Chapter 2031: I Also Really Want to Fall in Love

The more Li Xingyan thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

Wei Yangyang noticed his agitation and gently stroked his back with her small hand.

Over here, Wei Yangyang was gently coaxing the bristling Li Xingyan.

And over there, Jiang Motian was tilting her head, staring at Xie Wanyi with sparkling eyes.

Because her gaze was too dazzling, Xie Wanyi couldn't help but stop and turn his head to ask, "What's wrong?"

"I suddenly think you're so handsome!"

Jiang Motian did not hide her emotions at all; her attitude in expressing her love was fiery.

Xie Wanyi slowly curled his lips and then asked, "Why suddenly? Isn't it that I've always been handsome?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it was a slip of the tongue."

"Since it was a slip of the tongue, then there must be a punishment."

Saying this, Xie Wanyi lightly pecked her red lips.

The sweet interaction between the two made Li Moning feel a bit unable to watch.

While looking away, she sighed again, "So my sister is also very good at coaxing people."

Su Kexuan said, "Women in love all have this skill to some extent."

Women in love...

Li Moning pouted her red lips and muttered, "I also really want to fall in love."

Su Kexuan laughed upon hearing this; she tapped Li Moning's forehead and said, "Little sister, you had better focus on your studies."

"I will study hard, but if I meet the right person, I will also bravely pursue them!"

Li Moning's brave statement made Su Kexuan unable to help but ask, "Is falling in love that good?"

"Of course... hey, actually I don't know either, I've never been in love."

Li Moning muttered a sentence, and then she realized something.

She was seen staring at Su Kexuan with a smile, asking, "Judging by what you said, you've never been in love either?"

"Nope."

"Then aren't you anxious?"

"What's there to be anxious about? Isn't it better to use the time spent on dating to make money?"

"But why do you earn so much money? You can't even spend it all."

"Because I like watching the numbers in my account get longer and longer, and longer and longer..."

When Su Kexuan said this, she even had an intoxicated expression on her face.

It was clear that she really liked making money.

But this kind of hobby... Li Moning truly could not understand it.

Inside the office, Yi Xiang's manager spread out a document and some photos in front of him.

Then, he introduced with a smile, "This advertisement is a collaboration with a popular star! The other party even specifically requested to work with you! Such a great opportunity..."

"I refuse."

Yi Xiang interrupted the manager, and his words made the manager feel as if he were hallucinating.

He paused for a moment before asking, "What did you just say?"

"I said, I refuse."

"No, why are you refusing? This is such a good opportunity! The other party is a big star with very high popularity!"

The manager became more agitated as he spoke, and in the end, his voice even cracked from shouting.

But Yi Xiang remained unmoved, and he said, "I don't want to be too tired."

If someone else had said such a thing, the manager would definitely have cursed them out.

But the person in front of him was not only currently popular but also had a strong background.

The manager could neither scold nor hit him; he could only coax him.

Taking a deep breath, the manager then persuaded him with a smile, "You are still young and this is the time to strive. Rest? That's a matter for after retirement."

"Then I'll retire now."

"I say, you..."

The manager almost failed to control his temper and wanted to yell at Yi Xiang.

Fortunately, he held it back in time, squeezed his fist, and then spoke with a ferocious smile, "You were so desperate before, what's wrong this time?"

Hearing the manager mention the past, Yi Xiang felt a bit dazed.

Then, he asked the manager a question: "Do you know why I wanted to become famous?"

"Because you have ambition!"

"No, because of a woman."

Because of a woman?

The manager vaguely guessed something.

Yi Xiang continued, "I worked hard to become shining because I wanted her to see me, but now..."

He gave a bitter smile and murmured, "She has already become someone else's girlfriend, so there is no point in me staying in this circle anymore."

These words... how do they sound like he's about to quit the industry!?

The manager swallowed his saliva and kindly advised, "So-called love is just hormones at work; only a career is reliable."

Yi Xiang did not speak.

"You are famous now, what kind of girls aren't around you? I won't restrict you, you can fall in love!"

Yi Xiang still did not speak.

"You, what exactly do you mean? Are you planning to retire from the industry?!"

This time, Yi Xiang reacted; he nodded slightly.

But the manager wished he hadn't reacted!

The manager irritably smoothed the hair on the top of his head.

Then he turned around abruptly, his voice impatient: "I don't agree! You signed a contract with the company!"

"I know. I will pay the breach of contract penalty—double, triple, whatever it takes."

Ha, truly rich and willful!

But this isn't just a matter of money!

The manager crouched beside Yi Xiang and said earnestly, "I have poured so much effort into you. I feel you will become a very great model! Yi Xiang, please, keep going!"

Faced with the manager's persuasion, Yi Xiang stopped talking again.

In this state, the two of them simply could not communicate.

Helpless, the manager could only endure the pain and make a decision: "I will decline this job for you. But I do not agree to you retiring from the industry. Go back and calm down first, then we'll talk again."

"No matter how many times we talk, the result will be the same."

After saying this, Yi Xiang stood up and left.

The manager propped his arms on the tabletop, lacking even the strength to be angry.

He knew for which woman Yi Xiang had become so disheartened.

If Yi Xiang liked a different woman, the manager would still have a way to appeal to her with reason and emotion.

Or use coercion and inducement.

But as it happens...

That person is Li Xingyan's girlfriend!

The manager really wanted to cry!

He is just an employee; he really cannot afford to serve these powerful and influential ancestors!

But complaints aside, in the end, the manager still sought out Wei Yangyang.

Using the excuse of discussing a collaboration, the manager arranged to meet her at a park.

Wei Yangyang was just about to say some opening remarks when she heard the manager introduce himself first: "I apologize for deceiving you on the phone; I am actually Yi Xiang's manager."

Wei Yangyang raised her eyebrows, her eyes filled with surprise.

The manager bit the bullet and spoke: "I am being presumptuous meeting you today, but I would like to ask a favor of you."

"What is it?"

"I want you to persuade Yi Xiang and tell him not to retire from the industry."

"He wants to retire?"

"Yes, Yi Xiang is very talented and has a bright future; it would be such a pity to leave the industry like this!"

That was indeed true; Yi Xiang's career path had only just begun to open up.

He had also put in a great deal of effort.

Leaving now would mean all his previous efforts would go down the drain.

Wei Yangyang frowned slightly and asked, "Everything was fine, so why retire?"

"Because he has lost his fighting spirit!"

Speaking of fighting spirit, the manager became a bit agitated.
