In fact, Ran Jie's thinking was not wrong at all.
Lu Shen had indeed arrived at the recording site and was changing into Xiao Hei's exclusive outfit backstage, while A Jie was helping his young master get dressed.
"Young master, you also need to wear sunglasses and a mask. We can't let people know that you weren't at the engagement ceremony and that you're here instead."
"I will never let Ruoxi get involved in scandal again."
He knew very well that if his identity were exposed, Ruoxi would be the first to be affected.
For the sake of her career in the entertainment industry, he had to suppress his longing.
At this moment, at the engagement ceremony.
Grandma Lu was almost frantic with worry. The start time was fast approaching, and she hadn't seen a single person, Ah Shen.
The servants who were sent out to look for Lu Shen returned with long faces.
"Grandma, we haven't found the young master."
"We didn't see it either."
Seeing the dejected maid, the old lady felt a sharp pain in her chest and pointed at the row of maids standing in front of her, cursing them.
"Why are you telling me you didn't find anyone? Do you expect me, an old man, to go with you to look for them?"
The maid who was supporting the old lady quickly gave them a look, signaling them to leave first.
"You've heard what the old lady said, why aren't you going?"
If they upset the old lady and cause her health problems, they can't afford to take that responsibility.
The maid gently patted the old lady's back and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, madam. The young master must be tied up with something mysterious, which is why he can't come over."
"But today is the young master's big day, he will definitely come, so don't worry."
The old lady couldn't help but pound her feet in frustration. How could she not be worried? She had witnessed her grandson's resistance to Anran recently.
Thinking to myself, now that Ah Shen has softened his stance, I think we can hold the engagement ceremony.
Unexpectedly, at the crucial moment, the person disappeared.
She was genuinely afraid that this young man would suddenly run away from the wedding, which would be a huge loss of face for the Lu family.
"Grandma, hasn't Ah Shen arrived yet?"
Wearing a pristine white haute couture gown, Li Anran strode over, glancing at the maid behind the old lady. The maid understood immediately and stepped back to make room for her.
After today, Li Anran will be the future young mistress of the Lu family, and they, as servants, will definitely have to listen to her.
Grandma Lu held Li Anran's hand tightly, "Don't worry, Grandma has already sent people out to look for him, and we'll definitely find Ashen."
"Ah Shen, does he not want to get engaged to me?" Li Anran deliberately feigned a forlorn expression in order to elicit sympathy from the old lady of the Lu family.
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Lu was not happy.
"Nonsense, you forgot, Ah Shen promised you himself that he would definitely be at the engagement ceremony."
"Anran, you are the most sensible one. Be patient and wait for him."
“If he’s late, Grandma will make him apologize to you.”
Li Anran smiled politely, which was her reply to the old lady.
An apology? Would Lu Shen listen to her?
If the old lady's words had any effect, Lu Shen would never have married Jian Ruoxi.
There were quite a few people paying attention to this engagement, and someone surnamed Lu was also watching the Lu family's engagement live stream.
Seeing that Lu Shen had not appeared for a long time, Lu Jianming frowned and beckoned his underlings to ask what was going on.
What's going on?
Where did Lu Shen go?
As soon as the younger brother saw the screen displaying the live stream, he instantly understood what the boss was asking.
"Our people have also started looking for Lu Shen's whereabouts, but we haven't found any clues yet."
Lu Jianming slammed his hand on the table. "Have everyone go search. Lu Shen and Li Anran must get engaged today."
"Yes." After receiving the order, the underling prepared to go out and search.
Before he could even step out the door, he heard his boss calling him back.
"Boss, is there anything else you need?"
"What's going on with Jian Ruoxi?"
Since Lu Shen wasn't at the engagement ceremony, he guessed that Lu Shen might go to find Jian Ruoxi.
The younger brother was in a dilemma; they really hadn't paid attention to this.
They noticed that their boss seemed to be taking good care of Jian Ruoxi and didn't allow his people to cause her any trouble.
Therefore, they didn't pay attention to Jian Ruoxi.
Noticing his boss's scrutinizing gaze, the underling immediately reacted, "I'll go find it right away and tell the boss immediately."
After everyone had left, Lu Jianming stared blankly at the engagement ceremony on the television screen.
This was the scene his mother had hoped for most, but unfortunately, she never achieved it in her entire life.
"On the day of the engagement, Young Master Lu disappeared. I'm afraid that will be the headline news today." Lu Jianming tapped the back of the chair with his fingers with great interest.
Would you choose a path different from your grandfather's?
I'm actually looking forward to seeing when you're scheduled to appear next.
Backstage, after changing his clothes, Lu Shen followed the other "Little Black" out, passing right by the entrance to the dressing room.
As if sensing something, Jian Ruoxi, who was putting on makeup inside, suddenly looked out the door and saw Lu Shen's back.
"Miss Jian, what's wrong?" The stylist who was doing Jian Ruoxi's hair asked, somewhat puzzled.
"It's nothing, maybe I just saw it wrong." She laughed self-deprecatingly.
It seems that Lu Shen and Li Anran's engagement today has affected her. Looking at the back of that person from earlier, she actually felt that he looked a bit like Lu Shen.
Su Ziyu's look was easier to do than Jian Ruoxi's. Hearing their conversation, he couldn't help but tease her, "I think Ruoxi was just too nervous."
"Ruoxi, don't worry. I've been on this variety show before. All you need to do here is relax."
"The more relaxed you are, the more natural you will look."
Su Ziyu shared his previous experience on variety shows with Jian Ruoxi, which was very helpful to her.
"Ziyu, thank you for telling me all this. I'll be careful during the recording later."
The stylist kept glancing between Su Ziyu and Jian Ruoxi, making Jian Ruoxi feel embarrassed.
"Teacher, you didn't watch my live stream with Ruoxi last time, did you?" Seeing the stylist's CP-obsessed look, Su Ziyu knew what had happened.
When caught peeking at your back bag, the stylist was quite frank, saying, "Although I know you two aren't really a couple, the atmosphere of your conversation just now really made it easy for people to misunderstand."
"Really?" Jian Ruoxi hadn't noticed this at all. She hadn't felt anything at all; she was just talking as if she were chatting with an old friend.
Did what I just said give people the wrong impression?
Before Jian Ruoxi could ask any more questions, Su Ziyu preemptively said, "Shipping a couple is an art. If you can ship mine, it means you have good taste."
The stylist's eyes widened; she seemed to have discovered some secrets unknown to others.
The award-winning actor Su Ziyu is actually in unrequited love.
