The Best Actor's Courtship: Miss Scriptwriter, Please Love Me! Chapter 52 Why Do You Like Xiao Xi

Tong Nan had been living overseas for a few years. In addition, her mother was an American. Hence, her thinking was not as conservative as local girls. In response to Gong Yu's straightforward rejection, not only did she not flare up or break down into tears; she seemed to not be bothered at all. She stood up and spoke in a confirmative voice. "It's okay, as long as you know that I like you, that's enough. It doesn't matter that you don't like me now, I believe that one day you'll fall in love with me! I also know that you might be interested in sister Xiao Xi, but she had assured me that she does not want to think about personal relationships at all. She also said that you're not her cup of tea, so it's impossible for you guys to get together. The best way to cure a breakup is to get into a new relationship. Isn't it a good choice to get together with me? I can help you to forget about that bitter one-sided love and make you fall in love with me! Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"

Instantly, Gong Yu became even more furious because Tong Nan was so full of herself and the line "She also said that you're not her cup of tea, so it's impossible for you guys to get together".

This sentence pushed against his tolerance limit and triggered him. Immediately, he exploded in anger.

He rose up suddenly and took big strides towards Tong Nan. There was a tint harshness in his icy cold gaze. With one swift move, he grabbed onto her lower jaw. He was exerting so much strength he almost crushed her lower jaw.

Tong Nan was terrified at his fierce state. Her voice trembled with fear. "Gong Yu, what...what are you doing..."

Gong Yu pronounced each word clearly and coldly, "I'm warning you, don't spout nonsense. I might just strangle you to death! You are in no position to comment on me and Xiao Xi's relationship. Besides, no matter what happens between me and her, I only have eyes for her, you're the one that's impossible!"

After that, he pushed her away harshly. Ton Nan fell onto the sofa and looked at him with a faltered gaze. Finally, tears began to fill in her eyes. Feeling wronged, she broke into tears with a loud 'waa'.

This move of hers was too alarming, the duo in the kitchen got a shock. Yun Muxi and Gu Yuxuan came running out. All they saw was Gong Yu sitting on the sofa with a cold expression. His aura was icy cold and his expression was sullen. Niannian looked at Gong Yu and Tong Nan with a confused look.

Tong Nan was causing the biggest chaos. Sitting on the sofa, she leaned her head backward and bawled like a child. Her display of being wronged made people's heart ache for her.

Yun Muxi frowned slightly and took two pieces of tissue before passing them to Tong Nan. She asked softly, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly crying?"

Tong Nan was having a hard time speaking while crying and Gong Yu was as silent as a huge iceberg. Lost and confused, Niannian explained, "Aunt Tong Nan seemed to have said something that upset Daddy Yu, he became very angry. I was drawing so I didn't hear what they said! I don't know how Daddy Yu made Aunt Tong Nan cry!"

Yun Muxi stared at Gong Yu and scolded, "Gong Yu, you're a big man, why can't you let Tong Nan have her own ways!"

Facing Yun Muxi's accusations, Gong Yu instantly felt much wronged too. He lifted his head and questioned with his brows furrowed, "Why don't you ask her what she did before you come and question me!"

Yun Muxi knew Tong Nan's character and instantly guessed that she must have triggered him. Gong Yu was not the kind to bother about arguing with women. When facing situations like this, he would usually keep a stiff expression and tried to stay far away out of respect. He must have been extremely furious to cause such a scene. On the other hand, Tong Nan was a girl. While Yun Muxi felt bad for Gong Yu, she continued to reprimand him, "You are a man, you should give way to women no matter what. Now that you've made her cry, you should apologize to her."

Gong Yu instantly felt like flaring up again. He stood up suddenly and stared at Yun Muxi. He was going to flare at her but eventually contained himself. Taking big strides, he walked past Yun Muxi towards the door, not forgetting to slam it behind him!

Gong Yu's move scared Tong Nan so much, she stopped crying. Instantly, the room became eerily silent and the atmosphere was very strange.

Troubled, Yun Muxi rubbed against her mid-brows. She said in a soft voice, "Okay, Xiao Nan, go and wash your face. We can eat soon!"

Then, she turned and said to Niannian, "Niannian, stop drawing. Go wash your hands quickly, we can eat soon!"

Gu Yuxuan saw the whole scene and shooked her head without saying a word. She predicted that this was just the beginning of everything, there would be more to come!

Gu Yuxuan helped Yun Muxi to bring out the dishes and called Niannian to the dining table. As if having all of her energy sucked away, Tong Nan leaned on the dining table restlessly. She was nowhere near her energetic self when she first entered.

Seeing Tong Nan like this, Yun Muxi could not take it anymore. She comforted, "Xiao Nan, stop being sad, Gong Yu is a big iceberg like that. His temper cannot be messed with. Dig in, I made your favorite braised pork ribs!"

Tong Nan sat up instantly and her eyes lit up. She said with much confidence, "Yes, you're right! This is not my character! I am unbeatable, I will never stop trying!" "Conquer this iceberg!"

In a little bar in the city.

Mou Yichen reached out his hand and handed Lu Yang a bottle of beer. He asked in a low voice, "Can you drink?"

Lu Yang responded in a flat voice, "Are you kidding? Which soldier can't drink?"

Mou Yichen brows went up. Surprised, he asked, "Oh? You're a soldier?"

Lu Yang nodded. "Air force!"

Mou Yichen took a sip and asked with confusion, "How did you meet Xiao Xi?"

Lu Yang lifted the bottle and took a sip. "A few days ago, I'm not sure what happened to Xiao Xi but I saw her trying to cross the road absent-mindedly. I was just passing by when she was almost hit by a car and I saved her. That's how I met her! I feel like she has this kind of purity that many other girls don't have. I immediately fell for her. I really like her. Although we've just met, I can't control myself falling for her. I'm actually surprised that I would be so into her, she's the first girl that I've ever fallen for."

Mou Yichen heard and raised his brows. Lu Yang was very honest, which made Mou Yichen pay more attention. He sat up and leaned forward. Stretching out his right hand, he introduced himself. "Mou Yichen!"

Lu Yang glanced at him and nodded as he shook his hand. Lu Yang went deep into thoughts for a second and asked after a while, "Mou Yichen? The Mou Yichen of Mou's Group?"

Mou Yichen was surprised that Lu Yang knew his identity. Soldiers usually did not pay too much attention to the business world. Furthermore, he only gained attention recently when he took over the group. Hence, there were not many people outside the business world who knew about his identity.

Mou Yichen took a sip and nodded. After thinking about it, he voiced his question, "You know me?"

Lu Yang smiled. He gave a toast to Mou Yichen. After taking a sip, he answered, "The Master Mou of Mou's Group has caused quite a sensation in the business world recently. Of course I know about you! I just never thought that someone like you would like the ordinary Xiao Xi."

Mou Yichen slightly squinted his eyes. Slightly disturbed, he said, "Xiao Xi is not ordinary at all! She is the best girl that I've ever seen! Since high school, her glow has been infinite and even today, she is shining even more brightly!"

Lu Yang's gaze froze. He stared at Mou Yichen. "Oh?"

A thought flashed past Mou Yichen's brain. He studied Lu Yang carefully. Seeing his eyes and brows, he instantly confirmed his suspicion and asked boldly, "You! Are you the second son of the Lu family?"

Lu Yang froze. He choked on his sip of beer and started coughing violently after putting it down. Lifting his gaze, he stared into Mou Yichen's eyes and asked, "You know me?"

Mou Yichen answered lightly, "Because you are so sure of who I am. An ordinary soldier wouldn't be so clear of the things happening in the business world. That's why I began to feel suspicious. After looking carefully, I realized that your eyes and brows resemble Uncle Lu, so I guessed that you're a son of the Lu Family. There are only three sons in the Lu Family, your big brother was my classmate, I know him. Your younger brother is only 20, so your age doesn't match. Naturally, you must be the second son."

Lu Yang nodded and laughed softly. He was now in admiration of Mou Yichen. Lifting up his beer, he said, "You're indeed the genius Master Mou of the business world, your brain is really something else! You managed to guess my identity with so little clues, you can be a detective!" He then changed the subject and asked, "But who is this Gong Yu?"

Upon hearing Gong Yu's name, Mou Yichen's face became sullen. Gong Yu was actually his biggest enemy and they could never tolerate each other's temper. He was not like Lu Yang, whom Mou Yichen could actually sit down and chat with over a drink, even though they were love rivals. It would be not bad if Mou Yichen and Gong Yu did not end up in a fight!

Mou Yichen was a little troubled. He spoke in a low voice. "I do not know much about Gong Yu, I only know that he's an actor who rose to fame after starring in an ancient drama. He got a big award after his first show and went to develop his career in Korea afterward. But his career did not go too well these few years, he isn't as popular as before. Once his contract ended, he returned home. The first show he took up after that is the one that Xiao Xi is writing now. Gong Yu is the male lead. Initially, Xiao Xi is just a writer, but I'm not sure what happened, the director made her the female lead. Actually, Xiao Xi is a genius, there's nothing that she's not good at, so it isn't strange that she can act. But it just so happens that she is the female lead opposing Gong Yu, which made the whole thing a little weird. It seems like Gong Yu is not a simple character. Besides, it seems like there's something between the two of them that nobody else knows about. I don't know the specific details."

Lu Yang listened to Mou Yichen's explanation patiently. An alarm went off in his heart. "It seems like my love rivals are all not easy to deal with!" Mou Yichen was a business genius and had a rich family background and history. Although Lu Yang did not have much information about Gong Yu, based on what he heard from Mou Yichen, Gong Yu did not sound like an easy opponent. It seemed like this fight would not be easy.

Lu Yang continued asking, "Then why do you like Xiao Xi?"
