Xu Xiyan immediately walked over to Wen Li, opening the pastry packaging along the way. By the time she reached the assistant, Xu Xiyan had already fished out the peanut butter cream pastry from inside the packet.Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com
“Oh no, you eat it, Ms. Xinrou gave it to you,” said Wen Li as she stared at the pastry in disgust. She did not want to look at anything Jing Xi had touched, let alone eat it.
“I know, but good things are meant to be shared, right?”
Xu Xiyan’s smile was now firmly set on her face. “Assistant Wen, you’ve been so nice to me. Please, let me return the favor by feeding you!”
And then—
Right in front of everyone, Xu Xiyan forcefully stuffed the pastry into Wen Li’s mouth, pressing it in with all her strength.
Xu Xiyan recalled Wen Li’s snide remarks and disdainful looks, and wished the pastry had been dog poop instead.
Wen Li had not been quick enough to avoid Xu Xiyan. Her mouth was now stuffed full of cake. She tried to resist, but Xu Xiyan was stronger than she was: she smeared peanut butter and cream all over Wen Li’s face.
Xu Xiyan released Wen Li and casually wiped her sticky fingers on the assistant’s clothes, as though it was the most natural thing in the world. She patted Wen Li on the shoulder and said, “There we go. Please, enjoy the pastry, Assistant Wen. Thank you for the snack, Ms. Xu!”
Xu Xiyan did not have many lines for her ads. They were easy to remember.
She completed all three of her in-program ads without a hitch. Before leaving the set, Xu Xiyan decided to look for the director, Huang Guoqiang.
Huang Guoqiang was discussing something with the set manager. Xu Xiyan waited until he had finished before walking over to greet him.
“Director Huang, I’m done shooting my in-program ads.”
Huang Guoqiang turned at the sound of her voice, and smiled when he saw that it was Xu Xiyan. He pointed to the chair across him. “You’re done? Excellent. Come, have a seat.”
Xu Xiyan sat down.
Huang Guoqiang had asked Xu Xiyan to sit down and talk because he wanted to ask about Qi Liya. “By the way, Jing Xi, was Little Qi alone in her room when you left the hospital?”
“That’s right.”
Huang Guoqiang nodded. He made a few false starts, not knowing how to broach the subject. “So Little Qi...”
“Don’t worry, Director Huang. Xiao Ke’s with her now.” Xu Xiyan watched him intently with her bright eyes. She decided it was time to lay it all out in the open. “Hey, Director Huang, can I ask you something? Are you in love with Ms. Qi?”
A look of surprise flashed across Huang Guoqiang’s face; this was quickly followed by a smile as he poked her forehead with a finger. “You cheeky girl, nothing gets past you. All right, you’ve seen through me.”
Huang Guoqiang had spent enough time with Xu Xiyan to know that she could be trusted. He opened up to her, revealing to her his deepest secrets.
