Jian Tan put down his chopsticks and glanced at An Nan as he said calmly, “Are you saying that I’m playing favorites? Or is it that anyone can ride on my popularity?”

With that, he turned to Xia Wei and smiled. “If I remember correctly, Xia Wei is my fan, right? The breakfast was delicious. Thank you for your hard work!”

[OMG!! What did I just see? My idol actually has such a gentle side to him.]

[No way, someone actually dares to criticize my idol, Jian Tan! An Nan, know your place. How dare you clamor in front of the Best Actor Award winner?]

[Good job, Xia Wei. Thank you for taking care of my idol. I’m cheering you on!]

[An Nan, who doesn’t know how to speak properly but always wants to cause trouble, hurry up and leave the show.]

Upon hearing Jian Tan’s words, Xia Wei felt awkward. The original Host’s previous action of pretending to be Jian Tan’s fan was done too sloppily, so it was easy for netizens to find out. It seemed like she needed to do more research on Jian Tan.

An Nan widened her eyes in disbelief and hurriedly shook her head in panic.

Although An Nan couldn’t see the netizens’ reaction now, everyone knew that Mr. Jian’s words would have a huge impact on her career.

Why did Mr. Jian drag himself into this? She was only targeting Xia Wei. How could she dare to criticize a big shot like Mr. Jian?

Everyone in the industry knew that although Mr. Jian always acted aloof, Mr. Jian was polite to everyone and rarely embarrassed others in public.

But today, Jian Tan…

In an instant, An Nan thought that Jian Tan had been bewitched by Xia Wei.

“The meal is ready. Everyone, prepare to eat,” Xin Xin walked over as she said in a gentle voice. Unfortunately, no one present responded.

The smile on Xin Xin’s lips froze.

Xia Wei raised her eyebrows. One drama after another ensued! How entertaining!

As the female lead, it was rare for Xin Xin to have no one supporting her!

Xia Wei looked around the dining room. Su Chu was glaring at An Nan, like she would pounce on her and bite her if she said anything wrong again. Jian Tan was wiping his fingers with a handkerchief.

An Nan was still in a state of shock. Li Xian, who had been staying in the dining room, sat in a corner and stared out the window in silence, as if he had not heard anything.

Xia Wei wasn’t surprised that Su Chu and Jian Tan didn’t respond to Xin Xin. However, Li Xian, as Xin Xin’s lackey, actually ignored her. This was really surprising.

Xin Xin was only embarrassed for a moment before Chen Yuan and Liu Shi walked out of the kitchen with plates.

After Liu Shi placed the plate on the dining table and pushed Xin Xin to sit down, he sat beside her and said in a cheerful voice, “Sister Xin Xin, you’re a hero for cooking today’s breakfast. I’ll serve you porridge!”

Chen Yuan was a little displeased, but he didn’t say anything and sat down opposite Xin Xin.

Xia Wei raised her eyebrows. With Chen Yuan’s reaction, it seemed that Liu Shi had hindered his and Xin Xin’s interaction in the kitchen just now.

However, as male and female leads, if they didn’t experience more obstacles, how could their relationship become more resilient in the future?!

Xia Wei was enjoying the drama when she suddenly felt a gaze on her. When she looked over, she saw Li Xian walking over from the window.

After he sat beside Chen Yuan, he continued to stare at her.

Xia Wei avoided the camera as she rolled her eyes. What was wrong with this jerk? Why was he looking at her? Wasn’t his goddess right opposite him? If he didn’t hurry up and please the female lead, when would he be able to win her heart?

However, even until the end of the original novel, he was a supporting character. With his current performance, it was reasonable that he was only a supporting actor.

Li Xian finally looked away when he saw Xia Wei rolling her eyes at him.

Xin Xin, who was at the side, regained her gentle smile as she looked at An Nan and said, “Sister Nan, you must be hungry. Quick, sit down and try my cooking.”

Xin Xin’s voice brought An Nan back to her senses and she suppressed the uneasiness in her heart.

As An Nan sat beside Xin Xin, she explained to Jian Tan with a smile, “That’s not what I meant. I just feel sorry for you. It was very difficult for you to prepare breakfast for all of us alone. Since Xia Wei knows how to cook, she should have helped you share the burden.”

Xin Xin’s expression stiffened when she heard this. Was An Nan an idiot? Why was she implicating her in such a matter?

Xia Wei almost laughed out loud when she saw Xin Xin’s fake puzzled expression. An Nan was really screwing her over.

The netizens in the comments section also started to criticize An Nan.

[An Nan, shut up. You might as well not explain since you’ll just cause trouble.]

[An Nan actually dragged Xin Xin into this mess. Where’s my knife?]
