“Brother, is there anything good to eat there?” Craving for food, Shen Xi was fixated on Li Yuan.

“What do you want to eat? I’ll have it air-lifted to you,” replied Li Yuan.

Shen Xi cleared her throat and stared right at the man basking in the sunlight. She was willing to lay bare of her wall of defense when he gazed at her tenderly with that smile on his handsome face. She took a gulp. “You!”

Li Yuan reached out and tapped the girl’s nose tip on the screen. “Wait for my return.”

Shen Xi bobbed her head. “Sure.”

Li Yuan stared at the girl who he could only look at but not touch. His heart was full yet empty. If only he could embrace her now.

Ever since they started going steady, Shen Xi video-called him every night until she fell asleep except the time she was in military training.

Li Yuan watched the girl fast asleep on the video. Her face was almost stuck onto the phone. Looking at her luscious lashes fluttering along with her breathing, he leaned forward to kiss her forehead through the screen and affectionately uttered, “Goodnight.”

The next day, Shen Xi got up and was brushing her teeth in the toilet when there was a knock on the door.

She opened the door to Xuan Yuan standing there in a waitressing outfit. He smiled at her and bowed. “Good morning, Missus.”

Shen Xi found it strange. “Why are you here?”

She met him a few times since their first encounter at Cream of the Crop.

Following a clap of Xuan Yuan’s hands, many more waiters emerged pushing food carts. Xuan Yuan gazed at Shen Xi and grinned. “A breakfast prepared by Boss for you.”

Shen Xi’s pupils dilated. “Air-lifted from Greece?”

Xuan Yuan smiled. “Boss said the food could taste a bit lacking if air-lifted here, so he transported the chefs and freshest ingredients overnight and borrowed the hotel’s kitchen to serve the food fresh.”

Shen Xi coughed as the waiters walked into her room in a line and placed the meticulously prepared food on the dining table. Every inch of her heart was filled with love. However, this was a tad overboard since it was only a passing remark of hers.

All the cast were living on this floor.

Many of them were not short of money, but barely anyone would make a huge fuss and order so much early in the morning. They were curious who was staying in the presidential suite.

There were only two presidential suites in the hotel. The production team was not going to blow off their funds to let the actors stay in a suite of twenty thousand yuan a night.

Picking up on the commotion, Su Ruowan came out of her room and stood beside Liu Xin, the leading lady. Su Ruowan riveted her eyes on the waiter waiting by the door.

She recognized the waiter. He was the young man who kicked her family out of Cream of the Crop, blacklisted them, and gave them a clock.

Liu Xin quietly asked her, “Do you recognize that hottie?”

The young man was young but was more charming than Ning Yi who was the male lead.

The way she saw it, Ning Yi was one of the most handsome actors in the industry, yet he paled in comparison to the young man here.

“I don’t.” Furrowing her brows, Su Ruowan wondered why the young man was here. She knew that the young man was someone of high standing.

“My assistant went to the kitchen to get me something and heard that a few top chefs came all the way from Greece with their own ingredients and worked in the kitchen two hours ago. It’s something about their madam craving the food from there,” Liu Xin whispered.

No one could get close with dozens of black-suited bodyguards keeping watch over the presidential suite. It was such a grand, indiscreet, and high-profile lineup.

“Oh.” While feeling like a bunch of sour grapes, Su Ruowan pondered about the person who could make the arrogant and young man-in-charge from Cream of the Crop put on a waiter’s outfit to bow and scrape.

Having just entered the world of showbiz, this was Liu Xin’s first TV series. She was a freshman in acting school and had never seen such a fine spectacle. Liu Xin was envious. “If someone ever does that for me, I’ll marry him!”

This was every woman’s dream scenario!

Su Ruowan was overtaken by many emotions, but she did not let it show on her face. She warmly gazed at Liu Xin and inquired, “What if it’s an old geezer?”

Liu Xin shuddered and drooled over Xuan Yuan. Looking smitten, she answered, “It should at least be like the pretty boy there.”

Su Ruowan held back her tongue. The pretty boy was way out of her league. Liu Xin should take a look at herself in the mirror.

Nevertheless, Su Ruowan was rather jealous of Liu Xin. Why was Liu Xin the leading lady while she played second fiddle?

Not into mind games, Liu Xin was frank and spoke her mind. “I heard someone from our production team is staying in the presidential suite.”

The production team booked out the entire hotel. The person staying there must be part of the crew. The only mystery was the identity of the person with the privilege to stay in the room.

“Could it be Mr. Cloud Seven?” Su Ruowan voiced her assumption.

“No way. Isn’t Screenwriter Cloud Seven a man?” Liu Xin frowned. Everyone on the team heard the screenwriter’s phone call with Ms. Li yesterday. Judging by the voice, Cloud Seven must be a young man.

Her assistant told her just now that the chefs were flown from Greece to provide service to their lady of the house.

Meanwhile, Li Jingran emerged from her room.

Liu Xin was lost in her thoughts when Li Jingran’s appearance took her by surprise. The latter looked pale and sickly. Liu Xin asked with worry, “Ms. Li, are you alright?”

She also caught wind about the gossip going around. However, the rumors must not be true since Ms. Li was portrayed in a good light in showbiz.

Taking notice of Li Jingran’s haggard face, Su Ruowan drew close. “Mom, did you not have a good night’s sleep last night?”

Li Jingran shook her head and replied weakly, “I’m fine.”

All she wanted was to finish the shoot quickly and leave the godd*mn place right now. Oh, how she wished to part ways with the b*stard Cloud Seven and never worked with him ever again.

Li Jingran was certain that Cloud Seven was colluding with Yuan Yu to get rid of her!

Nearly everyone was gathered in the hallway. Lin Chan walked out and was taken aback by Li Jingran. She spoke aloud, “What happened to you, Ms. Li? Did you have a nightmare?”

Li Jingran could not stand the sight of Lin Chan. Still, she retained an amicable smile on the surface. “I’m not used to any beds other than my own. I’m finding it hard to acclimatize, that’s all. Nothing’s the matter.”

Nightmare?

She had not slept a wink.

Godd*mn Yuan Heng.. Once the shoot was over, Li Jingran planned to look for a shaman to ward off the ghost. That would show Yuan Heng!
