Wen Qing raised an eyebrow. In the shadows beside her, a Bentley was parked discreetly, quietly and without a sound.

As she approached, the car door slowly rose.

"Sister Qing, I have to go now. You can rest well for the next couple of days. Sister Mimi hasn't given me a specific schedule yet, I'll contact you again when I have more information."

"Okay, hard work."

The Bentley's owner had already hailed a taxi for her assistant, and as soon as the car arrived, the assistant left first.

The night was dark and the temperature difference was large. Wen Qing saw that the person had left and was about to turn around and get into the car when the person got out of the car.

Upon seeing her, Chen Li stopped there, looked up in the quiet night, and smiled like the moon emerging from behind the clouds.

It is elegant and beautiful, like the purest and most harmless snow lotus on a snow-capped mountain.

Wen Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she smiled, "Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"

She stared at the person standing in front of her, her expression shifting between surprise and delight. Just a second ago, he had texted her that he was still at the airport. She had assumed he was her driver and that she would have to wait for him in the car for a long time, but she never expected that he would appear behind her the moment she turned around.

Her mind seemed to freeze, but her body acted on instinct, causing her to involuntarily take a few steps forward and lunge into his arms.

"really miss you."

Chen Li held her tightly, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones. She still carried the rich scent of roses, adding a touch of romance to the dark night.

"I really miss you. The half-hour drive felt like fifteen minutes."

"Ok!"

As Wen Qing listened, she tried to struggle to peek out from his embrace, but he held her tightly in his arms.

"Don't worry, I followed the traffic rules and didn't run a red light. I just took a shortcut."

That's fine.

Wen Qing nestled obediently in his arms, feeling his warmth. He didn't like wearing perfume, but the housekeeper always put a few woody scented beads in his clothes when she did the laundry. Over time, the scent on his clothes became his signature smell.

"Get on the bus first."

Chen Li led the person into the car. There was no driver. He opened the passenger door, where a bouquet of flowers was placed.

"Happy wrap-up, my big star."

"Thank you."

Wen Qingqing was very happy and took a deep breath of the fresh flowers. They smelled wonderful and were her favorite type of flower.

Whenever filming wrapped up for any of her dramas, no matter how long it had been or how far away she was, Chen Li would always be there for her with a bouquet of her favorite flowers.

I would also be the first to say to her, "Happy wrap-up, my big star."

He always regarded her as his muse, his queen, and held her firmly in his hands.

"It's too late. I'll take you back to a nearby home."

Chen Li drove very steadily, and the car was moving normally. He then took out a small box from the side, containing a very exquisite limited edition necklace.

"I saw this gift while I was away on a business trip. I thought it would suit you, and I thought you would like it, so I bought it for you. Do you like it?"

How could I not like it?

Wen Qing's eyes were filled with happiness. They had known each other since childhood, were childhood sweethearts, and were mutually in love. All the wonderful things seemed to be in their lives.

Wen Qing never stopped thinking about how happy she was. Her family was well-off, she herself was not bad either, she had dreams that could be realized, she had a loved one by her side, and she had one or two close friends. Occasionally, life would throw a little tantrum, adding some flavor to her life.

“I really like it. Every time you know exactly what I need, and then you give me a gift that perfectly matches my needs.”

Wen Qing really liked the necklace. In a few days, the Wen family would be holding a large-scale press conference, and as the eldest daughter of the Wen family, she would definitely have to attend. At that time, she could wear the new necklace that Chen Li had given her.

"If you like it, that's fine. Are you hungry? I've already had someone order some food and send it to your house."

"good."

Wen Qing felt exhausted and weak all over after getting into his car. Perhaps it was because she always showed her most vulnerable side in front of the people she cared about.

"You have no idea, that Song Wanru in the crew is always trying to get my attention. I don't know what she's thinking. I heard she has a big shot behind her. I'm really curious, who could be that big shot behind her?"

"Hmm?" Chen Li turned the steering wheel. "Is it someone from your film crew? Should I check?"

Instead of telling her he would immediately send someone to investigate, he asked her if she needed his help.

"No need. She's just a nobody. You don't need to do anything about her. Besides, she doesn't affect me. There's no need to waste your time and energy investigating someone who is completely unimportant."

Wen Qing rubbed her eyes, only then realizing that her makeup wasn't completely removed. She turned slightly around and asked, "Did you see my makeup just now? Was it pretty?"

"You look beautiful. Your peach blossom makeup this time suits your role perfectly. I'm just a little envious of the actor who plays the Crown Prince, who gets to see you looking so exquisite and beautiful all the time."

Chen Li could always respond to every word she said immediately, and even accurately interpret the meaning behind each sentence.

"You've thoroughly analyzed my script again?"

The girl's voice was filled with undisguised happiness.

"Yes, I've watched it several times."

He said he'd read it several times, but that's definitely more than a few times; the script must be worn out by now.

"This one is purely about palace intrigue, with not much romantic interaction between men and women. It mostly tells the story of her growth and adventures, the empress who manipulates imperial power and will become the future empress dowager."

Wen Qing enjoyed talking to him about these things because she knew that no matter which script she accepted, Chen Li would study it more seriously and carefully than she would. In some cases, Wen Qing even had to admire Chen Li's dedication to studying the script.

I dare not take anything about you lightly.

The director is wrong. He's not some innocent, adorable puppy; he's clearly a seductive male vixen!

Wen Qing's heart fluttered with tenderness, "Why are you always breaking the rules? Did you drink some sweet milk tea on your way to see me?"

"Really? I hadn't noticed. I thought these were just sweet nothings men use when they see the woman they love; men's greatest skill is that they can do it without being taught."

"..."

He started saying these things right away, and Wen Qing really couldn't handle it.

"Stop being so cheeky. It's only been a short time since we last met. The drama has wrapped up filming, so you finally have some time to rest. Shouldn't we have a get-together tomorrow?"

The thought of finally having time to rest filled Wen Qing with a pleasant dopamine rush. "How's Yao Yao? How's she been lately? She's been so busy. I chatted with her the other night, and she told me she's still drawing."

"How are things going between her and Luo Laogou? Has that wicked woman Wu Lina caused any more trouble?"

Wen Qing opened her mouth and started babbling on and on, excitedly wanting Chen Li to turn around and go find Yao Yao right now.

"..."

"Qingqing, if I turn around and go find Yaoyao now, I'll probably be in the boxing ring tomorrow. Yaoyao will be resting at this time."
