Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

Su Wuli was satisfied with the answer and then put the needle away.

The opening on the outer robe wasn't finished sewing up, and loose threads were still sticking out.

She threaded the needle through the fabric and pulled it out from the other end, her eyes serious.

Yu Chen stopped teasing her and sat quietly beside her, watching her intently.

The needle tip went in and out between her fingers.

After finishing the last stitch and tying a knot, Su Wuli unfolded her outer robe to examine the sewn area.

It's crooked and a bit ugly.

She had considered that her skills weren't good, but she hadn't imagined they were this bad.

Su Wuli quickly folded her outer robe and placed it on the low table, then inserted the needle into the ball of thread.

She looked up but was caught off guard by the man's eyes.

Su Wuli felt a little embarrassed by his gaze and reached out to push her outer robe towards him.

"It's sewn up."

Yu Chen looked down at the outer robe, the crooked stitches particularly clear in the candlelight.

He reached out, picked up his outer robe, put it on, and fastened his belt.

The stitched opening was on his side, and he couldn't see it unless he looked in a mirror.

Su Wuli looked back and forth at the opening, especially now that Yu Chen was wearing it.

It looks even worse now.

She stammered, "Is it...too ugly?"

Yu Chen looked down at the crooked stitches. "It's fine."

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli lowered her eyes, "What do you mean?"

She can see it herself.

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Wuli heard a soft laugh.

Su Wuli looked up and met his smiling eyes, then raised her hand to punch his chest, only to have it caught by him.

She began, "I knew you were doing it on purpose..."

"I'm serious," Yu Chen chuckled, "It's much better sewn than my mother's."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Wuli froze.

"Really." Yu Chen ruffled her hair, as if stroking a kitten's fur.

He then pulled her into his arms.

During the night's rest, Yu Chen did not go out midway, and Su Wuli was able to sleep peacefully.

…………

When I woke up the next day, all I saw was the ceiling of the apartment.

My phone vibrated slightly on the bedside table.

Su Wuli took it and found that it was a file sent by Lin Liwen.

A message followed.

Take a look at the new script we've come across. There's a dinner party tomorrow night; the director and producer are both there. Make an appearance.

Su Wuli opened the file; the script was titled "Jin Yu Ying Jiang Shan".

She scanned two pages but couldn't concentrate on reading them.

He then turned his phone over and held it to his chest, lay down for a while, then picked it up again and replied to Lin Liwen with two words.

【OK. 】

Lin Liwen replied instantly.

How are you feeling? Are you able to go out?

Su Wuli typed one word.

【able.】

Lin Liwen gave an OK sign and then said.

I'll pick you up at 4 PM tomorrow. Dress appropriately, but not too formally.

Su Wuli replied with an "okay," then placed her phone on the bedside table.

He turned over and stared at the light coming through the gap in the curtains.

He sat up a moment later and went into the bathroom.

I had just finished washing up and came over when my phone vibrated again.

Lin Liwen sent an address with a note.

Don't be late.

Su Wuli stared at the address for a few seconds, then exited the map and opened the chat window with Lin Liwen.

[Sister Wen, please prepare another batch of medicine for me. Same as last time. Also, please bring extra hand warmers.]

Lin Liwen replied quickly.

【it is good. 】

Su Wuli went to the kitchen to heat up a cup of milk, then took out half a bag of toast from the refrigerator, sat on the sofa and ate a slice.

I drank half the milk and left the rest on the coffee table.

She then picked up the tablet and opened the script that Lin Liwen had sent her.

I flipped through two pages and then went back to read them again, so I simply put my phone on silent and placed it face down next to me.

She leaned back on the sofa and read the script from beginning to end.

The female protagonist's background, the difficulties she faces, and the choices she makes.

As she watched, she mentally rehearsed the scenes, thinking about how to convey the emotions in this scene and how to control the rhythm in that scene.

Suddenly, my gaze fell on a line of text.

The text described the female protagonist waiting for someone on a rainy night.

That person didn't come; she stood in the rain from dusk until dawn.

Su Wuli's gaze lingered on that line of text for a moment.

It was clear that before she returned, the situation in Beiyuan and Nanhuai was already close to being out of control.

Moreover, that third prince of Beiyuan is clearly a madman; I wonder how Yu Chen plans to deal with him…

Su Wuli couldn't help but worry about what would happen if she subconsciously went over there.

Her thoughts drifted away, and it took her a while to come back to her senses.

Take a deep breath, find the page you just stopped on, and continue reading.

She flipped through the script several times until it got dark.

Although it wasn't a complete script, she probably already had a good grasp of the female lead's character.

The following afternoon.

When the car stopped downstairs at the apartment building, Su Wuli was tying her hair in front of the mirror in the entryway.

She tucked the last few stray hairs behind her ear and looked down to check her collar.

A white turtleneck sweater and simple jeans.

Lin Liwen's car was parked at the entrance. She rolled down the window and glanced at Su Wuli.

"Get in the car."

Su Wuli opened the passenger door, got in, and fastened her seatbelt.

Lin Liwen started the car, glancing at her once and then again.

"You look alright." After saying that, he looked away and gazed at the road ahead.

Su Wuli turned her head to look out the window and gave a faint reply, "Mm."

Lin Liwen tapped her fingers lightly on the steering wheel. "This is a big project, so pay close attention."

"Okay, I understand. I've read the script several times already." Su Wuli turned her gaze away from the window.

Lin Liwen tapped the steering wheel again.

"The director is the award-winning one, you know? The production company is keeping a close eye on it, and casting has been dragging on for two months, they still can't make a decision."

Lin Liwen glanced at her sideways, then looked back at the road ahead.

"Several actors are vying for this script. I've submitted your application materials, and they've seen your previous work and are interested. You should talk to them over dinner today, but don't talk about things you shouldn't. Have a drink when it's appropriate, and when it's inappropriate—"

She paused for a moment, then said, "Don't drink it."

"Okay." Su Wuli turned her head and smiled at her.

Upon arriving at her destination, Lin Liwen parked the car and turned off the engine.

She turned her head to look at Su Wuli, her gaze lingering on her face for a moment.

He then pushed open the car door.

Su Wuli got out of the car.

The underground parking lot was quiet, and the sound of the two people's footsteps overlapped.

The elevator doors opened, Lin Liwen stepped inside and pressed the floor button, with Su Wuli following behind her.

Lin Liwen walked in front, and she followed behind. The two of them stopped in front of a wooden door.

Lin Liwen pushed open the door, and the people inside all looked up.

The round table wasn't large, but it was filled with men and women, occupying most of the space.

Director Jiang Yuchuan was sitting in the main seat, looking down at his phone, when he heard the noise and looked up.

His gaze shifted from Lin Liwen's face to Su Wuli's face, he nodded, and placed his phone face down on the table.

"Miri is here, please have a seat."

Su Wuli smiled and greeted him, "Director Jiang."

Then, following Lin Liwen, they walked around half the table and sat down in the two empty seats on the outermost side.

Lin Liwen put her bag down at her feet, turned her head and whispered something in her ear.

"That's producer Shen Yanyang, and next to him are Bai Xixi and Chen Jiaen..."

He introduced them one by one.
