Chapter 453 Even wearing a mask for too long can get tiring.
Wen Jingran's eyes shifted, and only he knew what he was thinking.
"neat……"
Wen Jingran called her name, his voice unconsciously lowered, making it sound more magnetic and gentle.
That cry of "Chu Chu" gave A Chu goosebumps.
Nangong Xueyao, who had been following Wen Jingran, stopped in her tracks when she saw Achu.
Her mind raced, and she pulled out her hidden spare phone, turning on the recording function.
Wen Jingran raised his hand and smoothed his hair, revealing an expression that he thought made him look very handsome and charming.
"You've been back for so long, and I haven't had a chance to have a proper talk with you."
“These past few years must have been very tough for you in there.”
A Chu noticed Nangong Xueyao taking a picture out of the corner of her eye.
She subtly curled her lips into a smile.
"It's alright, it's all in the past now," Achu replied in a normal tone.
Wen Jingran took two steps forward, getting closer to A Chu.
He looked down at Achu and said, "Yaoyao told me that I know you and Wen Zhiyu are pretending to be a couple."
"Now that the show is over, you no longer have to force yourself to pretend to be a couple with someone you don't like."
Wen Jingran has a pair of peach blossom eyes, and when he deliberately puts on a gentle expression, he appears very affectionate.
The only similarity between Wen Jingran and Wen Zhiyu is their eyes.
Looking at Wen Jingran in front of her, A Chu thought to herself, "Wen Zhiyu is definitely more handsome."
Thinking this to himself, he put on a puzzled expression and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean."
Wen Jingran thought she was saying that because she was afraid of being exposed.
He expressed his understanding: "This is really not the right place to talk about these things. Do you have time tomorrow?"
"I remember back in high school, you liked to eat at a snack stall in the alley next to the school. I miss those times too. Do you want to go eat there together again?"
Achu frowned slightly: "Wen Jingran, as Xueyao's boyfriend, isn't it inappropriate for you to ask me out?"
Mentioning Nangong Xueyao, Wen Jingran's expression turned cold: "Don't mention her, I've already decided to break up with her!"
Achu was surprised: "Break up? Why? Weren't you two doing well?"
Wen Jingran looked around but didn't see any crew members or cameras.
He then said, "Ever since Grandpa's birthday banquet, her attitude towards me has clearly cooled down, but I didn't think much of it at the time."
“Until these last two days, wherever you and Wen Zhiyu go, she insists on dragging me along too.”
“You know my relationship with Wen Zhiyu, I’ve always disliked him.”
"But I thought Yao... Nangong Xueyao wanted to get along with you, so I tolerated it."
"During that time, although I felt that her attitude towards Wen Zhiyu was a bit strange, I didn't think much of it."
“But do you know what I just saw? I saw Nangong Xueyao stop Wen Zhiyu and talk to him alone.”
"Don't think Wen Zhiyu is some kind of gentleman. He's quite pleased with Nangong Xueyao's flattery!"
Nangong Xueyao, who was secretly taking pictures, was a little surprised that Wen Jingran had lied!
But it's probably for the best that Ah Chu misunderstood.
It would be best if this misunderstanding prevented her and Wen Zhiyu from being together!
At that time, we might be able to take advantage of the situation.
A Chu looked at Wen Jingran, not believing what he said. Wen Zhiyu was quite pleased with Nangong Xueyao's flattery.
There is still some trust in them.
She just thought Wen Jingran's face of slandering others was disgusting, and that he wasn't a good person!
Ah Chu didn't reveal a word of what she was thinking, but on the surface she pretended to believe it.
But he said aloud, "Impossible! Let's not even talk about how Xueyao isn't that kind of person, Ayu isn't either!"
Wen Jingran shook his head: "Chuchu, you're still too naive."
"Believe me, I would never lie to you."
Achu lifted her foot to leave, but said, "I want to ask Ayu myself!"
Wen Jingran quickly grabbed her: "If you ask him, he definitely won't admit it!"
"Chuchu, Wen Zhiyu is no pushover. He was able to gain my grandfather's approval and be chosen as his successor just because he was an illegitimate child. This shows how cunning he is!"
Achu shook off Wen Jingran's hand: "Wen Zhiyu is your uncle after all. He was able to become the heir of the Wen family because he is capable enough."
"Being cunning isn't a bad thing, as long as he doesn't harm anyone!"
Wen Jingran was somewhat angry to see A Chu defending Wen Zhiyu like this.
"Do you look up to him and look down on me just because he became the heir of the Wen family?"
His tone was somewhat gloomy.
Achu: "I look down on you because you speak ill of others behind their backs."
"Wen Jingran, you've changed."
"I still remember when I was in my first year of high school, I was locked in an abandoned textbook room. When I was panicked and helpless, you appeared and opened the door for me."
At that time, Wen Jingran stood against the light, and his whole person seemed to be shining, leaving a mark on the fragile and helpless A Chu's heart.
Now, the crushes from my youth have become a 'criminal record'.
Achu continued, "I still remember when someone deliberately pushed me down the stairs, it was you who carried me to the infirmary."
“I remember when I was being bullied in a corner, it was you who appeared and severely criticized those people.”
"When did you become like this?"
Achu's disappointed words reminded Wen Jingran of those days.
Looking into her clear, bright eyes, Wen Jingran felt ashamed.
He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Finally, he picked up his suitcase and quickly left.
A Chu turned around and watched Wen Jingran's departing figure, feeling rather flustered as if she were fleeing.
She stood still, seemingly lost in some memories.
Then Nangong Xueyao's voice rang out from behind: "Sister, your acting is really good!"
Achu turned around and saw Nangong Xueyao.
There were no cameras or outsiders around, so Nangong Xueyao dropped her disguise.
Wearing a mask for too long can get tiring.
"Haven't you always liked Jingran? How about I give him to you?"
A Chu's face showed none of the feigned affection she usually displayed; instead, she looked at Nangong Xueyao coldly with a look of disgust.
"So what Wen Jingran said is true? Because Ayu was chosen as the heir by Old Master Wen, you changed your target?"
Nangong Xueyao readily admitted, "So what if it is?"
Achu: "Ayu is not Wen Jingran."
Nangong Xueyao chuckled softly: "Good sister, have you forgotten? If I want it, there's nothing I can't get."
Achu sneered, "How could I forget? Didn't you take my parents, my brother, and my younger brother away?"
Nangong Xueyao recalled her victory with Achu and felt a surge of pride.
The look in Ah Chu's eyes was also full of contempt.
"How could it be considered a robbery? It's just that you were unlucky and were switched at birth. Your parents and I have cultivated a relationship for twelve years, so of course they'll favor me!"
