"hehe".

He Shifang's expression was mocking as he coldly said, "Lord He, please leave once you've finished dealing with this matter. I prefer peace and quiet. Take Xiaomei with you as well; I don't need anyone to serve me."

"How do you know..." Lord He wanted to ask how he knew I had come here for business, but then he remembered the Imperial Preceptor's extraordinary abilities and his ability to summon wind and rain, so he swallowed his words and pondered, "Did Xiao Mei disturb the Imperial Preceptor? Then I'll find another quiet maid from the manor and send her over?"

He Shifang remained silent, closed his eyes, and his slightly furrowed brows revealed his extremely troubled state of mind.

He had been staying at the He residence for several years, and apart from the first two years when His Majesty would occasionally inquire about him, His Majesty had not thought of him for the past three years. In the hearts of the people, the Imperial Preceptor had already perished in that man-made "heavenly fire."

He subtly inquired about the reason for Lord He's visit. If it was truly a summons from His Majesty, there would certainly be more than just Lord He present. However, with a certain hope in his heart, he still asked. But the final result was still disappointing.

He was tired of it all. Unless His Majesty summoned him, he didn't care what Lord He's purpose was in coming here.

Lord He also noticed the weariness between He Shifang's brows, stepped forward, and pushed the wheelchair into the house.

After settling He Shifang in, they quietly withdrew.

The Imperial Guards found no one. Lord He himself went into He Shifang's room and glanced around, but found no trace. He gave a signal, and everyone left.

"OK," this take was quite long, but perhaps because Zhang Shu had lost his temper in the previous take, everyone performed relatively steadily this time, even though they were nervous. Zhang Shu called "cut" with a satisfied expression.

During breaks, Xia Mian would carry the styrofoam box containing ice cream and hand out ice cream to everyone.

Bi Xie saw her running around with a large styrofoam box in her thin arms, put down the script, and went over to help her hand out ice cream.

Manni had finished filming her scenes but showed no sign of leaving. She glanced at the ice cream Xia Mian handed her and said with an unfriendly expression, "You're giving me this kind of low-class, filthy stuff to eat?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Xia Mian apologized almost subconsciously, her head bowed very low.

"Xia Mian, she doesn't deserve to eat what you give her. Let's go," Bi Xie glanced at Man Ni, took Xia Mian's arm and was about to leave, but Man Ni stopped him with a gloomy expression, "An Xie, you wait, I won't let you get away with this!"

This wasn't the first time Manni had said such harsh words. Bi Xie blinked, raised an eyebrow, and smiled, "I've been waiting for a long time, but you just can't kill me. Aren't you angry?"

“You…” Manni was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She pointed her finger at Bi Xie as if she wanted to poke a hole in her.

Bi Xie smiled and pulled Xia Mian, who looked uneasy, away.

After handing out ice cream to everyone, when it was Ji Jing's turn, he said, "Hey, wait a minute..."

Bi Xie turned around and glanced at him in surprise. After confirming that he was calling her, she stopped and politely asked, "Is there something you need?"

Ji Jing scratched his head, seemingly a little embarrassed, but seeing Bi Xie turn to leave, he became nervous again and hurriedly said, "I...I...I want to ask if you are really Xiao Yingdi's girlfriend? I...I've actually been paying attention to you for a long time. I...I'm called Ji Jing, and I played Yuwen Qianyu in the drama. Do you remember me?"

Bi Xie blinked, completely bewildered. "You... are you paying attention to me?"

Don't tell her that Ji Jing's inquiry into her love life is because he's interested in her. If he doesn't mention that he plays "Yuwen Qianyu" in the drama, she really won't recognize the character.

"Mmm," the boy nodded. His temperament was somewhat similar to Meng Huaichuan's, but he was more shy. Outside the drama, you couldn't tell that he was the arrogant and philandering "Yuwen Qianyu" in the play.

"Can I have your contact information? WeChat is fine too." The boy smiled, his face slightly red, and stared at Bi Xie with hopeful eyes.

"I don't have WeChat," Bi Xie said, turning to leave.

Xia Mian was stunned and looked at Bi Xie in confusion. No WeChat... then who is the person in her WeChat contact list?

"Anxie," Ji Jing stood up, cupping his hands around his mouth, "I hope you can remember me."

Ji Jing's voice was quite loud, as if he was deliberately speaking to the crew.

Bi Xie was completely numb from being stared at like a monkey, especially when those people were looking at her with ambiguous smiles.

Several actors who initially didn't want ice cream heard Ji Jing say, "I hope you remember me," and their gossip fire ignited. They beckoned Xia Mian over, casually grabbed an ice cream, and winked mischievously, saying, "An Xie, you're really lucky with your love life. Aren't you and Actor Xiao a couple? How come Ji Jing has suddenly appeared? Aren't you afraid Actor Xiao will get jealous?"

"I heard that Ji Jing is also from a wealthy family. His family is in the catering business, with chain stores all over the country. Entering the entertainment industry is just a pastime for him. However, Ji Jing's appearance is really cute, completely different from the cold and aloof movie star Xiao..."

"Stop praising him! How can Ji Jing compare to our Actor Xiao? I've heard that Ji Jing has had quite a few ex-girlfriends, but Actor Xiao has never had any scandals. I still prefer the pure and innocent Actor Xiao!"

"So what if he has many ex-girlfriends? Having ex-girlfriends shows that Ji Jing is popular. Besides, those entertainment reports aren't necessarily true. Didn't the studio already deny it? They're just female friends, friends! There weren't any photos of them spending the night together!"

Bi Xie's lips twitched, and she let them discuss it on their own, paying no attention to what Ji Jing said.

Her purpose in coming to this world was for Xiao Jingyi. As for Ji Jing, it's undeniable that he looks very cute and youthful, but... she still prefers older men.

"Boss, do you want to clarify the rumors about you and Miss An? There are so many rumors online now..." Su Yan handed a bottle of water to Xiao Jingyi, but found that the man was staring intently at one spot. He followed the gaze and immediately choked on the rest of his words.

Would you like some ice cream, boss?

Xiao Jingyi snorted coldly, took a sip of water, and slowly said, "Fickle and unfaithful!"

These four words have a kind of gritted-teeth feel to them no matter how you look at them.

Su Yan was taken aback, unsure of what to say, when Xiao Jing asked, "Su Yan, do you know what the best way to destroy a person is?"

"It's like lifting someone up to the clouds and then ruthlessly pushing them into hell! Now I've thought of an even more fun way to play. How long do you think it would take to make her fall in love with me? If she does fall in love with me, do you think 'that person' will have a mental breakdown and completely disappear from my body?"

"...Boss..." After hesitating for a moment, Su Yan couldn't help but say, "You threatened and intimidated Miss An before, and did so many things to hurt her. I don't think Miss An...will fall in love with you so easily."

Xiao Jingyi's confident face darkened, and he blurted out, "If you don't love me, would you love that little puppy?"

Su Yan couldn't help but chuckle, "Boss, you're not referring to Ji Jing as a 'little puppy,' are you? Where did you learn the term 'little puppy'?"
