After filming wrapped up, Zheng Xin's team was dealing with the trending topics about her. Dissatisfied with having to film an extra take, Zheng Xin started to complain to her team.

Su Qi went to remove her makeup. Seeing that everyone had left, Zheng Xin deliberately pulled up the intern assistant next to her: "Help me remove my makeup."

"hurry up."

The intern suddenly applied too much pressure, hurting Zheng Xin's eyelids and causing her to lose several eyelashes. She angrily said, "Can you do this job or not? If you can't, then get out, and don't even think about getting your internship certificate from me!"

Because it was a bit cold on set at night, Zheng Xin was shivering because her clothes were thin. Her assistant brought her a fur coat, but she said, "What is this? This cheap fur coat is not fit for me to wear?"

Everyone was angry but dared not speak out, letting Zheng Xin rage and make things difficult for them.

In contrast, everyone cast envious glances at Su Qi.

Su Qi ordered boxed lunches for the team members. While everyone was eating, Su Qi didn't put on airs and instead removed her makeup herself.

After removing her makeup, Su Qi finally took her first bite of food, but everyone else had already finished eating and was happily helping Su Qi tidy up her things.

On the other hand, everyone was extremely envious of Zheng Xin: "It would be great to work under her."

Zheng Xin seemed to hear the complaints and quickly threw the DM perfume bottle off the table, shattering the glass.

"You traitors! Go ahead and try, I want to see if she'll even take you in!"

Su Qi definitely couldn't afford to pay these people such high salaries, and their treatment would certainly be worse than Zheng Xin's. Moreover, Su Qi didn't need so many people. Thinking of this, everyone held back.

"Look! Still looking! Hurry up and help me pack my things, I don't want to get home later than her!"

Zheng Xin's dressing room was noisy, and you couldn't hear anything. Zheng Xin was applying hand cream and had just calmed down for a while when a black luxury car drove in, reflecting the light of the street lamps.

Zheng Xin tilted her head, wanting to see who was coming to pick her up.

Unexpectedly, the luxury car passed Zheng Xin and drove directly to the dressing room where Su Qi was. Zheng Xin took the opportunity to go out and take a look.

They suspected that Su Qi had gotten involved with some powerful figure.

The car suddenly stopped.

The driver and assistant got out of the car first, walked around the car, and opened the back door to welcome a man out.

The man had medium-length dark brown hair, with a few strands tied up at the back of his head.

His clear gaze slowly swept over Su Qi, his eyes lowered, revealing his weariness. His sword-like eyebrows were slightly lowered, and a trace of melancholy appeared on his gentle and jade-like face.

"You've become quite capable." He coughed lightly, his voice steady.

Su Qi stepped forward, slightly raised her head to meet his gaze, her cold, icy eyes revealing no emotion: "I never expected that Young Master Shen would be so nosy, spreading rumors about me and Li Yancheng having that kind of relationship."

Shen Chaohuai gave her a deep look: "I just don't want you to get involved with this kind of person. He is definitely not a good match. You are my sister, and I have the right to protect you. Your marriage should be decided by me."

Those who were still on set came to watch the show.

Shen Chaohuai immediately sensed something was wrong. Under these circumstances, he had no way of telling Su Qi the specific reasons and his true identity.

Su Qi shook her head: "You told the Li family patriarch about me asking Li Yancheng for help, and even spread the word that Li Yancheng had taken a liking to me. In the end, your actions benefited me instead."

"When the old man of the Li family found out that I was rejected in the audition, he immediately invested in my project."

"Shen Chaohuai, he tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead."

"Don't do this next time."

Su Qi smiled and tapped Shen Chaohuai's shoulder with her finger in a slightly flirtatious manner.

Shen Chaohuai's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, but he still turned around and grabbed her wrist: "Don't go, wait."

Su Qi stood there, staring at him in astonishment.

Shen Chaohuai knew he was overstepping his bounds, but he couldn't wait. He wanted to tell her that he was jealous, extremely jealous.

Such confusion and panic were rarely seen on the face of this aloof young master.

“I came to see you because I wanted to tell you,” he paused, then gritted his teeth, “I just can’t stand you getting so close to him! You could have asked me for help with your filming, or anyone else, but you had to ask him!”

Su Qi's brows furrowed, her eyes lowered, and she didn't look at him.

Shen Chaohuai felt incredibly wronged, some words stuck in his throat, making his voice hoarse.

He wanted to tell her that he was Fu Changheng, and that she could trust him unconditionally as before.

He didn't want to be alienated by her.

They originally thought that if Su Qi hadn't died, they might have had a chance to be together.

Little did they know that their current identities would create an even more unsolvable knot in their relationship.

Unable to reveal his true identity or express his feelings for her under these circumstances, he could only explain, "I know why you suspect me."

"You're quite wary of my methods, aren't you?"

Su Qi seemed to realize something, her expression softened, and she looked up at him: "Shen Chaohuai, I have no fear of you."

Instead, it was the gun he suddenly pulled out and the calluses on his hands that reminded her of that person.

She was a little scared and didn't want that person to appear in this world.

Su Qi is not a completely ruthless and cold-blooded gunman or emperor. She can also be soft-hearted, especially when facing a man who looks exactly like her, showing her the most vulnerable side.

She had seen all the help Shen Chaohuai had given her, and she was not an ungrateful or treacherous person.

At that moment, her defenses crumbled instantly.

“Shen Chaohuai,” Su Qi finally explained to him, “I originally wanted to ask you for help.”

After gathering her network of contacts, Su Qi discovered that the person most likely to help her was Shen Chaohuai.

"However, Li Yancheng is the male lead of this drama after all, so it's more reasonable for me to ask him. Besides, Li Yancheng and I were indeed betrothed when we were children."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chaohuai's brow furrowed, but everyone in the room gasped in surprise.

There have also been more leaks and rumors online.

[Su Qi and Actor Li? Seriously?]

Shen Chaohuai didn't want to hear her say that she wasn't the original owner of this body at all. Did she not know that? Why use such an excuse…

He was confused for a second, but then he saw Su Qi's sincere expression. He understood. She couldn't tell him in public that she wasn't the original owner of the body. Therefore, she had to continue to maintain all of the original owner's characteristics.

Like now, he can't tell her his true identity.

He sneered, but as he laughed, his expression turned bitter.

They were so close, yet so far apart.

Su Qi continued to explain, "But my engagement with Actor Li was dissolved a long time ago, so please don't make wild guesses."

[I breathed a sigh of relief.]

[I was terrified! I really thought they were going to get married.]

However... it's not impossible to ship Su Qi and Actor Li.

[...Don't eat random things upstairs, you won't get a balanced diet if you eat everything.]

Su Qi also straightened Shen Chaohuai's suit jacket and tidied up the rolled-up corner.

Just consider it a childish tantrum, Su Qi didn't think much of it and smiled helplessly at him: "Alright, don't be angry."

At that moment, Shen Chaohuai felt the temperature of her fingertips; it wasn't cold, but warm and inviting.

He seemed to have been appeased by her.

He lowered his head, not daring to look at her, his ears red, and said in a low voice, "I'll take you home."
