Track Yan frowned and turned off the speakerphone.

“Clarify,” he demanded.

Wen Li genuinely did not imply it. She was simply speaking powerful, however she did not anticipate that Track Yan would deal with this.

She was used to following a script and a process, the place after saying her traces, the opposite individual would often simply depart with out listening to any rationalization.

So now she was confused. Track Yan requested her to clarify, however she did not know find out how to clarify it.

Track Yan’s focus was utterly off. It was not solely awkward for Wen Li but additionally for Xu Xingyue.

This was the primary time Xu Xingyue had seen Track Yan at a non-public dinner. She had attended a number of dinners with Director Guo earlier than, however he both left early or did not come on account of different issues.

Lastly, she encountered him immediately, with out cameras or spotlights. This meal felt like an peculiar gathering of buddies. Track Yan was dressed casually, together with his common calm and delicate smile on his face when speaking to others.

Simply now, Director Guo launched her to him, and he accepted her toast out of respect for Guo Dao. He even smiled at her.

Though it was a distant and well mannered smile, he now not utterly ignored her.

“Did not you hear what my spouse stated simply now?” Track Yan’s gaze turned chilly, his tone flat, “Neither Director Guo nor I are fools. Do not carry hassle upon your self.”

His phrases weren’t explicitly direct, however they minimize straight to the bone, inflicting a chilling sensation to rise from Xu Xingyue’s ft to her head. Contrarily, her face instantly heated up, as if she had been slapped a number of instances, her dignity trampled upon.

With out Director Guo by her aspect, this was Track Yan’s true angle in direction of her.

After talking, Track Yan walked away and continued his telephone name.

When Track Yan talked about Director Guo simply now, Xu Xingyue lastly realized how reckless her conduct in following him was. She stood there hesitating for a second, closed her eyes, gritted her enamel, took a deep breath, mentally ready herself, after which nervously returned to the personal room.

Director Guo was ingesting with others, and when he noticed her coming again, he waved at her.

“Xingyue is again? Come and assist me have a number of drinks.”

As quickly as Xu Xingyue sat down, she was compelled to drink a number of glasses. The alcohol was sturdy and spicy, stinging her throat. It was so spicy that tears welled up in her eyes. She pushed the cup away, turned her head, and coughed loudly. Solely then did Director Guo let her off.

The one that toasted teased, “Oh, blushing? Previous Guo, your goddaughter cannot maintain her liquor. She wants to coach tougher.”

“Observe extra, the subsequent time you’ll be able to have a number of extra glasses. I am going to let her accompany you for a number of rounds.”

A number of folks burst into laughter upon listening to this.

Xu Xingyue sat silently, pouring herself a cup of tea.

“Why did you come again?” Director Guo instantly leaned over and whispered in her ear, “Did not you chat with Track Yan outdoors?”

She widened her eyes in panic and instantly denied, “No, I simply went to the restroom.”

“Is that so?” Director Guo did not deny it. He tidied her bangs for her and spoke kindly, “Xingyue, I do know you haven’t any emotions for an outdated man like me, however be content material. I’ve given you a lot. If it had been Track Yan, would he provide the similar? Even in case you have the power to be with him, to be in his favor, will he provide you with greater than he offers his spouse?”

Xu Xingyue listened to Director Guo’s phrases in a daze, feeling chilly throughout.

Seeing her expression, Director Guo knew that his phrases had an influence on her, so he added one other dose of sturdy medication, “Have you ever seen the director reverse us and the Screenwriter Zhou? With out me, even if you happen to attempt to climb up with all of your may, you won’t have the ability to meet up with them on this lifetime.”

Abruptly, Xu Xingyue inexplicably requested, “However what if his spouse betrays him?”

Track Yan was such a proud man, Xu Xingyue could not assist however shudder when she considered the chilly look he had given her simply now.

Even when he had relationship together with his spouse, it would not face up to the take a look at of betrayal.

When that occurs, he’ll divorce, and he’ll naturally take away all of the sources she gained by him.

Director Guo had no persistence to entertain her with hypothetical conditions that had nothing to do together with her. He frowned and stated, “That is their household matter, not one thing you need to be involved about.”

——

The folks within the personal room continued to drink, whereas Track Yan, who was speaking on the telephone outdoors the room, had misplaced curiosity in ingesting.

Wen Li had been attempting to brush him off, however she could not provide you with an affordable rationalization for what she had simply stated.

“It is nothing,” Wen Li replied vaguely, “It was one thing I stated for others to listen to, not for you.”

“However I heard it,” Track Yan responded.

“Who requested you to hear? Could not you’ve gotten coated your ears simply now?” Wen Li retorted.

Track Yan remained silent for some time.

Wen Li did not dare to hold up the telephone and cautiously requested, “Are you continue to listening?”

In a relaxed and unvarying tone, Track Yan stated, “Listening to what? Did not you ask me to cowl my ears?”

“…I did not ask you to cowl them now.”

“Apologies,” Track Yan stated, “I did not know if Instructor Wen would say one thing like earlier than within the subsequent second.”

Wen Li defined, “I would not say that type of factor to you. I used to be simply attempting to impress Xu Xingyue.”

Track Yan countered, “Are you frightening her or frightening me?”

“I am frightening her, I swear,” Wen Li helplessly replied, “Hey, can we be on the identical web page right here? It is apparent that Xu Xingyue has emotions for you, however as a substitute of addressing her, you come at me?”

A person with feelings isn’t simply placated. Track Yan, who was unaffected now, spoke indifferently, “I do not care if somebody has emotions for me or not. I solely care about what you consider me.”

“…” After a quick silence, Wen Li whispered, “Do not you already know what I consider you?”

“I used to know,” Track Yan responded, “However your phrases simply now made me really feel unsure once more.”

“That was an exaggerated tone! It doesn’t suggest I truly suppose that approach.”

Track Yan requested her to think about the state of affairs from his perspective, “What can be your response if I stated these issues simply to impress Bai Sen? Would you’ve gotten the identical response?”

Wen Li countered, “However would you actually say such issues?”

She did not fairly imagine it.

“No,” Track Yan replied after a pause, “However you’d.”

“There will not be a subsequent time,” Wen Li muttered below her breath the place he could not see, and she or he added, “Apart from, the state of affairs you talked about does not even exist within the first place.”

“That is not sure. In spite of everything, this business is stuffed with temptations.”

“Hey, should not I be the one saying that?” Wen Li stated with a wry smile, “Though I’ve confidence in my very own attraction, I am unable to assure that you just will not have a change of coronary heart.”

“If I had been to have a change of coronary heart, I might have already,” Track Yan sighed, “Why waste so a few years ready for a idiot to smart up?”

“Hey, who’re you calling a idiot?”

Track Yan lastly chuckled softly, “You. Cannot you inform?”

“Tch, I am not going to argue with you,” Wen Li thought for a second and tentatively requested, “You laughed simply now, so you are not indignant anymore, proper? I did not imply what I stated earlier, I swear. You are making a fuss over nothing, and I do not know find out how to appease you.”

“I do know,” Track Yan stated, holding his telephone with one hand whereas the opposite rested leisurely on the again of the chair. He tilted his head again, gazing on the obvious gentle supply above him, and narrowed his eyes barely. His voice was gentle, “However I am timid, simply frightened.”

She most likely would not perceive and he did not anticipate her to empathize. Track Yan did not insist on that.

However he nonetheless hoped she would not say issues that may scare him, even when they had been simply jokes.

There was a protracted silence on the telephone, and instantly, Wen Li gathered up all her braveness and stated loudly, “I like you!”

Although she did not perceive and could not empathize, she cared about his emotions. So when he stated he was timid, she instantly expressed her love loudly, telling him to not be timid.

Track Yan did not react for a second, “En?”

“I stated my birthday is subsequent month,” Wen Li, who had simply boldly declared her love a second in the past, instantly reverted to her common awkward self, “You perceive, proper?”

Track Yan lowered his gaze and requested, “Repeat what you stated earlier than.”

“…” Wen Li declined, “Let’s wait till you are achieved with work and again in Yancheng.”

“Then immediately—”

He was instantly interrupted by a stern Wen Li, “Please focus in your work! Do not make me look down on you!”

Track Yan laughed and responded, “Okay, I am going to deal with my work.”

Wen Li squeezed out a proud sound from her nostril, “Hmm.”

Track Yan requested her, “What birthday reward would you like?”

“You,” Wen Li replied.

The person’s expression froze, and his coronary heart was as soon as once more stirred by her one phrase, inflicting numerous ripples.

He swallowed his saliva, and his voice instantly grew to become low, “Okay, watch for it.”

Wen Li sensed that one thing wasn’t fairly proper from his tone however feared that her ideas had been too impure. She shortly clarified, “I imply, I need you to return again safely. What are you pondering?”

Track Yan laughed with out giving a transparent reply, and he slowly requested, “You will discover out after I come again, will not you?”

“…”

Wen Li blushed and regretted why she had acted impulsively and stated these tacky traces to impress him.

After he completed talking on the telephone, Track Yan returned to the personal room to proceed socializing.

The personal room was bustling with noise. The string that had simply been struck in Track Yan’s coronary heart shortly returned to calm.

Director Guo was drunk and loudly demanded everybody to assemble and watch his goddaughter dance.

Just a few folks instantly tapped their chopsticks on the desk and cheered, “Let his goddaughter carry out!”

Reluctantly, Xu Xingyue, who was being urged, could not refuse. She noticed that Track Yan had simply returned at the moment and her face grew to become much more embarrassed and flustered.

The person clearly had no real interest in watching her dance. He did not be part of within the cheering. Whereas others centered their gaze on Xu Xingyue’s efficiency, he lowered his eyelids, took benefit of the time when nobody was ingesting, and raised his hand to ask the waiter to carry him a bowl of rice. Calmly, he began his dinner.

After the dance, the folks on the desk began ingesting once more. After they lastly completed their meal, it was already late. After bidding farewell, they ready to return to the lodge to relaxation.

There was solely a one-star lodge close by, so a number of of them had been heading in the identical course. The crew’s employees had a minor concern on the movie and tv base. After receiving the telephone name, Qiu Ping rushed there by automobile, asking Previous Zhou and Track Yan to return to the lodge first.

Previous Zhou had drunk fairly a bit tonight and was impressed. He brushed a number of pages in his pocket book whereas within the automobile. As quickly as he obtained out of the automobile, he left Track Yan and deliberate to shortly write down the inspiration whereas it was nonetheless in his thoughts.

Track Yan rubbed his temples. Assistant Ah Kang was by his aspect and requested concernedly if he wanted assist.

It was at this second that Xu Xingyue came to visit and stated she had one thing to speak to him about.

“It is about Senior Sister Wen,” Xu Xingyue glanced at his assistant and stated, “It will not be good for Senior Sister Wen if extra folks know, so Instructor Track, are you able to ask your assistant to step apart for a second?”

Director Guo collapsed as quickly as he entered the room, so he did not take note of her. Feeling dissatisfied with Track Yan’s angle in direction of her tonight, she impulsively came to visit drunk.

Ah Kang glanced at Track Yan, who was nonetheless fairly clear-headed regardless of having drunk lots after which checked out Xu Xingyue, who did not draw back to request a non-public dialog with a married man. He could not assist however fear for each Brother Yan and Sister Wen.

This purpose of Xu Xingyue’s was certainly well-thought-out. Track Yan requested Ah Kang to return to the room first. Then, leaning towards the wall within the lodge hall, he stated concisely, “Communicate.”

Xu Xingyue was considerably shocked, “Should not we go contained in the room to speak?”

Track Yan turned his head and appeared on the surveillance digital camera on the hall, unsure whether or not the cameras on this lodge had audio recording functionality. In case this individual organized for somebody to eavesdrop from a distance, even when he was speaking to somebody within the lodge hall, it could be tough to clarify later.

It was essential to be cautious.

Track Yan took out his telephone straight and casually opened the recording operate.

Dealing with Xu Xingyue, the person checked out his telephone. The telephone display was going through away from Xu Xingyue and she or he thought he was getting impatient together with her.

“Senior Sister Wen is having an affair,” To make her phrases sound extra convincing, Xu Xingyue even informed him the identify of the person she was having an affair with, “She’s having an affair with a trainee named Xu Li from ‘For You To Debut’.”

Track Yan: “?”
