His appearance, however, startled Lexi, who was filming an action scene, causing her to forget to do the action and have to reshoot.

"Lexi, take a break, touch up your makeup, and then we'll continue filming." As soon as the director finished speaking, Lexi went straight to Meng Tang and the producer, asking them what was going on.

“This young man is so handsome, I’ll let him try out for the role of the fox demon.”

"Are you kidding me? This is a pure Chinese fantasy drama, and you're casting a foreigner?"

Le Xi rarely speaks so sharply, and Yue Bei and Director Lin came over immediately.

The producer continued to explain, "He perfectly matches the description of the fox demon in the original work. Come on, Yue Bei is here too, come and see."

"That's right, even the pupil colors are exactly one light blue and one dark blue, so there's no need for colored contact lenses."

Yuebei tried to ease the tension with a joke, and Lexi understood what she meant. She also noticed that Director Lin seemed concerned.

She knew she had just lost her composure.

"I overreacted. Director Lin, you can decide." After saying that, Le Xi went to her dressing room, and Yue Bei followed her in.

"Lexi, do you have a grudge against that handsome young man?"

"It's not exactly an enmity, we just had a little unpleasantness."

"I think it's more than just a little bit. Wei Kai messed with you like that back then, and you didn't seem that angry. Something's not right today. And that handsome young man looks so wronged too. What's going on? Your ex-boyfriend is still hung up on you and came to watch the drama crew?"

If it weren't for respecting the makeup artist's work, Le Xi would have loved to slap herself on the forehead.

"Yuebei, sometimes I have to admire the imagination of you authors."

"That's right~ If my ideas weren't wildly imaginative, what would readers read? Hey, don't change the subject, tell me in detail."

Yuebei chased after her, but Lexi had already run to Mengtang's side.

She muttered behind him, "He still says he's not his ex-boyfriend, there's definitely something between them."

"Don't tell me you really want to make a movie?"

"I also want to be a versatile person, so that if the person in Cen's heart leaves her, I can be with her immediately."

Meng Tang's lake-like eyes looked intently at Le Xi, seemingly glistening with tears, causing Le Xi to swallow back the harsh words she was about to utter, and instead speak with a tone of curiosity:

Why are you so deeply in love with my sister?

"My mission is to understand her, fall in love with her, love her, and then marry her. I have now completed three steps and only the last one is left."

Lexi seemed to sense that something was amiss, but couldn't quite put her finger on it:

“But Meng Tang, your first three steps are all unilateral. The last step requires the joint efforts of both of you.”

"So I'm working hard."

Meng Tang's stubbornness made Le Xi give up on trying to reason with him and she could only try other methods to keep him away from her sister for the time being:

"Then keep it up. After this show is over, I'll recommend a few more production teams to you. I wish you a speedy transformation into a versatile and interesting person."

"Thank you, Lexi. I will do my best."

Forget it, you idiot.

After Le Xi and Qu Yanqiu finished the fight scene they had just performed.

When she finished filming and was removing her makeup, she stared at Meng Tang, who was making his first attempt at acting and looked quite clumsy, for a long time.

"Oh no, something's wrong!" Le Xi suddenly realized something and stood up abruptly. The makeup artist, caught off guard, even pulled a strand of her hair.

Lexi ignored the pain and quickly went to her car to call Cen Yu'an.

"Meow Meow, are you done work today? You've worked hard."

"Sister, Meng Tang is not right!"

Upon hearing Le Xi's words, Cen Yu'an's expression changed, and her mind began to frantically recall the things between her and Meng Tang.

"Sister, he followed me to the film set today just to ask me in detail what you like. Later, I chatted with him for a bit. His behavior seems to be pre-programmed!"

Le Xi looked at Cen Yu'an on the screen, feeling extremely anxious and uneasy.

My sister just discussed cooperation with their family. If all of Meng Tang's actions were orchestrated by someone with ulterior motives, then they must be trying to harm my sister.

"That explains everything. No wonder I always felt that the Reinhold family was too good to Hua Shu. So that's how it is. Don't worry too much. I have a backup plan. Besides, Meng Tang hasn't finished their design yet, has he?"

Cen Yu'an's relaxed smile instantly put Le Xi at ease.

It wasn't that she was overthinking things, but rather that as the young master of such a family, even if Meng Tang was incompetent and neglected, his family wouldn't allow him to love a complete stranger like that.

Unless, of course, everything was tacitly approved by his family.

Meng Tang was merely a tool kept in the dark.

Cen Yu'an said she would thoroughly investigate their family again, and told Le Xi to go eat and rest before the two hung up the video call.

Before leaving, Le Xi glanced in the direction of the film crew, a smile blooming on her face:

“Meng Tang, then we won’t let you have any chance to get close to my sister anymore.”
