Xie Xuan's breathing became heavier as there was a hint of joy in his heart. He answered the phone and deliberately lowered his voice, "Is there something wrong?"

Jiang Xun had just finished taking a shower and was only wearing thin pajamas, leaning against the window. She opened the curtains with one hand and held the phone in the other. Her sleepiness could be heard as soon as she opened her mouth. Her voice was soft and laid-back, "What are you doing downstairs in my house?"

Xie Xuan froze. He stayed silent for a long time.

"Were you looking for me?" Jiang Xun asked with a smile.

"No." Xie Xuan said in a deep voice.

"Alright, I thought you missed me."

Xie Xuan was tempted by her soft voice for a moment. His eyes were a bit stunned.

"If not, then it's fine. Bye."

"Jiang Xun..."

Suddenly, Xie Xuan called her name, a bit vicious. When Jiang Xun heard him, she laughed instead.

"Why are you calling me?"

Calling you is obviously trying to do you.

Xie Xuan almost blurted out. He forcibly endured it, but said nothing in the end.

The atmosphere became strange. Xie Xuan put his finger on the hang-up button and was confused why he couldn't press it no matter what.

Jiang Xun was so drowsy that she yawned, "I'm heading to bed. If you aren't going to say anything, I'm going to hang up."

Xie Xuan's temper surged. This woman didn't seem to feel she was wrong at all, instead from the way she acted, it was like he was the one making unreasonable troubles.

"You, called me." Xie Xuan replied coldly.

"Yeah, because I saw you waiting silently downstairs outside my house. It seemed a bit pitiful." Jiang Xun walked to the bed and got under the blanket. She continued to tease, "We can't be friends, but we can still be acquaintances and check on you."

Xie Xuan gritted his teeth and said bitterly,"No need, thank you."

"Then, good night, I'm gonna sleep first."

Jiang Xun hung up the phone without any reluctance, and fell asleep within a few minutes after touching the pillow.

Xie Xuan was so angry that his chest heaved up and down. He held the phone, unable to speak for a long time.

"We can go now." His voice was as cold as the sleet wind in winter.

The driver peeked at his face from the rear view mirror, sat up straight and then drove quickly.

Two days later, sure enough, Yao Ke did take the initiative to ask Jiang Xun for an audition and even sent her the script.

Manager Xu Qiu was surprised by Jiang Xun's ability. His focus might shift to her in the near future.

Jiang Xun and Yao Ke set an audition time. Then she pushed off all her other events and concentrated solely on studying the script at home.

Xiao Han hadn't seen her for many days, therefore he sent a lot of messages to say he missed her. But because Jiang Xun had her phone off to the side, when she saw it, it was normally several hours later. Her delayed reply, refusal to meet up and saying she was practicing a script as an excuse made Xiao Han flustered.

One night after finish filming his parts, Xiao Han couldn't help it anymore. He directly gave Jiang Xun a call just as she was about to eat. She answered the ringing phone.

"Babe, are you at home?"

Jiang Xun supported her chin, "En? What did you call me?"

"Jie jie." Xiao Han looked around and said in a low voice, covering his mouth with his hand.

"En, that's what I thought. I'll ignore you if you don't address me correctly." Ever since Jiang Xun treated Xiao Han to a meal that day, claiming to be the elder sister that treats meals, and asked Xiao Han to call her jie jie, Xiao Han thought it was interesting and accepted it without much convincing.

Jiang Xun stretched her body. Next, she went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to look at the ingredients inside, thinking about what to eat later.

"Understand. I miss you so much, you haven't been with me recently." Xiao Han had the melancholy of a married woman.

"Guai, I was busy."

Xiao Han could sense Jiang Xun's careless tone.

In fact, she doesn't like him that much and it's all his wishful thinking.

Xiao Han actually knew the truth deep long ago, but he just couldn't help thinking about her and wanting to be close to her. As long as she was willing to pay attention to him and give him a little response, it would be enough.

He still dreamed of getting her love, so he was willing to keep waiting for her. A gentle expression spread across Xiao Han' face, "Then don't be too tired. Have you eaten yet?"

"No, I'm about to prepare something." Jiang Xun took out the ingredients she needed from the fridge.

Yesterday she made a list, asked her assistant to buy them, and used them to make some dishes that appeared in"The Ideal Man" 's plot.

"I haven't eaten yet. Can I come over and freeload a meal?" Xiao Han asked expectantly.

Jiang Xun thought for a while. It was quite boring by herself; she had already finished the script and remembered her lines, so Xiao Han could help her act out the scene.

"Come on, then. Be careful on the road." Jiang Xun said with a smile.

"Do you need me to bring something?"

"No need. Just bring yourself."

Jiang Xun's voice was really captivating, and made Xiao Han's heart itchy. Right now, he wanted nothing more than to see her, hug her, and kiss her.

Xiao Han came quite quickly, so Jiang Xun only had time to make one dish before the doorbell rang.

Jiang Xun turned the fire down and ran over to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Xiao Han embraced her.

"Jie jie."

Xiao Han stretched his arms around her waist. He lowered his head to feel the fragrance of her body, and pure happiness appeared on his face.

"What are you doing? Let me go, I'm cooking. My hands are all oily." Jiang Xun frowned.

The way she frowned was also beautiful in Xiao Han's eyes, "But I missed you and want to hug you."

Jiang Xun was helpless. How did she provoke such a clingy little milk dog? From the original owner's memories, Xiao Han, this little brother-in-law, had a very bad temper and wasn't easy to get along with. Later when he became a superstar, the news of his horrible temper and him being snobbish would often break the news.

Maybe she unlocked the other side of him. Jiang Xun felt a little happy when she thought about it this way. Her eyebrows smoothened out and her tone improved, "Okay, let me finish the dishes first. We'll talk later."

Xiao Han nodded "en, en." Then he carried her to the kitchen, "I'll carry you."

"I can walk by myself."

"I wanted to do it."

Jiang Xun had no choice but to let him be.

After the dishes were prepared, Xiao Han took two pictures of the dining table and even took a selfie with the table of dishes. "Jie jie, can I post the photo I took on Weibo?"

Jiang Xun said, "Let me see."

Xiao Han showed her the edited Weibo text and the photos he had just taken.

Jiang Xun saw no problem with it and agreed.

Xiao Han gladly posted it.

Xiao Han's Weibo was almost all work-related. The last time he posted something private was half a year ago. This time he suddenly posted such a Weibo with a selfie and made his fans excited.

Currently, he only has 5 million fans. But after the Weibo was posted, there were still many comments and likes.

After the meal, Xiao Han rushed to wash the dishes. He put the phone on the countertop of the cupboard, and swiped the back of his hand occasionally to read comments.

"Jie jie, won't you consider liking my post?"

Jiang Xun was lying on the sofa in concubine position, flipping through the script, since she has to audition tomorrow. When she heard Xiao Han's voice, she responded, "Okay."

She opened Weibo and in the passing, subscribed to Xiao Han before liking the Weibo that he had just posted.

These past few days, she has been staying at home and hasn't posted any Weibos. The last Weibo she posted was a video of her promoting a product she endorsed. After thinking about it, she took a selfie and posted it.

Xie Xuan and Xiao Sheng both set Jiang Xun as a priority on their social media, so they received the prompt the moment she posted on Weibo.

The two weren't glued to their phones all the time, which meant they didn't see her Weibo update the instant it came out. By the time they saw it, several hours had passed and there were already tens of thousands of comments under this Weibo.

At home, Jiang Xun usually doesn't wear any makeup. Her bare face was faceless from all 360 degrees angles. No matter how she was photographed, she looked photogenic. Her skin appeared so perfect that it glowed, making the fans call her goddess, fairy or hooting they licked the screen...

Xie Xuan observed her picture and thought about it. He hadn't seen her for several days now.

His fingers swiped down, and frozed. He re-focused his eyes and found Jiang Xun had just liked Xiao Han's newest post.

In those photos, he could see the hidden details others couldn't see.

The dining table in the photo was Jiang Xun's dining table, and the wallpaper behind Xiao Han's selfie was also Jiang Xun's.

Needless to say, the "jie jie" that Xiao Han was referring to was Jiang Xun. She actually cooked for him?

Hehe, very good, he hadn't ever tasted it yet.

Xie Xuan's face gradually sank, but then unexpectedly smiled. However, his smile was too cold, which made people fearful.

"Very good." Xie Xuan repeated again, but you can hear the iciness from his tone.

If Xie Xuan could see that, then Xiao Sheng couldn't possibly miss the fact Xiao Han was in his former home, eating the dishes his wife cooked, and calling his wife sister.

Xiao Sheng could vaguely feel an extremely heavy and shiny hat glowing on his head.

He called Xiao Han in anger, but Xiao Han directly hung up on him.

Xiao Han was still staying at Jiang Xun's house. From Xiao Sheng's nagging phone calls, he didn't need to guess or know it wasn't anything good. He definitely was calling to scold him. Right now, he was in a great mood. Of course, he doesn't want it to affect Jiang Xun and him.

After he hung up the phone, he pulled Xiao Sheng into his blacklist and planned on releasing it later.

Xiao Sheng was so angry that he almost puked out blood, but there was nothing he could do. He realized now more deeply than ever, Jiang Xun was truly not going to return to him again.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Jiang Xun had Xiao Han leave. Xiao Han said he was reluctant to leave and wouldn't stop hugging her. He only behaved when Jiang Xun put on a long face and pretended to be angry.

"Then you escort me back." Xiao Han said a little aggrieved.

Jiang Xun was powerless, "I'll send you off at the door."

Xiao Han wanted to haggle more. However, Jiang Xun furrowed her brow, and he didn't dare to say anything.

Jiang Xun took him to the door. She opened the door, "Alright, head back home."

Xiao Han stood at the door, asking for a goodbye kiss.

"Aren't you leaving?" Jiang Xun arched her eyebrows. Before she finished speaking, she paused.

Who knew when Xie Xuan appeared out in the corridor, and was watching them with a dark face.

Xiao Han turned back to see Xie Xuan. He immediately stood in front of Jiang Xun, blocking Xie Xuan from looking at Jiang Xun and stared at Xie Xuan vigilantly as if he was protecting his food, "What are you here for?"

Xie Xuan didn't put him in his eyes at all, but called Jiang Xun's name indifferently.
