After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 2079: Chapter 2083: Covered in Goosebumps

Everyone went on stage together, and the event staff had already brought the bright red ribbons onto the stage, placing scissors into everyone’s hands.

Everyone clipped the ribbons simultaneously, and the ribbon flowers fell into the trays held by the ceremonial ladies.

Fireworks exploded, music started, and the dancers responsible for warming up the atmosphere had already rushed onto the stage.

Leng Zirui reached out and supported Xu Xia’s arm, helping her off the stage. Considering the surrounding reporters, Xu Xia did not resist.

Once off the stage, Lan Zi ran over and helped Xu Xia put on the prepared wireless earphones.

In a while, Xu Xia would be performing the finale, singing two songs.

”Xia!” Leng Zirui spoke smilingly from the side, ”I’m really looking forward to your performance.”

Listening to his oddly pronounced ”Xia,” Xu Xia instantly got goosebumps.

This bastard, ridiculously cheesy, not even Leng Zirui had called her like that before.

”What songs will Miss Xu sing?” asked Shangguan Feng from the side.

”A Chinese song and an English song,” Xu Xia replied.

Shangguan Feng’s eyes flashed with a sparkle, ”I hadn’t expected to have the honor to hear your live performance; indeed, I’m truly glad I could attend this event on behalf of my father.”

”Who is Mr. Shangguan’s father?” Before Xu Xia could respond, Leng Zirui cut into their conversation again.

First, he couldn’t stand someone flirting with his wife in front of him.

Second, Leng Zirui was indeed a bit curious about Shangguan Feng. From the earlier interaction between Lei Family Father and Daughter, it was evident they treated Shangguan Feng quite courteously, and these figures never did anything without personal gain, so there must be a reason.

”Shangguan’s father is part of the city hall’s upper echelon, and Mr. Shangguan and I have known each other for many years,” Lei Wenting explained with a smile.

”I see.” Leng Zirui extended his hand to Shangguan Feng, ”Pleasure to meet you.”

Although Shangguan Feng had no special impression of him, out of courtesy and etiquette, he still extended his hand to shake his.

”Pleasure to meet you.”

Initially, Shangguan Feng had come to stand beside Xu Xia, but with Leng Zirui’s handshake, he positioned himself once again between the two, protectively half-shielding Xu Xia.

On the surface, Leng Zirui seemed not to be very assertive, but deep down, his possessiveness towards Xu Xia was in no way inferior to the jealousy-prone Leng Zimo.

How could a truly cherished woman be allowed to be glimpsed by other men even slightly?

”Is Mr. Shangguan also in politics?” Leng Zirui retracted his hand and tentatively asked.

”No, I studied in the arts department, now I’m engaged in architectural design,” Shangguan Feng smiled, ”This hotel is one of my design works.”

Leng Zirui maintained a calm expression, but being shielded behind him, Xu Xia felt a shock in her heart and immediately looked up at the building in front of her.

When she arrived earlier, she had been impressed by the uniquely styled hotel tower, and looking from top to bottom now, she increasingly sensed a beauty in the architecture, marveling instantly, ”Mr. Shangguan is truly talented; I really like this building.”

Originally, she had thought Shangguan Feng was a typical idle rich second generation, but she hadn’t expected him to be so talented.

”Really?” Shangguan Feng followed her gaze and turned his face to look at the building in front of them, ”What does it resemble to you?”

Xu Xia lifted her face and looked at the building in front of her.

The building’s entire edge was streamlined, slightly wider in the middle, narrower at the base, transitioning into a sharp top, with a horizontal glass skybridge jutting out, exactly where the Rooftop Casino was located.
