355 Two Bright Red Marks
Hearing this, the panic in Pei Huai’s eyes disappeared.
He stood up, “wait for me. I’ll bring you.”
He had to contribute to a gift for his future mother-in-law.
XBY’s road was wide and lively. Pei Huai was driving and Su Ji was sitting in the passenger seat.
!!
Finally, the man had a taste of it. He turned the steering wheel with one hand, his other elbow leaned against the window, and his hand was on his lips.
He was obviously recalling some memories. Su Ji really wanted to beat him up, but she couldn’t.
She sighed, “let’s buy something more expensive.”
She was referring to the gift for Madam Xu.
Her mother watched her very closely, but in the end, she had failed.
Su Ji thought it was better if she bought her something more expensive.
Pei Huai glanced at her and said seriously, “sure. What does she like? I’ll pay for it.”
Su Ji did not look out of the ordinary, unlike Pei Huai, who had his shirt buttoned up to top, but one could still see some scratch marks on his neck.
She was already controlling herself, otherwise, she would have scratched his face.
Pei Huai said that she was attending the awards ceremony tonight and didn’t want anyone to notice, so he didn’t leave any obvious marks on her.
At first, Su Ji thought that he was nice but later, when he left those traces somewhere else…
He would definitely be able to write some exciting chapters in The Wild History of Concubine Su.
Once cannot judge a book by its cover.
Su Ji looked at the scenery outside the window that was quickly passing by. For some reason, she thought about the past memory that came to her mind last night.
At General Wang’s celebration party, the way Prince Huai looked at her through the mask.
She didn’t know if it was real or just an illusion, or if she was influenced by the book.
“What are you thinking about?”
Pei Huai’s voice pulled her back to reality. It wasn’t nice to think about other men at this time. Su Ji gathered her thoughts, brushed her hair, and said casually, “nothing.”
Pei Huai asked, “do you feel uncomfortable?”
“I feel sick,” Su Ji replied.
Pei Huai raised his eyebrows, “so fast?”
Su Ji slowly turned around, “what? ”
Pei Huai narrowed his eyes and continued to drive. “It’s from yesterday’s drinking, right?”
“What else?” Su Ji asked.
**
The awards ceremony officially started at eight o’clock in the evening, but it was only six and the venue was already packed with people.
Reporters from all over the world surrounded the main road nearby.
The organizers were the first to enter, while the celebrity directors followed.
The celebrities waiting in the cars at the entrance could barely see the front. They only heard someone shout, “it’s Mr. Casar!”
Then, all the journalists rushed in one direction, and the flashes lit up the sky.
Su Ji was playing games with Xu Ni in the car. Si Jingchuan didn’t know how to play the game, so he sat opposite Su Ji while watching them play.
At this moment, everyone had already changed into their formal attire. Su Ji was wearing a nude-colored, skin-tight, floor-length dress. After all, she was at XBY.
Si Jingchuan realized that her skin was still as fair and flawless as before.
“CEO Pei is quite restrained. Did he remember that you’re attending the awards ceremony?”
Su Ji had a piece of lychee candy in her mouth. Her hair was styled, and her makeup was exquisite. She was beautiful beyond words. She leaned back in the chair and crossed her legs under her dress. “I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
Xu Ni looked up at Si Jingchuan with disdain, “how dare you talk about this with Su Ji!”
Then, he turned to look at Su Ji with a smile, “CEO Pei took quite a long time…”
Su Ji bit the candy in her mouth.
Si Jingchuan was shocked, “how do you know such things at such a young age?”
“None of your business.”
She used to be a boy and was surrounded by male classmates. She was forced to listen to a lot of things even if she didn’t want to.
Wave after wave of actors and directors entered the venue. The cheers and screams grew louder and louder, and there were shouts in all kinds of languages. An hour later, it was finally those from The Billion Stars. Su Ji yawned lazily and put away her phone.
They were purely guests and were not competing, so they were arranged to come in at the end.
Their seats were also at the back.
There were too many big shots from all over the world at today’s event, so it couldn’t be helped.
After receiving Huang Huayu’s message, they got out of their cars and walked the red carpet together.
Although the organizers didn’t give them much screen time, their presence could be felt from the number of people.
Someone asked Su Ji with a sly smile, “where’s CEO Pei? Why don’t I see him?”
Su Ji teased her boyfriend without any hesitation, “he’s not even part of our crew. I think he was stopped by the security guards at the gate.”
“No way…”
The group soon arrived at the entrance of the red carpet. Several cameras with Chinese flags on them began to move forward. These people had just finished photographing Jiang Cuiqin and Nan Miaomiao.
“Quickly look! It’s the crew from The Billions Stars!”
“Wow! They are so good looking!”
“Is Xu Ni wearing a suit or a gown?”
“A gown! And she is with Su Ji! I must take a few hundred photos and send them back home!”
The weather in XBY was indeed warmer than in A City, but it was the end of winter, so the evening was cold.
The male celebrities were better off, but the female celebrities were all wearing sleeveless gowns, and the fabric was also very thin.
A gust of night wind blew past, and goosebumps appeared on Su Ji’s arms. She remembered that she also had goosebumps this morning as well. Not only that, even her scalp was numb.
She finally understood what Pei Huai meant when he said that they were barely started.
Talking on paper and doing it in reality were completely different.
She read the book and thought that it was nothing, but later she realized…
Su Ji was a very competitive person.
She had decided that she would be the one on top next time.
“Si Jingchuan, Su Ji, look at the camera!”
“This way, this way!”
Hearing a few friendly Chinese shouts, Su Ji knew it was their turn.
Han Junlei and Huang Huayu took the lead arm in arm, which was quite rare in other production teams.
A few other groups of actors followed behind.
Su Ji and Si Jingchuan were the middle two.
The group of actors in front of them deliberately walked slower to get closer to them. It was obvious that all the shots were focused on Su Ji and Si Jingchuan. If they were closer to them, they might get a shot.
Behind Su Ji was Xu Ni, who appeared together with Yu Ling.
It was Xu Ni’s first time walking the red carpet, so she felt a little awkward. She did not know where to look, so she simply looked straight ahead at Su Ji’s smooth back that was exposed.
In the next second, she saw something and subconsciously wanted to call out to Su Ji.
Yu Ling quickly pulled her back, “what are you doing? You’re trying to chat while walking the red carpet? Be careful, the camera is on us.”
“No…” She watched Su Ji walk further and further away until her back was exposed to all the cameras.
Her dress looked normal from the front, but the deep V at the back extended all the way to her waist.
At the tip of the V, there were two bright red marks!
