Chapter 823: Chapter 664: Second Update

"Wow! SuYan is so beautiful and accomplished, your fiancé must be very outstanding too?!"

"That’s why, when you mention him, your eyes light up."

Seeing Jin SuYan openly reveal on the show that she is engaged and together with her dad lavish praises on her fiancé, many guests guessed that someone who could make Jin SuYan so proud, marrying at the peak of her career, must be quite remarkable.

"He’s okay," Jin SuYan said casually, "What I admire about him is that he’s not only gentle with me but also a very strong person."

"For example?"

"For example, when I’m exhausted from filming night scenes, the set is very desolate, but when he arrives, I feel so warm and cozy. His own career is very busy, but whenever I need him, he drops everything to fly over to be with me, prioritizing me. What moves me most is that he says that even after we’re married, I can do what I want to the fullest, and he’s willing to use his strength to help me realize my life’s value."

"I never thought Xu Wei would be so earnest in a relationship." Off camera, Ning Youguang couldn’t help but sigh upon hearing this.

Unexpectedly, Shi Wangyue, who had been watching TV idly beside him, suddenly became alert, "Xu Wei?"

He frowned slightly.

Ning Youguang, still focused on the screen in front, completely missed Shi Wangyue’s changed expression, only hearing his puzzled voice, "Yeah, Jin SuYan’s fiancé is Xu Wei."

Shi Wangyue’s eyes gradually darkened, "The eldest from the Xu family? The Xu Wei from our high school grade?"

"Yes."

"Are you still in contact?"

"We are," Ning Youguang, seeing Shi Wangyue seemed interested in Xu Wei, turned to explain, "Remember when I went back home around New Year’s? My aunt had a charity event at her art gallery, so I went with my cousin FeiFei and happened to meet Xu Wei. We chatted a bit and found out he’s involved in some public welfare projects in art education. He wanted me to introduce him to some experts in that field, so I helped him meet someone."

"So that’s how you stayed in touch?" Shi Wangyue asked without showing emotions.

"Yeah," Ning Youguang said, "We added each other on WeChat, and occasionally I see some of his updates. Sometimes during holidays, he sends me a greeting message."

It was because Ning Youguang saw Xu Wei’s recent post that she learned Jin SuYan’s fiancé is Xu Wei and even liked it at the time.

Shi Wangyue gritted his teeth, "Anything else?"

"That’s all," Ning Youguang couldn’t understand why his face suddenly changed, "Why are you unhappy all of a sudden?"

"Why do you think?" Shi Wangyue continued to grit his teeth, "That Xu Wei, he’s like a ghost that won’t go away and clearly has ulterior motives."

"What makes you think he has ulterior motives?" Ning Youguang asked in surprise, "Why are you saying that?"

"He pursued you in high school," Shi Wangyue’s voice deepened, displeasure flickering in his eyes, "You rarely return to Jingcheng, and yet, coincidentally, he’s there too and even somehow got your WeChat, asking you to introduce scholars. Does the Xu family lack connections? I think he just wanted an excuse to ask for your WeChat."

Ning Youguang suddenly felt that Shi Wangyue had a point, but—

"Do you think I’m some kind of treasure that someone would pine over for more than ten years? He may have pursued me in the past, but that doesn’t mean he still likes me now, right? He has a girlfriend, see—" she laughed and glanced at the TV, "His girlfriend is fair-skinned, beautiful, tall, and famous, a big star. Such an excellent girlfriend, ah, no, fiancée. They’re engaged now. He and his fiancée have a stable relationship for years. Adding me on WeChat was probably just to genuinely seek my help with introductions, no other intentions."

Shi Wangyue looked deeply at Ning Youguang, speaking word by word, "I trust a man’s instincts."

Ning Youguang looked at the cold sharpness in Shi Wangyue’s eyes and was torn between laughing and crying, "What’s all this nonsense? So many years have passed, Xu Wei is no longer the seventeen-year-old Xu Wei, right? He can’t possibly like me now, maybe he even dislikes someone like me a lot. You’re being unreasonable, Mr. Shi."

"It’s not unreasonable," Shi Wangyue said coldly, "He’s crossed the line."

"Huh?" Ning Youguang was puzzled, "How is he crossing the line? We just talked a bit about work, that’s basically it."

While she spoke, she reached over to pick up her phone and handed it to Shi Wangyue, "Look if you don’t believe me."

Shi Wangyue took Ning Youguang’s phone and placed it aside, "I trust you, but not him."

"I’m so sad, sister."

As he spoke, his face showed a pitiful expression again, "Why did you wait until now to tell me you were in touch with Xu Wei? I didn’t know at all."

After speaking, he pulled Ning Youguang into his arms, "I feel such a pain in my heart, I’m jealous."

He sounded extremely sorrowful.

Ning Youguang listened, amused and exasperated, struggling to get out of Shi Wangyue’s arms, "Director Shi, interested in making a cameo in my dad’s crew?"

Shi Wangyue held Ning Youguang tightly in his arms, but his words were soft and whiny, "You’re laughing at me, you have no idea how upset I am."

Ning Youguang continued speechless, realizing she couldn’t escape Shi Wangyue’s embrace, decided not to struggle.

Instead, she feigned hardship, "Darling, I feel so bad too, can’t breathe, heart aching."

Shi Wangyue’s heart instantly softened.

He slowly released his embrace, then stared intently into Ning Youguang’s clear eyes, eyes filled with deep affection and fascination.

Then, he gently brushed Ning Youguang’s face with his hand and called in a low voice, "Baby..."

He said, "It’s because I know just how precious you are, that I’m certain Xu Wei has ulterior motives. Comparing Jin SuYan to you, she’s nothing. If Xu Wei had any sense, he couldn’t have deeply loved you and then fall for her."

After sighing deeply, he continued, "Actually, I shouldn’t be the one telling you this. Xu Wei was once my rival in love. I’d love for you to see him as someone deeply in love with other women, but since you’re in contact, I have to make you cautious. I love you, want to respect you, but also want you to know, I very much, very much dislike him having ulterior motives towards you."1314
