With drinks flowing freely, the outdoor BBQ was naturally very enjoyable. That evening, Chen Fang played the role of a dragon rider.
Zeng Li devised a new position, but it involved clenching your teeth, as the hotel's soundproofing was terrible. Afraid of being overheard, you almost couldn't resist several times.
Zeng Li gave Shen Fang several hickeys on his neck. "You bullied me, I'll make you lose face!" At dawn, Shen Fang woke up and, while washing up, looked at the dark purple marks on his neck, speechless.
Zeng Li chuckled, "Hmph, serves you right for bullying me."
Shen Fang looked at Zeng Li helplessly: "You've made me so embarrassed that I can't face anyone anymore. Don't do it again next time, it's so awkward for others to see."
Zeng Li was overjoyed: "Who told you to cover my mouth? Hmph."
The two lingered for a while longer. Zeng Li, having changed her clothes, looked at Chen Fang and said, "I'll go out first. You can go out after everyone leaves at 9 o'clock."
Shen Fang nodded.
After saying that, Zeng Li opened the door like a thief and then quickly closed it again.
"Good morning, Zeng Li." Li Lianhua greeted Zeng Li with a smile.
Zeng Li, feeling guilty, looked at Li Lianhua with a flustered expression and said, "Good morning, Lianhua."
"Shall we go have breakfast together?"
"Okay...okay."
The two, carrying breakfast, sat facing each other at the table. Li Lianhua smiled and whispered, "President Shen was in your room last night, wasn't he?"
Upon hearing this, Zeng Li was at a loss for words. Shen Fang told Gu Tai that Li Lianhua had guessed the relationship between the two.
However, Zeng Li still forced herself to say, "What nonsense are you talking about? I..."
"Stop pretending. You two are always hanging out on set, exchanging glances. You were even riding horses together yesterday. Tsk tsk..."
"He...he's my boss, I...we have no relationship...it's not what you think, don't talk nonsense."
Li Lianhua rolled her eyes: "Zeng Li, we're all adults, it's pointless for you to keep pretending. President Shen himself has already admitted it. Denying it won't help. I'm not blind, don't worry, I won't say anything."
Zeng Li glanced at Li Lianhua, and Li Lianhua met Zeng Li's gaze. Zeng Li felt as if this woman had seen right through her.
"Don't pass it on to anyone else... I'm with him..."
Li Lianhua smiled: "Don't worry, I definitely won't talk nonsense. Besides, are you afraid of people finding out? President Shen said you don't want to go public. What are you thinking? Goodness, I really don't understand your thought process. Such a big golden dragon, and you still won't go public."
Zeng Li lowered her head: "He already has several women around him. It's not that I'm afraid of anything else, but I have a very good relationship with Qianqian. I'm afraid she will hate me if she finds out."
Li Lianhua was speechless: "Please, the sooner you make this public, the better. Aren't you afraid he'll break up with you? Wouldn't your youth be wasted? A formal title is very important to us. This is a great opportunity for you to make a name for yourself."
Zeng Li glanced at Li Lianhua: "I have no such plans, nor do I want to. As long as he loves me, I will not leave him. I don't want any kind of leap over the dragon gate. He is already very, very good to me. I have no other demands."
Li Lianhua looked completely bewildered. "Such a great opportunity, and you're not seizing it? What unrealistic things are you thinking about?"
"Is he just making empty promises to you? Men's words are deceitful. You'll know when you're old and faded."
Zeng Li smiled and said, "No, I didn't ask him for anything. He's been very good to me. I never asked him for the villa, resources, money, or car. He gave them all to me willingly, and even when I didn't want them, he insisted that I take them. He's not that kind of person. If he really waits until I'm old and lose my looks and then doesn't want me anymore, I won't hate him. At least we loved each other, and I believe he's not that kind of person. I'm very sure of it."
Li Lianhua was stunned. What Zeng Li had mentioned was exactly what she wanted: a car, a big villa, resources, and money.
"He's really that generous?"
Why is he so different from the men I've met? Shouldn't the richer they are, the stingier they become?
"Yes, he's very generous to me, afraid I won't want him. He's planned everything for me, and he's even going to meet my mom. So don't worry, he's not the kind of person you're thinking of."
Now it was Li Lianhua's turn to remain silent.
"You're willing to just follow him like this?"
Zeng Li smiled and said, "Isn't this great? I love him, and he loves me. That's enough."
Li Lianhua stopped speaking.
......
Filming for "A World Without Thieves" has resumed.
Zeng Li got out of the car and walked along the deserted dirt road. There was no one around. Just when she was about to despair, she met Sha Gen (Huang Bo) on the road. Huang Bo gave Zeng Li a ride to the village.
When they parted, Huang Bo gave Zeng Li a necklace from the temple that could ward off evil spirits, telling her that it could be used to ward off evil when her mind was in turmoil.
Zeng Li got off her bicycle, slipped Huang Bo a bill, and said goodbye.
Huang Bo pushed away the money Zeng Li offered, saying, "I didn't give it to you for the money."
The scene shifts, and Uncle Shagen helps Shagen (Huang Bo) withdraw 60,000 yuan in cash. He tells Huang Bo that the handling fee for sending the money is 600 yuan, which Huang Bo finds very expensive. 600 yuan could buy a donkey back in his hometown.
“Saving 600 yuan is like losing 60,000 yuan. You should still send it back to him. There are plenty of thieves out there. Be careful he doesn’t steal it from you,” said an elder from the same village.
Huang Bo refused to believe it: "There can't be that many thieves."
"You still don't believe it? Let the accountant send it back to you."
Huang Bo stood up, his face stubborn: "60,000 yuan isn't even as heavy as a brick, can't I take it back?"
