But Si Xia only whipped out his phone from his pocket and dialled a number. He picked up his pace again as he put the phone to his ear.
Chen frowned as the heat slowly disapated from her cheeks.
Had Si Xia only slowed down to make a call? Was it just a coincidence that he had been almost at her seat when he slowed? Or was it all planned? Was she thinking too much?
Yu Chen walked out of the auditorium smiling from ear to ear.
She was truly very happy for Zenghai and Hua and couldn't wait for the wedding.
Chen shivered and pulled her overcoat closer to herself as a strong gust of wind suddenly blew out of nowhere. It had begun to snow while the event was underway and had gotten really cold.
Yu Chen was just thinking how much of a pain it would be to wait for a taxi in the snow when a voice suddenly called out from behind her, "Could I give you a lift to somewhere miss?"
Chen whipped around to find a dashing young man stepping out of a red Porche.
He ran a hand through his hair and let out a warm smile and spoke again as Chen recognised him to be a B-list celebrity who was one of the opening acts of today's events.
Yu Chen let out a cold smile and said, "No thank you. I'll take a taxi."
The celebrity, whose name Chen remembered to be Zao something, shook his head and said, "You are wise not to get in a car with a stranger. But don't worry miss, my driver is in the car too. And if you still feel unsafe, here."
Mr. Zao motioned to his driver who got out of the car.
"The keys are in the ignition, you can take the car." Zao continued.
Chen's face broke into a defeated smile. Either this man was too desperate or had really fallen in love with a girl with black hair and rather large lips, because that was what Chen was dressed as.
"If you give me your car, how will you go back home then?" Chen asked.
Zao smiled, "I wouldn't be able to rest easy if I left a woman alone on a pavement."
Yu Chen opened her mouth but Zao continued, "I'm not going to force you to accept my lift. But I can make sure you get a taxi."
Saying this he planted himself beside Chen and motioned for his driver to get back into the car.
Yu Chen chuckled upon seeing that Zao had already started to shiver. He was only wearing a suit and was in no position to stand on the pavement in the snow.
"Why don't you go in the car? You will catch a terrible cold if you stay here." Chen said.
"I don't care. I'll wait till you get a taxi. I don't care if I freeze to death." Zao replied, his teeth chattering.
Chen smiled and pulled off her blue gloves. She gave them to Zao and said, "Here. I can't give you my coat cause then I'll freeze to death. But at least your hands will be warm now."
