Chapter 6: Chapter 6

Xia Wei was stunned.

In her previous life, because she was almost kidnapped by criminals when she was young, her parents sent her to learn martial arts. When she started filming later on, she learned swordsmanship and horse riding. Even when she was filming in the cold winter water, she never needed a substitute. Because of this, she was hailed as the last ‘female warrior’ in the entertainment industry. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Her manager became worried about her because of this many times.

Xia Wei didn’t expect Jian Tan to ask her this. “Uh… I learned some martial arts skills when I was young.”

As Jian Tan stared at Xia Wei thoughtfully, Xia Wei felt a little uncomfortable.

She hurriedly said, “Don’t talk about me. What are you going to do in the future? Will that group of people look for you again?

Jian Tan pursed her lips and replied after some deliberation, “I don’t know, but don’t worry. I’ll get someone to protect me.”

After saying that, he looked up and smiled at Xia Wei.

Xia Wei was mesmerized by this smile. This man was too handsome.

She couldn’t help but stutter. “That’s good.”

Seeing that the man was still staring at her without moving, Xia Wei scratched her head. “Well… since you’re fine, I’ll leave now,” As she spoke, she pointed at the road behind her.

When Jian Tan saw that the girl in front of him was at a loss, he couldn’t help but smile. “Alright, be careful on the way back. Thank you for your help today.”

He stood on the spot as he watched the girl leave.

However, she had only taken two steps when she turned back and stood in front of him again.

Xia Wei clenched her fists and placed them by her lips. Then, she coughed lightly and her face flushed as she said, “If you don’t mind, you can add my phone number. If you need any help in the future, you can call me directly… But don’t misunderstand! I’m not asking for your cell phone number because of your looks or anything! I’m just afraid that you’ll be bullied again.”

Jian Tan looked at the girl who was explaining to him seriously with her head lowered. The tips of her ears were flushed, as if she really wanted to prove that she was just afraid that he would be bullied.

Jian Tan couldn’t help but laugh. Xia Wei was quite different from what the rumors said she was like.

When Xia Wei’s explanation was interrupted by laughter, her face turned even redder and she looked up at Jian Tan in surprise.

This was the first time she had asked someone for his phone number! Was he mocking her for asking for his phone number just now?

Although she was indeed lusting after his looks, her original intention was only to save this pitiful handsome man!

“I’ll get going first!” Xia Wei couldn’t help but feel angry. She had just taken two steps when she felt someone tugging at her sleeve.

She turned around and looked at him in confusion.

Jian Tan bent down and picked up the pineapple bun on the ground. “Sorry, your bread… was stepped on. I’ll compensate you.”

Xia Wei was stunned. “No need… it’s just a pineapple bun.”

“I’ll compensate you.” Jian Tan said stubbornly, “The next time we meet.”

Xia Wei was speechless. Without each other’s phone number, the chance of meeting each other again in such a big city was even lower than the possibility of a comet hitting Earth.

Although she thought so deep down, she smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll wait for your pineapple bun.”

With that, she turned around and left.

Jian Tan was a little stunned as she watched the girl’s back disappear into the distance. She looked… as if she really didn’t know him.

At this moment, a black van stopped by the roadside. After the door slowly opened, the person inside hurriedly rushed out. “Brother Tan, are you okay? Ah Qing said that a terrifying girl was here just now. Are you injured?!”

Wu Fan came to Jian Tan’s side and examined his body.

Jian Tan looked at him helplessly. “Don’t talk nonsense.” As he spoke, he bent down and entered the huge van.

Wu Fan followed behind anxiously.

Who was Jian Tan? He was handsome, talented, and intelligent. At the age of 25, he had won all kinds of Best Actor awards domestically and abroad. His fans called him the “Eternal Emperor” and had never had any scandals with any female celebrities. Coupled with his drop-dead gorgeous looks, he was called the most sacred and unattainable man in the entertainment industry.

Wu Fan felt that he must have hit the jackpot to become the manager of this man.

Thus, his concern for Jian Tan even exceeded his concern for himself.

“Brother Tan, don’t work too hard. Filming the scenes is tiring, since you have to be beaten and stepped on. Let’s let the substitute film it. The director is really too outrageous. Why did he promise you again and again…” Wu Fan muttered all the way in the car.

Jian Tan closed his eyes and didn’t speak.

After the car stopped at a traffic light, Wu Fan was still muttering.

Jian Tan suddenly interrupted, “Previously, didn’t Director Zhao ask me to film that dating variety show called [Heartthrob TA]? Help me accept it.”

“Alright, alright.” Wu Fan only realized that something was wrong after agreeing.
