Chapter 566: Chapter 566: Torturing a Dog, Not Even a Best Actor Is Spared!
After finishing speaking, she hung up the phone.
Xia Weibao originally didn’t want to bother, but since Xu Jiayang was mentioned, she went anyway.
She, as a person, could be indifferent to the affairs of strangers, but she always did her best for her friends.
It was now almost ten o’clock, and the cafe was nearly empty.
In a secluded corner, Xia Weibao saw Han Luoqi, dressed casually.
She walked over and sat down opposite him.
Seeing her face across the table, astonishment flashed in Han Luoqi’s eyes.
During the day, he actually hadn’t taken a good look at her.
But unexpectedly, this woman truly had the potential to be a disaster.
The entertainment industry might not have much of everything else, but it certainly had no shortage of beauties.
Yet the one beautiful enough to make his heart skip a beat was Xia Weibao, the first.
“What are you looking at me for?”
Xia Weibao’s expression was somewhat cold.
Another one who judged people by their appearance.
She already had no particular fondness for Han Luoqi, and now her impression of him was even worse.
Han Luoqi realized he had lost his composure and hurriedly diverted his gaze outside the window.
Just then, Xia Weibao’s phone made a ding sound, indicating a text message.
It was from Lu Hualiang.
“Do you know who I like? If not, please look back at the first word.”
When she saw this message, Xia Weibao was a bit stunned.
Her brows furrowed slightly, not really understanding his intention.
Then she looked back at the first word, still not quite getting it.
Do you know who I like, you…
She thought it over again, and the face of Her Majesty the Empress suddenly turned red, a touch of shyness creeping in.
The corners of her mouth seemed to be dipped in honey.
Her butterfly-wing eyelashes fluttered, making Han Luoqi’s heart race at the sight.
Such a smile seemed almost enough to make him fall in love.
“Who are you texting? Your boyfriend?”
Han Luoqi asked tentatively.
Apart from being in front of someone she liked, she would never show such a smile.
His question, however, caused Xia Weibao to pause.
She suddenly realized a problem.
Was it Lu Hualiang, or Emperor Xia Liang?
The moment she saw the message, the image that came to her mind wasn’t the suit-wearing Lu Hualiang, but Emperor Xia Liang in his Dragon Robe.
Could it be that subconsciously, she was uncontrollably treating Lu Hualiang as a stand-in for Emperor Xia Liang?
She was suddenly flustered, and her mood worsened.
“What do you want to say?”
Say what you’ve got to say and then leave.
Seeing her sudden change of expression, Han Luoqi felt somewhat wronged.
It was just a question; why did she suddenly turn cold?
He touched his nose; it was her privacy, after all, and it wasn’t his place to pry.
“I feel I need to explain about this afternoon,”
Upon mentioning that, Xia Weibao’s gaze turned cold, tinged with a trace of mockery, “Explain what?”
“I genuinely hadn’t seen the whole thing when it happened, to tell the truth, and it wasn’t meant as a personal attack.”
Whether it was the truth or a purposeful attack, it didn’t matter to her anymore.
After all, he was someone she didn’t know well and would never consider a friend in the future; it wasn’t worth wasting words on.
Han Luoqi was taken aback by her attitude. Was this how she acted?
He was among the hottest leading actors in the entertainment industry, a two-time award winner; countless people were eager to associate with him.
And she was this indifferent?
Feeling snubbed time and again, Han Luoqi was getting a bit annoyed.
“There’s another thing, what’s your relationship with Xu Jiayang?”
At the mention of Xu Jiayang, Xia Weibao finally looked him in the eye.
“He’s the director of ‘Allure’.”
“Really just the director and nothing more?”
