Xue An hung up the phone and flashed a smile at An Yan, “Uncle Xie and the others will come over later too!”
An Yan said helplessly, “Why make it such a big deal?”
Xue An walked over and pulled An Yan into his arms, his chin gently resting on her small head.
“Because I want everyone to know… you’re my woman!”
An Yan shuddered, then wrapped her arms around Xue An’s waist and hummed softly in agreement.
“Didn’t you call Xuan’Er?” An Yan suddenly asked.
Xue An smiled, “She’s now living in the Number One Tian Villa. We’ll head over to find her later and give her a surprise!”
An Yan nodded, her face full of guilt, “At that time, I owe a lot to Xuan’Er. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have even made it off the operating table!”
Xue An hugged An Yan tenderly, “It’s all in the past, everything’s behind us now. I’ll make sure you and the children become the happiest women in the world!”
Then An Yan leaned in close to Xue An’s ear and whispered softly, “And… what about that movie star Fan Mengxue?”
Xue An was taken aback.
An Yan giggled like a little flower cat, “The kids told me everything!”
Xue An gave a wry smile, “Yan’er, between Meng Xue and me, there is really…”
An Yan reached out to cover Xue An’s mouth, gently shaking her head, her eyes filled with love, “No need to explain, I understand.”
She then said softly, “I’m not a narrow-minded woman. I know I’m the only one in your heart, and that’s enough! She’s not a bad person either. There’s nothing wrong with liking someone. Why not invite her over? It’d be more fun to have her join the excitement, right?”
Xue An nodded, “Alright! Then I’ll give her a call!”
At that moment, Fan Mengxue was at a scenic location not too far from Beijiang, filming a new movie.
After a long take was completed, the director nodded with satisfaction, poking his head out from behind the camera to smile and say, “Meng Xue, you were brilliant in that scene, take a break!”
Fan Mengxue nodded, wiping away the tears from the scene, then sat down on a nearby chair.
The rest of the crew looked at her with admiring eyes.
Many actors with far less reputation than Fan Mengxue had far greater temperaments and pretensions.
But Fan Mengxue always remained approachable and her acting was unquestionably superb.
Such an actress was naturally cherished by everyone in the crew.
The male lead was played by a seasoned actor who had been famous for over a decade.
He came over now, smiling, “Meng Xue, your crying scene just now was so convincing I almost thought it was real!”
Fan Mengxue nodded politely, “Thank you!”
The male actor leaned in a bit closer, “With the weather being so hot, how about going for kebabs after we wrap up the shoot?”
Fan Mengxue smiled slightly then shook her head, “I’m sorry, I’d rather not go!”
“Oh…” The smile on the male actor’s face became a bit forced.
“Then… how about we add each other on WeChat? We’ve been filming together for quite some time and I still don’t have your personal WeChat,” the male actor suggested as a second option.
Fan Mengxue was about to refuse when her phone rang. She glanced at it and was taken aback.
“Meng Xue?” The male actor wanted to continue talking.
Fan Mengxue stood up abruptly, “I’m sorry, I don’t have WeChat!”
After saying this, Fan Mengxue turned and walked away, leaving the male actor standing there awkwardly.
Fan Mengxue went off to the side, took a deep breath before answering the call.
“Meng Xue!”
When Xue An’s voice came through the phone, Fan Mengxue’s nose tingled, and she almost burst into tears.
“Yes! I’m here!”
“Come back to Beijiang tonight. I’ve returned!”
“Okay!” Fan Mengxue said without hesitation.
“An Yan’s back too!” Xue An added.
Fan Mengxue froze.
An Yan…
That was a name she had always been afraid to think about.
She’s finally back?
After a long while, Fan Mengxue wiped away the tears that had spilled over, smiled and said, “Congratulations!”
Xue An fell silent.
“I…,” Fan Mengxue really wanted to say she had something to attend to and wouldn’t return, but she simply couldn’t bring herself to say it.
Just then, An Yan whispered beside Xue An, “Meng Xue, it’s me, An Yan, come back, let’s have dinner together!”
Upon hearing this voice, Fan Mengxue’s whole body shuddered, and then she said tremulously, “Okay, I’ll come back now!”
After Xue An hung up the phone, An Yan’s hand gently stroked Xue An’s waist, suddenly grabbing a piece of flesh and twisting it hard.
A wave of sharp pain struck.
Xue An grimaced in pain, feigning a look of agony.
In reality, the force of An Yan’s hand felt no more than a tickle to Xue An.
Moreover, Xue An had to be careful to control himself; otherwise, a reflex could easily hurt An Yan.
An Yan pouted and released her hand, “Boring, it didn’t hurt you at all, did it!”
Xue An chuckled bitterly, “You asked me to make the call, and now you’re pinching me! Is there no justice left!”
Initially, An Yan wore an angry expression as a pretense, but eventually, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Actually, I’m not jealous at all. My husband is liked by so many outstanding girls; this just proves my good taste!”
Xue An coughed once, wisely staying silent.
“Besides, I know you have me in your heart, and that’s enough,” said An Yan in a low voice.
Xue An sighed and gently stroked An Yan’s hair, “You, after so many years, you haven’t changed, still so kind it breaks my heart.”
As they were talking, Xue An suddenly furrowed his brow and turned to look out the window.
“What’s the matter?”
“Xuan’Er is coming!”
It was Xiao Sha’s presence that Xue An had sensed, and that’s why he spoke.
“Isn’t it better that Xuan’Er is coming?”
Xue An shook his head, “There’s someone else with her.”
At that moment.
Jiao Ying’s car entered the residential area.
The dilapidated scenery of the neighborhood filled Jiao Ying and Zhu Feng’s eyes with disdain.
Seeing that Tang Xuan’er lived here, it was clear her life was far from affluent.
And Xiao Sha, who had been lazily lying on the seat since getting into the car, suddenly sat up.
It too had sensed Xue An’s presence.
The boss is back?
Now there would be roasted meat to eat again!
Xiao Sha was delighted.
“Let’s go upstairs and sit for a while. I’ve already told Deng Shao, and he’ll be here soon,” said Zhu Feng with a smile.
Tang Xuan’er, with a cold face, walked up the stairs. Just as she was about to open the door, she found that Xue An had already opened it and was smiling, “Xuan’Er, what brings you here?”
The appearance of Xue An changed Zhu Feng and Jiao Ying’s expressions.
Who is this man?
Could he be a man Tang Xuan’er hooked up with outside?
But Tang Xuan’er’s taste seems quite poor, to live in such a place; it’s evident this man isn’t wealthy.
Several thoughts crossed Zhu Feng and Jiao Ying’s minds, and their expressions turned arrogant.
“Xuan’Er, who is he?”
At this moment, Tang Xuan’er was staring at Xue An in surprise. Hearing the question, she finally came back to her senses.
“This is my friend, Xue An!”
