Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Huo Xunzhou couldn’t help but chuckle out of anger.

“Didn’t you ask Nan Mu why I didn’t come today?”

He must have gone crazy.

That must be the reason why he rushed over to the set immediately after hearing Nan Mu tell him that Lin Shanchu asked about his absence.

In the end, this heartless woman didn’t even look at him.

The more Huo Xunzhou thought about it, the angrier he got.

He threw his phone on the table before loosening his collar in annoyance. Then, he got up and walked to the window.

His silhouette clearly meant “I’m very angry but I won’t say anything about it” to Lin Shanchu.

Lin Shanchu was not stupid.

Huo Xunzhou’s behavior was so obvious that she naturally understood it. She pondered for a moment before slowly approaching Huo Xunzhou from behind.

“I’m sorry,” she said.

Huo Xunzhou turned around and frowned. His expression clearly said, “What the hell are you talking about?”

Lin Shanchu tried to analyze Huo Xunzhou’s expression.

She had thought that Huo Xunzhou was still angry about her kissing his hand the other day.

However, Huo Xunzhou’s confused expression did not seem like he was here to hear her apology.

Lin Shanchu stared at him for a long time, but she could not guess what he was thinking.

She might as well stop guessing.

“So, why didn’t you come today?” she asked.

“I was busy,” Huo Xunzhou replied coldly.

“Then why are you here now?” Lin Shanchu asked.

“Why do you care?” Huo Xunzhou paused.

“I was just asking…” Lin Shanchu suddenly stopped.

She recalled what Huo Xunzhou had said earlier.

An arrogant and bold guess appeared in her mind.

Could it be that Huo Xunzhou came here just because she had asked Nan Mu why he didn’t come?

Was he that concerned about her?

Seeing that Lin Shanchu suddenly stopped mid-sentence, Huo Xunzhou urged calmly, “Speak up.”

His tone was no different from usual.

It was probably just her imagination.

Huo Xunzhou was the perfect character without any relationship plot.

He was just a career-minded person!

No matter how twisted the plot was, it was impossible for him to have an emotional entanglement with the female lead of a sadist novel like her who lived at the bottom of the food chain.

She kept silent, so Huo Xunzhou waited patiently.

“…I’ll be leaving then.” Lin Shanchu pointed in the direction of the door.

Huo Xunzhou looked at her with a complicated expression for a moment before sighing. “What method are you going to use to get Lu Shiyuan to come forward and help you clear your name?”

It turned out that he had heard what she had said just now.

Lin Shanchu’s eyes widened. ‘Weren’t you playing on your phone just now?”

Huo Xunzhou just looked down at her, as if he had no intention of answering her question.

Not only was Lin Shanchu not angry, but she also felt that it was very exciting to see a beautiful and good-looking man like Mr. Huo the movie star look cold and distant.

Lin Shanchu’s lips curved upward while enunciating each word carefully. “I’m going to fight fire with fire.”

The young girl was obviously very satisfied with her plan. Her face was full of confidence, and her cat-like clear eyes were shining.

After she joined the production crew, Huo Xunzhou felt that she was different every time he saw her.

She started smiling a lot, and her gaze started becoming bright again.

It was like water returning to a dried-up river that started to come back to life bit by bit.

It was resilient, vivid, and extremely dazzling.

Huo Xunzhou’s face revealed a smile that he did not notice.

“You should return.”

“Aren’t you going to listen to my detailed plan?”

At this time, Huo Xunzhou looked particularly easy to talk to, which made Lin Shanchu want to confide in him.

The smile on Huo Xunzhou’s face became more obvious.

“Lu Shiyuan’s appearance was nothing more than an attempt to suppress you and force you to submit. If you do the opposite, he will be in a mess. At that time, the initiative will fall into your hands. He will not be able to control the situation.”

The smile on Lin Shanchu’s face gradually disappeared.

As expected, not everyone could become a movie star that had won three awards.

Huo Xunzhou was able to guess her thoughts in such a short time.

However, Lin Shanchu did not intend to admit defeat just like that.

“So? What do you think I should do next?” Maybe Huo Xunzhou just happened to guess what she was thinking.

“Next, you’ll have Nan Mu release the news that you’re going to hold a press conference to admit that everything in the news article is true. Also, you’ll be making a public apology.”

As soon as Huo Xunzhou finished speaking, Lin Shanchu’s face became completely serious.

Huo Xunzhou knew that he had guessed everything right, but his expression remained calm.

He leaned over slightly so that his line of sight leveled Lin Shanchu’s eyes. His soft voice sounded nonchalant as he asked, “What? Did I say something wrong?”

How could it be wrong?

It was exactly the same.

In the past, she had a weak personality, so Lu Shiyuan often used it to manipulate her.

This time, Lu Shiyuan probably thought that she would be afraid of making a big deal out of it, so she would beg for mercy from him.

Once that happened, Lu Shiyuan would be able to manipulate and control her like before.

He had always enjoyed the feeling of being high and mighty and controlling the fate of others.

Lu Shiyuan was also so conceited that he refused to believe that Lin Shanchu was no longer a pushover that could be manipulated by others.

Therefore, Lin Shanchu wanted to make this matter as big as possible!

On the surface, she was still Lu Shiyuan’s fiancée. If things got out of hand, it would hurt Lu Shiyuan’s reputation.

The Lu Corporation would definitely be affected.

At that time, Lu Shiyuan would only have two options.

One, he could break off his engagement with Lin Shanchu and draw a clear line with her.

Two, he could come out and clarify the matter.

No matter which path Lu Shiyuan chose, it was still a win in Lin Shanchu’s book no matter what.

She hoped that Lu Shiyuan would be sensible and break off the engagement with her.

Huo Xunzhou’s face was very close to hers.

Lin Shanchu’s heart palpitated under his burning gaze, prompting her to quickly take a step back.

She put some distance between them.

“Mr. Huo, you’re smart,” she said seriously. “Why don’t you guess how Lu Shiyuan will deal with this?”

“I’m guessing that you won’t get your wish this time, Shanshan.” Huo Xunzhou slowly stood up, his alluring eyes showing a knowing smile.

He could even tell that she hoped Lu Shiyuan would choose to cancel the marriage.

They were clearly living in the same world constructed by the novel.

Huo Xunzhou was smart, rich, and good-looking. From the start, he was already a movie star.

However, Lin Shanchu only rediscovered her intelligence after going through her awakening. She already started her life in hell mode.

Was this the difference in the world?

Lin Shanchu was speechless.

She was also a little angry.

“You’re not right,” she said coldly.

Lin Shanchu got angry.

Huo Xunzhou only smiled and did not say anything.

“Goodbye!” Lin Shanchu didn’t know what was funny. So what if Huo Xunzhou is the perfect character?

Fine.

He was indeed amazing.

He could also extend Lin Shanchu’s life. Huo Xunzhou’s magnetic voice came from behind. “Take care, Shanshan.”

Lin Shanchu stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

She seriously suspected that Huo Xunzhou was calling her so intimately on purpose to see her embarrass herself.

To think that a cold and distant movie star like him was actually mischievous!

Lin Shanchu quickly left the meeting room without looking back.

The melodious sound of the piano in the restaurant created a nice atmosphere. The location was perfect for couples to date there.

“Brother Shiyuan, try this…”

Tang Qidai put some food on Lu Shiyuan’s plate with a gentle expression on her face. However, when she looked up, she saw Lu Shiyuan fiddling with his phone again. The smile on her face stiffened..
