being a creep. But this man is both handso and has an aura, clearly not an ordinary person; he probably just accidentally walked to the wrong place!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I think so too! I wonder what kind of woman a man this handso would fancy?"
"Anyway, definitely not soone like us. Such a perfect man, we can only look at him."
"True, seeing him is already our good fortune!"
"..."
After the two girls left, Zhan Qipei continued to stand there.
To avoid awkwardness, he no longer stared at the direction of the female restroom but kept his gaze fixed on the path necessarily taken when leaving it, waiting for the woman he saw in the mirror to appear.
Inside the female restroom, Qiao Jing erged from the stall, heading to the sink to wash her hands.
After washing up, she turned to walk out.
However, just as she reached the door, her view abruptly turned dark as a piece of clothing fell over her head, covering it.
Qiao Jing furrowed her brows, the first instinct being to remove the garnt.
Right as she reached to grab the clothing, Wu Xirui’s deliberately lowered voice sounded by her ear, "Zhan Qipei is here."
Hearing this, Qiao Jing paused for a mont in her action to lift the garnt.
She said right after, "It doesn’t matter if he’s here."
There wasn’t much of a relationship between her and Zhan Qipei. If he truly saw her true appearance, it might only be a slight inconvenience, requiring so ti to explain.
If he could understand, all the better; if not, thinking he’d been deceived, considering her a fraudster, then she couldn’t do anything about it.
Thinking thus, Qiao Jing intended to remove the garnt.
Seeing this, Wu Xirui quickly added, "I just seed to have seen Jiang Zihong too!"
In fact, he hadn’t seen Jiang Zihong at all; he said it deliberately to keep Qiao Jing from removing the garnt.
Knowing that Jiang Zihong persistently and shalessly pursued Qiao Jing by all ans, Wu Xirui had initially wanted to intervene and teach Jiang Zihong a lesson. But since Jiang Zihong hadn’t been active lately, Wu Xirui couldn’t be bothered with a clown like him.
Moreover, he understood Qiao Jing’s disposition well. She disliked others interfering in her affairs.
Given her willingness, she could have sought Zhan Qipei’s or Xu Moqian’s help to severely punish Jiang Zihong, but she hadn’t done so.
This showed that Qiao Jing didn’t want to leverage others’ strengths, preferring to solve problems on her own.
Of course, it’s also because Jiang Zihong has quieted down recently. Should he dare make any further moves against Qiao Jing, Wu Xirui wouldn’t stand idly by!
