Xiao Yi's eyes, with an unreadable expression, fixed on her. He suddenly asked, "You seem to know a lot about his affairs."
"Wouldn't I know! Han Jian Yue was practically shouting it to the whole world with a megaphone just now!"
"Is that so~"
His "so" held a certain meaningful implication.
Xia Niang Niang perked up, tilting her chin to look at him, "What, you don't believe me?"
Xiao Yi curled his lips, saying casually, "He's a Han family member. It's better for you to keep your distance."
"Oh?"
This time, it was her turn to be meaningful.
Back then, what existed between him and Han Mo Yin, her not asking didn't mean she hadn't noticed.
In this life, he wasn't forced back to the Xiao family to take over the business, so he hadn't collaborated with Han Jian Yue.
However, it seemed that Han Jian Yue had still crossed him! Therefore, his status as the sole heir of the Han family was likely no longer secure.
From what Xiao Yu said earlier, the Xiao family's interactions with Han Mo Yin today would likely be considerable.
Xiao Yi glanced at her, "I heard you even hit Han Jian Yue for him? Heh, you're really special to him, then, or is he that important to you? That you'd fight for a man under the spotlight of being a celebrity?"
The jealousy was palpable!
If Xia Wei Liang couldn't sense it, wouldn't that be a disservice to her romantic experience across two lifetimes?
She sat next to him, speaking with utmost sincerity, "I just saw injustice and kicked out! As for how important Han Mo Yin is, not necessarily, but Han Jian Yue is truly annoying! He's the type that... well, when you see him, you'd want to... want to teach him a good lesson! Otherwise, your hands would itch, and you'd feel uncomfortable all over! You know that feeling, right?"
Xiao Yi pursed his thin lips and nodded, "Mm."
Indeed.
If he were to say who he'd met who was likable, perhaps only the person before him would make him want to steal a few extra glances... or a few more.
But, as for who was the most detestable, it would undoubtedly be Han Jian Yue.
He possessed an inherently annoying aura! Coupled with a lack of self-awareness in his later years, this aura only grew richer and more profound, making it hard not to lash out.
Therefore, he accepted Xia Wei Liang's explanation.
It was entirely because the object of her action was Han Jian Yue.
Then, thinking of something, he tilted his head to look at her, "Do you often take photos with male fans voluntarily?"
"That..."
Xia Wei Liang felt a little embarrassed, "I didn't have many fans before. Although I had some male fans, I was too obscure, and basically, no one would approach me to ask for a photo... The situation has improved a bit now, but I'm still not that famous." Su Dan Fiction Network
In essence, there was only one reason: no opportunity!
Xiao Yi chuckled, "Then it seems Han Mo Yin is truly fortunate."
He shifted his gaze back, and as he looked up, he saw a beautiful face suddenly leaning in.
Xia Wei Liang stared at him unblinkingly and asked hesitantly, "Do you... do you mind a lot?"
Compared to before, her relationship with the current Xiao Yi wasn't so clearly defined.
A flicker of discomfort crossed Xiao Yi's eyes, but it was fleeting, "You're overthinking it."
His voice was also rather stiff.
Xia Wei Liang smiled; he was truly tsundere.
But what did it matter?
She simply liked him this way – handsome, tsundere, and devoted. Wow, it was just perfect!
"What are you smiling about?"
This time, it was Xiao Yi who appeared slightly unnatural.
"Nothing, I just think you're very handsome!"
Xiao Yi had never really cared about being handsome, but for some reason, hearing it from her mouth made him inexplicably happy!
Mm, he hadn't expected that one day he would also benefit from this face.
Perhaps driven by the damned competitive spirit of men, he asked with utmost seriousness, "Am I more handsome, or is Han Mo Yin more handsome?"
"..."
Did it have to be so meticulous?
Xia Wei Liang decided to give him a lesson, so she patiently said, "There's no real answer to this question, and even if there were, it might not be the correct one. For example, if I asked, who is more beautiful between me and Sister Rong Rong..."
Xiao Yi replied without any hesitation, "You are."
"...Alright, I think Brother Nan would have a different opinion."
Then, she asked again, "Then, for example, who is more beautiful between me and your mother?"
Seeing Xiao Yi pause, Xia Wei Liang chuckled, "See, isn't it difficult to answer? Because..."
"You're still more beautiful."
"..."
Wasn't this exactly what he was supposed to do?
Seeing Xia Wei Liang staring at him dazedly, Xiao Yi slowly said, "I hesitated because she has become very blurry in my memory. I need to recall her appearance."
Xia Wei Liang's heart trembled. She suddenly felt very apologetic. She had been too thoughtless, asking such a question of all questions!
"But after I recalled, I realized that you are indeed more beautiful."
Xia Wei Liang's features were almost contorted; she felt genuine guilt!
"Xiao Yi, I, I didn't do it on purpose..."
Knowing what she was apologizing for, Xiao Yi remained unbothered, "There's nothing to apologize for. You merely asked a normal question, and I merely answered it. As for anything else, there's no need to pursue it further; I've long forgotten."
He was an adult and needed to be responsible for his own life. What else was there to dwell on?
Moreover, among the seven Xiao brothers, each had faced similar circumstances. They had learned to huddle together for warmth since childhood, so there was no need for lamenting the spring sorrow.
Seeing that he had truly let go, Xia Wei Liang finally felt a bit better.
"So, you still haven't answered me? Between me and Han Mo Yin, who is more handsome?"
Alas, one of the Film Emperor's advantages was his persistence.
She quietly raised her head to glance at him, "I, I prefer your type." Her voice was so faint it was almost inaudible, and her face turned red as she spoke, her small hands twisting together.
The gaze from above gradually softened, "Mm, I know."
She was a bit bewildered, "Know what?"
"Know that you like me."
Xia Wei Liang's eyes widened. Looking at Xiao Yi's composed expression, her face turned even redder, "I, I, I... I didn't say that! Don't take things out of context!"
Xiao Yi's eyes curved with pleasure. Even he found it hard to describe his feelings at the moment; he wanted to preserve everything beautiful that belonged to her, at any cost.
At this moment, Xia Wei Liang remembered something. She immediately sat up straight and asked, "Is Han Mo Yin currently cooperating in some research institute?"
Xiao Yi looked at her with slight surprise, then quickly frowned and asked seriously, "How did you know?"
He had only just learned about this matter himself and had already begun investigating, but where did Xia Wei Liang get her information?
Xia Wei Liang certainly wouldn't say these were things she had experienced!
She made up a casual explanation, "Don't underestimate Brother Yuan; she was a private investigator! There's nothing she doesn't know!"
"Oh, is that so?"
Xiao Yi just listened, not exposing her.
Even if Song Yuan was a private investigator, how could she have found out about this right after meeting Han Jian Yue? Furthermore, it made no sense for her to have investigated him before!
