Chapter 55: Don't call the shots

Xi Zirui couldn't have timed it better. 

He misses his fan, from back when he was Xi-fei. It would come in handy to hide his smug smirk.

As it stands he has to recall his days as Xi Zirui - heartthrob actor - and plaster on an airy smile. "Oh I'm sorry, did someone get hurt?"

Feeding off Xi Zirui's convenient excuse, Su Xueyi smiles broadly and says. "Ah, yes, Mr. Cao skinned his knee and I was just helping him disinfect the wound." Su Xueyi pats Cao Fei on the back like they're old buddies. "All better now."

Cao Fei ducks his head and climbs off the table. "Uh, thank you sir. I'll be on my way now."

Red as a tomato, he rushes past Xi Zirui and out of the office.

The most surprising thing about this whole thing is that Su Xueyi is cheating on him with Cao Fei, and not someone flashier. Cao Fei is more of an understated beauty, so to speak.

"Is Host calling him ugly?" Ni Ni pipes up, nosy as usual.
