Luo Xin was unimpressed. In her three years in the entertainment industry, she had seen all sorts of people. However, this was the first time she encountered such a shameless woman. “I don’t drink milk tea!”

How had she managed to harm someone and still boldly appear in front of the victim with a smile?

“Oh, no milk tea? Then what would you like to drink? I’ll get my assistant to buy it for you.” Ling Sheng turned around to call for her assistant.

Upon seeing Luo Xin’s attitude, Ling Sheng felt wronged. “Sister, I wasn’t the one who tried to hurt you!”

“I’m not drinking anything. You might poison me.” Luo Xin frowned and lowered her voice. “Ling Sheng, I’ll let you off this time. Next time, if you dare do anything to me, don’t blame me for not showing mercy.”

Ling Sheng innocently bit the straw of her milk tea and lamented. “Senior, how can you think of me that way? I have really turned over a new leaf.”

Indeed, Luo Xin had lived up to the role of the female protagonist in the novel. She spoke with an air of arrogance without being catty and did not bother being pretentious.

When Huo Ci arrived on set, they were filming Ling Sheng and Gu Shen’s scene.

In this scene, Ling Sheng’s character, Bai Jinfeng, who was currently Concubine Shu, was being favored by Gu Shen’s character, the emperor.

The emperor was unwilling to visit Concubine Shu. It was the Imperial Concubine, Lady Xiao Wenjun, who had hustled him over and urged him to show more concern and affection for her sisters.

Except for those who were focused on acting, everyone else on set looked over when Megastar Huo arrived out of the blue. Many production crew members were his fans, and they approached him one after another to greet him.

Huo Ci put an elegant, gentle smile on his handsome face as he nodded and acknowledged everyone. He looked at the girl, who wanted an autograph and was trying to stop him, and said, “I’m going to look for Director Wen first. I’ll sign autographs for you guys later on.”

The girl could barely contain herself, and her heart was beating very fast. When she heard the smooth voice of this megastar idol, she shuddered and half her body felt numb as she nodded repeatedly.

“Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh!”

The idol was so suave, gentle, and hopelessly good-looking!

Today was the perfect day to scream like a marmot over Megastar Huo’s god-like status.

Wen Zhi did not even notice when Huo Ci approached him. He was fully immersed in the filming process, his eyes burning with intense focus.

When the two of them acted opposite each other, they were always more exhilarating to watch than the male and female leads.

Two people were chatting, making small talk, and sweet-talking each other like a man and his wife. Concubine Shu, who was playing chess with the emperor, had only just learned how to play the game. In front of the emperor, her smile was demure. She was understanding and liked to be particularly coquettish.

During their conversation, the emperor let it slip that it was the Imperial Concubine who had pushed him to come over.

In that split moment, Concubine Shu Bai Jinfeng’s face did not flinch one bit. However, her body stiffened slightly, her hand clutching the chess piece. The flash of jealousy that fleeted across her eyes and expressed her detailed emotions was simply incredible.

Huo Ci stared at Ling Sheng on the set, who looked as beautiful as a fairy who had descended on Earth.

She had inherited his good looks.

As for her acting skills, how dare she not know how to act? It was only right that she had been born with a talent for acting, or it would have been a waste of his talented genes.

The assistant director, Lu Tian, noticed Megastar Huo looking intently at Ling Sheng with a myriad of expressions on his face. In the end, Huo Ci seemed very satisfied and proud. Strange.

This was someone who had been shoved into the production by a megastar. In the whole production team, only Lu Tian and the director knew that Megastar Huo Ci was the investor and had even promised to make guest appearances in two scenes as the Imperial Uncle. Only then had Old Wen agreed to let Huo Ci cast her in the production.

Could the megastar, like a 10,000-year-old iron tree in bloom, be fluttered in his heart? Could he have fallen in love? Judging from the look in his eyes when he looked at the young lady, he had to be!
