Seeing this scene, all her anxiety was transformed into rage! Because of his irresponsibility, she was scolded half to death by the director and was frightened out of her wits for fear of not finding him. But, as it turned out, this bastard had actually ditched the whole crew and was here, drinking and enjoying himself!
Upon her arrival, the others in the private room even laughed, "Yo, speaking of the devil, and the devil appears. We were just talking about the little assistant, and here you come."
And Yu Zexiao, who initially appeared arrogant and spoiled upon seeing her, became furious the moment he saw Situ Xuan behind her!
Because he, too, saw Situ Xuan standing tall behind Jian Anning!
Jian Anning took a deep breath, having to exert a lot of effort to restrain herself so as not to rush up and slap him right away!
She knew that Yu Zexiao was arrogant and cared about making a good impression, and arguing with him in front of his friends and Situ Xuan, a stranger, would only make him angrier and more reluctant to return with her!
At this moment, her only goal was to bring him back to the filming set, and there would be time to settle the score after successfully completing the shoot!
With this in mind, she forced herself to suppress her emotions and turned to glance at Situ Xuan, "Mr. Situ, thank you for bringing me here."
"You’re welcome. I was coming back anyway," Situ Xuan said indifferently, and although he was behaving very graciously, he was indeed surprised inside.
He was well aware of how anxious Jian Anning was just a moment ago and how angry she became upon seeing Yu Zexiao, but in the blink of an eye, she managed to control her emotions and became rational and generous.
He suddenly felt a bit of anticipation, looking forward to the day when he could truly snatch her away from Yu Zexiao. She was so rational yet so gentle, so aware of the bigger picture yet so detached, never throwing herself at him or trembling with nervousness like other women. She maintained an easy grace, neither too distant nor too obsequious—acting as if she was truly his equal.
Really interesting. It’s been many years since he’d encountered such a woman!
And as for that immature man inside... sorry, Situ Xuan didn’t even consider him worth a glance!
He had decided, he must have Jian Anning, not to defeat that immature guy inside, but for her! Just for her!
With that thought, he was determined to leave a good impression on Jian Anning—especially when compared to that childish ghost inside!
Nobody inside had ever met Situ Xuan, except for Leng Yunlin, who had already returned to Yancheng.
Thus, when the people in the room saw Yu Zexiao’s complexion shift from ruddy to pale, glaring daggers at Situ Xuan, they suddenly felt a sense of dread!
"Mr. Situ, there’s a dinner engagement later..." For some reason, upon seeing Situ Xuan’s expression at that moment, Ya Jiayi suddenly felt afraid.
She feared that the situation might spiral out of control!
Situ Xuan did not speak, but turned his head and gave her a cold glance. That look, sharp as a knife!
Ya Jiayi, with her head bowed, couldn’t see, but she seemed to feel the icy chill emanating from Situ Xuan!
