Chapter 699: Chapter 708: Accident (5)
He seldom saw his father beaten.
In his mory, Yu Jingxi was a serious and arrogant man, not soone who was particularly likable.
But it was because of his own strength that he could afford to be proud and serious.
“What are you talking about?” Shen Lanxiao was speechless. Couldn’t her son speak properly? The bidding hadn’t even started, and here he was cursing his own parents for not being able to handle it. “Actually, even if this doesn’t work out, we have a backup plan. You just focus on your acting, and when you co back, Mom will make you sothing delicious to eat.”
“I know, you… and Dad also need to take good care of yourselves.” Yu Zexiao felt a mix of emotions in his heart. Even though he often argued with his parents, at tis like this, what he missed the most was their safety and well-being.
“Alright, you scamp. As long as you don’t cause any trouble and make and your father worry, that’s enough!” Shen Lanxiao hung up the phone on her end.
anwhile, Jian Anning was sitting on Yu Zexiao’s lap and naturally heard the phone call Shen Lanxiao made. The two of them looked at each other, their expressions a bit stiff.
After a short pause, it was Yu Zexiao who spoke first, “Eh, looks like we won’t be able to return ho tomorrow night.”
By “ho,” he naturally referred to the old house he lived in with his parents, not the villa he purchased on his own.
Jian Anning nodded her head as well. Although at first, she was passively brought up by Yu Zexiao to et his parents and expose their relationship, if it truly couldn’t be successful, she found herself feeling a bit disappointed.
However, no matter how disappointed she was, she couldn’t add pressure to her parents because of her own willfulness.
“Zexiao, there’s nothing that can be done about it,” said Jian Anning, who had been a corporate executive for a ti, responsible for human resources without being involved in things like bidding. But because she wanted to take over her father’s company, she had so involvent in these matters, “With this kind of situation, of course the bigger issue takes precedence. You are their son; at tis like this, if you can’t help them, then at least… you shouldn’t make things difficult for them.”
Yu Zexiao understood all this but still felt a bit upset. He rested his head on her shoulder and rubbed back and forth, his voice a bit soft, “I really want to… settle things sooner. This feeling of being suspended in midair is too uncomfortable.”
By all accounts, he was a high-profile superstar, while she was just an assistant. Yet, paradoxically, in this relationship, it was he who was insecure, he who had always lacked commitnt. Even though they were together now, they could not go public.
To him, this was a kind of torture.
Yu Zexiao was the sort of person who was proud and looked down on imperfections, but once he liked sothing, he would wholeheartedly adore it. His celebrity status, his family, and the probing eyes of so many people around him vexed him to no end.
“Don’t rush. Anyway, we’re shooting the film, and we should be able to go back tomorrow afternoon.” Though there was a little bit left to shoot, at least they wouldn’t need to keep staying together on-site.
Jian Anning’s words indeed made Yu Zexiao feel a lot better, and he quickly leaned in, “Once we get out, you’ve already promised to go with to buy sexy lingerie! I’ve got to pick it out carefully!”
