After a brief chat, filming continued.

By the time filming finally wrapped up, it was already 6 o'clock.

The college students went to change clothes, while Liang Liangwei and Lan Yin packed up the props.

After placing the flashlight in a corner, Liang Liangwei took out her phone to check the time, opened WeChat, and sure enough, saw a message from Yan Zhixu sent not long ago.

I'm waiting for you downstairs.

This was sent 10 minutes ago, which means he has been waiting downstairs for at least 10 minutes.

Liang Liangwei couldn't stay still any longer. She instructed Lan Yin to handle the aftermath and quickly walked back to her office with her camera in hand.

She replied to the man with a WeChat message saying "I'll be right down," and quickly packed her belongings.

As Liang Liangwei was leaving the office, Su Xiaorong saw her. Su Xiaorong also picked up her bag and was about to leave. She chatted with a colleague about work for a few minutes and wanted to ask Liang Liangwei to wait for her, but Liang Liangwei quickly walked to the elevator.

After speaking with her colleague, she quickly followed, only to see the elevator doors close.

Is this woman walking so fast because she's rushing to meet her boyfriend?

Su Xiaorong twitched her lips and pressed the button for another elevator.

Two minutes later, she arrived downstairs. As soon as she stepped out of the building, she saw a black Bentayga parked on the side of the road, and Liang Liangwei was opening the passenger door and getting in.

She opened her eyes wide, trying to move forward to see clearly, but after the car door was closed, she couldn't see anything inside.

Is it that secretive?

Liang Liangwei got into the Bentayga and fastened her seatbelt: "Driving by myself today?"

Yan Zhixu reached out and helped her fasten the buckle: "Hmm, are you hungry? What would you like to eat?"

Liang Liangwei smiled at him: "Whatever you want, it's up to you~"

Yan Zhixu raised his hand and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear: "Shall we go eat Cantonese food?"

Liang Liangwei nodded: "Okay."

Yan Zhixu drove the car onto the road.

Liang Liangwei covered her mouth and yawned, a hint of fatigue in her eyes.

Yan Zhixu glanced at it, somewhat reluctant: "So busy today?"

Liang Liangwei: "It's not too bad being busy. There's not much to do in the morning, and the work doesn't start until after 2 pm, but..."

She hesitated for a moment, a suspicious blush appearing on her pretty face: "I probably didn't sleep well last night. I wanted to take a nap this afternoon, but I didn't have time, so I felt quite tired."

Yan Zhixu's lips curled slightly: "Is it my fault?"

Liang Liangwei turned her head and glared at him, annoyed, "Shouldn't we?"

Yan Zhixu chuckled softly, and seemingly casually, he moved his hand closer to the center console, placed it over her hand, and gently held it.

His voice was hoarse and pointed as he said, "My flight is tomorrow morning, so you'll stay at my place tonight?"

Liang Liangwei instantly understood what he meant, her face turned even redder, her fingers, which were being held in a circle, curled slightly. She bit her lower lip and looked out the car window, muttering, "You have to catch a flight, why should I stay at your place?"

Yan Zhixu: "Will you take me to the airport tomorrow?"

Liang Liangwei: "What time is your flight?"

Yan Zhixu: "8:15."

That means she has to get up at least at 6 a.m. and leave within half an hour. Normally, she can get up at that time without any problem, but if he's planning to make her work hard all night and still wants her to get up early...

Liang Liangwei's eyes gleamed with cunning as she said, "If I stay at your place, I won't see you off in the morning. If you want me to see you off, I'll have to sleep at my own place tonight, and I can drive to the airport to take you there in the morning."

Yan Zhixu knew what she was thinking, and said without hesitation, "Then don't bother seeing her off at the airport. It's not important anyway. Just sleep until you naturally wake up."

Liang Liangwei: "..."

Yan Zhixu noticed her sidelong glance out of the corner of her eye and couldn't help but chuckle: "Your car is left downstairs at the company, so you can't go to the airport tomorrow. I'm doing this for your sake."

Liang Liangwei grinned and said, "Thank you so much, President Yan, for thinking of me. I'm very touched!"

Yan Zhixu chuckled and quickly parked the car in an empty space on the side of the road.

The two got out of the car and entered a Cantonese restaurant.

The waiter led the two to their seats and handed Yan Zhixu a menu, which Yan Zhixu gestured to the waiter.

Liang Liangwei is a loyal fan of Cantonese cuisine. She ordered several classic dishes, and soon the dishes were served one after another.

Liang Liangwei: "Chinese food abroad is definitely not as good as it is in China. You should try more of it tonight, otherwise you'll miss it when you're abroad."

Yan Zhixu smiled and handed the bowl forward, saying, "You can put some in my bowl."

Liang Liangwei glanced at him, picked up a piece of Typhoon Shelter Shrimp for him, and then served him braised duck, poached chicken, and crystal dumplings.

"You can help yourself to the stir-fried beef noodles and fish balls."

Yan Zhixu readily agreed to whatever she offered, and he ate whatever she picked out for him.

“Chinese food abroad is indeed not as authentic as it is in China, but that’s okay. I’ll be back soon, so,” he looked at her, smiling slowly with gentle eyes, “you can miss me, but don’t miss me too much. I’ll be back in a few days.”

Liang Liangwei smiled, pursing her lips: "Don't fool me, I'll still get through the days even if I don't count them."

Yan Zhixu chuckled: "So smart? Looks like my attempt to fool you failed."

Liang Liangwei also smiled.

After eating for a while, Yan Zhixu took a sip of her iced lemon tea and said, "There's something I want to tell you."

He put down his cup and said seriously, "Today, the CEO of Huayu Entertainment came to see me."

Liang Liangwei paused, then looked up at him: "Did you come to see me on behalf of Le Peier?"

Yan Zhixu: "You knew she signed with Huayu?"

Liang Liangwei shrugged and said, "After all, I've dealt with people in the entertainment industry, so I know information about some of the more famous celebrities. What do they want from you? Is it still about the diamonds?"

Yan Zhixu nodded and briefly explained the purpose of Le Peier and President Li's visit.

Liang Liangwei rubbed her forehead and frowned, saying, "They still won't give up."

How could you be so annoying?

Yan Zhixu gently reassured him, "You don't need to worry too much. I told you, I'll handle this."

Liang Liangwei: "I believe you, but you have to tell me how you're going to handle this. Besides, you're leaving tomorrow. Will you still be able to help me with this over there?"

Perhaps he's too far away to help her in her immediate predicament; she'll still have to rely on herself.

Yan Zhixu said calmly, "I asked her to repost the video that was edited yesterday on her own Weibo account under her own name, but this time she can't smear you, she just needs to explain things clearly."

Liang Liangwei was somewhat surprised: "Why?"

Yan Zhixu picked up a shrimp for her: "How else can we beat a dog when it's down?"

That sounded interesting, and Liang Liangwei's eyes lit up: "What do you want to do?"

Yan Zhixu looked at her and said, "I will turn the tables on her and give her a good slap in the face to avenge you. However, before that, public opinion may be a bit intense, and you will suffer some grievances in the early stages. Can you accept that?"

Liang Liangwei blinked, recalling how, after the video was released yesterday, although it was only a short time, the amount of abuse from netizens was truly astonishing.

She is already considered mentally strong; anyone with a slightly weaker constitution might not be able to handle it.

But the man clearly wanted to take a risky approach, and he was very confident in his plan. As his girlfriend, how could she not cooperate?

She smiled and said, "That's acceptable."
