Chapter 64 Because You Still Love Him

  She nodded, "That's right, it's quite embarrassing. Even if we won't have any contact now, I still won't agree to such a thing."

  He put down his cup and sat up straight, "Because you still love him, and have never forgotten him."

  Xiao Ai's face turned even paler, she clenched her fists, "I didn't!"

  "You have..."

  She stood up and said to him in a serious tone, "I... don't... have."

  It's unclear whether he was saying it for his own sake or trying to convince himself.

  "Do you have it or not, isn't it clear in your heart?"

  "I don't understand, even if I get back together with him, what does it have to do with you?"

  He wiped his mouth, stood up and frowned, saying, "The women I've played with, I don't have the heart to send them to him as a wife. You know that the Mu family is a famous and respected family. Your background aside, just because you've been in my bed, this alone is enough to make you unsuitable for him. So, this thing about turning a sparrow into a phoenix, it's better if you don't have any plans."

  Shu Xiao Ai's eyes suddenly turned red. "Zhong Yu Chen, this is my personal matter, don't interfere with it. I won't agree to what you're asking."

  After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out quickly.

  Zhong Yuchen stared at her back, motionless.

  Shu Xiao Ai arrived at the film set by taking a bus as usual at the usual time.

  As soon as she arrived at the crew, she found that Mu Xuyao was also there early in the morning and sat next to the director.

  It's probably because of him that the director and any staff member didn't speak harshly to Shu Xiao Ai, everyone on the surface creating a kind of extraordinary indication of two words: harmony.

  Xiao Ai sat quietly in the chair, looking at the script and waiting for her turn to perform, but despite lowering her head, she could still feel a scorching gaze fixed on herself.

  Because it was too scorching, she felt thoroughly.

  She suddenly looked towards the source of her gaze and glared at him fiercely before continuing to recite her lines with her head down.

  Mantaro was taken aback by her sudden glare, followed by a smile that came from within.

  The director looked at Mu San Shao beside him and then at Shu Xiao Ai not far away, and suddenly seemed to understand something.

  Two shows in the morning, and filming went very smoothly.

  Because there was another play in the afternoon, Shu Xiao Ai didn't need to change her clothes, but since it was summer, wearing long-sleeved ancient costumes made her feel sweltering.

  She found a quiet place to eat her lunchbox and mineral water without being disturbed.

  A place for storing miscellaneous items, because it's messy and hot, nobody comes here at all.

  Gobbling down food and water, just as I was about to finish eating, a pair of tall male legs stood in front of me.

  She stuffed her mouth with food and raised her head, meeting Murakami's gaze.

  "Xiao Ai." The voice was tinged with a hint of hoarseness, and his eyes were embedded with a faint clarity.

  Shu Xiao Ai lowered her head and said, "Since you insisted on ending our relationship with a single breakup text message back then, why are you still appearing in front of me now? Is it to constantly remind me that we were once together?"

  "I thought after two years of separation, I would be used to being apart from you and wouldn't feel anything when we meet again. But I was wrong, terribly wrong. Now I realize that I actually can't bear the calmness."

  Shu Xiao Ai couldn't deny that hearing these words had stirred up a slight ripple in her heart, but it was far from enough to erase the wound etched on her mind.

  She stood up from the ground, raised her head and looked at him. Suddenly, she clenched her fist, swiftly lifted her hand and slapped his right cheek with a loud smack, which made her palm feel numb.
