Chapter 2485: Won’t Let Him Suffer

An Rui had to film in the countryside for two days.

After Zhou Li sent her over, she urged him to return to the city to work.

When the director saw that An Rui had returned, he frowned and asked, “Why did you run out last night?”

An Rui said, “I’m scared staying in the room.”

The director waved his hand. “Let me know if you need anything in the future. Otherwise, who would dare to invite you as a guest?”

An Rui pursed her lips and said nothing.

“Alright, since you’re back, shall we continue the recording?”

After lunch, An Rui was arranged to work in the corn field.

An Rui plucked a few baskets of corn and was about to carry them back to the wooden house when the assistant director came over.

He asked the photographer to go back first.

An Rui realized that something was wrong and wanted to leave with the photographer, but the assistant director stopped her.

He took out his phone and played a video.

The scene of her running out of the door last night and jumping into Zhou Li’s arms.

“Xiaorui, to be honest, I thought very highly of you when you participated in the female team competition.” The assistant director stared fixedly at An Rui, as if he wanted to see through her. “I thought that you were a girl who was down-to-earth and suffered, but last night, you were too disappointing.”

“You didn’t come back for a night with a man. What did you do? I think anyone who watched this video will know!”

An Rui looked at the assistant director’s playful gaze and frowned. “I’m going on a date with my boyfriend. What’s there to hide?”

“Boyfriend?” The assistant director seemed to have heard a joke. “Xiaorui, you just debuted as a top celebrity.  Do you think it’s good for your career to expose that you have a boyfriend and have not returned for a night during the recording period?”

Any smart person would know that during the golden period of her career, exposing her relationship was not good for her idol.

The assistant director took advantage of this and used the video to threaten An Rui.

An Rui looked at the assistant director. “What do you want?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“After the recording, accompany me for a night.” The assistant director looked at An Rui’s fair and exquisite face, his eyes filled with desire. “I’ll think of you first when I have good resources in the future.”

An Rui smirked and took a step closer to the assistant director.

A faint fragrance filled his nose and the assistant director’s eyes darkened. He was about to hug An Rui’s waist when he felt a pain in his leg.

An Rui stepped on the assistant director ruthlessly.

While his face was twisted in pain, An Rui stepped hard on his other foot.

“You want to threaten me with a video?” An Rui smirked coldly. “Why don’t you take a look at yourself in the mirror? You can’t even compare to a finger of my boyfriend. You’re dreaming!”

With that said, An Rui left without looking back.

The assistant director looked at An Rui’s back and gritted his teeth, his eyes wanting to swallow her up.

She would see the consequence of offending him!

….

After An Rui finished recording the program, she returned to the capital the next morning.

Xiaohe came to pick her up. An Rui was a little tired and leaned against the chair to rest.

After some time, An Rui heard Xiaohe’s voice. “Sister Ruirui is still resting… I know about her relationship, but I don’t know what happened last night. I’ll ask Sister Ruirui when she wakes up…”

An Rui slowly opened her eyes and looked at Xiaohe, who had been scolded by the manager on the other end of the call.

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing that An Rui had woken up, Xiao He asked An Rui to look at Weibo.

An Rui took out her phone from her bag.

Yesterday, the assistant director asked An Rui to accompany him for a night. After she refused, An Rui knew that he would cause trouble.

He played the video of her conversation with the director and even showed her throwing herself into Zhou Li’s arms at night.

It was indeed An Rui’s fault through the video call.

When she went to record the program, she did not return home at night and her attitude when talking to the director the next day was not very friendly.

The moment the video was released, the other party, who had seen An Rui’s status being threatened recently, started to buy the trending topic and let the fake reviewers step on An Rui ruthlessly.

But An Rui was not a nobody anymore. After she became popular, her fans formed a fan club.

The fake reviewers and fans were equally matched.

An Rui rubbed her temples and put down her phone.

Xiaohe looked at An Rui through the rearview mirror. “Sister Ruirui, if you don’t explain this properly, it will affect your reputation in the industry.”

Although An Rui’s fans believed and supported her, this happened during the recording of the show.

An Rui closed her eyes. “I know my boundaries.”

….

There was another touching piece of news that was trending with An Rui.

Yesterday, the police in the south of the city announced a piece of news.

An old lady in her nineties crossed the road on crutches and suddenly fainted in the middle of the road. At that time, cars were coming and going, and every car that passed by avoided the old lady, not daring to approach her or check her body.

Until a Mercedes-Benz SUV passed by other cars and stopped at the intersection, blocking other cars.

A tall figure got out of the car.

The man ran towards the old lady and gave her first aid. He picked her up and put her in his car.

A series of actions were swift and agile without any hesitation.

This video that was less than a minute long caused a huge reaction and heated discussion online the moment it was posted.

Many netizens said that they were touched by the man who saved them.

….

After An Rui saw her trending topic, she also saw the trending topic about saving people.

She clicked on the video.

Seeing Zhou Li’s car appear in the video, her eyes widened slightly in disbelief.

After watching the entire video, tears filled An Rui’s eyes.

Like most netizens, she was extremely touched and proud.

That was her man. He had a noble character and kind personality!

“Xiaohe, can you drive to the Royal Hospital?”

Hearing An Rui’s words, Xiaohe furrowed her eyebrows tightly. “Sister Ruirui, both you and Doctor Zhou are at the center of attention now. I think it’s better to avoid suspicion.”

“What are you avoiding?”

“When you’re popular, you still have to hide your relationship.”

An Rui’s expression turned serious. “Xiaohe, I won’t let him suffer.”

Just as she had said when she was dating him, she would not have a secret relationship with him. If the fans who liked her did not like her because of their relationship, they were not true fans and would leave.

Although she was in the entertainment industry, she still hoped to live a normal life.

An Rui shrugged and her eyes softened at the thought of Zhou Li. “At most, I’ll become invisible again.”

Xiaohe sighed slightly.

The car stopped in the basement of the Royal Hospital. An Rui put on a hat and mask and took the elevator to the second floor.

After Zhou Li finished checking the ward, he came over from the inpatient department.

Several doctors and nurses surrounded him.

“Dr Zhou, you’re famous! You’re on the trending list!”

Zhou Li was not interested in being on the trending list at all. When he glanced at his colleague’s phone, he was surprised to see that An Rui was also on the trending list.
