“You were the last one to come in, why didn’t you close the door?”

“Hey, I did close it?”

“The door to this makeup room isn’t like the ones at our club, it doesn’t close automatically!”

The team members quickly chased out, and in the hallway, they saw Xia Xing’s tall figure striding upstairs.

If they remembered correctly, the guest room for the female guest, Jian Manman, was upstairs…

“Xia God!

Where are you going!

Don’t be impulsive!”

Xia Xing ignored them, his steps unceasing.

The team members glanced at each other and sighed.

Forget it, let him go.

Whoever faced such a situation wouldn’t easily let go either.

Back then, in the public eye, the genius eSports player beloved by thousands of “mom fans” and “girlfriend fans,” had grandly announced his relationship with the popular actress Jian Manman after winning the international league championship.

The entertainment industry’s “well-matched” golden boy and precious girl, the media and fans went crazy.

The eSport great affectionately indulged his girlfriend, visiting her on set, accompanying her at meals, gifting her sports cars, making Jian Manman the envy of the entire internet.

Unfortunately, as both of their careers improved, they spent less time together, and even the best relationships eventually fade with time.

Later, Jian Manman, tearfully emotional, announced at a press conference that she and Xia Xing had broken up.

Since then, the fan-favorite ‘Manman-Xing’ CP split apart, inducing endless sighs.

But that was just what the public saw.

The members of the FB club knew much more than that.

When they went public, Jian Manman was already a popular actress capable of matching Xia God’s fame.

Little did people know, when Jian Manman had just graduated from film school, she was still a drab “ugly duckling” living with her heartless foster mother.

If it hadn’t been for Xia Xing’s overt and covert support for her, could she have had such a smooth start and access to great resources to become a hot celebrity overnight?

Sporting top brands and driving luxury cars, rumors even spread online that her family owned mines?

It was only after Xia Xing had nurtured her sense of superiority that she felt a boyfriend who still played eSports and obeyed her every command was disgraceful.

When she saw her close friends weeping in the arms of corporate tycoons and thought about their successful boyfriends, she believed they were better in every way.

A woman’s youth doesn’t last for many years; later, when she announced their breakup, she hadn’t even discussed it with Xia Xing in advance but had made the decision unilaterally.

Xia Xing still found out he had been dumped during a break in a match, resulting in his worst performance with 1 kill and 6 deaths, a permanent stain on his career.

After the press conference, Jian Manman immediately blocked all means of contact with Xia Xing, and she was soon photographed intimately holding hands with a wealthy businessman on a getaway, yet that news was quickly suppressed.

Nearly a year had passed since their breakup, and Jian Manman had been avoiding him while Xia Xing also refrained from seeking her out.

But the team members all knew, he hadn’t moved on.

Being dumped without clarity or the opportunity to question, no one could just accept it without a word.

Unless they had never really loved at all.

Xia Xing was someone deeply emotional, and that was his biggest vulnerability.

Today, the production team deliberately arranged this to leverage their past, and although Xia Xing knew Jian Manman was only a few dozen meters away from him, he couldn’t help himself.

He wanted to find her and ask her to clarify…

**

In the makeup room upstairs, Jian Manman had finished her hair and makeup, but since there was still some time before her stage appearance, she hadn’t rushed to change her clothes.

This time, to match the esports competition, her makeup artist designed a Japanese schoolgirl look for her, complete with double ponytails that made her look younger.

Her eyebrows were thin and long, and her eyes were black and bright, revealing a delicate and moist forehead.

Her pure and moving appearance was a type very few straight men could resist.

Back when she first got together with Xia Xing and hadn’t entered the industry yet, she also wore this style of double ponytails.

But compared to now, it was a completely different feeling.

Now, she packaged herself more like a born socialite, her double ponytails slightly curled at the ends to complement her sophisticated celebrity makeup, exuding a charming allure.

At this moment, she was sitting on the sofa next to the makeup table, holding a finance and economics magazine in her hands, which were adorned with delicate manicures.

She had broken up with the wealthy businessman she was photographed with earlier, after all, her ex-boyfriend was Xia Xing, and she started quite high, so she still couldn’t stand being with a man who was successful in business but was overweight and average-looking.

Yet, she had no regrets about breaking up with Xia Xing.

Because with her capabilities, she deserved much more than just someone like Xia Xing.

The career lifespan of an esports player is very short, Xia Xing was already in his 20s, what future could he have?

Jian Manman’s gaze returned to the magazine.

This issue featured an exclusive interview with Jiang Xuan, a leading entrepreneur from Capital City.

Looking at the face on the magazine cover, which was indifferent and detached yet charismatic from every angle, Jian Manman’s brightly colored lips curled into a smile.

All aspects of him were top-of-the-line; he was truly peerless.

Moreover, he had the surname Jiang, and she had the surname Jian—it was a match made by fate.

As if thinking of something, she closed the magazine and seriously reminded her agent, Jia Mingmei, “Sister Jia, from now on, please don’t accept these kinds of gigs that hype up news about Xia Xing and me.

Also, tell the company that I don’t want to be tied to his name anymore.”

She had come to Jiangzhou for the event and only found out after arriving that Xia Xing was also present.

She didn’t know whether Xia Xing had intentionally arranged for the program team to do this.

She knew Xia Xing was still madly in love with her, but continuing to be entangled with Xia Xing would clearly hinder her from finding someone better.

Jia Mingmei had been an agent for many years and was very experienced, “He is still very popular now, and before he retires, we can still ride off his popularity.

You’ve already announced the breakup at the press conference anyway, letting people know he still can’t forget you doesn’t hurt you at all.”

Jian Manman, “I don’t need to ride off his popularity; I want to build my career step by step on my own.”

Jia Mingmei looked at her, her gaze filled with admiration.

Just then, the door of the makeup room was suddenly pushed open.

Jia Mingmei turned around, her tone panicked, “Xi-, Xia Ge?”

Xia Xing completely ignored Jia Mingmei and headed straight for Jian Manman.

Jian Manman forcefully removed his hand and frowned, “Xia Xing, we’ve already broken up.

Show some respect.”

Xia Xing, “Two choices, either we talk here or we go outside.”

Being the second young master of the Xia Family, Jia Mingmei was somewhat intimidated, glanced at Jian Manman, and before leaving, she closed the door for them, “There are many reporters outside, you two talk it out here.

Xia Ge, whatever it is, speak nicely, especially about matters of the heart.

You can’t force it…”
