After Xia Shi finished speaking, she turned around and left the room.
"Shi Shi, Shi Shi." Zhai En hurriedly chased after her, but unfortunately, he was only wearing a bathrobe. He could only stand at the door and watch her figure disappear around the corner.
He angrily gritted his teeth, turned back to the room, and was about to change clothes to chase her when his phone suddenly rang.
In a rush to chase his wife, he had no mind to answer a phone call.
However, the call stopped, and then began ringing persistently again.
Zhai En frowned irritably as he picked up his phone and glanced at the caller ID, surprisingly it was Xu Jiayang.
He pressed the answer button, "Xu Jiayang, what do you want?"
The fiery tone in his voice startled Xu Jiayang for a mont, "Did you swallow gunpowder early in the morning?"
"Get to the point, I’m very busy!"
Zhai En turned on the speakerphone and tossed the phone onto the table, where it landed right onto a ring.
It was the ring he had personally placed on Zhong Shixia’s finger last night...
Zhai En’s eyes were stinging, and his face turned a bit pale.
She really left the ring behind...
Just last night, they were so intimately entwined, so passionately lingering, and by morning, she had severed ties.
Did she really consider last night’s passion as just a transaction in her eyes?
The term "unspoken rules" was truly ironic here.
Five years ago, she jokingly said their relationship was like unspoken rules; he was the director, she was the actress, and he had written a script just for her.
She joked about it being a role obtained by being a bedfellow.
He didn’t know if she was joking or if it was her true feelings, and he imdiately bought a ring and proposed.
Last night, fearing those words might cause a misunderstanding, he placed the ring on her finger.
Now it had been returned to him—was this her way of stating her position?
Was it just a transaction, nothing more?
Is that what she ant?
Zhai En was in a daze, his heart aching.
From the phone, Xu Jiayang’s voice continually erged, "Zhai En, Zhai En, are you dead? If not, say sothing, Zhai En."
"I’m here, what do you want from ?"
Zhai En snapped back to reality, suppressing the pain in his heart, and continued dressing.
It’s okay, five years ago it was his fault, she had every right to be angry.
As long as he could find her, he could slowly win her back.
He had the patience to win her back for a lifeti!
"What’s with Xia Weibao’s situation?" Xu Jiayang asked.
Why is it about Xia Weibao again, Zhai En was sowhat displeased.
What magic did that woman possess, both his woman and friends ca to him because of her.
"What’s going on, what does she have to do with , I don’t even know her."
"You backed out, and it affected her terribly. Zhai En, I’ve never asked you for anything, but this ti could you please give the role to Xia Weibao? She’s more suitable to play Mu Shi than Qiao Yuchu."
"Got it, I’ll deliver the contract in a few days."
Could he dare to back out?
If the role really went to Qiao Yuchu, then he and Zhong Shixia would really be over.
Besides, he never intended to give it to Qiao Yuchu, it was just a strategy to force Zhong Shixia to co to him.
"Thanks, I owe you one." Xu Jiayang said.
"Alright, alright, if there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up, I’m very busy." Zhai En replied impatiently, picking up his tie to tie it himself.
He really missed those days when Zhong Shixia helped him with his tie.
With everything settled, Xu Jiayang felt relieved and was in the mood for so casual conversation.
"You just arrived in the imperial city last night, didn’t you? Why are you in such a rush early in the morning? Oh, and have you t Xia Shi?"
"Xia Shi?" It took Zhai En two seconds to realize that Xia Shi was Zhong Shixia.
