Back in the apartment, Xinran tiredly collapsed onto the living room sofa. Her head ached, her feet hurt, and her heart was in turmoil. Dong Shan Zhong's appearance had left her feeling lost; not only because of his confession but also due to him buying the play from Chen Dao for her, as well as the rumors that might arise from their time together at the hospital today. Tomorrow might bring a storm, and it seemed she should seek refuge with Augus. Would his fans turn against her? She was genuinely worried!
"Summer, what happened to your foot?" Jerry walked into Xinran's apartment and immediately saw her lying on the sofa with her foot wrapped in bandages.
"I got tripped by someone and caught on the table leg," Xinran replied weakly.
"How could you be tripped for no reason? Didn't you go to Set Audition today?" Jerry asked, confused. He walked over to the sofa, pulled Xinran into his embrace, and this intimate gesture felt as natural to them as picking up chopsticks for a meal. Jerry's broad chest had been Xinran's comfort for many years.
"Yes, but I offended the female lead in the play because of my identity, so I got reprimanded!"
"You mean Carman Gu Jialan? What about your identity offended her? I never expected her to be so arrogant; didn't the media say she was easy to get along with?" Jerry raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Fan Jierui, is this your first day as a manager? Can you trust what the media says? If I could trust them, I wouldn't be Augus's girlfriend!" Xinran suddenly jumped out of Jerry's embrace, raising her eyebrows and glaring at him.
"So, Gu Jialan reprimanded you because you're Augus's girlfriend?" Jerry suddenly chuckled softly, finding this reason amusing. He initially held back his laughter but soon couldn't stop himself from laughing heartily.
"No sympathy!" Xinran shot Jerry a glare and coldly said, "Fan Jierui, I plan to withdraw from Diamond Absolute Love. Please help me explain to Chen Dao tomorrow!"
"What? You're going to... withdraw?" Jerry abruptly stopped laughing, his expression changing dramatically as he asked in shock.
"Yes, withdraw!"
"Why? Isn't acting in Chen Dao's play your long-held dream? You're going to give up such a great opportunity just because Gu Jialan reprimanded you? Summer, you're not that kind of person; you used to..."
"Stop! Jerry, this time I have to give up, but it's not because of Gujialan! If it were just for her, I wouldn't give up. However, if you want me to explain the reason, just wait for tomorrow's headlines in Gossip Weekly's entertainment section. I really don't know how to explain! Or, if you're eager to know the reason and can't wait until tomorrow, call Nandi now. I'm sure he can explain it clearly!" Xinran kept talking and then collapsed onto the sofa. She understood clearly that in order to distance herself from that man, she really couldn't take Chen Dao's role.
If we're talking about regret and unwillingness, she regretted more than anyone else and felt more unwilling than anyone else. But having such a man appear in her life for no reason was something she couldn't reverse. This situation was even more troublesome than having a rivalry with the Xia sisters.
"You can be on the front page again?" Jerry's eyes widened in surprise as he asked. He didn't expect his little summer to be so hardworking. Given her current position, having news about her is actually a good thing.
"I hope tomorrow you won't go crazy and will still have this expression! By the way, the doctor said my foot needs to rest for a few days, so I won't be going out tomorrow. If you can break through the paparazzi's encirclement, remember to bring me takeout; otherwise, just come here to collect my body..." Xinran said with a sleepy smile before closing her eyes and falling asleep.
Jerry looked at the little woman on the sofa and shook his head helplessly. He picked her up and carried her to the bed in the bedroom, adjusted her pillow, tucked her in, and then turned to leave.
