The King’s Enchanting
Chapter 139 - 139 143 Jealousy 3

139: Chapter 143 Jealousy (3) 139: Chapter 143 Jealousy (3) His expression briefly darkened, and he had just taken a step when Director Li next to him glanced in his direction.

He immediately returned to his normal state.

Right, on what grounds could he come to Jian Anning’s rescue?

The second male lead in the crew?

Her senior from university, or…

her former ambiguous interest?

Who later became her sister’s boyfriend?

He had neither the right nor the ability.

Even though he hated to admit it, he knew that although his status in the crew was relatively significant, compared to Yu Zexiao, he was nothing!

His status as an American drama actor wouldn’t shake Yu Zexiao.

His wealth, his position in the entertainment circle, also paled in comparison to Yu Zexiao!

Even if Yu Zexiao was really treating Jian Anning poorly, as long as she didn’t speak up, he couldn’t help her!

But no, he couldn’t just stand by and watch Jian Anning being scolded by him.

He had to find a way…

Director Li, who was next to him, watched as the broad smile on Lu Jiayuan’s face gradually faded, and a scheming look seemed to flash in his eyes.

He merely smiled, pretended to be drunk, and staggered away with a group of people.

Lu Jiayuan was his guest, acting as the second male lead, which had initially puzzled him.

But after viewing the rushes in the morning, he was quite satisfied.

In Huaxia Country, his fame couldn’t match Liu Sicheng’s.

However, he was one of the main actors in a globally popular American drama series!

This series was widely known among the young people of Huaxia.

Add to that the blind trust that people had in American drama actors—perhaps him taking over for Liu Sicheng was the best choice!

As for his disaccord with Yu Zexiao…

What did that have to do with him?

He’d struggled in the entertainment industry for many years and understood these behind-the-scenes rumors better than anyone else.

In fact, if the leading actors clashed, with proper packaging, it could be a headline-worthy news story.

As long as these two could work well together…

he’d be happy to see it happen!

He was the director; his only concern was how his film turned out.

Nevertheless, he still asked with “concern”, “Jiayuan, where are you staying?”

At that moment, Lu Jiayuan had already adjusted his mood, “Me?

I’m just going with the flow.”

Yu Zexiao and Jiang Xuanqi, the two leads, were staying in the only five-star hotel nearby.

Even though all the luxury suites were fully booked, it was clear that he would still choose to stay there.

Initially, it was to get closer to Yu Zexiao, to understand him better.

But now…

he had one more reason to go there.

Lu Jiayuan thought this, his gaze resting on Jian Anning, who was walking away into the distance.

Beside the nanny van.

“Hey, what do you want to let me go!

Zexiao!

Yu Zexiao!” Jian Anning had been dragged by him from the elevator to the parking spot and finally couldn’t bear it any longer and shouted out.

Yu Zexiao ignored her, only when they reached the car did he abruptly yank the door open, tossed her inside, and then climbed in himself, sitting beside her.

The driver had been waiting inside all along, Yu Zexiao did not even lift his head, just coldly said, “Drive!”
