The King’s Enchanting Chapter 3 - 3 3 The Megastar 1

As dusk settled, the deep night sky ignited the anticipation of the masses.

Outside the Yancheng Hotel, a myriad of luxury vehicles had amassed, and the area teemed with a bustling crowd.

The banquet hall on the third floor had undergone a fresh redecoration, setting the stage for the press conference marking the commencement of the TV drama “Rock Youth.” A towering LED screen, positioned to face the square, replayed a highlight from the previous night’s Chinese Golden Melody Awards: the moment Yu Zexiao, the superstar who had captivated Asia, accepted the award for Most Popular Male Singer.

In the captured footage, Yu Zexiao stood with imposing grace, radiating an innate nobility and elegance. His eyes, as dark and deep as the night sky, sparkled with a light that seemed to ensnare souls with a single glance, possessing the power to enthrall legions of young fans.

His slender arm proudly hoisted the golden trophy, which gleamed brilliantly under the intense spotlight.

Despite receiving such a significant honor, his expression didn’t betray overt excitement; rather, it suggested an air of quiet expectation, as if such accolades were merely a natural consequence of his talents.

To all who observed him, Yu Zexiao presented a strikingly handsome figure, tall in stature, with a voice akin to a celestial melody, and the refinement of one educated abroad.

Crucially, he was not one of those overnight sensations who clawed their way up from obscurity; he was, by all accounts, a true nobleman.

His lineage was impeccable: his grandfather had served as a provincial official, his father, Yu Jingxi, was the esteemed president of a prominent conglomerate, and his mother, Shen Lanxiao, hailed from the illustrious Scholar Family.

Such a distinguished background afforded him an almost inherent advantage, positioning him as the veritable Prince Charming from the dreams of countless young women!

Yet, he consistently maintained a low profile, shrouded in an aura of mystery.

Beyond the release of his music albums, he seldom graced entertainment shows with his presence and rarely lent his talents to television dramas or films.

This very scarcity only served to magnify the public's fascination with him!

However, a figure as extraordinary as he rarely found himself entangled in scandals, nor was there any record of a close female companion.

A notable incident occurred five years prior, shortly after his return to the country to launch his career. He was reportedly targeted by Miss Asia, an individual voted by the public as the “sexiest goddess,” who, in a brazen attempt at seduction, disrobed herself in his hotel room to entice him.

To the shock of many, Yu Zexiao showed no leniency, arranging for her to be ejected from the hotel in a state of complete undress!

Following this sensational event, the entertainment industry was rife with speculation.

Some analysts posited that he might suffer from an undisclosed ailment.

Were it not for the fact that he also maintained a distance from close male friendships, speculation might have leaned towards him being gay!

Jian Anning stood within the monitoring room on the third floor, gazing out through the expansive floor-to-ceiling windows.

Against the backdrop of the night, an innumerable host of fans, brandishing illuminated “Zexiao” glow sticks, chanted his name with fervent enthusiasm.

Merely a month prior, she had joined Starlight Entertainment with aspirations of a career, only to find herself unexpectedly appointed as the personal assistant to the Asia-conquering superstar, Yu Zexiao, immediately upon her arrival.

Yu Zexiao’s agent was none other than Yin Maohui, the formidable CEO of Starlight Entertainment. He employed two assistants: one to manage professional affairs and another for personal matters.

Jian Anning filled the role of the personal assistant, tasked with duties such as serving tea and managing his daily living arrangements – essentially functioning as a full-time nanny.

Her induction coincided with Yu Zexiao’s new album topping the charts, a period of intense activity.

Given her novice status and Yu Zexiao’s preference for maintaining distance from his personal life, she, despite possessing a background that enabled her to skillfully manage numerous lifestyle intricacies, had infrequent interactions with him. Nevertheless, their professional relationship remained relatively amicable.

Who could have possibly foreseen the events of last night…

Jian Anning massaged her temples, a gesture of weary contemplation.

Following their separation that morning, her duty as Yu Zexiao’s personal assistant should have compelled her to attend to him.

However, the prospect of feigning normalcy and maintaining a “peaceful coexistence” with a man with whom she had just shared an intimate encounter proved to be an insurmountable challenge. Consequently, she had retreated to the relative anonymity of backstage work.

The banquet was scheduled to commence in approximately five minutes.

At that very moment, a sudden wave of commotion swept through the area outside!
