Chapter 172: Chapter 176: Private Space (4)

Amid her confusion, Jian Anning had already pushed through the crowd and walked outside. Yu Zexiao became anxious immediately and, without a word, stretched out his long legs and grabbed her arm, his voice tinged with anger, "Jian Anning, where do you think you’re going!"

Unexpectedly, Jian Anning just sneered and shook off his arm, "Yu Zexiao, you are a bright and shining star, and I am just a lowly assistant. This temple is too small for a Buddha like you! Anyway, we’ve been together for two months, arguing non-stop. Since we find each other so disagreeable, it’s better for me to resign earlier and give you some peace!"

These words shocked everyone present! Especially Yu Zexiao, who was still holding Jian Anning’s arm. Hearing her words, he seemed completely stunned, as if he hadn’t at all anticipated that she would choose to resign at this moment!

"What, what did you say? Say it again!"

Yu Zexiao was frantic, his voice even a bit shrill!

This was the first woman, no matter what, who wanted to leave his side!

He simply couldn’t believe it! Clearly, clearly it was she who had done wrong first; if it weren’t for her hiding the fact that she knew Lu Jiayuan, would he have gotten angry? Would he have had no desire to record, only wanting to hear her explanation?

But Jian Anning once again shook off his arm and said with an indifferent expression, "Yes, I admit I am not competent enough and lack the ability to continue being your assistant! I will submit my resignation to the company!"

"You!—" Yu Zexiao, hearing her voice, felt blood rush to his forehead, almost exploding with anger!

Just at that moment, the program staff who had been prepared, including the on-site director, the host, assistants, and the drama crew members, including Jiang Xuanqi and Lu Jiayuan, all came over to check if he "was ready yet." Yu Zexiao, upon seeing Lu Jiayuan, felt his anger rise suddenly! However, even in his fury, he didn’t forget to command his bodyguards, "Keep an eye on her! If I come back from recording and she’s not here, you can all stop working!"

The bodyguards were startled by his words! But, meeting Yu Zexiao’s extremely angry gaze, they immediately nodded! The four bodyguards positioned themselves in four directions, surrounding Jian Anning, "Assistant Jian, please go back inside!"

Jian Anning also saw that almost all the staff members had gathered at the door. She frowned slightly, knowing that making a scene here would be bad for her as well as for Yu Zexiao. So, she compliantly walked back inside, but her compliance at this moment didn’t mean she would change her mind! She thought for a moment and ultimately decided to call Yin Maohui on his cell phone.

Outside the door, Yu Zexiao watched as the bodyguards "escorted" Jian Anning back and finally let out a sigh of relief. Turning around, he met Lu Jiayuan’s mocking gaze, who was smiling nonchalantly, "Yo, Zexiao, what’s wrong?"

"It’s none of your business!" Yu Zexiao’s eyes darkened, and he managed to regain his composure with difficulty. The staff of the program exchanged glances; oh boy, it seemed the leading man and the second male lead of the drama didn’t get along too well!

The host, accustomed to making light of things, immediately came over to ease the tension, "Zexiao, long time no see, still as handsome! Come on now, let’s not waste time. Let’s head to the set and get ready to start recording!"
