Yun Nan, however, disagreed. “It’s not impossible if Shi Nian seriously wanted to pursue this matter!”

Meanwhile, Shi Xiu was quite unhappy about the whole situation. “Why are these women so shameless?! My brother won’t pursue the matter; this is a promotional ad for Xiang Yang’s—my sister-in-law—product. Xiang Yang must have asked my brother and picked out that picture.”

Yun Nan nodded; what Shi Xiu said made sense. Fang Xi laughingly quipped at Shi Xiu, “Many people are pretending to be your second sister-in-law right now. It’s a mess out there!”

Shi Xiu snorted. “It’s fine. If worse comes to worst, I’ll ask my brother to make a statement and announce my sister-in-law’s identity!”

“Wait! Please don’t—” Yun Nan anxiously tried to dissuade her from the idea.

Fang Xi interjected and smilingly said, “Sounds good. Then, our movie will gain a lot of attention.”

Yun Nan facepalmed and groaned, ‘Girls, this isn’t helping! Shi Xiu, call your brother and tell him not to clarify or say anything!”

“Why not?” Shi Xiu defiantly replied. “Yun Nan, this is a scam! They’re lying! My brother has never had an ambiguous relationship with any of them. You have to believe me!”

Yun Nan raised her hands in surrender. “I do! Of course, I do! I only hope that we don’t get mixed up in this mess. Otherwise, we won’t be able to shoot our movie in peace. You don’t want to be surrounded by paparazzi every day during your first filming experience, right?”

Shi Xiu somewhat understood what Yun Nan was getting at. Fang Xi patted her shoulder and said, “What your second sister-in-law means is that we want to make this movie a hit based on our own talents and abilities instead of relying on crooked methods. Also, we don’t want to be bothered by all sorts of rabble when we start filming. It’ll affect our publicity efforts in the later stages. Do you understand?”

Shi Xiu understood. “But I’m still angry!” she griped. The young miss pouted, and her cheeks puffed up in anger. Yun Nan poked her cheeks before stating, “This is your first lesson as an actor: a little impatience spoils great plans!

Forget about this matter and tell your brother to watch his mouth!”

Shi Nian hadn’t expected things to turn out so bizarrely. Chang Yuan looked at his bewildered expression and found it funny. He could probably count this matter as one of the few—less than ten—failures that Shi Nian had experienced since he was a kid.

Shi Xiu sent Shi Nian a voice message, and Shi Nian’s expression soured even more after listening to it. Chang Yuan, on the other hand, was slightly surprised. He asked, “Didn’t the Young Madam come to you for your support? Why won’t she let you speak up on this matter? No matter how you look at it, it would be very beneficial to her if you announced her identity outright to the public now, wouldn’t it?”

Shi Nian rubbed his chin in thought and uttered, “She has never wanted to rely on others to further her own career. She only came to me to help her deal with the things and people she doesn’t want to waste her time on.”

‘Uh, okay? Chang Yuan thought, nonplussed by Yun Nan’s unique approach.

Shi Nian’s brain worked rapidly as he played with his phone in his hand. Since she didn’t want him to publicize their relationship, he would spend the time laying the groundwork for the moment their relationship was made public. He turned on his computer, picked a few more photos, and sent them to Liang Han. Then, he called Liang Han.

“Hey, bro! Your little advert caused quite a sensation. Did you hear about those female celebrities changing their looks overnight? Oh man, I laughed so hard my stomach hurt. I wish I could see the look on your face! Hahahaha! Oh, how did your lady love react?” Liang Han didn’t forget to ask after he finished teasing Shi Nian.

“I’ve sent you a few photos. I’ll send you the accompanying texts later,” Shi Nian informed him, ignoring his ribbing.

“Hey, what’s going on? Shouldn’t you come out and make a statement? Won’t everything be solved if you reveal your lady love to the public? What’s with all the cloak-and-dagger and keeping everyone hanging? Are you deliberately doing this for more publicity?” Liang Han asked, perplexed.

“Is that a problem?” Shi Nian retorted.

“No, no problem at all—But this isn’t like you! Shi Nian, what are your plans? I don’t understand what you’re trying to achieve here,” Liang Han stated, even more confused than before.

“She wants to play, so I’ll go along with her,” chuckling, Shi Nian responded.

‘Ew!’ Liang Han disdainfully thought and rubbed his arms. “You’re giving me goosebumps here, buddy.”

Shi Nian smiled as he hung up the phone. Chang Yuan stared at the man’s foolish grin with mixed feelings and thought, ‘I guess the impossible can happen. Good luck, Shi Nian.’

The photos Shi Nian sent Liang Han were the ones secretly taken by the media during his visit to Mr. MO’s garden. Due to Yun Liu’s scam that day, he had all the photos of the media on the scene confiscated in a fit of anger. He kept all the photos of him and Yun Nan.

He was wearing his wedding ring at the time. Though that ring was something they’d bought offhandedly, it didn’t matter because he had photoshopped the new wedding ring his sister-in -law had designed onto those photos. Now that everything was sorted, Shi Nian called his sister-in-law to reserve that pair of wedding rings..
