Chapter 315: Chapter 316: Marriage Leave

Sheng Yan spoke in a deep voice, "Where is that business card?"

He Jinxia handed it over to Sheng Yan.

Sheng Yan stared at the blood-red back of the card for a while, a thoughtful look flashing across his eyes, "Leave this matter to me, don’t think about anything."

He Jinxia frowned, wanting to say something, but at that moment Sheng Yan raised his hand and gently caressed her lips, his eyes luminous as the stars.

"Jinxia, trust me, don’t interfere with this matter, okay?"

He Jinxia choked on her words, looking at the man’s slightly worried eyes, she smiled gently, revealing a beautiful smile.

"Okay, I won’t interfere."

In fact, she couldn’t interfere even if she had wanted to.

In modern society, she was powerless, not like in ancient times when one would travel with a thousand followers. What could she do?

For her, the only option was to call the police.

Sheng Yan looked at her intently, his gaze focused as if he wanted to etch her into his heart, then suddenly said, "I should get you a bodyguard."

He Jinxia was stunned, "Hm?"

Sheng Yan said, "Otherwise, I always feel like someone will steal you away."

He Jinxia was speechless.

Sheng Yan went on to say, "How about a female bodyguard? That way she can even follow you to the restroom."

He Jinxia opened her mouth, "Wait, I—"

"Yes, that’s settled. I’ll get you a female bodyguard," Sheng Yan said firmly, very assertively.

He looked at her, unable to help but pull her into his arms, whispering into her ear, "How come you run into these kinds of situations just by changing clothes? It really worries me."

He Jinxia felt a warmth in her heart, blinked, and chuckled, "Blaming me, are you?"

Sheng Yan nibbled her earlobe and said softly, "No, it’s my fault. I wish I could just tie you close to my side."

At that moment, the door was opened with a "click," and Zhang Ming’s voice came through, "Half an hour has passed, have you finished a game yet?"

Upon opening the door, what Zhang Ming saw was He Jinxia and Sheng Yan embracing each other.

Zhang Ming was speechless.

Why was it always him who ended up being the unfortunate one!

*

He Jinxia’s skills in playing were really not high. She played three rounds with Sheng Yan, losing each one before retiring early, letting Zhang Ming play against Sheng Yan while she used other exercise equipment.

While working out, she suddenly thought of something and asked Sheng Yan to take a photo of her exercising during the break.

She specifically instructed Sheng Yan to make sure the sports watch on her wrist was clearly visible in the photo.

After the photo was taken, she sent it to Da You, asking him to process it and upload it to Weibo.

Zhang Ming saw it and clicked his tongue, his old habits as a professional agent kicking in as he muttered to Sheng Yan,

"If you put half the effort into researching endorsements that Jinxia does, would I still be worried about not getting more and better ones for you?"

Sheng Yan gave him a look and simply uttered two words: "Marriage leave."

Zhang Ming immediately shut his mouth. That’s him—ruthless!

It was He Jinxia who heard Zhang Ming’s words and curiously asked, "Maternity leave? Are you getting married?"

Zhang Ming nodded, an idea flashing through his mind, and he immediately said, "Yes, I’m getting married in October. Will you come to check it out?"

He Jinxia’s face showed a flicker of excitement, but after a careful thought, she shook her head, "You are Sheng Yan’s agent, and hold a high status within the circle, I don’t really have much to do with you or Sheng Yan, how could I go?"

Zhang Ming furrowed his eyebrows, that made sense...

At that moment, Sheng Yan spoke up, "If you want to go, you can go, the wedding is a very private affair, and there won’t be any media there."

Zhang Ming frowned slightly, though the media wouldn’t be there, many relatives from both families would attend, and dealing with those relatives could be harder than dealing with the media.

However, catching sight of Sheng Yan’s expression, he still went along and added, "Right, if you want to go, just go."

He Jinxia still shook her head, "No need, I might not be free around that time, and since you’re not inviting people from the circle, I have even less reason to go."

Zhang Ming’s lips parted as if he wanted to say something more, but He Jinxia had already stood up, patted his shoulder, and smiled, "I wish you happiness in your marriage in advance. I’ll send a gift when the time comes."

At this point, Sheng Yan said, "And pick out my gift while you’re at it."

Both of them were stunned and looked at Sheng Yan in confusion; Sheng Yan was just looking at Jinxia, and spoke slowly and carefully, "I’m not good at choosing gifts, you have a finer touch, just pick it out together."

He Jinxia just nodded when, the next second, he added, "The two of us together only need to send one gift."

He Jinxia looked at Zhang Ming, hesitant to speak, "That doesn’t seem quite right, does it?"

Sheng Yan, "There’s nothing wrong with it, we are together now, no need to make such a clear distinction."

Faced with both of them looking at him, Zhang Ming forced a smile onto his face and said generously, "That’s fine, who are you two to each other, one gift is good enough."

The bigger the smile on the face, the more the heart bleeds!

His leave for the wedding wasn’t even settled yet, and now a big gift would fly away too, why is his luck so bad recently?

Zhang Ming thought so in his mind.

"Pfft, haha..."

Perhaps Zhang Ming’s forced smile was too apparent, and his "I really want to cry but have to smile" expression was too hilarious, Jinxia couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

She glanced at Sheng Yan standing behind Zhang Ming, and couldn’t help but laugh again.

This man was really too wicked.

But... she liked it anyway~

That evening, Zhang Ming shamelessly tagged along with Sheng Yan for dinner.

As they left the club, he initially thought about leaving to give the two some space alone, and to take the chance to refresh his eyes with some new sights and fresh air.

But upon hearing that Dong Qiin and Xiao Xiuxiu would also be at the dinner, Zhang Ming shelved the idea of leaving and, without mentioning anything about leaving, smoothly tagged along.

He Jinxia sat in Sheng Yan’s car, looked at the white sedan following close behind them, which was Zhang Ming’s car.

He Jinxia’s eyes curved, asking curiously, "How has Zhang Ming offended you? I saw him today, and he looks really downcast."

Naturally, Sheng Yan wouldn’t say that because Zhang Ming had exposed his identity, he had gotten mad and dealt with him a bit.

After thinking, he said, "Last week, he kept nagging in my ear about his marriage, and he was in a particularly good mood."

He Jinxia: "And then?"

Sheng Yan: "He nagged from morning until night, and from night into the next morning, from dawn till dusk, not stopping for a single day."

He Jinxia vaguely caught on, "So?"

Sheng Yan glanced at her, his dark eyes seeming to carry a hint of grievance, his calm voice was filled with a subtle complaint.

"It’s not like I’m getting married."

So was he annoyed by the constant nagging, jealous, or yearning for something unattainable?

A thought suddenly popped up in He Jinxia’s mind.
