Yun Shishi could not help getting worked up. She glared fiercely at Gao Nan.

  The latter also appeared to be cognizant of a critical look directed at him from a corner and followed this feeling to see her standing there. He looked stunned, seemingly caught off guard by her appearance on such an occasion.

  When Hua Jin saw the actress’s expression looking off, he gently embraced her shoulders. “Shishi, what’s wrong?”


  Only then did she get a grip on herself. She realized that she should not reveal her emotions too much in front of everyone here. There were some things that had to be resolved in private; hence, she reined in her expression.

  The man looked at her unblinkingly and seemed to realize, at once, the reason for the angry look on her face!

  He curled his lips into an insincere smile and said to the lady standing next to him, “Ji Yan, introduce everyone!”


  The lady immediately introduced them, one by one, enthusiastically.

  When it was the actress at the corner’s turn to be introduced, Ji Yan took the man’s arm, walked up to her, and made a grand introduction. “Gao Nan, this is Shishi—Yun Shishi. You should know her, right? The movie she acted in, ‘The Green Apple’, incurred a phenomenal box office. Now, she’s a big celebrity; do you know?”


  The man smiled and nodded slightly; that insincere smile remained pasted on his face. “Well, naturally I know her. I’ve even seen her movie.”


  He had watched it with Xiao Xue, in fact.

  When Xiao Xue pestered him to see the show, he whined for a while. The man did not like watching dogged romantic dramas, yet because he was her partner, he accompanied her to the cinema.

  Turned out that it was a film starring her best friend!

  “Shishi, this is Gao Nan, my boyfriend!”


  Raising her eyebrow, Yun Shishi tried to restrain the anger in her heart and gave a faint smile. “He’s your boyfriend, huh, and both of you are two months into the relationship?”


  “Eh, that’s right!” The other actress did not detect anything strange about the question. Instead, she happily snuggled on his shoulder, smiling. “We met in a bar!”


  The protagonist suddenly felt a heaviness in her chest, which made her a little breathless. She glanced at the starlet and then her boyfriend before smiling through gnashed teeth. “Bless you! Ji Yan, your boyfriend is very handsome.”


  The noise of the bar covered up her angry gnashing.

  All they could hear was her: ‘Bless you!’


  “Thank you!” replied the other woman with a blush.

  All this while, Gao Nan was looking at her sans moving a muscle and with a profound gaze.

  Suddenly, he flashed a meaningful smile before turning his head away.

  His girlfriend then continued to introduce him to the rest of the crew with her hands on his arm.

  The party officially started after Gao Nan’s arrival.

  Ji Yan did not specifically mention the elite background the man came with, but the production team was composed of people with sharp acumen and could tell that the man had a lofty background by his exceptional aura.

  The party opened with a few bottles of liquor. Soon, being accompanied by the bar’s explosive music, the atmosphere reached a climax.

  As the crowd mingled, Yun Shishi could subtly sense a pair of eyes trained on her. She looked up to catch Gao Nan staring right at her.

  Ji Yan, who was busy drinking, did not realize the strange behavior between the two for a while. Time passed by unknowingly, and when half of the alcohol was consumed, many crew members were already half-drunk. Ji Yan’s alcohol consumption was amazingly good, showing no sign of intoxication despite drinking so much!
