120. Chapter 120: Moods Like an Elevator

!!!

Hearing that Yan Yu had arrived, Luo Xixi's heart suddenly gave two heavy thumps.

She hurriedly checked her watch again.

The five-minute limit she had set for herself had not yet passed.

Could this be fate?

"..."

Sheng Yanqi noticed Luo Xixi's gaze also drifting toward the entrance, clearly looking at Yan Yu. He felt an indescribable, subtle sensation in his heart and said sourly, "What? Do you like Yan Yu too?"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Luo Xixi turned back to look at Sheng Yanqi and asked, puzzled, "Why are you asking that?"

Sheng Yanqi shoved his hands into his trouser pockets and said with a feigned air of indifference, "I've watched your Wilderness Survival variety show. Aren't you two quite close? He's always acting with you; don't you feel a spark?"

"Acting together means feeling a spark? What kind of ridiculous logic is that?"

Luo Xixi said, "I'm standing right next to you right now, does that mean I have to like you?"

!!!!

Hearing Luo Xixi say this, Sheng Yanqi was nearly infuriated to death.

This woman!

Why does she love to diss him so much?

Even if his attitude toward her was bad at the Recognition Banquet last time, she was holding a grudge for too long!

Sheng Yanqi took a breath and asked again, "So, do you like Yan Yu or not?"

Luo Xixi blinked and retorted, "That's my private business, why should I tell you?"

Sheng Yanqi: "!!!!"

Is this Luo Xixi trying to be the death of him?

Just then.

Yan Yu finally walked into the hall. His gaze swept precisely and calmly toward Luo Xixi's direction. Seeing her chatting with Sheng Yanqi, he suddenly felt a bit annoyed.

This damn girl.

She didn't even know to come coax him after making him angry, and now she was entangled with another man. She wouldn't really be planning to play coy with Sheng Yanqi for the sake of a mission, would she?

Yan Yu naturally knew that Luo Xixi's plot required her to increase her Favorability Value with Sheng Yanqi, but this wasn't a scene he wanted to see. That was why he hadn't wanted to come here, but to be safe, he came anyway.

And ended up seeing a scene that made him angry.

Is Luo Xixi trying to be the death of him?!

Luo Xixi felt a direct, burning gaze fixed upon her. She immediately followed the line of sight and saw Yan Yu looking at her, but the moment she looked back, he turned his head and walked toward Sheng Laoyezi to offer his birthday greetings.

Seeing Luo Xixi's eyes practically glued to Yan Yu, Sheng Yanqi couldn't help but say coldly, "Still not admitting you like him? Your eyeballs are about to fall onto that man."

Luo Xixi didn't understand; why was this person so fond of being snide toward her?

According to the plot, wasn't he supposed to be cold and indifferent toward her? Why was he constantly pestering her?

Luo Xixi wasn't without a temper, either. Having been needled like this, she naturally had to snap back. She raised an eyebrow at Sheng Yanqi and said, "That's right! I do like Yan Yu, is that not allowed? Who are you to care!"

"You!"

Seeing Luo Xixi admit it so bluntly, Sheng Yanqi choked, not knowing what to do, and could only glare fiercely at her.

But as luck would have it.

The words Luo Xixi said to spite Sheng Yanqi were heard by Yan Yu, who had just finished greeting Sheng Laoyezi and walked over.

The man's previously dark face instantly brightened like spring. He cleared his throat and said in a clear, crisp voice, "I hope I'm not interrupting you two?"

Sheng Yanqi was fuming. Seeing Yan Yu take the initiative to come over, he said with a forced smile, "Sorry, you actually are interrupting..."

But before he could finish, Luo Xixi cut him off: "No!"

"!!"

Sheng Yanqi glared at Luo Xixi in anger.

But did Luo Xixi care?

She did not.

Luo Xixi walked over to Yan Yu's side and whispered, "Let's go somewhere with fewer people to talk. I'll head over first, and then you can follow slowly."

After all, Yan Yu was a big star in this world and was the center of attention wherever he went. Just like now, Luo Xixi could feel many gazes directed toward them, making it inconvenient to talk.

Who would have thought, Yan Yu just chuckled, and then, in full view of everyone, grabbed Luo Xixi's wrist and walked toward the balcony.

"Hey!!!!"

Luo Xixi was shocked by Yan Yu's actions.

Did this person not care about other people's gazes at all? But she did!!

Sheng Yanqi hadn't expected Yan Yu to suddenly grab Luo Xixi's hand and take her away. He hurriedly blocked Yan Yu and asked, "Mr. Yan, where are you taking Luo Xixi?"

Yan Yu curled the corner of his mouth at Sheng Yanqi and said leisurely, "Didn't Xixi say she wanted to go somewhere with fewer people? I'm taking her there now. As for you, Young Master Sheng, could you stop getting in our way?"

"..."

Sheng Yanqi knew he had no standing to stop them. He could only force himself to step aside, then stared fixedly at Yan Yu with a warning in his eyes.

Yan Yu found Sheng Yanqi's reaction amusing, but he didn't provoke him further. Holding Luo Xixi's hand, he walked straight out of the hall.

Once on the balcony.

Luo Xixi pulled her hand away from Yan Yu, glanced back into the hall, and said, "I'm telling you, are you unaware of your current status? You're a big star. Dragging a woman's hand in public like that, aren't you afraid of hitting the trending topics?"

Yan Yu shrugged and laughed, "What's the big deal? Can't a star have a private life? I'm not exactly an idol-type star anyway; even if I date, the fans can't interfere. How about we just officially announce our relationship? Then you won't have to be so nervous anymore."

"..."

Luo Xixi looked at Yan Yu with an expression that clearly said, "Is there something wrong with your brain?"

It was clear that when this person first arrived, he had looked displeased and unhappy, but for some unknown reason, after greeting Sheng Laoyezi, his mood had improved upon coming over.

"What? You don't want to make our relationship official?"

Yan Yu asked Luo Xixi again.

Luo Xixi was speechless, "Are you okay? What benefit would I get from making our relationship official with you?"

Yan Yu blinked and said earnestly, "That way we could share resources; even if Sheng Tinglan wants to smear you later, I could use my own public relations power to help you."

"Aren't you already using your public relations power to help me right now? Is there a difference?"

Luo Xixi asked suspiciously.

"..."

Yan Yu was at a loss for words; he frowned and glared at her, asking indignantly, "Didn't you already admit in front of Sheng Tinglan that you like me? Then isn't it only natural for us to make our relationship official?"

Luo Xixi was speechless once again and explained, "I was just saying that out of anger at the time, because that person kept being sarcastic and asking if I had feelings for you. I was annoyed to death, so I just admitted it in front of him to stop him from going on about it."

"Heh..."

Upon hearing the truth, the smile on Yan Yu's face collapsed once again.

He should have known.

He shouldn't have held any expectations for this stubborn girl; with her thick-headed nature, how could she possibly truly think she liked him?
