When Yan Xi returned home, it was almost ten o’clock after washing up. She was about to go out to find the hairdryer when she heard her phone ring

  She looked at it and saw that it was all messages from Gu An.

  “Help! Xixi! Did you talk to Fourth Brother about it? There are already brands wanting to terminate the contract with me. What can I

  do?”


  “Xixi, help me. I’m about to cry. Boohoo!”


  Looking at the screen flooded with messages, Yan Xi smiled awkwardly because she forgot all about it.

  But when she saw Gu Shen in that state, she naturally couldn’t think of anything else.

  Yan Xi quickly wrapped her hair with a towel, changed into her pajamas, and went to look for Gu Shen next door. After knocking on the door, a flat voice was heard.

  “Come in.”


  As soon as Yan Xi pushed the door open and entered, she heard a male speaking in an angry voice.

  [No! Shen Zhao! You are mine. Nothing can happen to you without my permission!]

  Yan Xi was struck numb for a moment before recalling the name, Shen Zhao. It seemed to be the name of the role Gu An played in her newest drama.

  “Why are you watching Gu An’s drama?” Yan Xi shuffled towards him.

  “Just contributing my view. Other than me, who would waste their time watching this crap!” His tone was filled with disdain.

  “Shall we watch it together?”


  Gu Shen did not speak but he budged to give space for Yan Xi.

  Yan Xi chuckled and sat down beside him, then started to tell him about this drama.

  “Let me tell you. Shen Zhao would be fine this time. She knew the wine Princess An gave her was poisoned. She drank it deliberately just to bring down Princess An. Later, when Princess An begged for mercy and said that she had no choice, Shen Zhao would forgive her. However, eventually she killed Princess An because she killed her dear sister.”


  “Also, not only does the emperor like Shen Zhao, but also Chen King and the Lie King. They met secretly in the imperial garden and were almost seen by the emperor.”


  Gu Shen listened patiently, his expression getting weirder and weirder. He finally understood why the rating for this drama had only three stars out of ten.

  He had no intention of looking at it anymore, so he put away the laptop. “You said you wanna watch the drama with me but you didn’t say you were going to tell me everything about this drama.”


  Yan Xi blinked and looked innocent. “I was trying to save your time.”


  “You have a lot of excuses. Tell me, why are you looking for me?”


  “Gu An called me this afternoon.” Yan Xi paused. Seeing that Gu Shen’s expression was calm, she continued, “She told me that you want her to leave the entertainment industry and go to the Gu Media to help.”


  “So?” Gu Shen was very frank. “Did she bribe you to persuade me?”


  “I’m not trying to persuade you. I just think that it’s a pity for her to leave the entertainment industry like this. Her acting skills are indeed improving. She just needs a good script. I feel that her chance is coming.” “Chance? With her current reputation, what makes you think she will have a chance?” Gu Shen looked at Yan Xi with a mocking gaze. “You do believe her.”


  “Of course I trust my best friend!” Yan Xi said firmly.

  “How much did you charge her?” “I didn’t charge her a penny. I am serious. I think we should let Gu An try again. Anyway, she’s still young and has many chances to try and make mistakes.”


  This was what Gu Shen had told Gu An.

  “Weren’t you always supportive of her choice? Why are you not this time?”


  “Gu An is too stupid to stay in the entertainment industry.”


  A naive girl like Gu An wasn’t suitable to be in this messy business.

  Glancing at Yan Xi’s calf, Gu Shen became angry suddenly. If Yan Xi didn’t have good driving skills, Gu Shen felt that he might not have been able to see her again.

  The feeling of almost losing someone he treasured made him frustrated.

  “I won’t comment on Gu An’s acting, but her reputation and popularity are terrible.”
