Chapter 2096: Chapter 2099: The Manager Fears Maimai’s Rumored Romance
Maimai posed for the camera in the stylist-designed outfit, every move exuding unspeakable charm. When Sheng Sheng walked in, few people noticed him, mainly because everyone was busy, but the director saw him and came over to greet him.
The director had a good impression of him and, knowing from the previous dinner that he was Maimai’s cousin, quickly guessed that he was there to visit Maimai.
Sheng Sheng stood to the side with one hand in his pocket, chatting casually with the director, but his eyes were always following Maimai.
Her makeup was exquisite, making her look very calm and with a touch of innocence. Maybe that was the image the makeup artist intended to portray. Sheng Sheng found it intriguing. The Maimai in front of the camera and the one he knew were completely different, offering a different flavor.
Maimai noticed him too but didn’t show it, waiting until the photo shoot was over. Then she suddenly skipped over to Sheng Sheng, hooked his wrist, instantly capturing everyone’s gossip interest in the studio.
"This is my cousin," Maimai introduced Sheng Sheng to everyone, then happily pulled him to the adjacent lounge. Maimai was in a good mood, her face glowing, "Hey, what goodies did you bring me?"
"A working meal." Sheng Sheng replied with a faint smile.
"Don’t talk to me about working meals. The ones the company gives me make me want to puke!"
Maimai opened the food box, and after confirming it’s not a working meal, her smile blossomed even more brightly. Besides the main course, there was also a small cake, which she decisively opted to devour first.
Maimai picked up a delicate little spoon, only after a few bites did she remember to ask, "Did you eat yet?"
Sheng Sheng glanced at the cream on her lips, reached out to wipe it off gently, saying, "I haven’t. I’ll eat with you."
"No wonder you prepared so much. I thought you were trying to fatten me up like a pig." Maimai scooped a spoon of cream towards him, but Sheng Sheng shook his head with a smile, "I don’t eat cake."
Sweets like these are only loved by girls.
With a slightly disdainful look, he turned his head away. Maimai licked the cream with her tongue and swallowed it, thinking, "Fine, if you don’t want to eat it, more for me." The cream was so delicate, her favorite flavor.
"Wait for me here. I’ll be done in an hour, then how about we go for a drive in the countryside this afternoon?"
Maimai’s eyes sparkled with a coquettish glow, truly a rare sight of cuteness.
Although Sheng Sheng knew she had ulterior motives, probably just to keep him in Los Angeles, he smiled inside, nodded, and said, "Whatever you say."
Mission accomplished!
Maimai took a few more bites of the cake: "Then wait for me here."
Maimai had only eaten a little bit of the cake when her agent called her away, giving Sheng Sheng a glance. Since they weren’t familiar, she pulled Maimai aside and whispered, "Is he really your cousin, not your boyfriend?"
"He’s my cousin! Haven’t you seen my Weibo? I even went on a year-long vacation with him before." Maimai wiped her mouth.
The agent breathed a sigh of relief. It was the first time she had seen a man visit Maimai on set, and such a handsome and charming one at that. Just sitting there, he exuded an overwhelming presence. Although he looked young, he gave off an incredibly strong vibe. The agent was worried about Maimai getting into a romance and rumors spreading.
Moreover, the company was really strict with her and didn’t allow her to get involved ambiguously with men, probably under the instruction of her benefactor behind the scenes.
