After finally finding some time, Qiao Shu finally accompanied Pei Shi'an to the Pei family's old house and had dinner with old lady Pei.
Old Madam Pei looked at her lovingly and took her hand as they sat down together. "What's the matter? Did Shi An fail to take good care of you? Why are you losing weight again? It's not good to lose weight any more. You should eat more."
Pei Shian said helplessly, "Grandma, how could I not take good care of Qiao Qiao? I'm just short of resigning as the CEO and staying by Qiao Qiao's side as her assistant."
Mrs. Pei frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "It's not impossible."
Qiao Shu quickly waved her hands and said, "Grandma, that's too much. I've been busy lately, so it's inevitable that I've lost a little weight. I can always eat it back."
"Aunt Liu made a lot of delicious food for you, please eat more later."
Mrs. Pei patted her hands and said, "Also, I checked out all your previous variety shows. I also had someone book out the theater for your latest movie and invited the whole family and other relatives to watch it. I also called in a lot of people to show up to support you. Everyone says you have great acting skills and are beautiful. People who don't know you think you're still a fan at such an old age. But people who know you know that you are the future mistress of our Pei family. But I just don't know when I can make such a wonderful child public."
Old Mrs. Pei sighed with regret, and her expectant eyes drifted over. Qiao Shu could only pretend not to see it and secretly glared at Pei Shi'an.
This guy, now he asks Old Lady Pei to force him to get married?
Can this relationship continue?
"Grandma, let's eat first."
Qiao Shu smiled sweetly, picked up some food for her, and told her some interesting stories about the crew. As Mrs. Pei was eating, the topic was suddenly diverted. She smiled and chatted with her, looking very happy.
After it got dark, Qiao Shu and Pei Shi'an went home.
The two of them snuggled up on the sofa and watched a movie together, a rare moment of leisure.
"Qiao Qiao, Lu Nanye is getting engaged next month. Come with me to the engagement party."
Pei Shi'an put his arm around her shoulders and suddenly spoke.
Qiao Shu swallowed the grapes in her mouth and asked in surprise, "Looking at Lu Nanye's playboy personality, I thought he would wander among the flowers all his life and refuse to stop. Why is he suddenly getting engaged?"
"It's just a marriage between families. They've been engaged since childhood, but now that they're old enough, it's time to fulfill the contract."
Pei Shi'an said lightly, showing indifference to the affairs between celebrity families.
"Engaged since childhood? How could his fiancée tolerate his tone?"
Qiao Shu pursed her lips and said, "This kind of marriage is really quite tragic."
Combining with each other means that everyone lives their own life.
"Don't worry, Qiao Qiao, we are different from them. Lu Nanye carries the heavy burden of the Lu family, and I, even if I am alone, can carry the burden well and will not give anyone the opportunity to manipulate my marriage."
Pei Shi'an pressed his lips against her forehead, his low voice filled with tenderness and affection.
Qiao Shu felt relieved, but couldn't help but pour cold water on him, "Pei Shi'an, it's almost been a year, so the two-year agreement isn't far away!"
Pei Shian narrowed his eyes, stepped back slightly, and said unhappily, "Qiao Qiao, what do you mean by that? Do you want to abandon me after having an affair with me?"
"Eh? Don't say such harsh words. We are in a contractual relationship, so we should have the minimum moral standards of our job."
"...Qiao Shu, you're doing great! Don't worry, even if it expires, I can renew it indefinitely!"
"Boss Pei is really rich, but I already have money!"
“Who would complain about having too little money?”
"Well... not really, but with my wealth, you might not be able to support me soon."
Even the president of Shengxing Technology Online Game Company may not be able to afford it. Although the game warehouse has become very popular recently, Pei Shi'an's net worth has increased several times, making him the youngest and most handsome bachelor nowadays.
"Of course I can. I can raise it for a lifetime."
Pei Shian said firmly, his eyes gradually darkening as he stared at her, "So, Qiao Qiao, please don't say such things to anger me."
He has already started thinking about how to inherit the family fortune to support his young wife.
"Okay, okay."
Qiao Shu said it perfunctorily, thinking, there is still more than a year left, let's talk about it then.
After just one day of rest, Qiao Shu rushed to attend two announcements before joining the crew to film the final scenes of the fantasy drama.
But something weird happened.
When she was on the crew, she always felt that someone was watching her. This vague feeling of being spied on made her very uncomfortable.
Just as she was hanging on the wire, one of the wires coiled in the air broke. Qiao Shu was holding a prop sword in her hand and was about to swing it when she felt her body suddenly falling down.
"Be careful!"
The staff below were all horrified. Qiao Shu frowned, immediately threw away the props, steadied herself, and when the other wire broke, she fell down.
Fortunately, there was a mat underneath for protection, and Qiao Shu used the force to roll over and land steadily.
But the arm was inevitably injured.
"Oh my God, Sister Qiao, are you okay?"
Yuan Yuan's face turned pale and he hurried over to check her injuries.
"It's not a big deal, just a little pain in my arm."
Qiao Shu bit her red lips, a hint of coldness passed through her eyes. She looked around and suddenly saw a man wearing a baseball cap running out of the crowd.
"Qiao Shu, are you okay? Do you want to be taken to the hospital immediately?"
Director Yang's heart was still pounding with fear. He hurried over and asked the staff around him to call an ambulance, while scolding those nearby, "What's going on? Can someone give me an explanation? Aren't all these devices intact? How could they break down so suddenly? This is life-threatening!"
The person in charge of this area was also in tears, "Impossible, I tried it this morning, it shouldn't be possible."
Qiao Shu stopped Director Yang and said, "No need to go to the hospital, I just have some bruises. I can still continue filming. These are the last scenes, don't delay me."
"But…"
"I'll take responsibility for it myself, Director Yang, go on."
Qiao Shu suppressed the dark light in her eyes and spoke calmly.
"Alright then, check the props again and let's continue filming!"
Director Yang had no choice but to agree to her request and seriously asked someone to check the dangerous props carefully.
After the filming of this scene was completed, this fantasy drama was considered to be completely finished. After the wrap-up banquet, Qiao Shu lay down in the car, ready to go home and rest.
