PMWAIAAPM Chapter 17

Chapter 17

Xing Yang didn’t expect that Secretary Wang, who usually appeared so quiet, could say something so philosophical.

It made sense; Xing Yang thought the words were quite reasonable.

He never felt that Mr. Tan’s personality was spoiled or his words sharp. Growing up in the palm of everyone’s hand, he had everything he wanted, looked beautiful, and had everything taken care of. Marking himself as an omega, which didn’t align with his own wishes, was quite disgusting for an alpha.

Because he understood, he was willing to be forgiving.

Between them, except in bed, the alpha was more like a cute and delicate wife.

“Then what’s a good way to make him less angry?”

Secretary Wang was somewhat puzzled. He had always been responsible for the boss’s work and life but had never heard of the boss having any excessive contact with anyone.

Is something blooming from a steel tree here?

“Sending flowers or gifts, say a few sweet words? But apologizing is the simplest and most direct approach.” Secretary Wang was earnestly sharing his insights, but he was unwilling to easily disclose any personal tricks like kneeling on a keyboard or a washboard.

Xing Yang naturally knew that apologizing was straightforward.

But he had no idea what had offended him in the first place.

Was it because of the kiss last night?

He must have really looked like a pervert to the alpha…

He had seen the beautiful actresses on TV who acted alongside Mr. Tan.

For a moment, Boss Xing suddenly felt dissatisfied with his own face. If he were a bit prettier, perhaps he wouldn’t be so disliked.

Just thinking about it made him feel a headache. He didn’t even finish listening to Secretary Wang’s report and instead had him order milk tea and small cakes, then personally went to buy flowers. Red roses were hard to find, so he bought warm sunflowers.

Representing a pleasant collaboration.

–

Thus, as a scene had just finished shooting.

“Mr. Xing is treating everyone to milk tea!” The deputy director shouted.

The crew members, just having a break, came over to pick up their drinks: “Wow, it’s still from the Zero Degree store; this place is super delicious!!”

“This is Mr. Xing’s store,” someone joked.

Although Xing Yang’s real estate business was the most successful, he also had investments in other fields. The hottest dessert shops in the capital actually belonged to brands under Xing Yang’s company.

“Can’t tell, Mr. Xing is such a cold person, yet he shows interest in sweets~”

“He’s a businessman; who cares what he likes or dislikes as long as it makes money?”

“True.”

However, Zero Degree is considered a premium place among dessert shops. Just a small cake costs a three-digit number, and one type of cheesecake ice cream was frequently out of stock during spring and summer.

Today, everyone got one portion, along with milk tea.

“Mr. Xing, are you here to check on my performance?” Jiang Cheng, still in costume, ran over with a big grin, hugging his neck like a clingy koala.

“Oh wow~ I didn’t believe the news a few days ago, but since Brother Jiang doesn’t mind his image, I’m shipping it!!”

Jiang Cheng proudly lifted his face, beaming: “I’m Brother Xing’s person; I can ship freely.”

Cheers erupted around them.

Xing Yang wanted to push him away and straighten out his wrinkled suit: “You’re a performer; keep an eye on your image.” He sounded somewhat helpless.

But Jiang Cheng’s nature was always like this. He playfully noticed the small cake in Xing Yang’s hand: “Is it for me?”

“No…”

It was specifically brought to please his wife.

“Brother Xing, you’re so nice.”

Xing Yang: “……”

Jiang Cheng knew the cake was meant for Tan Zhiyu, yet he didn’t allow this person to eat it.

He leaned closer to Xing Yang and whispered, “What status does he hold? The makeup room is private, you know. Brother Xing, you’re in a marriage of convenience; he doesn’t care about you. Why not pamper me? Look, even my family doesn’t like me acting, and I haven’t had anyone visit me on set for so long…”

The way he spoke made it sound like he was an unloved child.

Xing Yang: “…..”

“You’re in a marriage of convenience; it’s not good to disturb him all the time.”

Jiang Cheng seriously dug into the cake, bringing the soft and sweet pastry to his mouth: “You don’t know, just now while filming the scene opposite him, he even told the staff he’s on a shaping plan. Sending him these things is just annoying! Besides, from an outsider’s perspective, your relationship doesn’t seem good, right? Don’t send it. If others find out about your relationship, wouldn’t it be exposed?”

“Really?” Xing Yang was skeptical: “But I also brought flowers…”

“What flowers?”

“Sunflowers.”

“Oh, then I’ll ask someone to take it in. He should be finishing his makeup soon.” Jiang Cheng smiled even wider upon learning it wasn’t roses and happily draped his arm around Xing Yang’s shoulder: “Let’s go, Brother Xing, accompany me to read the script for a bit.”

On the other side, Tan Zhiyu, just finishing filming, sat in his van, exuding an intimidating aura.

Clearly, everyone had a share of the treats.

But the sweet-toothed Tan Zhiyu saw not only an empty table but also a large bouquet of sunflowers representing friendship and almost flipped the table.

What does this mean from Xing Yang?

Is he looking to divorce?!

Why does everyone else have a small cake while he doesn’t???

In the private makeup room, he stood up and looked outside, seeing Xing Yang being pulled onto another van by that little brat Jiang Cheng, holding a cake that was different from everyone else’s.

Tan Zhiyu’s gaze swept over, sending a chill through him, and Jiang Cheng felt it; he turned back and waved at him from afar before closing the van door.

Tan Zhiyu: “！！！！”
