Love Comes After Marriage novel Chapter 650

As it was late at night, An Zihao did not go to Chen Xingyan and Annie's apartment. He instead told Chen Xingyan about the changes over the phone so she could be prepared, in case 'The Savage Wars' was sly enough to announce the changes publicly and shock her.

But, An Zihao didn't know how to tell her. As soon as he opened his mouth, all he could say was, "Have you ever been replaced for no reason when you were an extra?"

Chen Xingyan was smart. From An Zihao's tone of voice, she could tell what he was hiding, so the corners of her lips twitched as she asked, "Can I still trust you as my manager? How could a simple action role be replaced?"

"A representative called me directly to say that they were replacing you. In fact, they completely overthrew the contract we had already signed. I'm assuming someone ordered them to do so. I haven't looked for the producers yet, so you should be prepared for the worst."

"I don't know if this incident is an attack on you or me. So, be careful."

Chen Xingyan lay in her bed and rolled her eyes. She may not have many strong points, but she had experienced many ups and downs. Even if she got replaced, she would not feel defeated like Annie.

"That's why I refused to film an American sci-fi film. How could the Americans be trusted?"

"Think of it as experience. Although I don't like the Americans either, I can't deny that they are, in some ways, better than us." After speaking, An Zihao remembered the pain around his hip bone, "By the way, did you kick me yesterday?"

"Yes, I kicked you!" Chen Xingyan revealed straightforwardly. "Did I forget to tell you that I hold grudges?"

"An Zihao, you are very fortunate that I only kicked you three times. I've already noted down the way you've angered me."

An Zihao let out a gentle laugh. His head hurt because of Chen Xingyan; it was too hard to determine her motive and thoughts.

But, it was fine...

Because, taming a person like this was exciting and challenging.

...

Chen Xingyan answered her phone while she was in the dining room, so Annie practically heard her entire conversation with An Zihao. After all, Chen Xingyan had never been a secretive person, so she never considered keeping her voice down when talking.

"Have you been replaced?" Annie stood in front of the dining table with a glass of milk. Of course, she wouldn't easily give up on a chance to mock Chen Xingyan.

"Yep, I've been replaced. Your wish has come true," Chen Xingyan wasn't upset nor discouraged as she looked at Annie calmly.

"You're not upset?"

"It depends who I'm facing," Chen Xingyan smiled.

"Xingyan, I don't have another meaning to my words..."

"It doesn't matter whether you do or not."

"Since it doesn't matter, let's have a drink to celebrate our losses."

Chen Xingyan thought she had expressed herself clearly: she did not want to talk to Annie anymore. But, Annie ended up approaching her with a wine glass and a bottle of wine. In fact, it was a fairly expensive bottle of red wine.

"This bottle of red wine was prepared by my father to celebrate me securing the role in 'The Savage Wars', but..." Annie explained as she filled Chen Xingyan's wine glass.

Chen Xingyan did not respond at first. Was she kidding? From an early age she had already learned to be wary of others. So, she pretended not to accept Annie's offer and remained seated on the sofa.

Annie appeared relaxed. She did not care what Chen Xingyan was thinking as she picked up her wine glass and inhaled the drink.

After making sure that Annie was fine, Chen Xingyan finally took a small sip.

The two women did not say a word as they took turns drinking from their glass. By the time midnight came around, they were both already on the floor, still holding onto their glasses with flushed cheeks.

Chen Xingyan was an average drinker. Whenever she drank, her body would quickly heat up.
