"Bang bang bang!"

A loud knocking sounded at the door...

Qin Wan and Huo Yu exchanged a glance, took a step back, and opened the door.

"Qin Wan, Huo Yu, don't you two think you've gone too far?!"

"Even when you've crossed the river, you're already dismantling the bridge—you guys are quick to do it!"

"Han Yuanyuan was just sent abroad, and now you want to kick me out too?"

Before Qin Wan and Huo Yu could respond or explain, Su Jin turned her accusing gaze toward Huo Yu.

"Huo Yu, what good will it do to drive me away?"

"Qin Wan is so beautiful, and she's so naive and easy to fool. She's also the only heir of the Qin family."

"If you leave her alone in the entertainment industry, a place full of all sorts of people, do you think there will be few boys who want to get close to her?"

"..." Huo Yu's thin lips were pressed tightly together.

"But I'm different."

"Qin Wan and I have known each other for so many years. If there were really something between us, it wouldn't be your turn to get involved, would it?"

Huo Yu's eyes darkened, and his gaze towards Su Jin became dangerous.

"So, keeping me on set is entirely beneficial for both you and Qin Wan."

"Besides, you carefully chose this role for me, so that I could protect Qin Wan, right?"

"Didn't you also want to use this role to remind me to watch my words and actions, and to be mindful of my identity?"

Huo Yu pursed his thin lips and remained silent.

What Su Jin said makes sense.

Compared to him, the other male actors in the crew did indeed face higher risks and more uncontrollable factors.

"Besides, you two think about it. If you replace me now, there will definitely be other male actors to take my place."

"Can you two guarantee that the new male actor won't be attracted to Qin Wan's beauty or covet her status as the eldest daughter of the Qin family?"

"The entertainment industry is such a mixed bag; how many of the male and female celebrities who struggle here are simple people?"

"Don't those male actors and entertainers know what marrying Qin Wan means to them?"

"Marrying Qin Wan would be a sure way to rise to the top!"

"You can avoid a lifetime of struggle!"

"Although the Qin family is not as powerful as the Huo family, it is still a very important family among the wealthy families in the capital."

Su Jin got more and more carried away as she talked, and all sorts of comments kept popping out.

Seeing that Qin Wan had no reaction, Su Jin could only turn her gaze back to Huo Yu.

"I've finished speaking. Think it over carefully: do you want to replace me or keep me?"

Huo Yu stared at Su Jin with a deep gaze for a long time...

Finally, he pulled Qin Wan away without saying a word.

Watching their departing figures, Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness.

Luckily, he reacted quickly, and luckily, he's smart.

Although he knew there was no possibility between him and Qin Wan.

Although he abandoned this seedling that had just sprouted and hadn't even had a chance to grow before it was forcibly nipped in the bud.

But no matter what, the feeling of being manipulated and having one's fate decided by others is very unpleasant.

In particular, why should Huo Yu be able to summon him at will and dismiss him at will?

When we need him, we assign him to the film crew.

They'll turn their backs on you the moment they've used you!

shameless!

That's absolutely shameless!

Su Jin grew angrier the more he thought about it, so angry that he couldn't help but kick the door hard.

I'm so angry!!!

He must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to have met Huo Yu.

In front of the camera, Qin Wan was pressed down into a lounge chair by Huo Yu, who gently stroked the top of her head with his large hand.

"good."

Then, Huo Yu took the script and called Director Xu over.

"Add another character?" Huo Yu suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Director Xu was stunned and looked at Huo Yu with a blank expression.

"Add...what character?"

Huo Yu glanced at the script in his hand and said, "I don't think it's very reasonable for Xiang Xun'er to go abroad."

Director Xu was taken aback. "So, Mr. Huo, what do you mean?"

"As the eldest daughter of the Xiang family, Xiang Xun'er has been beautiful and outstanding since childhood. She is kind-hearted, gentle, academically excellent, and capable. Such an outstanding girl should have suitors."

Upon hearing this, Director Xu nodded in agreement, "That's true. In fact, Xiang Xun'er in the drama also has suitors, but because she is a supporting actress, this point is simply glossed over."

Huo Yu nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Give Xiang Xun'er an official partner."

"Okay." Director Xu felt that this suggestion was not unreasonable.

The main reason is that Qin Wan's acting skills are good, and her appearance and character styling in the drama are really impeccable.

Of course, the most important thing is that Huo Yu is the biggest investor, not just a simple supporting actor.

Even if the male and female leads were replaced, he wouldn't dare say a word.

However, just as Director Xu was pondering how to discuss with the screenwriter what kind of character to add and which actor to cast, Huo Yu's next words left Director Xu stunned on the spot.

"I will act in it myself."

Director Xu: "???"

"Mr. Huo?"

"Is there a problem?" Huo Yu raised his eyes and glanced at him indifferently.

The moment their eyes met, Director Xu froze and blurted out, "No problem."

"I immediately called the screenwriter over to discuss script revisions."

"I'll submit the revised version to Mr. Huo for his review as soon as possible," Director Xu said sensibly.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yu nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Seeing this, Director Xu didn't dare to delay for a moment and picked up the script to discuss revisions with the screenwriter.

Watching Director Xu's hurried departure, and then looking at Huo Yu beside him, who still had a faint look of displeasure in his eyes.

Qin Wan thought for a moment and said, "How about I retire after filming this movie?"

"No need." Huo Yu gazed at her tenderly.

"I'll accompany you in every drama you're in from now on," Huo Yu suddenly promised.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan was truly stunned.

"You mean... you want to act in a movie with me?" Qin Wan blinked, looking at Huo Yu in front of her with a blank expression.

"You're unwilling?" Huo Yu asked instead of answering, his eyes swirling with emotion.

Qin Wan quickly shook her head and explained, "I'm not unwilling."

"I was just thinking that you're so busy, besides Tiancheng Entertainment, you also have Huo family matters to deal with."

“Under these circumstances, you still filmed with me... I was worried about you, I was afraid you were working too hard and getting too tired.”

Seeing the undisguised tenderness and concern in Qin Wan's eyes, Huo Yu smiled.

"fine."

"Tiancheng Entertainment is on the right track, and there's not much for me to worry about."

"Moreover... if I really had to choose between you and Tiancheng Entertainment, without a doubt, I would choose you."

"Tiancheng Entertainment is only a part of my career, but you are my whole life."

"So don't worry, and don't be upset about it."

It has to be said that Huo Yu is truly a straight man, but his straightforward approach made Qin Wan's heart flutter uncontrollably...

Qin Wan's red lips curved into a smile, her burning gaze fixed intently on Huo Yu...

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qin Wan did something that neither Huo Yu nor anyone else present expected...
