Chu Yuan stubbornly insisted, "I didn't run away!"

"Feeling guilty?"

She laughed, her eyes crinkling, "Why would I feel guilty? I didn't do anything..."

The studio door slammed shut, and before Chu Yuan's lips were sealed, she saw Chen Si's cunning smile through the crack in the door!

Having not seen each other for more than half a month, even the appetizers were a bit overwhelming for her.

Ning Mochen pulled her to the bedside where he had just rehearsed with Gu Qingyan, "You..."

Chu Yuan didn't know what got into her, but she immediately begged for mercy, "No, President Ning, that was just acting. It's work, you know? Someone as focused on work as you should understand the hardships of a wage slave, right?"

Ning Mochen laughed silently.

Chu Yuan felt her scalp tingle even more, and said pitifully, "We've already used a prop, can you not be so strict?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man wrapped his arm around her waist, forcefully closing the distance between them. "What I was trying to say was, act it out again, for me to see. Just me!"

Chu Yuan hadn't had time to take off her costume yet.

Hearing this, my heart, which had been pounding wildly, finally calmed down a bit. I spread my hands and said, "How can I act? I can't perform without someone to act with."

But then she saw the man's gaze deepen, and in an instant, a thought flashed through Chu Yuan's mind: He... he... he wouldn't be thinking of...?

The truth is, Chu Yuan was right; that scoundrel really does have this fetish!

I especially love it when she initiates a kiss.

The two joked around in the studio for a while before changing their clothes and heading to the restaurant.

A dinner party hosted by someone of Ning Mochen's stature would certainly not be something like a roadside stall.

The entire crew, numbering in the dozens, booked an entire floor. The director, screenwriter, and several lead actors were all invited to dine in the same private room.

Ning Mochen sat firmly at the head of the table.

Whether intentionally or not, in the end, only the seat next to Ning Mochen remained empty.

Chu Yuan walked over somewhat awkwardly, and was about to sit down when Gu Qingyan, as if possessed, moved to the seat that Chu Yuan was originally going to sit in.

Ignoring Ning Mochen's veiled warning gaze.

He tugged at Chu Yuan's sleeve, "Sit next to me, I'll protect you."

Chu Yuan resisted the urge to roll her eyes, but it wasn't appropriate to show anything in front of so many people, so she sat down quietly.

The table was laden with delicacies, but she had little appetite.

Every now and then, he would secretly glance in Ning Mochen's direction.

The man didn't look at her, but was busy talking to Director He to his right.

The entire room fell silent as everyone listened to their conversation.

Ning Mochen has an elegant demeanor, a gentle voice, and excellent manners. He can talk eloquently about anything people say.

Suddenly, Director He somehow steered the conversation towards Gu Qingyan and even praised her a few times.

Ning Mochen picked up his glass and stood up. "That's right, Young Master Gu is very humble and doesn't care much about his image. Let's all toast him."

The moment he stood up, everyone instinctively stood up too; it was almost mesmerizing.

Only Chu Yuan, being rather slow-witted, got up a beat later.

Ning Mochen offered one cup, not enough, so he offered two more, knowing that Gu Qingyan wouldn't dare disobey him in this situation.

Take advantage of his illness to kill him.

A few minutes later, Gu Qingyan's face turned red from drinking, and she somehow left her seat. When she sat down again, Ning Mochen was already next to Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan blinked, thinking that this move was truly amazing!

The dinner party continued, but everyone seemed oblivious to the change in seating arrangements.

Gu Qingyan was naturally unconvinced and wanted to take back her position, but she was entangled with Chen Si and couldn't get away.

From this moment on, Chu Yuan's bowl gradually filled with more food, all of which Ning Mochen had put on her plate, and all of which were her favorite foods.

He did it so casually, as if he were just helping out a female colleague.

The more some people get to know Chu Yuan these days, the more they admire her, both for her personality and her appearance. Therefore, they shyly want to go up and offer her a toast.

Just then, Ning Mochen suddenly raised his voice, "Director He, to avoid unnecessary trouble, all the ladies here today should refrain from drinking. It's safer to travel far in the dark, what do you say?"

The latter, already quite drunk, nodded vigorously upon hearing this, "Yes, yes, yes, all single ladies who have been drinking must be escorted home by a man. I don't want anyone to leave the set before we've even finished filming halfway through!"

Some actors don't cherish their reputation, while others are genuinely unlucky, but whatever the reason, if it gets out, it will be a devastating blow to the entire show, so we have to be careful.

Therefore, after the dinner party ended and the director arranged who would drive whom, he politely asked Ning Mochen, "President Ning, we don't have enough cars. Could you give me and our second female lead a ride?"

Ning Mochen naturally smiled and agreed...

Before leaving, Xu Yan made a face at Chu Yuan in a suggestive way, "Yuan Yuan, you wait, I'll deal with you later!"

Forced confessions must be obtained through torture!

You previously said you weren't familiar with President Ning, but now you seem like you aren't?

Looking at Ning Mochen's back, Xu Yan was 98% certain that the man who was being affectionate with Chu Yuan at the entrance of the temporary film crew in Beicheng last time was definitely Ning Mochen.

However, she has always maintained a distance, so she certainly won't press the issue for details right now.

What a joke! There are so many people here, all of them public figures. She certainly has that much awareness.

Throughout the journey, Chu Yuan sat in the back, huddled in a corner like a quail.

He even pretended to be asleep.

But every time he looked up, he would unexpectedly see Ning Mochen's silent gaze in the rearview mirror.

Halfway there, Director He called for the car to stop, and said with a smile, "President Ning, I'm sorry, I have some other things to attend to, so I'll trouble you to take Miss Chu a little further."
