"Ha, Jiang Hua is the young mistress of the Gu family." A heavily made-up woman said with disdain and jealousy, "Isn't it only natural for her husband to visit the set?"

A minor actress flicked her thick bangs. She overheard the staff around her gossiping about Gu Yiming and Jiang Hua. Her attention was entirely on Gu Yiming, and gazing at him with infatuated eyes, she blurted out, "I'm so envious..."

Indeed, Gu Yiming's aura, the unique masculine charm of a mature man, is undeniably attractive. Jiang Hua felt a little uncomfortable; seeing her man being scrutinized like that by someone else inadvertently stirred up her jealousy, which had been building up for ten years.

Jiang Hua was pulled by Gu Yiming all the way to the director's side. Even though the staff members covered their mouths and whispered about her, Jiang Hua wasn't deaf. She just ignored their gossip and decided to avoid them.

Jiang Hua was deep in thought when a sharp pain in her wrist pulled her out of her own world.

"What are you thinking about? I'll take you to rest for a while. Filming is so tiring, I'll give you a break," Gu Yiming whispered into Jiang Hua's ear.

Jiang Hua's ears turned bright red from Gu Yiming's breathing as he spoke.

Gu Yiming faced the group of staff and actors opposite him, his eyes cold yet slightly intimidatingly authoritative. "If my wife suffers any injustice here, I will repay you tenfold. I, Gu Yiming, mean what I say."

"Cough cough..." Jiang Hua coughed awkwardly.

The group of young newcomers who had just been swooning over Gu Yiming were now intimidated by his words, feeling both admiration and fear.

Gu Yiming turned around and said to the director in a tone that left no room for negotiation, "I want to have a good talk with my wife. Her time this morning is mine, so I'm taking it with me. If there are any losses, please contact me. Thank you, director."

The director, who had been sitting, had been standing trembling for a long time. Perhaps the rustling sounds on set had been silenced by Gu Yiming's words, and the temperature on set suddenly dropped.

"Okay, okay, we're not in a hurry to film. You guys chat, you guys chat." The director knew Gu Yiming's background, so he didn't dare to offend him and replied in a flattering tone.

Jiang Hua then said to the director, "Thank you, director, hahaha."

Seeing this awkward scene, Gu Yiming pulled Jiang Hua out of the film set. Gu Yiming led Jiang Hua away from the envious and jealous looks and whispers of the crowd. Su Wenwen couldn't help but sigh, "Behind every successful woman, there is a man."

Only after leaving the film set did Jiang Hua dare to speak loudly to Gu Yiming. Outside the film set, all was quiet, save for the noise of passing cars.

"You're holding on too tightly, Gu Yiming," Jiang Hua said angrily.

"If I don't hold on tight, how will you come with me?" Gu Yiming increased the pressure on his hands.

"Get in the car." Gu Yiming released Jiang Hua's hand. Jiang Hua gave a soft hum and obediently got into the car with Gu Yiming.

...

A few inconspicuous poplar trees flashed past Jiang Hua's eyes outside the car window. Inside the car, it was so quiet that only the sound of the air conditioner, Gu Yiming's steady breathing, and Jiang Hua's own heartbeat could be heard.

Suddenly a voice broke the silence, "Hey, what are you thinking about, you stupid woman?"

Gu Yiming's gaze wasn't on Jiang Hua, but Jiang Hua felt that Gu Yiming was staring intently at her out of the corner of his eye.

"Stupid??" Gu Yiming's tone seemed to carry a hint of anger. She was just out filming, doing what she liked, and had less time to spend with Gu Yiming.

“Yes, stupid.” Gu Yiming couldn’t help but say, thinking about how Su Qi bullied Jiang Hua. “If you were smarter, would you have been bullied like that by Su Qi?”

"I...I..." Jiang Hua was speechless after Gu Yiming spoke to her.

After all, it was a filming project, and she was taking it seriously. She was well aware that Su Qi was intentionally bullying and suppressing her, but as a newcomer, she couldn't resist Su Qi. Jiang Hua was just a little dependent on Gu Yiming.

Jiang Hua turned her head and saw that Gu Yiming seemed a little angry, so he was very quiet the whole way, less lively than before.

...

In the five-star hotel, the elegant and comfortable rooms are bathed in sunlight, and a sense of warmth wells up from within.

"Foolish woman, I'm willing to make up with you." Gu Yiming said, taking off his suit jacket as he spoke. "As long as you can satisfy me." Gu Yiming placed the suit jacket on the leather sofa next to him and strode over to Jiang Hua, who was standing nearby.

Jiang Hua understood what Gu Yiming meant. She nudged Gu Yiming, who was only a millimeter away from her, and said, "I... I'll go prepare something you'll like right away!"

Jiang Hua deliberately twisted Gu Yiming's meaning and then fled in panic.

Gu Yiming, who was left in the room, smiled silently, "She's... really charming."

...

The hotel receptionist was busy organizing the hotel's registration forms when a voice interrupted her work.

"Excuse me, where is the hotel kitchen? Could you please show me there?" Jiang Hua said to the elegant and beautiful woman.

"I'm so sorry, sir, it's not lunchtime here yet," the woman replied, clearly embarrassed.

"I want to prepare a gift for my husband and give him a surprise." Jiang Hua's ears turned red as she said this. "Excuse me, could you please use the hotel's kitchen?"

"Okay, please follow me."

...

As it approached midnight, Jiang Hua finally presented the cake she had carefully prepared. Although the hotel chef had helped, Jiang Hua still felt that this gift was of extraordinary significance.

"Gu Yiming should be satisfied now, right?" Jiang Hua wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hands covered in milk.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind me: "What could possibly satisfy me?"

Jiang Hua quickly turned her back to Gu Yiming and said, "Are you satisfied now?"

"I...made it for you myself." Jiang Hua was afraid that Gu Yiming, who was used to eating and seeing exquisite food, would be disappointed by her cake, so she stammered.

Mingming wanted to give Gu Yiming a satisfying surprise, but she didn't expect him to find her so quickly, so she took out her cake with its flawed appearance.

Gu Yiming found Jiang Hua's hesitant manner extremely endearing.

Although the cake Jiang Hua prepared didn't look good, Gu Yiming felt that even though Jiang Hua had twisted her face to make him somewhat satisfied, the cream on Jiang Hua's face made her look like a cat covered in cream, which was really cute.
