Chapter 498: Chapter 504: Guarding the Heart (2)

Yu Zexiao’s heart clogged up upon hearing her speak like that, especially when he saw the icy look in her eyes. A mix of indescribable sourness, anger, and pain created an intense atmosphere, making him want to tear apart her indifferent expression and cold eyes, so that in her heart and eyes, just like before, his reflection would be the only thing filling them!

He didn’t care about the gazes of the many people in the crew! He was indifferent to Situ Xuan’s watching him like a tiger eyeing its prey! However, Jian Anning’s indifference, as if she wanted to sever ties with him as soon as possible, deeply wounded him! He suddenly let go of her hand and, without another word, walked toward the makeup room!

"Zexiao, Zexiao!" Behind him, the director Li and other crew members called out to him, but he didn’t respond. When he looked at Jian Anning again, she said nothing, didn’t answer, but with Situ Xuan there guarding her, no one dared to have Anning go and persuade Yu Zexiao to come back in front of Situ Xuan.

-------------------------------

Yu Zexiao remained angry until the shooting ended that day. When it was over, he didn’t even wait for Jian Anning to get in the car and left first in the nanny van.

Jian Anning followed, watching the car disappear into the distance, only stirring up a slight trail of dust, akin to the layer of grey that seemed to settle on her heart, difficult to sweep away.

"Anning, why are you here alone?" Situ Xuan feigned ignorance as he looked at the departing van of Yu Zexiao, "He left you here by yourself?"

Jian Anning pinched the bridge of her nose and didn’t speak. Situ Xuan smiled lightly, "Shall I take you home? It’s not easy to hail a taxi here by yourself."

"No need, thank you," she politely declined.

She had thought that if she didn’t accept, even after she repeatedly told Situ Xuan that she wasn’t considering romance for now, he would step back obediently.

At least, until she had cleared her head.

To be honest—back on the set, she did appreciate Situ Xuan speaking up for her, but she could sense that Situ Xuan was deliberately provoking Yu Zexiao, causing him to rage in front of so many people!

Yu Zexiao was an emotional person. Generally, as long as things went his way, he wouldn’t get angry. But once someone intentionally provoked him, he would undoubtedly ignite!

Although she didn’t want to appease Yu Zexiao at the moment, she could still feel the strong hostility from Situ Xuan!

Situ Xuan naturally sensed Jian Anning’s alienation too. With his intelligence, he could guess that it was because of today, his head-on confrontation with Yu Zexiao in front of so many people on the set, and the provocation that caused Yu Zexiao to angrily leave, which severely delayed the subsequent scenes. No one in the crew dared to offend Yu Zexiao, but habitually, they would put the blame on Jian Anning.

Why? Because she was Yu Zexiao’s assistant? Because Yu Zexiao and Situ Xuan had fought because of her?

With Situ Xuan protecting her, nobody dared to trouble her directly, yet she could still feel the odd looks, and it didn’t escape her notice.

Of course, she wouldn’t blame Situ Xuan for trying to help her; she just... truly felt that since she and Situ Xuan weren’t a couple, his public declarations made it seem as though the entire crew knew they were
