"Of course not, I'm just curious why you would say that? Didn't you always cling to me before? Why are you suddenly telling me you don't have time to see me now? Where are you going?"
"You're not going anywhere, it's just that I have a new drama about to start filming, so I might be staying with the crew for a long time. I might not have as much time as before to rely on you, to chat with you, or to have tea."
Shi Xinxin was very happy to hear Yue Ran say that, finally able to get rid of him, wasn't this a good opportunity?
"Then I wish your new drama success."
Yue Ran smiled at Shi Xinxin, but Shi Xinxin didn't expect that the new drama Yue Ran mentioned was this one. The moment Shi Xinxin saw Yue Ran, she was very unhappy. He had actually lied to her.
When Shi Xinxin hadn't seen Yue Ran at first, she was still secretly pleased. He must be in that crew now.
So he wouldn't be here at all. But who knew that Shi Xinxin would unexpectedly see Yue Ran at the program's launch ceremony.
Shi Xinxin was very angry the moment she saw Yue Ran. This Yue Ran had contacted her last time and said that he had a new drama about to start filming, so he wouldn't have much time to see her. At that time, Shi Xinxin was even happy for a short while.
At this moment, Shi Xinxin's agent came to find her, holding the script with great joy.
"Xinxin, do you know this drama? You're the female lead, but do you know who the male lead is? It's Yue Ran. This is your second collaboration, right!"
What? Yue Ran is the male lead. Shi Xinxin picked up the script and looked at it carefully. She and Yue Ran had a lot of intimate scenes, which made Shi Xinxin very surprised. After the launch ceremony, Shi Xinxin found Yue Ran.
"Yue Ran, you liar, didn't you say you had another new drama to start filming? What? Is it this drama?"
Yue Ran looked at Shi Xinxin's questioning not with much guilt but with firmness: "That's right."
"Yue Ran, you clearly know that I am the female protagonist of this drama, and you are the male protagonist. Moreover, we have many intimate scenes. What do you mean by doing this?"
"This script wasn't decided by me. This script was decided by the director and the screenwriter. If you're not satisfied, you can go to the screenwriter to change it. But the male and female leads are indeed you and me. Moreover, I specifically requested this male lead with the director, and I'm doing a friendly appearance, so I don't need any fees."
"Friendly appearance? Yue Ran, you also know that there are rumors about you and me spreading outside. Now there are rumors about us everywhere. If you act in the same drama with me like this now, and this drama has many intimate scenes that were not in the previous drama, which are between you and me. If the two of us act in this drama and it airs, what will the fans think? What will the paparazzi think then?"
"Xinxin, do you really not want me to act in the same drama with you? Do you really not want to act opposite me?"
"It's not that I dislike it or don't want to. It's just that you understand the current situation. The rumors about you and me are everywhere. No one doesn't know. Now some of your fans have even started to verbally attack and personally attack me. If I were to cause any more trouble with you, how would this situation be handled? Have you ever thought about it? If things escalate, have you ever thought about what the consequences would be?"
"Xinxin, no matter what the outcome is, I will bear it. You don't need to consider or worry about anything. I will bear everything." Yue Ran said very firmly.
"Yue Ran, this matter is not about who bears it or not. There are other reasons. You can't just deny these reasons because of these. I just want you to consider it." Shi Xinxin shook her head and retorted Yue Ran.
"Xinxin, there's no need to consider it. The male lead of this drama has already been decided as me, and I specifically requested this male lead from the director. So it cannot be changed. If you are worried about some of the intimate scenes, we can go to the director and screenwriter to delete or revise some parts. Can't we do that then?"
Shi Xinxin didn't want to argue with Yue Ran any longer. She was directly angered and went home, ignoring the new drama's launch ceremony and going straight home.
Back home, Wen Xiaoxiao was surprised to see Shi Xinxin return. She went up to Shi Xinxin.
"Xinxin, isn't today the launch ceremony for your new drama? Why did you come back so suddenly? Have you finished everything?"
Hearing Wen Xiaoxiao's words, Shi Xinxin looked at her with a troubled expression: "Today was supposed to be the launch ceremony for my drama, but I encountered someone I really didn't want to see, so I just came back."
"Someone you didn't want to see? Who? Could it be Yue Ran!"
Shi Xinxin nodded at Wen Xiaoxiao.
"Why? You don't want to see him?"
"Xiaoxiao, you also know that there are rumors about you and me everywhere now. Now some of his fans are already starting to have dissatisfaction with me. Moreover, I am acting in the same drama with him now. We have many intimate scenes. If we accept and perform them, what will his fans think of us? Then the previous rumors will be even harder to explain."
Wen Xiaoxiao understood after hearing this: "So that's why you just came back. You didn't even care about the launch ceremony."
Shi Xinxin nodded. Wen Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say looking at Shi Xinxin.
Shi Xinxin looked at Wen Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, do you think I should pay a breach of contract fee and reject this drama?"
"Breach of contract? Why breach of contract? This drama is an opportunity for you no matter what. How can you waste this opportunity?"
"Don't you know? Yue Ran is in that crew, and both he and I are in a sensitive period now. He is in his rising stage. If more rumors spread, what will happen then? What if it affects him? And what if something really happens? It will be difficult to explain for both of us."
Wen Xiaoxiao understood Shi Xinxin. The reason Shi Xinxin was so resolute was because she hadn't completely forgotten Sheng Chenjin, and that was why.
"Xinxin, tell me, is it for this reason that you haven't forgotten Sheng Chenjin yet!"
The moment Shi Xinxin heard the name Sheng Chenjin, her expression turned very bad. Wen Xiaoxiao looked at Shi Xinxin and knew that Shi Xinxin had tacitly admitted it when she didn't speak.
