Zhou Junqi had finally located Qiao Xi and hurried over.
Upon seeing him, Bei Bei quickly opened the car door, "Sister Xi, you get in first."
Zhou Junqi's gaze fixed on Qiao Xi's face, "Teacher Qiao, I have something to say to you."
"Sister Xi is tired; whatever you need to say can wait until next time."
Zhou Junqi had been in the spotlight for gossip ever since his debut, and didn't forget to stir up a "ship" with Qiao Xi while filming. He managed to leech a lot of popularity from the Goddess of Divine Beauty. The moment Bei Bei saw him, her hackles were raised—Stay away from my Sister Xi!
"Bei Bei, I have something very important to say to Teacher Qiao."
Why is he being guarded like a wolf? He's not a bad guy!
With a "roar," the black sports car arrogantly drove away from them, drowning out the sound of Qiao Xi's voice.
In the dimly-lit parking lot, the man's profile was visible through the open car window, his features sharp and resolute.
In the moment the car drove past, Qiao Xi seemed to see him turn his head, his eyes shadowed as if through a thin mist. Google seaʀᴄh NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt
Zhou Junqi also noticed the sports car but didn't catch sight of the person inside.
He looked at Qiao Xi, his expression tense, "Teacher Qiao, just give me a few minutes, I'll go as soon as I'm done."
Qiao Xi's patience was wearing thin, "I'm not available right now. You can talk to my agent if you have anything."
"It's not work-related, it's personal, and I kind of don't think it's appropriate to talk to Sister Li about it."
What personal matter could there be?
Bei Bei firmly blocked him, "Our Sister Xi doesn't mix her acting career with her personal life. Mr. Zhou, please step aside!"
"Teacher Qiao, it's just a few minutes. It might not be a big deal for you, but it's really important to me."
Bei Bei was furious. There was no shortage of people who tried to cozy up to Sister Xi, but he was the first to be so shameless and persistent!
Qiao Xi suppressed her irritation, "Go ahead and say it."
"Teacher Qiao, I like you." Zhou Junqi's eyes were full of deep affection, "I fell for you the first time I saw you. I didn't dare to disturb you before because we hadn't finished filming, but I'm not afraid now. I want to pursue you!"
She really hadn't seen this coming.
Two years ago, Qiao Xi had announced her marriage. As a top goddess with divine beauty in the circle, it had caused quite a stir at the time.
But without solid proof, to this day, no one believed it.
How could a goddess marry young?
A fairy getting married? Hah, they'd never believe it!
"Xixi, in front of me, you can be yourself; you don't need to pretend. It's too exhausting, and it hurts me to see you like that. Everyone says your marriage is a sham, and I don't take it seriously either," he went as far as to change his way of addressing her.
Brains are a great thing, but unfortunately, he doesn't have one.
"I didn't deceive the public; I really am married." Qiao Xi's expression was as if she was immersed in happiness, with a faint smile floating around the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, "My husband from outside the circle and I have always been very loving."
Married for two years and not a single meeting, such a ridiculous marriage surely doesn't exist, right?
"I don't want the outside world to disturb our married life, so there's no need to reveal his identity."
Of course, his identity must remain secret, otherwise, it would be difficult to resolve.
"I am faithful to my husband and this relationship."
She rejected all under-the-table dealings to get where she is today, all justified and hard-earned.
"I have no intentions of divorce right now, so I'm sorry."
The marriage was still bound to end; she couldn't be trapped by Shen Dang for life, controlled by those few people from the Qiao Family.
Aboard the retreating sports car, the man was a bit gossipy, discussing with Shen Dang, "Brother Dang, Goddess Qiao blew up the news about her marriage two years ago, but we still don't know who the groom is. Do you think that news could possibly be fake?"
