Chapter 118: Chapter 115: Them, People from Two Worlds

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

She was dazzling, the center of attention, accompanied by handsome men, surrounded by countless fans.

He, on the other hand, stood in an obscure corner of the street, watching her from a considerable distance.

A moment later, he slightly lowered his head and pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket, took one out, and placed it between his lips.

The lighter clicked.

As the wind blew, he slightly cupped his hand, and the flame flickered weakly through the gaps between his fingers.

When he squinted slightly to look at her again, the smoke that leisurely drifted between his nose and lips enveloped her figure in a misty haze, vague and indistinct.

It seemed as if it added an unspoken, vast distance between them.

Darkness gradually settled in the depths of his eyes.

He now understood why his father, mother, and cousin did not believe she was his girlfriend.

If it weren’t for that one night they shared, he probably wouldn’t have believed it either.

The two of them lived in completely different worlds.

…

As soon as Wen Xian got out of the car, fans around her waved their glow sticks frantically and shouted while the media filmed.

With a generous smile, graceful and beautiful, she allowed them to take photos from various angles for a moment before she gracefully took Huo Qi’s arm and walked into the venue.

However, as she entered, she felt something a bit off.

Had she missed something when she was being photographed from all those angles?

Wen Xian thought about it and involuntarily turned her head in one direction to look.

But this look made her see a figure in the distance turning to leave, wearing a black jacket and black trousers.

As this figure unexpectedly came into her view, Wen Xian froze on the spot, her heart trembling violently…!

What, what did she see…!?

“What’s wrong?”

Huo Qi noticed her stagnation and stiffness and stopped to ask.

Wen Xian’s throat moved with some difficulty, and she watched helplessly as that figure turned the corner at the street ahead and disappeared. She was completely bewildered, her heart trembling.

What’s happening, had he come to Shanghai?

Was she seeing things, or was it some kind of illusion? Wasn’t he supposed to be in Qinghai? How could he possibly be in Shanghai!?

And how could he possibly… appear in her line of sight?

“No, no, I might have seen the wrong person.” Saying this, she and Huo Qi entered the venue of the movie premiere.

It must have been her mistake, just a resemblance, it couldn’t possibly… be him.

Huo Qi was one of the investors in this movie, and he was quite familiar with her, so she would call him over with a phone call for such events where a male companion was necessary.

Inside the venue, Wen Xian went on stage and spoke eloquently and appropriately.

And during the opening ceremony, when it was halfway, Huo Qi came out from backstage to get some air.

He couldn’t help feeling that ever since Wen Xian returned from Qinghai, something about her seemed to have changed, but he couldn’t quite pinpoint what exactly it was.

What had happened in Qinghai? Could it really be, as that fellow netizen on her flight had mentioned, that she had another man?

There was an exit backstage, leading directly to the street outside.

And next to that exit, Huo Qi suddenly noticed a man standing there.

Upon seeing the man, he immediately furrowed his brows slightly.

Who was that?

At the back entrance of the venue…

It was generally either paparazzi or a bodyguard, Huo Qi examined him closely… Could it be a bodyguard?

Huo Qi stared at him for a while and then walked slowly towards the man.

To be precise, he walked towards Lu Xiao.
