The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1291: Chapter 496: Enlightenment (Part 2)

Screams erupted everywhere, whether it was Xia Xiwei’s fans or Miss Gu’s fans, they were almost going crazy.

However, the explosive scene before them made them instinctively raise their phones high, afraid of missing any frame.

Who is this man who could hug Xia Xiwei and Miss Gu, the leading actresses of two generations, left and right?

Xia Xiwei was taken aback. She never thought the dog man beside her would play such a tricky move, disrupting all her plans in an instant...

When the focus shifted from ”her and Zhou Wang” to ”Zhou Wang and two female stars,” it meant all the topics she had planned in advance would be diverted.

Even if some fans would still pay attention to her relationship with Zhou Wang, because of Nazha’s interference, the topic would become chaotic, and more people would only be curious about Zhou Wang’s identity.

When the hype is high enough, Zhou Wang just needs to say ”for promotional needs,” and most self-proclaimed smart fans would suddenly realize the truth, sneer, and treat it as a publicity stunt for a charitable fund, while Xia Xiwei, being a guest, was merely cooperating with the marketing.

...Didn’t you see how reserved our Xixi is, just holding Zhou Wang’s hand, unlike Miss Gu who shamelessly leans her whole body over?

Xia Xiwei was furious inside. She didn’t expect her attempt to create an ambiguous public opinion narrative would be on the verge of collapse from the start.

By the time Xia Xiwei reacted, Zhou Wang had already brought her and Miss Gu into the lobby elevator. In a fleeting moment when the bodyguards behind them blocked the view, Zhou Wang let go of the two women and took advantage of a position shift to give Xia Xiwei a fierce spank on her shapely rear.

”Ah!”

”Put away your sneaky thoughts. This won’t happen again. When you see Aunt Yan, please convey my apologies. I’m really too busy to greet her personally.”

Zhou Wang walked past Xia Xiwei expressionlessly and paused his steps, ”And... nice feel, we’ll have a private chat someday.”

Xia Xiwei, with a blushing face, slightly covered her dress, staring wide-eyed at the departing dog man with a smirk, unable to process for a long time.

Her bright black eyes flickered with surprise, confusion, embarrassment, and other emotions.

She didn’t even have time to be angry at Zhou Wang for daring to spank her in broad daylight in public, but couldn’t figure out how Zhou Wang knew her mom was coming?

She hadn’t told Zhou Wang at all, and Zhou Wang couldn’t possibly have any direct contact with Yan Baiqiu...

It couldn’t be that Aunt Yan leaked it, although previously Yan Siyun always wanted her to give Zhou Wang’s contact information.

Then, the burning pain from her private area brought Xia Xiwei back to reality, seemingly to teach her a lesson, Zhou Wang didn’t hold back at all. The pain was indeed a bit painful, but there was also an unusual feeling lingering in her heart.

...After all, no one had ever treated her like that.

Aside from the odd emotion, Xia Xiwei couldn’t help but feel a bit happy because Zhou Wang had been behaving properly towards her before today, and the current gesture, couldn’t it be Zhou Wang hinting at something?

Thinking about Zhou Wang’s words ”we’ll have a private chat someday,” Xia Xiwei inexplicably felt a hint of anticipation.

After staying stunned for a few seconds, Xia Xiwei quickly came to her senses, unable to resist covering her burning face and said ”bah” several times.

”Xia Xiwei, you’re totally crazy, what are you thinking!”

...

While Xia Xiwei was being teased by Zhou Wang’s simple combo and her mind was unsettled, Zhou Wang had entered the elevator thinking about other concerns.

Some questions he previously had doubts about, he had received a side answer from Wang Ruixi, but there were still a few issues that needed an explanation from Guo Wangshan and others.

If the incident from before wasn’t that simple, how to handle his relationship with these few Magic City business moguls was another thing Zhou Wang needed to rethink.

”Boss...”

While Zhou Wang was lost in thought, Miao Ying beside him suddenly whispered to him.

”What’s up, Ying Tao?”

Zhou Wang looked at her with confusion.

”It’s nothing, just felt like... something about you seems different.”

Miao Ying replied softly.

Zhou Wang was taken aback, then came to a realization. After all, when one walks through the gates of life and death, how could there be no feelings at all?

If anything, it’s probably that his mindset has become clearer, and some of the things that puzzled Zhou Wang before were answered indirectly in the now-buried ”space-time.”

Ding!

At this moment, the elevator door opened, as expected, Jiang Qingkui and Lin Ran were already waiting here.

Jiang Qingkui was still dressed exquisitely, a pure black dress with an open back and high side slit, making her look like a vampire queen walking the dark night, her skin pale and noble.

”Mr. Zhou, the dinner has already been set up...”

Jiang Qingkui just began to speak with that distant smile, Zhou Wang had already stepped forward and gently hugged her unexpectedly.

Lin Ran and others widen their eyes beside them, Jiang Qingkui’s body stiffened, as she was about to push him away awkwardly, Zhou Wang softly whispered in her ear:

”You’ve worked hard these days. I trust your work, so nothing needs checking... Also, sorry about today. I didn’t specifically go to the airport to pick you up, but I think it might be because subconsciously I’ve already considered you as my own, so I didn’t deliberately focus on your flight.”

Zhou Wang spoke sincerely, ”Of course, no matter what, it’s my fault, and I apologize to you... Cheer up, our parents are here, today will be a special day for you, show your best self.”

Jiang Qingkui blinked in bewilderment.

This was a side of Zhou Wang she had never seen.

When the carefree and playful youth who only wanted to break her cold mask with mischievous words and actions suddenly played the ”sincere card,” Jiang Qingkui was not only bewildered but also found it difficult to maintain her cold and elegant exterior.

”Why... why are you saying this now? Let go of me, so many people are watching.”

Jiang Qingkui first pushed Zhou Wang slightly, then realized, ”Wait a minute, what did you say, whose parents are here?!”

”I told you it’s ours, who else do you think?”

Zhou Wang released her then playfully winked at her, ”I reckon the old folks are still lost in the lobby, you go get them... Your parents probably wanted to surprise you, so they didn’t tell you in advance.”

”That’s so unnecessary, what’s so surprising about this?”

Jiang Qingkui was a bit helpless yet happy, after all, she hadn’t gone home to see her parents for quite a while.

”By the way...”

Before leaving, Jiang Qingkui thought of something, about to introduce Du Mengqi and others on the side with slight embarrassment, Zhou Wang interjected first.

”These are your classmates, right? I guessed it, don’t worry, I’ll have someone arrange it well, you go ahead.”

This can be guessed too?

Jiang Qingkui was even more confused, while Du Mengqi and others looked at Zhou Wang with admiration, truly a big shot who could buy the top floor of the International Gold Center... It’s incredible.

Jiang Qingkui didn’t delve into it, she nodded before lifting her dress and rushing into the elevator, but before the door closed, Zhou Wang called to her again.

”Hey!”

”Hmm?”

”After you pick up our parents, don’t rush back, the CEO of Ginkgo Capital, Mr. Xu Qing, and his group are about to arrive. Go meet them too... hmm, keep a modest posture, don’t embarrass me.”

Zhou Wang simply didn’t want to see the ugly faces of Xiang Ming and Li Xiaoya again, so he let Jiang Qingkui handle it herself to avoid ruining his good mood.

”Oh, got it.”

Jiang Qingkui nodded, although somewhat unclear, she remembered Zhou Wang’s instructions, then rushed into the elevator with Xu Lingyue.

Next was Miss Yang and other stars entering, Zhou Wang hid nearby smoking a cigarette, calculating in his mind, and when the time was almost right, he returned to the elevator alongside Young Master Zhang and others.

Ding!

The elevator door opened once more, and the expected scene unfolded with Ding Yi and her mother, Nie Xiaoyun, coming into view.
