However, even though he was the focus of everyone’s attention, Yu Zexiao’s handsome and extraordinary face remained expressionless. It was only when a figure entered his field of vision that his striking eyebrows showed a trace of interest as he lifted them slightly.
"Zexiao, Zexiao?" At that moment, an assistant handed him a bottle of champagne. The bottle hadn’t been opened yet, but while others had their drinks poured by assistants, he was the only one without Jian Anning by his side.
Yu Zexiao glanced at the bottle of champagne the waiter offered without any emotion and did not take it. Suddenly, he strides away without a word!
This move not only struck Yin Maohui and the people from Huasi Film and Television as odd but even the waiting reporters and everyone present were surprised, turning their gazes toward him.
Jian Anning took a detour through a small door into the venue, dressed as a staff member, so no one found her presence strange. She had thought she could easily blend into the event and later settle the score with that bastard Yu Zexiao!
Unexpectedly, there was suddenly a strange inhale of breath from the people next to her.
She frowned in confusion, feeling that the atmosphere around her was off. How to describe it? It was as if a tall mountain range had blocked the sun, giving an oppressive feeling for no reason!
Turning her head, sure enough, she saw Yu Zexiao looking at her with a stern face and furrowed brows!
The man’s finely arched eyebrows lifted slightly, and without another word, he suddenly stretched out a long finger, grasped her delicate wrist, and dragged her towards the center of the room!
"Yu, Yu Zexiao!" Jian Anning was caught off guard by his pull, and before she could react, she was dragged to the middle of the room. The problem was, he was gripping her wrist so hard, as if he wanted to crush her bones, showing no mercy!
No one had ever seen Yu Zexiao with such a cold demeanor and serious expression before! Seeing him, people seemed to involuntarily clear a path for him, allowing him to pass through effortlessly. Yu Zexiao proceeded to pull Jian Anning inside, right up to the crystal champagne tower, and without saying a word, he tossed her aside, slightly lifted his chin, folded his arms, and looked at her, waiting for her to bring him a drink.
Seeing her arrival, those who recognized her, like Yin Maohui and Hong Minjun, wore strange expressions. And Jiang Xuanqi and Lu Jiayuan were among those showing astonishment mixed with disbelief.
As for the other people from Huasi Film and Television, their faces were filled with curiosity—who was this person who abruptly intruded? And yet she appeared so close to Zero!
The rest of the people from Starlight Entertainment, who had seen Jian Anning, were few, and all began to whisper among themselves at her arrival. Not to mention those high society young ladies who had never even heard of her. Especially since there were many wealthy young ladies with their eyes set on Yu Zexiao. Therefore, the sudden appearance of a casually dressed woman, not exceptionally beautiful, yet given such attention by Yu Zexiao, naturally attracted a fair amount of jealousy!
For a moment, everyone in the venue focused their attention on Jian Anning, even the media excitedly snapped a few more photos!
—This was the first time the Little Heavenly King had shown such keen interest in a woman in front of a crowd! Regardless of who she was or what her status was, as long as she had such an intimate relationship with him, there was no worry about lacking publicity!
Who exactly was this woman? Why had Yu Zexiao left the executives aside and taken her hand!
