Stirring Up Trouble

All eyes turned to the left front, focusing on a man and a woman.

"Wow, it's my goddess, Xiao Yun!"

"She's so beautiful."

"And my idol is so handsome, even more so than on TV. What an aura!"

"They look so perfect together. I hope they're a couple," Farah, the chubby girl, said with an infatuated look.

Her words immediately drew countless hostile glances.

Farah shrank her neck and dared not say another word.

"Farah, that idiot! How can she think that plastic Xiao Yun is worthy of my idol?" Samara sneered.

Natalie laughed, "With her eyes, it's no wonder. Arthur despises her so much, but she can't see it at all and still shamelessly clings to him."

Mentioning Arthur, Naya spoke up, "Recently, Zuri still sends gifts to Arthur from time to time."

"Saira, you need to step up your game and not let Zuri steal a march on you."

Saira shook her head, "If she likes him, she can have him."

In fact, she had been texting Arthur every day recently, much more frequently than before. She certainly wouldn't let Zuri take her fiancé.

Natalie looked exasperated, "You really are…"

"What kind of gifts has she been giving Arthur?" Saira asked.

"I'm not too sure."

Natalie and the others hadn't inquired into it; people only talked about the gifts, but no one seemed to know exactly what they were.

Everyone's focus was on Zuri pursuing Arthur, not on the gifts themselves. For these wealthy second-generation kids, who cared about gifts? Gifts were just things, after all.

The usually quiet Naya said, "I saw it once. It looked like food, with a pretty package."

Natalie burst out laughing, "She must believe in that saying, what is it again? Oh, right, 'The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.' Hahaha, she's so naive."

Saira and the others covered their mouths, laughing.

Such sayings were to fool naive girls. For people of their background, who were used to gourmet chefs, did she really think showing off her cooking skills would win a man's heart? That underestimated Michelin chefs too much.

As Owen and Xiao Yun came out, the set manager approached with a smile, "Mr. Feng, Ms. Xiao, let's head down."

Owen nodded.

Xiao Yun smiled, "Alright."

After the set manager left, Xiao Yun turned to look at her partner, admiring his perfect profile. Her eyes revealed her affection, "Owen, you don't look like someone who graduated years ago in this uniform."

Owen was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of Zuri standing upfront, his eyes lighting up.

Remembering her earlier text, Owen smiled silently.

This little girl knew how to surprise him.

Xiao Yun noticed his smile and was slightly stunned. She had never seen him smile outside of filming. He always had a cold expression, polite to everyone, but it was hard to get close to him.

Following his gaze, Xiao Yun immediately noticed the beautiful figure in the crowd.

The girl's features were delicate, her skin fair, her long black hair flowing in the wind, and her figure was graceful, exuding a refined elegance.

Even in the entertainment world full of beauties, she was top-tier.

Xiao Yun's eyes narrowed slightly.

Without revealing her thoughts, Xiao Yun continued, "Owen?"

Owen snapped back, in a good mood, "By normal procedures, I wouldn't have graduated yet, so it makes sense to still be a student."

Xiao Yun was taken aback, then covered her mouth and laughed, "I almost forgot, you're a genius who graduated early."

Despite earning double degrees and graduating early, Owen was only twenty-two, still very young. His exceptional talents often made people overlook his age.

As they walked to the center of the set, Owen subtly winked at Zuri, who responded with a playful smile.

This little rascal!

Owen chuckled inwardly, his eyes smiling.

Others might not have noticed their interaction, but Xiao Yun, who constantly watched Owen, did. She frowned slightly.

"Mr. Feng, Ms. Xiao."

He Ling and Jiang Pingting, two supporting actresses, greeted them but didn't crowd Owen.

Both had just graduated from college and were thrilled to act alongside Owen, but they'd heard of actresses who had tried too hard to get close to him and ended up replaced.

Thus, these two newcomers kept a respectful distance.

Xiao Yun responded gently.

Owen nodded slightly.

"Let's get into position."

The actors found their spots, while the extras eagerly cooperated.

After two walkthroughs, as the shooting was about to begin, Xiao Yun's assistant approached the director with a smile, "Director Zhang, those three girls are too close to my sister Yun and might affect her. Could you move them elsewhere?"

Director Zhang looked through the monitor at the three girls, all of whom were pretty, especially the one in the middle, who bore a slight resemblance to Owen.

Noticing the middle girl's photogenic face and comparing it to Xiao Yun in the same frame, Xiao Yun seemed dimmer.

Director Zhang understood why Xiao Yun found them obstructive.

He told his assistant, who immediately informed the set manager.

"So, this is how filming is," Farida lost interest after the initial excitement wore off.

"My idol is so handsome."

Azura was mesmerized by her idol's good looks.

"I'm going to ask for his autograph later."

Just then, the set manager approached the three, "You three, move over there."

He pointed to the furthest spot.

Azura's infatuation vanished instantly.

"Why?"

Azura didn't want to move.

Farida asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with standing here?"

The set manager impatiently replied, "Just go there, no more questions."

His arrogant attitude immediately angered Azura.

"If you don't give me a reason, I'm not moving." Azura stared at him coldly.

The commotion drew everyone's attention.

Owen, rehearsing lines with Xiao Yun, turned to see the set manager and the three girls at odds, the atmosphere tense.
