Chapter 52: Help Out
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The weather was a little hot, and Xia Wei was very frustrated. She did not expect Wang Ming to be so late. It was almost 40 minutes, right?
After being scolded by Xia Wei, Li Xian miracuously restrained his anger.
He took a deep breath and eased his angry expression. He coaxed softly, “I know you’re still angry with me, but the weather is so hot now. You shouldn’t be angry with me with your body, right? What if you get a heatstroke? What if others find out that you’re not picked up? Aren’t you afraid that they’ll laugh at you? Don’t be angry anymore. Hurry up and get in the car!”
Xia Wei did not know what was wrong with this man. She retracted her gaze speechlessly and did not intend to talk nonsense with him. Any ex-boyfriend with a little conscience should be as peaceful as death, and the kind that would never ‘come back to life’!
Li Xian was really very self-righteous and strange. Xia Wei did not have anything to do with the scumbag, so she pretended not to hear or see him!
Just as Li Xian was rejected by Xia Wei’s coldness and speechlessness, an abnormally low-key and luxurious seven-seater slowly stopped in front of their car.
Wu Fan got out of the car with a strange expression and opened the back door. He looked at his boss who got out of the car and looked very gloomy.
…..
Xia Wei instinctively looked at the car that suddenly stopped and at Jian Tan with a questioning gaze.
Jian Tan laughed slightly, as if he did not see Li Xian in the car at all. He chuckled and looked at Xia Wei slyly. He pretended to ask gently, “Is there anyone returning to City A? The luxurious seats cost 10 yuan each. We’ll leave immediately after you get into the car!”
Xia Wei almost couldn’t hold back her laughter as she watched Jian Tan joke around.
After a long five minutes, Xia Wei finally came back to her senses as she enjoyed on the air conditioner in Jian Tan’s seven-seater and drank his iced fruit juice.
She didn’t know why she got into Jian Tan’s car in a daze. Was Li Xian really too annoying? Or was the weather too hot? Or was Jian Tan too considerate and gentlemanly…
Xia Wei did not know either. She just leaned back comfortably in the car seat and lamented at her wise choice.
“Have you recovered?”
Hearing this low and gentle question, Xia Wei was stunned. She turned to look at Jian Tan opposite her. She chuckled in embarrassment and replied, “I’ve recovered. Thank you, Idol. You’ve helped me a lot!”
As she spoke, she seemed to feel that she should explain what had happened to Jian Tan. However, after thinking about it, she realized that she could not explain it. She could only chuckle and tease herself. “I’ve made a fool of myself. I’m sorry. If there’s a chance another day, I’ll treat you to a meal, okay?”
Actually, Jian Tan already knew that Xia Wei was a very different girl. However, when he heard Xia Wei talk about her embarrassing matters so openly and without evasion, his heart ached.
He did not know why no one picked up Xia Wei, nor did he understand the past between Xia Wei and Li Xian. He just felt that this frank and cute girl who was not shy was really tempting.
“It’s fine to help. I’m just a little curious. Why are you so pitiful as a celebrity? Where’s your manager? Chen Yuan is your boss. Doesn’t he care about you?”
Jian Tan’s joking question did not make Xia Wei too embarrassed. She was even a little grateful for Jian Tan’s “not caring” and “indifference”. Such gentlemanly behavior was very appropriate.
“I’m not that pitiful. Didn’t I also get into the ‘Shunfeng Luxury Car’ that costs 10 yuan?” As Xia Wei spoke, she raised her hand and hung up the call from her manager. After casually sending an address to Wang Ming, she continued, “My manager had something on at the last minute, so he asked me to wait for him for a while. As for Chen Yuan…”
“This has nothing to do with Chen Yuan. I don’t feel sorry for myself at all. Isn’t this an ordinary thing? It’s also because everyone in the industry is used to their self-centered lifestyle that this not-so-righteous atmosphere is created!”
As Xia Wei spoke, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have said too much. The person beside her was the center of attention. Did she say the wrong thing?
She glanced at Jian Tan and heaved a sigh of relief when she did not see any change in the man’s expression..
