Chapter 802. Sudden Change! (5)
The colorful fireworks were set off high in the night sky, followed by enthusiastic sounds and shrieks.
When Xi Xiaye looked up, she could see the large, luxurious ship docked by the riverside far in the distance. It leaned close to the dock and was embraced by the dazzling fireworks. A red carpet was rolled out past the deck from inside the ship. The ship seemed like it was filled with people, and there were cheers from time to time. With the dock being surrounded by many fans of artistes, many reporters were present to cover the scene too.
Xi Xiaye stood there for quite a while. She turned to look at the man beside her and then realized that he was whispering something to Li Si. Moments later, Li Si nodded and then waved to the bodyguards behind them. Two of the black-clothed bodyguards turned around and walked away while the remaining ones came up to circle them, protecting Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye in the middle of the entourage.
“Put on your coat. It’s a little cold by the river.” His considerate and caring voice came, and before Xi Xiaye could reach out, he had already helped her drape the coat over her shoulders and casually fastened the top-most button.
Xi Xiaye quietly lowered her head and watched as the pair of hands worked silently. When he was done, she reached to hold him by the arms. “It’s not that cold. Let’s go. It’s quite humid. I think it’ll rain later.”
Mu Yuchen nodded gently before walking ahead.
They had just gotten closer when quite a number of people began to greet them. Mu Yuchen’s reputation was not inferior to those famous artistes. There were his identity and status, plus the fact that he had always been quite reserved, low-profile and cautious. His presence at a banquet like this tonight was quite rare.
Underneath the interweaving spotlights, the husband and wife slowly made their way to the red carpet as delighted cheers were heard from time to time behind them.
They were led by the waiter to their seats. Xi Xiaye then realized that tonight’s banquet was quite a grand one. Even Caitlin and Xi Xinyi were there. Left, right and center, there were famous stars, including people that one would not usually meet.
