After a short rest, we went to have lunch.
You could order from here and have a waiter bring your lunch to your room.
You could also go to the restaurant.
The restaurant here was also distinctive, built directly on the lake. The floor was all transparent glass, giving an illusion of floating on the water when one walked on it.
If you were lucky, you could even see fish swimming under the glass floor.
Xia Yangyang and Chen Yu decided to eat in the restaurant, as the food here was said to be exceptionally good.
The restaurant was quite crowded.
The patrons were some of the most prestigious elite from around the world.
Chen Yu noticed her extreme curiosity,
and the two of them gossiped while eating: “Look at that woman over there in the black dress, she’s the Countess Alexander. She’s visiting China recently because she’s dating a young Chinese man. And there… do you recognize that woman next to the eldest son of Xi Jiachen, the richest man in Asia? That’s Bai Jingjing, a popular starlet right now. She’s only 17, yet rumor has it that she’s already pregnant…”
All of a sudden, Xia Yangyang raised her head and asked, “There are rumors that you and the second son of Asia’s richest man, Xi Yankai, are involved. Is that true?”
Chen Yu rolled his eyes at her: “I’m a guy, and I’m attracted to girls. But I’m so good looking that I attract both men and women. It’s his good taste that he admires me.”
The two continued gossiping: “And there… that popular actress, Shen Manbing. She’s been in the industry for many years and there have always been rumors about her secret boyfriend. It’s one of the great unsolved mysteries in the entertainment industry.”
Upon hearing Shen Manbing’s name, Xia Yangyang felt a sharp pinch in her heart.
She looked up in the direction pointed out by Chen Yu.
As expected, she saw a stunning face. The beautiful woman in red was dazzling, and although her exquisite face could charm the multitude, there was nothing lurid about it.
She was probably chatting with a friend, nonchalantly twirling her hair. Even this casual gesture of hers looked appealing.
Shen Manbing, like an exquisite blood-red rose, outshone all the other people around her.
Unbelievably, Shen Manbing was also here. Xia Yangyang went into a trance.
Chen Yu continued his gossip: “But I heard that this time she is on vacation with her mysterious boyfriend. Apparently he might propose to her. If we’re lucky, we might unravel the biggest secret of the entertainment industry.” Yangyang was shocked: “Mysterious boyfriend?”
Chen Yu said casually, “A friend inside the circle told me. Supposedly it was also leaked to the media by someone inside. So, a lot of media have paid big bucks to mix in at Lake Bay, hoping to dig out some exclusive news.”
Xia Yangyang had trouble keeping her thoughts straight all afternoon.
She felt agitated and restless.
Chen Yu wanted to go horse riding in the afternoon, but Xia Yangyang had no interest.
Chen Yu went alone. When he returned in the evening, he found Xia Yangyang still lost in thought in a porch swing on the balcony.
He wondered if she had been in this state the whole afternoon.
Chen Yu walked over to her: “Little lady, what’s been bothering you?”
Ever since they finished lunch, Chen Yu had felt that something was off with Xia Yangyang.
Xia Yangyang said, “Nothing really. I’m just mulling over some things.”
In her heart, Xia Yangyang knew that for many years, the media had speculated that Shen Manbing’s secret boyfriend was Gu Qichen.
But now Chen Yu had said that Shen Manbing was here on a vacation with her boyfriend.
Xia Yangyang began to doubt. Could Gu Qichen be here as well?
But Gu Qichen was supposedly away on business.
Was she overthinking?
