The first to appear on the red carpet was the leading actress of "Rock Youth", Jiang Xuanqi, a noteworthy ingénue in the entertainment industry. Contracted with Starlight Entertainment and younger than Yu Zexiao, Jiang Xuanqi ventured into the scene even earlier than he did and embraced the pure and sweet persona. In a white chiffon polka dot strapless mini dress, her beautiful long curls playfully swept to one side, she exuded tenderness and charm. With every step and every smile, she was utterly enchanting.
Upon reaching the red carpet, she didn't proceed; instead, she turned around and gazed into the distance, silently waiting. In her beautiful eyes flickered a hint of expectation.
The reporters' cameras, following Jiang Xuanqi's gaze, also looked toward the distance.
At seven fifty-nine
Against the backdrop of night, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom cut through the dark sky like a phantom, swiftly approaching.
Under the watchful eyes of all, the car slowly stopped in front of the red carpet, and the rear door opened. What first caught one's gaze was a pair of authoritative military boots. Further up, strong, shapely legs were encased in tailored black trousers. A checkered grey long coat with studded belts wrapped around the waist glinted dazzlingly under the flashlights.
Plump lips with perfect contours, even the slight tension at the corners was just right. Slightly tousled hair, as rich and smooth as chocolate, flawless from any angle.
Yu Zexiao had arrived!
The media, reporters, and fans on site went wild! Flashbulbs lit up the scene as screams, cheers, and even the sobbing of some overwhelmed fans interwove into an unceasing cacophony.
Yu Zexiao simply stood with his hands on his back, his slanted brows knitted slightly together. Even his thin lips were pressed tightly — those who knew him could tell he was in a foul mood.
His obsidian-like beautiful eyes roamed, clearly in search of someone.
Jiang Xuanqi's eyes lit up the moment she saw Yu Zexiao. Not waiting for him to come over, she smiled and took the initiative to walk toward him. She stood elegantly by Yu Zexiao's side as they stood shoulder to shoulder — dressed in finery, a handsome man and a beautiful woman surrounded by a barrage of flashing lights, the scene was striking.
Moreover, this was the Little Heavenly King's first television drama, naturally drawing the attention of countless reporters and fans.
In the control room on the third floor, Jian Anning withdrew her gaze, turned around, and poured herself a cup of coffee from the water bar.
She admitted that when she first joined the company, she too had been dazzled by Yu Zexiao's handsomeness, seemingly unreal. But now, remembering him only brought a sense of absurd disillusionment.
Beside her, the conversation buzzed: "Did you see Yu Zexiao? His voice is so nice, and he's so handsome, plus his family is so wealthy! Who knows what kind of woman he would be interested in?"
Jian Anning turned to see that the speaker was a newly signed actress with Starlight Entertainment, one who adopted the sexy persona. Standing in seventeen-centimeter high heels, she wore a hot mini skirt and a face laden with heavy makeup, filled with longing.
Ignoring the idle chatter of those around her, Jian Anning lifted the steaming cup of coffee to her lips for a sip. She turned and headed toward the work station, ready to review the surveillance footage. Just as she took a step, the handsome face that suddenly appeared at the door startled her so much she almost spilled her coffee all over the floor!
