Rebirth from the Ashes - Chapter 495

Chapter 495: It Was Her

Then.

It was a winner.

With a complicated look on his face, Li Yuan glanced at his hands.

His hands were capable of a 100% success rate when it came to guns, darts, and pelts.

Shen Xi stared at the stall owner. “Give it to us.”

The stall owner handed the stuffed bunny to her. He took a good look at Shen Xi before turning to the man in the wheelchair. The stall owner wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to do so since he took a lot of money from the man in the wheelchair.

He was starting to suspect there might be something wrong with his rings or perhaps the hottie in the wheelchair was losing on purpose if he continued to miss the shots.

The surrounding tourists even raised doubt about the game being rigged since no one could make any winning throw. The stall owner felt aggrieved to be labelled a crook.

Fortunately, the girl managed to win in one throw. She was either lucky or very skilled.

Shen Xi turned around with the bunny in her arms and pulled off the plastic bag over it before stuffing the bunny to Li Yuan. Bending over, she looked into his eyes and smiled. “Do you still want to have go?”

Li Yuan’s complexion was painted a rosy blush. He cleared his throat and turned his head away. He calmly said, “Let’s get out of here.”

He screwed up big time.

Shen Xi observed the man with downcast eyes and a plushie in hand. The adorable stuffed bunny did not go well with that stoic and noble presence of his. Nevertheless, it was still a cute sight. Pursing her lips to sneak a smile, she pushed him to leave.

The stall owner grabbed the remaining rings and tried to call Shen Xi back since she only used one ring. However, he quickly stopped in his tracks when the girl leaned over to talk to the man in the wheelchair.

The young lady was as beautiful as a fairy while the man in the wheelchair was quite the hunk. The couple looked like they walked out of a painting.

A dazzling show of lights blanketed over the pair.

The scenery of them together drew a vivid and gorgeous tapestry.

It was a pity though; the man was bound to the wheelchair. Nevertheless, there was no such thing as perfection in the world and only imperfection was realistic.

The amusement park was as lively as ever.

While pushing Li Yuan’s wheelchair, Shen Xi was filled with inner peace. She wanted to quietly walk on, feeling content as she listened to the hustle-bustle and people-watch. Going for rides and attractions completely slipped her mind.

Li Yuan held onto the plushie and tuned into her breathing and her footsteps, picking up her scent amid the crowd. His lips curled into a delightful smile.

There was no need to play or say anything. This was good enough.

The pair took a stroll around until Shen Xi gave up. They passed by a stall to buy candied fruit and a yam berry. Shen Xi took the candied fruit and gave Li Yuan the yam berry. “Brother, let’s head back.”

Shen Xi felt defeated by the crowd everywhere. Even a thrilling ride like the roller coaster had a long queue. It was unlikely they could get on any rides at all.

Li Yuan took a bite out of the yam berry. His narrow eyes reflected no regret but anticipation instead. He hummed with delight. “We’ll come back next time.”

“Sure.” Hearing the man’s inaudible answer, Shen Xi turned sideways to take a quick look before snickering to herself.

He appeared rather down-to-earth holding the stuffed bunny and confetti balloons while eating the yam berry. It was a side to Li Yuan she had never seen before. What a darling.

The trip to the amusement park ended with two strolls back and forth. They spent over a thousand at ring tossing to win a bunny and nothing else.

Kun Lun was waiting by the amusement park’s entrance. Gazing at the pair heading his way, Kun Lun nearly burst out laughing. With all his might, he held back the urge to make a smart *ss remark and laugh.

Jesus.

What was with that image? Boss was holding a fluffy toy plushie, two illuminating balloons, and a half-eaten yam berry.

Logic could not be used on people who were in love. Kun Lun was tempted to snap this strange – oops, no – down-to-earth picture of Boss to show his comrades but had no guts to do so!

Following a rant in his mind, Kun Lun went up. “Boss, allow me.”

To his surprise, Li Yuan tightened his grip around the bunny. With his narrow eyes reflecting wariness, he solemnly uttered, “No need.”

Kun Lun was rendered speechless. F*cking hell. Boss reacted as though he was trying to steal his toy. How should he put it? It dawned on Kun Lun that Boss was quite childish!

Nevertheless, it made Boss appear more human and not an almighty unfeeling ruler.

It was an hour’s journey from the amusement park back to the castle where the shoot was.

Taking a seat next to Shen Xi, Li Yuan watched as the young lady applied makeup with her nimble hands. Like magic, she transformed her look and demeanor. Li Yuan had to remind Kun Lun to keep an eye on the wheel.

It was Kun Lun’s first experience to witness this style of makeup. Her hands did not shake in the cruising car. Looking at her transformative makeup through the rear-view mirror, Kun Lun had to tip his hat to her.

Ms. Shen’s technique was mind-blowing!

No matter how steady the car was, there was bound to be a few moments of jerking. The lighting was too dim too. With these factors slowing Shen Xi down, she only managed to finish once they arrived at their destination across the road from the castle. She turned to the man beside her. “Brother, can you get off for a bit? I need to change my clothes.”

Li Yuan nodded and quickly wheeled himself out to wait outside the car. He looked at the car window for a minute before turning away.

Standing at one corner, Kun Lun glanced at the car window before catching a glimpse of Boss beside. The latter gave him a warning look, scaring Kun Lun out of his wits. He rubbed his eyes and dared not look around anymore.

Kun Lun really was not up to anything. He was only curious. One-way mirrors were installed as the windows so nothing could be seen from the outside.

Across the road, a black executive van pulled up at the entrance and down walked an aloof woman. The gorgeous lady with sunglasses and a commanding presence to her was surrounded by the production crew.

As the woman got down the car, she intuitively turned her head to the opposite side of the road and saw the man waiting by the Maybach.

It was hard not to notice a man standing out on his own. There was an air of nobility, indifference, stoic, chilling danger to him that stopped anyone from getting close.

Despite the distance, she could clearly sense the tension from him and get a look at his good looks.

The woman took a quick glance before averting her eyes away. It was rude to keep looking.

Still, the glance did not go unnoticed.

Li Yuan gave a cold glance to the person across the road. Furrowing his brows, he recognized who it was. It was her.
