Chapter 1154: The Most Familiar Stranger
There were no more scars on Leng Hao’s face anymore. He didn’t do anything. All he did was looked at the paintings on the stage. No one could see the expression in his eyes.
Among them was a landscape painting. He liked it. Achen raised his placard immediately and took it down. Then, he got up and left.
He didn’t say a word throughout the whole process. Ye Xiaotao saw the corner of his black tweed coat fluttering in the wind when he turned, drawing a cold and indifferent arc in the air.
It was like the feeling he gave off just now.
For some reason, Ye Xiaotao felt as though something hard slammed into her heart.
Did he leave just like that?
What was he planning?
Ye Xiaotao bit her lower lip with her sharp teeth. She hated herself very much because he was always easily influenced by him.
Perhaps it was because she hated him too much.
“Xiaotao, Xiaotao…”
Hearing Gong Yi calling her, she looked back hurriedly. “What’s wrong?”
Gong Yi looked at her big, clear and confused eyes and shook his head. Actually, he had called her many times but she was immersed in her own emotions.
Gong Yi did not say anything. He smiled dotingly. “It’s okay. Xiao Ai is calling you.”
…
The art exhibition ended successfully. Ye Xiaotao and Xiao Ai were handling the logistics matters. The public funds from the auction would be accounted for by the government so she did not need to worry.
Ye Xiaotao stood in the quiet corridor and took out her phone to make a call.
The melodious ringtone rang once, and Keely’s soft voice sounded. “h.e.l.lo, Miss Ye, good to hear from you…”
“h.e.l.lo, Keely. With your help, the art exhibition has successfully ended. Thank you. Are you still stuck? Do you want me to send someone to pick you up?”
“Miss Ye, Congratulations. There’s no need to thank me. These are all part of my job.” As she spoke, Keely looked out through the gla.s.s car window. There was a sea of people outside. There were many crazy fans screaming and shouting as if some big celebrity was coming.
Keely shook her head. “Miss Ye, thank you for your kindness, but there’s no need for it.”
“Okay, Keely. If you need any help, give me a call.”
“Okay, goodbye.”
Keely hung up the phone. At this time, her a.s.sistant, Xiao Lan, complained, “Keely, our car definitely won’t be able to drive past this area. The roads here are all blocked. I wonder which celebrity is coming. Look at those brainless fans. They’re so excited that they could almost kneel down.”
“When the roads are clear, ask the driver to drive the car back. Let’s get out and walk our way out.”
“Okay.”
Keely and Xiao Lan got out of the car.
After getting out of the car, Keely could feel commotion and uproar from the crowd in front of her. The continuous screams almost pierced her eardrums. She frowned slightly.
“Keely, be careful. Don’t let anyone hit you. That celebrity seems to be here. I’d like to see who has such a grand entrance…” Xiao Lan pushed aside the crowd around her.
Keely raised her eyes and looked forward. She saw a black luxury business car slowly stopping on the red carpet. The back door was pulled open and a handsome and tall figure appeared.
All the screams instantly faded away. Keely froze.
She stared blankly at the figure in front of her. This person was the most familiar… stranger to her.
Liu Wenlong was wearing a white s.h.i.+rt. The hem of the s.h.i.+rt was not tucked into his suit pants. The thin s.h.i.+rt material made the strong muscles on his waist and abdomen faintly visible. His short black hair was parted in a 7:3 ratio on his head, revealing his wild and handsome face.
