The next day, Lu Shen once again squeezed time out of his work to be with Jian Ruoxi on set. Whenever Jian Ruoxi was resting, Lu Shen would rush to her side and ask her how she was doing.
He draped a coat over Jian Ruoxi and led her to the rest area.
"You must be tired. Sit down and rest for a while." Lu Shen handed her the coffee he had just brewed. "It's freshly heated. Don't drink too much; it's not good for the baby."
After finishing her coffee, Jian Ruoxi picked up the script next to her and continued preparing for the next scene.
Lu Shen stood quietly beside her, his eyes fixed solely on her earnestly memorizing her lines, oblivious to everything else.
The entire crew had become accustomed to the eldest son of the Lu family frequently visiting the film set.
"Judging from how much Young Master Lu cares for Jian Ruoxi, I think she will definitely be the young mistress of the Lu family."
Occasionally, people on set would discuss the scandal that had been making headlines recently.
"But didn't we hear that the young master of the Lu family got engaged to a rich girl, and that Jian Ruoxi was the third party?"
The entanglement between a popular actress and a wealthy young master, with rumors that Miss Li is also Mr. Chen's childhood sweetheart, is a gossip they've been researching extensively.
"It's been a long time since we've seen any news about that Ms. Li. Maybe she's the one who broke up someone else's marriage."
"Knowing that there was no hope of marrying into the Lu family, she found a place to hide."
The female staff members got more and more engrossed in their conversation, completely unaware of the director standing behind them.
"Since you're having such a lively conversation, do you need me to tell you some exclusive inside information about the Lu family?"
The voice sounded familiar to everyone, and they awkwardly turned their heads, only to realize that the person who had spoken was Lu Jin, the director they feared the most.
At this moment, Lu Jin was looking at them with a half-smile.
The staff waved their hands repeatedly, "Director Lu, no, it's not necessary."
Lu Jin immediately switched to his usual serious expression and scolded everyone, "It seems I assigned you too easy work. After you've rested, get back to work!"
"Yes, yes, Director Lu, please don't be angry, we'll go right away."
After chasing away the onlookers, Lu Jin looked at the heartwarming scene and, as if remembering something, his expression suddenly fell.
"Tianlei, where did you run off to?"
Seeing her older brother and sister-in-law living such a peaceful life now, she couldn't help but recall the scene when she used to pester Li Tianlei on the film set.
It wasn't this quiet when she and Li Tianlei were on set before.
"Tianlei, I've come to see you again! How are you? Are you happy?" She handed him the lunchbox she had prepared herself. At that time, Li Tianlei was still a bit arrogant and did not accept her feelings.
"Put these away, I need to control my food intake lately. Also, how did you sneak in?" Li Tianlei was very curious. The director of the film crew was a man of his word and would never let anyone else in.
This little girl seems to have received special treatment; she gets in every time.
"Want to know? You'll know once you've eaten my food."
In order to successfully enter the film set, she had to reveal her identity as the eldest daughter of the Lu family, a fact known only to the director.
Back then, she had to beg Li Tianlei for a long time before he would eat the lunchbox she had prepared.
Even in the very beginning when they were bickering, she found it very sweet.
"Director, the next scene is ready," the assistant reminded Lu Jin.
Lu Jin gathered his thoughts, concealed his longing, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed back into the capable director.
"Notify the artists in the next scene that filming will begin in ten minutes!"
After receiving the notification, Jian Ruoxi thanked her assistant and got up to head to the film set.
As she was leaving, Lu Shen grabbed her hand and said, "After filming tonight, I'll take you out to dinner."
“Okay,” Jian Ruoxi replied gently.
As Lu Shen walked out of the film set, Jian Ruoxi stared blankly at his departing figure, somewhat dazed.
During this time, every day was unbelievably wonderful. Lu Shen treated her exceptionally well, making her feel somewhat unreal.
Sometimes she couldn't help but wonder if everything that had happened recently was just a dream.
They did not divorce, and there was never any Li Anran involved.
Although Lu Shen promised her that he would properly resolve Li Anran's matter, would reality really be as they wished?
"My big star, we've been waiting for you!" Lu Jin carefully pushed Jian Ruoxi into the film set to shoot the next scene.
There weren't many scenes scheduled for today, so Lu Jin told everyone to wrap up early.
"Sister-in-law, let me take you home." Jian Ruoxi is pregnant now, and she doesn't feel comfortable letting her sister-in-law go home alone.
Although the bald man didn't do anything to her sister-in-law last time, she could tell that he seemed to harbor some ill will towards the Lu family.
It's hard to guarantee that person won't vent their anger towards the Lu family on their sister-in-law.
"No need, your older brother said he'll pick me up later to go out for dinner together."
Lu Jin shrugged. "Alright, I was being nosy. I'll be going now."
Their conversation was overheard by Su Ziyu, who was about to leave.
Su Ziyu's agent was telling him about the upcoming schedule, "There's an interview at 8 pm tonight, so we need to go back early. There's also tomorrow."
Before his assistant could finish speaking, Su Ziyu raised his hand to interrupt his manager, "Let's postpone the interview. We can schedule it during the break between filming tomorrow."
The agent was a little puzzled, as Su Ziyu rarely postponed work. "Is there something you need to take care of? Do you need my help?"
Su Ziyu's eyes were fixed on Jian Ruoxi, who was standing at the door. "It's an urgent matter, but I can handle it myself. You can go back now."
"It's up to you to renegotiate the time with the reporters."
"No problem, if I couldn't handle this, how could I become your agent, Su, the great star?"
After the agent left, only Su Ziyu and Jian Ruoxi remained on the huge film set.
But Jian Ruoxi kept her eyes fixed ahead, waiting for the familiar car to pick her up, unaware of the gaze that had been watching her from behind.
Even though Su Ziyu knew that the person Jian Ruoxi was waiting for wasn't him, he still wanted to use this method to spend a little more time with her.
"Why aren't they here yet? Could something have happened?" Jian Ruoxi raised her wrist again to check the hands of her watch.
It's already 10 o'clock, and there's still no sign of Lu Shen.
Jian Ruoxi anxiously dialed his number, but all she heard was a monotone, robotic female voice.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
She had been waiting here for almost four hours, and her legs got a little sore from standing, so she had to sit on the door frame and continue waiting.
This feeling brought back her suddenly dead memories, like those three years when she cooked dinner and waited at home until midnight, but Lu Shen, whom she longed for, never came.
So, is it time to wake up from the dream?
