Chapter 371 Gentle Trap (XV)
He was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Jiayi, I'll be with you on the set today, okay?"

An Jiayi felt that Xie Zhang seemed to have changed his personality.

He had changed so much that An Jiayi was often surprised.

Can one person change so much?
Or it was because his feelings towards her had changed greatly.

An Jiayi would rather believe the latter.

She nodded, like a girl who had just fallen in love, timidly and happily said: "Okay, it's good for you to accompany me."

The next day in the crew, Xie Zhang sat on the only recliner and watched An Jiayi filming.

The director standing by had a serious expression, fearing that one careless move would upset the biggest financial sponsor, so the entire crew paid more attention to An Jiayi's role.

After An Jiayi finished filming, she would walk over to Xie Zhang, like a little kid, with bright eyes, and eagerly ask him, "Did I film well just now?"

Xie Zhang said yes, paused, and then said: "Jia Yi, I think whatever you do is good."

An Jiayi saw Xie Zhang's eyes, which contained a gentle smile, but covered with a layer of darkness, and it did not seem so real.

An Jiayi didn't want to be the one who dug deep into the matter.

Sometimes being a not-so-smart person is also a smart approach.

Her smile deepened, and she said with a smile: "Then after the filming, take me to eat something delicious."

"Okay, what do you want to eat?"

An Jiayi said that there are several delicious farmhouses nearby. Do you want to go and eat?

"What kind of farmhouse?" Xie Zhang paused and said, "I haven't eaten it before, but you can try it."

An Jiayi nodded, her smile showing genuine happiness.

Xie Zhang thought about what he was about to do, so he lowered his eyes to cover up the gloom in his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Otherwise, bring your colleagues from the crew along, I'll treat everyone to a meal."

Young Master Xie was cold and arrogant by nature, and had never done anything to show sympathy to his subordinates. Everyone was flattered and kept thanking An Jiayi.

Everyone enjoyed the meal at the farm house at night.

Xie Zhang's mind was all on An Jiayi. He took care of her in every possible way, serving her food and asking about her well-being.

Such a situation is much rarer than the gorgeous clothes, jewelry and rare treasures of the past.

An Jiayi looked at Xie Zhangqing's handsome face and couldn't help but have inappropriate thoughts: How nice it would be if this person could stay by her side and never leave.

As she thought about this, her eyes became moist.

There was toasting and the atmosphere was lively.

Behind the scenes, An Jiayi mustered up her courage for the first time and held Xie Zhang's hand tightly in public.

Xie Zhang was surprised for a moment. He looked at An Jiayi calmly. In the end, he said nothing, but just held her hand tightly.

After three rounds of drinks, someone finally plucked up the courage to toast Xie Zhang.

Xie Zhang looked at the director's flushed face, smiled, and picked up the teacup beside him. "I still have to drive Jiayi back to the hotel, so I'll have tea instead of wine."

"Great! Thank you so much for your appreciation! Mr. Xie, rest assured that you can give us this opportunity. Our crew will not let Mr. Xie and Miss An down, and we will definitely make this drama well!"

These were all nice words spoken for show. Xie Zhang listened without changing his expression and with a dull smile.

An Jiayi ate a bit too much, so she leaned closer to Xie Zhang and whispered, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Xie Zhang looked at her, frowned, and asked softly: "Are you feeling unwell?" "No." An Jiayi blushed, "I just ate a little too much."

Xie Zhang's expression relaxed and he said softly, "Then go ahead."

An Jiayi nodded and left the box.

In the bathroom, An Jiayi was about to walk out from the inner room, but she heard a conversation coming from outside.

"This An Jiayi is really capable. You didn't see how Xie Zhang looked just now. He was so considerate."

Along with the sound of running water, another woman said with a smile: "So what? It's still inevitable that the result will not be presentable. Don't you know? Xie Zhang is going to get engaged soon."

An Jiayi stood there in a daze, her mind going blank for a moment.

The other woman continued, "No way? From what I see, Young Master Xie really likes An Jiayi."

"For people of their class, does it matter whether they like someone or not? I heard that the marriage partner that the Xie family arranged for Xie Zhang is a young lady from the Lin family. She is a good match for him."

An Jiayi felt a little dizzy. She could hardly stand and managed to hold on to the door panel to avoid falling to the ground.

"If you ask me, this An Jiayi is quite unlucky. With her current status, how can the Xie family tolerate her?"

The two talked and their voices faded away.

An Jiayi used up the last of her strength, opened the door, and walked to the sink.

She looked in the mirror and saw that her face was as pale as paper, like a female ghost.

After a long moment, she looked at herself in the mirror and forced a desolate smile.

As expected, people cannot desire things that do not belong to them. An Jiayi, you are wrong.

On the way back, An Jiayi kept pretending to be asleep.

Xie Zhang was still recalling the moment when An Jiayi tightly grasped the back of his hand under the table. He smiled faintly and said softly while driving: "Why did you suddenly hold my hand today? You were very reserved when you were outside before."

An Jiayi opened her eyes and looked at the dark road in front of her. The high beam could not illuminate all the scenery. "I got carried away for a moment and forgot who I was. I won't do that again in the future."

Xie Zhang's good mood suddenly dropped by half.

He frowned at An Jiayi and said coldly, "What do you mean? Jiayi, what have I done to make you unhappy again?"

"No."

"Then why are you suddenly speaking so harshly?"

An Jiayi looked at Xie Zhang and said, "You also suddenly started lying to me, didn't you?"

Intense brake noise.

Xie Zhang parked the car on the side of the road.

He looked at An Jiayi seriously and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

"Literally, you lied to me."

"What did I lie to you about? An Jiayi, I've been busy all day just to make you happy, is this how you treat me now?"

"So, Mr. Xie was trying to cheer me up? Why did you suddenly want to cheer me up?" An Jiayi chuckled, her eyes reddened, "Could it be because you are hiding something from me?"

Xie Zhang's face changed slightly. For some reason, he suddenly felt more guilty than ever before. "I'm not hiding anything from you."

"Xie Zhang, I already know everything, and you're still planning to lie to me?" An Jiayi was disappointed when she heard what Xie Zhang said, "I thought you would at least tell me, but you treated me like a fool! You were getting married, why didn't you tell me!"
