Chapter 1825: A Seamless Show of Affection

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya quickly placed her stone and smiled excitedly, “I won!”

When she looked up, she saw Han Zhuoling smiling at her, a warm and contented look in his eyes.

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya’s heart skipped a beat. “Don’t tell me you purposely let me win?”

“No. I didn’t notice it,” Han Zhuoling said, smiling.

“No.” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya was still very confident in Han Zhuoling. “Could you lose at this? That’s impossible. You couldn’t have possibly missed seeing through the trap I’d set with that stone. You definitely let me win on purpose.”

Han Zhuoling smiled and said, “Anyway, the chances of me coming to film for the show will be fewer next time. I don’t know if you will become a regular guest on the show, but who knows, right? If you become a regular guest, it’s better if you win this time.”

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya would not coyly turn down Han Zhuoling’s gracious act.

He willingly gave in to her like this because he wanted to let her win and make her happy.

He was also making plans for her future considerately.

Furthermore, giving in to his own girlfriend and letting his girlfriend win against him, what a pampering thing it was to do.

Why would she insist on competing with her own boyfriend?

Since she knew she could not win against him—and that he was willing to give in to her and make her happy—that would be very good as well.

Why would she need to be so serious with her own boyfriend?

The subtext in Han Zhuoling’s actions was that, how could I let my girlfriend lose?

Someone who had never been soft-hearted towards his opponents and who had beaten everyone else while pa.s.sing all the rounds—a man who had simply never lost—actually made such a decision when pitted against her.

It was totally inconsistent with his usual behavior.

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya instantly felt as if she was in ancient times wherein the king was trying to elicit a smile from a beauty.

And she was that beauty.

As for Han Zhuoling, he would naturally be the king, no explanations needed.

“You’re not happy that I let you win?” Han Zhuoling asked.

But judging from her reaction, it did not seem like she was unhappy either.

“No.” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya smiled ’til her eyes could not be seen. “I’m happy that you’re giving in to me!”

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya stared at him with a bright smile. “How does it feel like when you don’t dare to win against your own girlfriend?”

“It feels pretty good,” Han Zhuoling said and chuckled. It could be said that he was radiant with delight.

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya reminded the director, “Director, please edit this part out afterward.”

“Why is there a need to edit it?” Han Zhuoling felt that they were open and upright. There was nothing scandalous to hide about them.

“We are filming for the show. This is not appropriate,” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya said.

“It’s not that you don’t want to acknowledge me?” Han Zhuoling asked as he raised his eyebrow.

“Of course not. Or else I wouldn’t be so cooperative with you in front of the director and videographer brother. I would have hidden in a corner long ago.” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya pouted a little at him before she said, “I just feel that, if we showed our affection on the show like this, wouldn’t it not be very suitable?”

Director: “…”

Haha, you both finally realized that!

Both of you have been showing off for two days already, but now you say this?

Han Zhuoling finally nodded his head in satisfaction and smiled again.

It was good that she did not intend to hide him.

“You both think too much.” The director smiled wryly as she said that. “If Young Master Ling doesn’t mind that your relations.h.i.+p is revealed through our show, then the editor will edit it freely, but they still have to consider the overall effects of the show. As for the parts that will be edited out or kept, the editor still has the final say.”

The director thought to herself, in these two days of recording, she had roughly thought over it. In all the scenes where there were Han Zhuoling and s.h.i.+ Xiaoya, there was none in which they were not holding hands and not showing affection.

Even if they wanted to edit it, they could not, unless they just did not include any scenes with Han Zhuoling and s.h.i.+ Xiaoya.

Han Zhuoling’s seamless show of affection was very good indeed.
