The scenery outside the Maybach window quickly receded.
Xia Yishan sat upright next to Su Jingting, stealing glances at him from time to time.
Su Jingting was holding a laptop and working as if in an office, looking serious and handsome.
Ah, truly a movie emperor, with no blind spots in his 360-degree charm, even using a computer with such seriousness, so handsome!
So handsome that words cannot describe it!
Xia Yishan stole another glance, and then another...
Just then, Su Jingting turned his head.
Their intense gazes met, and the temperature in the entire space rose.
With a snap, the laptop closed.
"Seen enough?" Su Jingting raised an eyebrow.
Xia Yishan covered her chest, feeling like Cupid's arrow had struck her heart.
"No... I mean, I've seen enough..." Xia Yishan's mind raced, immediately shifting to a less awkward topic. "Su Emperor, did you call me for something?"
Xia Yishan knew she was asking a leading question; she didn't believe Su Emperor would call her just to chat.
"I came to talk to you."
"..." She must have misheard.
"Miss Xia, did you see the misunderstanding on Weibo?"
"I saw it. It wasn't me. I was the one in the photo, but I didn't have the actual picture at the time. I didn't mean to ride on your popularity!" Xia Yishan was almost swearing on her fingers.
"I see."
"..." What do you want? Just say it!
"Miss Xia, what do you think of me?"
"You... are a perfect movie emperor, with an imposing presence, outstanding appearance, and a myriad of charm and talent that captivates countless young girls."
"..." Isn't that a bit exaggerated?
"Su Emperor, don't be modest. In the hearts of your loyal fans, you are impeccable."
"What about in your heart?"
"Me? I'm also your loyal fan."
Indirectly admitting that she liked him, very good!
"Since Miss Xia thinks I'm perfect, and I happen to be in need of a girlfriend, why not consider it?"
Xia Yishan almost fell off the leather seat.
"Is my hearing okay? Am I hallucinating?"
Su Jingting helped her sit back and personally handed her a bottle of mineral water. "Really not considering it?"
Too... Su...
Gentle and considerate, with a magnetic voice. How could she refuse?
"Are you really Su Jingting?" Xia Yishan wanted to pinch his face to verify.
"Absolutely."
Could it be... Su Emperor, successful in his career, pressured by his age, and forced into marriage by his family? Xia Yishan quickly imagined Su Jingting being pressured into marriage by his family, and in an instant, she looked at him with immense sympathy.
"Can I understand that, Emperor Su, you need a girlfriend?"
"Yes." That's not wrong.
"But I'm only eighteen..."
"..." Su Jingting was speechless. He had indeed overlooked this point. "Age is not a problem."
"At best, I'm just a student at Xiyin, with a lot of bad habits, fighting, and being a rebellious girl..."
"It's okay."
"My future goal is to enter the entertainment industry. Even if I become your girlfriend, it can only be a secret relationship. Even in a secret relationship, I can't help you, right? Anyway, whether you rent me as your girlfriend or rent someone else, it's still renting. You might as well find someone else!"
Using the word "rent"...
Su Jingting tapped the closed laptop with his slender fingers. "The person in the exposed photo is you."
"..."
"You are the most suitable."
"..." No, I'm not suitable.
"It's you!"
"..."
"We're here. Get out."
Here? Where... are we?
