"My mouth isn’t coated with honey, what’s not to like?" Jian Anning couldn’t help but chuckle at that.
"How could it not be? Your mouth tastes as sweet as honey," Yu Zexiao said, his gaze falling on her glossy red lips, "When we get back, we—"
"Yu Zexiao! What nonsense are you spouting!" She suddenly objected, jumping up, only to be pulled by Yu Zexiao towards their room on the hillside outside, "Alright, alright, we can chat slowly once we get back—this isn’t a good place for flirting!"
"Who’s flirting with you?"
Jian Anning was dragged away by Yu Zexiao, her voice growing more distant.
Lu Jiayuan remained in place, listening as the two of them laughed and joked while heading out, and inside him, it felt as if he were being eaten alive by ants.
He finally understood what it meant to say, "I had a sincere love in front of me that I didn’t treasure. Only when I lost it did I regret it deeply."
Whether it was Yu Zexiao or Situ Xuan, at this moment, they still had the chance to pursue her openly. And what about him? He had already lost even the right to pursue her!
Depressed, he walked back to the set, where he noticed the director, Li, apparently on a call.
Seeing him, Director Li nodded in greeting and then continued talking on the phone, "So you mean, Mr. Situ doesn’t have time to come these days, right?"
Lu Jiayuan, lacking any spirit, got ready to head back to his own resting area. He had just taken a step when suddenly a woman’s voice carried over from Director Li’s phone!
Since Director Li worked on set often, though his phone wasn’t on speaker, the microphone volume was generally loud. At least, Lu Jiayuan, who was passing by, heard Ya Jiayi’s voice quite clearly: "Yes, due to some personal matters, I can’t come to the set. I’ll leave the filming to you."
"Of course." Director Li spoke and had just hung up when he suddenly noticed the odd look on Lu Jiayuan’s face!
"JASON, what’s wrong with you?"
Lu Jiayuan’s eyes widened! He hadn’t misheard, that voice was indeed from the spokesperson for the company’s largest shareholder! Before, he had been remotely controlled by her for his tasks on set!
Ya Jiayi had visited the set once before being sent by Situ Xuan to deal with Huanyu Group affairs. And when she first came to the set, Lu Jiayuan was quite far from her, so he hadn’t clearly heard her voice!
He turned to look at Director Li, his expression barely hiding his amazement: "Could you tell me who that woman on the phone just now was?"
Director Li looked confused: "Mr. Situ’s secretary. Haven’t you met her before?"
"Mr. Situ’s secretary... How, how could it be?!"
That MISS-YU, she was actually Mr. Situ’s secretary! Wasn’t she the spokesperson for the mysterious big boss?
Lu Jiayuan was completely stunned! He felt like he was standing at a crossroads, in front of him a tightly shut Pandora’s Box! When he tried hard to get closer, he would never know what would happen the next second!
Meanwhile, in the villa above.
As soon as the door closed, Yu Zexiao’s face immediately turned cold: "Well played, Jian Anning, taking advantage of my unawareness to cozy up to your old flame! You..."
