Chapter 196: Ye Xinya (38)


    Three dayster.


    Jiang Li remembered once that Ye Xinya had encountered the female at a restaurant. Back then he noticed from afar that thetter was throwing the viiness a not so friendly stare. Why so? Wasn''t the plot finished five or four years ago? The attitude Ren Lian disyed when they were at the night market was not very nice too. He saw displeasure, or maybe hate... but then again, why?


    Once Jiang Li asked Ye Xinya and she replied how would she know why a woman she was hardly acquainted with was suddenly jealous or hostile to her?


    When he thought about it, the only thing that came to mind was that there had been a change of plot, the viiness was hated by the female lead for being superior and having a blood connection to Ye Jing, a mere sidekick of the old corrupt dude who caused her parents'' death. Apart from this, there should be more interaction between the two.


    Forced. If this was truly the case, then he would have no other opinion other than the reason for the hate being forced.


    "Miss, can you tell us now our future in this lifetime?"


    "Sure. The usual small dramas with those disgustingly lucky people. But no morerge dramas because you two are basically free from the main plot."


    Remembering this part of his conversation with the witch, Jiang Li frowned. He was lost in thoughts when somebody knocked on his door.


    "Hey, I found the watch I''ve gifted to youst year!" A melodious voice rang from the doorway of his room.


    While he was busy checking himself out in the mirror, fixing his navy blue tie, the girl walked popped up behind him, mumbling in aining tone, "Do you know how much trouble I went through to search for this one under the many boxes of things in the living room? Tomorrow, let''s not go anywhere but clean up the house!"


    While Ye Xinya went in front and slipped the dress watch on his left wrist, he took notice of her attire and said, "You look okay. But something''s off. As if you''re going on a funeral."


    Ye Xinya harrumphed, then crossed her arm and turned her little head away. "Well... I don''t like the celebrant and his girlfriend."


    "Well... We can hate and like whoever. But what happened to your professionalism and maturity? Are you having a fever? Being delirious? I would hate to bring you to the hospital for a check-up."


    Ye Xinya was not offended by his strangely asked questions since she was used to it. Also, the man did not mean anything bad. Instead of making a fuss over what he said, she scrunched up her nose toin.


    "Hey, why did your father suddenly feel like dragging us into that birthday celebration? And there''s a more pressing question here. Why is somebody as old as that Han Corporation''s CEO still celebrating birthdays? When I became of legal age, I only had a debut then after that, no more celebrations as grand and childish as that! You too only had youring of age ceremony because you''re Mr. CEO''s foster son. But him? A grown man needed a normal birthday party? Does he n to do that every year?"


    At times, people would just find things to nitpick on those they don''t like, even if in the process of doing so, they would appear childish or unreasonable.


    Ye Xinya, at that time,ughed like a real viiness, throwing her head back and clutching her t stomach. Take note that she was wearing all ck, fitting long dress that had a wavy tail and a veil with a small hat on the left part of her long flowing hair, high heels that had a small ck rose pattern at the tip... Even the ring, bracelets and ne... To be honest, her get-up would only be eptable if she received an invitation to a Halloween party. However, it was currently July, four months away from the month of October.


    "Well, that''s not only a birthday event actually, but the actual celebration for him getting elected or chosen as the CEO. That person must have wanted to use this event to show much authority he held in hispany and, as usually, established partnerships and connections. Typical business strategies." Jiang Li patiently exined.


    It was impossible for Ye Xinya not to know about this, but there were just asions when a person had to be reminded ofmon sense.


    After nodding at himself in the mirror, he dragged the girl back to her room and chose a decent blue long dress from her walk-in closet before walking out of the room.


    "If you hate the all-ck outfit, why didn''t you choose something morous for me? In this dress, only my arms and face will be revealed. Are you scared if they saw anything more skin, even a little bit, will cause everyone in the venue to go crazy for me?"


    "No. You''ll feel cold. The ce will definitely be greatly airconditioned. Even if the fabric of that dress is still not up to my standards, it''s already the thickest. Better than nothing. At least it should be able to block some cold and wind." With an honest face, Jiang Li said what was on his mind. He even added, "No need to thank me. I''m just trying to be thoughtful here."


    The girl stared at him suspiciously for some time but when nothing changed in his expression, she scolded outright, "Shameless liar!" Then she turned around and walked towards her dresser table.


    Jiang Li shrugged then said, "I''ll wait for you outside. If you can''t do it, since I''m sure you also don''t want me to experiment on your lovely hair, don''t worry we have lots of time to go to a salon and have the people there take care of your hairdo."


    After closing the door and ensuring nothing from the outside would make its way into the ears of the one inside the room, he beganughing and shaking his head. Even though years already passed, he still couldn''t get enough of teasing the girl.


    Hisughter lingered in the ce for quite a while until it died down because the owner of the voice went back to pondering over the witch''s word days ago.


    ''She called the leads disgustingly lucky people, which is very urate when factored in how everything revolves around them and goes the leads'' way once the plot officially started.'' He plopped down on the furry peach sofa in the middle of the room.


    ''The witch also said there will be no more big dramas because the leads are already together. She made it sound like the little dramas will not be big deals. However, I''m having a strong feeling this wouldn''t be the case. It''s hard to fathom the plot. Underestimating it might result in it managing to do fatal damage to the viiness.''


    Reminded of the kidnapping n by the Jings, his expression turned solemn. Since Ye Xinya would surely take more time inside, he fetched his phone from the room and contacted several people. It was time for the Jings to either self-destruct. Or be heavily damaged but survived, forever haunted by the bad image they now had.


    As for the female lead... Ah, that bothersome woman.


    She should be thankful, all she did were minor tricks and that she already got embarrassed a few times when she tried to sabotage or n something not nice against Ye Xinya.
