Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When they arrived at Wanhao Restaurant’s private room, Hua Xuanhe ordered a meal. Seeing that Shi Xi was still nonchalant, he asked, “1 brought you out to make you happy. Why are you so absent-minded?”

“I just feel a little lost.” Shi Xi supported her chin with one hand, her eyes beautiful and ignorant under her long eyelashes. “Xie Yunzhou has taken over the Xie Corporation. There will only be more and more women around him in the future.”

“Huh?” Hua Xuanhe asked.

“Should 1 stop the losses in time?” Shi Xi asked in distress.

“You’re more beautiful and outstanding than them, and Xie Yunzhou still likes you.” Hua Xuanhe laughed. “Why are you so unconfident in yourself?”

“It’s not that I’m not confident. 1 just don’t want to waste my time on this.” Shi Xi had read some novels and acted in many dramas. The emotional entanglements in them made Shi Xi avoid them.

Emotion was a very precious treasure.

It could only be used on people who were worth it.

Hua Xuanhe looked at the message that popped up on his phone screen. “I’m going to the washroom.”

“En.” Shi Xi nodded.

The meal had not been served yet. Shi Xi thought about the matter with Xie Yunzhou and felt conflicted.

After a while, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside.

Shi Xi thought that Hua Xuanhe had returned.

But when she looked up, she saw Xie Yunzhou.

Xie Yunzhou pushed the door open and sat opposite her.

Shi Xi was slightly surprised. “Why are you here?”

“I asked Hua Xuanhe.” Xie Yunzhou knew that he was not mistaken at the banquet. He explained, “At the banquet, Yan Linlang wanted to work with me, but I rejected her.”

Although he did not know if Shi Xi was angry because of this matter…

However, he had to explain first.

Shi Xi was slightly taken aback. Then, she smiled and said, “I didn’t leave because I was jealous. If you want to work with her on a project, you don’t have to care about what I think. After all, there are so many people in the Xie family who still have to work.”

“I never wanted to work with her in the first place.” Xie Yunzhou’s voice softened. “I’ve already rejected her.”

“It’s not because of her. It’s because you’ll meet many outstanding people around you in the future.” Shi Xi’s long eyelashes drooped slightly, hiding all the emotions in her eyes.

The lights in the private room were dim, and the candles on the table flickered.

“Are you feeling insecure?” Xie Yunzhou asked after a moment of silence.

Shi Xi thought about it. “Probably.”

Even though there were so many people who doted on her and loved her, Shi Xi still felt that she was alone.

No one had ever truly approached her heart.

Someone she could rely on without worry…

She could only rely on herself.

“Actually, I’ve always been afraid,” Xie Yunzhou said slowly.

Shi Xi was puzzled.

Xie Yunzhou chuckled. “You’re in the entertainment industry, so you can come into contact with different people and all kinds of things.”

Shi Xi nodded.

The chaos in the entertainment industry was dozens of times more chaotic than what was described on the internet.

A variety show script, a predetermined debut spot, and a big shot…

These were all small matters.

Even if the role was replaced, cheated of money, r*ped, and cheated into signing a contract…

These were all common things.

Gather in private. Money, gather people to commit adultery. Chaos, all kinds of messy drinking games.

This was also one of the reasons why Shi Xi did not want to participate in a big production.

The relationship between them was complicated, and she did not want to take the risk.

A gentleman did not stand under a dangerous wall.

There were so many scripts. Why would she sell herself for a role?

But so what?

Shi Xi looked at Xie Yunzhou.

“Don’t you think I’m worried that you’ll fall in love with someone else?” asked Xie Yunzhou.

After all, there were so many men in the entertainment industry.

“Why are you worried about this?” Shi Xi was puzzled.. “You’re much better than them, alright!”
