Li Yan knew that Bai Xue had maliciously framed Jiang Lingâer, but she was still trying to put the blame on his assistant and Yue Ling. âYou clearly hate Lingâer, but youâre saying you want to be friends with her?â
Looking at the pitiful Bai Xue, Li Yanâs heart was in disarray. âAre you still the pure and kind girl 1 know? Or was I actually blind all this time, and this is your true self?â
Li Yan said, âSince Jiang Lingâer doesnât want to be friends with you, donât force it.â
Bai Xue walked toward Li Yan and hugged his arm. âBut if we have a good relationship with Lingâer, perhaps both the Li family and Jiang family can form a closer bond.â
Li Yan felt so conflicted. Bai Xue seemed like a sensible girl, but she was doing dirty deeds behind his back. He thought, âSheâs like a walking contradiction.â
Li Yan didnât react to her intimate actions at all. âYou really donât need to stoop so low.â
Bai Xue looked at Li Yan and said, âLi Yan, Iâm willing to do anything for you. Just wait and see. One day, Lingâer will be my friend.â
Li Yanâs eyes flashed with suspicion. âYou keep saying that you want to be friends with Jiang Lingâer for the sake of me and the Li family, but you secretly slandered her. How two-faced can you get? Are you still the Bai Xue 1 know?â
Li Yan pretended to be sincere as he said, â1 know that you hate Jiang Lingâer, and I donât want you to do anything you donât like. I just want you to be happy.â
Li Yanâs words made Bai Xue restless and happy at the same time.
She said, âItâs not that I hate Lingâer. Sheâs the one who dislikes me, so she often goes against me. Iâm also not forcing myself. 1 just want put in effort so that Grandpa will support our relationship.â
If it was before, Li Yan would have argued that the he was the one Bai Xue was marrying not the Li family, so there was no need to get their approval. Now, however, Li Yan couldnât bring himself to say such words.
Li Yan could only smile helplessly while glancing at Bai Xueâs cute and obedient appearance. âDo you really think that just because you wonât admit it, no one will know?â
Bai Xue put on a pitiful expression and said, âLi Yan⦠Iâve been filming for more than half a month with Director Wang. Wonât all my efforts be in vain now that he wants to replace me? Can you help me?â
âOf course, she needs something.â Li Yan smiled and said, âYou donât need to worry about it. Wang Wei doesnât have the guts.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Li Yan had invested a lot money in this drama to ensure that Bai Xue would be the female lead. How could the director replace her so easily?
Bai Xue showed a happy expression and gently kissed Li Yan. She said shyly, âIâm relieved. Iâve put in so much effort for this drama, so if 1 get replaced, 1â11 probably be depressed for a long time.â
In the past, even a simple hug would have made Li Yan unable to resist, let alone if she teased him like this. He would have already kissed her passionately and pushed her down. Now, however, he was just not in the mood for anything.
Bai Xue was confused. âHeâs not reacting at all? Is there something wrong?â
Li Yan said, âJust be good and do your best. Is there anything else? I have to attend a meeting later.â
Bai Xue hugged Li Yanâs neck and kissed him lightly before hurriedly taking a few steps back, as if she was worried that he would pounce on her. This method always worked on him. Whenever she used this in past, he would always eagerly seek her out. Unfortunately, her expectations didnât come trueâLi Yan neither hugged her nor pounced on her.
Bai Xue was extremely embarrassed. âLi Yan, if you have something to do, then go ahead. But can I wait for you here? Itâs almost lunchtime, so Iâm hoping that we can have lunch together.â
Li Yan was unwilling to stay with her. He said, âYouâve had a rough day. Instead of stressing yourself out, why donât you take a walk? Maybe you can go shopping to ease your mind.â
Bai Xue pretended to hesitate, but she was secretly excited. âBut 1 still want to stay here with you..â
