Chapter 1545: Chapter 1546: Could it be waiting for Mr. Li

"The taste is not bad." She put down the cup and said happily.

The assistant breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good. I couldn’t find a coffee machine in the lounge, so I had to brew a cup using the available coffee powder. I was worried you wouldn’t be used to this instant coffee."

Chu Xi didn’t know she was drinking instant coffee and frowned disdainfully. But she was in a good mood and wasn’t upset about accidentally drinking cheap coffee. She turned to ask, "I told you to wait at the door. Haven’t they arrived yet?"

The assistant quickly replied, "You told me to wait outside, but I haven’t seen the person you mentioned."

"How could that be? They should have been here by now." Chu Xi’s expression remained calm as she looked up, "Could it be that you stepped away and missed them?"

The assistant quickly waved his hand to explain, "Impossible. Before I left to inquire about the news, I instructed others to wait at the door. If Madame Chu arrives, I would definitely know immediately and wouldn’t miss it!"

Chu Xi’s previously sunny demeanor gradually darkened as she picked up her phone to check the time. It’s been over an hour since she called. It takes at most thirty minutes to drive from Chu Garden to here, even with traffic, she should have arrived.

She got up from the chair, no longer interested in drinking coffee, and holding her phone, said to the assistant, "I’ll wait outside myself."

The assistant was startled, "That’s not really a good idea. There are reporters everywhere outside. If they spot you, they’ll definitely want an interview, which might cause unnecessary commotion."

However, Chu Xi ignored his advice and insisted on going out to wait.

The assistant had no choice but to follow, while messaging Levin to coordinate the deployment of a few security personnel.

The entrance of KT Entertainment was crowded with media vehicles. The screening event had already started, and most of the media people were inside, so there weren’t many people at the entrance.

Chu Xi, in her red V-neck lace dress, was exceptionally eye-catching among the crowd with her fair skin and exquisite makeup.

This drew frequent glances from the receptionist girl.

"Look, look at that pearl necklace on her neck. It’s so beautiful. The pearls are huge and all in dark shades. I used to think only women in their forties or fifties would wear pearls, but it turns out young people can wear them just as well, with such elegance!"

"That depends on who wears them. Try putting a pearl necklace on an ordinary person and see how ugly it looks."

"I don’t think it matters who’s wearing it. That pearl necklace looks extremely expensive; regular people can’t afford it. With jewelry of this caliber, anyone wearing it looks good. If I wore it, I’d look elegant too. But unfortunately, I can’t afford it."

"You guys keep looking at pearl necklaces you can’t afford. Am I the only one curious about why she’s out here?"

"Exactly. The screening event seems to have started; the media and Levin’s CEO are all inside, along with the actors. Why is she outside?"

"Seems like she’s waiting for someone. Don’t know who."

"Could she be waiting for Mr. Li?"

"No way, right?"

"I saw gossip online before saying Chu Xi and Mr. Li once stayed in Lin City for a week, and they were photographed entering and leaving a hotel together. They might be secretly dating."

"That’s impossible. What about Rong Yan? Isn’t she Mr. Li’s girlfriend? Mr. Li has even publicly acknowledged their relationship on social media."

"Hey! Rich people’s relationships are always complicated. They’re not married, and if he dates another woman in private, that’s just how it is. Rong Yan probably knows. She’s smart enough to turn a blind eye. Who would be silly enough to actually stir trouble with a sugar daddy?"
