After a while, the waiter came in with a plate of fragrant crayfish.

Ji Xuyan was quick-witted and stood up quickly, picked up a crayfish skillfully before Lu Youyou, and began to peel the shell carefully.

Lu Youyou watched Ji Xuyan peeling shrimps for the children, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

The little kids ate the lobster meat happily, with smiles of happiness and satisfaction on their faces.

As they ate, they laughed happily, making the whole atmosphere particularly warm.

Seeing the children's satisfied looks, Ji Xuyan and Lu Youyou couldn't help but smile at each other.

At this moment, there seemed to be a tacit understanding and resonance between them, as harmonious and beautiful as a family.

After lunch, Ji Xuyan drove Lu Youyou and the five cute little kids home.

After the car stopped smoothly in front of Lu Youyou's house, Lu Youyou said gently to the children:

"My dears, please go home first. Mom and Uncle Ji have some things to discuss."

The little kids nodded obediently, then skipped into the house.

After the children went in, Lu Youyou turned around, looked at Ji Xuyan with a smile, and kindly reminded:

"Don't forget to go get your cousin's hair."

Ji Xuyan nodded obediently.

But he didn't seem satisfied with such a simple conversation and couldn't help asking another question.

"Besides this, don't you have anything else you want to tell me?"

Lu Youyou shook his head slightly and replied softly: "No!"

Hearing this answer, Ji Xuyan's face showed a hint of obvious displeasure.

He suddenly stretched out his hand, pulled Lu Youyou to his side, and hugged her waist tightly.

"Is the matter of my cousin the only thing on your mind?"

Ji Xuyan's voice contained some complaints.

There was a hint of expectation and desire in his eyes, hoping to hear more from Lu Youyou.

Facing Ji Xuyan's questioning, Lu Youyou hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Then...be careful on your way home, stay safe!"

Seemingly not satisfied with this answer, Ji Xuyan asked again:

"Is there nothing else?"

Lu Youyou blinked her big, lively eyes and answered innocently:

"No more."

Seeing that Lu Youyou still didn't mention the main point, Ji Xuyan had no choice but to take the initiative to ask:

"Sister, you still haven't told me why the director fired you today?"

"Oh, that makes me angry."

Lu Youyou said angrily, complaining non-stop with her little mouth like a machine gun.

"That crazy woman Feng Mengyun actually tried to get the director to fire me just because I'm prettier than her! What's even more infuriating is that the director is such a coward. After being frightened by Feng Mengyun, he really became timid and didn't dare to say a word!"

After listening, Ji Xuyan frowned slightly and asked with concern:

"Does she have a strong background?"

Lu Youyou shook her head helplessly and sighed, "I don't know the specific situation, but the director said that people in the circle are quite afraid of the power behind her."

"Do you want me to help you?" Ji Xuyan suddenly suggested.

Lu Youyou widened her eyes, looked at Ji Xuyan in surprise, and asked half-doubtfully:

"You help me? How are you going to help me? Could it be that your backers are more powerful than hers?"

Ji Xuyan raised his lips slightly and answered confidently:

"Hehe, let's just say so! After all, I am now considered a top star, so my words still carry some weight."

Lu Youyou smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying helplessly:

"You're just a celebrity, so what even if you're a top star? Can you really go against those capitalists? Be careful not to get into trouble and be played around by them!"

Ji Xuyan disagreed and retorted: "How do you know that I don't have strong capital support behind me?"

After saying this, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, it seems that your family also runs an entertainment company. But I'm afraid that won't work. The director said it's not a matter of money. That person should still have power." Lu Youyou said, shaking her head gently.

Ji Xuyan, however, appeared calm and confident.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this for you."

Lu Youyou looked at him, her heart filled with endless gratitude.

"Thank you, Xu Yan. But... I don't want to cause you any trouble."

Ji Xuyan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a doting smile.

He stroked Lu Youyou's hair gently and said, "Don't worry, this is just a small matter for me."

Lu Youyou nodded, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

"Okay then, I believe you!"

Ji Xuyan looked at Lu Youyou and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Then please look forward to the good news I will bring you! Do you need to be the heroine of this play?"

Lu Youyou waved her hand hastily, "No need for that. I would rather strive for it through my own efforts, step by step."

"I have to say, you are really different from other girls!" Ji Xuyan praised with a smile.

"What are the other girls like?"

Lu Youyou blinked her big eyes and asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Ji Xuyan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, shook his head gently and said:

"They all want me to choose them as the heroines right away."

After hearing this, Lu Youyou muttered to herself, "Wouldn't it be more fulfilling to strive for the role on my own?"

Just as she was lost in thought, Ji Xuyan's voice came again.

"That's why I said you're different from them! But... I just like girls like you."

"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back and rest."

Lu Youyou raised her head, looked at Ji Xuyan and urged him gently.

The next morning, the sunlight shone through the window onto Lu Youyou's face, and she was still immersed in a sweet dream.

Suddenly, a shrill ring woke her up from her sleep.

Lu Youyou rubbed her sleepy eyes, saw the screen of her mobile phone showing an incoming call from the director, and quickly picked up the call.

"Hello, Director!"

There was a hint of weariness in Lu Youyou's voice.

"Yo Yo, come back to the set!"

On the other end of the phone, the director's tone was very urgent.

Lu Youyou suddenly lost all sleepiness, sat up from the bed, and asked excitedly:

"Are there any new arrangements?"

"I'll tell you the details when you get here, but come quickly!"

After the director finished speaking, he hung up the phone in a hurry.

Lu Youyou's heart was filled with joy, and she immediately guessed that it must be Ji Xuyan who helped her solve the problem.

So she quickly got out of bed, washed up briefly, and rushed to the set as usual.

However, when she arrived at the set, she found that the atmosphere among the entire crew was extremely tense.

Everyone looked at her, their eyes filled with curiosity and awe.

Lu Youyou couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but still tried to remain calm and walked to the director.

When the director saw Lu Youyou, he smiled and said to her: "The previous matters have been dealt with. You can continue to participate in the filming."

After hearing this, Lu Youyou was so excited that she almost jumped up.

The director then said to Lu Youyou: "Feng Mengyun has been replaced."
