The next day.

Chi Enen dawdled at home until 7:45 AM before leaving the house.

It was already eight o’clock in the morning when she arrived at the film set.

Wang Lin greeted her as soon as she came in. “Sister Enen, why are you so late? Sister Sheng came to look for you but you were not around.”

Sheng Aiyi?

Chi Enen put away her bag. “Why is Sister Sheng looking for me?”

“It’s nothing much. Sister Sheng informed us that the investor will be coming later and told us to be prepared.”

Some time ago, there were news that this drama had found a new major investor that would inject one billion yuan of funds into it. This was to ensure that the drama would become an unparalleled blockbuster production of the year.

Chi Enen put down her teacup and tried to probe, “Have you seen the new investor?”

Wang Lin conveniently took the tea bag on the table and made a cup of tea for herself. She continued, “No. I heard that he is extremely rich, handsome and young. He invested in our drama to boost Sister Sheng’s popularity. It seems that the two of them plan to get married this year.”

Bang!

Chi Enen accidentally dropped the teacup in her hands to the ground.

Many people in the dressing room looked over.

She quickly squatted to pick up the teacup, and at the same time, hiding the uncontrollable, fleeting moment of shock in her eyes.

Li Beijue was going to get married?

Wang Lin also squatted. “Sister Enen, are you okay?”

“Ah! Your hands are scalded. I’ll bring a wet towel over.”

Chi Enen stood up and forced a smile. “I’m fine. I’ll get the medication myself.”

“Alright.”

Seeing that she was quite seriously scalded, Wang Lin furrowed her brows and added,

“I’ll help you to apply for leave of absence from the grip when he comes later.”

“Okay, sorry to trouble you.”

Typically, a drama with a big cast and crew had a designated sickbay. In the event of any injuries, the actors and actresses could obtain medicine from the sickbay directly.

Chi Enen took a tube of ointment for burns at the sickbay. Just as she walked out, she met the person that she least wanted to meet.

“Enen?”

Sheng Aiyi looked surprised when she called her.

Chi Enen could not play dumb even if she wanted to. She moved forward and greeted the group of people politely, “Director, assistant director, Sister Sheng, good morning.”

“Young Master Jue, good morning.”

Sheng Aiyi’s smiley eyes landed on Chi Enen’s hand. “Eh? What’s that? Enen, did you scald your hand?”

Li Beijue looked over.

Chi Enen hid her hands behind her. “I accidentally spilled a mug.”

“Oh, I see. Enen, be more careful next time. It’s not pretty for a lady to have scars.” Sheng Aiyi held onto the man’s arms and said smilingly, “Coincidentally, we’re heading for the film set. Let’s go there together.”

In her heart, Chi Enen wanted very much to decline. However, the director, assistant director and so many people were present. They could crush a calefare like her at any point in time. Despite the reluctance, she had to follow along by their side.

The accompanying people were all higher-ups. They looked majestic when they moved in a group. Chi Enen stood at the end of the line, with Sheng Aiyi and Li Beijue just in front of her.

She was not sure what the two were chatting about. Sheng Aiyi was smiling like a flower, and it was rare that the man with a cold and aloof expression responded to Sheng Aiyi without giving the latter any cold shoulders.

Such gentleness was in stark contrast to the viciousness and cruelty when he faced her.

Chi Enen could not help but slow down her steps.

Unfortunately, the director suddenly turned back and teased, “Aiyi, when are you and Young Master Jue getting married?”

Aiyi looked at Li Beijue nervously, for fear that he would expose their relationship. Just as she was thinking of how to change the topic, she heard the man’s low and deep voice answer, “We still wish to interact with each other for a longer time.”

He… what?

Sheng Aiyi felt as though her heart was fed with honey. She quickly sung the same tune, “Director Li, I don’t wish to get married so soon. Why does it sound like I will be left on the shelves if I don’t?”

“You won’t be left on the shelves. Of course, you won’t. Our Aiyi is so beautiful and capable. Which man doesn’t fancy you? Well, Young Master Jue likes you very much.”

Li Beijue looked at the woman behind him. “Yes.”

He did not believe that this woman would not have even the slightest reaction!

Chi Enen had long heard about the impending marriage. Hence, she was not the least surprised. She followed behind, minding her own business.

Li Beijue had been secretly observing Chi Enen’s every move. At the sight that she did not have any reaction right from the beginning, he suddenly felt breathless, as if a huge stone was bearing down on his chest.

He clenched his fists. This damn woman. Did she really not care or was she playing hard to get?!

Coincidentally, at this juncture, a few odd-jobbers at the corner were pushing a prop cart and running towards them quickly.

“Please make way. Please make way.”

They had turned the cart too quickly and Chi Enen’s mind was occupied so she did not manage to avoid them. She slipped and had a fall.

One of the odd-jobbers stopped and helped her up. “Are you okay?”

Chi Enen was in so much pain that she could not stand up. She endured the pain and shook her head. “I’m fine. Please carry on with your work.”

Sheng Aiyi also stopped in her tracks and walked over anxiously. “Enen, are you okay?”

Chi Enen wanted to say that she was fine.

Li Beijue’s gaze suddenly landed on the blood stain on the edge of her pants. His countenance changed. Looking pale, he kicked and overturned the prop cart, quickened his steps and walked over to Chi Enen.

“Move away!”

“Young Master Jue?” Sheng Aiyi was stunned as this was the first time that she heard him speaking to her in such a tone.

Li Beijue had already pulled her away. He bent down, carried the person on the ground and headed to the sickbay at a tearing pace.

“Young Master Jue!” Sheng Aiyi’s expression changed greatly and she shouted after him.

The man who was walking at lighting speed did not intend to stop. He had already disappeared at the corner.

Director Li and the group looked at one another, asking curiously, “Aiyi, does Young Master Jue know that lady?”

Sheng Aiyi’s expression looked ugly. She tugged the corners of her lips and tried to act casual. “Yes, we had a meal together before. Enen is Young Master Jue’s friend. Most likely, he brought Enen to check on her injury as her fall seemed quite serious. Director Li, don’t need to bother about them. Let’s continue.”

Without a trace of doubt, she positioned the relationship between Li Beijue and Chi Enen as good friends and conveniently explained why Li Beijue’s reaction was so strong when Chi Enen fell.

However, she could only deceive others but not herself with this reason.

Young Master Jue and Chi Enen…

Sheng Aiyi’s heart was contracted into sharp and cold needles!

“Oh, okay.” At the sight of her awkward expression, the director retracted his gaze suspiciously and continued to walk ahead.
