75: Chapter 76 Collision (4)
Even this time, with his scandal with Jiang Xuanqi, the company only required that he maintain a semblance of an ambiguous relationship with her in public.
He didn’t need to admit anything or go out of his way.
He just had to remain silent when people brought it up. 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Sometimes, silence equates to consent.
Whether the rumors were true or false didn’t matter, as long as the public became interested in the TV series, in Yu Zexiao, and in Jiang Xuanqi, their objective was achieved.
After taking Yin Maohui’s call, Yu Zexiao became somewhat silent.
However, the next day during filming with Jiang Xuanqi, Yu Zexiao’s attitude was no longer as cold as before.
Of course, he wasn’t overly affectionate either, just no longer repulsive, occasionally even chatting with her after shoots.
But the only person he remained indifferent toward was Jian Anning.
In the past few days, he spoke less than ten sentences to Jian Anning.
His mood had returned to its unpredictably temperamental state.
Especially his gaze, which no longer held the occasional flash of confusion of days past, was like sharp ice, cold and devoid of warmth.
Jian Anning, on the other hand, didn’t mind.
In fact, whether Yu Zexiao was nice or nasty to her made no difference.
After all, it was all for work!
Besides, although Yu Zexiao had been a bit petulant lately, he was quite cooperative when it came to work.
He was no longer throwing tantrums for not wanting to act with Jiang Xuanqi and didn’t demand her to do this and that for him.
Compared to his previous approach of being sometimes near and sometimes overbearing, she found him now easier to get along with.
After all, she had never planned to get involved with a man from the entertainment circle.
Zhao Ziyin was indeed hopping mad: “Damn it, did Yu Zexiao really get together with Jiang Xuanqi?
What about you?”
She replied with relaxed ease, “There was never much between him and me anyway, Zexiao is just in a bad mood today.
Lots of work stress recently.”
Zhao Ziyin shrugged: “Quit kidding!
Who do you think I am?
I was in this business when you were still in Meizhou watching Hollywood blockbusters!
This kind of act might fool the ignorant masses, but not me.
You’ll need another ten years of practice to fool me!”
After she finished speaking, she patted Jian Anning’s shoulder and mysteriously whispered: “That day, I clearly saw you two getting quite intimate.
And I also heard…
that the person who filmed the kissing scene with him that day was you!”
Jian Anning was startled and looked around before lowering her voice: “You better not spread this nonsense around!”
Zhao Ziyin, with a “we’re tight” gesture, hooked her neck, pulled her head down, leaned in, and whispered: “So it really was you, huh?
So the thing between Yu Zexiao and that woman, it’s just a move by your company?”
Jian Anning, feeling guilty, said: “You know enough, the company switched me for Jiang Xuanqi.
Publicly, they’re dead set on claiming they’re involved, so don’t go spreading rumors!”
Zhao Ziyin immediately slapped her own ample chest: “Don’t worry, who am I, Zhao Ziyin?
The things I should say, I’ll say them till I’m blue in the face, but the things I shouldn’t, you could put a knife to my throat and I’d still keep quiet!”
Then, she winked lewdly and her face lit up with an absolutely gossipy expression: “—Speaking of which, how’s Yu Zexiao’s kissing?
How does it feel to kiss a big handsome guy?
Did you wish you could melt right into him?”
There are a few things to say, first off, some readers don’t like the little side stories, so for now, I won’t write them, maybe I’ll add more in the future.
Thanks to the generous “☆*:.Once a Smile”,”I’m Silly, I’m Foolish, I’m Laughing HaHa” for their rewards.
Also, some fans have asked about Situ Xuan, because Xiao’s work is a sister piece with the background following “Chief’s One Day Infatuation: Forcing a Billionaire’s Wife,” which is already complete, and interested fans can go take a look.
Lastly — the important thing is, please bookmark and leave comments!
Thank you~
