The Special Assistant was his longest-serving employee. He immediately understood what he meant by that one look. He walked to the side of the studio and carried a chair over to Xia Changyue.

“Have a seat, Miss Xia. The show is only about to start.”

“…”

Xia Changyue was taken aback, then she turned and looked at Yan Chengchi.

He wasn’t even looking at her direction. She disappointedly lowered her gaze and said, “Thank you.”

What was she expecting? Yan Chengchi hated her immensely now. There was no way he would get the Special Assistant to carry a chair for her.

However, what did the Special Assistant mean about what he mentioned regarding the show?

A lightbulb suddenly went on in her head when she thought about the ice-cold beer Yan Chengchi had said. She turned and looked at Yan Chengchi with her eyes wide open.

Did he pull a stunt on Jiang Mingna purposely?

Why though?

Was it because of her…

Xia Changyue’s heart began to beat rapidly as if it would jump out of her mouth at the very next moment. She pressed her hands onto her chest and stared at Yan Chengchi.

Did he really suggest to the director to change the script suddenly because Jiang Mingna splashed a bottle of water on her?

Maybe he still cared a little about her in his heart?

However, his expression was so cold earlier, and he walked past her without even taking a look at her.

How could he possibly still care for her…

Xia Changyue bit her lips and reminded herself not to be over-sentimental. Yan Chengchi hated her so much now, so there was no way he would help her.

She raised her head and looked at the rearranged set, but she couldn’t help but glance at Yan Chengchi, who was sitting next to her.

She peeked at him surreptitiously, but before she could move her gaze, Yan Chengchi turned around suddenly and caught her furtive gaze with his enigmatic black eyes.

Xia Changyue stopped breathing like a thief who was caught. She wanted to turn her head, but her neck had stiffened. She just looked straight at him with her eyes wide open.

Nevertheless, Yan Chengchi just glanced at her face and then moved his gaze away.

He lowered his gaze and looked ahead coldly.

“…”

Xia Changyue was startled in an instant.

She was, indeed, over-sentimental. Yan Chengchi even wouldn’t want to look at her, so there was no way he would pull a prank on Jiang Mingna just to avenge her.

He was merely the investor who was concerned about his corporation’s interests.

They began to reshoot the part where Jiang Mingna was splashed with beer.

Jiang Mingna actually managed to remain calm when the icy cold beer was thrown on her, all because she wanted to impress Yan Chengchi.

She should be happy to see that Jiang Mingna was making a fool of herself, but she felt uncomfortable knowing that she did all these to get close to Yan Chengchi.

Finally, when the reshoots were done, the director noticed her waiting at the side.

“Thank you for waiting so long, Miss Xia. Let me introduce you to Yan Corporation’s…” Before the director could even finish speaking, Yan Chengchi stood up from his chair, turned around, and left.

The director’s hand froze in mid-air, and he didn’t know whether to continue or not.

Xia Changyue was equally embarrassed.

She already knew he hated her and the sight of her. That was why he didn’t go back to the villa for a whole week.

However, her heart still hurt like someone was squeezing it when she saw him walk away so heartlessly in front of her twice.

“I really pity you, Xia Changyue. Young Master Chi must be so disgusted with you that he does not even want to speak to you. I will hide somewhere if I am you, so I will not contaminate people’s eyes.

Jiang Mingna, who was wearing a bathrobe, walked in front of Xia Changyue arrogantly.

Her face looked horrible with green and purple patches after being repeatedly splashed with multiple glasses of cold beer.
