The President’s Man - Chapter 355

….

After Xiao Lei was done changing, she immediately bade goodbye In the car, Xiao Lei felt a sudden sharp pain on her left shoulder.

“Argh…” she cried out softly as she rubbed her left shoulder in a clockwise position. For some reason, she felt that there was something wrong, but she could not pinpoint what. It was just one of those weird feelings that one would get occasionally.

Han Ye was driving, but when he heard her cry, he glanced to the side at her. “Are you alright? Is there something wrong?”

Xiao Lei shook her head as she placed her hand back on her thigh. “Just a sharp pain…”

Han Ye glanced at her for a second before looking back at the road. He then placed a hand on her head and gently caressed it as he said, “You’re probably too tired. You’ve been filming for the last two days.”

“Are you always this handsy?” Xiao Lei asked as she looked at him. It was not that she hated it, she just hadn’t seen this side of him before.

“You call this handsy?” Han Ye chuckled as he dropped his hand from her head and took her hand instead. He then pulled it and gently kissed the back of it. “Xiao Xiao Lei, if I want to be handsy, I would do more than patting or caressing your head.”

Even without looking, he knew that Xiao Lei was probably sticking her tongue out at him defiantly or puffing her cheeks out.

“Let’s go for tea at the Imperial Hotel. Their high-tea menu is pretty good. After that, you can rest at one of the rooms until it’s time to pick Zhihao up,” Han Ye said, completely ignoring her attempts to show him her unhappy face.

“That’s not necessary,” Xiao Lei said with a slightly worried expression. “Imperial Hotel isn’t cheap.”

“It’s alright,” Han Ye said with a smile. “Your husband is quite well off, so don’t worry about it.”

Xiao Lei scoffed, “Show off! And whose husband are you? I don’t recall marrying a second man.”

“That’s not what you said when I was in you last night,” Han Ye teased as he grinned wickedly.

Xiao Lei’s face turned red as she growled, “Stop that!”

Han Ye laughed. He focused on driving for a while as he tried to think of things to tease her about. He liked to see her fl.u.s.tered face, especially when she could not do anything about it.

“Hey, once the movie is out, you might be so popular that you get an invitation for another movie. Say, Ms. Xiao, once you’re rich and famous, would you forget the lonely and small me?” Han Ye asked in a teasing tone as he placed her hand, with his on top, on his thigh.

“I don’t know, man…” Xiao Lei said with her chin raised, like a proud peac.o.c.k. “I mean, I’m still young… and you’re already an old man, and there are–OUCH!”

She shrieked and glared at Han Ye as she rubbed her sore thigh. That infuriating man had just pinched her on the thigh. “I would bite you if you are not driving!” she hissed.

“I know a place where you can bite…” Han Ye continued to tease her. When she turned red, both from anger and embarrassment, Han Ye immediately said, “Alright, alright. I’ll stop.”

He then put his hand on her thigh, where he pinched her earlier, and gently rubbed it. “It didn’t really hurt, did it?”

Xiao Lei sighed. “Just a bit of a sting. It’s fine now.”

They drove in silence for a while before Xiao Lei asked, “Is it alright, for you to openly declare our relationship just like that?”

“Can’t handle it?”

Xiao Lei sneered, “Please… I’ve escaped death multiple times. I can easily handle any problems that this might throw at me.”

“I’m sure you would,” Han Ye said. “Anyway, I don’t think that there would be many problems that would jump at you. If anything, I would be the one dealing with the problems.”

…

After Han Ye and Xiao Lei left the set, Vivian Siew and her assistant waited for Assistant Yoon to leave before they set out to do the things they planned earlier.

“Are you sure it’s clear?” Vivian Siew asked in a low voice as she glanced around. She was holding a bulging black plastic bag.

“Yeah,” her assistant said. “Everyone left, and since Xiao Lei has no more scenes today, there shouldn’t be anyone who would come over and look for her.”

“You got the keys?”

Her assistant nodded and passed Vivian Siew the key to Xiao Lei’s room. They slowly made their way to Xiao Lei’s room, and when they finally opened the door, Vivian Siew looked at her assistant and sneered, “This should have been mine. Stay out here and let me know if someone is near!”

Her assistant looked at her, but she did not say anything. She knew that her boss had met with Fan Xiyue and that she was warned, but apparently, that was not enough to make Vivian Siew behave.

In the room, Vivian Siew pulled out a man’s boxer from the plastic bag, holding it between her thumb and forefinger. She then looked around, hoping to find a place to hide it. She was going to create a scandal. Even if not everyone would believe the scandal, she was hoping to create some trouble for Xiao Lei.

“She’s going to be known as a cheater soon…” Vivian Siew giggled to herself. She had called Angela Zhang earlier, as well as sending her the video of Han Ye revealing his relationship with Xiao Lei, and as predicted, Angela Zhang was furious. Vivian Siew could swear that she heard things being thrown in the background after she told Angela Zhang about this.

After she calmed down, Angela Zhang told her to do this for now while she tried to think of something else. And if anything were to happen and Vivian Siew was implicated, Angela Zhang said she would protect her from Fan Xiyue’s wrath.

Vivian Siew looked around, and when she saw a cupboard, a light bulb lit up in her mind. She quickly went over and bent down, before throwing the boxer under the cupboard. When she got up, she lost her footing and had to use the cupboard to hold herself up.

She was going to walk out, but her shirt was snagged by a corner of the cupboard door, and when she tugged, the door was pulled open. “Argh…” Vivian Siew groaned as she closed the door. However, just as she was about to completely close it, something caught her eyes, and she reached out to pick it up.

As she looked at it, she mumbled with a curious tone, “Isn’t this… Fan Shaohang? Why would she have a photograph of Fan Shaohang and a kid? Is it his illegitimate daughter? But he’s extremely young here. Ms. Fan, maybe?”

She had so many questions, but there was not enough time for her to figure it out. She quickly took out her phone and took a photo of the picture before putting the photo frame back onto its original position.

Once she closed the cupboard door, she immediately snuck out of the room without anyone noticing.
