Chapter 211: Sprinkling Sugar

Chapter 211

Zhong Ruanxing and President Song's love affair trended on social media's hot search for three days. Song Corporation's affiliated shopping malls also held sales promotions for three days. The mysterious President Song seemed to be excessively proclaiming his love for his girlfriend this way.

Fu Ling, the first little assistant in the fan community to ship this celebrity couple, was extremely satisfied to see the couple topping the rankings of the most discussed celebrity couples overnight. It felt gratifying, like her persistence had paid off.

Real couples are just so shippable!

After announcing their relationship, the couple no longer hid their dates and netizens occasionally posted photos when they ran into this lovey-dovey pair.

One time they were spotted at a ski resort with President Song teaching Zhong Ruanxing how to snowboard. Another time they were seen competing in target shooting. And one time Zhong Ruanxing was spotted horseback riding, dressed sharply in equestrian gear and sitting atop a tall horse while President Song led the horse, taking her on a romantic stroll at dusk.

Through these fan encounters, the mysterious boyfriend finally revealed himself to the public.

The anti-fans nearly died of jealousy when they saw Song JinXing’s photos.

They assumed the President of Song Corporation was some sleazy middle-aged man. Even if he was rich, Zhong Ruanxing still had to serve this kind of man! Thinking this made them feel a bit better.

But unexpectedly, President Song was so young! And so handsome! His looks could easily defeat celebrities in the entertainment industry! It’s just unfair!

Netizen: May I ask where to get this handsome and rich boyfriend?

Top Liked Reply: First, you’d have to have a face as beautiful as the one Zhong Ruanxing got from the Goddess Nuwa.

In fact, the reason why the couple was aggressively showing off their affection was because Zhong Ruanxing wanted to spend more time with her boyfriend before leaving for filming. The travel show “Chasing the Wonders of Nature” focused on outdoor locations, mostly abroad. She’d be gone for half a month and they’d be in a long distance relationship again.

Of course she had to take this chance to date him as much as possible.

Zhong Ruanxing took out a little notebook and planned out their dates, filling up every page. When all items on the list had checkmarks, it was time for her overseas filming.

Her flight was scheduled to depart at 9 AM the next day. According to plan, Zhong Ruanxing should’ve gone home to pack last night and Ran Ting would come with the crew this morning to pick her up for the airport.

But seeing her boyfriend’s reluctant gaze, Zhong Ruanxing felt that she couldn’t leave.

The standalone villa was already full of traces of her life. The previously bare courtyard had become a lush garden. Despite it being almost winter, the plants were still thriving and the air was filled with the rich fragrance of wintersweet flowers.

Zhong Ruanxing stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor with a perfect view of the vibrant branches.

The indoor heating was turned up high. The palm print left on the glass showed how hot it was inside compared to the early winter chill outside.

She had always thought of herself as career-oriented but it turned out she was just lovesick!

For a moment, she even considered standing up the show crew.

When they stopped at a red light, Song JinXing freed a hand to hold hers, saying, “Then I’ll go with you.”

Knowing he was joking, Zhong Ruanxing lifted his hand and kissed it, laughing. “That’d be great!”

After parking at the airport, just as Zhong Ruanxing was about to say goodbye to her boyfriend with a kiss, she saw him take out two suitcases from the trunk. One large pink suitcase was the one Ran Ting had sent over this morning. The other was the luggage he used for business trips.

Zhong Ruanxing: “?”

Wait, you’re serious?

Song JinXing’s eyes told her yes, I’m serious.

Even after checking in their luggage and watching both suitcases disappear on the conveyor belt, Zhong Ruanxing was still baffled. “But what about your company?”

Song JinXing smiled and pulled her into his arms. “It’s taken care of.”

Finally, it dawned on Zhong Ruanxing. “So you planned long ago to accompany me overseas for work?”

Song JinXing raised a brow. “My girlfriend can’t bear to leave me, of course I have to make some gesture.”

Zhong Ruanxing bounced excitedly and threw her arms around his neck, smacking a big kiss on his face. Nearby fans who had noticed and been secretly taking photos of the couple let out muffled squeals of excitement.

The show had booked the same flight for all six guests.

When boarding the plane, the other five guests were already seated in first class. Among them were industry competitors of Zhong Ruanxing’s. It was typical of “Travel Landscape Season” to invite rivaling guests, as it helped stir up discussion. Where else could such high traffic come from?

However, upon seeing the handsome man accompanying Zhong Ruanxing, the other guests knew this sister was untouchable.

Joke’s on anyone daring enough to attack his girlfriend in front of the President of Song Corporation! Still want resources? Still want to keep working in this industry?

But President Song, isn’t your love a bit excessive? It’s just filming a show abroad! Is it necessary to accompany the entire duration?

The CEO of such a major corporation has so much free time?
