However, just as the press conference was about to begin, an unexpected figure arrived.
Situ Xuan.
At that mont, he, along with Yin Maohui and others from Starlight Entertainnt, was walking down the corridor towards the venue. From the other direction, Situ Xuan appeared with senior executives from Huasi Film and Television!
The two groups happened to et in an open area not far from the venue.
He was wearing a ticulously tailored suit, highlighting his broad shoulders, long legs, and tall, upright figure. As soon as he appeared, he was accompanied by a group of what appeared to be top executives, clearly from Huasi Film and Television.
When he saw them, Situ Xuan’s expression remained remarkably calm. He first looked at Yu Zexiao with a smile: "Zero, I heard about yesterday’s events. Truly unexpected."
The ambiguous remark gave nothing away. In front of so many people, Yu Zexiao wouldn’t argue with him. He imdiately responded with a full smile: "What can I say, being too popular has its downsides."
The rivalry with Situ Xuan seed ingrained in their bones. Even though there was no visible conflict between them on the surface, as soon as they spoke, the tension was palpable!
Situ Xuan didn’t fuss, and instead turned his gaze to Jian Anning, standing next to Yu Zexiao. Unlike the perfunctory glance he gave Yu Zexiao, the way he looked at Jian Anning was filled with a gentle warmth, almost flowing like water!
He smiled warmly at Jian Anning and suddenly asked: "Anning, how about you? It’s been a long ti. How have you been lately?"
Jian Anning raised her head and saw his face adorned with a gentle smile. In those gray-blue eyes, faint starlight sparkled, like the unfathomable depth of the sea.
With just one look, she could see the deep affection in his gaze. Completely different from a few days ago, where his apparent warmth seed purely platonic. It was more like before, when she was "uncommitted," neither agreeing to be with Yu Zexiao nor defining anything with him, there was that ambiguity and admiration!
No, it seed a bit different.
Back then, Situ Xuan was just as full of tenderness. But his tenderness carried a touch of mature consideration, blended with a sense of rational restraint. It made her feel that although he liked her, his eyes lacked that bit of respect and recognition.
But now, it was different.
His gaze was as tender as water, vast as the sea, and the most important thing was—she could feel that at this mont, in his eyes, she wasn’t just a woman being pursued. In the past, if his attitude towards her seed like a casual conquest tinged with slight flippancy, now he was genuinely treating her as soone on equal footing, seeking a "wife."
With just a glance, she noticed sothing was off. No matter what, his overly aggressive, blatantly admiring gaze was overwhelming!
It was strange; hadn’t she already rejected him before? Didn’t he also state that they would only be friends? So why now, under the public eye, was he looking at her with such intensity?
Imdiately, she stepped back slightly, smiled politely, and thanked him: "Thank you for your concern, William."
After speaking, she deliberately moved a little closer to Yu Zexiao. It was obvious she was telling Situ Xuan that she was "already spoken for"!
