Chapter 38: Business Trip

Shen Yue stared at Tang Qiaoqiao with scorching eyes. She was wearing a light green windbreaker. It might be because she had just opened her braid and draped it casually behind her head; her messy hair added a bit of casual beauty.

Obviously, they hadn't seen each other for just half a month. He could see the tidbits shared by the crew on Weibo every day, but Shen Yue's eyes couldn’t be removed from her, as if he had not seen enough.

Tang Qiaoqiao talked and laughed with the fans as she walked. She seemed to be in a good mood.

Maybe it was because she was about to go up the elevator, the fans were very reluctant to send her off. They couldn't help but want to get closer to their idol. Who knows who rushed forward first, but Tang Qiaoqiao was squeezed.

"Don't squeeze. Keep the order." Someone among the fans yelled.

"Qiaoqiao, I love you." A mad male voice yelled desperately. He was in the outer circle and kept trying to squeeze himself towards Tang Qiaoqiao.

The other fans were unhappy. They were worried that Tang Qiaoqiao would be frightened, so they raised their hands to protect her.

Tang Qiaoqiao didn't feel any discomfort, and the scene quickly returned to calmness.

However, Shen Yue's eyes fired. Who was the man who put his hands behind Tang Qiaoqiao's waist?

He closely followed Tang Qiaoqiao like a holy guardian. When the fans were in a commotion just now, he spoke to maintain order, and everyone seemed to listen to him.

But based on his clothes, he didn’t look like a bodyguard.

Tang Qiaoqiao stopped and looked around at the fans. Everyone looked at her with a smile, admiration, and joy in their eyes.

However, she inexplicably felt a bitter gaze staring at her, making her feel like there was a  fire on her back.

'Must be an illusion. I must be too tired from filming today.'

"You should go back quickly. Don't stay out at night. Girls must go in groups, pay attention to safety." Tang Qiaoqiao walked to the elevator, and the fans could not follow her anymore.

She paused and then said to Zheng Gongju, "Uh, Mr. Little Whip, you also go back soon. You are even less safe."

Zheng Gongju's heart was rippling again. 'She cared about me.'

The fans reluctantly bid farewell to Tang Qiaoqiao, waving their hands until the elevator doors were shut.

Her sugar bunnies were really cute.

Fang Yuan sent Tang Qiaoqiao to the door of her room. Hearing the sound of clicking and locking the door from the opposite room, she whispered, "The opposite room is also occupied."

On Tang Qiaoqiao's floor, there were only a few rooms. The room opposite hers had been empty before.

Tang Qiaoqiao glanced thoughtfully at the opposite room. Although the door was closed tightly, her instinct made her feel that there was someone behind the peephole.

Fang Yuan asked puzzledly, "What's the matter?"

Tang Qiaoqiao shook her head. She had been a bit suspicious today. It seemed that she had to take a bath and take a good rest.

Li Ji hid behind the door and watched Tang Qiaoqiao open the door through the peephole. The moment he met her gaze just now, he felt as if she had seen through him. His heart was about to pop out of his chest.

While Tang Qiaoqiao was talking to fans in front of the elevator, he and Shen Yue went upstairs from the elevator on the other end.

"Boss, she has already returned to her room. She is alone."

Li Ji wanted to cry without tears. He was a good young man with appropriate three views. He was a dignified successor of socialism. Why did he do things like peeping at women? He had become a notorious bastard. If it spread, how could he find a girlfriend?

The real bastard fan was obviously not him.

Li Ji used to think that Shen Yue was purely star chasing. At most, he was fascinated for a while, and it would pass. Unexpectedly, he, a guy with big eyebrows and big eyes, also started illegitimate stalking. He actually chased the woman into the hotel where she was staying, got her room number, and moved to the other side.

The way Li Ji now looked at Shen Yue had changed from a recluse nerd to an idiot.

'No, this is really bad.'

Li Ji moved to Shen Yue's side and made a suggestion, "Boss, this is not the way to go. She doesn't know you at all. Would you like me to arrange a banquet for you or something?"

Although Shen Yue was now in a wheelchair, he was a dignified son of the Shen Group and the president of Aoxing Investment. With such a worthy personality, he could find any female star to accompany him as long as he spoke out.

"Arrange a banquet? What do you want to do? Use the unspoken rules to add pressure to a female celebrity?" Shen Yue glanced at him coldly, "When did you learn this sort of messy thing?"

'Isn't it you who wanted to chase a female celebrity, brother?'

Li Ji dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak. He said, "How dare I? I just want to find an opportunity to let you know her. It's better than following her sneakily like this. If it spread, your face wouldn’t look good."

Shen Yue glared at him. "If I want to meet a woman, will I need you to arrange it?"

"Yes, you don't need it," Li Ji whispered, "The most important thing is you are chasing her into her hotel, but she didn't pay attention to you from start to finish."

"Li Ji, I suddenly remembered that we were opening a branch in Africa. Maybe you could be the general manager there. How about it?" Shen Yue gloomily spoke.

"I was wrong. Boss, don't drive me away. I can't bear to leave you." Li Ji was frightened and wanted to kneel. Please don't send him away to accompany lions. He hadn’t found a girlfriend yet.

"Let's see." Shen Yue turned around and only showed his cold back and cold head.

Li Ji: Danger.

After Tang Qiaoqiao went back to her room, she took a good warm bath. After relaxing, she sat on the bed with her legs crossed and looked at the gifts given by her fans. Because she had repeatedly told fans not to give her any expensive things, most of the gifts they gave were handmade.

She picked up a key chain made by a female fan. The three characters of her name "Tang Qiaoqiao" were carved on it. This font was familiar, the same one she saw on the poster today. It seems that the same person wrote it, and it was used by other fans to make a keychain, which showed their dedication.

Tang Qiaoqiao liked these three words very much. When she was about to hang it on her key ring, she suddenly received a call from Dr. Liu.

"Dr. Liu, calling me so late, is there something wrong with Shen Yue?"

Dr. Liu was very angry on the other side. "There is indeed something. He didn't tell me anything, but he flew on a business trip."

"Shen Yue went on a business trip?" Tang Qiaoqiao was surprised.

"It seems that you don't know. I had to check up on him again today, but he ran away," Doctor Liu said bitterly. "I thought this kid would change his nature after he got married. I didn't expect that he would still be so willful. Tell him, if he doesn’t cooperate well next time, I really won't care about him."

"Okay, don't worry, I will tell him." Tang Qiaoqiao had to comfort the old man first.

Tang Qiaoqiao hung up the phone, bit her lip, and thought for a while. Was there anything so important for Shen Yue to fly away so suddenly?

She immediately dialed a video call to Shen Yue. It rang for a long time before connecting.

"Where are you?" As soon as Shen Yue's avatar appeared in the video, Tang Qiaoqiao asked this question.

Shen Yue looked at the woman in the video. He felt like he had suddenly lost consciousness for a short time.

Tang Qiaoqiao was wearing long-sleeved pajamas printed with carrots and a fluffy hairband in the shape of bunny ears. There was a light blush on her cheeks that showed that she had just finished taking a shower.

She really looked like a sweet and soft rabbit.

Suddenly he forgot the true face of Tang Qiaoqiao because of her soft and cute appearance.

"Why aren’t you speaking? Why did you suddenly go on a business trip? You haven't told me before."

"Do I have to report everything to you?" Shen Yue replied stiffly to conceal the restlessness in his heart.

"No, but you have to tell Dr. Liu at least. You left so suddenly, and he was very angry."

"It's urgent. I'll explain it to him."

Tang Qiaoqiao asked curiously, "What is so urgent? You are usually reluctant to leave Beijing."

Shen Yue's eyes drifted around. "You don't understand. There were some things in the company."

Unknowingly, he now no longer wanted Tang Qiaoqiao to know that he was visiting her set.

Li Ji's heart was now like being scratched by a cat.

Just now, Shen Yue's cell phone rang suddenly. He picked it up and then slid the wheelchair around in a panic, as if he was calming himself down, and smoothed his hair.

Then he answered the phone slowly. Obviously, it was a video call. Unfortunately, he put on a headset, and he couldn't hear the voice on the other side.

At first, he thought it was the old lady. But looking at the boss' little nervous expression, it would never be his own mother.

'Hey, how to say this. Shen Yue's tone became a little soft.'

'After knowing him for such a long time, when can I hear this tone from Boss Shen's mouth?'

Li Ji pretended to be holding a teacup. But in fact, he wanted to go over and see what was so scary. However, he did not dare.

Shen Yue felt that he might really be crazy. Bit by bit, he was affected by this woman.

His confidence tonight disappeared the moment he received her video. call

The woman was still chattering on the other side of the phone. "Next time you are going on a business trip, you must tell Dr. Liu. It is not easy to invite him back."

Shen Yue replied perfunctorily.

Tang Qiaoqiao suddenly moved closer to the screen. Her small face zoomed in, and Shen Yue could even see her slightly raised eyelashes clearly. His heart skipped a beat.

She asked, "What hotel are you living in? Why is the layout of the room so similar to mine?"

Shen Yue was stunned when he heard this.

He counted thousands of possibilities but left out this one.

He turned the camera calmly and pointed the phone lens at a white wall behind him.

"Everyone is copying each other in hotel design nowadays. It is too low level." Shen Yue said righteously as if he was heartbroken for the domestic hotel industry.

"Perhaps so." Tang Qiaoqiao just asked casually and quickly put her doubts behind her.

She continued to ask, "Did you have a good meal over there?"

"Yes, I just finished dinner with a few bosses." Shen Yue looked calm, completely ignoring Li Ji's dumbfounded expression.

'Talking nonsense with your eyes open!'

"Really? I don't believe it." Tang Qiaoqiao seemed to see at a glance that he was lying. After all, he had a long history of skipping meals.

At this moment, Shen Yue heard Tang Qiaoqiao's door was rapidly knocked from the video.

"What's the matter?" Shen Yue's heart raised.

Tang Qiaoqiao got up from the bed, stood up, and the phone was still on.

"Someone is knocking on the door. I'll go out and have a look."

Shen Yue said immediately, "Don't open the door casually. Who would knock on the door so vigorously at this late hour."

Tang Qiaoqiao calmly said, "It's okay, I will pay attention."

She lightly walked to the door, but the knock on the door had stopped. She stuck to the door and listened to the movement outside, and then opened the door. There was no one outside, but a letter was left under the door.

She looked around suspiciously, then picked up the envelope. When she opened it, several photos fell out.

When she saw the photo, her heartbeat surged.

The content of these photos was all her. There was her when waiting for the filming, her when resting on the recliner, her talking to other actors, and even her before entering the toilet, etc. The backside of the photo was also full of words of an explicit confession.

From this perspective, it was definitely a sneak shot.

Someone had been taking pictures of her secretly these days, and she didn't know it!

No wonder she always felt weird today, as if someone was watching her.

Tang Qiaoqiao was so angry that she wanted to break the ground because a damn stalker maniac took sneak photos.

"What's the matter?" Shen Yue's anxious voice came from her phone.

"It's okay. There is a cockroach that needs to be crushed. I'll hang up first." Tang Qiaoqiao hung up the phone in a frantic manner and then went straight to the opposite room.

As soon as someone stayed in the opposite room today, someone knocked on her door at night. It was strange and suspicious.

When Shen Yue was feeling anxious about the phone, he suddenly heard a knock on the door. Li Ji looked through the peephole and said, "It's Tang Qiaoqiao."

Shen Yue hurriedly signaled Li Ji to send her away quickly then hid in another room.

Li Ji took a few deep breaths and half-opened the door.

"Miss, what's the matter?"

'Damn, it was the first time I saw Tang Qiaoqiao up close. She is so beautiful. No wonder the boss was so fascinated.'

Tang Qiaoqiao was expressionless. "Did you hear anything on the other side just now?"

Li Ji: "No, I've been sleeping just now. I heard nothing, didn't see anything."

His answer was so fast. It was even more suspicious!

Tang Qiaoqiao peeked into the room, but Li Ji turned sideways to block her sight and smiled. "I'm the only one in the room."

Tang Qiaoqiao paused, "I'm sorry, excuse me."

Li Ji bent the corner of his mouth. "It's okay."

At this moment, Fang Yuan also walked out of the next room when she heard the movement. She saw the photo in Tang Qiaoqiao's hand and was so scared. She said anxiously, "This is a pervert. Do you want to call the police?"

Tang Qiaoqiao has calmed down. "Don't worry, that person must not have gone far. He may be watching my reaction."

She glanced at Li Ji, who was watching the show, with suspicion.

At this time, a strange voice came from the stairwell.

Tang Qiaoqiao rushed over and saw a man wearing a hat running down quickly.

"Stop." Tang Qiaoqiao shouted sharply.

The man ran faster when he heard her words.

Sure enough, he is the ghost.

"You are the pervert, don't run," Tang Qiaoqiao chased him. Seeing that the man was about to escape into another corridor, she picked up a broom leaning on the corner and slammed it on the back of the man's head.

As the wooden broomstick slammed into the back of the man's head with a "clang", the man was knocked on the door by the strong impact. He fell to the ground and fainted.

The hotel staff rushed to the security and found through surveillance that this man sneaked up on the floor where Tang Qiaoqiao was and stuffed the envelope under her door. The hotel temporarily transferred the man to the security office, waiting for the police to deal with him.

The whole process took less than half an hour. On the way back, Tang Qiaoqiao felt a lingering fear in Fang Yuan's heart. "Sister Qiaoqiao, you ran too fast. You scared me to death."

Tang Qiaoqiao squeezed her fist. "To deal with this kind of pervert, taking pictures of women, you can't be soft."

Fang Yuan finally knew what kind of artist she was following.

She felt safe.

When Tang Qiaoqiao returned to her floor, she found that the man opposite was also peering at the door.

Li Ji's eyes changed when he saw Tang Qiaoqiao. Just now, she rushed out, chasing the man. Shen Yue was also about to rush up to chase her in his wheelchair in a hurry.

No matter what, his wheelchair couldn’t go in the stairwell at all.

So Li Ji pressed Shen Yue down, rushed down to see the situation, and happened to witness Tang Qiaoqiao stun a big man with a broom.

He thought she was a small white flower, but he didn't expect her to be an overlord flower.

He wondered if the boss discovered the truth, would  he still be fascinated by her.

Tang Qiaoqiao walked to the opposite side. "Sir, haven't you slept yet?"

Li Ji smiled. "No, I want to see if your matter has been resolved."

Tang Qiaoqiao nodded. "There are so many perverts these days. You have to be extra careful outside."

"Yes."

"Boys also have to be careful outside."

"Yes." Li Ji was a little puzzled.

"Do you really live alone?"

"Hmm, alone." Li Ji nodded frantically.

"Oh," Tang Qiaoqiao turned to leave but suddenly turned around and pushed his door open. "You lied. There is obviously a movement inside."

Li Ji was caught off guard and was pushed in by Tang Qiaoqiao. He hurriedly said, "Oh, what's the matter with you? How can you enter other people's rooms without authorization?"

"You look nervous, your eyes are erratic, and you are neatly dressed, but you said you were sleeping. You are lying. Are you an accomplice of that person?" Tang Qiaoqiao walked fast, and while she spoke, she met the dumbfounded Shen Yue inside the room.

Tang Qiaoqiao blinked: ???

Deathly silence at the scene!

Li Ji hurriedly stepped forward to stand in front of Shen Yue and said angrily, "Don't you think that you are a great star, and you can do whatever you want?"

Tang Qiaoqiao was stunned and pushed him away. She said, "You... Why are you here?"

"Ahem," Shen Yue didn't dare to meet her eyes and said with a guilty conscience, "I'm on a business trip."

Li Ji was dumbfounded in turn. "You know each other?"

No one told him.

Tang Qiaoqiao repeatedly asked, "Why didn't you tell me when you came here on a business trip? Did you know that I live across from you? Why didn't you come to me?"

Shen Yue was speechless when he was questioned, and he felt suffocated for a while. He could only say a few words, "It's just a coincidence."

"Such a coincidence, I don't believe it," Tang Qiaoqiao squatted in front of him, "No wonder I said that your room is so similar to mine. But you said they were plagiarizing."

Tang Qiaoqiao suspiciously, " Your urgent matter was not coming to visit my set, right?"

"Don't be delusional," Shen Yue's voice is like a cat with its tail stomped on, "Ask Li Ji. I am here to talk about cooperation projects, right?"

Li Ji roared inwardly. Could someone tell him what is going on?

With a bitter face, under the silent threat of Shen Yue's "Africa" glare, he spoke against his will, "We were really here to talk about cooperation, and we just happened to live in this hotel."

Tang Qiaoqiao was still dubious.

Li Ji couldn't help it anymore and raised his hand to ask, "Can you two take the time to tell me, what is your relationship?"

Tang Qiaoqiao glanced at Shen Yue and raised the corner of her mouth. "You have to ask your boss. It's up to him to tell you."

Li Ji immediately looked at Shen Yue eagerly. Thinking that his boss and this female celebrity had actually hooked up, he felt energetic.

Shen Yue looked at his curious eyes and sighed helplessly, "I'm married."

Li Ji was stunned. "Married? With whom?"

Shen Yue and Tang Qiaoqiao looked at him like a fool.

He suddenly understood.

The boss is married!

The wife is Tang Qiaoqiao!

The boss is not a pervert!

It's just because his wife is here!

Li Ji received too much information in his mind tonight, and he couldn't process it all at once.

He had a hundred thousand "why" in his heart at this moment, but now was not the time. He was a big light bulb who had to retreat as soon as possible.

"Boss, sister-in-law, talk slowly. I will leave this room for you."

When lovers hadn’t met for a long time, they would be like newlyweds.
