Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

Chapter 456: Do You Really Like Xie Mingxuan That Much?

Chi Shuyan ate dinner outside before returning to the apartment. It was almost 7pm now, and it was still early. She had originally planned to go and take a look at the spirit herbs she was cultivating in the Spirit Gathering Array. If she had time, she could also refine pills. However, when she went back, she saw a pair of men’s leather shoes at the entrance of the apartment. The lights inside were on.

The man who had been working overtime for the past few days had come back so early tonight?

Chi Shuyan went in and saw the man radiating a strong aura from where he was sitting expressionlessly on the sofa. The bright light shone on his face, making his perfect side profile look a little fierce. His eyebrows were as sharp and restrained as always. That clear gaze gave him an even more intimidating look, making people tremble in fear.

Chi Shuyan met the man’s gaze. She hadn’t done anything wrong, yet she still felt a little guilty and uncertain.

She quickly greeted him. “You’re back so early?”

“You don’t want me to come back so early?” The man narrowed his eyes dangerously, his tone inexplicably tinged with anger.

When did she say that? How had this man been provoked?

Without waiting for Chi Shuyan to speak, Qi Zhenbai pursed his lips and said, “How has it been on Director Li’s set these days?”

When Qi Zhenbai said this, his gaze was fixed on the woman in front of him. Chi Shuyan didn’t think much of it and nodded. “It’s alright! It’s nothing special!”

It was indeed nothing special. It had been a little interesting to watch people act at the beginning, but after a few days of the same thing, what could be interesting about it? She herself wasn’t interested in acting either.

“Do you really like Xie Mingxuan that much?” The man’s tone was still calm, but it was sharper than before.

This time, Chi Shuyan really could hear something in his words; it sounded like this man was very jealous. Could this man really be jealous of Xie Mingxuan?

Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but size up the man in front of her seriously. However, his emotions were too restrained, so she really couldn’t tell anything at the moment. She probed, “I do quite like him!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the man’s originally relaxed eyebrows knitted together with a hint of hostility. He said coldly, “You’re not allowed to go to the set tomorrow! If you really like him, Qi Corporation can just give him a few endorsement contracts! However, you’re not allowed to go to the set again when Xie Mingxuan is filming in the future!” His last sentence was filled with icicles and said through gritted teeth.

Chi Shuyan finally confirmed that this man really was jealous of Xie Mingxuan. She suppressed a laugh in her heart. All her earlier uncertainty was swept away. She took the initiative to sit beside the man and hold his hand. “Are you really jealous of Xie Mingxuan?”

The man denied it with a stiff face. “You’re thinking too much!”

Ignoring that, Chi Shuyan explained, “Although I’m a fan of Xie Mingxuan, that was a long time ago, when I was young and immature. Coupled with his good character, I think he’s quite pleasing to the eye. I saw that he was in some trouble recently. Since we met by chance, I just helped him out in passing. Of course, this isn’t entirely about Xie Mingxuan. I’m actually more interested in that Movie Queen Zhou, who keeps trying to get on your good side!”

Hearing his wife’s words, Qi Zhenbai heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Although he trusted his wife, she had been going to the film set to look for that man surnamed Xie too often these few days. Thinking back, his wife had never been that attentive to him, even until now.

Qi Zhenbai had gotten the news that his wife had been going to the set frequently these last few days. He had been extremely frustrated and depressed. He still remembered clearly how she had held the other party’s hand for a few seconds more than usual. However, he had been determined not to admit that he was jealous. At that moment, his expression softened a lot. He hugged her close on his lap and said in an indulgent tone, “I’ll get Assistant Zhu to cancel the endorsement deal between Qi Corporation and Zhou Manqing tomorrow!”
