"Which entertainment company do you belong to? What films have you shot? What songs have you sung? What movies have you acted in? Tsk, tsk, a little star daring to stop us? Do you even know who we are?"
Her companion joined in the mockery, "Could it be that he’s the son of some tycoon? Look at how poised and imposing he is, the perfect type that men adore! I bet being beneath him feels quite satisfying!"
"Shut up!" Situ Xuan hadn’t spoken, but it was Jian Anning who lashed out. She could tolerate them insulting her, but she would never allow anyone to insult Situ Xuan! Because it was her who had dragged Situ Xuan into this. Morally and rationally, she would not let him suffer this slander!
Finally, Jian Anning spoke up, and those two were even more pleased with themselves, their words becoming even more indecent. "Oh my, what’s the matter, I insulted your little lover, and you’re unhappy? Of course, if Yu Zexiao found out about this, no one knows how he would deal with you!"
"Exactly! You’re the third party who stole someone else’s boyfriend, and your own little lover is someone kept by a man too! This is indeed the case of a pot calling the kettle black, how perfect!"
Such vulgar talk was unbearable for Jian Anning! She stepped forward, ready to argue with the two women, when a long arm suddenly extended in front of her.
Jian Anning glanced at him, and Situ Xuan’s face was calm. His grey-blue eyes shimmered with a tranquil light, like the profound sea.
Though he did not speak, his expression seemed to tell her: Don’t worry, I’ll handle this.
This silent sense of security was even more comforting than the fierce words Yu Zexiao would throw around energetically.

Their exchange of glances didn’t escape the two onlookers, who launched into another round of taunting: "Oh, look at that understanding between them, what would Yu Zexiao think if he saw this?"
"What else to think? A scumbag husband and an adulterous wife, that’s what!"
In the midst of their sharp sarcasm, Situ Xuan’s expression remained unchanged, without even a hint of displeasure. His eyes calmly swept over these two people, not replying with a single word, and finally, his gaze settled on Jiang Xuanqi.
Jiang Xuanqi, pierced by his serious gaze, felt breathless even from that one look, as if a tremendous pressure was weighing her down!
He opened his mouth, his voice like the rustling of leaves in the autumn wind, laden with a dangerous tone, "Who are these two?"
Jiang Xuanqi felt a cold sweat breaking out! Although she didn’t dare to get too crafty in front of Yu Zexiao, she could still get away with a word or two occasionally.
But in front of Situ Xuan, even though she didn’t know his true identity, the aura he exuded, and everything he displayed, all seemed terrifying!
Yet to those two women, Situ Xuan’s words were a blatant disregard.
Who were they? They were celebrities! What do celebrities hate the most? Netizen attacks? Criticism from film reviewers? Or being shelved by their agencies?
No, what they hated most was being unrecognized by others — that only meant they were not famous enough!
Instantly, the two grew furious, and Jiang Xuanqi, fearful of provoking Situ Xuan further, hurriedly nodded and spoke before them:
