Sang Ranbai turned her head curiously and saw her assistant staring at the person lying on the step, her face flushed.

She couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The female assistant was distracted by her laughter and saw Sang Ranbai looking at her with a teasing gaze.

"Ah... Sister Sang, it's not what you think..." She awkwardly scratched her bangs, "It's just... that... I'm going to tidy up the dressing room."

The embarrassed female assistant ran back to the dressing room and slammed the door shut.

"Hahaha... this kid is quite funny, to put it another way." Sang Ran laughed, then looked up and met a pair of cold, aloof eyes.

This bigwig who appears on financial news every few days.

That young master from the Shangguan family!

Sang Ran's mind went blank for a few seconds.

Sang Ran's eyes widened in surprise, "Master Du...Master Du!"

Shangguan Du responded with a faint "hmm".

He glanced sideways, his gaze sweeping across the monitor.

Shangguan Yan stepped forward and inquired.

"Is the crew of 'Drunken Rouge' here?"

Sang Ran was stunned for a moment, "Ah, yes...yes."

Shangguan Yan respectfully addressed Shangguan Du, "Master, it's just ahead!"

Shangguandu stepped forward.

The filming of Gu Qingyan is progressing very quickly.

When Jiang Yan saw the woman in the camera, she wondered if she might become gay, since they spent every day together.

She sighed silently, then turned around and saw the man standing next to her.

Jiang Yan was so frightened that her hands almost trembled involuntarily.

What's going on with Master Du here?!

How long has he been standing here?

At this moment, the photoshoot was completed, and the costume designer and makeup artist stepped forward to help Gu Qingyan adjust her red robe, revealing her fair and rounded shoulders.

Red already makes people look fair and delicate, and when paired with skin exposed to the air, it is especially captivating!

This set of photos depicts Yueying going to a brothel to become a courtesan for the Crown Prince, striking various poses for men to bid on.

It's not revealing, yet incredibly alluring.

Gu Qingyan had to perform without props and also convey the most alluring emotions, which was a huge challenge.

She lay half-reclined on the step, her fox-like eyes shimmering with deep affection as she turned towards this side, both innocent and alluring.

Their gazes met in mid-air at Shangguandu.

"..."

He loosened his grip on his hand in his pocket, his eyes darkening slightly.

"Master Du," Jiang Yan greeted respectfully.

Shangguan Du's gaze remained fixed on Gu Qingyan's figure, and he replied with a faint "Mm".

"..."

The atmosphere was a bit tense.

Jiang Yan, who is usually well-liked in front of others, now wished she could become invisible in front of the big boss and not say a word.

The two stood side by side, silently watching Gu Qingyan in the camera lens.

“Those rumors,” Shangguan Du suddenly spoke up.

"!!" Jiang Yan was completely unaware that Shangguan Du was talking to her until Shangguan Yan tugged at her arm, startling her.

She quickly asked, "Tell me?"

Shangguan Du lifted his eyelids and glanced at her indifferently, "If you can't resolve those rumors, come to Shangguan Yan."

Jiang Yan: "..."

At this moment, hundreds of fireworks had already burst open in my heart, making loud banging noises.

Jiang Yan shook her head, trying to calm herself down.

"Um...Master Du, may I ask for your reason? Why are you doing this?"

Shangguan Du: "Gu Qingyan".

Jiang Yan's head was buzzing.

Gu Qingyan and this gentleman seem to have never met before, so what?

Did they meet in secret behind her back?

Jiang Yan steadied himself, opened his mouth, and suddenly a business card appeared in front of him.

"Contact me immediately if you need anything about her. This is my personal number," Shangguan Du said. "From now on, Shangguan Yan will be responsible for picking up and dropping off Qingyan."

"..." Jiang Yan took the business card somewhat blankly.

This is a number that countless people would kill for.

Is she incredibly lucky? No, it's all thanks to Qingyan!

While Jiang Yan was struggling with her decision, Gu Qingyan had already finished filming.

"Alright, thank you for your hard work, Miss Gu. Yueying's makeup photos are finished." The photographer shouted happily as he packed up his equipment. "These photos don't even need retouching. Just a simple background smoothing is enough. Director Feng, you've really struck gold this time."

Feng Hua was also very happy.

He stood up, patted the photographer on the shoulder, and nodded to Gu Qingyan behind him.

“You’re even better than I imagined,” Gu Qingyan said, instantly switching back to her cool and aloof demeanor as she left the camera.

"Thank you, Director Feng."

"Since you've entered the entertainment industry, you have to adapt to it. Don't take online comments too seriously; you have to get used to accepting different opinions."

Gu Qingyan nodded slightly.

At this moment, the assistant director rushed up to Feng Hua.

"Old Feng, Master Du is here."

Feng Hua asked in surprise, "Who?"

Just as the assistant director was about to speak, the set suddenly fell silent.

Feng Hua sensed something was wrong and turned around.

A tall, well-tailored man in a deep black suit walked with a relaxed and casual gait, one hand in his pocket, exuding a powerful aura.

"Master Du, Du, Du?!"

Feng Hua was extremely shocked.

He had seen Shangguan Du from afar at many parties, but he had never greeted him. After all, every time Master Du appeared, he was always surrounded by layers of people. Even if he wanted to get to know him, he didn't have the right to approach him.

"Master Du, what brings you here..."

"Director Feng," Shangguan Du replied calmly.

Feng Hua was somewhat incredulous that this man actually knew who he was.

The veteran director in the entertainment industry was inexplicably flustered.

He scratched his trouser leg and said slowly, "Master Du, what's going on...?"

"It's all over, why haven't you gone in to change yet?" Shangguan Du suddenly asked.

Feng Hua: ? ? ?

Should I change my clothes?

He looked at Shangguan Du with a blank expression, then looked in the direction Shangguan Du was gazing, and followed his gaze—to Gu Qingyan.

Gu Qingyan remained indifferent, ignoring her.

She didn't want to share a space with Shangguan Du.

at this time.

Shangguan Yan immediately sensed that the air around him seemed to have dropped a few degrees.

Shangguan Du stepped forward, unbuttoned his suit jacket, and put it on Gu Qingyan, his tone unconsciously softening.

"There are a lot of mosquitoes outside, go inside and change your clothes."

Gu Qingyan: ? ?

Jiang Yan: ! !

Shangguan Yan: ?!

People at the scene: ? ? ? ! ! ! ! !

The studio was silent, and every gaze in the air conveyed excitement and mockery.

Everyone strained their ears to listen, afraid of missing any sweet nothings.

Especially Director Feng.

The wig on his head was crooked and he was too lazy to straighten it.

He turned to the side, his eyes wide like a child peeking at someone kissing for the first time, shocked yet wanting to watch.

Gu Qingyan lowered her eyes to look at the suit jacket she was wearing.

Somewhat confused.

The man's coat was so large that it completely covered her, even though she was 172 cm tall.

A faint, cool fragrance emanated from the clothes, exactly the same as the man's scent.

Gu Qingyan reached out and grabbed the clothes, trying to tear them off.

Shangguan Du seemed to have anticipated her movements, and he grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer to him.

Gu Qingyan looked at his hands, staring at his well-defined knuckles. His fingers were long, more slender than the average man's, but they didn't look feminine; instead, they were exquisite and beautiful.

The gaze was so open that Shangguan Du's lips curled into a smile. He realized that the little girl seemed to really like his hand.

Shangguan Du chuckled lightly, "Want to have a meal together?"

Gu Qingyan looked at him without saying anything.

Shangguan Yan noticed that Gu Qingyan seemed different from the one he had met last time, and now she appeared somewhat hostile and not someone to be trifled with.

Do they think their grandfather is a lecher?

Clearly, Shangguan Yan had no connection whatsoever with the woman they were talking about.

Everyone: "..."

It looks exactly like someone who has upset their girlfriend and is coming over to apologize.

Gu Qingyan gestured for him to explain why she had put a coat on her.

"I'm going on a business trip tomorrow," Shangguan Du said, trying to soften his voice. "I'll leave Shangguan Yan with you. He can handle anything, don't do it yourself. You can also send me a WeChat message."

Gu Qingyan: "..."

What's wrong with this person?!

"If I don't reply immediately, it means I'm busy. Just call me directly, and I'll definitely answer," Shangguan Du continued to instruct.

"..."

What should I do if Gu Qingyan's fists are hard?

"If anyone bullies you, let Shangguan Yan handle it."

She glanced at the people watching from the side, then at the man's outrageously handsome face, pursed her lips, and finally said, "Didn't we say we were going to eat?"

Upon receiving a reply, Shangguan Du's icy gaze suddenly warmed as if melting away ice and snow.

He raised his eyes and glanced around at everyone, finally fixing his gaze on Feng Hua.

"Director Feng, could you please treat everyone to a meal and put it on my tab?"

"..." Feng Hua, who hadn't yet come to her senses during their interaction, suddenly snapped to attention.

He stared at Shangguan Du's face and said excitedly, "Don't worry, Master Du, I will make the arrangements. You and Qingyan can go first."

This was ordered by the head of the Shangguan family, the most powerful financial group in the capital!

Feng Hua was secretly churning with excitement, but he didn't show it on his face. He promised, "Don't worry, Master Du. Qingyan is part of my 'Drunken Rouge' crew. We'll definitely be a supportive family."

Shangguan Du's expression relaxed slightly.

He looked at Gu Qingyan again, his deep eyes filled with her image.

Gu Qingyan ignored him and walked out first.

The little girl is quite young, but she has a pretty big temper.

Shangguan Du followed behind Gu Qingyan.

After everyone had walked away, all eyes were filled with longing.

Curiosity, astonishment, gossip, and mostly fear... a variety of expressions alternated.

Feng Hua scratched his hair in frustration.
