Su Jiu’s heart beat even faster. I can’t. I can’t stand it when he’s so close!

Staring into Rong Si’s deep eyes, she could only blush and say, “I… Alright! I admit that I’m jealous. So what? If you try this again another time, I’ll be angry. I won’t let you talk me out of it!”

Rong Si smiled suddenly. “Alright.”

Only then did Su Jiu feel better. At this moment, she noticed that a reporter had come backstage. She suspected he was here to look for Rong Si again, so she hurriedly grabbed Rong Si’s hand and led him away from the scene.

When the award ceremony was broadcasted live online, few people paid attention to it at first. Most of the viewers were from the academic world. However, the next day, the video of the ceremony went viral!

A topic named #Handsome_young_man_at_the_awards quickly became a trending topic. Many people clicked on it out of curiosity. When they saw Rong Si, they were stunned.

Countless girls’ hearts started pounding, and their faces went red, as if they had seen their first love!

“Ahhh! My God! Who is this little brother? How handsome! Ah! it completely subverts my image of the academic elite! I thought they were all old or bald men!”

“So handsome! Even more handsome than my brother! I want to marry him!”

“This little brother looks so cold! He’s expressionless the entire time, but really, why is he so handsome? Oh my god! Does he have a Weibo account? Quickly, tell me!”

“Is such a handsome and talented young man real? Am I dreaming?”

“I’ve seen him dozens of times, but I haven’t seen enough. How can there be such a good-looking boy!”

***

People kept leaving comments at the bottom of the video. The number of views was also exploding. People even posted comments about Rong Si. Someone had isolated his image and even taken many screenshots.

They realized that no matter what angle the photo was captured from, he looked handsome!

Overnight, Rong Si had become popular and gained many fans. Unfortunately, those fans couldn’t find his Weibo. There was little news about him, so it was inevitable that they felt somewhat regretful.

When Su Shengjing saw the situation on Weibo, he could not help but sneer.

Hmph, this kid is really something. His popularity has skyrocketed all of a sudden. He is really charming. Wait, this wouldn’t do either. If his popularity gets too high, wouldn’t he have a chance to hook up with many girls?

D*mn it. If that boy dares to do anything to let Little Jiu down, I’ll kill him!

On the other hand, when Rong Si returned to the hotel, he was stopped by several people. Among them was a talent scout who asked him directly if he wanted to sign a contract to debut as a celebrity. It would be much more profitable than him doing academic research!

Rong Si coldly replied that he was not interested and pulled Su Jiu away.

This scout was from China. As he watched Rong Si hold Su Jiu’s hand, his gaze could not help but fall on her. Looking carefully, he suddenly felt that this girl’s figure was a little familiar. That slender figure… especially those beautiful long legs. I seem to have seen them somewhere before.

Unfortunately, the girl was wearing a cap and mask that hid her identity too well.

Also, Rong Si did not respond to the offer of becoming a celebrity even with such good conditions. It’s a waste of the resources given to him by the heavens. It’s also a huge loss to the entertainment industry. Also, the girl beside him is his girlfriend, right?

He had such good looks and a great body. The scout wondered what kind of girl could stand beside him and match him.

Rong Si was indeed not interested in being a celebrity. That was not his goal.

However, besides the offer from the talent scout, he had received calls from well-known financial or investment firms. They said that they were optimistic about his prospects.

After all, to make such academic achievements at such a young age proved that he was not an ordinary person. They asked if he had any intention of working for their company. They intended to groom him for a leadership position.

Rong Si told them his next move. This had been in his mind all along. The investors were overjoyed and immediately asked him to talk to them at the company.

When Rong Si ended the call, Su Jiu was a little excited. Is the little villain going to start working at these companies? I look forward to him becoming the boss!

She asked curiously, “Big Brother, what are you going to do after graduation? Are you going to work at those companies?”

Rong Si nodded. “Yes, but I won’t be working for long. I want to have my own company.”

“Alright, I support you!” Su Jiu made a cheering gesture at him. “I look forward to the day you become a domineering CEO!”

Rong Si smiled again. “Then, on that day, will you be my little wife?”

Su Jiu was speechless.

Have I misheard?

How does the little villain know about the joke about the overbearing CEO and his little wife?

Well, he’s smart enough to know a lot of things. Su Jiu didn’t dig deeper but smiled cutely. “Sure!”

“Really?” Rong Si raised his eyebrows and held out his pinkie finger for a pinkie. “It’s a deal.”

Su Jiu also readily hooked her pinky with his. “It’s a deal! But, Big Brother, you have to hurry. Don’t make me wait too long. It’ll be troublesome if you make me wait until I’m thirty or forty!”

Rong’s smile widened. “Would I be useless if I made you wait that long?”

Then he pulled her into his arms and bent his head to whisper in her ear. “Five years. Five at the most.”

“Okay, then I’ll wait for you for five years.” Su Jiu thought for a moment. After five years, she would graduate from university and be old enough to get married.

That’s not true. I’m barely an adult but am already thinking so far ahead. Su Jiu, aren’t you ashamed?

Rong Si’s eyes darkened when he looked at her flushed face. Something was stirring in his heart.

Suddenly, he wanted that day to come quickly. He could openly marry her and then bully her…

After staying at the hotel for another two days, Su Jiu could only go back under Su Shengjing’s urging.

The movie about her kidnapping was about to start filming. She followed Su Shengjing to the set.

After such a long time, Su Jiu suddenly felt a sense of familiarity when she walked into such a filming set again.

She wondered what kind of person she would become in the future. Would she become a shining star like her parents?

The little villain was a tyrant and she a star. Wasn’t that a common setting in romance novels?

It didn’t seem bad. She could give it a shot!

After two tense months of filming, the production team was finally finished. The director kept praising Su Jiu for her good acting. Her control of her emotions and her acting were especially natural. She was even better than some actors who had trained in acting. It was as if she was born to do this.

In the past, Su Shengjing would not have wanted his daughter to enter the entertainment industry. He felt that it was too dangerous.

But now that he was at the top of the circle and had the ability to protect her, he could allow her to do what she was interested in and liked.

He would protect her all the way.
