“So the reason why you kept dragging me and not letting me go was because you wanted to wait for Jian Tan?” Xia Wei narrowed her eyes and looked at Huo Feng dangerously.

Huo Feng, who instinctively felt that the situation in the car was very bad, was speechless.

“Erm… Great Beauty, listen to my excuses. This idea was all Jian Tan’s idea! I just told him that you would come, and he asked me to think of a way to keep you. The western restaurant in Li Wan that I mentioned just now was actually booked by Jian Tan! I’ve wanted to eat their food for a long time. Today, I’ve benefited from you, hehe…”

Xia Wei did not want to pay attention to the glib-tongued Huo Feng at first, but after hearing this explanation, she looked up at Jian Tan in confusion. After thinking for a while, she asked, “You said that you came from the airport just now. Where did you come back from? You don’t look right either. Are you sick or tired?”

Ever since Jian Tan saw Xia Wei, his gaze had been on her. Hence, he did not miss the trace of confusion that flashed across the other party’s eyes a second ago. “The flight back from City T was delayed by half an hour. There was also a traffic jam on the way, but I was lucky enough to ‘stop’ you at the hospital.”

As he spoke, he looked at Xia Wei and smiled gently and slightly wickedly. He said bluntly, “Yes, I’m in a hurry to meet you…” 1 missed you the moment I returned to City A.

Jian Tan did not continue speaking because there were others in the car after all. He was worried that Xia Wei would be shy and want to escape again.

“I’m not sick. I’m probably just a little tired. Thank you for caring about me,” he continued with a smile.

The atmosphere in the car became a little ambiguous. Huo Feng smiled and looked at the two people in front of him without saying anything. He could finally understand the sweet atmosphere the audience of [Heartthrob TA] felt when they witnessed the two artists they liked being in the same frame!

At the end of Jian Tan’s sentence, Huo Feng seemed to see some kind of pink bubbles rising in the car.

It’s too sweet! These two are too compatible! They’re just sitting together, but they’re both in idol dramas! Young Master Huo didn’t show it on his face, but he was already crazy with excitement.

Compared to talking to the great beauty himself, he seemed to like the scene of Xia Wei and Jian Tan together more.

Xia Wei did not know what Huo Feng was thinking, but she felt the same excitement as him.

She muttered in her heart that this man was indeed lethal. Xia Wei’s intuition told her that she had indeed been seduced by Jian Tan. She suppressed the unusual trajectory of her heart and glanced at Jian Tan a few times before muttering, “You’re welcome. Actually, you don’t have to be so anxious. I have free time tomorrow. Isn’t it very simple to arrange a meal together!”

Looking at Xia Wei’s inexplicably guilty response, Jian Tan only felt that it was abnormally cute. However, after thinking about it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He turned to look at Xia Wei and asked gently, “Shouldn’t your production team be rushing to catch up recently? Why do you have a break?”

Before she could realize what was wrong with Jian Tan’s words, Xia Wei seemed to think that Jian Tan was omniscient. She thought of the call she received from Director Xu in the hospital just now and replied helplessly and worriedly, “Director Xu has terminated his contract with Lu Man. He hasn’t found a male lead yet. The weather for the next few days isn’t good, so Director Xu gave me a break and let me report back to the production team on the weekend night.”

Xia Wei explained the reason for her break in a few words. When she looked up at Jian Tan opposite her again, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

She frowned and continued to ask, “How do you know that we’re rushing? No matter how well-connected you are, it’s impossible for you to have acquaintances in every production team, right?”

Jian Tan had an intuition that it was not appropriate to ask so directly after asking just now. However, he was confused when he saw Xia Wei. He did not notice a flaw and felt that it should not be a problem. However, he still underestimated Xia Wei’s intelligence and sharpness.

He retracted his gaze guiltily. He clenched his fists and coughed to cover up, as if this could hide the fact that he secretly cared about Xia Wei.

Seeing Jian Tan’s reaction, how could Xia Wei not guess the reason? She sighed with mixed feelings and looked at Jian Tan without saying anything for a long time..
