Chapter 398 Banquet

Su Xi was taken aback upon hearing this.

"He's here too?"

Chen Le nodded.

"Yes, I heard they're here for the weekend banquet too."

Su Xi frowned upon hearing this. Chen Le knew she was worried about his safety, since Chen Le was now, on the surface, a rival to the Xiang family.

"Don't worry too much, the Xiang family isn't so lawless as to lay a hand on me,"

Chen Le shrugged and explained methodically.

"However, this banquet is very likely a special event organized by the Xiang family to promote Xiang Xiatian."

At this point, Chen Le looked at Su Xi again and then asked.

"Do you want to go to the banquet this weekend?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xi quickly shook her head.

"I won't go. I don't really like those kinds of occasions."

Chen Le didn't force her. He knew Su Xi didn't like that kind of atmosphere, and he also didn't want Su Xi to be exposed to the media.

However, Chen Le couldn't help but tease him.

"Aren't you afraid I'll run off with another woman at the party?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xi couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Isn't Miss Bai Zhi watching over you?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Le couldn't help but give a wry smile.

"You really trust me?"

Su Xi chuckled softly.

"What do I have to worry about? If you dare to do anything reckless, I'll throw you out!"

Chen Le shook his head helplessly. Although Su Xi said that, he still hoped that she could go with him.

Just as Chen Le was about to try to persuade Su Xi again, Su Xi suddenly thought of something.

"You came here on business, so I didn't bring you any clothes for the banquet."

Upon hearing this, Chen Le was taken aback, then slapped his forehead.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that."

Upon seeing this, Su Xi couldn't help but chuckle.

"Alright, stop slapping your head, you're making yourself stupid."

Upon hearing this, Chen Le couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"I'm so worried, and you're still laughing."

Su Xi said with a light laugh,

"What's there to worry about? The banquet is on Sunday, it's still early. Why don't we just go and order an outfit tomorrow?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Le's eyes lit up.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?"

Su Xi rolled her eyes.

"You're always busy with work, you never think about these things."

Chen Le chuckled, then looked at Su Xi.

"So you're really not coming with me?"

Su Xi shook her head upon hearing this.

"I won't go. I don't really like those kinds of occasions."

Chen Le shrugged.

"Okay then, wait for me in the car, I'll be out soon."

Su Xi nodded.

"it is good."

Seeing this, Chen Le didn't press the matter further. After all, he knew Su Xi's personality; she didn't like those kinds of occasions, and even if he dragged her there, she wouldn't be happy.

Moreover, with Bai Zhi around, Su Xi didn't need to worry about her safety.

Chen Le put his arm around Su Xi and whispered in her ear.

"A long night like this, nothing to do?"

Su Xi's delicate body trembled, she glared at Chen Le, and pinched the soft flesh of his waist.

"You, all you ever think about is these things."

Chen Le grabbed Su Xi's delicate hand, kissed it, and giggled.

"Life is short, so enjoy it while you can."

A hint of shyness flashed in Su Xi's eyes, but she couldn't resist Chen Le's advances and soon succumbed to his charms.

A charming room.

……

The next morning.

Chen Le struggled to get up at Su Xi's urging.

He exercised too much last night, and even now he still feels sore in his back and weak in his legs.

Seeing Su Xi's energetic appearance, Chen Le couldn't help but mutter to himself,

"You don't look tired at all?"

Su Xi rolled her eyes at him.

"You're blaming me for your own incompetence?"

"..."

Chen Le was speechless.

After washing up, the two went to Bai Zhi's room.

Chen Le originally wanted Bai Zhi, a local from Gangcheng, to take them to a nearby suit shop to have their clothes custom-made.

Unexpectedly, Bai Zhi, a local, knew less about Gangcheng than Chen Le and Su Xi, two outsiders.

Bai Zhi said with an embarrassed expression,

"I'm usually busy with training, so I rarely have time to go shopping."

Upon hearing this, Chen Le didn't say anything. After all, everyone has their own life. Bai Zhi is a bodyguard, and it's normal that she's busy with training and doesn't have time to go shopping.

"It's okay, I'll ask someone else."

Chen Le originally wanted to contact Chu Yaoyang and Brother Hao, since these two had been in Hong Kong longer than him and would definitely know where to find good suit shops.

But then I thought about it again. Brother Hao still has to manage the construction site today, and Chu Yaoyang just asked him to take care of a new actor yesterday. These two probably won't be able to get away.

Just as Chen Le was in a dilemma, Bai Zhi suddenly said,

"Should I contact Xiaomi?"

"Millet?"

Chen Le was stunned for a moment before realizing that Bai Zhi was referring to Bai Xiaomi.

Chen Le hesitated for a moment.

"convenient?"

I don't know many people in Hong Kong, so I can't really ask Brother Hao to put down his work and go shopping with me, can I?

As for Chu Yaoyang, that kid is probably busy "exchanging acting tips" with the young actors he just met.

The problem is, Bai Xiaomi isn't familiar with him either.

Although Chen Le knew that Bai Xiaomi was his fan, he couldn't just order her around like that, could he?

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi's tone remained indifferent.

"It's okay, I'll call and ask."

After saying that, without waiting for Chen Le's agreement, he took out his phone and made a call.

On the other end of the phone, Bai Xiaomi was clearly still asleep, her voice muffled.

No wonder, Bai Xiaomi is a freelancer who doesn't have to work a regular job, so it's normal for her to sleep late and wake up late.

Bai Zhi knew from Bai Xiaomi's groggy voice that the girl was still asleep.

So he said to Chen Le.

"She's not awake yet."

Chen Le nodded, and then said,

"It's okay, I'll just find someone else."

Just as Bai Zhi was about to hang up the phone, Bai Xiaomi on the other end suddenly said excitedly,

"Director Chen is looking for me?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi glanced at Chen Le and explained,

"Mr. Chen wants to have a suit custom-made in the port city."

It's the same familiar style: say as few words as possible.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaomi instantly perked up.

"I know it well!"

His tone was full of surprise and anticipation.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi glanced at Chen Le, and seeing that Chen Le had no objections, she continued,

"Then come over here?"

"almost there!"

Bai Xiaomi was very efficient; in less than half an hour, she appeared in front of Chen Le and Su Xi.

Bai Xiaomi was wearing loose pajamas and a cute sleeping cap. Although she was wearing makeup, she still couldn't hide the haggard look on her face.

Upon seeing this, Su Xi couldn't help but ask with concern,

"Xiao Mi, you look terrible, are you alright?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaomi smiled and shook her head.

"It's nothing, I just stayed up late last night."
