Xu Yi now felt that it was not a big deal for Lu Shen to stay in the capital in the future. The house was so big that even if the two of them lived together, they could still not interact with each other.

Gu Xiao sighed. “Since you’ve already made up your mind, then I can only wish you good luck. Let me remind you, be careful of the trending topic when you wake up tomorrow morning. The top celebrity Xu Yi is secretly married to Hong Kong’s bloodthirsty businessman Lu Shen.”

Xu Yi said, “Do you think I’m afraid?”

She hung up the phone with Gu Xiao in a huff. It was time to go to bed after she finished her yoga.

When Xu Yi was not filming, he would always go to bed early. Female celebrities had to go to bed and wake up early to maintain their good looks. Sometimes, her manager, Sister Luo Wei, would even make a surprise call at night to check if she had stayed up late.

At this time, Lu Shen was still in his study. The headquarters in the capital had just been established. It was obvious that he would be very busy.

Xu Yi washed up and went to bed. Before she went to sleep, she recalled Gu Xiao’s threatening words. She could console herself all she wanted, but it was actually a lie to say that she was not guilty. She had worked hard for so long to become an A-list celebrity, and she did not want to roll over. She could only blame herself for being blinded by desire back then and getting herself into trouble.

When Lu Shen returned to his bedroom, it was already late at night. He adjusted the lamp to its dim setting and walked over quietly. He took a look at the person on the bed who had wrapped herself up like a silkworm chrysalis.

This time, she must have really fallen asleep. It was not like last night when she pretended to be asleep. Lu Shen could hear Xu Yi’s slightly rapid breathing. It seemed like she was dreaming?

Lu Shen quietly lifted the blanket on the other side. Just as he was about to get into bed, Xu Yi suddenly shouted, “No!”

Lu Shen paused.

Xu Yi instantly opened her eyes and sat up. Her heart was beating violently. The light was too dim, so she could not tell if it was reality or a dream. When she saw the man beside her, she immediately grabbed him, she was extremely flustered. “What do we do? It’s trending! What do we do?”

Lu Shen could not help but frown. “Trending? What’s trending?”

Xu Yi hurriedly took out her phone from under her pillow. In her dream, the reporters had found out that she had engaged in a secret marriage. The news of ‘Xu Yi Lu Shen’s secret marriage’ was high up on the trending list, and the headline was in the bolded font!

She hurriedly unlocked her phone, then clicked into the top search rankings. She pointed the screen at Lu Shen, and her tone was already filled with tears. “Quick, take a look.”

Lu Shen took a look. She was really on the top search rankings, and it was not just one.

First: [Kneel down and beg Xu Yi to be with Jing Hao.]

Second: [The Legend of the Bright Moon, the young princess and the great general are so sweet together.]

While Lu Shen was looking at Xu Yi’s phone, she gradually recovered from her stupor. The world seemed to have become clearer, and she had also figured out what was a dream and what was reality.

‘Xu Yi and Lu Shen’s hidden marriage’ trending on the front page was just a dream. Her waking up in the middle of the night and giving her phone to Lu Shen to look at was reality.

After Xu Yi separated the dream from reality, she instantly became embarrassed. She quickly took her phone back and glanced at it.

“Eh, the broadcast effect of ‘The Legend of the Bright Moon’ is pretty good.”

She saw that the trending searches were basically talking about how sweet she looked on screen with Jing Hao in Legend of the Bright Moon.

“I’m sorry, I had a dream.” Xu Yi tried her best to act as if nothing had happened. “You’ve been busy all day. Go to sleep.”

When she was about to pull up the blanket to cover her head, an arm suddenly blocked in front of her. Xu Yi turned her head and looked at Lu Shen.

“Huh?”

Lu Shen’s hand slowly dropped, and his entire body pressed down on her.

Xu Yi was still in an awkward situation. She protested softly, “Stop fooling around and go to sleep.”

However, not only did Lu Shen not let her off, he went even further. He pressed himself against her ear, and the hot air that he exhaled made her heart itch. Using a mischievous tone, he asked in a low voice, “What, you don’t want your husband anymore after becoming the wife of a general?”

As Lu Shen spoke, he slowly pulled down Xu Yi’s underwear. With his foot, he removed her underwear completely.

His rough palm caressed Xu Yi’s chest. In an instant, Xu Yi’s entire body seemed to have been set on fire. She opened her arms and hugged him tightly!

The two of them faced each other, naked. Xu Yi was sweating, and her lower abdomen felt numb and empty. Her private parts were so sensitive that she could not help but squirm. She opened his mouth to say something, but she let out a shameful moan instead….
