21st-century film empress Xu Xinchen is reborn into the body of Lu Minshi in the 1980s.
Facing a boyfriend who betrayed her and had an affair with her younger sister, and a two-faced stepmoth...
Chen Ningsheng felt Xu Xinchen's support, and his heart melted instantly. He reached out and touched Xu Xinchen's hair, nodded, and agreed.
"I understand, baby. Don't worry, I will handle this matter properly." Although he said this, Chen Ningsheng had already made up his mind.
He would never wrong Xu Xinchen, no matter what. A girl as good as Xu Xinchen should not be wronged in any way.
While the two were chatting, Lem on stage finished explaining his design concept. He put away his manuscript and immediately walked over to Xu Xinchen and Chen Ningsheng after stepping off the stage.
"Hey, you two, what are you talking about that's making you so happy? Can I listen in too?"
Xu Xinchen looked at Lyme, who was leaning his face close to hers, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Alright, alright, move your face away a little, don't get in the way of my view of the design drafts."
Xu Xinchen had already heard from Chen Ningsheng that Chen Ningsheng would come to see her yesterday, and knew that the majority of the credit for her rescue was due to Lem.
Because Lyme really did go looking for Chen Ningsheng as she said, Chen Ningsheng thought of coming out to meet her, and that's why he was able to catch up with her in time to save her.
If it weren't for Lyme, she might have really met with misfortune yesterday. Therefore, Xu Xinchen is now full of gratitude towards Lyme and no longer feels distant from her, but rather feels closer to her.
Lem still doesn't know that his keeping his promise yesterday actually helped Xu Xinchen and saved her life.
He saw Xu Xinchen smiling at him, with a puzzled expression on her face.
"Miss Lu, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly smiling at me like that? Is there something I don't know about?"
Xu Xinchen no longer wanted to talk about yesterday; it was a nightmare. She nodded to Lyme and then spoke, half-jokingly.
"Yes, because you saved my life, I have to treat you like my savior now."
Lyme felt that he really couldn't understand what Xu Xinchen was saying at all. After thinking for a while, he turned to Chen Ningsheng for help: "Can you tell me what your girlfriend is saying? Why can't I understand a single word?"
Chen Ningsheng received Xu Xinchen's look and knew that Xu Xinchen did not want to bring up yesterday's events again, so he kept it a secret and did not tell Lem.
Instead, he curled his lips slightly and gave Lym a mischievous smile: "Since my girlfriend doesn't want to tell you, then I won't either. If you really want to know..."
As Chen Ningsheng spoke, he drew out his words, which amused Lem so much that he started pacing around anxiously: "If you really want to know, what do you want? Hurry up and tell me."
"Nothing much. I will never go against my girlfriend's wishes if she doesn't want to talk about something, so no matter how much you try to please me, it won't work."
Chen Ningsheng shrugged slightly, his face returning to its usual calm expression, though the smile in his eyes was impossible to hide.
Lyme slumped his head to the ground, looking dejected, and said in a particularly childish tone, "It's so great to have a partner. You can even chat with your friends in pairs. Unlike me, I'm all alone. When I talk to you guys, there's no one to help me."
Xu Xinchen shrugged slightly. She had actually overheard a bit of what Lem and William were saying when they were talking in the coffee shop that day.
Therefore, Xu Xinchen also knew that Lem was not short of suitors, but Lem himself had too high standards and did not find anyone he liked.
Thinking of the group of socialites William had mentioned chasing after Lyme, Xu Xinchen couldn't help but give Lyme a wicked smile: "So you're in such a hurry to find a partner? Then next time I see your brother, I don't mind telling him about it."
Lem immediately raised his palm and made a waving goodbye gesture to Xu Xinchen: "I can't respond to you like this. All those well-bred ladies are like the same template. Please don't tell my brother. I don't want to be tied to a template for the rest of my life."
Xu Xinchen only said those words as a joke, but seeing Lyme's performance, she naturally couldn't stop laughing.
However, halfway through her laughter, Xu Xinchen suddenly thought of something, and her heart gradually became heavy. In the end, her laughter completely disappeared, replaced by anger on her face.
Chen Ningsheng and Lem were both surprised by Xu Xinchen's behavior, especially Chen Ningsheng, who immediately stepped forward and asked her when he saw Xu Xinchen's brows furrowed.
"Baby, what's wrong? Did you think of something that's making you unhappy?"
Xu Xinchen finally snapped out of her thoughts. She first turned her head to look at Chen Ningsheng, who was squatting in front of her, and forced a smile at him.
Then he turned to look at Lem, who had been standing beside them, watching them laugh, and his smile became even more forced: "No... I... I'm fine..."
Seeing Xu Xinchen's behavior, how could Chen Ningsheng possibly believe her words? His eyes narrowed, and he looked at Xu Xinchen and said softly, "Baby, aren't you cute like this? You promised to tell me everything."
Xu Xinchen bit her lip and lowered her head in a panic. She really wanted to say what was on her mind, but she didn't dare!
Why did God play such a cruel joke? Lyme was the one who rescued her yesterday, but Lyme's brother happens to be the one who wanted to harm her!
How could Xu Xinchen possibly say such a thing in front of Lyme? She herself couldn't accept it. She could only give Chen Ningsheng a helpless smile and deny it again.
"No, it's nothing. I just felt a little unwell for a moment. There's nothing to be unhappy about."
