Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn-Chapter 44 - : 044 Who asked him?

Chapter 44: 044 Who asked him?

Seeing Shi Lan get up, Sun Ling initially wanted to approach, but Shi Lan waved her off, implying that it was better to let the makeup artist handle the cleanup rather than drying and wetting again.

Sun Ling withdrew the towel, revealing two mobile phones she was clutching in her hand.

Yan Shixiu glanced down and began to ask Sun Ling, “You also saw An Lan’s messages?”

Startled by the question, Sun Ling quickly turned around to answer, “No… no, Mr. Yan, I don’t look at An Lan’s private messages.”

Of course, she dared not admit she knew about Shi Lan and Yan Shixiu’s WeChat conversation.

“What were you talking about when I was messaging An Lan at noon yesterday?” Yan Shixiu clearly didn’t believe her.

Recalling the gossip she mentioned about Yan Shixiu and the wealthy woman, Sun Ling felt very guilty, but she dared not lie to Yan Shixiu because she always felt that the inscrutable man before her could see right through people, and if she lied, the consequences would be dire.

“That… we talked briefly about the trouble the Shi Family was giving you,” Sun Ling skillfully replied, thereby linking Shi Lan’s actions yesterday.

So, it was the issue with the Shi Family causing trouble that worked wonders−−making the Miss Shi feel less inclined to reject him?

Indeed, she, all nonchalant, left everything to him; apparently, Miss Shi wasn’t as confident as she had imagined.

However, Yan Shixiu had finally found a way to make Miss Shi unable to refuse.

Seeing no reaction from Yan Shixiu, Sun Ling only dared to sneak a peek at him. A mere gesture from Yan Shixiu was enough to terrify her: “That… Mr. Yan, we didn’t mean to gossip about your family matters purposefully.”

Mr. Yan placed his right hand back in his pocket, looked down at Sun Ling, and said, “Find time to work on your courage; otherwise, one heart may not be enough.”

Sun Ling: “…”

For some reason, Sun Ling found a sense of affirmation with Yan Shixiu, nodding incessantly−−in just a few short days, she felt as if she had gone through life and death.

“I’m leaving; tell her I will message her.”

“Okay, Mr. Yan, have a safe trip.” Sun Ling joyfully watched Yan Shixiu leave, completely unaware of how ambiguous the private communication between Yan Shixiu and Shi Lan actually was.

As Gu Chengyu adjusted, Shi Lan glanced towards the man, only to find that her seat next to him was already empty.

Seeing Shi Lan’s gaze, Sun Ling hurried over and said, “Mr. Yan left; he asked me to tell you that he will message you.”

Shi Lan: “…”

Who asked for his message?

And if you had to say it, why not keep your voice down and not let everyone around hear?

Director Tang was explaining the scene to Gu Chengyu, unphased to hear that Yan Shixiu would be messaging Shi Lan, as he already knew about the “collision and the collided” relationship between the two.

Yet Gu Chengyu felt extremely uncomfortable.

“Gu Chengyu, remember what I just told you; your rival on screen doesn’t allow for your sluggish entry into character. Let’s take it from the top.”

Gu Chengyu looked towards Shi Lan, who was flipping through the script. At that moment, the costume-changed Chen Beini had also arrived on set. Unaware of what had happened, she purposely hugged her boyfriend before the shoot began to encourage him: “Chengyu, you’re the best.”

Chen Beini wanted to provoke Shi Lan, yet there was no reaction from her.

“Come on, once again!” urged Director Tang.

“After we finish here, I have some gossip for you from the hotel,” Chen Beini whispered to Gu Chengyu, glancing towards Shi Lan.
