[Ding! Shen Tianye's favorability +3, host, keep up the good work!]

Chu Xinxin heard the system's announcement in her mind and reached out to push Shen Tianye backward.

Shen Tianye released her, his eyes shining brightly, clearly having enjoyed the kiss.

Chu Xinxin: "Are you a dog? You bit my lip until it bled, and I still have to film like this later."

"Then I won't go." Shen Tianye took out his phone: "I'll ask for leave for you."

Chu Xinxin: "Taking leave will result in a deduction in pay."

"Do you think I'm short of that little bit of money?" Shen Tianye pinched Chu Xinxin's cheek. "Do you have some misunderstanding about me?"

Chu Xinxin: "I wouldn't dare spend President Chen's money. What if one day I receive another announcement from Shengtian Group terminating all cooperation..."

Feeling annoyed by the dredging up of old grievances, Shen Tianye decided to change the subject: "Oh, by the way, I bought you some things."

"What?"

"Outside."

Chu Xinxin opened the door, and there was a cart outside, piled high with barbecue, milk tea, and spicy hot pot...

As expected, he's a food delivery person.

"Do you raise pigs?" Chu Xinxin asked.

Shen Tianye: "Yes, Chu Zhuzhu."

Chu Xinxin dug her own hole and jumped in.

......

It was quite late when Chu Xinxin finished her late-night snack.

Shen Tianye was working at his desk with his glasses on. Chu Xinxin stared at him for a long time, but Shen Tianye didn't even look up.

"President Shen, I need to rest."

Shen Tianye pretended not to hear.

"Shen Tianye!"

Shen Tianye couldn't keep up the act any longer: "The room is full."

"You're worth hundreds of millions, and you still can't find a place to live?"

Shen Tianye leaned back in his chair, looking tired: "It's too late."

Chu Xinxin hesitated.

Sister, he sacrificed his rest time these past few days to deal with the Wang and Ning families so he could come see you.

The system's tone was suggestive: "It's so late, kicking him out... isn't that a good idea?"

Shen Tianye: "I'll leave at four in the morning. I'll take a nap on the sofa later. You should rest first. I won't disturb you."

Chu Xinxin's heart softened.

Once Chu Xinxin's breathing became even.

Shen Tianye stopped working, walked to the bedside, and lay down next to Chu Xinxin.

When Chu Xinxin falls asleep, she likes to hug her pillow. Her soft, black hair spreads across the snow-white sheets, making her skin appear even whiter than snow.

Shen Tianye touched the lips that had just been kissed and were slightly red with his fingertips, his eyes darkened, and he pulled the person into his arms.

He murmured, "Don't leave..."

......

The next day, Chu Xinxin woke up because of the heat.

I opened my eyes in a daze and saw that my chin was covered in green shavings again.

Looking up, you see Shen Tianye's handsome face.

Shen Tianye had already woken up and was staring at her intently.

"Didn't you say the flight was at four o'clock...?"

Shen Tianye lied without changing his expression: "I rescheduled."

Chu Xinxin: "Show me the rescheduled order."

Shen Tianye naturally couldn't produce any evidence, and Chu Xinxin pretended to hit him, but her eyes fell on the six-pointed star.

"Shen Tianye, do you think there will be another you in another world?"

Chu Xinxin asked casually.

Although she only glanced at the six-pointed star, Shen Tianye still caught it.

He hugged Chu Xinxin tighter: "No, no matter where, there is only one Shen Tianye."

......

After breakfast, Shen Tianye went to the film set with Chu Xinxin to film.

Shen Tianye sat next to the director and watched, his domineering aura making the director extremely uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, this scene also features a romantic subplot between the male and female leads.

When Shen Tianye saw the male actor hugging his Chu Zhuzhu, his eyes suddenly filled with rage and his face swelled with fury, radiating an aura of "touch me again and I'll kill you."

The male actor was terrified by his gaze, and acted very cautiously, unable to let go at all, and was "caught" many times.

However, this is a vicious cycle.

The male actor's performance was "cut," so they had to start over. Each retake meant he had to hug Chu Xinxin again, which made Chen Tianye even angrier. The angrier he got, the worse his performance became, and the more he'd be yelled "cut!"

"take a break."

The director had no choice but to call a stop, gesturing to Chu Xinxin to quickly remove this big Buddha statue.

Chu Xinxin pulled the person to her lounge.

"You're staying here for now, and you're not allowed to go to the film set again."

"I don't......"

“We could have finished filming an hour earlier, but if you go to the set, we might not be able to finish filming until the early hours of the morning.”

Shen Tianye sat on the sofa and looked up at Chu Xinxin: "Then we won't film it. I'll find a female actress to replace you. You'll come back to City A with me."

Chu Xinxin's eyes sparkled: "Really...really? Then could you help me cancel all my work for the second half of the year?"

Shen Tianye hesitated, somewhat incredulously: "...Yes, it's possible."

"I don't want to work anymore, can you help me terminate my contract?"

"no problem."

"Oh, then wouldn't it be best to use a rope or chain like this..." Chu Xinxin lifted Shen Tianye's tie and wrapped it around her hand, "like this, tie me up, so I can't go anywhere every day, and I'll just stay obediently at your house, waiting for you to come home from get off work every day?"

Shen Tianye's throat bobbed: "I'll book the tickets."

[Ding! Shen Tianye's favorability +1, host, keep up the good work!]

Chu Xinxin laughed angrily and slapped his hand away: "You're dreaming. You'd better wait here."

Shen Tianye put away his phone unhappily.

......

Chu Xinxin finished filming at 10 p.m.

After removing her makeup, she walked to the parking lot with Shen Tianye.

Shen Tianye flew all the way here but sat in the lounge all afternoon, looking quite unwell. It was only after Chu Xinxin took his hand that he recovered somewhat.

The two were so engrossed in their sweet nothings that they didn't notice a venomous gaze fixed on them from behind.

"Hey, are you ready?"

"Don't worry, I guarantee they won't come back. When will the rest of the money be transferred?"

"After it's done."

"Your Ning family is bankrupt but still has money?"

"Just focus on your business. Even if you go bankrupt, I can still come up with a million!"

After hearing this, the other party chuckled twice and hung up the phone.

Ningman gripped his phone tightly and got into another car.

...

After Shen Tianye got into the car, he received a phone call—

"...Well, she's away on a business trip this week, we'll talk about it when she gets back...it's not certain yet, I've already asked her if she's willing..."

Chu Xinxin felt that they were talking about her, so she couldn't help but prick up her ears to listen.

[It's a phone call from Shen's mother; she wants Shen Tianye to take you back to the Shen family.]

The system is eavesdropping.

Chu Xinxin: "I have a premonition..."

What a premonition.

"Tonight, my favorability rating will reach its maximum and soar to new heights."

[Come on, last time it was stuck for so many days, and it's going to drop a few points again and again, unless you two make it a done deal tonight... hehehe.]

"Half of your system's memory is probably just yellow junk."

Physical contact is one of the best ways for humans to strengthen relationships...

Chu Xinxin was chatting with the system, completely unaware that a truck was gradually accelerating and chasing after her from behind.

After finishing his call, Shen Tianye turned to Chu Xinxin and said, "My family wants me to take you home for a meal next weekend. You can refuse if you don't want to go."

Chu Xinxin moved closer to Shen Tianye, leaning against his shoulder, and asked, "Whether I refuse or not is another matter, but why should I go?"

Shen Tianye was taken aback: "My parents want to see you..."

Chu Xinxin: "Why do you want to see me?"

Shen Tianye replied matter-of-factly, "Because you are my girlfriend."

Chu Xinxin: "Really? How come I didn't know? Sigh, no one has ever asked me..."

They've already kissed, so what else could she be but his girlfriend?

Shen Tianye's phone screen lit up. His secretary, Yang, had sent a WeChat message: "Hurry up and confess your feelings! Ask her if she wants to be your girlfriend, wife, or anything else!!!"

The car entered the right-turn lane and went onto the overpass.

Shen Tianye looked up at Secretary Yang, then turned to look at Chu Xinxin, just as he was about to confess his feelings, when suddenly everything went dark.

He and Chu Xinxin looked back together, and a truck over three meters long, nearly four meters long, rushed up from their left rear, its tires, more than a meter high, heading straight for Shen Tianye—

In that instant, Shen Tianye only had time to see the truck driver's crazed and bloodshot eyes—

"careful!"

Chu Xinxin lunged forward and hugged Shen Tianye's head...

"Bang!"

The truck slammed into their car. It happened to be a turn, and Shen Tianye's car crashed through the guardrail and flew out. Due to inertia, it flipped half a circle in the air before landing heavily face down on the hard concrete ground.

The truck drove off without stopping, clanging and rattling.

The bodyguards who were hit by the truck behind them rushed down the pedestrian stairs of the overpass.

Stepping through the shards of glass, they opened the car door. Inside, four people were covered in blood and unconscious.
