Chapter 22 - That Was Surprisingly Touching (2/2)

“I’m actually quite curious,” she began. “Why would an award-winning actor like you, who had a good future ahead, suddenly quit?”

She wanted to recover from the way she’d s.p.a.ced out. She didn’t even really expect Huo Yunshen to answer. Yet to her surprise, he responded.

“To be honest…being an award-winning actor is pretty lame.”

But the fact was that he had no choice but to give up on his acting dream and return to take over his family business.

Upon hearing his answer, Xu Xiyan nearly choked on her food. She thought she might even slap him.

Does he even realize that most people are only ever able to land second-rate roles for their whole career?

“Being an award-winning actor isn’t as glamorous as you’d think,” Huo Yun continued half-heartedly. “To this day, the memory that really sticks out is when I was forced to have s.e.x with a woman five years ago. She thought I was some male escort and paid me a mere 500 Yuan. I never met her again after that. I wonder if I was actually scammed by her that night…”

After saying that, Huo Yunshen stared at Xu Xiyan, his dark, cold eyes never leaving hers.

Five years ago…

500 Yuan…

With their gazes still locked, something flickered deep within Xu Xiyan’s memory. Something from the past was surfacing.

The sweaty scene from five years ago, the breath and the warmth of a man gone wild. Two strangers, entangled in the dark…

Oh my G.o.d… Don’t tell me, that the award-winning actor in front of me is the stranger I had s.e.x with? The dimples…of course, the dimples!

Are you serious?! Xu Xiyan began to consider just how powerful human genes can be; even dimples could be pa.s.sed down from generation to generation.

She thought about Ying Bao, then looked at the man in front of her. Oh my G.o.d, those are probably the same deep, charming dimples!

“That….that was you?”
