Shen Shi's younger sister was kidnapped when she was a child and her whereabouts are still unknown.

The disappearance of her younger sister cast a long shadow over their once happy little family. Shen Shi hated kidnapping the most.

When he saw someone trying to drag a young woman away, he stepped forward without hesitation.

"If you don't want to go to jail, get out of here!" Shen Shi said in a cold voice.

Just when they thought they had succeeded, a shrewd man suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

"You dare to stand up all by yourself? You've got some nerve! Mind your own business!"

"A sum of money is enough to devour humanity," the burly man in black roared menacingly at him.

"So what if I don't care?" Seeing that the kidnapper was still stubborn, Chen Shi made a clean and decisive move, throwing a right hook.

The sound of flesh hitting the ground rang out.

"Your mother!"

Just as the two men, enraged, were about to gang up on Shen Shi, Xiao Ming and his men rushed over, and the two were quickly taken away by the police.

"Isn't this the president of Starry Sky Entertainment? How come you two are together?" Xiao Ming asked, puzzled.

"Huh?" Shen Shi was genuinely shocked this time.

You may plant flowers with care, but they may not bloom; you may plant willows without intention, and they may thrive.

The appearance of Mu Lengshan gave him hope again.

If you can cultivate a good relationship with the president of the Mu Group, you'll have access to a good amount of film resources—as many as you want.

When Mu Lengshan woke up, she found herself in an unfamiliar room.

"woke up."

Seeing that the woman on the bed had opened her eyes, Chen Shi smiled and asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Would you like something to eat?"

Mu Lengshan looked toward the source of the sound.

How could it be him!

The surprise at seeing Shen Shi outweighed the unease of being in an unfamiliar environment.

"I...I'm fine..." Mu Lengshan stammered.

Her nervous reaction alerted Shen Shi, who felt that she was somewhat afraid of him. Why was that?

The president of the Mu Group should be decisive and ruthless, but at this moment, Mu Lengshan's face showed the demeanor of a young girl.

This reminded Shen Shi of the expressions on the faces of the audience at his concerts, and he immediately understood.

Chen deliberately took two steps forward, displaying her most perfect side with the professionalism of an idol.

"Oh, are you hungry? I'll have my assistant bring some food up," he asked gently.

Mu Lengshan blushed when he suddenly approached her, her eyes darting around in a panic, and she didn't dare to meet Shen Shi's gaze.

"I'm not hungry!" she quickly waved her hand and said.

Seeing her expression, Shen Shi became even more certain of his guess.

How did I get here?

Mu Lengshan only vaguely remembered that she suddenly lost consciousness after drinking the coffee.

He suspected someone wanted to harm him, but he just didn't know why Shen Shi was there.

"When I came out of the hotel, I saw you lying unconscious on the ground, with two men in black next to you. They didn't look like good people. They were trying to drag you away, but I stopped them," Shen Shi explained.

It turned out that he was the one who saved her; a warm feeling washed over Mu Lengshan.

No wonder he's my idol, handsome and kind-hearted!

"Mr. Shen is such a kind-hearted person!" Mu Lengshan praised with starry eyes.

"How do you know my surname is Chen? Do you know me?" Chen Shi instantly grasped the key point and asked Mu Lengshan knowingly.

How did I give myself away?! The little voice in Mu Lengshan's mind went crazy.

But Chen Shi was still waiting for her answer. Mu Lengshan had a sudden inspiration and came up with an excuse: "I saw it on TV."

"Oh." Shen Shi nodded with a smile. "It seems I have quite a reputation."

His words were quite meaningful, and Mu Lengshan could barely maintain her composure.

After this incident, Shen Shi and Mu Lengshan also got in touch.

Mu Lengshan's identity made Shen Shi very patient with her. He would send her messages every day, and when he had to hand in his phone to do variety shows, he would also make sure to let her know.

It provides a wealth of emotional value.

Mu Lengshan felt she had found love; how could anyone be so good to her!

Moreover, this person was Shen Shi, her idol whom she had always dreamed of.

Mu Lengshan has been smiling at her phone more and more frequently lately.

Even the assistant couldn't help but ask curiously, "What good thing happened to President Mu that makes you so happy?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Lengshan's lips curled into a smile, and she said in exasperation, "Focus on your work and stop gossiping!"

She said this, but her face turned red.

If things had continued this way, it was highly likely that Shen Shi would have started dating Mu Lengshan.

From then on, she rose to prominence, achieving the pinnacle of life.

But Chen Shi didn't want to be like that. Being a gigolo wasn't his dream. He just wanted to use Mu Lengshan as a stepping stone and use resources to become a movie star.

As the two got along better and better, the sparks flew.

Mu Lengshan was completely devoted to the relationship, but Shen Shi was already thinking about his next move.

Dating was never his purpose in approaching Mu Lengshan. The Mu family was wealthy and powerful, but they had nothing to lack.

Shen Shi's success today is inseparable from his ambition; he clearly knows what he wants.

In order to achieve his goal, Chen Shi began to ignore Mu Lengshan, and his reply speed changed from instantaneous to replying every other day.

Mu Lengshan could certainly sense the change in him, but she didn't understand why.

Weren't we having a good chat? Why did it suddenly turn like this? She was caught in a deep internal struggle.

Little did they know that Chen Shi was deliberately using passive-aggressive tactics.

Half a month passed, and Shen Shi's contact with her became less and less frequent.

The two, who used to be inseparable, gradually became estranged. Several times, she opened the chat box, wanting to say a few words to him, even if it was just to talk about what to eat.

But upon seeing Shen Shi's indifferent attitude, she couldn't help but feel timid.

Does he hate me now? The thought of this possibility made Mu Lengshan's heart ache so much she could hardly breathe.

The deeper the love, the easier it is to compromise.

Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer, "Let's meet!"

After much hesitation, Mu Lengshan sent the message to Chen Shi.

Then she stared nervously at the chat interface, and a "ding" sounded. "What time? Where?"

Shen agreed.

The agreed meeting place was a winery.

Because of Shen Shi's celebrity status, Mu Lengshan was afraid that the lack of secrecy would cause him trouble, so she chose to use one of her own properties.

"Why have you been ignoring me all this time?!" Mu Lengshan asked bluntly as soon as they met.

Shen Shi was momentarily stunned by her directness.

However, he did not answer Mu Lengshan's question, but instead asked her in return, "You like me, don't you?"

This was something they both tacitly understood, but now Shen Shi has revealed it.

Normally, Mu Lengshan would probably have admitted it, after all, there's nothing wrong with liking someone, and she's always been someone who dares to love and hate.

But she caught the questioning tone in Shen Shi's voice.

"No, you're overthinking it."

Mu Lengshan denied it, saying one thing but meaning another.
