All Too Late

An Chuyu's beauty was acclaimed as the ceiling of the entertainment industry, and every time she graced the red carpet, she overshadowed celebrities from all sides. Female stars who appeared alongside her felt immense pressure. Not only was she top-notch in terms of beauty, but her acting skills were also praised by renowned directors, her movie opportunities were enviable, making countless people in the industry green with envy, and she was a walking trending topic. There was a saying that marketing accounts could top half a year's performance just by reporting any gossip about An Chuyu. An Chuyu imagined she would ascend to new heights in her acting career, clutching more awards; but who knew, life is unpredictable, and with a single turn, she stepped into the halls of matrimony. It was a marriage arranged by their families, without any foundation of affection, not even understanding each other, having met just once before getting their marriage certificate. The only meeting they had was accompanied by lawyers from both sides when they were notarizing their properties and signing a prenuptial agreement to prevent future disputes in case of divorce, prepared to split at any moment. An Chuyu had one demand: to keep the marriage secret. Xi Zheng: Well done, getting banished to the cold palace right after the wedding :) * It was assumed that the marriage would be in name only, each doing their own thing, but unexpectedly, the two had a chance encounter in the romantic city of Paris, and sparks flew uncontrollably. After returning home, An Chuyu changed faces like a Sichuan opera performer, unrecognizable and continued her crusade in the entertainment industry. Xi Zheng, however, couldn't forget her and flirted with her now and then. …… Latter on, An Chuyu was snapped in the makeup room being intimately close with a man. It was confirmed that this man was none other than the power holder of Yueting, Xi Zheng. #AnChuyuSugarDaddyExposed# quickly soared to the top of the trending search. Fans were shocked, the haters became active, and her archenemies issued press releases one after another to overwhelm her. Xi Zheng couldn't hold back and sneaked onto the company's official Weibo to clarify himself: I am married to An Chuyu, and we have a son together. Thank you for your concern.

Chapter 40 Blatant Favoritism

An Chuyu didn't feel right about freeloading, so before leaving, she used her phone to scan the payment code posted on the wall. According to the estimated prices on the menu, she calculated roughly how much they owed and paid an amount that exceeded the anticipated total.

The two who were now full and satisfied left the restaurant, with An Chuyu fishing a mask out of her pocket and fastening it tightly to her face.

If the paparazzi caught her again tonight, the headlines would scream "New Golden Rooster Best Actress Award winner An Chuyu has a night out with two men." She couldn't handle that, nor could her studio's PR team.

On the car ride back to the hotel, to keep their identities hidden, neither of them spoke a word in the back seat of the taxi, and they sat there like two wooden figures.

When getting out of the car, Xi Zheng first fumbled in the side pocket of his travel bag and pulled out a pair of sunglasses to wear before coolly paying the taxi fare.
