Chapter 64 - Acting
64 Acting
Cheng Shi suppressed her anger. She put on a smile again and said, “Thank you for your reminder, Mrs. Su. I’ll definitely pay more attention to it in the future.”
“You’re welcome. It’s what I should do.” Xi Wan also smiled.
She looked like a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Although she was smiling on the surface, it was hard to tell what kind of thoughts were hidden under that smile.
Cheng Shi walked away resentfully. Xi Wan also let go of her hand that was holding onto Su Xun and said, “Acting is really exhausting. Fortunately, I left the entertainment industry early. I’ll probably die of exhaustion if I have to stay in the entertainment industry and act.”
Su Xun paused and his eyes automatically locked on Xiao Zhe who was in front of him. He curled his lips and asked, “I didn’t expect you to still be in contact with Xiao Zhe.”
“Don’t accuse me.” Xi Wan felt nauseated at the mention of this name. “He was the one who came to me today. He kept pestering me to continue collaborating with him and he even wanted to use his status as the top actor and my former boss to oppress me.”
Su Xun trembled. He did not expect Xi Wan to say that.
Xi Wan stretched her muscles, then stretched out her right index finger and drew a circle on Su Xun’s chest. “Besides, Chairman Su, you have spies everywhere. It’s not just the matter between Xiao Zhe and me, but also the matter between me and other people. Can’t you just move your fingers and find out about the truth?”
Su Xun’s eyes darkened. Just as he was about to grab Xi Wan’s restless hand, she retracted her hand, turned around, and walked towards Xiao Zhe.
Xiao Zhe’s heart was pounding.
He had always been a carefree young master and he had long gotten tired of the comfortable and carefree life, so he was looking for excitement now.
Even though he did not like Xi Wan, Su Xun was still here. Wasn’t Xi Wan afraid that Su Xun would be angry if she walked over to him so openly?
Xi Wan walked in front of Xiao Zhe and took away the plate of half-eaten pastries beside him without saying a word.
Xiao Zhe: “What?”
Su Xun, who had witnessed everything, had the same expression as Xiao Zhe.
The system had no hands. Otherwise, it would have scratched its ears and cheeks. [Why do you have to talk to the antagonist like that? Is it to make him interested in you?]
Xi Wan said, “I really cannot imagine it then. Isn’t he reincarnated? Wouldn’t he know very well whether there’s anything between me and Xiao Zhe then? What’s the point of being so eccentric here? What i said was not wrong.”
The system said: [But the current plot has gone a bit off track now and it’s difficult to determine which event will cause the antagonist to have doubts about you! Aren’t you afraidat all?]
Xi Wan did not understand. “Why are you so afraid? Could it be another mission just now? Could it be that I didn’t succeed?”
[That was indeed a mission just now…] The system was even more distressed when it spoke of this. [This is already an outrageous thing but I didn’t expect that what was even more ridiculous was that you passed the mission!]
The system looked at the green checkmark and could not understand how Xi Wan had passed the mission.
Xi Wan smiled in satisfaction and said to the system, “Since I’ve passed the mission, don’t worry about anything else. In any case, this is a good thing and it doesn’t bring any harm to you or me.”
The system still could not figure it out so it simply crashed and went into hibernation.
Ling Feng was also present at the auction. He originally wanted to talk to Xi Wan, but first it was the circle of rich ladies, then it was Xiao Zhe, and finally it was Wang Rui. He had no chance to interrupt at all.
Now that she was standing together with Su Xun and they were being very affectionate, Ling Feng actually had the illusion that he was a clown.
He was already starting to have doubts about Xi Wan.
Su Xun did not have any doubts about Xi Wan for the time being because he knew very little about her. In addition, he usually had a cautious personality so he would not judge whether Xi Wan was different from before just because of one incident.
However, Ling Feng was different. He had known Xi Wan for many years and understood her style of doing things very well. If it was Xi Wan in the past, she definitely would not have responded to the sudden events like she did today.
Although Xi Wan loved Ling Feng so much that she was even willing to sacrifice herself for him in the original plot, the plot was going in a different direction from what Ling Feng had expected. Ling Feng could not be sure if Xi Wan still liked him.
As for Zhao Fei, she was also different from what he had expected.
“Xi Wan, what exactly do you think of me?” Ling Feng muttered to himself, “If I didn’t end up with Zhao Fei, would you still be with me then?”
However, only the air lingered around him. Xi Wan had already followed Su Xun into the main venue.
