Second Take On Romance - The A-List Actor Wants Me-Chapter 306 : (Extra) Lang Yuxuan and Feng Jietang’s Side Story (7)

Chapter 306: Chapter 306 : (Extra) Lang Yuxuan and Feng Jietang’s Side Story (7)

The ring was too conspicuous.

By the time Yan Renzhong and Shen Jingwei made the announcement, only several very dense people were surprised.

The rest offered an array of mixed reactions.

Director Ma exclaimed, "I knew it! Their chemistry was so strong from day one that they have no choice but ending up together!"

Chun Yao pulled a face and muttered, "Ew."

Lu Shui, drunk from the chocolate vodka Yan Renzhong brought back from abroad, raised her glass and cried out, "Woohoo!!!"

Lin Ruoye and Ye Lingxia followed up with a round of cheers of their own.

"Long live #RenWei!"

Hua Xueying clicked with her tongue, "Basically, you just wanted to show off your wedding rings, didn’t you?"

Feng Jietang rolled with his eyes and scoffed, "If you wanted to sneak off and get married, why didn’t you just say so? Stop worrying people around you!"

Yan Renzhong laughed. He lifted his and Shen Jingwei’s intertwined hands and planted a reverent kiss against Shen Jingwei’s knuckles.

"Honestly, after Jingwei announced our relationship officially, it did not make sense to wait any longer to get married."

Shen Jingwei took the chance to give Yan Renzhong a peck on the lips before he beamed at their guests and added, "Our only regret is not having all of you with us during the ceremony. We will follow up with an official reception soon."

A round of applause followed, accompanied by well wishes toward a harmonious and long-lasting marriage.

"May you have a happy union that lasts a hundred years!"

"May you forever be of one heart and one mind!"

"May you share both the joys and sorrows of life!"

"May you have a happy and fulfilling life!"

Lang Yuxuan too wanted to offer his congratulations, but he didn’t know what to say.

Would the couple even accept his congratulations? Or would they think that he was being fake and insincere?

In the end, Lang Yuxuan bit into his lower lip and said nothing.

As the cacophony of celebratory cheers filled the room, he closed his eyes and lost himself in the taste of his wine.

After he finished his wine, he sauntered toward the pool area for some fresh air.

It was difficult to find a seat, because all lounge chairs were occupied. Undeterred by the risk, some even perched precariously on the half-walls.

Shrouded in the darkness, Lang Yuxuan leaned against the wall and sipped from his second glass of wine.

As fate would have it, the door to the pool area slid open, and Shen Jingwei stepped onto the wooden flooring. He turned his head to the side and spotted Lang Yuxuan right away.

"Hey, Lang Yuxuan," Shen Jingwei greeted him.

Lang Yuxuan was so surprised that he almost choked on his wine.

"Shen... Cough, cough, I mean Senior Shen," he greeted the other man in return.

Before Shen Jingwei opened his mouth to say something else, Lang Yuxuan blurted out reflexively, "Congratulations on your wedding!"

It was almost as if he was grasping desperately for a golden opportunity.

Shen Jingwei blinked once in astonishment before he broke into a smile.

"Thank you."

Once he said the words, a heavy burden seemed to fall off Lang Yuxuan’s shoulders.

Unfortunately, he still had more burden weighing down on his conscience.

"That, uh, I just want to say that I am sorry for all the bad things I have ever done to you," Lang Yuxuan mumbled. "I know that my apologies do not mean much, but I still want to apologize. I am sorry. I am deeply sorry."

Shen Jingwei held a hand up to stop Lang Yuxuan from apologizing further. The latter looked like he was about to drop in a kowtow.

"You risked your life trying to protect me from Jin Zhuo and his minions. I haven’t even thanked you for that. There is no need to lower yourself like this."

"You don’t know the whole story."

Lang Yuxuan swallowed hard.

"The truth is, the reason why I was in the nightclub in the first place was..."

Lang Yuxuan was prepared to expose his soul’s darkest corners to Shen Jingwei, but the latter refused to let him do so.

"Lang Yuxuan."

Shen Jingwei tapped Lang Yuxuan on the shoulder, interrupting him mid-confession.

"You don’t have to say anything else."

"..."

"We all screw up at some point. I am glad that you chose to make amends. Let’s get along better in the future."

"..."

Lang Yuxuan swallowed hard again. He would rather die than say it out loud, but he kind of understood why Yan Renzhong and Feng Jietang liked Shen Jingwei so much.

Shen Jingwei was actually a pretty decent guy.

"Don’t stand here alone. Come, join us inside."

It was very kind for Shen Jingwei to invite Lang Yuxuan inside, but the latter did not feel like it. He needed to come to terms with his own emotions, and it was done best when he was without company.

"No, thank you. Maybe later?"

Shen Jingwei nodded in comprehension.

"Of course. I get it."

Lang Yuxuan smiled to himself after Shen Jingwei left.

Now, he felt much better.

A lot better, in fact.

Maybe, just maybe, he did not have to resign from CNC Studio.

Maybe he could start anew, excelling in his acting career and making friends along the way.

And maybe...

He pressed his lips together into a thin line.

Maybe he could even...

Lang Yuxuan shook his head repeatedly.

No.

No, no.

He shouldn’t be too greedy.

Right now, what he had was enough.

Lang Yuxuan took a deep breath and expelled the air slowly.

The air was getting chilly.

He hugged himself and prepared to go back inside, but then a familiar male voice stopped him in his tracks.

"Halt."

"..."

Lang Yuxuan swiveled around and came face-to-face with Feng Jietang, who was walking toward him with an unreadable expression across his handsome features.

"I thought that you would do something nasty to ruin the night," Feng Jietang commented with a snarl.

"I guess I was wrong."

A corner of Lang Yuxuan’s lips twitched in response.
