The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1663 - 673: Prelude (Part 2)

Chapter 1663: Chapter 673: Prelude (Part 2)

A creamy white coat, paired with a sky blue scarf, coupled with that strikingly sweet appearance, she seemed like a princess straight out of a fairy tale, capturing the young paparazzo’s attention without a hint of disguise.

At this moment, he even forgot his paparazzo identity, with only pure astonishment left in his sight.

Of course, he knew who she was.

Xia Xiwei!

The leading figure among the recent "Four Little Flowers", some say she is the "ceiling of sweet girls", others call her the "top enchantress", some say she’s a "cute girl", while others regard her as a "mature woman"...

So many contrasting adjectives can harmoniously and uniformly converge on a single person, which itself is a kind of miracle.

Never having seen her in real life, the young paparazzo never imagined that, stripped of the camera lens, her beauty was even more elevated!

Just then, his mentor kicked him.

The young paparazzo realized, hurriedly bowed his head in embarrassment and pretended to be weeding, afraid that his intense gaze would reveal their identities.

"Haha, it’s normal. Nowadays, among celebrities, there are few whose real charm can surpass Xia Xiwei. Even your mentor paused for a few seconds the first time I saw her..."

At this moment, the middle-aged man was comforting the young paparazzo.

The young paparazzo instantly calmed down, then saw Xia Xiwei heading straight for Miss Di who was on the other side of the garden.

"She really came to see Miss Di?"

The young paparazzo exclaimed in surprise, "I haven’t heard that these two have any private connections!"

There’s an age gap of four to five years between Miss Di and Xia Xiwei, and they’ve never collaborated in any films, so theoretically, they might at best be nodding acquaintances.

"It’s precisely because of this that there must be something up..."

His mentor’s eyes indeed lit up, and he seemed to be a bit excited as he gestured to the young paparazzo.

With prior understanding, the young paparazzo made some noise while walking in the opposite direction, and as Miss Di and Xia Xiwei were momentarily distracted by him, his mentor swiftly darted to another piece of vegetation, nearer to Miss Di.

Miss Di didn’t notice someone hiding nearby; she only looked at Xia Xiwei with caution and confusion, after confirming that the young gardener couldn’t hear their conversation.

"Miss Xia, hello, may I ask why you are looking for me..."

"Sister Di, everyone is quite busy, so let me get straight to the point."

Xia Xiwei’s lips curved up into a bright smile without a hint of shadow, "You attended Zhou Wang’s banquet a few days ago in Seoul, Korea, right?"

"Yes, this has already been exposed by reporters, so there’s nothing to hide. Miss Liu, Miss Song, Wang Jiale and others were with me at the time..."

Although Miss Di still didn’t understand Xia Xiwei’s purpose in asking about this matter, she answered frankly.

"But how come I heard that other Huaxia celebrities attending the banquet left the estate early, while you stayed until late into the night, leaving only at around two or three in the morning?"

Xia Xiwei continued to smile, her prominent dimples adding to her charming vibe, yet somehow Miss Di felt her gaze was cold, making her uncomfortable.

Driven by a female intuition and irritated by Xia Xiwei’s unabashed probing into her privacy, Miss Di’s expression turned cold.

"Miss Xia, I don’t understand what you are talking about. I also don’t know why you’re probing my privacy repeatedly, even needing to meet me specifically. Concerning the matter you mentioned, regardless of where you heard it, I can only say... no comment!"

"Oh, just no comment? Yet you didn’t deny that you left alone in the early morning. Haha..."

Xia Xiwei suddenly stopped smiling. Her eyes remained large, but her originally sweet face naturally exuded a cold aura as she withdrew all her expressions, transitioning seamlessly.

Miss Di inexplicably felt weak and wondered why she felt suppressed by the aura of a woman several years younger than herself. Her expression grew colder.

"Miss Xia, if there is nothing else, I have to get going..."

"You know?"

At this time, Xia Xiwei spoke faintly, "Zhou Wang is my man."

"What?"

Miss Di, caught off guard, showed dramatic changes in her expression from excessive shock, "What did you say?"

"I know you heard it, but I don’t mind repeating it."

Xia Xiwei smiled again, like a queen who achieved her objective, "I said... Zhou Wang is my man."

Miss Di’s face instantly turned unsightly, unable to hide her inner thoughts, "How could you and Zhou Wang... I’ve never heard of such a thing."

"There are many things you don’t know."

Xia Xiwei raised her smooth chin, "Sister Di, with your qualities, there’s no need to get involved. It’s smart to find a better abode early on, before truly aging... What do you say?"

...

Twenty minutes later.

At the hotel’s back door, pacing anxiously, the young paparazzo finally saw his mentor emerge from the front entrance.

He had already changed into casual attire, tightly clutching a phone and recording pen against his chest, but his expression was clearly somewhat dazed, as if not seeing his apprentice, he walked straight past him.

"Mentor, mentor?"

After calling out a few times, the middle-aged man suddenly seemed to regain his senses.

"Ah, I’m here, I’m here..."

"Mentor, what’s the matter with you?"

Confused, the young paparazzo asked, "Did you capture anything valuable?"

The mentor looked at his young apprentice, unable to speak for a moment, until his anxious apprentice pressed again, his lips trembling as he spoke:

"This time I’m going to make it big, really make it big... Hahaha, I’ve hit the jackpot!"

The mentor tightly hugged the phone in his chest, as if it contained some rare treasure, laughing wildly in the street.

This puzzled the young apprentice, because even a year ago, when they captured that stunning photo, his mentor hadn’t lost composure like this.

The second possibility was that the phone actually captured nothing, and his mentor went crazy from the shock...

Watching his mentor laugh and sigh in excitement, the young apprentice hesitated about whether to call a mental hospital and have them send over an ambulance.

...

December 24, 2024 on the Gregorian calendar was a most intriguing day.

In traditional Huaxia concepts, it originally held no significance, merely the third day after the Winter Solstice.

But in recent decades, this day has gradually gained prominence in Huaxia, mainly due to the growth of young people and the blending of world cultures, introducing a foreign holiday concept...

Christmas Eve.

The day before Christmas, known as "Christmas Eve".

Yet every time he heard someone say "So you were born on Christmas Eve", Zhou Wang was annoyed.

He actually disliked associating his birthday with these things.

He is Zhou Wang, the one and only man in the world, his birthday is a unique commemoration of himself, unrelated to any other fancy holidays.

When someone says that, it feels like their focus is on the holiday rather than his birthday.

In the early morning, just as dawn was breaking, Zhou Wang awoke from his luxurious bed at Tangchen Yipin, reaching for the vibrating phone beside his pillow.

With drowsy eyes, Zhou Wang opened his phone, seeing a message:

"Zhou Wang, so you were born on Christmas Eve..."

Zhou Wang immediately snapped awake.
