Yu Zexiao had thought that Jian Anning was upset because of the way Jiang Xuanqi had insulted her.
Indeed, she was just a small assistant, while Jiang Xuanqi was a well-known young actress.
The difference in their status was like night and day.
Even though Jiang Xuanqi wasn’t her direct supervisor, given her current status at Starlight Entertainment, getting rid of a small assistant would be a matter of moments.
——Furthermore, just now in the private room, as her artist, he hadn’t spoken a word in her defense, had he?
Thinking of this, although Yu Zexiao still felt a little displeased with her for pushing him towards Jiang Xuanqi, when he saw her slowly lift her head and the usual stubborn calmness in her eyes gradually veiled by a mist.
That look of being clearly terrified yet pretending to be strong softened his heart inexplicably, and he began to feel distressed.
Jian Anning felt the same way.
Although she had been indifferent to Yu Zexiao’s disdain and his approach towards Jiang Xuanqi, she had always felt somewhat awkward about it.
It was like watching a performing clown—knowing that no matter how much it jumps around, it wouldn’t matter much, but it’s still annoying to have it constantly in one’s sight, and it didn’t make her feel pleasant.
And Yu Zexiao, even though she had no particular feelings for him before, at this moment, the only person who could save her was Yu Zexiao!
The footsteps grew nearer and nearer, so close that all they had to do was step around Yu Zexiao’s back to see her at their side!
What to do, what to do?
At this moment, the fear and anxiety of being caught, along with her loathing for her stepfather’s family, completely overshadowed everything!
She absolutely didn’t want to just go back, marry Situ Xuan, and live a muddled life!
Suddenly, Jian Anning reached out, her hands tightly gripping Yu Zexiao’s arm, with great force.
Her upper body leaned weakly against him, and from behind Yu Zexiao, it looked as though they were tightly embracing!
Moreover, her head gently rested on Yu Zexiao’s sturdy, flat chest, appearing shyly turned towards the wall.
The T-shirt Yu Zexiao was wearing was very thin, and the light weight of the small head resting on it made it seem as though her stray hairs were touching the skin over his heart through the thin fabric, like a soft hand lightly scratching him.
From any angle, these two appeared to be an ordinary couple!
Sure enough, the footsteps that had intended to approach stopped upon seeing the two of them together.
All Jian Anning’s attention was focused on the halted footsteps.
Her ears perked up like a little rabbit, her every pore opened as she desperately tried to detect even the slightest movement in the air!
One second, ten seconds, thirty seconds, a minute.
She remained leaning weakly against Yu Zexiao, motionless, the cold sweat on her forehead seeping out.
She had no idea that Yu Zexi merely allowed her to lean on him and likewise did not push her away.
Suddenly, the footsteps started again, as if they were about to pass Yu Zexiao and approach them!
Jian Anning immediately sensed it, gripping his arm tightly in her nervousness, frantic and unsure what to do!
Why does no one like to leave comments?
I can’t feel your presence at all…
