The CEO’s Villainess Childhood Friend (Web Novel)
Chapter 38: Meeting Face to Face (5)

In a moment, everyone’s stares turned towards Qiao Moyu. Even Ye Peicheng, who had always remained indifferent, looked at her direction with slight curiosity in his eyes.

“There is a poem that says: Spring water roll through the fields, Summer clouds curl into mystical peaks, Autumn moons shimmer and shine, At the peak of winter sits a lone pine.”

Qiao Moyu replied to the reporter, her expression neither humble nor prideful: “So I think that Zi Yan is beautiful, the same way certain people favor spring and summer; I also think that Chu Yue is attractive, just like how other people prefer autumn and winter. Whoever is more beautiful depends on one’s personal preference, what else can I say?”

Her voice carried some charm, but the calmness she exhibited when speaking had a hint of coldness. The reporter was surprised at how a young woman like her, who only recently joined the entertainment circle, was able to skillfully defuse the embarrassing situation. She was able to evade the hidden trap with her language.

On the other side, Ye Peicheng’s brow raised slightly after hearing Qiao Moyu’s response. Of the different sides of her he has seen, which one was this girl’s true self?

Is it her frankness when she was taking pictures for the photoshoot? Or her foolishness when she stopped his car in the rain? Is it the state she enters once she begins acting? Or is her true self the one right now, where she reveals a certain sharpness and wisdom?

For the first time in his life, he took a second glance at a person and felt a desire to know a woman better.

Afterwards, the reporter asked plenty of questions, mostly directed at Ye Peicheng, but he naturally defused all of the ‘traps’ with his tact.

Eventually, a reporter came to Xing Wanshuang’s side and asked, “Wanshuang, it seems that there’s a press conference on the other side for the drama ‘Xing Hai.’ Your brother accompanied his girlfriend there instead of coming here. Do you feel jealous?”

Xing Wanshuang showed a bright and kind smile: “Sister Huan and I have a great relationship. It was my suggestion for my brother to accompany her.”

Just this sentence revealed how close her relationship was to her future sister-in-law, and it also displayed how immensely generous she was.

But as soon as her words were spoken, a common erupted from both within and outside the crowd.

The fans separated down the middle and made way for the newcomers.

Xing Yichen, who wore a black suit, walked slowly towards the stage with one hand in his pocket and the other carrying a bouquet of flowers.

It was seldom for fans to see Mr. Xing himself. At this moment, they could see the dignity of a Male God who walked straight out of a finance magazine. Their eyes lit up with excitement. Some even marveled: He’s more handsome in person than his magazine photos or his appearance on TV!’

Xing Yichen went to the edge of the stage and went up the stairs step by step before arriving at Xing Wanshuang’s side.

He smiled gracefully at his sister and gently gave her the bouquet of tulips in his hand.

The fans enthusiastically exclaimed below the stage: “General Xing is so handsome! Xing sister is definitely happy!”

“Yes, Xing Yichen showers his sister with lots of love!”

“Don’t you think that Xing Yichen’s and Film Emperor Ye’s outfits match well?”

“Yes, these two handsome guys are so eye-catching!”

“It looks like Ye Peicheng is more handsome. I just love his looks!”

“Xing Yichen isn’t bad either. I think it’s just as that beautiful girl said earlier, each one has its own merits!”
