Anyway, the two of them had made things clear, and if they continued to dwell on past rights and wrongs, it seemed somewhat inappropriate.
Besides— the more she wanted to distance herself from him, the more polite her tone became! For example, with Yu Zexiao, she could play around, but with Lu Jiayuan, she would always speak in a distant manner.
Clearly, Lu Jiayuan had discerned it too. In his heart, there was bitterness, but also a bit of comfort.
The bitterness was that he detected a hint of politeness in Jian Anning’s tone. It was as if the two of them were nothing more than the most ordinary of friends.
And the comfort was that at last, she was no longer cold and hostile towards him. At least... they could be counted as the most familiar strangers now!
A change is always good. In the future, even if they couldn’t be lovers, they could still be friends!
However, Yu Zexiao understood the meaning in Jian Anning’s words. Yet, he was still displeased with Jian Anning greeting him!
Especially since he originally thought Jian Anning was pregnant, which seemed almost certain, but unexpectedly she wasn’t pregnant; and now Lu Jiayuan and Situ Xuan were hovering around her.
At this moment, his masculine hormones were naturally rising!
"Hey, what’s there to thank for! This had nothing to do with him in the first place; he specially took my car to come over! You thank him, why don’t you thank me!"
Lu Jiayuan understood well enough; he always knew that Yu Zexiao had such a personality. Especially when it involved Jian Anning; he would instantly turn into a cock, ready to wipe out all the male animals around him!
However, Vincent at his side had long run out of patience: "Hey, our Jason kindly came to see Assistant Jian, and she said thank you. Isn’t that right?"
"It’s not like I told him to come." Yu Zexiao didn’t care about all that; Jian Anning was his girlfriend, and previously Lu Jiayuan had been eyeing her intently. He resolutely wouldn’t let other men loiter around her!
"Hey, Zero, speak reasonably, will you! Do you think this world only consists of you and Assistant Jian living together, and all others are in a vacuum? She has friends; what’s wrong with visiting her when she’s injured or sick! Jason is her friend; coming to see her today is out of affection. Even if he doesn’t see her, he could. But you don’t have the right to stop others from meeting!"
Vincent had endured for a long time.
He had been by Lu Jiayuan’s side ever since he was a very small artist, watching him climb slowly from the bottom step by step to his current position.
He admired Lu Jiayuan greatly, not only because Lu Jiayuan was indeed diligent, earnest, and inspiring. He had witnessed Lu Jiayuan, with no background or backing, because of his mother’s massive debts, having no choice but to join film crews to act. Starting from the lowest extras, performing all kinds of roles, enduring punishment and cold stares. Luck later smiled upon him when Huasi Film and Television was newly established, and as one of the few Asians there, he finally landed a role in "Eternal Heart," diligently honing his craft, ultimately rocketing to fame.
