After taking a few deep breaths, Xia Wei nodded and fell silent for a while.

Jian Tan was very patient and looked at Xia Wei very gently and firmly.

Although he had long guessed that Xia Wei would hesitate, he could not help but feel a little disappointed when it came to this moment. However, he was not discouraged. He was not so weak that he could not withstand the test!

“I really believe what you’re saying. I’m also very grateful to you for liking me so much.” Xia Wei did not think for long, but to the two of them, every second felt like a year.

Xia Wei chuckled as she spoke. Her eyes were clear when she looked at Jian Tan, and they were as bright as gems. “I’m quite impressive to be liked by an outstanding person like you! 1 know that you’re a person who takes relationships very seriously. Otherwise, you wouldn’t still be someone with no scandals after being in the industry for so many years. I’m also such a person. You should know that too.”

Seeing Jian Tan nod slightly at her, Xia Wei looked away as if she was avoiding it. However, she still smiled and said, “But I don’t have any plans to fall in love at the moment. I want to work hard in my career first. I want to be a good actor like you! So I’m sorry. I don’t think I can respond to your feelings.”

“Of course you’re a very good partner. There’s no one better than you, but 1 don’t have such plans now, so I’m sorry! Thank you for coming specially to deliver food today. You don’t have to go through so much trouble in the future. Thank you!”

There was a dead silence in the room that only she and Jian Tan were in.

Xia Wei felt that her heart was about to stop. This atmosphere was too hellish. She could not breathe. She was the one who rejected him, but why was she so sad?

“I understand what you mean. Smile first. Don’t act like you’re facing death with equanimity. You didn’t let me down, and you don’t have to apologize! Just like I said before, I’m just expressing my feelings to you. It wouldn’t be right if this would cause you trouble now. It’s fine. You don’t have to feel sorry. It’s your right to reject me.”

When Jian Tan said this, the disappointment in his eyes had already disappeared. The smile on his face never disappeared, as if he was not the one who was rejected.

He took a deep breath without batting an eyelid and said gently, “It’s fine if you don’t have such a plan. Then can I ask you for an ‘exclusive friendship’ now? If you don’t want to be alone in the future and want to find a ‘friend’ to chat with or drink with, can I be the first on your friend list? I’m pretty. You should be in a better mood when you see me, right?”

Jian Tan’s thoughtfulness and gentlemanliness made Xia Wei heave a long sigh of relief.

When Xia Wei felt that this man was really ‘deadly’, she also felt that she really did not know what was good for her. He was the dignified Jian Tan!

What right do you, Xia Wei, have to be treated so gently and considerately!

Xia Wei felt that her eyes were suddenly a little dry. After blinking unnaturally a few times, she lowered her head and chuckled. “Sure, I’ll treat you as my first choice…” Not only were they just friends, but if she wanted to choose a boyfriend, he would also be my first choice without any backup!

When she forced herself to swallow her last sentence, Xia Wei looked up at Jian Tan.

However, her eyes could not really speak, so Jian Tan did not know that he had become Xia Wei’s “first choice”.

“That’s good! 1 was really worried that I would scare you away. Alright, it’s getting late. Rest and prepare for your afternoon work. I have to go too.”

As Jian Tan spoke, he got up and put on a mask for himself. His eyes were still filled with smiles.

He waved his hand, indicating that Xia Wei did not have to send him off. He turned around and left the room. His footsteps were hurried and flustered, but Xia Wei did not notice it. He also felt that he had hidden it very well.

The sound of the door being gently closed could be heard. Xia Wei instinctively looked up, but that person was already gone..
