Here Comes a Cute Baby—To Kidnap a Daddy as a Gift for My Mommy

However, the thing she was afraid of still came. As expected, when she was about to exit the hotel, someone suddenly called out to her in confusion.    

"Xia Xingcheng?"    

Xia Xingcheng's feet habitually stopped. She had already figured out who this person was, but she could only grit her teeth and quicken her pace as she left, not daring to stop.    

Jiang Chengyao was even more sure of his guess when he saw that the woman in front of him had run away. He didn't have time to think any further and chased after her.    

His voice was loud as he shouted, "Xia Xingcheng, wait a moment, I know it's you."    

Fortunately, there were a lot of people around, and they were all busy at the moment, so they didn't notice the commotion on Xia Xingcheng's side.    

When Xia Xingcheng saw that Jiang Chengyao was about to catch up with her, she couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. She had no choice but to turn a corner and enter an empty private room.    

She silently waited for Jiang Chengyao to catch up.    

In any case, it looked like she wouldn't be able to dodge, so she had no choice but to face it.    

As expected, Jiang Chengyao walked into the room after a while. When he saw that it was really Xia Xingcheng's face, he couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile.    

Jiang Chengyao said, "Xingcheng, I know I'm not mistaken. It's you."    

Seeing Xia Xingcheng's embarrassed smile, Jiang Chengyao elegantly sat beside Xia Xingcheng and took out a tissue to wipe off the sweat off of his body. It was too hot to chase after Xia Xingcheng.    

Thinking about the scene just now, Jiang Chengyao couldn't help but look at her in amusement, "You knew it was me, why are you running? How did you suddenly disappear recently? Do you know that I was worried because I couldn't find you? "    

Xia Xingcheng felt a little guilty. She looked at him with embarrassment. "About that, something very important happened to me a while ago. I didn't have the time to tell you about it."    

Jiang Chengyao knew that Xia Xingcheng hid her identity because she didn't want to tell the truth. Thus, he didn't press her and just looked at her with a gratified expression.    

Jiang Chengyao said, "It's good that I can find you now. You won't hide from me this time will you?"    

Xia Xingcheng quickly waved her hand. She felt that Jiang Chengyao was too considerate, making her feel embarrassed.    

After all, she hadn't told anyone when she left. It was just too incompetent of her to be a friend.    

Thinking about this, Xia Xingcheng could not help but look at Jiang Chengyao apologetically and explained, "Jiang Chengyao, thank you for understanding me. To be honest, I did have to leave because something happened to me recently. Also, I can't go back to Star and Entertainment right now. "    

Xia Xingcheng continued, "So, can you promise me that you won't tell anyone else that you've met me? Don't tell anyone. "    

Xia Xingcheng looked at him earnestly after she finished speaking, her eyes brimming with complicated emotions.    

Jiang Chengyao didn't know why, but his heart skipped a beat when he saw her expression.    

He quickly covered up his strange emotions without batting an eyelid, and the corner of his mouth still contained a faint, gentle smile.    

Jiang Chengyao said, "It's not that I can't agree, but how are you going to thank me?"    

Xia Xingcheng's face lit up immediately. She knew that since Jiang Chengyao was such a person, he would definitely keep his word and not go back on his word.    

Thus, she chuckled and quickly said, "How about this, I'll treat you to a meal, okay?"    

She remembered that before she left, she did owe Jiang Chengyao a meal. At that time, things happened too quickly and she left without saying anything.    

Jiang Chengyao also thought about this and nodded in agreement.    

Jiang Chengyao said, "Alright, I remember that I owe you a meal. How about I treat you? How about tonight?"    

Xia Xingcheng nodded in agreement as she thought it was a weekend as well.    

Jiang Chengyao seemed to be in a good mood and couldn't help but tease her: "Alright then, don't go back on your promise this time."    

Xia Xingcheng laughed awkwardly and waved her hand. "I won't, I won't."    

Xia Xingcheng was worried that staying here with Jiang Chengyao would arouse the suspicion of others. After all, Jiang Chengyao was a public figure.    

Thus, she greeted Jiang Chengyao and they exchanged phone numbers before leaving in a hurry.    

In the evening, Xia Xingcheng purposely changed into a more formal set of clothes in preparation for the banquet.    

After all, she had already promised Jiang Chengyao. She would not break her promise this time.    

Jiang Chengyao set the address at a relatively private western restaurant.    

Because of his special identity, Xia Xingcheng was not very worried as he had always been a cautious person.    

So, after so many days of not seeing him, Jiang Chengyao was no longer as gloomy as before. He was still the same as before, and his whole body was emitting a warm and natural aura.    

After the two of them had been together for a while, the atmosphere gradually relaxed and they began to casually chat.    

Jiang Chengyao was always like this, interacting with him gave people a very comfortable feeling, making everyone unconsciously relax.    

Therefore, Xia Xingcheng subconsciously asked Jiang Chengyao the question that was on her mind.    

Xia Xingcheng asked, "Why did I meet you there today? Are you here to sign the contract too? That shouldn't be the case. "    

Jiang Chengyao then took a sip of the red wine and said helplessly, "Why shouldn't I? I am also a filmmaker. "    

Jiang Chengyao said, "There are two contracts at the venue today, one for you guys and one for the 'Love Strategy'. Do you know that?"    

Xia Xingcheng was slightly stunned. Isn't this He Jing's?    

Xia Xingcheng asked in surprise, "Could it be that the male lead is you?"    

Jiang Chengyao nodded: "It is indeed me. It was just that the female lead had met with an accident during the interview. Now, the female lead is a rookie from another agency. "    

Xia Xingcheng nodded. She was just about to praise He Jing in her heart and say that he really was capable. He could even get such a big IP, but she heard Jiang Chengyao continue, "But, this male lead is no longer me. Just now, I received a notification from the higher-ups, asking me to go on strike."    

Xia Xingcheng said, "A strike? "What do you mean?"    

Jiang Chengyao shrugged and sighed as if he didn't want to say more: "I can't disobey my superior's rules all of a sudden. Besides, I don't want to continue acting in this TV show anyway."    

Xia Xingcheng nodded her head in understanding. She felt that things had suddenly become complicated, but she couldn't tell what had gone wrong.    

Therefore, she could only comfort him, "Alright, so that's how it is. Then don't act."    

Even though she said that, Xia Xingcheng still felt a bit of pity. If Jiang Chengyao was the male lead in the TV show He Jing signed, the effect would be different.    

However, this was someone else's private matter, so Xia Xingcheng naturally would not interfere.    

As a result, the two of them didn't talk about this matter anymore. Xia Xingcheng only secretly thought that after returning to her room, she would take a good look at this "Guide to Love" to see what was wrong with it.
