Entertainment mogul: Starting his business with the internet

Chapter 110 Tryst
Just as Liu Shishi was about to go to the dressing room to remove her makeup, Hu Ge, He Rundong, Tong Yao and others happened to come over from the studio after finishing their scenes early.

"Shishi, are you still waiting for us? Because it's New Year's Day today, Director Wei announced that we're wrapping up early. Let's go remove our makeup together, and then we'll get together tonight to celebrate the New Year."

Seeing that Liu Shishi hadn't left beforehand, Tong Yao assumed that her friend was loyal and hadn't run away early, waiting for everyone to return to the Little White Building together.

Liu Shishi didn't know how to explain this beautiful misunderstanding, so she could only nod and say, "Let's go back together after we change."

Suddenly, her phone vibrated slightly. Liu Shishi looked down expectantly to check it, and a smile immediately bloomed on her face. Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. Her boyfriend had arrived safely at Hangzhou Airport.

Song Yiyi: Shishi, I've arrived at the airport. See you in a bit. Contact me if anything comes up.

Seeing that Liu Shishi's pretty face was beaming with joy after looking at her phone, completely shaking off the dejection she had shown during filming that morning, Yuan Hong asked curiously, "Shishi, why are you suddenly so happy? Is there something good you want to tell everyone?"

Liu Shishi was in a good mood at the moment. Seeing everyone staring at her, she joked, "My mom just told me that we won the lottery. I'll treat everyone to dinner another day."

Yuan Hong believed it to be true, her eyes wide with curiosity, and she couldn't help but ask, "How much did you win?"

Tong Yao glanced at Yuan Hong beside her, looking down on him. He was such a simpleton, never uttering a proper girl's joke. She knew in her heart that the girl's cheerful appearance was most likely related to her lover.

He took Liu Shishi's arm and said affectionately, "Don't pay attention to these stinky men, let's go remove our makeup, Shishi."

Yuan Hong scratched her head, still very curious, and wanted to follow the two to ask another question, but Hu Ge grabbed her arm.

Hu Ge sighed helplessly. His good friend could be really naive sometimes: "Old Yuan, are you stupid? Shishi was just joking, and you actually believed her? Besides, even if you really won the lottery, you shouldn't flaunt your wealth. How can you ask questions like that?"

Yuan Hong suddenly realized that Tong Yao had just given him a playful look, and felt a little annoyed. Women's words are truly deceitful; this was just bullying an honest man.

Hu Ge shook her head and pulled Yuan Hong and He Rundong to follow the two women at a distance. After removing their makeup and changing out of their costumes in the film crew's dressing room, everyone returned to the Tangren Xiaobailou to prepare for celebrating New Year's Day.

Despite the biting wind outside, Liu Shishi, inside the dormitory, was filled with excitement. She spread out the few clothes she had brought to Hengdian on her bed and busied herself trying them on.

However, I wasn't very satisfied with the clothes on the bed, feeling that they were all old-fashioned and not enough to wear.

"Yuanyuan, how about this one?"

Liu Shishi, wearing a snow-white down jacket, twirled lightly in front of her assistant on the sofa. Before the assistant could speak, she muttered to herself, "It feels too bulky and doesn't show off my figure."

He couldn't help but shake his head, and took off his down jacket, placing it on the bedside table.

Seeing her mistress hesitating and trying on several outfits repeatedly, Jiang Yuanyuan whispered, "Shishi, I think this one is fine. Besides, it's just a regular dinner tonight with old acquaintances. Do you really need to be so concerned?"

Liu Shishi didn't tell her assistant that if she were going to a party, she could just wear casual clothes. But she wasn't going to a party; she was going to a secret rendezvous.

A woman dresses up for the man she loves, and today is Song Ci's birthday. They haven't seen each other for a month, so she has to show her boyfriend her best side.

Seeing the doubt on her assistant's face, Liu Shishi smiled mysteriously: "You don't understand, today is New Year's Day, we can't take it too seriously."

Jiang Yuanyuan rolled her eyes. "I don't understand, so please explain it clearly. I hate riddle-solving people the most."

Liu Shishi then picked up a red woolen coat, its exquisite and tailored cut highlighting her elegant and virtuous temperament.

She moved to the mirror and looked at herself, but then felt that the colors were too bright. After all, it was her boyfriend's birthday, and it didn't quite fit the warm and romantic atmosphere she wanted to create today.

Her gaze swept over the remaining few clothes on the bed. After hesitating for a while, Liu Shishi picked up a light blue turtleneck cardigan and chose to wear it over a white lace dress.

I stood in front of the mirror and examined myself carefully for a long time. After thinking about it, I changed into a pair of brown ankle boots. When I saw the overall effect of the outfit, I immediately liked it.

"This outfit is so beautiful, Shishi!"

Hearing Jiang Yuanyuan's praise, Liu Shishi became even more satisfied. She also felt that the outfit was beautiful and appropriate, especially the high collar, which suited her swan-like neck perfectly, exuding elegance and sophistication with a touch of playfulness.

Liu Shishi pursed her lips slightly, looking at her gentle and radiant self in the dressing mirror. She couldn't help but smile with satisfaction: "This is the one. Yi Yi will definitely love it. It'll seduce him to death."

After choosing her clothes, Liu Shishi looked in the mirror and did her makeup. She tucked her long hair behind her ears and lightly applied a touch of coral blush, sweeping it in a circular motion on her cheekbones to make her complexion look more rosy and natural.

After two hours of busy work, Liu Shishi, with a fresh and refined beauty, confidently went out to meet her date.

In the noisy KTV room that evening, Hu Ge looked at Tong Yao and Lin Jiayu who had arrived together, but did not see Liu Shishi. She asked in confusion, "Why are there only the two of you? Where is Shishi? I haven't seen her all afternoon."

Today is New Year's Day. The crew of "Young Warriors of the Yang Clan" has been filming for a month. Through this period of cooperation, everyone has become familiar with each other. Hu Ge, as the male lead and the top producer, invited the main actors to a get-together.

Lin Jiayu shook his head: "Huh, Shishi's assistant said she left early this morning. Yao and I thought she had arrived here first. Why hasn't she arrived yet?"

Yuan Hong, standing to the side, shrugged and replied leisurely, "I haven't seen her. She's the only one who hasn't come yet."

Recalling Liu Shishi's unusually absent-mindedness during filming that morning, Hu Ge couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"I'm calling to ask. Shishi seems a bit off today. She was distracted while filming this morning. I don't know if she's feeling unwell."

"I didn't see that coming. Shishi was full of energy and very happy when she returned to the Little White Building!"

After saying that, Yuan Hong seemed to remember something, patted her good friend on the shoulder, and teased, "Hey, Lao Hu, you seem to care about our junior sister, don't you? Do you have a crush on her?"

Hu Ge held her phone in one hand, waiting to answer, and with the other hand, she slapped away Yuan Hong's arm that was draped over her shoulder, and snorted irritably:

"Old Yuan, please don't talk nonsense. It won't be good for Shishi if it gets out. Shishi hasn't arrived yet, so it's only right that I check on her."

Without the slightest hesitation, Hu Ge quickly explained the situation to Yuan Hong to prevent her from mistakenly believing that she was pursuing Liu Shishi and causing embarrassment for everyone if her big mouth got out.

Hu Ge knew Liu Shishi's personality very well; she was a typical woman who was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, and she always maintained proper boundaries when interacting with herself and other men.

Last time, she got upset because He Rundong made a joke. If rumors about her and me spread, the young lady might turn against me. How can we work together in the future?

After a long wait, the call was finally answered, and Liu Shishi's clear voice came through: "Hello, Lao Hu."

The KTV environment was a bit noisy. Hu Ge put the receiver close to her ear: "Shishi, where are you? Everyone is already here, just waiting for you." "I have something to do tonight, so I won't be able to join the dinner party. Have fun, I'll treat you another day. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

To everyone's surprise, Liu Shishi didn't come to the dinner party. Seeing that Liu Shishi was about to hang up the phone, Hu Ge quickly turned on the speakerphone, hoping to persuade her with everyone's help. She immediately shouted, "Don't hang up on Shishi!"

Under the watchful eyes of the three, Hu Ge said helplessly, "Shishi isn't coming!"

Lin Jiayu was anxious. She had originally planned to have a drink with her girlfriends. She already knew the story of the nursery rhyme. Liu Shishi was doing well in the fashion industry, and with someone mediating between them, the three of them got along well.

When Liu Shishi was not around, she was left alone with Tong Yao because she couldn't stand Tong Yao's scheming nature and always felt uneasy.

So he shouted into the phone, "Shishi, come quick! It's rare to have some free time today, and it's New Year's Day, let's get together!"

"Jiayu, I have something very important to do and I really can't come today. You guys have fun." Before anyone else could say anything to persuade her, Liu Shishi hurriedly hung up the phone.

The group exchanged bewildered glances. Yuan Hong asked in surprise, "Shishi, what's going on?"

Tong Yao had a vague guess that a few days ago, Liu Shishi had begged and pleaded, and then took a day off to hitch a ride with Cai Yinong to Donghai to buy a high-end men's trench coat. She guessed that today she was busy with love again, running around for her boyfriend.

"Since Shishi has something to do, let's not force her. Let's just have fun."

Yuan Hong pouted. Who can have fun with you, Tong Yao? There's a lot of trouble. People are trying to avoid you.

After ending the call, Liu Shishi arrived at the Dongci Hotel, where Song Ci was staying, carrying a cake in one hand and a shopping bag in the other.

Knock, knock, knock. Although the knocking was gentle, Liu Shishi's heart was burning with urgency.

The hotel room door opened quickly, and their beloved, whom they had been longing for day and night, came into view. The moment their eyes met, a deep love flowed through their hearts.

After waiting for a long time, Song Ci gazed at his beloved little green plum, and his eyes instantly welled up with endless tenderness.

Liu Shishi's eyes welled up with tears. Without saying a word, she gently put down the cake in her hand and nestled into her boyfriend's warm embrace.

Song Ci held Miss Liu tightly, as if trying to meld her into his own body. Their heartbeats mingled, and their warm breaths brushed against each other's ears.

Liu Shishi buried her head deeply in her boyfriend's broad chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, her hands tightly wrapped around his back, as if he would disappear if she let go.

Song Ci gently rested her chin on Liu Shishi's forehead, and with both arms wrapped tightly, she wished she could pour all the longing from this time of separation into this one moment of embrace.

He gently ran his fingers along a few strands of hair on Ms. Liu's forehead, feeling the warmth of each other's skin, listening to his girlfriend's rapid breathing, and lowered his head slightly to kiss her, savoring the familiar softness and fragrance.

Liu Shishi tilted her pretty face up, closed her eyes, and responded to her boyfriend's passion.

This kiss was filled with longing and affection, passionate and deep, as if it wanted to melt away all the thoughts and feelings that had been building up since they parted.

After a long while, the two slowly separated, their eyes filled with love and the joy of reunion.

"Honey!"

"Ok!"

Liu Shishi smiled and said, "I've prepared a cake and a birthday present for you. I won't miss your birthday this time."

"Come in." Song Ci picked up the gifts and cake at his feet and ushered his girlfriend into the guest room.

As soon as they entered the guest room, Liu Shishi hurriedly unwrapped the birthday cake, stuck candles on the small cake, and lit them with a soft flame. "Darling, turn off the light quickly."

Hearing Miss Liu's urging, Song Ci turned off the lights in the room. Instantly, only the cake shimmered with warm light in the quiet darkness, dazzling and beautiful. Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and only the beautiful blessings were eternal.

Liu Shishi carefully carried the cake and slowly walked to Song Ci. The dim candlelight reflected in her tender eyes as she softly wished her a happy birthday, "My dear!"

Song Ci stared at the young lady Liu with emotion, her eyes filled with surprise, happiness, and a touch of affection.

The candlelight illuminated their faces, filling the small room with a warm and romantic atmosphere.

"Make a wish, my dear!"

Upon hearing this, Song Ci closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and silently made a wish in her heart. At this moment, she had no other wish but that her loved ones and the girl in front of her would be healthy, happy, and safe.

After a moment, he opened his eyes, and under Liu Shishi's expectant and encouraging gaze, he took a deep breath and blew out the candle.

The candlelight went out, plunging the room into darkness, with only distant lights coming from outside the window. Song Ci turned the light back on, and the room was bright again.

Liu Shishi placed the cake on the table and handed her a white plastic knife. "Darling, come and make the first cut."

Song Ci smiled as he took the plastic knife, gently sliced ​​off a piece of cake, and fed the first sweet bite to his girlfriend.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, she said, "Shishi, thank you for preparing all of this for me."

Liu Shishi stuck out her little tongue and licked the smooth cream again, revealing a sweet and charming smile. She embraced Song Ci with both arms, enjoying this sweet and romantic moment.

The room was filled with the whispers of the young couple, their love growing even stronger and more beautiful on this special New Year's Day.

After eating the cake, Song Ci tried on the birthday gift that Miss Liu had bought for him: a stylish long brown trench coat.

Liu Shishi carefully adjusted Song Ci's collar and smoothed out the wrinkles in her lover's trench coat. After looking him up and down, she nodded, quite satisfied with the gift she had chosen.

The collar of his trench coat stood up slightly, perfectly outlining Song Ci's resolute jawline, adding a touch of aloofness and mystery. The belt cinched just right, highlighting his lean waist and showcasing a tall and slender figure.

Liu Shishi's eyes sparkled, and she exclaimed inwardly, "My man is so handsome!" "Does it fit, darling?"

“It fits perfectly. I plan to keep it for the New Year. I’ll wear it when I visit your family to pay my respects, so your aunt and uncle can see your good taste.” After saying that, Song Ci took off her trench coat and carefully hung it up on a hanger.
