Chapter 386: Chapter 380: Qiao Xi is Taken Away

At 6 o’clock in the evening, Qiao Xi was dressed in a complicated yet gorgeous gown as she boarded the nanny van.

Zhou Ge took the place of the original driver.

Boss Shen’s car followed behind.

The cars of the other bodyguards also followed at a moderate distance, keeping close to Qiao Xi’s nanny van.

At the moment, social media was abuzz with talk about tonight’s event.

Bei Bei scrolled through her phone, "Tonight is another night of competing glamour, but for sure, our Sister Xi will be the center of attention."

Wang Li chuckled lightly, "Don’t spread that outside, we need to be modest."

Bei Bei clicked her tongue and said, "With Sister Xi’s beauty, if we’re modest, people will accuse us of pretending."

Qiao Xi leaned against the backrest, her eyelashes slightly lowered, her voice carrying a light laugh, "One should still keep a low profile."

Qiao Xi had applied sparkling eye makeup; her pupils were naturally blacker than drawn eyeliner, adding a hint of natural charm.

The mascara-coated lashes were long and curled, making her eyes look large and her tea-colored irises exceptionally bright.

This eye makeup gave her an innate and prestigious aura, even in places where the light wasn’t bright.

Bei Bei couldn’t help but take photos of Qiao Xi in the car.

Wang Li asked, "Boss Shen’s car is behind ours, right?"

Qiao Xi nodded, "Yes."

Wang Li patted her shoulder, "See how great Boss Shen is? You say you don’t want to go public, and he keeps his distance. He really is a good man. Xixi, you have to hold on tight to his leg."

Noticing her shoulders were a bit cold, Wang Li draped a shawl over her shoulders.

Bei Bei clicked away with the camera again.

The gown Qiao Xi wore tonight featured an off-the-shoulder design. Soon, after getting out of the car, she would have to take off the shawl.

Qiao Xi glanced at Wang Li with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Am I not a ’big leg’ to hold on to?"

"You are!" Wang Li laughed, then said, "But Boss Shen’s ’legs’ are obviously thicker than yours."

The banquet hadn’t started yet.

Qiao Xi and Su Tutu’s appearances on the red carpet were scheduled relatively early.

Su Tutu hadn’t arrived yet, so Qiao Xi waited in the nanny van.

To prepare for the upcoming film festival, Qiao Xi and Su Tutu would have to walk the red carpet again later with Jiang Yongge and Qin Mo.

When it was time for their entrance, Qiao Xi and Su Tutu appeared hand in hand on the red carpet.

Qiao Xi’s gown was white, while it just happened that Su Tutu wore black. They hadn’t coordinated their outfits, but the contrast worked out ingeniously.

Their differing auras were eye-catching in their own ways, gathering the attention of the entire audience.

As female stars, others couldn’t help but feel envious of their level of attractiveness.

After standing on the stage and being photographed by the paparazzi, they stepped down.

The seats were all assigned by name.

They naturally sat together. Sheng Chao didn’t walk the red carpet, although he was already waiting below the stage. He sat beside Su Tutu.

Qiao Xi’s gaze was on the stage, which now featured Nie Qing and Nie Anfong, the sisters she hadn’t seen in a long time.

Nie Anfong had officially entered the entertainment industry.

With her elder sister Nie Qing around, her career had been smooth sailing since leaving the Dream Chasing Camp.

She wore a pink princess dress tonight, flawlessly accentuating her cuteness and playfulness.

Suddenly, a figure blocked her view, and in the corner of her eye, Qiao Xi saw someone take a seat.

She shifted her gaze and met eyes with Shen Dang.

The man was lazily smiling, even giving her a small lift of his eyebrows.

He had purposefully put on a tie tonight.

The one she had given him.

It was both austere and elegant.

He sat down opposite Qiao Xi.

Such a scene seemed familiar to Qiao Xi.

The proud and indolent aura still emanated from him, but it lacked the innate coldness and aloofness.

That couldn’t be his seat, could it?

Why had he taken a seat here?

There were other people at the table. Qiao Xi called out a soft "Boss Shen" and then fell silent.

Such a banquet was bound to be somewhat dull.

There was food on the table, and wine too.

But nobody had touched anything yet.

It wasn’t until Bei Bei approached her and quietly said in her ear, "Sister Xi, get ready to walk the red carpet with the ’Detective in the Republic Era’ crew," that she responded with a "Hmm."

Qiao Xi and Su Tutu left their seats together.

A few days earlier, Qiao Xi had run into Jiang Yongge at the company.

He was currently filming a movie and had come back from the set specifically for this event.

"Boss Qiao, when will you move to Four Seasons Cloud Top?" Jiang Yongge was familiar in his tone.

Qiao Xi smiled lightly, "After the new year, I suppose."

Jiang Yongge, "Don’t forget to invite me to your housewarming party then."

Qin Mo added, "And me too."

Qiao Xi smiled and nodded, "Of course, I won’t forget you guys."

According to professional box office forecasts, ’Detective in the Republic’ ultimately grossed 5.2 billion.

With an award-winning actor and nominated actors, along with skilled performers like Qiao Xi and Su Tutu, such a box office was well-deserved for their efforts.

After ’Detective in the Republic’, Qin Mo had joined another movie set; his other starring film had also applied for awards at this year’s festival.

Once the celebrity couple in front of them had walked down the red carpet, it was their turn.

Qiao Xi walked arm in arm with Jiang Yongge, and Su Tutu with Qin Mo, as the four of them stepped out confidently for the cameras.

However, when Jiang Yongge noticed the not-so-pleased look on a certain boss below, he immediately wanted to withdraw his arm.

Boss Shen’s gaze was rather intimidating.

The four stopped for photos.

The handsome men and beautiful women made a visually appealing group.

Once off the stage, Jiang Yongge swiftly pulled back his hand.

When Qiao Xi returned to her table, she noticed that Shen Dang had again switched places with someone and was now sitting right next to her.

Qiao Xi: "..."

He was being rather bold.

Qiao Xi slightly turned her head and whispered, "Why did you move here?"

Shen Dang also tilted his head, his voice light, "What’s the problem? This way, others won’t notice our relationship."

It’s darker under the lamp, as the saying goes.

That evening, the people at the table who were unaware of their relationship didn’t catch on to any tricks between Shen Dang and Qiao Xi.

Once the banquet began, Qiao Xi and Su Tutu didn’t mind if others ate or not, they took the opportunity to eat their fill.

The evening was filled with non-stop singing and dancing.

Seeing Qiao Xi’s attention stayed on the stage, Shen Dang curved his lips slightly, leaning in beside her, "Like what you see?"

An idol boy group was performing on the stage.

Qiao Xi glanced at Shen Dang, her lips moving slightly, "Younger brothers, who doesn’t like them? They are young."

Shen Dang’s smile was suggestive as a low voice wrapped around his tongue, "Tonight, I’ll show you I’m no less than a younger man."

Qiao Xi acted as if she hadn’t heard his words.

During the donation segment, Qiao Xi donated one million.

The charitable Boss Shen donated a hefty five million.

After the charity banquet ended, Qiao Xi and her party made their way to the underground parking lot.

Zhou Ge opened the car door, and a shadow within threw a punch towards him.

"Miss Qiao, take cover!"

The scene suddenly descended into chaos!

Other bodyguards, noticing the disturbance, jumped out of their vehicles, converging towards the commotion.

The roar of engines suddenly erupted in the semi-dark area; a black car raced out of a corner, aiming to hit anyone in its path.

The bodyguards scattered in every direction.

Qiao Xi also moved to the side, but as the car passed by her, a hand suddenly reached out from inside the car and yanked her with great force.

Qiao Xi didn’t react in time; half of her body was pulled onto the car, the door was still open, and the car sped off before it closed.

A bodyguard yelled out.

"Miss Qiao has been taken!"
