Chapter 74: Shifting the Blame

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Yan knew that Bai Xue had maliciously framed Jiang Ling’er, but she was still trying to put the blame on his assistant and Yue Ling. ‘You clearly hate Ling’er, but you’re saying you want to be friends with her?’

Looking at the pitiful Bai Xue, Li Yan’s heart was in disarray. ‘Are you still the pure and kind girl 1 know? Or was I actually blind all this time, and this is your true self?’

Li Yan said, “Since Jiang Ling’er doesn’t want to be friends with you, don’t force it.”

Bai Xue walked toward Li Yan and hugged his arm. “But if we have a good relationship with Ling’er, perhaps both the Li family and Jiang family can form a closer bond.”

Li Yan felt so conflicted. Bai Xue seemed like a sensible girl, but she was doing dirty deeds behind his back. He thought, ‘She’s like a walking contradiction.’

Li Yan didn’t react to her intimate actions at all. “You really don’t need to stoop so low.”

Bai Xue looked at Li Yan and said, “Li Yan, I’m willing to do anything for you. Just wait and see. One day, Ling’er will be my friend.”

Li Yan’s eyes flashed with suspicion. ‘You keep saying that you want to be friends with Jiang Ling’er for the sake of me and the Li family, but you secretly slandered her. How two-faced can you get? Are you still the Bai Xue 1 know?’

Li Yan pretended to be sincere as he said, “1 know that you hate Jiang Ling’er, and I don’t want you to do anything you don’t like. I just want you to be happy.”

Li Yan’s words made Bai Xue restless and happy at the same time.

She said, “It’s not that I hate Ling’er. She’s the one who dislikes me, so she often goes against me. I’m also not forcing myself. 1 just want put in effort so that Grandpa will support our relationship.”

If it was before, Li Yan would have argued that the he was the one Bai Xue was marrying not the Li family, so there was no need to get their approval. Now, however, Li Yan couldn’t bring himself to say such words.

Li Yan could only smile helplessly while glancing at Bai Xue’s cute and obedient appearance. ‘Do you really think that just because you won’t admit it, no one will know?’

Bai Xue put on a pitiful expression and said, “Li Yan… I’ve been filming for more than half a month with Director Wang. Won’t all my efforts be in vain now that he wants to replace me? Can you help me?”

‘Of course, she needs something.’ Li Yan smiled and said, “You don’t need to worry about it. Wang Wei doesn’t have the guts.”

Li Yan had invested a lot money in this drama to ensure that Bai Xue would be the female lead. How could the director replace her so easily?

Bai Xue showed a happy expression and gently kissed Li Yan. She said shyly, “I’m relieved. I’ve put in so much effort for this drama, so if 1 get replaced, 1’11 probably be depressed for a long time.”

In the past, even a simple hug would have made Li Yan unable to resist, let alone if she teased him like this. He would have already kissed her passionately and pushed her down. Now, however, he was just not in the mood for anything.

Bai Xue was confused. ‘He’s not reacting at all? Is there something wrong?’

Li Yan said, “Just be good and do your best. Is there anything else? I have to attend a meeting later.”

Bai Xue hugged Li Yan’s neck and kissed him lightly before hurriedly taking a few steps back, as if she was worried that he would pounce on her. This method always worked on him. Whenever she used this in past, he would always eagerly seek her out. Unfortunately, her expectations didn’t come true—Li Yan neither hugged her nor pounced on her.

Bai Xue was extremely embarrassed. “Li Yan, if you have something to do, then go ahead. But can I wait for you here? It’s almost lunchtime, so I’m hoping that we can have lunch together.”

Li Yan was unwilling to stay with her. He said, “You’ve had a rough day. Instead of stressing yourself out, why don’t you take a walk? Maybe you can go shopping to ease your mind.”

Bai Xue pretended to hesitate, but she was secretly excited. “But 1 still want to stay here with you..”
