Xiao Lele said, “One of the scripts is a web drama, while the other is a period drama. It’s a big production. Let me tell you about this period drama first. This script and team are very outstanding. It will definitely become popular after it’s broadcast. They invited you to act as the fourth female lead. It’s a tragic character who loves the male lead to the point of madness. The character is dynamic and challenging. I think you can give it a try, but…”

“But what’s wrong?” Chu Xi asked curiously.

“But the third female lead of this drama is Lu Pan’er. You have many scenes with her,” Xiao Lele said.

“Then I won’t go. I feel disgusted whenever I see her. I can’t film with her,” Chu Xi said.

“Sigh, I knew you would say that. Let’s talk about that online drama. The male lead is a singer. He’s handsome, but I heard that he has a bad temper. Moreover, he didn’t graduate from an acting major. There’s a high chance that his acting skills are very bad,” Xiao Lele analyzed.

Chu Xi was speechless.

Chu Xi said that she would think about it again and hung up. Choosing either of these two scripts would give her a difficult time. Why not let her family spend money to invest in a drama where she was the female lead?

But if that was the case, what was the difference between her and those rich heirs she looked down on?

After breakfast was ready, He Yu called Chu Xi to eat. He saw Chu Xi lying weakly on the bed. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he walked over and sat by the bed. Then, he pulled her into his arms and bent down to bury his head in her fair neck while sniffing her sweet scent.

“What’s wrong, sweetheart? Are you unhappy? Tell me about it,” He Yu said gently.

Chu Xi sighed and said, “The entertainment industry is really difficult to survive in!”

He Yu nodded aloofly and continued to bury his head in Chu Xi’s neck. From time to time, he would rub against her. His wife was so fragrant and soft.

“He Yu, can I interview you? How did you attain your current achievements?” Chu Xi asked softly.

“It was due to luck,” He Yu replied calmly.

This was the truth. In his first year of debut, he had become popular after starring in a drama. In the second year, he filmed another movie and obtained the title of Best Actor. In his third year of debut, his accumulated box office earnings exceeded 5 billion yuan and he became a legend in the entertainment industry. All the way until now, his path to stardom had been smooth. He didn’t know what it was like to have a difficult path.

Therefore, he couldn’t empathize with Chu Xi at all. Moreover, he was preoccupied with his wife’s fragrant scent. Just rubbing against her couldn’t satisfy him enough.

Chu Xi was held tightly by the man as she lay on the black bedsheets and couldn’t move at all. He Yu seemed to like the color black very much. The shirt he was wearing now was also black, so at this moment, Chu Xi was like white cream in an Oreo biscuit, sandwiched between two pieces of black.

He Yu stopped and took a deep breath. Then, he held the little woman’s butt with one hand and held the back of her head with the other as he carried her to the dining room. As he hugged her in his arms, he was afraid that she would be frightened if she saw the intense desire in his eyes.

Chu Xi’s uninjured leg swayed in the air while her head was pressed against his chest as she said coquettishly, “You’re so lucky. Can I rub off on your luck?”

He Yu’s voice was low and hoarse as he said, “Sure, I can give you anything you want. So, did you just talk to your manager about work?”

Instead of letting Chu Xi sit on the chair herself, he put her on his lap and hugged her.

Chu Xi wasn’t used to it and struggled to sit on the chair beside her. He Yu said that she was like this before she lost her memory. Then, he lowered his head pitifully, like an abandoned dog.

Chu Xi immediately stopped struggling. She had lost her memories of He Yu, so she felt guilty towards him. If she rejected his intimacy, it would be too much. Therefore, she compromised. The consequences of compromise were…

As she sat on He Yu’s lap, He Yu fed her milk and eggs. He treated Chu Xi like a child and kept feeding her.

Chu Xi was extremely busy eaying whatever He Yu fed up. Her two hands were useless at this moment. She could only fiddle with the buttons on He Yu’s shirt in boredom or tug at her nightgown.

After a while, she finally finished eating. She quickly said, “Xiao Lele called me just now and said that she has two scripts. The producer thinks that my image suits the role and doesn’t have high requirements regarding acting skills. I’m thinking about which one to choose.”

He Yu asked, “Do you need my help?”

Chu Xi looked at him as she said firmly, “I want to rely on myself.”
