After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 2025: Chapter 2029: The World Is So Big

Spending all day on set, he’d seen enough of this kind of thing; with his mental acuity he naturally had a rough idea how it worked. Add in the wig, fake beard, colored contacts and the like, and of course the effect was pretty good.

”Don’t let Luo Ke see that watch!” Leng Zirui pulled his hand back and reminded him in a low voice. ”Just in case.”

”Got it.” Leng Zimo took the watch off his wrist and slipped it into his pocket. ”You can tell Luo Ke I only speak Italian.”

Given that Luo Ke had met him before, even though Leng Zimo could disguise his appearance, there was no way to change his voice. So he switched to Italian instead; since it wasn’t the same language family, the timbre would sound very different.

Leng Zirui nodded, then added a few more things he needed to watch out for. After all, when it came to going undercover, Leng Zirui had more experience than he did.

”You have to remember, your eyes—especially when you look at Xiao Qian—you must be careful. The details decide success or failure. If Luo Ke senses something’s off, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

”Okay.” Leng Zimo committed it to memory. ”I’ve already given your phone number to Ah Jiu. If they get any news about Dr. Yin Yi, they’ll contact you by cell... Also, Xu Xia is here.”

”Xiao Xia?” Leng Zirui started. ”That crazy girl, what is she doing here? Things aren’t messy enough already?”

”She’s got work—shooting promo photos and MV locations in Rome.” Leng Zimo said.

”Are you kidding me?” Leng Zirui shot him an angry look. ”Why didn’t you change her work schedule? The Earth is so big, why does she have to come to Rome? Hawaii, Greece... can’t she shoot there? Why does it have to be Rome?”

Leng Zimo shrugged. ”Sorry, I really did forget.”

First Jiao Yang was captured, then something happened to Luo Xiaoqian. His mind had long since been completely occupied by this; how could he still remember that Xu Xia’s work had been scheduled in Rome.

Leng Zirui let out a slow breath. ”It’s not your fault. Sorry, I got too worked up just now.”

”I understand.” Leng Zimo gave his younger brother a reassuring look. ”Xiao Jie and the others will escort Mo Mo and Xu Xia over together. I’ve already told Ah Jiu to do everything possible to keep them safe.”

”Mo Mo is coming too?” Leng Zirui looked at him in exasperated amusement. ”What’s with that Little Thing now?”

Mentioning Luo Jun, Leng Zimo was helpless as well. ”He somehow found out I was in Rome and secretly slipped onto the plane himself. Luckily he ended up on the same flight as Xu Xia.”

”You still shouldn’t have let him come to Rome. Why didn’t you have Xiao Jie and the others take him back to Beijing?”

”He begged me on the phone. I really couldn’t turn him down.” Leng Zimo frowned, his tone full of distress. ”I owe that kid too much. I can’t disappoint him again.”

Leng Zirui furrowed his brows and raised a hand to pat his shoulder.

”Don’t overthink it. Anyway, we get Xiao Qian out as soon as possible, and then the three of you go straight back to Beijing...” He hesitated for a moment, then spoke again. ”How many days is Xu Xia staying?”

”If everything goes smoothly, about a week.”

”A week?” Leng Zirui leaned back in the seat. ”Can’t you get her to leave earlier?”

Leng Zimo glanced out the car window and saw two subordinates already coming out carrying things. ”She’s a real perfectionist about her work. And if her schedule suddenly changed right now, she’d definitely get suspicious.”

”Fine.” Leng Zirui nodded. ”I’ll just try my best to avoid her.”
