Battle with the Lover - C281
“I didn’t mean that. I meant that. Your appearance and temperament are all one in a million.”
Xiao Yihan, who hadn’t spoke for a long time, finally could not resist coughing twice after hearing this.
Wasn’t it too much to praise his woman in front of him?
He had been silent this entire time, because he cared about Jian Wei and not because he wanted to tolerate her.
Ouyang Nuo did not know whether to laugh or cry, and lowered her head to eat.
On the other hand, Jian Wei started to think seriously. She was only twenty-four years old, and the road ahead was still too long.
In fact, she really liked the experience of fitting in as she did today.
“If my mind continues to wander like this, the sky will soon turn dark.” Xiao Yihan added a few pieces of meat into her empty bowl, then remembered what she had said that morning and specifically reminded her, “I’m telling you, no diet, or else you won’t be filming in the afternoon.”
“I’m not hungry. I just ate a lot.”
“Do you want me to feed you?”
Everyone’s attention was instantly attracted to her words.
“No.” Jian Wei lowered her head, and her face was as red as a lobster on the table.
“Then have a good meal, so you’ll have the energy to work in the afternoon, and don’t worry me.”
“Alright.”
Seeing the interaction between the two, the stylist said softly, “Did you notice that the Radix Sorbiae treats Madam as if she’s a child? It’s really too enviable. If only there was a man who could treat me like this in his lifetime, how great that would be.”
“Alright, eat your food. Your wish should be fulfilled in your dreams.”
This meal lasted for about an hour and a half.
Under Xiao Yihan’s forcefulness, Jian Wei ate a lot of food, and walked with an uncomfortable stomach.
“What’s wrong?” Xiao Yihan noticed her abnormality.
“Isn’t it all because of you?”
If it wasn’t for him, she wouldn’t have eaten so much.
“Me? What happened last night? ”
Xiao Yihan’s voice was a little loud, and instantly stirred up another wave of surprised exclamations.
Jian Wei was completely helpless. Her current posture was not right, and with Xiao Yihan’s question, it was very easy for others to misunderstand her.
Just as she was about to explain, she heard Ouyang Nuo say, “If it’s not convenient for your body, how about we change the filming test set for this afternoon to 9 tomorrow morning?”
We are all adults, and we can’t fail to understand these things.
Only, he did not expect that Xiao Yihan, who had always walked the path of abstinence, would privately be on a completely different level.
“About that, I’m fine.” Jian Wei anxiously tried to explain, but was interrupted by Xiao Yihan: “Then let’s do it tomorrow, she is indeed not feeling well.”
“Alright, then I’ll give everyone a break for half a day first. Tomorrow morning, I’ll be at the company before 9 o’clock. Is that alright?”
“I can.” The makeup artist, stylist and assistant replied together.
It must be known that for people at their level, taking a vacation was not easy. Ever since they started following Ouyang Nuo, their time on vacation became shorter and shorter.
Now, being able to give them half a day’s leave because of Jian Wei alone, all of them were so excited that they didn’t know what to do. They only opened their WeChat in front of Xiao Yihan, thanking him.
Ouyang Nuo probably had some matters to attend to in the afternoon so after bidding them farewell, she got into a taxi.
Only Xiao Yihan and Jian Wei were left.
It was not yet half past one.
“Is there anything fun around here?” Jian Wei did not want to argue with him, walking on the busy street, he did not want to stop.
“Forget it today. You’ve been tired all morning. I’ll bring you here tomorrow.” Xiao Yihan’s expression was a little panicked. If he knew that Jian Wei would be concerned about this, he would have definitely done his homework.
“Alright, then I’ll go back first. You’re going to work?”
“Where are you going? I’ll take you there and then go back to the company.”
No matter how small a matter it was, as long as it was related to Jian Wei, Xiao Yihan was willing to participate.
“I’ll go home. I don’t know how it went at one point.”
In the past few days, he had gained quite a bit of weight and his appearance had become much clearer. He estimated that after a period of time, he would be able to see just who his facial features were.
Under Xiao Yihan’s perseverance, he forcefully brought Jian Wei home.
He watched her enter the house again before leaving in satisfaction.
Jian Wei changed her slippers and planned to go upstairs to take a look.
Sisters of the Moon walked over and said, “Young Master should be sleeping early today. You should rest first, I’ll wake you up when he wakes up.”
“Alright, you should rest for a while as well.”
Last night, Jian Wei did not sleep very well. She walked into the room, took off her jacket, and changed into family attire.
Lying on the bed, she turned on her cell phone. She felt that something was wrong, that she had forgotten something.
After calculating for half a day, she hurriedly opened the calendar. Only then did she realize that it was almost Xiao Yihan’s birthday.
Ten days.
She hadn’t prepared a gift yet.
For some reason, she suddenly became flustered.
Her thoughts unknowingly drifted back to her past. The first time she knew about Xiao Yihan’s birthday, it was because Old Man Xiao had reminded her before.
That year, when they had just gotten married, her life had been a mess, and he had only come to her when his body needed it.
But her grandfather had advised her many times, said that he hoped that she could obtain Xiao Yihan’s heart, and even told her many habits regarding Xiao Yihan.
For example, after his parents died, he no longer wanted to have a birthday. Unlike those rich people who held dinners, he never organized these events, nor did he like receiving blessings.
The reason was simple. His childhood memories were too deep.
It was so good then, his parents were here, and he was the only son of the family. Not mentioning how he had been doted on by thousands of people, this kinship had left a deep mark on his heart when he was young.
So much so that when his parents disappeared, he gave up on the birthday altogether.
Because, whenever someone gave him a blessing or a gift, it would remind him of his parents, of their kind and amiable faces, of his bitter experiences.
At that time, Jian Wei only felt pain in her heart. Although Xiao Yihan had treated her well, she still felt that it was the first time that she had felt that there would be a soft and fragile side to that insufferable man.
She had carefully prepared a birthday cake and a birthday present for him.
She turned off the light.
When she heard the footsteps outside the door, she slowly walked out with the cake in her hands while singing her happy birthday song.
At first, Xiao Yihan was silent for about a minute.
She had thought that Xiao Yihan had accepted her blessings.
However, who would have thought that the cake was still mercilessly thrown to the ground by him.
Jian Wei was stupefied for a moment, followed by fear.
She wondered if she had done something wrong, if she had hit him in the head, and she started running up the stairs, but the room was too dark, and she twisted her foot.
Just as she had expected, Xiao Yihan ignored her.
