The King’s Enchanting
Chapter 137 - 137 141 Jealousy 1

137: Chapter 141 Jealousy (1) 137: Chapter 141 Jealousy (1) “Yu Zexiao’s assistant?” Lu Jiayuan furrowed his brows, seemingly a bit surprised, and didn’t inquire any further.

Quickly after, he saw her, the one who appeared alongside Yu Zexiao.

The glance he had just now, he didn’t dare to look closely.

He feared he wouldn’t be able to restrain himself from rushing over and pouring out the emotions of their parting.

What he hadn’t expected was that, by the sound of his voice, Yu Zexiao was the man who, in the hallway of the restaurant that day, had embraced and even chastised her—Jian Anning dared not utter a word of resistance.

Because he was on a mission, he was trying hard to present himself as amiable, wanting to make contact with Yu Zexiao.

To his surprise, Yu Zexiao was even more of a big shot than the rumors suggested.

He barely acknowledged anyone else, and the one who came out to smooth things over was instead her.

She apologized on behalf of Yu Zexiao, explained the reasons, her words watertight, her expression calm, and when she raised her head to look at him, that familiar face wore an unfamiliar indifference, a composed, all-business demeanor, as if the two of them really were strangers!

Was it really so?

He was still trapped in the past from three years ago, unable to take the next step forward.

Yet she, it seemed, no longer recognized him at all, her whole heart and soul belonging to Yu Zexiao as his, assistant?

Lu Jiayuan felt a dull pain in his heart.

At that moment, Yu Zexiao seemed to notice that Lu Jiayuan, within the crowd, had his gaze fixed on Jian Anning.

A surge of alarm struck him, and he rudely reached out, roughly pulling the little assistant behind him, obstructing Lu Jiayuan’s line of sight.

Caught off guard, Jian Anning stumbled a few steps from his tug, almost falling over, and she turned back to glare at Yu Zexiao, who didn’t care.

—But to Lu Jiayuan, it seemed like Yu Zexiao was intentionally abusing her!

He told himself that he had just come to Huaxia Country, and moreover, the main purpose of this trip was to secure Yu Zexiao for his company.

It was impossible that on the first encounter, he would offend Yu Zexiao!

Besides, although Yu Zexiao’s attitude towards his assistant was poor, behaving badly in private, acting high-and-mighty, and not integrating well with the crew, Lu Jiayuan had seen actors in Hollywood who were even more difficult to deal with and who threw their weight around even more.

Their treatment towards assistants also wasn’t very good.

He knew rationally that a big star may be very nice to an agent—since the agent handled his work and managed his life.

But towards an assistant, they were basically treated like servants.

If in a good mood, they might be treated a little better.

In a bad mood, it wasn’t uncommon to see them either hit or scolded.

However, the object of his anger was Jian Anning, and this made him unhappy!

If he had wronged her in the past, and fate had now brought her back into his life, then from now on, he would treat her doubly well!

He wouldn’t let her be sad again, nor would he let her suffer any hardship!

He sought her forgiveness, and he would vow to treat her well for a lifetime!

Thus, Lu Jiayuan slightly lifted the corners of his mouth, a seemingly pure smile as he fixed his gaze on Yu Zexiao, “I didn’t expect us to meet again.

Didn’t I hear that you were going to listen to Professor Wang’s guidance?”

With one sentence, he pierced through Yu Zexiao’s lie!

Even though Lu Jiayuan’s face bore a smile, even though his tone contained not a hint of sharpness when he spoke those words, it still gave off an uncomfortable feeling.

Yu Zexiao’s chin lifted, his handsome brows slightly knitting.

Who was this person, and why should he have a say over me?
