Chapter 554: Chapter 554: Saw the Magazine Interview

His mood, previously quite agreeable, immediately grew overcast upon seeing that there wasn’t a single message on his phone, the intense displeasure even stirring him into irritability.

“Damn it, hasn’t she thought to send even one message?”

This realization made Li Shengxiao exceedingly displeased.

He picked up his phone and scrolled to his chat history with Rong Yan. The conversation still displayed the homemade Little Baby emoji pack she had sent him.

His thin lips pursed, he frowned and typed out a line of text, but his finger paused just before pressing send.

What if she was working, would she find his sudden message obtrusive and think he was too controlling?

Li Shengxiao’s brows furrowed more tightly, and after a moment of silence, he irritably deleted the message, placing the phone back in its spot. He then turned his attention to the documents needed for the meeting.

Production value—it was easy… His eyes involuntarily fell onto the same two characters again, printed with the utmost precision.

Easy—Rong Yan.

Three minutes passed, and he still couldn’t get past these two words.

The distinguished man’s tightly pressed thin lips relaxed, as he leaned back into his swivel chair, picking up the phone that was set aside. This time, he didn’t flip through WeChat, but instead opened a web browser and went directly to the latest news about Rong Yan.

Magazine photoshoot covers need retouching before they can be released, but in order to promote the upcoming issue, the magazine had already publicized the photoshoot details well in advance.

Beyond the photoshoot information, the official magazine website also released some parts of an interview ahead of time.

Since Rong Yan wasn’t highly ranked yet, the magazine cleverly extracted the most eye-catching segment to captivate readers.

Li Shengxiao quickly scanned the interview written above.

Editor: Alright, we’ve talked for quite a while now, so I’m going to be bold and ask Rong Yan an off-topic question. There have been rumors that you have a boyfriend, is that true? I’m personally very curious, and I believe many of your fans are too.

Rong Yan: Haha, yes, I do have a boyfriend.

Editor: Wow. It seems our Rong Yan is really in love. Can you share some information about your boyfriend?

Rong Yan: Well… there’s not much to share, really. He’s not from the industry, and he’s quite busy with his work. He isn’t very familiar with the entertainment circle.

Editor: Then can you talk about how you two got together?

Rong Yan: Hmm, let’s see. One day I just realized I kind of liked him, so I took the initiative to go and confess to him, asking if he would like to be together. After that, we smoothly became a couple. That’s probably one of the boldest things I’ve ever done, but it felt like a precarious thing to do. When you like someone, you just do, and there’s nothing you can do about it, you just have to face your own heart openly.

Has a boyfriend, likes!

Li Shengxiao’s previously irritated mood was as if suddenly infused with a fresh breeze, dispersing all the unpleasantness.

He reread the snippet of the interview five or six times, his mood greatly improved. Just then, Gu Ming entered from outside.

“Mr. Li, the meeting is about to start, should we head over now?”

Li Shengxiao looked up from his phone, clearly in a good mood as he commanded, “Book 100,000 copies of the next issue of V Show and have the logistics department distribute them next week. One for each person to read!”

“Uh, Mr. Li, are you talking about V Show magazine?” Gu Ming doubted he had heard correctly and asked for confirmation again.
