Chapter 230: Desperate

Chapter 230: Desperate

Gong Zhi had not gone to the restaurant upstairs yet. Since Shen Xi mentioned that she had someone to introduce to Gong Zhi, Gong Zhi thought it would not be polite to be there before her. Hence, Gong Zhi waited for Shen Xi to come along.

“First Snow Hotel was named after the owner’s dream crush,” Gong Zhi gossiped with Shen Xi. “The owner of this hotel first met her during the first snowfall. Isn’t it romantic?”

Shen Xi nodded. It was romantic indeed. Shen Xi nodded and probed for more, “Was it a happy-ever-after for the owner and the girl of his dreams?”

With an expectant look on her face, Gong Zhi shook her head. “I’m not sure about that, but it’s beautiful, no? In every hotel he established, he would vacate the first, second, and 23rd floors to personally furnish these places and reserve them for his crush.”

Shen Xi thought it was interesting and expressed her mixed feelings. “The hotel is huge. It’s a waste since he and his girl won’t occupy that many rooms.”

Gong Zhi laughed at her. “Young lady, you’re too young to know what love is. If any man does that for me, I’ll marry him right away!”

Shen Xi retorted, “What if he’s ugly?”

Gong Zhi shook her head amid chuckles. “Looks are only skin deep when it comes to men. You’d understand once you’re in love. The height, weight, looks, and personality don’t matter when you meet the right man. He is who he is.”

Curling her lips, Shen Xi bobbed her head and hummed in acknowledgment.

That statement was as real as it got. The moment she met that person, she knew it was him right away.

Gong Zhi reached out and tapped her head before suggestively asking her. “What are you thinking about? Look at that dreamy smile of yours. Are you dating already?”

The girl was glowing when she smiled, and her eyes were as radiant as the stars in the night sky.

Shen Xi always presented herself as a mature, poised, and sophisticated young lady before Gong Zhi. This was the first time Gong Zhi saw her looking so tender and sweet.

That was more like it. A girl at the tender age of seventeen should laugh freely, love deeply, and live indulgently.

Shen Xi shook her head. “No.”

Gong Zhi ensued with a question, “So you have a boy you like?”

Keeping mum, Shen Xi curled a gooey smile but was unable to hide the sweetness in her eyes.

Love was definitely in the air. Gong Zhi thought this was a great age for teenagers to experience love. Biting into an underripe fruit would bring in a mouthful of sweetness and sourness, just like the purest form of love.

The pair took the lift down and saw Li Jingran and her manager, Li He entering the restaurant.

Gong Zhi whispered in Shen Xi’s ear. “Li Jingran put the word out that you lend the ‘Feathered Prism Illusion Dress’ to her. Is it true?”

She might be close to Shen Xi, but Gong Zhi would never go so far as to pry into the girl’s personal business, apart from mumbling to herself.

“No.” Shen Xi shook her head while reflecting the chilling taunt in her eyes.

Gong Zhi was relieved. She knew that it was unlikely as Xixi and Li Jingran did not see eye to eye. There was no way Xixi would loan Li Jingran the gown for her to be the star of the show.

If her guess were right, Li Lingran must be desperate and would most likely wear a knockoff. Knockoffs were a thing in showbiz after all.

Well, Li Jingran had another thing coming. Since the owner of the gown was also walking the red carpet, Li Jingran would only be mortified when it was revealed that she was wearing a fake.
