Xiao Jingxi's expression changed as he finally realized he had said the wrong thing.
He instinctively tried to argue.
"No, my foot just slipped..."
"Your foot slipped? Who'd believe that?"
Lai Bingxuan rolled her eyes, delivering another perfect assist. "I saw you veer sideways while you were walking and deliberately bump into Shen Yeqing. Just admit it. Were you trying to get back at him?"
Xiao Jingxi's breathing grew heavier with anger. "I have no grudge against him. What would I be getting back at him for?"
Lai Bingxuan refused to indulge him. "No grudge? Do you even believe that yourself? You're just jealous that he's close to Xie Mi. Who are you trying to fool?"
Xiao Jingxi said, "I'm not that petty!"
"Wait."
While the two kept arguing, Xie Mi suddenly narrowed her eyes, her gaze growing increasingly shrewd.
"Now that you mention it, back in the car, you randomly said you hadn't rested well and kept your hand on Old Shen's shoulder for ages. Now you're deliberately getting right up in front of him."
"If you're not trying to get back at him over some grudge, then could it be..."
She slowly turned to Xiao Jingxi, her sharp gaze seeming to see through everything.
"You want to get people shipping you with him!"
"Pfft-"
At those words, Director Niu, who had hurried over to watch the drama, spat out a mouthful of water.
All the crew members widened their eyes, their horrified expressions practically screaming, "Oh my God, are you allowed to say that?"
[She said it for us!!!]
[I knew Old Xie had guts, but I didn't know she had THIS much guts.]
[Is this really something I'm hearing in Chinese entertainment?]
[She just said it out loud like that??]
[Old Xie, you are my god!!]
