Seeing his gradually calming look, Lin Wanwan knew that this was the rhythm of him making a big move. She immediately took the initiative and said, “Regardless of how lousy I am, I’m still a shortlisted actress officially invited by the Imperial Capital TV Festival. I’m still stronger than someone who wasn’t shortlisted but self-invited herself to this festival.”
“You…”
Lin Wanwan didn’t give her a chance to rebut. It was rare for her to be this aggressive.
“Looking at what you’re wearing, I have to say that you must have spent quite a bit of money, eh? Oh, I know. You must be here to make an impression on the red carpet.”
Luo Nanxi was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She retorted angrily, “What nonsense are you spouting? Lin Wanwan, my background cannot be compared with that of a starlet like you. So what if I wasn’t shortlisted? Don’t forget who my husband is. I’m an awarding guest today!”
Lin Wanwan thought of her minister husband surnamed Xu. “Oh, please help me to say hello to Grandpa Xu.”
Luo Nanxi’s face gradually flushed red. When she heard Si Han letting out a low laugh, she flew into a rage out of humiliation. She lifted her arm and was about to give Lin Wanwan a slap.
Bam!
The crisp sound of a slap rang through the entire corridor.
However, this slap didn’t land on Lin Wanwan’s face.
Luo Nanxi used her hand to cover her burning cheek. Her eyes were full of disbelief.
“Si Han, you actually dare to hit me?”
Si Han ignored her and only glanced at Lin Wanwan.
Lin Wanwan understood it instantly. She took out a piece of wet tissue that she carried along with her and handed it over to him like a sidekick.
“Si Dada, wipe your hands!”
Si Han carefully wiped the hand that had hit Luo Nanxi. This action angered Luo Nanxi.
He said coldly, “We have written off our grievances during that year. If you continue to make impertinent remarks, don’t blame me for being merciless. I’ve always been hard-hearted.”
Hearing him talk about that year, Luo Nanxi became more infuriated. “What do you have to be proud of? Regardless of how formidable Lin Xiao was, she’s dead. Do you think Lin Wanwan can be the second Lin Xiao?!”
“If I say she can, she will naturally be.”
Luo Nanxi laughed coldly. “Oh please. She lost to me in Bailing. For the Imperial Capital TV Festival this time, although she was lucky enough to be shortlisted, it’s just a formality. She thinks she can be the second Lin Xiao?”
Si Han squinted his eyes slightly. “Why don’t we make a bet?”
“What kind of bet?”
“If Lin Wanwan wins the best actress award this time around, you’ll let her slap you once so that she can enjoy the addiction of hitting a slut as well. If she fails, it’s up to you what you want to do to my face.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Nanxi was angry at first. Then, she was moved.
“No…”
Lin Wanwan did not have the time to stop anyone as Luo Nanxi was already nodding readily.
“Ok, it’s a deal!”
Besides Lin Wanwan, the shortlisted actresses for today’s best actress award were all seniors with higher qualifications. It was impossible for her to make a big break!
“Si Han, wait and see. You owe me…”
With confidence in her victory, Luo Nanxi was about to say more ruthless words when Si Han pulled Lin Wanwan away.
“Wait until you’ve won before you behave arrogantly.”
Looking at their back views, Luo Nanxi nearly bit off a tooth.
On the way back to the venue, Lin Wanwan was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof. “You were too impulsive just now. How could you gamble on something that you didn’t have in the bag?!”
Si Han raised his eyebrow. “You have no confidence in yourself?”
Lin Wanwan rolled her eyes at him. “Do you think I could win it 100%?”
“I don’t.”
“And then?!”
“Life is full of exciting challenges. It’s not bad to have some fun occasionally.”
