Chapter 1300 - 1315: The Four Young Lords of Handan
The film promotion lasted until noon and ended without any incidents, quite smoothly. Of course, the most eye-catching part of the press conference was Zhou Xun. Clad in a luxurious low-cut short dress, she looked extremely dazzling, driving the crowd of fans almost crazy. More exaggeratedly, a few male fans even got a nosebleed at the sight of Zhou Xun, which speaks volumes about her allure!After the press conference, the fans gradually dispersed, and Zhou Xun headed backstage. At this moment, a guy carrying a large bouquet of roses walked into the backstage dressing room.
"Miss Zhou, these are your flowers."
"Just leave them on the table," Zhou Xun said, not too surprised, as it was quite common for fans to send flowers due to her large following.
The person placed the flowers on the table and then took out a rectangular box. "Miss Zhou, this is also for you."
Zhou Xun opened the box and glanced inside. There was an expensive platinum necklace in it.
This caught Zhou Xun's attention. It's one thing for fans to send roses to express admiration, which is not unusual since a large bouquet of roses is only a few hundred bucks at most. But this platinum necklace was different, it cost at least tens of thousands!
"Wait, who is this necklace from?" Zhou Xun wanted to find out. She understood that ordinary fans would not give such expensive gifts, and with the flowers and necklace, it felt very off to Zhou Xun.
"Miss Zhou, I... I'm just here to deliver it. The person didn't allow me to say, so I'd rather not," the person hesitated, saying.
"Alright, since you won't say, take these things back," Zhou Xun said, looking at the man.
"I really can't explain it if I take them back," the man was even more troubled.
"Then tell me who it is," Zhou Xun insisted.
"It's... Prince. But please don't tell him I said so," the man said.
"Prince? Who is Prince?" Zhou Xun was quite confused. She had just arrived in Handan City and wasn't familiar with its affairs.
"Miss Zhou, I have something to attend to, I'll take my leave," the man said as he opened the door and left.
Zhou Xun glanced at the platinum necklace in the box without taking it out, and closed the box instead.
If it were just roses, Zhou Xun would have accepted them. After all, as a celebrity, this is a show of appreciation from fans. However, the platinum necklace was too much, and Zhou Xun certainly wouldn't accept it. All of Zhou Xun's personal accessories were gifts from Lin Mu. She generally rejected gifts from others as a form of respect towards Lin Mu—and mainly because what Lin Mu gifted was usually high-class, incomparable to those low-end trinkets others casually gave.
Zhou Xun tidied up, changed into casual attire, and was about to head back to the hotel. But just as she reached the arena's lobby entrance, a voice stopped her.
Zhou Xun turned and saw a slick-looking young man in a suit and tie, hands in pockets, walking over with a slightly sinister smirk on his face.
"Hello, Miss Zhou." The suave young man courteously greeted Zhou Xun, but even with such an act, it was impossible to hide his roguish playboy nature.
"Hello, and you are?" Zhou Xun asked, puzzled, looking at the suave young man. It didn't make sense for fans to be present, as the arena was temporarily closed. Only insiders could be inside.
"Haha, my apologies, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Wang Sicong, but my friends respect me and call me Prince," the suave young man cheerfully introduced himself.
Zhou Xun frowned slightly, realizing immediately that the roses and the necklace were surely from Wang Sicong.
"Those roses and the platinum necklace earlier, did you send them?" Zhou Xun asked, looking at Wang Sicong.
"Indeed, Miss Zhou, that was just a small gesture of mine, a little token. I hope you don't mind," Wang Sicong said, still maintaining his gentlemanly demeanor.
"Sorry, I'll accept the roses. However, the platinum necklace is too valuable for me to accept. I must return it to you," Zhou Xun said, taking the box out of her bag and handing it to Wang Sicong.
Wang Sicong stood there dumbfounded for a moment, clearly surprised. Generally, women hold diamond jewelry dearer than anything, yet Zhou Xun returned the precious platinum necklace to him.
Zhou Xun calmly returned the necklace to Wang Sicong and then called for her assistant as she walked out.
"Miss Zhou, Miss Zhou," Wang Sicong called several times, but Zhou Xun ignored him completely and walked out of the lobby serenely.
"Damn it, you filthy bitch, a tramp who doesn't know how to appreciate kindness!" Wang Sicong angrily hurled the necklace away, evidently furious over Zhou Xun's complete lack of regard.
"Hahahaha, Prince, how does it feel to lose, huh?" At this moment, a few men and women appeared from behind the column, with a chubby guy mockingly laughing at Wang Sicong.
Wang Sicong glared at the chubby guy in displeasure and said, "Screw you, you fatso, dare laugh at me?"
This fatty is actually a good friend of Wang Sicong's, named Sandbag.
"I wasn't mocking you. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Everyone was watching!" Sandbag laughed heartily.
"Prince, it seems your charm isn't all-powerful. Here's a girl who won't fall for it," a skeletal young man next to them added.
"Damn it, Bean Sprouts, even you're mocking me?" Wang Sicong felt annoyed.
In Wang Sicong's words, Bean Sprouts, whose real name is Jin Douya, was also a playmate of Wang Sicong.
Wang Sicong, Sandbag, and Jin Douya made up three of the Handan Four Young Masters, with the fourth one, their little leader Tang Wu, having been sidelined. So it was just the three of them hanging out now.
The three of them were together doing nothing but chasing women and drinking all day.
