Chapter 7

On the filming set, Qiao Lian didn’t dare to look around freely, and she obediently followed the young lady. After only taking a few steps, she heard Yang Lingsi’s voice saying, “You came.”

She was standing not far away, with a smile on her face as she spoke, “Although your wound isn’t severe, it will leave a scar if you don’t treat it in time. So, I requested for you to be allowed into the set in order to treat your wound.”

Sure enough, the supposed change of that cold-faced man to a meticulous gentleman had purely been her imagination!

It turned out that she had only been called in since Yang Lingsi had pleaded for her.

“Thank you, Ms Yang!” Qiao Lian sorted her thoughts out quickly and smiled at Yang Lingsi as she thanked her.

“No worries, it’s just what a friend should do. You should quickly go to the break room; there’s a first-aid kit in there.”

Even after Qiao Lian had walked far away, Yang Lingsi remained standing rooted in the same spot. She recalled the moment where Shen Liangchuan had instructed the worker to bring Qiao Lian in to tend to her wound, and her deep thoughts could be seen as they flashed through her eyes.

Best Actor Shen has always been aloof and disinterested. Since when does he have so much concern for just a mere reporter?

——

Qiao Lian was brought into a remote break room. Xiao Zhang had urgent matters at the last minute; thus, she took her leave first. Qiao Lian took out medicine and gauze as she bore the pain and bandaged her wound.

After she finished treating her wound, she stood at the window and watched the filming set out of boredom, only to she coincidentally see Shen Liangchuan.

He was walking in her direction escorted by his manager and a few bodyguards. The scene seemed to replicate the splendid scene of stars surrounding the moon.

As he walked, he occasionally tilted his head to hear what his manager was saying. His lips were pursed, and his profile was also handsome. He was literally glamorous and good-looking from every angle!

Qiao Lian momentarily fell into a trance. She only jolted to her senses moments later and suddenly realized that he was going to the break room when he was less than two meters away from it.

She was instantly worried.

If her entry to the set to treat her wound had been Yang Lingsi’s idea and if he saw her in the break room, would he think that she was following him everywhere?

She rushed into the washroom to avoid him.

Just as she closed the washroom door, the door of the break room was pushed open and followed by sedate footsteps. From the footsteps, she could hear that he was alone.

What did Shen Liangchuan come to the break room for? Could it be to… visit her?

As the idea appeared in her mind, she heard the door of the break room be pushed open once again. This time, it was the clicking of high heels, followed by the sound of the door being locked.

The sound of the door locking?

Shen Liangchuan and a woman behind closed doors in a room at the set where they didn’t have to worry about gossip? Was something R-rated going to take place?

Qiao Lian pricked up her ears and heard Yang Lingsi’s coquettish voice, “Teacher Shen, I finally got the chance to be alone with you. There are some things that I have always wanted to tell you. And today, I can’t bear to keep it to myself anymore. Teacher Shen, I have always really liked you!”

Qiao Lian was confused after hearing her words.

So, these two people were putting in so much effort to sneak in there and it was just for… a confession?

Wasn’t it more like they were already having an illicit affair?

Instinctively, Qiao Lian took a step forward and opened a gap of the door as she peeked out.

Yang Lingsi was standing in the room while Shen Liangchuan was casually sitting on the sofa. As usual, his face was expressionless. However, his icy cold eyes were about to meet Qiao Lian’s.

Qiao Lian panicked instantly as her hands trembled and, “Bam!” She shut the door and shortly after, she heard Yang Lingsi’s alarmed voice, “Who is it?”

Qiao Lian wished she could chop off her own hands.

Why had her itchy hands chosen to open the door for the sake of seeing Shen Liangchuan’s reaction?

However, from the look in his eyes, he seemed to have known that there was someone in the washroom all along.
