Chapter 563: Chapter 302_3
Although this wasn’t a particularly amusing incident, when Shen Jingxiu heard Wenyan’s undisguised laughter, he couldn’t help but laugh along a couple of times.
However, Wenyan hadn’t finished speaking.
"And also, I thought it was funny enough that a taxi stopped by the road to watch the commotion here, but to my surprise, there were several delivery guys’ electric scooters parked next to mine.
The delivery guys even ran to the front line of the onlookers. I saw two guys in delivery uniforms holding their phones high up and filming. Oh my, I just couldn’t take it. I think this is definitely going to be on the local news tomorrow.
No, no, no, it must have already become a joke spread on the internet by now."
Shen Jingxiu on the other end of the phone lightly raised an eyebrow.
Talking about the incident going viral online as a joke, she probably didn’t know that her outing to the opera with a male friend had already caused a buzz on the internet.
But seeing her laugh so freely and heartily before him, Shen Jingxiu suddenly let go of his thoughts.
She wouldn’t laugh like this when she’s watching an opera with a friend, would she?
"Tell the driver to head back."
"Right, right, the police have already taken those who were fighting away; it’s indeed time to disperse."
"Why don’t you find a place nearby and sit down for a drink," Shen Jingxiu suddenly changed his mind, "I’ll come and pick you up right now."
Without any particular reason, Shen Jingxiu suddenly wanted to see Wenyan. He couldn’t wait for her to take a taxi back; he just wanted to pick her up himself.
Wenyan outright refused: "That’s not necessary, it’s too much trouble. The taxi driver is back, we’re about to set off."
"But it’s too late now, I’m not at ease with you taking a taxi."
"It’s okay, it really is too late today, so I won’t go back to the villa. Instead, I’ll stay at my downtown apartment."
"..." Shen Jingxiu became silent in an instant, a great sense of loss surging in his heart.
After a few seconds, he found his voice again: "Alright. By the way, was the opera good?"
"Amazing! It was so incredible, I have to say it again, thanks for the ticket."
"You’re welcome. If there’s another stage play you want to see in the future, just come to me directly; I’ve got the tickets covered."
"You said it!"
"A gentleman’s word is his bond. Just remember to come to me because I don’t know what you like to watch. Maybe you should just make a list for me." n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
Shen Jingxiu didn’t want to let anyone else take the place by Wenyan’s side anymore.
"Next time I will accompany you to watch."
"Well, I have a lot to watch, do you really have time with your busy schedule? I can handle tickets myself if I can get them, and I’ll come to you if I can’t."
"You don’t have to be so formal with me."
"I know. Oh, big brother, my assistant has been sending me messages; it might be something important. Let’s talk later, okay?"
"I know what your assistant is contacting you about." It was nearly eleven o’clock now, and when she said "let’s talk later," it practically meant they wouldn’t, but Shen Jingxiu was not yet ready to hang up the phone.
"??" Wenyan was puzzled, "How could you know that? It’s impossible."
"Don’t believe me?" Shen Jingxiu chuckled, "Then let me tell you."
"I’m all ears."
"You and your friend were spotted by netizens after the opera, I’m not wrong, am I?"
Wenyan immediately realized: "So the netizens posted about me and my friend online, right? And because my friend is a man, the rumors on the internet are starting that I’m in a relationship again?"
"Correct."
"I knew this would happen."
"And you still took a photo with the netizens?"
"What’s wrong with taking a photo? My friend and I are clear of conscience; it’s just some marketing accounts that like to stir up trouble. Actually, the netizens aren’t really the ones to talk nonsense. Everyone who came up for a photo was very polite; they kept a decent distance during the photo and didn’t come up to bother us. It’s those rhythm-drivers who are truly hateful, the ones who love to make mountains out of molehills, able to weave tales of complex love and hate from just one blurry photo."
"Mhm," Shen Jingxiu heard the words ’clear of conscience,’ "So he’s not your boyfriend?"
"No."
