That's Not Chewing Gum

Yan Xi smiled. "I'm just giving you some suggestions. Whether you want to act or not depends on yourself."

As the female lead in this book, Gu An had her own way of doing things. Just like her career, no matter how it developed, she would ultimately become an international movie queen.

Hence, under the influence of the protagonist aura, every one of Gu An's films would become popular after "The Duchess of Zhen '.

An idea suddenly struck Yan Xi that If she invested in her, she would be rich in no time.

She looked at Gu An with a burning gaze as if looking at a treasure chest.

Gu An did not know what Yan Xi was thinking. She held Yan Xi's hand and said in an intimate tone, "I'll consider it seriously. Fourth sister-in-law, you're really good."

Yan Xi felt slightly guilty because she was only thinking about money.

…

Yan Xi returned to the room upstairs and opened the door. The first thing she saw was Gu Shen lying on the bed.

He had already changed into his pajamas and was handling some matters on the bed with a tablet. He looked much gentler than before.

When Gu Shen saw Yan Xi enter, he put down the tablet and asked casually, "What did Gu An talk to you about?"

"Nothing much, she just asked me to help her choose a script. I took a look and realized that there's a role that suits her quite well."

Gu Shen sounded a little helpless. "Her acting skills are not good. She can't handle the role she wants to act."

He still remembered that when Gu An's first television drama was aired, she would call him every two to three days to urge him to watch it. She even requested for him to write a 500-word review.

Gu Shen, on the other hand, was stunned by her awful acting and never invested in her ever again.

Yan Xi refuted him, "Gu An is still young, so it's fine if her acting skills are not terrific. It is also because she didn't choose the right roles. Don't say that about her."

Hearing Yan Xi defend others, Gu Shen was unhappy and snorted.

"You know her pretty well."

"Of course."

Gu An was the female lead and even became the Movie Queen in the end. Other things aside, her acting skills were definitely not bad.

Gu Shen became even more unhappy. He pursed his lips and changed the topic. "Come here, let me see your face."

"Ah." The topic suddenly changed. Yan Xi was stunned for a moment. She sat beside Gu Shen and leaned her cheek closer to him.

She mumbled, "It should be fine. It doesn't hurt anymore."

"Don't move." Gu Shen pinched Yan Xi's chin, gasping at the smoothness of her skin.

As he spoke, a warm breath floated into Yan Xi's ear. She suddenly felt numb and froze, not daring to move.

In a place where Yan Xi could not see, Gu Shen's eyes were dark and deep, carrying an unreadable emotion.

After a while, he let go of Yan Xi. "Indeed much better."

Yan Xi frantically hummed in agreement. Her gaze drifted around and finally landed on the small cube beside the bed.

She picked it up and looked around. "Who left the chewing gum here? Did you put it here?"

"That's not chewing gum." Gu Shen looked at her with a strange expression.

"If it's not chewing gum, what is it?" Yan Xi flipped through it even more carefully. She saw a line of small English words below and raised it to her eyes.

The thing was suddenly thrown onto the floor. Yan Xi's face was red as she complained, "Who is so perverted as to put such a thing in the room! And even deliberately placed it at the bedside!"

Gu Shen chuckled. "It's normal for us to have such things in the room."

"I… I didn't mean that." Yan Xi was incoherent. "You don't have to worry. Even if there's really something, I'll be responsible."
