Chapter 1008: Chapter 1008: He’s Not Like Me, He’s a Clean Freak Chapter 1008: Chapter 1008: He’s Not Like Me, He’s a Clean Freak Xia Xue had always been clear about her own position; she never harbored any hope that the Cinderella story would happen to her. All she wanted was to use Han Cheng’s influence to get more resources in the entertainment industry and to become famous faster.

But in the evening, when she saw Li Shengxiao doting on Rong Yan, she still couldn’t control her jealousy, and she nearly made a mistake.

Suppressing the raging jealousy in her heart, she continued with an innocent expression on her face, “Sister Rong Yan is pretty nice, and she’s often praised by the people in the company. Actually, if it weren’t for the trouble her family causes, Sister Rong Yan would have entered the third tier by now.”

What she meant was that Rong Yan was still a third-tier actress or worse.

Han Cheng’s first reaction was surprise and even a bit of disbelief.

Li Shengxiao’s background was, in fact, more influential than his own, so how could he take an interest in such a woman?

All the women in the entertainment industry were just for fun, right? Someone like Li Shengxiao, who was considered exceptional among them, how could he be serious?

After a moment of stunned surprise, he gradually calmed down and, with narrowed eyes, sneered as he looked at the jealousy and discontent that Xia Xue was hiding very well on her face, “Baby, are you envious?”

Startled, Xia Xue quickly reined in her emotions, lowered her head, and cuddled obediently beside him, “I have Mr. Han, and that’s enough for me.”

“Hmph, having me is enough, you say? I saw your eyes wandering over other men just now,” Han Cheng was not buying her act, showing no sympathy at all as he pushed her away and scoffed, “But even if you threw yourself at Li Shengxiao, he wouldn’t want you. He’s not like me; he has a thing about cleanliness.”

Has a thing about cleanliness… was he implying that she was dirty?

After Xia Xue staggered to stand firm, her face flushed with humiliation, but she dared not talk back and anger the man.

Looking down on her from his lofty position, Han Cheng glanced at her restrained appearance and left her with the words, “Not everyone is Rong Yan. You don’t have that fate! I allow the women by my side to be a bit cunning, but I despise women who think they’re smart and take me for a fool. What Rong Yan’s status is, her family circumstances, her work, have nothing to do with me. I only need to know that she is the woman Li Shengxiao is willing to acknowledge in front of me, and that makes her different from you! Don’t bother coming over tonight; I’ll have the driver take you back. Let’s end our relationship, and the money will be transferred to your card on time.”

“Mr. Han, I… I know I was wrong…” Xia Xue frantically widened her eyes as she reached out for him.

Han Cheng shook off her hand, pinched her chin mercilessly, stared at her for a while, released her, and then cleaned his hand with a tissue held by a nearby attendant. He casually tossed the used tissue on the ground, “I never keep overly ambitious women by my side, your ambition is too great. Take the money and leave quietly, don’t make me angry, or you might end up with nothing.”

The discarded tissue hit Xia Xue, as if smacking her face, turning her complexion from green to white to purple. Xia Xue clenched her hands tightly and felt the onlookers’ eyes from all directions. Gradually, she bent down to pick up the crumpled tissue on the floor. The overwhelming anger and resentment nearly kept her from standing straight. Only after she picked up the tissue and gripped it firmly in her palm did she manage to palely force a smile, biting her lip as her eyes flickered, “Thank you, Mr. Han.”

Han Cheng had long since walked away, and her soft “Thank you, Mr. Han” might as well have been silent.
