The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1239: Chapter 472: Emergency Time Management (Part 2)

Zhou Wang knew that any explanation at this moment would be pointless, so he could only let out a light cough and change the subject:

”Let’s go... There are too many eyes here, it wouldn’t be good if someone recognized you.”

Several minutes had passed, and he wasn’t sure if Ding Yi had come out of the bathroom yet, but Zhou Wang didn’t dare waste any more time.

”I’ve even altered my face shape; it won’t be that easy to get recognized!”

Even though she said this, Xia Xiwei still allowed Zhou Wang to carry her travel bag. She seemed to have quickly adjusted her mindset and didn’t mention the earlier awkwardness, simply moving closer to hold Zhou Wang’s arm.

”But don’t you think this is a bit fake? No regular person covers themselves up so thoroughly. If someone really wanted to pay attention, they’d definitely notice something odd... I think you might as well take off the sunglasses and just leave the mask on.”

”You think I don’t want to?”

Perhaps to prove her point, Xia Xiwei slightly lowered her head, took her sunglasses halfway off, and looked up at Zhou Wang, ”Do you think just wearing a mask would work?”

”Of course... It wouldn’t.”

Zhou Wang glanced at Xia Xiwei and realized that his suggestion was indeed a bit hasty.

It’s just that Xia Xiwei, even with only her eyes exposed, was still highly recognizable to anyone slightly familiar with her.

Her eyes are big and bright, a rare ”big-eyed beauty” in the entertainment industry, which is probably her most noticeable feature. Not covering them up is not an option.

Being looked at so playfully by Xia Xiwei, Zhou Wang’s heart wavered a bit, and for a moment, he forgot to walk.

...

While the two were flirting, not far away, a ground staff girl holding a phone was gnashing her teeth.

Indeed!

There was yet another woman!

With the ground staff girl’s perspective, she found it hard to imagine that there was a man in the world who could be so scummy, and moreover, in such a short time, he had been scummy to three women consecutively, all of whom seemed to be rare beauties...

The first two didn’t even need mentioning, one was coldly beautiful, the other brightly radiant, even the girl holding the young man’s hand now, although her face wasn’t clearly visible, had such a good figure. With the comparison of the other two women, her looks surely wouldn’t be lacking either?

While the ground staff girl was thinking this, she noticed the girl took off her sunglasses, revealing a small part of her true face.

The ground staff girl was momentarily stunned, then hurriedly zoomed in the camera.

What beautiful eyes...

First, the girl was amazed, then inexplicably felt that these eyes looked familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before.

After a brief daze, the ground staff girl fell into a stupor.

Being someone who usually follows entertainment gossip closely, although she didn’t have many favorite celebrities, Xia Xiwei happened to be one. The last time Xia Xiwei came to Magic City, she had even got an autograph through her colleague’s connections at the VIP lounge...

”How... How could this be!”

The ground staff girl couldn’t believe it, but didn’t feel like she was mistaken. As she came back to her senses and was about to scream, a slightly dark-skinned large hand suddenly reached over beside her, snatching away her phone at high speed.

”Who... Who are you, what do you want to do?”

Shocked, the ground staff girl turned her head, only to see a rather plain-looking man. Instead of answering her questions, the man simply shifted aside to dodge her attempt to snatch back her phone, then quickly tapped a few times on the device.

The ground staff girl couldn’t imagine that in broad daylight, someone would brazenly grab her phone. Just as she was about to call out loudly, the man returned her phone and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

”Crazy!”

The ground staff girl cursed, quickly checking her phone.

There was nothing unusual, except... the videos she had just recorded were all gone.

”This...”

After being taken aback, the girl quickly looked up, only to find that Zhou Wang and the girl who seemed to be Xia Xiwei had already walked far away.

Frustrated, the ground staff girl could only stomp her feet in anger on the spot.

...

Zhou Wang didn’t know about the little incident that just happened and didn’t realize that Gao Xing had been secretly helping him ”avoid a disaster.” He was quite agitated at the moment.

He wanted to hurry along with Xia Xiwei, but Xia Xiwei, perhaps due to finally having a vacation, seemed quite relaxed. She was not only walking at a leisurely pace but would also stop and linger over anything interesting she saw along the way.

”Hey, Zhou Wang, I’m a bit hungry. How about we go buy some bread?”

Coming across a ”Paris Baguette” bakery along the corridor, Xia Xiwei dragged Zhou Wang towards it, intrigued once more.

Feeling that Ding Yi might come out of the bathroom at any moment, Zhou Wang immediately declined, ”Xixi, how about you go browse around yourself? I suddenly have a stomach ache, I should go to the bathroom...”

”Ew, how come you, like ordinary men, love going to the bathroom so much?”

Xia Xiwei expressed a bit of disdain, but didn’t stop Zhou Wang, ”Alright then, just be quick...”

Did ordinary men wrong you?

What’s wrong with liking to go to the bathroom?

Zhou Wang mentally retorted, but outwardly maintained his smile.

”Don’t worry, only at times like this, I’m really quick... So, stay here and wait for me, alright? Don’t wander off!”

After some careful advice, waiting for Xia Xiwei to agree, Zhou Wang watched her walk towards the dessert shop, ensuring she wouldn’t turn around, and then took off running again.

...

Moments later, Zhou Wang returned to the vicinity of the bathroom by the corridor, where Han Rui was still waiting. As Zhou Wang ran back, he happened to see Ding Yi adjusting her hair and coming out of the restroom.

Thank goodness, he made it in time...

A second later, it would have been hard to explain.

Under Han Rui’s curious gaze, Ding Yi raised her eyes to see Zhou Wang arriving breathlessly, looking quite surprised.

”Zhou Wang, how come you’re coming from that way?”

”Oh, I went to buy a pack of cigarettes, I ran out.”

Quick-witted, Zhou Wang took out a cigarette case from his pocket for show, then casually approached, ”Are you ready? Shall we head to the parking lot?”

”There’s no need to rush. I would have waited for you even if I was done...”

Ding Yi smiled, but paused unexpectedly as Zhou Wang drew near.

”What’s wrong?”

Zhou Wang, already moving forward, turned to see Ding Yi still standing there blankly and asked curiously.

”...Nothing, let’s go.”

Ding Yi’s nose twitched slightly, then she pursed her lips and smiled, but after walking a few steps, she suddenly said, ”Hey, Zhou Wang, aren’t you planning to hold my hand? It’s so big here, I might get lost...”

Zhou Wang looked back to see Ding Yi playfully extending her fair hand. Feeling it was hard to refuse, Zhou Wang could only take her hand.

The cool, smooth white jade-like hand slipped into his grasp, but Zhou Wang didn’t get to savor the gentle touch and quickly held Ding Yi’s hand, heading to the parking lot.

Zhou Wang’s pace was rather brisk, but Ding Yi kept up without asking him to slow down.

Upon reaching the parking lot and seeing from a distance that Gao Xing had already pulled up another business car, Zhou Wang couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Once Ding Yi boarded the car, this eventful airport trip could finally come to a close, right?

Just at that moment, Zhou Wang suddenly realized a problem. He had brought two cars in total; the first car had taken Jiang Qingkui away, and if this car was given to Ding Yi, what about Xia Xiwei?

However, Zhou Wang couldn’t worry about that now; if worst came to worst, he’d take Xia Xiwei on the subway... The priority was to quickly send Ding Yi off.

”Ahem, well... Yiyi, you get on this car first, I’ll go take the other one.”

As the Mercedes stopped in front and the electric door opened, Zhou Wang put aside his distractions and addressed the girl in front of him, bracing himself.

He was prepared for Ding Yi’s questions and had thought of several plausible reasons, but he didn’t expect Ding Yi’s response to be silence.

The girl merely lowered her head, lost in thought, her expression unreadable to Zhou Wang.

After waiting for a minute or two, Ding Yi remained quiet, but Zhou Wang felt his phone vibrating in his pocket.

Guessing it might be Xia Xiwei urging him, Zhou Wang was about to speak again when Ding Yi looked up, gave him a strange look, and suddenly grinned.

Her smile was still as radiant, but her words made Zhou Wang feel an absence of warmth.

”I can take this car... But what about her?”
