Chapter 25: Pursuit
Proofread by He Li
"Of course, you are grandfather's favorite." Grandfather Si smiles kindly, and Si Wan's mind is filled with a myriad of thoughts. Sure enough, the warmest place is only her own family.
Hugging her Grandfather Si tightly, Si Wan holds back the bitterness in her heart.
Back from the Si Family, Si Wan is full of strength. She is determined to do her best on the last day no matter what will happen.
Si Wan makes up her mind to find out the truth, but on the morning of the third day, Yan Xiuya comes to Si Wan's office again.
"Si Wan, time is almost up. Have you found anything?" Folding her arms in front of her chest, Yan Xiuya assumes a posture of waiting for answers, which makes Si Wan almost breathless.
"Chairman Yan, do you forget that today is only the third day…" Si Wan tries to argue, but is stopped by Yan Xiuya.
"Stop here. The company will take over the investigation. You have another task which is more important." Seeing Yan Xiuya's serious facial expression, Si Wan frowns slightly. What does she mean? Has the company believed that she is innocent?
"In a few days, the model of the prominent jewelry exhibition will come to participate in the shooting. This time, the model invited is Feng Qi who has the title of Asian Star. You are arranged to be his assistant to help him finish shooting."
After her words, Yan Xiuya is intended to leave, but is stopped by Si Wan: "But the company's accounting problem…"
"I have said that you don't need to think about this. Now your task is to get in touch with Feng Qi." Yan Xiuya still looks so domineering that Si Wan can only obey her arrangements without saying anything else. But she has no idea why she is asked to get in touch with a male model.
But soon afterwards, Si Wan knows why Yan Xiuya specially assigns her to work with Feng Qi, even as his assistant.
At the airport, a tall man, whose perfect face attracts the attention of many passers-by, is walking ahead with a strong aura.
"Where is the person to contact me?" When Feng Qi takes off his sunglasses, his handsome face makes many people scream. He gives them a proud smile, so seductive that many females have lost their mind.
"The person should be outside." The guard following him answers. Feng Qi nods with arrogance.
"I hope that my numerous fans won't shock the person." Turning around, Feng Qi throws away his sunglasses which draws a beautiful arc in the air, saying "It's yours."
Feng Qi gives a bright smile and the people behind him immediately go for the sunglasses. Outside the airport, Si Wan is waiting for the male model anxiously. Although she came here early, the airport is completely surrounded by the fans of the model, so she couldn't enter and had to wait outside.
"Excuse me, where is Mr. Feng, please?" Si Wan dials the number as she can't help being fidgety. She doesn't care whether the model is popular or not, a person without a sense of time will always make others crazy.
"I am here." A mocking laughter comes up behind, which makes Si Wan astonished. Turning around, she finds a male with a black peaked cap, whose tall figure obstructs her view. The large shadow makes his appearance almost unclear to her.
"Are you, Mr. Feng?" Si Wan is hesitant, but Feng Qi takes off his cap and raises his eyebrows: "Hurry up, when my fans arrive here, we can't leave anymore."
The arrogance of Feng Qi reminds Si Wan of Gong Siming who is not only arrogant but also cold, and her face turns somewhat cloudy: "If Mr. Feng really hopes to leave quickly, you should have been punctual."
Si Wan opens the door and sits in first, but Feng Qi is still standing outside. "Why not get on the car?"
Feng Qi goggles at her: "Will you use this car to pick me up?"
Si Wan feels confused. Is there any problem? Knocking at the car window, Feng Qi looks extremely dissatisfied: "This inferior car doesn't deserve me, does your company know my status?"
As Feng Qi refuses to get on the car, Si Wan gives him a cold smile: "Why? Do you mean I should drive a Bentley to pick you up?" What a poser!
Si Wan answers back, after which Feng Qi looks at her surprisingly. As the famous Asian model, he has never been talked back before. Is this woman out of her mind?
"Will you get on the car or not? If you choose to stand there and wait for your Bentley, it's OK. But don't blame me for not reminding you that a few minutes later when your fans find you are alone, they may bother you a lot."
Si Wan starts the car, and Feng Qi gets a little angry. It's undeniable that Si Wan is right. As he doesn't want what Si Wan has said to become true, Feng Qi opens the door reluctantly.
"We now make an agreement that next time I will absolutely not ride this kind of inferior car." Sitting behind, Feng Qi speaks angrily. The corners of Si Wan's mouth rise slightly as he is a little similar to Gong Siming who is harder to deal with, however.
If it's Gong Siming, probably he won't obediently get on the car like Feng Qi. Remembering the cold face of Gong Siming, Si Wan feels a trace of indescribable emotion fliting inside her, while Feng Qi, who sits in the back seat, is looking at her with great interest.
The neat ponytail is full of youth, but the scattered hair near her ears suggests some mature charm. She has a sweet look, but her eloquence is something new to him.
"What's your name?" Playing with his cap, Feng Qi is compressed in the back seat, and his tall and handsome body makes the car seem very narrow.
"Si Wan." Giving him a glance through the rear-view mirror, Si Wan immediately looks away, which causes Feng Qi's dissatisfaction. His face is generally recognized as a handsome model. Why is this woman so reluctant to look at him? His sense of superiority generated from childhood is greatly hurt.
"Do I look strange? Why don't you take a second look at me?" Feng Qi knocks on the back side of Si Wan's head. Si Wan feels kind of powerless.
"I am driving." Si Wan suddenly understands why Yan Xiuya arranged her as his assistant, because his character is really unique.
"OK, in order to make up for you, I decide to give you a chance to observe me closely…" Clicking his fingers, Feng Qi gives Si Wan a seductive smile.
The corners of Si Wan's mouth twitch slightly. This man really enjoys talking to himself.
"This time, the important task of shooting is assigned to you; I hope we can have a good mutual cooperation." Sitting behind, with a bright and strange look Feng Qi squints at Si Wan who is driving.
Si Wan is driving carefully. Hearing his words, she can't help but feel astonished, after which she suddenly steps on the brake, making herself and Feng Qi lean forward because of inertia and then they are pulled back by the safety belts.
"You scared me. You are not good at driving." Feng Qi rubs on his skin hurt by the safety belt. Si Wan turns back and looks at him with a shocked look.
"Mr. Feng, for your safety, please don't play such cold jokes anymore." Si Wan is expressionless. It seems that she has to improve emergency capability in order to avoid accidents in the following days as Feng Qi's assistant.
"Oh, you don't know how to shoot…" Seeming to understanding something suddenly, Feng Qi continues: "So it's a good chance to learn."
Ignoring Si Wan's attitude, Feng Qi turns on his telephone and calls his guard: "Call Yan Xiuya when you get rid of those fans. Tell her to change my photographer."
Hearing Feng Qi talking to the man at the other end of the phone, Si Wan feels her eyelids jump again and again, and a premonition comes over her.
