Fog Returns to the Capital

Chapter 73 Darling, You Should Worry About Yourself

Zhou Jinghuai looked up at Li Wu, his dark, deep eyes as unfathomable as an ink sea, with an indescribable and unfathomable emotion in them.

"Come here." A few seconds later, Zhou Jinghuai said in a deep voice.

Hear the words.

Li Wu gently lifted her skirt and walked towards Zhou Jinghuai without any hesitation.

She moved gently with her steps.

Layers of sheer fabric swayed beneath the skirt, resembling flawless white rose petals. Tiny, sparkling diamonds scattered like countless stars across the Milky Way.

She walked towards him.

He was the only one I could see.

His eyebrows and eyes were curved like the bright moon, shining all the moonlight on him alone.

……

Li Wu had just approached.

Zhou Jinghuai grabbed her slender white wrist, and with a gentle tug, the girl, as graceful as the moon, fell into his arms.

"All go out."

A deep, gentle voice fell.

Hear the sound.

The housekeeper, Aunt Wu, and several maids who were specifically responsible for tidying up the dressing room nodded slightly to the elegant and refined man sitting on the sofa, and then respectfully withdrew.

the end.

The housekeeper also made sure to gently close the door to the dressing room.

As the thick, bulletproof sliding door slowly closed, a final, dull thud followed.

The huge walk-in closet fell silent instantly.

It was so quiet that Li Wu could even hear her own heart pounding.

There is a clear disorder.

But when she looked into Zhou Jinghuai's eyes, which were fixed on her, they were deep and unfathomable, like a dark pool.

It was as if they were looking at her. Or perhaps they were looking at something through her.

Li Wu felt a sudden tremor in her heart.

I can’t describe how it feels.

It felt as if I was suspended on the edge of a deep, bottomless cliff, with an abyss below me.

Li Wu subconsciously called his name, seeking a sense of security, "Zhou Jinghuai..."

But next second.

Before Li Wudu could react, Zhou Jinghuai had already pinned her down on the dark sofa, his two slender, jade-like fingers gently clamping her chin.

The man's tall, imposing figure loomed over her.

"Hmm..." With her jaw clamped down, Li Wu was forced to raise her face.

The girl's fair, snow-white face, without any makeup, exuded a pure and clean beauty, even bordering on sacred.

But ironically, this kind of pure beauty can easily arouse a person's possessiveness.

"Li Li."

Zhou Jinghuai looked down at her, then suddenly called her name, his magnetic voice low and deep.

Hear the sound.

Li Wu looked at him with clear eyes, and was about to respond when she heard him call her "baby" in a low, deep voice beside her ear.

In an instant.

Li Wu's pupils dilated slightly, her mind somewhat dazed.

The tingling sensation stimulated her already disordered heart and slightly tense body.

It felt like a tiny electric current passing through her eardrums, then quickly rolling down her meridians to her heart, permeating her heart, spreading to her limbs and even the depths of her soul.

But soon.

Before Li Wu could react, Zhou Jinghuai leaned down and kissed her lips.

A clear and elegant fragrance descended, enveloping the mist completely.

It started with a very gentle kiss. He held her soft lips in his mouth, tasting and lingering tenderly.

Li Wu felt as if she were enveloped in warm water, a stimulating warm current spreading from her lips to her heart. The deeper it went, the more the warm current seemed to electrify her, and a slight shiver quickly spread throughout her body.

Even with such a gentle kiss, Li Wu still couldn't quite handle it.

My heart was racing, and I was having trouble breathing.

She seemed to breathe in fresh air, her soft, red, and moist tongue almost automatically entering his mouth, and Zhou Jinghuai naturally allowed it...

……

Tears welled up in Li Wu's eyes, the glistening moisture almost making her cry, lingering at the corners of her eyes, threatening to fall.

Fragile and beautiful, so delicate and pitiful.

Zhou Jinghuai lowered his eyes and looked at the girl beneath him, who was dressed in a flawless white strapless dress, which seemed to surround her like countless white rose petals.

With her rapid, disordered breathing, the rounded curves of her strapless bra rose and fell. A cleavage was faintly visible, alluring and seductive.

See this.

The darkness in Zhou Jinghuai's eyes seemed to have deepened.

Without any hesitation, Zhou Jinghuai reached out and tore off the dress.

Feeling a sudden chill on her chest, as if she had just been pulled from the water, Li Wu trembled and cried out, "No... the dress..."

But it's too late.

A dress worth millions was casually destroyed by Zhou Jinghuai.

Seeing that Li Wu still wanted to examine the dress, Zhou Jinghuai reached out and tore off the last piece of fabric from her body. He leaned down and pulled her naked body into his arms, slowly and deliberately beginning his act—

"Honey, you should worry about yourself."

……

The awards ceremony in City S.

Around six o'clock, a long black van pulled up in front of the clubhouse.

to the end.

Li Wu was arranged to walk the red carpet with national heartthrob Wen Zhiyuan, making a grand finale appearance.

"I hope I won't be nervous this time?"

Inside the black van, Wen Zhiyuan, dressed in a black suit, smiled and asked Li Wu.

A year ago, Wen Zhiyuan and Li Wu collaborated for the first time. Later, when the two went to participate in offline events to promote "Floating Dreams", Wen Zhiyuan asked the same question.

At that time.

Li Wu was visibly nervous, and she said it was her first time participating in an event.

When Wen Zhiyuan mentioned it, Li Wu, who always had an amazing memory, naturally recalled the scene from that time.

"Actually, I'm still a little nervous."

Li Wu thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "But I'm mostly looking forward to it."

talking.

Li Wu looked out the car window.

The venue was packed with fans, almost completely surrounded.

only.

Amidst the overwhelming screams and deafening shouts coming from outside.

This time, the words "Liwu" were shouted.

After getting off the car.

Li Wu waved happily to greet them.

One of the fans was pushed outside the cordon and almost fell.

Li Wu reached out to help her up and gently reminded her to be careful.

That moment.

All the fans screamed uncontrollably, the deafening shouts of "Li Li!" piercing the sky.

The fan who was helped up by Li Wu seemed to be still in a daze, staring blankly at the hand that Li Wu had touched, and was overwhelmed with joy and dizziness.

……

We entered the inner area.

The deafening shouts subsided.

Li Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Two assistants followed Li Wu into the venue, occasionally adjusting her skirt.

Li Wu was not wearing the white strapless dress that Zhou Jinghuai had initially seen.

The dress ended up completely soaked and ruined.

The Star Award is the highest award in the domestic TV drama industry.

Numerous industry leaders gathered to share in the grand event.

Chu Xuan, Liang Qingran, Wen Yin, Ji Qingfei, Xi Xun, Pei Yi... Several heavyweight figures in the industry were also present.

This demonstrates the artistic value and social influence of the Star Award.

Inside the venue.

Liang Qingran, who had just exchanged a few words with Wen Yin, glanced around and her gaze suddenly froze when she saw the dress Li Wu was wearing. She paused for a few seconds.

Liang Qingran nudged the actress Wen Yin beside her with her elbow, signaling her to look over.

These two are the most talented and famous actresses in the industry, without exception.

Naturally.

The moment the two of them arrived, they became the focus of everyone's attention.

They both looked towards the door.

As if in a chain reaction, one actor after another turned around and looked curiously toward the door.

At last.

Everyone looked at Li Wu, who had appeared at the entrance of the venue.

Li Wu wore a dreamy, ethereal pinkish-purple strapless dress.

The pinkish-purple skirt is piled with dreamy and gorgeous flowers, and the girlish and romantic tulle silhouette creates a luxurious and ethereal atmosphere.

The light and flowing tulle and the delicate and intricate flowers are as lively and beautiful as spring.

She looked like a girl who had stepped out of a dreamlike fairyland.

Her appearance was a visual feast.

There was silence for a while.

The gazes of everyone looking at Li Wu gradually became subtly complex.

Those who can make it in the industry and even to this awards ceremony naturally have their own agendas.

Last year, STO, the jewelry brand used by the royal family of Country Y, suddenly announced Li Wu as its Asia-Pacific brand ambassador, causing a sensation.

Then came the explosive success of the top-tier resources available for [Floating Dream] and [Crossing the Mortal Realm].

The name "Li Wu" has become an unavoidable name within the industry.

With such top-tier, extraordinary resources, everyone is certain that Li Wu has a powerful backer supporting him.

But no one could guess who that person was.

At least getting her drama to be promoted across all platforms in a massive, coordinated manner is not something that can be achieved simply by having money.

At the beginning.

Some people spoke of Li Wu in private, their eyes filled with disdain and envy.

But later.

When the mist rose to an unreachable height, all they could do was look up to it.

……

Not long after Li Wu entered the inner area, people came up to greet her one after another.

Whether you've worked with them before or not, whether you've met them or not, whether they are actors, directors, or producers.

One after another, they all rushed to show their faces in front of Li Wu.

Even Director Yang, the most powerful and notoriously short-tempered figure in Shanghai's entertainment circle, completely lost his temper in front of Li Wu, who was almost two generations younger than him. When he greeted her with a faint smile, there was even a hint of respect in his expression.

When I saw that scene.

Liang Qingran and Wen Yin, who were standing to the side, were amazed.

"Who would have thought that there would be an actress in the industry whom Director Yang respects?"

Liang Qingran couldn't help but sigh softly.

Director Yang is practically the undisputed ruler of Shanghai's entertainment circle, and he has an incredibly bad temper. But he has access to a lot of high-quality resources, and countless female stars are eager to curry favor with him.

Even before that, a top-tier celebrity had heard that Director Yang liked body painting.

In the dead of winter, the female artist secretly climbed into Director Yang's villa. She brought her own paint and lay naked in the snow, volunteering to be his body painting model.

As a result, Director Yang didn't even glance at her before having her thrown out.

It was only after paparazzi took some cryptic photos that the story slowly spread within the industry.

However, as time went by, it gradually faded away.

Who would have thought.

Director Yang is surprisingly treating a junior in the industry so well today; it could even be described as fawning.

Hear the words.

Actress Wen Yin took a sip of the champagne in her hand and said nothing.

Having been in the industry for so many years, she's seen it all.

only.

When Wen Yin saw Shen Yichen, dressed in a silver-gray suit, walking towards Li Wu, she noticed him.

Her hand holding the wine glass suddenly paused.

……

"Thank goodness you came."

Finally freed by Shen Yichen, Li Wu couldn't help but sigh softly, "I feel like my face is going to freeze from smiling."

talking.

Li Wu turned her head and gave Shen Yichen the same polite yet perfunctory smile.

It meant to show him whether her upturned lips were about to freeze.

"..."

Shen Yichen couldn't help but chuckle, "What a rascal."

She could have ignored everyone, but instead she greeted everyone with a smile.

Li Wu snorted softly, somewhat dissatisfied with his statement.

Seeing her dissatisfaction, Shen Yichen smiled and said in a gentle, soothing voice, "She's still the most beautiful little darling."

Li Wu smiled, "...Thank you."

Later, actress Wen Yin and Liang Qingran came over to greet her, but not to her, but to Shen Yichen.

Li Wu looked away.

For some unknown reason, Li Wu's gaze suddenly paused.

In fact, apart from Li Wu, Shen Yichen's attitude towards people in the industry is indifferent.

Later, Liang Qingran and Wen Yin left after exchanging only a few words.

After they left.

Shen Yichen noticed the stunned look on Li Wu's face and followed her gaze.

—It is Lin Yi.

When Li Wu first got together with Zhou Jinghuai, Shen Yichen had specifically investigated her.

She naturally knew that Lin Yi was her ex-boyfriend.

The reason for their breakup remains unknown.

Lin Yi is attending tonight as a special guest.

He can now be considered a representative figure in the Chinese film industry.

The war-themed action movie released last summer broke box office records, jumping to the top of the domestic film history box office chart.

In addition to that previously critically acclaimed and wildly popular sci-fi blockbuster, two of the top five highest-grossing films in box office history are starring him.

Simultaneously.

Lin Yi is also the youngest actor to have won the three major film awards in China.

The future is limitless.

Li Wu's gaze lingered for a few seconds, and just as she was about to look away, Lin Yi looked over in their direction.

Suddenly.

Their eyes met from a distance.

……

"Director Shen."

Lin Yi walked over, politely clinked glasses with Shen Yichen, lowered his glass slightly, and then drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Shen Yichen responded calmly.

then.

Lin Yi then looked at Li Wu.

"Lili, it's been a long time."

Lin Yi was wearing a custom-made black suit. The fine, high-quality fabric accentuated his tall, slender figure, giving him a refined and gentle appearance.

Since the last audition, I've heard people mention the name "Li Wu" from time to time.

But Lin Yi never saw her again.

Firstly, the two work in different fields, so they rarely have the opportunity to meet.

Then there is.

Even now, Gu Jing is still wary of him contacting Li Wu, fearing that they still have feelings for each other.

If Gu Jing finds out that he and Li Wu are in the same movie, she will definitely kick Li Wu out of the crew no matter what she does.

So even though he had already auditioned for that tribute drama, he ultimately chose to withdraw from the role.

Li Wu was the only thing he felt indebted to.
