Jian Anning had come across his friends several times and had one positive aspect: she knew how to separate personal feelings from professional demeanour. Though she was very disappointed in Yu Zexiao, it did not mean she would get angry with his friends.
"It’s not a matter of incompatible personalities between him and me. This kind of thing can’t be explained in just a few words."
All three of them knew what she meant, but they couldn’t interfere in their good friend’s romantic affairs, so they could only advise, "In any case, we hope that you can be more understanding."
"I’m sorry, I naturally will do my job well, but as for the rest...I can’t be accommodating."
She couldn’t accept a man who only wanted to sleep with her, yet had no feelings for her whatsoever. Some might think that being so handsome, Yu Zexiao would be a catch for just one night, but her situation was different.
At that moment, Jian Anning was already starting to have feelings for Yu Zexiao. Once she truly accepted Yu Zexiao, despite knowing full well he felt nothing for her, she would only fall deeper. What would her plight be once she was hopelessly in love with him and he turned around and left?
Rather than suffering later, it was better to be decisive and cut off all possibilities with him while she hadn’t fallen too deeply in love!
Upon seeing her determined expression at the doorstep, his buddies only had one thought—Yu Xingxing, you’re on your own!
---------------------------
Jian Anning indeed acted on her words; despite striving to sever any budding emotions for Yu Zexiao in her heart, she maintained her meticulousness at work.
Yu Zexiao also did as he promised, donning a proud and arrogant expression every time he saw her enter, stubbornly refusing to back down.
Halfway through the shoot, Shen Lanxiao came to visit the set. Her main concern was for her son, who had to film deep into the night, so she brought some snacks for him. Her other purpose was to understand what was really going on between her son and Jian Anning.
Honestly, Shen Lanxiao had led an easy life over the years, with her husband Yu Jingxi wholeheartedly devoted to her and her in-laws treating her like their own daughter. In such an environment, she had virtually lost most of her fighting spirit and was not at all vigilant.
Initially, she thought Jian Anning was Yu Zexiao’s girlfriend and after being rejected, she really believed there were no issues between them. But after their heated argument and door slamming today, she felt discontent alone at home, pondering over it!
Her son’s behavior clearly indicated—he was angry that she didn’t speak up for him, wasn’t he?
For a man to visit the urologist and yet be angry at the woman by his side, why? It must be because she knew about his physical condition! Her son and Jian Anning must be having an affair!
Recalling how they had left the room that morning, Jian Anning had changed into new clothes (her shirt was torn by Yu Zexiao)! Why would they hide in a room, talking, and then come out in different clothes?
It must have been due to an intense encounter that resulted in clothes being torn and bedsheets being pulled, right?
Indeed, Shen Lanxiao later found the torn shirt in Jian Anning’s room. Suddenly feeling like a Conan with the sense that "There is only one truth!", she exclaimed,
So it seems these two young people had already gotten involved behind the scenes!
