Chapter 350: Chapter 350: The Iron Tree Finally Blooms After Ten Thousand Years
Huo Tingdong and Ji Xiuyuan both have attractive facial features, which already look great on the native camera. If the beauty filter is applied, their faces look too thin and odd, so she turned off the beauty filter.
Ji Xiuyuan asked, “Sis-in-law, do you want to take a photo with me?”
Huo Tingdong said that Lin Qi is his fan, which is a great opportunity to get closer to his sister-in-law!
Lin Qi said with a smile, “Do you want to take a photo with me?”
Ji Xiuyuan said, “Yes, I do!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt something was off.
Wait a minute.
Isn’t she his fan?
He had only seen his fans begging to take photos with him. Lin Qi’s words sounded odd, as if he had become her little fan boy, begging for a photo with her!
But then he thought—
Isn’t he practically her fan boy!
Please, in their circles, Lin Qi is the only woman Huo Tingdong has ever publicly acknowledged as his girlfriend. She is truly a “rare species”!
Not to mention others, take Qi Lichuan for example. Ji Xiuyuan and Qi Lichuan were classmates from elementary through high school and Qi Lichuan has had at least eight or nine girlfriends according to his count.
After graduating from university and entering Huace, Qi Lichuan’s love life became quite plain.
As for himself, he had a few girlfriends before debuting, and even had a brief romance after becoming a celebrity!
Ji Xiuyuan feels he definitely belongs to the type of men obsessed with love, the kind that feels they’d die without a woman.
But Huo Tingdong is the opposite; he seems disinterested in women, has never publicized a girlfriend, and lacks any dating history.
Ji Xiuyuan always found his orientation quite dubious.
A grown man, especially an adult male, must have some basic physical needs, right?
Especially a man like him, with women continuously longing for him.
Yet Huo Tingdong has remained unattached.
Ji Xiuyuan sometimes feels that it must be because he is too picky. Otherwise, with his status, he could have any woman he beckons.
But he also feels that for a top-tier prince like Huo Tingdong, being picky is totally understandable!
Ji Xiuyuan has always been curious about what kind of woman would catch the eye of a high and mighty crown prince like Huo Tingdong.
Now, he finally has his answer!
The perennially barren iron-tree has finally blossomed!
Ji Xiuyuan is very fond of Lin Qi. He finds her the type whose beauty grows on you. Her face isn’t the trendy melon-seed shape with a pointed chin, but a graceful, oval face with nicely curved eyebrows, eyes that sparkles like the moon when she smiles, a high and naturally straight nose, and distinct contours that radiate a gentle beauty.
This is the woman who has Huo Tingdong completely wrapped around her finger!
Of course, he admires her!
Lin Qi handed her phone to Huo Tingdong, “Husband, help me take a photo with Chi Junxi.”
As she spoke, she hooked Ji Xiuyuan’s arm and looked towards the camera.
Huo Tingdong’s gaze fell on her arm linked with Ji Xiuyuan’s, slightly displeased, “Can you not hook his arm?”
The room suddenly went quiet.
Everyone glanced at Huo Tingdong, then at Lin Qi and Ji Xiuyuan.
Anyone could see that Huo Tingdong was jealous.
Lin Qi immediately let go of her hand.
Huo Tingdong raised his hand, signaling for them to stand further apart, as he saw Ji Xiuyuan nearly sticking to Lin Qi’s face.
He just couldn’t stand the sight of it.
Ji Xiuyuan also noticed that Huo Tingdong was getting jealous, silently letting go of the hand that was around Lin Qi’s shoulder to show his innocence.
Huo Tingdong took one picture somewhat reluctantly, especially with a half-hearted expression.
Lin Qi walked over and took the phone: “Junxi is so photogenic, after all, he’s a big star. It’s different from ordinary people.”
Ji Xiuyuan lowered his voice, “Sister-in-law, call me Xiuyuan.”
Lin Qi was taken aback: “Xiuyuan?”
Ji Xiuyuan nodded, “Chi Junxi is just my stage name, my real name is ‘Ji Xiuyuan’.”
“Okay.”
After dinner, the group set off to go sing at a KTV.
The colleagues booked a presidential suite, with a room charge of 5,000 yuan, which was a painful expense, but considering the distinguished guests such as Huo Tingdong and Qi Lichuan and the big star Chi Junxi, the room couldn’t be shabby.
The presidential suite is divided into two floors and a half with a loft upstairs.
Both levels are equipped with high-quality sofas and a huge LCD screen, resembling a small opera house, with 8 microphones alone.
As soon as Lin Qi entered the room, she curiously looked around, this is the legendary presidential suite!
The level of luxury is simply different, it feels very high-end!
She used to occasionally book a room at the KTV for small gatherings with friends and colleagues to vent work stress with some howling, but compared to a 200 yuan per hour room, the presidential suite costing 5,000 was definitely too expensive!
This was Lin Qi’s first time in such an upscale place.
Huo Tingdong saw her looking around continuously, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, appearing fascinated. His mood also got influenced by her, and he couldn’t help but raise his hand to ruffle her hair: “What are you looking at?”
Lin Qi asked, “Honey, can you sing?”
Huo Tingdong replied, “No.”
Immediately, Ji Xiuyuan intervened, “He’s lying to you, he sings really well.”
Huo Tingdong glared at him.
Lin Qi immediately asked, “Honey, is what he said true? Do you sing really well?”
With Huo Tingdong present, everyone was very reserved.
No one dared to pick a song, nor did anyone dare to grab the microphone.
Qi Lichuan nudged Ji Xiuyuan, “You’re a professional, you should go first.”
Ji Xiuyuan, “…Singing is my job, not my hobby. I’m on holiday now.”
Qi Lichuan said, “Sister-in-law must really want to hear you sing. Didn’t you just boast to me secretly that sister-in-law is your fan?”
Ji Xiuyuan’s face reddened and he immediately covered Qi Lichuan’s mouth, looking towards Huo Tingdong with fear and trembling.
Luckily, Huo Tingdong wasn’t paying attention to Qi Lichuan, so he didn’t hear anything.
Ji Xiuyuan glared at him, “Can you not talk nonsense? The fact that sister-in-law is my fan was incidentally brought up by Tingdong and me! Where did I boast?”
In the car, Ji Xiuyuan indeed bragged about it heavily.
Although he’s not short of fans, his fan being his sister-in-law excited him immensely!
When he learned from Huo Tingdong that his sister-in-law was his fan, he was thrilled beyond measure.
Qi Lichuan said, “Why, just now on the road, weren’t you quite smug? You said you’re the male god in sister-in-law’s heart, and…”
“Ah!!” Ji Xiuyuan choked him, “Can you lower your voice? If Tingdong hears this, he will definitely kill me!”
Qi Lichuan was being choked so hard he could barely breathe, finally pushing him away, he glared fiercely at Ji Xiuyuan, “Tingdong wouldn’t be so petty!”
