Because of the small episode in the room, the two at the table were silent.
From time to time, Ji Xuan took Yu Guang to secretly pay attention to Sheng Zeyan's expression, thinking whether he would tell her if he asked him about the project with Ji Zhenchuan.
Sheng Zeyan noticed Ji Xuan's small movements early on, but didn't point them out.
But then found that she had been biting the chopsticks and didn't eat much at all, so she put down the dishes.
"What happened? You look restless."
Even if Ji Xuan had just thought that she had built a high wall between the two, she didn't intend to get closer, but now that she saw her appearance, he couldn't ignore it.
"No... uh!"
Ji Xuan was shocked because of Sheng Zeyan's sudden opening. She accidentally bit her chopsticks and knocked her teeth. The pain made her frown.
"What's wrong, let me see."
Sheng Zeyan got up to see Ji Xuan's situation, only to see her covering her mouth and shaking her head.
"I didn't pay attention just now. I bit the chopsticks and it will be fine in a while." Ji Xuan reluctantly said when Sheng Zeyan was still standing in front of her.
Sheng Zeyan didn't know whether to laugh or to be angry. There was still a clear mark on the pair of wooden chopsticks in front of Ji Xuan, which could tell how hard she bit down.
"How can you bite chopsticks while eating like a child? It is not allowed to do this in the future, it is very dangerous."
Ji Xuan also knew that she was not careful just now, so she nodded her head cleverly and did not confront Sheng Zeyan.
Sheng Zeyan felt relieved when she saw that she seemed to be fine.
Instead of sitting back in his seat, he sat down beside Ji Xuan and asked, "Let's talk, what did you think about just now?"
Ji Xuan was a little entangled. Now if she answered that there was nothing, she thought with her toes and knew that Sheng Zeyan would not believe it, so would she tell the truth?
"In fact, it's not a big deal. I just want to ask, how is the project you worked with my dad?"
When Ji Xuan spoke, she didn't dare to look at Sheng Zeyan at all, but couldn't help but wonder what his expression would be and what he would think.
"It's just that?" Sheng Zeyan asked uncertainly, as if he didn't quite believe that just such a thing would make Ji Xuan so upset, and even accidentally bite his chopsticks.
"I just ask, if you don't want to say it, it's fine."
Ji Xuan straightened her waist uncomfortably, her eyes turned around at the table, just not looking at Sheng Zeyan.
Sheng Zeyan looked at Ji Xuan's reaction one by one, and understood for a while, he thought for a while and said: "You don't have to worry about this little thing, just ask, I will tell you, but... "
As soon as he changed his voice, Ji Xuan looked at him subconsciously.
"Why are you so interested in this matter? Worried that your dad will lose money?"
Sheng Zeyan still remembered that Ji Xuan asked about this not long ago and how much they could make.
At that time he knew what she wanted to hear, but he didn't take it too seriously.
But now I ask again, which is worth thinking about.
"I... just want to know your progress. I'm worried about any of you losing money."
Originally, Ji Xuan wanted to say that she was not worried about whether Ji Zhenchuan would lose money, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was not good to say that, so she changed her words temporarily.
"Just relax, as long as the project goes on smoothly, no one will lose money." Sheng Zeyan said with a smile, as if comforting Ji Xuan.
"That's good, it's good if you don't lose money." Ji Xuan hurriedly retracted her gaze, then picked up the chopsticks and started eating, as if the topic had ended.
Seeing her like this, Sheng Zeyan couldn't help but curl his lips.
She really understood so well, every time she wanted to divert her attention, she would deliberately do something else to hide herself, just like now.
"My main focus is now on the movie side, and the project will be given full responsibility to Zi Liang. Once the preparations are completed, it will not be officially launched until next month at the earliest."
Hearing this, Ji Xuan hurriedly swallowed the rice in her mouth and looked at Sheng Zeyan in surprise.
"It will start next month, so soon?" Ji Xuan's mood is a bit complicated.
She didn't know when it started, she hoped to end this kind of life, and also wondered what way to divorce Sheng Zeyan and how to get out of Ji Zhenchuan's mercy.
But when she can really get rid of Ji Zhenchuan's mercy, maybe she can end the relationship with Sheng Zeyan. At this time, she feels a bit sudden.
Maybe she thought too much about ending the relationship with Sheng Zeyan, but she no longer had to be controlled by Ji Zhenchuan, and there was no reason to continue with Sheng Zeyan.
Besides, Ji Zhenchuan must also know what Ji Zilin thought about Sheng Zeyan.
When he makes money and let the Ji family get through this difficult time, she won't need her, right?
After the mutually beneficial relationship ends, should she give way to her fake daughter of the Ji family?
With those problems piled up in his mind, Ji Xuan felt panicked. There was something stuck in his throat, and he couldn't swallow or vomit it out.
"It's already very slow. According to the previous plan, it should have started a long time ago. The main reason is that the movie has stalled. After all, it is the first movie. If the results are too ugly, it will probably make people laugh."
Sheng Zeyan spoke easily, but Ji Xuan did not feel relaxed at all.
"It turns out that's the case, and that's right, the results shouldn't be too ugly, but it's starring Liu Yuwei, so the box office should be good."
Ji Xuan was a little incoherent, and Sheng Zeyan quickly realized something was wrong.
"You're not still wondering what's between me and Liu Yuwei?"
Just now Ji Xuan mentioned Liu Yuwei, Sheng Zeyan wondered if he thought of the past because of hearing him talk about movies.
"No, I didn't doubt anything." Ji Xuan stood up abruptly, quickly said "I'm full", and went upstairs.
Sheng Zeyan looked at Ji Xuan's back for unknown reasons, wondering what was going on, why she suddenly had such a big reaction.
If it really wasn't because of Liu Yuwei, what would it be because of?
Recalling what Ji Xuan said just now, Sheng Zeyan's heart moved.
Is she worried that the project is going too fast?
This speculation caused Sheng Zeyan to fall into contemplation.
After Ji Xuan fled back to the room, she also regretted.
Her reaction like that just now meant that she was telling Sheng Zeyan that something was wrong with her? And if you dig deeper, you can't hide anything.
But when she learned the news, she really couldn't control herself, she couldn't manage her emotions at all.
Ji Xuan fell on the bed feebly, thinking what to do next.
Now that I know the approximate time, next month, I will be in a hurry to prepare. It seems I can only rely on Ren Xiaoyou.
But the main problem now is not this, but what should Sheng Zeyan do.
