385: Chapter 385 Participating in the Exhibition

Wu Ya showed an expression that was almost crying but not quite.

"If I could, I would too, but... my heart is not my own."

"Alright, we have an early start tomorrow, you should get some sleep."

After speaking, she opened the door and returned to her room.

Shen Yan stood stunned at his doorway for a good while before opening his door and walking into his own room.

To be honest, he didn't know how to face the feelings Wu Ya had for him.

He had rejected Wu Ya, and even suggested she find someone else, but Wu Ya was completely unmoved, clearly determined to spend her time focused on him.

Unable to figure things out, Shen Yan decided to stop thinking about it.

He slept soundly through the night.

Noon the next day.

Shen Yan was woken up by the alarm he had set.

He yawned, glanced at his phone, and realized it was already half past twelve.

Just as he was about to get up and wash up, he heard a knock on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Brother Shen, are you awake?"

Shen Yan didn't think much of it and immediately got out of bed to open the door.

"What time did you wake up?"

Hearing Shen Yan's question, Wu Ya walked into the room with him while replying, "I have trouble sleeping in unfamiliar beds, so I didn't sleep well and woke up very early."

As soon as she finished speaking.

Shen Yan chuckled a few times.

"The only good thing about me is that I don't really mind where I sleep; I can sleep soundly anywhere. It's fine, after today, we can go back."

"This hotel is very close to the exhibition center. It's only about half an hour to get there. We still have time to grab lunch. What do you feel like eating?"

Wu Ya smiled slightly.

"Yesterday I took you out to eat; today it's your turn to treat me."

Shen Yan walked into the bathroom to wash up.

"If you insist, then I can only take you to eat the hotel's food."

Wu Ya didn't seem to care.

"It doesn't matter. As long as you're taking me, I like it."

Shen Yan immediately fell silent.

Wu Ya also realized what she had said sounded a bit too flirtatious.

She cleared her throat and then added, "Of course, if you take me to eat something terrible, I'll definitely be the first to disagree."

Only then did Shen Yan laugh.

After the two of them finished a simple lunch, Wu Ya returned to the hotel to get ready.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Wu Ya finally emerged from the hotel room.

Seeing Wu Ya dressed in a gown with her makeup perfectly done, Shen Yan's eyes lit up.

"You look really beautiful in that outfit."

Hearing this, Wu Ya's face flushed, and she asked, "Really? You're not just flattering me, are you?"

Shen Yan chuckled.

"Why would I flatter you? What I said is true. Alright, let's stop dawdling here and head to the exhibition."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two drove toward the exhibition center.

This Artificial Intelligence exhibition was truly set up grandly.

As soon as they arrived nearby, they saw a circle of security guards in suits surrounding the area.

Just as Shen Yan was figuring out where to park the car, someone suddenly knocked on his window. He rolled down the window and asked the person, "What's wrong?"

The other person politely asked him, "Excuse me, are you guests attending the exhibition?"

Shen Yan nodded.

The person extended a hand toward him.

"I am security for the exhibition. May I please see your invitation?"

Shen Yan pulled out an invitation from the back and handed it to the security guard.

After confirming it was valid, the guard said to him, "Very well. Please drive forward, then turn left, and let our staff help you park the car in the lot."

Shen Yan understood.

Someone would specifically park his car for him; the two of them only needed to walk into the exhibition.

Thinking this, he nodded to the security guard and said, "Got it, thanks, young man."

The security guard was flattered and bowed slightly, "Not at all, not at all, this is what I should do."

Then Shen Yan rolled up the window, followed the security guard's directions to the corner ahead, and let the exhibition staff park his car.

"Bang!"

After getting out of the car, Wu Ya nervously linked her arm through his.

"Will there be any cameras or things like that inside?"

Hearing Wu Ya's question, Shen Yan laughed and replied, "We aren't walking a red carpet, why would there be cameras?"

"Don't be nervous. It's just a regular exhibition. We just need to walk around inside."

Wu Ya simply couldn't stop being nervous.

"What normal exhibition requires people to wear evening gowns?"

Shen Yan considered it for a moment and thought Wu Ya had a point.

"Forget it then, just treat it like a regular banquet."

Wu Ya didn't say anything; she was still very nervous.

The two walked step by step into the exhibition hall.

As soon as they entered the exhibition, Shen Yan saw many Artificial Intelligence products.

He had initially thought not many people inside would recognize him, but unexpectedly, as soon as he and Wu Ya entered, someone approached them to strike up a conversation.

"Hello, you must be President Shen from Fuchen Enterprise, right?"

Shen Yan paused slightly and looked up at the person speaking to him.

The person in front of him was a man who looked to be in his early twenties. His Mandarin was very standard, and he didn't seem like a local.

"May I ask who you are?"

The other party chuckled and took out a business card from his pocket, handing it to him.

"I am Chen Binqi from Sea City. You can call me Xiao Chen."

Shen Yan smiled, "President Chen."

The other party chuckled again.

"This must be your first time at our exhibition, right?"

Shen Yan nodded.

The other party lifted his chin and said to him, "I'm a regular here. Shall I give you a tour around?"

Just as Shen Yan was about to nod, two more people approached from the side.

"President Chen, aren't you moving a bit too fast?"

Upon seeing them, Chen Binqi's expression changed, but his expression quickly returned to normal.

"What you're saying is, President Shen isn't mine alone. He's standing right here, so there's no question of moving too fast or not."

Saying that, he proactively introduced the two people to Shen Yan.

"This is Brother Yang, and this is Brother Tian."

Shen Yan shook hands with them one by one.

Because he was busy socializing with the people at the exhibition, Wu Ya didn't hover around him but instead went to the side to look at the Artificial Intelligence products on display.

She hadn't been looking for long before two women holding wine glasses walked toward her.

"Oh, little sister, you look quite unfamiliar. Who brought you here?"

Hearing the question, Wu Ya first paused slightly, then nodded to the two women and replied, "I'm from Fuchen Enterprise."

The two women gasped an "Oh."

"You're the female companion of that President Shen who's been getting a lot of attention lately?"

Wu Ya felt that the statement sounded strange, but she couldn't quite pinpoint what was odd about it.

So she nodded to the two women in front of her.

"That's right."

As soon as she finished speaking, the two women exchanged glances, a hint of barely concealed disdain appearing on their faces.

"If you ask me, the bird that sticks its head out gets shot. You should hurry up and try to latch onto someone more powerful."
