Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 1019: Chapter 992: Putting an End to the Past and Embracing a New Life

When Yu Mingxi started speaking, all the reporters stood still, and some grabbed their cameras and snapped away.

”Regarding this incident, for me personally, it was just doing what I should do. Please don’t focus on this, and pay more attention to those who are currently rescuing people at the fire scene. They haven’t even eaten yet. Our society needs more positive energy, not attention to celebrity matters. If anyone wants to interview later, I can contact my assistant to give you on-site media a chance for a separate interview with me; otherwise, all media you represent will be blacklisted by me, and I’ll never accept interviews.”

A chance for a one-on-one interview with Yu Mingxi?!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Everyone knows she’s low-key, and the reporters were indeed tempted.

This is Yu Mingxi’s PR ability; she solved the problem upon her appearance.

Just as the reporters were preparing to leave and turn their attention to the rescue effort, one reporter suddenly noticed the different look in Hai Zhao’s eyes toward Yu Mingxi and asked a question.

”Excuse me, Shu Xi, who is he to you? Is he your boyfriend? Do you have any plans to marry soon?”

Shua-la! All eyes focused on Hai Zhao.

Shu Xi is Yu Mingxi’s stage name.

On stage, Yu Mingxi is a superstar with sweet looks and a versatile voice, a stage presence so proper that there’s never been negative news, and her romantic world is completely blank.

”He’s not worthy of Shu Xi! Is he a bodyguard?” a reporter loudly said, personally liking Yu Mingxi very much and unable to accept the idea of his idol finding such a man. People still hold grudges against Hai Zhao for just spraying reporters.

Hai Zhao’s heart sank. Forget it, he’ll admit he’s a bodyguard himself, so as not to cause trouble for Xiaoxi...

”Yes, I’m her bodyguard.”

”No, he’s not my bodyguard.”

After they both spoke, they exchanged a glance.

”He’s my friend.”

Sigh, just friends, can only be friends. Otherwise, what else would you expect! Hai Zhao secretly comforted himself in his heart.

”Is it a male friend or a boyfriend?” The reporter continued to press on with a relentless attitude, understanding that celebrities always like to use ’friend’ to cover up a bit of male-female affairs; they’ve learned to be sharp.

”Right now, he’s a male friend; what he will be later, I don’t know.”

Eh?! Hai Zhao instantly came alive; his previously dying little heart beat excitedly, this isn’t right, it sounds like there’s hope?!

”When are you planning to have the wedding?” The reporters had developed their own judgment on such ambiguous celebrity responses; not denying it is acknowledging it!

”I’ll tell you about that in the next one-on-one interview; the world changes every day. The fire was raging in the last second, and in the next second, it was under control, so who can speak well of future matters?”

This sentence not only reminded reporters to quickly chase the fire rescue news but also brought blossoms to Hai Zhao’s heart as if spring arrived in an instant, butterflies danced, flowers bloomed, and little angel wings scattered flowers~

”Xiaoxi, you—” He looked at her with surprise and some nervousness; could it be that he’s been infatuated for too long, leading to hallucinations? Thinking of good things, or did he misunderstand her?

”We’ll talk about the future in the future, just do the present well.” She replied to him with this sentence.

Hearing this, Hai Zhao knew there was a chance! His eyes curved happily.

Once they got rid of the reporters, the two of them got back in the car; Hai Zhao wanted to ask something but felt it wasn’t appropriate with Qian around, feeling anxious as he rubbed his hands.

”There’s basically nothing left here for you two, you should head back.”

Qian glanced at the state of these two and suddenly felt the time she previously estimated to heal Yu Mingxi might be too long, a year and a half was more than enough—the unpredictable life, this disaster seemed like a catalyst, shortening Hai Zhao’s originally long-suffering road of pursuing his love.

At least it could spare him months of agony; Yu Mingxi saw Hai Zhao’s sincerity through this incident and understood some things when her life was threatened.

”Xiaoxi.” When the two were about to get off the car, Qian called out to Yu Mingxi.

”What’s up?”

”Good luck.”

Yu Mingxi smiled, this time a genuine smile.

Towards the ultimate goal Qian mentioned, she should be able to achieve it soon, right?

Seeing it was still early, Yu Mingxi said to Hai Zhao, ”Would you accompany me to a place?”

”Yes!”

”Aren’t you going to ask where we’re going?” Qian interjected, what to do, there’s no progress yet, and the signs of being a doting husband are already showing.

”Wherever she says to go, we’ll go.” After all these years, finally there are some clues, no matter where, he’s willing.

”Tsk tsk, my teeth ache with envy. Get going quickly, the prison visiting hours will end soon, take the highway, that way it’s faster.” Qian foresaw where Yu Mingxi wanted to take Hai Zhao.

At this point, a background music should be played for Hai Zhao, it must be a shouting rap, ”I’ll traverse the mountain of knives and seas of fire for you~ Arrows fly in all directions, standing alone~ Boom chika boom chika, that’s the rhythm!”

”Prison visit?” Hai Zhao felt like he heard something shocking.

”Mm, you’ll know when we get there.”

Things previously dreaded, now suddenly there is courage. Yu Mingxi felt she should confront her heart, just like she had the courage to rush over and grasp the villain’s knife.

After experiencing times of excitement, fear, and others, one enters a state of adrenaline surge, much like Yu Mingxi now. Adrenaline gave her plenty of courage, enough to face things she previously didn’t dare face.

Driving with Yu Mingxi, Hai Zhao found that fortunately, it was about an hour’s drive from the prison where Sun Xia was held, and Q City and Lishi formed a triangle on the map; if from Q City side, it wouldn’t be as close.

Throughout this drive, Hai Zhao didn’t ask Yu Mingxi what she was going for; he drove for a while and then turned to Yu Mingxi, asking if her hand hurt, whether more medicine was needed?

Anyway, he cared about everything, just not asking her what she was going there for.

Upon arriving at the prison, it was the same process as last time, maybe by chance, they encountered the same situation as last time, encountered another performance.

”Does your prison hold cultural performances every day?” Yu Mingxi was speechless.

Nowadays, prisoners have so many entertainment activities?

”I’m sorry, our prison was rated as a model pilot unit... yesterday was actually a dress rehearsal, today is the official one.” Even the prison guard was the same as last time.

Such a coincidence, prisons generally don’t hold activities so intensively, and Yu Mingxi caught them all.

”Here’s the thing, I’ll go apply with your leadership to see if I can temporarily go on stage to sing a song for everyone? I won’t have any contact with any prisoners, I’ll just sing, is that okay?”

Yu Mingxi has already made up her mind; she didn’t need to have a conversation with Sun Xia, this time she came to conclude things for herself.

Qian was right, wanting to step forward, she must have the courage to face the past. If she dared not see him, how could she welcome a new life?
