"Keep pretending to be deaf and be your wife."

In front of the dressing table, Li Xiaochu carefully mulled over what he had said last night.

Isn't it nice that she can stay with him?

"Madame, Mr. Li has been waiting in the car for a long time."

The servant's voice came from outside the door, Li Xiaoxi quickly got up, "Ok."

Li Yan Chen had a strong sense of time, he never liked people being late.

Therefore, when she rushed to the front of the car, she said ingratiatingly: "Sorry to keep you waiting."

Li Xiaochu lowered his eyes in frustration, and put on a thin layer of makeup. She obediently changed into the evening dress he prepared, the long black dress making her slim waist seem even more vulnerable.

This was the Li Xiaochu in Li Yan Chen's eyes.

It was familiar, yet also a trace of a strange charm.

She never looked up at him, so no matter how hot his gaze was, he still couldn't see any shyness in her face, which made him frown in dissatisfaction.

"What? What kind of ferocious beast am I? Will I eat you?"

It was rare for him to take the initiative to speak.

Li Xiaoyu looked up in surprise. When he met his unsurprised gaze, he forced a smile: "I didn't."

The answer was irrelevant.

Li Yan Chen's eyebrows pinched even deeper. He retracted his gaze and said in a cold voice, "Take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Don't let your submissive attitude insult Mrs. Li's identity."

Sure enough, after a slight pause, a flash of awkwardness appeared in her eyes. Forcing herself to straighten her waist with a hint of bravado.

Withdrawing his gaze, even Li Yan Chen himself wasn't clear what he was doing, and what his intention was to ridicule Huang Xiaolong.

Her bedraggled appearance did not give her the pleasure she had imagined.

The atmosphere in the carriage became more and more irritable. Li Xiao Chu could feel the sudden pressure from the man beside him, so he didn't dare to breathe too loudly.

Fortunately, about ten minutes later, they arrived at their destination.

She was the first to leave the car and let out a long sigh.

"Come here."

Li Yan Chen never gave her any leeway to relax, and that one simple word caused her to tense up again.

Li Xiao Chu looked at him carefully. The man was tall and straight, and his slightly bent arms were especially conspicuous. She pursed her lips and carefully put them on.

Seemingly fawning on Li Yanchen with her actions, Li Xiaochu could clearly sense that the aura around him had been slightly restrained.

A man and a woman were walking towards them from a short distance away.

Unfortunately, she knew all of them.

The man was the popular director Director Li, while the woman was a phenomenal female celebrity. She was Li Yan Chen's rumored girlfriend, Wei Wenxue.

The world was really small.

"Director Li, long time no see. My new movie is about to start, are you interested in joining me again?"

As Director Li said this, he handed over the red wine. His smile carried a clear hint of a test.

Li Yan Chen accepted the wine cup and took a sip, agreeing without hesitation, "60 million, tomorrow I will get my assistant to transfer the funds over. Director Li, it's a pleasure to work together."

Half a year ago, he also invested some money into Director Li as an investor. After half a year, Director Li's movie became famous, and both sides were earning a lot.

After half a year, he did the same thing. The only difference was that this time, he added a requirement.

"Put her on your crew as well."

Li Xiaoxi was pushed out, caught off guard. She hurriedly stood still with a smile on her face.

Director Li gave her a thoughtful look and chuckled, "I've seen this young miss' works before. I originally thought that this new movie would be especially suitable for her. I never expected that we would find a channel for her to cooperate with Director Li today. What fate!"

Even a ghost could hear the truth in his words, and Li Xiaochu's laughter became more forced.

Director Li was a well-known celebrity in the industry. Countless people had sharpened their minds in order to get a spot in his works. She was just an unknown celebrity, someone who might not even be able to reach that level in her entire life.

The huge difference caused her lips to go white.

She had a premonition that tonight would be the watershed in her life.

"I've long heard that Director Li's role as number two for the movie has not been searched for a long time. So it turns out that she had a prearranged candidate. This young lady is really lucky. It seems like her relationship with Director Li is definitely not ordinary."

Only then did Li Xiaoxi notice Wei Wenxue, who was standing beside Director Li.

She was about the same height as him, but because of the ten-centimeter high heels, he was slightly taller. Right now, he was raising his chin with an obviously superior posture.

Li Xiaoxi pursed his lips and did not say anything. She was waiting for Li Yan Chen to give her a signal, and she would take the initiative to put aside the relationship between the two of them and leave them alone.

"It is indeed extraordinary."

"…"

There was no extra embellishment in the terse response, which was so straightforward that it made one's hair stand on end.

Li Xiaochu raised his eyes to look at him, but Li Yan Chen did not feel the least bit uncomfortable. He vaguely announced the relationship between the two, allowing everyone to guess what they were thinking.

At this moment, Li Xiaochu suddenly understood what the 'price' was.

Her life was destined to be turned upside down.

— —

"I've been on the phone since morning, and by now, the phones in the office are all going to explode. From today until half a year later, your time slot is filled to the brim. Oh my god, I didn't even dare to think about this before …" Little Chu, you're red! "

Li Xiaoxi was curled up on the sofa with his phone between his ear and shoulder. He held an orange in his hand and pulled on the white silk absent-mindedly.

It was her agent, Yang Zhen Zhen, on the phone. Thirty minutes had passed and he was still in a state of extreme excitement.

Li Xiaochu thought about how he had beaten her up and started his career. He was miserable and indifferent for the past few years, so he couldn't bear to interrupt his manager's high spirits.

"Oh right, Director Li, he told you to go for the audition now. I'll send you the coordinates, hurry over here!"

Li Xiao Chu shook his head helplessly, got up and took a taxi to the coordinates.

From afar, he saw Yang Zhen waving his arm at her. "Little Chu!"

Yang Zhen's voice was really not soft. With this call, almost everyone on the set looked over.

In today's well-developed internet, Li Xiaochu's traffic had soared to become a hot topic. Everyone present was curious about his identity, including the face of the woman who was the most powerful person in D City, the CEO of the Li family.

At the attention of the crowd, Li Xiaochu was unfazed and walked straight in front of Yang Zhen Zhen, who impatiently pushed her forward, "Director Li, what do you need our Little Chu to do?"

Director Li was directing the decorations when he heard this. When he turned around, he casually handed over a book and said, "This is an audition script. After memorizing the lines, try it out. Let's find a makeup artist to make a simple pose first."

"Director Li, I remember that the character for our second female lead was a female general. There were quite a few scenes playing out, but I wonder if Miss Li is weak or weak. After all, the opening scene is just a falling out show."

It was only when Wei Wenxue spoke that Li Xiaochu noticed her.
