Chapter 451: The Persona Is Outdated
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xia Wei had never questioned Jian Tan’s ability. Not to mention the super aristocratic families behind him, even a small local tyrant like Jiang Xiao, who occupied City A, would not dare to do anything to him as he was a top celebrity in the international film industry.
Unless the Jiang Family did not want to continue developing their business in China’s film industry in the future!
Hence, Jiang Xiao actually had no chance of winning against Jian Tan. The only way he could try to control Jian Tan was through Xia Wei. However, Xia Wei was also his weakness, so there seemed to be no solution for this round…
At this moment, Xia Wei did not care about anyone other than Jian Tan. She had been listening to Jian Tan with a smile. It was only when Jian Tan mentioned City T and the “soft setbacks” that she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Seeing the roguish look on Jian Tan’s face slowly disappear, Xia Wei frowned and asked, “What ‘soft setbacks’? Do you mean that you left a ‘backup plan’ for Jiang Xiao when we came back from City T previously? That’s why he was in such a sorry state when he first appeared?”
Jiang Xiao had said it himself just now. He had just returned to City A when he bumped into her and Jian Tan in the hospital. Today was already the fifth day since they returned from City T. From this, it was obvious how long Jiang Xiao had been held up in City T!
Jian Tan knew that Xia Wei had always been very smart. He took the initiative to mention City T because of such concerns. Instead of letting Jiang Xiao think that it was something that could threaten his relationship with Xia Wei, he might as well confess everything to Xia Wei now.
He did not want Xia Wei to think that he was a dishonest person. The most taboo thing for two people in an intimate relationship was to hide and suspect each other. A smart person like Jian Tan would naturally not be stupid enough to make such a low-level mistake!
This phrase summarized the Best Actor’s thoughts at this moment. It was: Confess and be lenient. Resist and be strict.
“Yes. Previously, when we were in City T, I asked Ye Ting to find a random excuse to detain Jiang Xiao and his subordinates in the military camp of his garrison. I didn’t expect the Jiang Family to rescue them so quickly. It’s only been a few days, but Jiang Xiao has already returned from City T. I’ve really underestimated him.”
Jian Tan observed the expression on Xia Wei’s face as he spoke, as if he was afraid of missing out on his girlfriend’s disgust. That was something he did not want to see happen.
As if she had roughly guessed it, no other emotions could be seen on Xia Wei’s face. She only looked at Jian Tan, who was carefully observing her. After a while, she smiled and asked in confusion, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Seeing this, Jian Tan chuckled. Looking at Xia Wei’s puzzled eyes, he replied, “It’s nothing. I’m just a little worried that you’ll be unhappy…”
“Why are you so worried? Do I look like the kind of innocent female lead who doesn’t stand on her boyfriend’s side even when he’s right? Please, Idol, that’s an ancient persona from many years ago. Let’s move with the times, okay?”
As she spoke, she smiled and took the initiative to stuff her hand into Jian Tan’s palm. Then, she leaned closer to the other party and continued, “Jiang Xiao isn’t a good person. How can we subdue him easily without using some small tactics?! You did very well like this. You’ve helped me vent my anger. Not bad!”
“Besides, if he really does things ‘cleanly’, Ye Ting won’t be able to find anything on him. In the end, he deserves it. I’m not that saintly to forgive the person who harmed me unconditionally. In my opinion, it’s only right to mess with him once. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
After saying that, Xia Wei looked up and smiled brightly at Jian Tan. She looked like a little sun that was emitting light and warmth.
Under such a gentle gaze, Jian Tan’s heart had already turned soft and hot.
He raised his hand and touched Xia Wei’s incomparably beautiful face. After a few seconds, he smiled in relief, as if his heart, which had been hanging carefully just now, had a place to rest.
“Why are you so obedient? Come over and let me kiss you.”
The love in the Best Actor’s eyes was very intoxicating. Xia Wei’s heart thumped wildly as she looked at him..
