All the way out of the house, Shen Nanxian still had not figured out how to explain himself. If he told the truth, would Liu Lanci treat him like a pervert? But if he did not tell the truth, what if his cover was blown one day?
Shen Nanxian irritably rubbed his temples, feeling his mind all mixed up.
After Shen Nanxian left the villa, Liu Lanci could no longer suppress the upward curve of his lips. He leisurely left the villa, got into the van, and headed to the film set.
“Achoo!” After getting into the car, Liu Lanci sneezed, and his nose even started running.
Did he catch a cold? Liu Lanci rubbed his aching head. Looking at the buildings gradually disappearing outside the window, he felt dazed, and Shen Nanxian’s face floated into his mind.
I wonder if Mr. Shen has arrived at the company by now?
The crew of Love’s Law.
“Places everyone! Action!”
Following the director’s shout, everyone immediately stepped into their roles step by step.
“I love you.”
What Liu Lanci played was a pitiful, beautiful, yet tragic male lead. He was wearing a damp white shirt, his steps were weak, his complexion pale, and his hands tightly grabbed the female lead’s hand.
“Let go of your hand quickly, or else I will hate you.” The female lead disgustedly pulled her hand back, turning away coldly as if she was about to leave.
“Wait.”
Liu Lanci called out to her, his voice hoarse and filled with sorrow. He slowly closed his eyes, and tears slipped from his eye sockets.
“I just wanted to tell you that person who saved you before is not a good person.”
Liu Lanci finished speaking intermittently and collapsed onto the ground.
The female lead stood not far away, looking with a complex expression at the unconscious Liu Lanci.
“Cut!”
Director Lu roared loudly, announcing the end of the scene.
This scene was completed in one take, and everyone revealed smiles.
“Haha, good! Fantastic!” Director Lu excitedly rushed over, gently patted Liu Lanci’s shoulder, and praised, “Lanci, well done!”
This scene could be said to be Liu Lanci’s smoothest one so far, without any stumbles, and it was completed very beautifully.
Liu Lanci wiped his tears, expressed his thanks, and calmly took a few steps back to dodge Director Lu’s hand.
Director Lu felt somewhat displeased inside, but on the surface he did not show it, merely taking it as his own abruptness just now. Thus, he smiled and said to Liu Lanci, “Lanci ah, your state is getting better and better. Winning an award next year is not a problem.”
Hearing Director Lu’s praise, Liu Lanci smiled indifferently without much reaction. He was not enthusiastic about the entertainment industry, and was even less interested in any awards.
Seeing that the atmosphere was awkward, Liu Lanci’s assistant hurriedly found an excuse to take Liu Lanci away, leaving Director Lu standing alone in place.
While Liu Lanci was resting on the bed inside the van, the assistant began to report work to Shen Nanxian, and covertly put in a bad word about Director Lu.
Knowing full well that Liu Lanci had someone he liked, he actually still kept crowding around him.
Upon learning about Liu Lanci’s situation, Shen Nanxian felt extremely terrible. Wanting to poach his man? It seems he had to go visit the set.
“Xiao Li, prepare the car.”
“Eh, got it.” Xiao Li, the life assistant, briskly ran out.
Half an hour later, Shen Nanxian set off heading toward the film set.
Director Lu was suddenly notified that the investor was coming. While surprised, he was also extremely happy. After all, the investor was very generous, and he deeply hoped that the Shen Corporation could also invest in his next drama.
Director Lu early on led the crew members to stand at the entrance of the film set to welcome him.
“President Shen, hello, hello. I have long heard of your great name, and today I finally get to see you in person.” Director Lu extended his right hand and shook hands with Shen Nanxian.
Seeing this, Director Lu’s friend Song Yi immediately interjected, “President Shen is here to visit the set, right! Liu Lanci just finished filming and went to rest now!”
Shen Nanxian slightly nodded his head in acknowledgment. Afterward, completely ignoring Director Lu, he walked straight toward Liu Lanci’s van.
“Could President Shen and Liu Lanci be in that kind of relationship? How could Liu Lanci degenerate to this extent?” Director Lu felt a bit disappointed in him. He appreciated Liu Lanci very much, and Liu Lanci indeed possessed acting skills; he believed that Liu Lanci would definitely become famous in the future.
Song Yi glanced at Director Lu with disdain and said, “A man like President Shen, who wouldn’t like him? Besides, how do you know they are in that kind of relationship? Not knowing the truth and withholding judgment is the most basic politeness.”
“It was presumptuous of me, I was just.” Director Lu helplessly sighed. He was also because he valued Liu Lanci too much, to the point that he lost his judgment.
“I’ve never seen any CEO pamper a little lover, not only specially opening a company for him, but throwing money in by the handfuls. In a little while, Liu Lanci might just become Madam Shen.” Song Yi’s cavalier tone was mixed with envy.
Director Lu fell silent, yet in his heart he somewhat disbelieved Song Yi’s statement. Although he had little contact with this person Shen Nanxian, he could affirm based on intuition that such a proud son of heaven could never marry someone from an ordinary family background.
Shen Nanxian walked up to the motorhome and saw that Liu Lanci was fiddling with the mobile phone in his hand, his lips curved upward, as if he had encountered something that made him extremely happy.
“It’s already noon, hungry right?” Shen Nanxian walked over, took off his coat and hung it on the back of the chair beside him, looking down at Liu Lanci.
Liu Lanci raised his head and looked at the handsome, dashing, outstanding, overbearing yet gentle Shen Nanxian before him, unable to help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
Afterward, he flurriedly turned off his phone and pretended to be calm as he responded, “Mhm, a little hungry.”
Although the action was fast, Shen Nanxian still saw the content inside the phone. It was a photo of him, a photo of him working out with his upper body bare.
“Shen. Mr. Shen, why are you looking at me?” Liu Lanci stared at Shen Nanxian somewhat fearfully, terrified of being found out by the other party about any clues.
Shen Nanxian smiled, reached out, and touched Liu Lanci’s hair. The texture was very soft. “Let’s go eat first, shall we?”
Liu Lanci obediently nodded.
Shen Nanxian found a relatively high-end restaurant and ordered a table full of dishes.
Looking at the exquisite food before him, Liu Lanci could not help picking up his chopsticks and tasting them. The taste was indeed extremely good.
“You try this, this soup is very delicious.” Shen Nanxian used a spoon to scoop a bowl of soup and handed it to Liu Lanci.
Liu Lanci froze for a second, lowered his head, and silently accepted Shen Nanxian’s feeding service.
Shen Nanxian kept observing every minute change in Liu Lanci’s expression. Sure enough, as he expected, Liu Lanci no longer resisted his closeness.
Two hours later, Liu Lanci finally put down his chopsticks, let out a burp, rubbed his belly, and exclaimed, “I’m so full.”
Now that he was full, he had the mental capacity to think about other matters. Why would Shen Nanxian treat him so well? Was it because he liked him? A thousand and one guesses flashed through Liu Lanci’s mind, yet he delayed in getting a confirmation.
In the end, he decided to find an opportunity to test the waters.
