  “What do you mean by that?”


  Yun Shishi deliberated for some time before deciding to be frank with her friend. “Last night, Gao Nan appeared at a birthday party hosted by my co-actress in my current production team, but do you know in what capacity did he turn up as?”


  Her solemn expression got the other feeling somewhat uneasy all of a sudden. “W-What……”


  “Ji Yan, the birthday girl’s boyfriend. I was surprised to see him there at first, but the next second, my colleague went to welcome him with a kiss. She then brought him in with their arms locked together and introduced him as her boyfriend. In fact, they’ve been dating for two whole months.”


  Xiao Xue was stunned into stillness for a moment before she suddenly cracked up. “Shishi, that joke isn’t funny at all! Don’t crack such jokes; today isn’t April Fool’s Day!”


  The actress did not laugh along with her and merely watched her quietly. “I’m being serious here. None of it is a lie!”


  “.……” The smile on her friend’s face stiffened, turning fake as she tried to prevent it from slipping off. “How’s that possible?!”


  “Do you really know what sort of man he is?” She probed nervously. “Haven’t you seen his true colors at all after being with him for so long?”


  “Are you……” asked Xiao Yue hesitantly, “lying to me right now?”


  “Pardon?”


  “Did he somehow upset or bully you? Is that why you’re saying this to me?” She defended her boyfriend, by telling her friend, “He even chatted with me last night.”


  “His face is injured, right?” Yun Shishi tossed this critical question at her friend all of a sudden, which caused the latter to jolt in surprise.

  “Yes…… His eyes were bruised……”


  “Do you know who Hua Jin is?”


  “Yes! He’s the male lead of ‘Lethal Beauty’. He’s known for playing period characters.”


  “Last night, while I stood outside the ladies’ room, your boyfriend was being all touchy-feely to me and even said some really insulting things then. Guess what he said when I threatened to reveal his cheating affair on you.”


  Her bestie did not answer her, so she told her expressionlessly after a pause, “He can’t wait for me to tell you this because he’s long gotten sick of you; despite dating for so long, you guys have only hugged, held hands, and kissed. According to him, he’s fine with marrying any woman that his family approves of. The Xiaos may not be prestigious, but it’s still a well-to-do family. He said that his future wife is not to interfere with his private life once they get married. Do you know what that means? It means that you’ll be alone at home while you watch him fool around outside! Is the sort of life you’re dreaming of?”


  “Impossible!” Xiao Xue clenched her fists in agitation as her eyes turned red and her expression contorted slightly. “Shishi, that’s impossible! He’s not that sort of person. You have no idea how gentle and considerate he is toward me. He dotes on me like how one would dote on a little princess……”


  “Apparently, such special treatment isn’t only given to you.”


  “.……”


  “Do you not believe me? Do I need to get you eye-witnesses for you to believe my words? I’ve always treated you as my sister; I won’t lie to you.”
