Hua Baixian stared blankly at Gu Liyan, somewhat unable to believe whether what he said was true or false. Looking into his dark eyes, she felt that none of this was real!
Flashes of light kept going off behind them. Gu Liyan frowned, and Hua Baixian also snapped out of her daze and instinctively covered her eyes.
Gu Liyan turned around and pointed at the crowd, saying, "Taking photos is not allowed on set, so put them away quickly."
Seeing that Gu Liyan was about to lose his temper, the crowd clapped even more enthusiastically, knowing that the opportunity for Gu Liyan to lose his temper was extremely rare!
Gu Liyan stepped forward to block Hua Baixian from being photographed, and pointed at the security guards beside him, saying, "Security! Get them all out of here!"
As soon as Gu Liyan finished speaking, the on-site management staff rushed over and advised, "Mo Li, I'm so sorry, these people are all reporters from our film set's publicity team, we can't kick them out!"
"A publicity reporter?" Gu Liyan frowned as she sized up Liu Shaowen, the thin, mustachioed manager. "Manager Liu, don't you know who I, Mo Li, am? Do I need publicity for my movies?"
"Well, of course I know how popular you are, Mo Li, but promotion is part of the process! Besides, everyone knows you're filming a new movie, and we won't be happy if we don't release any stills!" Liu Shaowen said awkwardly.
"Fine, go tell them that if they spread any photos other than the stills from the drama, I'll make them regret becoming entertainment reporters!" Gu Liyan said coldly, then pulled Hua Baixian's hand and walked inside.
The paparazzi behind her hurriedly caught up, "Mo Li, wait a minute! Did what you just said imply that you have a romantic relationship with your private doctor? And that you don't want photos of you two together to be released?"
"Could you please reveal the name of this private doctor?"
"Mo Li, don't go! Please explain your relationship!"
Gu Liyan quickened his pace, causing Hua Baixian to stumble behind him. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw reporters swarming towards them, but they were all stopped by security guards. Liu Shaowen was negotiating with them!
Hua Baixian looked at Gu Liyan with concern and asked weakly, "Little Li, will I cause you trouble?"
Gu Liyan stopped and turned around, a hint of tenderness in his eyes, but his tone was unreadable: "Just take care of my health, you don't need to worry about anything else!"
Hua Baixian nodded and said no more.
As Hua Baixian walked into the suburban forest, she found a large crowd gathered there. The most eye-catching person was a beautiful woman wearing a red cheongsam. She looked to be under thirty years old, but the style of her cheongsam seemed somewhat familiar.
Beside her was a handsome young man, who appeared to be in his early twenties, acting alongside her.
Behind them was a girl who looked pure and lovely, about twenty years old. She was blinking and looking around. When she saw Gu Liyan, her eyes lit up and she ran happily towards him.
However, when she saw Hua Baixian next to Gu Liyan, her face immediately turned displeased.
"Brother Mo, who is this woman?" Lin Pingyu looked at Hua Baixian with disdain. The clothes she was wearing seemed to be outdated fashion items from last month.
Gu Liyan casually said, "My private doctor."
"A private doctor?" The beautiful woman's eyes lit up, and she looked at Gu Liyan with a worried expression. "Mo Li, are you sick?"
Upon hearing that Gu Liyan was ill, everyone gathered around, asking with concern:
"Is Mo Li sick? Is it serious? Should she rest for a few days?"
"The schedule isn't very tight, so it's better to rest and recuperate."
Hua Baixian was pushed to the back by the crowd. Seeing Gu Liyan being surrounded by everyone like a star, she felt a pang of jealousy and silently retreated to the back, watching his retreating figure.
Gu Liyan smiled and said, "It's alright, luckily there's a private doctor with her, she..."
Gu Liyan turned his head but didn't see Hua Baixian. When he looked up, he found that she had been squeezed out at some point. He frowned and waved to her. Hua Baixian hurriedly ran over when Gu Liyan called her.
"This is my personal doctor, Hua Baixian." Gu Liyan introduced Hua Baixian with a smile, "This is Miss Lin Pingyu from the Lin family, this is Sister Zhang Tianqi, and this is Jin Xiaochen..."
Gu Liyan enthusiastically introduced everyone, including director Lin and investor Jin.
Hua Baixian nodded, secretly memorizing their names and characteristics, and then took the initiative to shake hands with them.
Gu Liyan was fine shaking hands with women at first, but just as he was about to shake hands with Jin Xiaochen, his face darkened and he pulled Hua Baixian to his side, saying, "Alright, it's getting late, let's get ready to start filming."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone scattered to begin preparations.
Gu Muqing led her makeup team forward, glanced at Hua Baixian intentionally or unintentionally, and then said to Gu Liyan, "Brother, shall I touch up your makeup again?"
Gu Liyan directly refused, "No need, it's better to be natural. If the makeup is too heavy, it will cause more trouble! You and she wait for me over there. After filming, call Mo Chen to go out for dinner together."
The "she" Gu Liyan was referring to could only be Hua Baixian. Gu Muqing's expression darkened; she glared at Hua Baixian but said nothing more.
Gu Liyan changed into her costume and picked up the script to read.
At this moment, Director Lin was called aside by Lin Pingyu, who said in a coquettish tone, "Dad, Mo Li brought another woman here. You need to find a way to get rid of her quickly!"
“Daughter, Mo Li is so popular now, and he has a powerful background. I can’t very well embarrass him by showing my face! Besides, that female doctor has neither elegance nor looks, and she’s not even a fraction as good as you. Mo Li wouldn’t be interested in her! Just bear with it for now,” Lin said earnestly.
