Xiao Kongkong truly could not answer Mr. Zhan's question.
She didn't even know what Wen Yi was planning, so she didn't dare to say anything that might ruin Wen Yi's plans.
However, Xiao Kongkong was also clever. At this moment, he kept glancing at Wen Yi and making small gestures, conveying the message that he knew the whole story, but he dared not speak without Wen Yi's consent.
Mr. Zhan frowned, a bad feeling welling up inside him.
Wen Yi was acting. When Mr. Zhan was peeking at Xiao Kongkong, she was worried that Xiao Kongkong, who knew nothing, wouldn't be able to answer Mr. Zhan's questions. But now that she thinks about it, Wen Yi was overthinking it. Xiao Kongkong was very clever and could cooperate with her perfectly.
When Wen Yi saw that Mr. Zhan was about to continue speaking, he sighed and diverted Mr. Zhan's attention.
"Mr. Zhan, it's hard to say." Wen Yi said with a hint of helplessness.
"Has something changed?" Mr. Zhan was most worried about the possibility that "Second Master doesn't agree?"
"It's fine if they just disagree."
"So, what Miss Wenyi means is..."
"Second Master is very angry right now. He always feels that there is an unclear relationship between me and Mr. Zhan. Now that he has taken the initiative to let Mr. Zhan move into the Royal Garden, he is even more suspicious that there is something going on between me and you."
Mr. Zhan did not seem overly surprised by this statement, as if it were within his expectations.
Mr. Zhan's expression darkened for a few seconds before he said, "I can host a party to explain this matter."
"Mr. Zhan, are you setting this up just to invite Second Master? Or are you inviting him and Second Master together?" Wen Yi countered.
Before Mr. Zhan could answer, Wen Yi continued, "If it's just an invitation to Second Master, do you think he would deign to attend given the current situation?"
"If you invite both me and Second Master at the same time, and things get out of control, it will be extremely troublesome for Mr. Zhan to move into the Royal Garden."
Mr. Zhan carefully considered Wen Yi's two sentences, and then asked, "So, does Miss Wen Yi have any insightful opinions?"
"I wouldn't presume to offer any insightful advice, but I do have a possible solution, though it will take some time."
"I would like to hear the details."
"The solution is to solidify the fact that my relationship with Mr. Zhan is ambiguous."
"What?"
Mr. Zhan was taken aback by Wen Yi's words. "Miss Wen Yi, could you please repeat that?"
Wen Yi said definitively, "Since Second Master has already misunderstood, then no matter how we explain, it will be useless. In that case, we might as well let Second Master believe that my relationship with Mr. Zhan is ambiguous."
"After all, it was Second Master who arranged for me to dance with Mr. Zhan back then, wasn't it?"
Wen Yi added this sentence, seemingly casually, but when he asked rhetorically at the end, "Isn't that so?" a mocking smile still appeared on his lips.
Xiao Kongkong glanced at him, clearly feeling that Wen Yi was still upset about the fact that Master Gu had arranged for her to dance with Mr. Zhan.
Xiao Kongkong lowered his head and remained silent, not interfering in the matter between Wen Yi and Master Gu.
Mr. Zhan did not rush to respond to Wen Yi's words. He leaned back in his chair, his expression becoming more restrained.
He rested his hand on the table and tapped it lightly, as if he were pondering something.
Wen Yi was very patient, drinking the wine on the table and waiting for Mr. Zhan to come to a conclusion.
"Miss Wen, may I ask you a question?"
"please."
"How is your relationship with Second Master?"
"They're just a couple working together, what feelings could they possibly have?" Wen Yi said sarcastically.
“I heard that Miss Wen was forced to marry into the Royal Garden, but I see that Miss Wen is doing very well in the Royal Garden, so it doesn’t seem like she was forced.”
"That second master has already lost two ex-wives, so many eyes are watching him, not to mention that woman in the capital..."
Wen paused deliberately at this point, glancing at Mr. Zhan and noticing that his expression immediately became wary when he heard the words "that person in the capital".
Wen Yi smiled subtly, deliberately glossing over the topic.
She said, "In short, he respects me so far. As for how I play around outside, as long as I don't cause any embarrassing situations or lose face, he won't interfere."
Wen Yi's words were indeed true.
She had hickeys all over her body yesterday, but Second Master Gu didn't care. Isn't that how it is?
Mr. Zhan pondered for a moment, "Miss Wen, if Second Master really finds out about my ambiguous relationship with you, won't he take action?"
"If there's any action, I'm going to bring a man back with me. At worst, he can bring a woman back. Isn't Wen Ge already eyeing him covetously? Perfect, he can bring Wen Ge back to the Imperial Garden, where they can each do their own thing, and there won't be any awkwardness when their eyes meet."
Wen Yi spoke very casually, but also in a very sleazy way.
While she was saying these things, Mr. Zhan kept staring at Wen Yi, clearly trying to figure out the meaning behind Wen Yi's words and how much of it was true and how much was false.
Wen Yi is a professional director. She took acting classes on her own before. For her, only by understanding what acting is and what actors are acting can one become a good director. Therefore, Wen Yi really has no mistakes in acting.
Even someone as shrewd and intelligent as Mr. Zhan couldn't see Wen Yi's problem at this point.
I believe about 70-80% of what Wen Yi said.
However, Mr. Zhan thought about it carefully before giving his answer, "This matter could be a big deal or a small deal, Miss Wen, may I reply to you tonight?"
“Of course,” Wen Yi answered readily. “However, I always thought that Mr. Zhan and I had a connection, and that Mr. Zhan should understand me, but…”
Wen Yi shrugged, looking regretful for having misjudged her friend, "It's alright, I'll wait for Mr. Zhan's reply."
But this statement is actually a hidden provocation.
Most people would impulsively agree to Wen Yi's suggestion.
But the old fox wouldn't do that; he just smiled, finalized the matter, and would reply later that evening.
“Miss Wen, there are a few new shops that have opened in the mall downstairs. I’d like to accompany you to browse around and see if there’s anything you like,” Mr. Zhan invited.
Once this invitation was sent, it essentially ended all previous chats.
Before giving a reply that evening, Mr. Zhan did not intend to continue discussing the previous topic with Wen Yi, so as not to affect his judgment.
"No, Xiao Kongkong and I still need to go to the construction site. After all, my movie set is just starting to be built, and the preliminary work is very heavy and troublesome. I need to go and keep an eye on it."
"Shall I escort Miss Wen over there?"
"I'll drive," Wen Yi declined.
Mr. Zhan was also sensible. Since the matter had come to this point and was considered truly over, he didn't want to linger and say anything more to Wen Yi, lest it affect his subsequent judgment and outcome.
Mr. Zhan then made an excuse to leave, while Wen Yi and Xiao Kongkong remained in the restaurant.
"Are you tired after hiding and eavesdropping for so long?" Wen asked expressionlessly.
