Chapter 349: Chapter 349: Husband Takes Her “Chasing Stars”?
Lin Qi felt a chill run down her spine as Ji Xiuyuan stared at her, causing her to step back slightly and hide behind Huo Tingdong, clearly a bit shy.
Ji Xiuyuan immediately remembered what Huo Tingdong had said.
I heard that the sister-in-law is his little fan. Must maintain composure, can’t let the idol persona collapse, can’t lose the idol baggage!
Ji Xiuyuan managed a restrained smile, “Sister-in-law is really cute.”
Lin Qi muttered to herself: This person is so strange! Staring at her as soon as he arrives.
“Tingdong.”
Outside the door, Qi Lichuan’s voice was heard.
He had also just arrived, having just parked the car.
As he walked in the door, he saw Ji Xiuyuan, furrowed his brows, sized him up, and suddenly recognized him with some distaste: “Why are you here?”
Ji Xiuyuan said: “I’m on holiday, rarely get to rest, had planned to dine with Tingdong, but he had another engagement…”
Qi Lichuan: “So, you insisted on coming here to freeload a meal?”
Ji Xiuyuan: “How can you call it freeload a meal?”
He walked over and hung on Qi Lichuan’s shoulder: “Why are you looking at me with such disdain! Ling Chuan~~~ I haven’t seen you for so long, don’t you miss me?”
Qi Lichuan couldn’t avoid him in time, tried to break free, but Ji Xiuyuan hugged him tightly, Qi Lichuan got goosebumps from his tone: “Can you not get so close to me?”
Ji Xiuyuan used to hang out with Qi Lichuan a lot before his debut, and after debuting, he starred in a BL adaptation drama, which really hit Qi Lichuan’s peeves.
For a straight man of steel like Qi Lichuan, the fact that a good brother made a debut and went to film a BL adaptation drama was something he couldn’t accept at the moment.
He even suspected that Ji Xiuyuan’s orientation must be problematic, else why would he be willing to take on such BL themes?
Suddenly, Lin Qi said: “I think his voice sounds so familiar, I think I’ve heard it somewhere before.”
She couldn’t remember at the moment.
Ji Xiuyuan hesitated!
Isn’t she his fan!
His voice is so distinctive, yet sister-in-law didn’t recognize him, could she be a fake fan!
Huo Tingdong said: “Alright, let’s go!”
He took Lin Qi’s hand and walked her towards the private room.
Qi Lichuan and Ji Xiuyuan followed behind.
At the entrance of the private room.
As Huo Tingdong pushed open the door, the room immediately fell silent.
As they entered the room, all colleagues sat up straight, and as soon as they saw Huo Tingdong, everyone stood up, starting to feel uneasy.
“Mr. Huo!”
“Mrs. Huo…”
Huo Tingdong said: “We’re not at the company now, no need to be so formal.”
Everyone looked at each other, still somewhat nervous.
“Okay…”
“In that case, Mr. Huo, please take a seat first!”
“President Qi, please have a seat too.”
Some colleagues saw Ji Xiuyuan and were surprised for a moment: “This is…”
Ji Xiuyuan smiled: “Ha ha, I am…”
Huo Tingdong said: “He’s a good friend of President Qi.”
With one sentence, he completely distanced Ji Xiuyuan from himself.
Qi Lichuan was stunned for a moment, pondered for a few seconds: “Let me introduce him formally, this is my friend.”
Ji Xiuyuan took off his hat and sunglasses, revealing a face all too familiar to the camera, now exposed to everyone’s view.
For a moment, the room went dead silent again.
Everyone stared at him, dumbfounded!
Isn’t this Chi Junxi, the current hot top-tier celebrity!?
He’s actually a private good friend of President Qi!
Oh my god!
Today, the co-worker whose birthday it is blushed, feeling that happiness came too unexpectedly!
She just wanted to invite Lin Qi to her birthday, but Lin Qi not only invited Mr. Huo and President Qi, she even brought a popular star with them!
The value of her birthday this year is just too high!
“Junxi!”
“It’s actually Junxi!!”
“President Qi actually brought Chi Junxi along! Oh my gosh, I’m so jealous of Xiao Tao! Her birthday is just too blissful!”
“I heard that Xiao Tao is Chi Junxi’s number one fan, even her desktop wallpaper is him!”
“Xiao Tao and Lin Qi are good friends, and Lin Qi is Mrs. Huo, so what big star couldn’t she invite?”
“I don’t know if I should be jealous of Xiao Tao or Lin Qi now!”
“Xiao Tao! Lin Qi is Mrs. Huo, nobody can envy her position!”
“…”
Lin Qi was also stunned.
She didn’t expect that Huo Tingdong would bring Chi Junxi along.
What’s more unexpected is the kind of relationship Huo Tingdong has with Chi Junxi.
Are the two of them childhood friends who grew up together?
Then…
No wonder that day when she joked about wanting him to invest in a movie she’d make, inviting Chi Junxi to play the male lead and to film a kiss scene with him, his face looked so unpleasant!
Could it be, because she said she liked Chi Junxi, Huo Tingdong specifically brought Chi Junxi along?
Lin Qi’s face immediately became embarrassingly red.
When she told Huo Tingdong she was a fan of Chi Junxi, she was just teasing him.
She actually seldom watches dramas or chases after stars. Among the current top four influential celebrities, she only knows of Chi Junxi, so she casually mentioned him, not expecting that he would really invite Chi Junxi over!
However, she simply watched a few episodes of the BL adaptations that Chi Junxi starred in, and didn’t know any of his other works at all!
Huo Tingdong must have told Chi Junxi that she was his fan, and if it’s found out she’s a fake fan, wouldn’t that be supremely embarrassing?
Lin Qi sat down right next to Huo Tingdong.
Ji Xiuyuan originally wanted to sit next to Qi Lichuan but was shooed away: “Can you not sit next to me, please.”
Ji Xiuyuan tactfully sat to the right of Lin Qi.
To avoid the awkwardness of exposing herself as a fake fan of Chi Junxi, Lin Qi kept her head down, avoiding Ji Xiuyuan.
But Ji Xiuyuan was full of curiosity about this legendary sister-in-law!
He really wanted to understand the love story between her and Huo Tingdong!
After pondering for a long time, Ji Xiuyuan was calculating how to broach the topic when several female colleagues suddenly pulled together and ran to his side, asking a bit shyly: “Junxi! We’re all your fans, could we get a photo with you?”
Ji Xiuyuan smiled and was very approachable, “Sure.”
The female colleagues exchanged glances, secretly overjoyed.
Lin Qi immediately stood up to offer her place: “Let me take a photo for you all!”
“Okay!”
Lin Qi immediately got up and moved back three meters, the female colleagues stood blushing next to Ji Xiuyuan, and suddenly, they suggested: “Mr. Huo, President Qi, why don’t you join in the photo too!”
However, Huo Tingdong was not willing to oblige.
He said: “I don’t like being in front of cameras.”
The female colleagues immediately showed disappointed expressions.
Lin Qi said: “Husband, just go with it, otherwise the picture will look too empty.”
With his wife’s command, Huo Tingdong didn’t dare not to comply and obediently moved a bit closer.
Qi Lichuan also didn’t dare to refuse and sat next to Ji Xiuyuan.
The female colleagues requested: “Lin Qi, make sure to turn on the beauty filter!”
Lin Qi “hmm’d” in response.
“Click”.
Lin Qi took a shot with the beauty camera, checked the photo and found that, after turning on the face slimming beauty filter, both Huo Tingdong’s and Ji Xiuyuan’s faces became strange internet celebrity faces.
