Chapter 16: Beware, I'll Expose Your Romance

When getting out of the car, Gu Chenxiao handed the car keys to the driver, instructing, "When you're free, drive her car back."

The driver took them and said with a smile, "Sir, are you worried that Miss Song might have another accident driving by herself, so you deliberately had her leave her car here?"

Gu Chenxiao gave him a glance.

He chuckled heh-heh.

Knowing he had accidentally blurted out the truth again.

-

Song Yan's character was the last to finish filming tonight, and in the drama, she played a role who witnessed the male lead massacre her entire family. She watched in horror as her loved ones left her one by one before realizing that she was nothing more than a stepping stone for him to ascend the throne.

A game of imperial power, the road to the top paved with blood.

Even after filming ended, Song Yan was still immersed in that grief for a long, long time, unable to recover.

The director lavished praise without stinginess, and the male actor who played the leading man perhaps couldn't break character for a long time as well, shedding tears on the spot as if he truly felt the sorrow.

"Sister Yan, you played the part so well!" the little assistant, with eyes brimming with tears, said admiringly, "Qingqing is just so pitiful wuwuwu."

In the drama, Song Yan's character, the female lead named Yan Qingqing, leapt to her death from the city walls. The male lead held her body and wept bitterly, regretting it all too late, finally abandoning the throne and choosing to live reclusively in the mountains alone for the rest of his life.

Song Yan said indifferently, "If I were to write this script, I would never have written such an ending."

The little assistant, with a face full of sorrow and agreement, said, "I think so too! A happy ending would have been so much better, instead of making me shed so many tears wuwuwu."

Song Yan gave her a glance, then she really misunderstood her.

A happy ending was definitely out of the question.

If she were writing the script, the scoundrel who used her and massacred her family would certainly need to have his whole house exterminated to feel avenged.

But after all, a drama is just a drama.

In real life, she would never let herself fall into such a plight.

If a man wanted to betray her, she would strike first.

Song Yan refused the evening invitation from the crew to have a late-night meal and didn't allow her assistant to follow; she left first.

Just as she went out, she bumped into an acquaintance.

She stared at Song Yan for a moment and mocked, "Did you cry because the director criticized your terrible acting?"

Song Yan didn't want to bother and simply walked around her.

But the woman relentlessly followed and blocked Song Yan's path, spreading her arms to stop her.

With a mocking laugh, she said, "Song Yan, I'm not your love rival. Why are you so hostile toward me?"

Frustrated by being blocked again and again, Song Yan was very impatient.

It was only then that she took a good look at her.

The woman before her was named Shi Hui, a wealthy young lady and Song Yan's high school classmate.

She claimed to be the head of Song Yan's "anti-fans," and wherever there was backlash against Song Yan, she would be there.

Song Yan didn't particularly dislike her, but she did find her annoying, always flaunting her presence in front of her every other day.

Song Yan glanced at her expressionlessly and said, "You think you're my love rival? Are you worthy?"

"You..." Shi Hui's face stiffened, and in a fit of embarrassed rage, she threatened, "Be careful, or I'll expose your romance!"

Song Yan appeared completely unconcerned, leisurely responding, "Go ahead, see if I'll stop you."

The fact that she and Gu Chenxiao were dating was known by very few, not even her assistant or agent were aware.

It was purely by chance that Shi Hui knew about it.

But if she had intended to do something, she would have already done it six months ago when she first learned of it.

Now she's using that to threaten Song Yan? How childish.
