Chapter 2016: He Has Become a Hot Commodity

The woman knew who Wei Yangyang was talking to on the phone, and this discovery made her very unhappy.

While speaking, the woman was also very blunt: "What, my orders to you don't count, is that it!"

"Correct."

"You..."

"This lady, the one who signed the agreement with me is Yi Xiang. If there are any changes to be made, he needs to be the one to notify me."

"Hmph, you're just a staff member, what are you putting on airs for! Treating a feather as a command arrow!"

After the woman finished speaking, she seemed to think of something.

The next second, she looked Wei Yangyang up and down and said with a guarded expression: "Don't tell me, you're also setting your sights on Yi Xiang?"

"Why would I set my sights on him?"

"Because Yi Xiang, he..."

The woman had intended to say something, but closed her lips in time.

After her eyes darted around, she looked at Wei Yangyang haughtily and said: "Even if you set your sights on him, you don't stand a chance!"

Wei Yangyang completely lost the patience to communicate with this person.

Really, what exactly was she being so high and mighty about?

Wei Yangyang turned her head to speak with Lao Qin.

Seeing that she had actually been ignored, the woman's eyes widened, and she grabbed Wei Yangyang's arm.

She wanted to teach Wei Yangyang a lesson.

But...

"What are you doing!?"

A gloomy voice came from behind the woman.

The woman's fingers trembled, and she let go of Wei Yangyang involuntarily.

When she turned back, she saw a face that was handsome beyond measure!

This person was a completely different style from Yi Xiang.

He was more mature and also had more charisma.

Yet...

He was also fiercer.

Li Xingyan saw that this woman wanted to lay a hand on Wei Yangyang, so the expression on his face was naturally very fierce.

He used his body to block Wei Yangyang, and then asked with a cold expression: "Who are you, and what are you trying to do to Wei Yangyang?"

Seeing that Li Xingyan had an impressive air and was dressed in designer brands, the woman switched to a friendly attitude and said: "This lady's hearing isn't very good, so I grabbed her to speak to her carefully."

This excuse sounded very fake the moment it was heard.

Li Xingyan didn't pay any more attention to her, but instead asked Wei Yangyang: "Is she here to cause you trouble?"

"I'm not quite sure, but she said she is a friend of Yi Xiang."

"Just because she's a friend of Yi Xiang, she can lay a hand on you?"

The woman didn't want to leave an image of being hot-tempered in front of a handsome man, so she hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean to lay a hand on her, you misunderstood! I..."

She had wanted to take the opportunity to get to know the handsome man.

But Li Xingyan didn't even wait for her to finish speaking before he dragged Wei Yangyang away.

The woman stood on the spot and stomped her feet.

Wei Yangyang, meanwhile, sighed helplessly.

Sigh, she still had things she hadn't said to Lao Qin.

It looked like she would just have to explain them over the phone in a while.

While Wei Yangyang was lost in thought, she was dragged by Li Xingyan to the path outside the villa.

Without that noisy and pretentious voice around, Li Xingyan felt the world was fresh again.

He took a deep breath, and then asked Wei Yangyang: "What exactly is going on?"

"It's just the situation I mentioned earlier. Oh, that woman seems to really want to curry favor with Yi Xiang."

Wei Yangyang felt that the incident just now was just a small interlude.

It had nothing to do with her, nor with Li Xingyan.

But Li Xingyan didn't think so.

He hesitated for a moment, then said: "Someone leaked Yi Xiang's identity. He has now become a hot commodity, so naturally, people want to suck up to him and get close."

"Oh."

"He is the son of a shipping tycoon, and also the younger brother of Yi Lingluo."

"Oh."

"Your reaction... why is it so indifferent?"

Wei Yangyang raised her eyes and said: "The friends around me all have impressive backgrounds; I'm used to it."

"Who has an impressive background?"

Li Xingyan frowned, worried that Wei Yangyang had made friends with some other figure.

And then turned them into a stumbling block on his own path of romance.

But Wei Yangyang said: "You, Tiantian, Xie Wanyi."

Hmm...

Realizing he had overthought things, Li Xingyan slowly relaxed.

Wei Yangyang did not notice Li Xingyan's inner turmoil.

She curved her lips and said with a smile, "Tell me, what kind of good luck have I had? Everyone I know is powerful and influential."

"Actually, being able to know you is my good fortune as well."

When Li Xingyan said this, his voice was low and deep.

Wei Yangyang didn't hear it clearly, so she asked, "What did you say?"

"... It's just, do we make you feel pressured?"

Li Xingyan ultimately didn't have the nerve to repeat it, so he changed the sentence.

Wei Yangyang didn't suspect anything; she even thought about it seriously for a moment and replied, "I used to feel that way often, but now, only occasionally."

Occasionally?

Doesn't that mean...

A flash of darkness flickered in the depths of Li Xingyan's eyes.

But Wei Yangyang raised a smiling face and said, "It's normal to feel pressure. People have emotional fluctuations, after all. Someone who has no thoughts at all is a robot."

Wei Yangyang's demeanor was very open and honest.

And her frank admission made Li Xingyan feel that he had been overly cautious.

Li Xingyan's style of doing things was not the cautious and prudent type.

But once he encountered Wei Yangyang, he became anxious about gains and losses.

He didn't like this state.

Yet he was helpless against it.

Taking a long breath, Li Xingyan looked toward the direction of the villa.

At this moment, that woman should still be inside acting bossy.

Thinking of that woman...

Li Xingyan asked Wei Yangyang, "That woman was rude to you; are you still angry?"

"Mm, a little."

That person actually pointed fingers at her design; Wei Yangyang couldn't really stand it!

And hearing this, Li Xingyan narrowed his eyes slightly.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed across the bottom of his eyes.

Because Wei Yangyang was looking at Li Xingyan, she noticed his change in emotion this time.

This change made Wei Yangyang's heart skip a beat!

Wei Yangyang hurriedly asked, "What are you trying to do?"

"That person made you unhappy."

"And then?"

"Of course, I'll teach her a lesson!"

Sigh, as expected...

Wei Yangyang sighed, then said, "I was just venting; you don't have to take it seriously."

Li Xingyan couldn't help but take it seriously.

Not only did he take it seriously, but he also lobbied Wei Yangyang: "Don't worry, I'll handle it very discreetly; even after that woman suffers, she won't suspect you!"

Wei Yangyang raised her hand and rubbed her forehead.

She said helplessly, "I know your methods, but if you take action this time, I won't dare to speak my mind in front of you in the future!"

Li Xingyan was stunned: "Why?"

"Because a casual complaint can make you act like you're facing a formidable enemy; what else would I dare to say? I know you care about me, but you really don't need to be so overly cautious."

Wei Yangyang tilted her head up and looked at Li Xingyan with a sincere expression.

She hoped Li Xingyan could take her words to heart.

After a moment of silence, Li Xingyan admitted defeat.

He said, "I understand."

This answer made Wei Yangyang immediately raise a smiling face.

Her smile was very relaxed.

Watching her like this, Li Xingyan unconsciously curled his lips.

But Li Xingyan's calmness was only on the surface.

Deep down, he was extremely annoyed.

He felt he had performed very poorly; not only did he fail to help Wei Yangyang, but he had made her nervous instead...

Wei Yangyang did not know what Li Xingyan was thinking.

Li Beijue's expression sank in an instant, and he radiated a chill that kept everyone at a distance.
