The more Wen Xiu spoke, the sadder he became. His usually sunny and energetic face seemed shrouded in a layer of haze, but his eyes revealed a trace of strong determination in his fragility. This contradictory feeling, on the contrary, made people want to protect him.

Ding Shan’s gaze shifted to a spot not too far away. Sure enough, there was a photographer taking photos. Although he did not record Wen Xiu’s words, he did record Wen Xiu’s expression.

Wen Xiu controlled his expression while secretly observing.

Wen Xiu had already used this tactic of pretending to be pitiful countless times. The facts had proven that women were quickly soft-hearted creatures.

!!

Some women might not immediately develop a strong love for him, but as long as they see his fragile and pitiful side, they will be inspired to sympathize with him.

After thinking he was a ‘Weak and pitiful’ man, women would lower their guard against him, and their sympathy would quickly turn into a good impression between men and women.

Wen Xiu used this means to trick many women into loving him.

After realizing that Ding Shan wasn’t an easily moved woman, Wen Xiu thought of this pitiful trick.

However, Ding Shan was all too clear on Wen Xiu’s thoughts.

Because Wen Xiu’s feigned weakness and pitifulness had piqued her sympathy in her past life, she could not refuse any of his requests. Like a prey that had fallen into a spider’s web, Ding Shan had fallen deeply into Wen Xiu’s lie trap; then, she was used by Wen Xiu until the last moment of her life.

Seeing Wen Xiu continue to use his poor acting skills to lie in front of her in this life, Ding Shan’s heart was numb, but there was also a trace of anger.

She had initially thought that if Wen Xiu did not treat her in those disgusting ways in this life, or if he chose to give up on her after seeing her cold attitude, she might not continue to cause trouble for Wen Xiu.

However, she underestimated Wen Xiu’s greed. Even though she had clearly expressed her attitude, Wen Xiu was still thinking of various ways to entrap her.

Ding Shan realized that whether it was her past life or this life, Wen Xiu was a complete liar. This point would not change even with Ding Shan’s rebirth.

If it were any other woman in Ding Shan’s position today, Wen Xiu would have done the same thing. He would have deceived her true feelings and used her to pave the way for his future.

The depths of Ding Shan’s eyes grew increasingly colder. However, she only said surprisedly, “Oh? I’m sad to hear this news … But I can’t decide on this matter. I’ll discuss it with the Festival Group.”

There was nothing wrong with Ding Shan’s answer, but Wen Xiu could see that Ding Shan’s eyes did not have the slightest bit of sympathy or care!

Wen Xiu clenched his fist and thought resentfully, ‘Could it be that this woman’s heart was made of stone?’

According to his analysis of Ding Shan’s personal experience, Ding Shan should have been a woman who was easy to deceive. She lacked love and company and had too many emotional weaknesses.

However, after interacting with Ding Shan for a while, Wen Xiu realized that no matter how hard he tried, Ding Shan’s attitude towards him never seemed to change! Even when she smiled at him sometimes, there was no warmth in her smile.

He could feel that the distance between their hearts had never been closed!

“Okay, Miss. Ding, I understand. Sorry for disturbing you. I’ll go back to training. I hope you can keep this a secret for me. I don’t want to affect my teammates’ mentality.” As he spoke, Wen Xiu revealed a tired smile and blinked his eyes as if he was trying to hold back his tears.

Even if Ding Shan was unmoved by him, there were still scenes to be shot later. It was worth it to trick a few more audience members.

After Wen Xiu left, the team leader of the film crew ran over and asked Ding Shan what Wen Xiu had just said to her.

“Wen Xiu’s condition hasn’t been right since yesterday. It’s like he’s been dealt a blow. He even made a few mistakes while dancing. If this continues, it’ll affect his performance on stage.” The head of the photography team said worriedly.

Hearing this, Ding Shan felt that it was very ironic.

Had he already started laying the foundations?

In the next few days, Wen Xiu trained as usual. During this period, he maintained his pained state of suffering a resounding blow. Even Ding Shan felt tired of him.

Ding Shan had fantasized about Wen Xiu’s withdrawal from the competition. She did not want to see this hypocritical ‘Ex-boyfriend’ anymore.
