Chapter 649 - Particularly Offended
She couldn’t explain why, but she felt very uncomfortable in seeing his stare.
She always had a feeling that Huo Jingtang was a somber and elusive man. Now, he had ordered his staff to send a bouquet of flowers to her. Could it be because he wanted to cause the public and Huo Yunshen to misunderstand her?
If Huo Jingtang thought that he could simply win a woman’s heart by giving her a bouquet of flowers, she could only say that he was being a bit delusional.
However, shortly after Xu Xiyan received the flowers, more people came in from all directions. Every one of them was carrying two beautiful and exquisitely decorated rose baskets in their arms. One by one, they placed the baskets on the ground around Jing Xi, forming a heart-shaped encirclement around her.
One of them came up and gave her a beautiful bouquet of cherry blossoms and a cute teddy bear holding a heart in its hands. A heart-shaped card was attached to it.
Xu Xiyan unfolded the card. The card says:
[Miss Cherry, you’re so beautiful tonight.]
Behind the card was a stick figure drawing of Mr. Cherry with a beard, Miss Cherry with a skirt and a cute Cherry Baby. The drawing of the family of three was Cherry’s childish work.
Wow, Xu Xiyan was very surprised. She didn’t expect to receive such a great gift at all.
It could be said that Huo Yunshen’s move to present her with flowers had alleviated Xu Xiyan of her awkward situation.
Huo Jingtang narrowed his eyes as he watched Xu Xiyan being surrounded by fresh flowers. Someone else had stolen his show by gifting her a stage full of flowers shortly after he had gifted her a bouquet of flowers.
His smugness was short-lived. This very moment felt like a slap to his face.
Just by looking at how happy Jing Xi was after seeing the card, he guessed that the person who had sent her the flowers must be Huo Yunshen.
He was always there to deliberately steal his limelight. How despicable of him!
Yes, it was Huo Yunshen who had done it. What’s wrong with him giving flowers to his beloved woman? Who would dare to say anything about that?
No one knew that at this time, Huo Yunshen and Ying Bao were sitting in a private box on the second floor, looking at her shining brightly like a star on the stage from far away.
Thanks to someone’s grand show of flower gifting, the audience was clamoring with excitement. Everyone was discussing who had given the flowers to Jing Xi. Was someone trying to pursue her?
“Who sent the flowers?”
“Is someone confessing to Jing Xi?”
“Wow, it’s so romantic…”
…
A reporter took the opportunity to ask her, “Miss Jing Xi, who gave you the flowers? Was it an admirer? Or your boyfriend?”
The reporter only wanted to coax out some valuable information from her, but Jing Xi kept her lips tight. She smiled at the camera as she answered, “First of all, I would like to thank the superfan who has given me all these flowers. I’m really flattered! Please don’t be so extravagant next time. If you have the money just directly transfer it into the production’s account. Director Peng will definitely thank you on behalf of the team.”
Her humor had successfully diverted everyone’s curiosity. It seemed that no one pressed her further about the incident that had happened five years ago anymore.
After interviewing her for a while, the host then invited the second male lead and the other main actors onto the stage.
After Ma Haodong came onto the stage, he naturally took his seat next to Jing Xi. The two looked at each other and smiled, chemistry apparent in their eyes.
He seemed to have said something in Jing Xi’s ear, making her laugh joyfully.
However, Ning Xin, who was in the audience watching them, felt particularly offended at what she saw.
She had come to support Ma Haodong, not to see him flirt with other women.
Her face darkened, and she was clearly very unhappy.
Not only had the sight of Jing Xi and Ma Haodong sitting together made Ning Xin feel uncomfortable, but Xiao Yuqian was also close by, sitting just two seats away from Jing Xi at her right-hand side.
Xiao Yuqian had also come, and furthermore, as Jing Xi’s manager.
Ning Xin couldn’t help but feel like laughing. Ma Haodong’s ex had become Jing Xi’s manager. Wasn’t that ironic?
