Lu Zhao paused. Since Luo Ying was behaving like a spoiled brat, he was unable to probe the situation any further. “I know.”

Even with foundation, Luo Ying’s dark circles were not hidden from Lu Zhao’s view. A few days ago, Luo Ying mentioned how exhausted she was from filming so many scenes recently. Lu Zhao finally gave up and stopped bothering her.

Luo Ying clasped his hand with delight. “Then I’ll go take a shower first. Zhenzhen is throwing a party tonight with a barbecue. Do you want to go with me?” She worried that Lu Zhao would not be able to appreciate a “pedestrian” roadside stall like this one.

“Obviously, as your new assistant, I will follow you around,” Lu Zhao said.

“Assistant?!” Luo Ying’s eyes widened in surprise.

Lu Zhao smiled. “Yes, the new Assistant Lu.”

The timing could not be any better. On the one hand, he had set up a trap and needed an opportunity to “leave”. Before he could begin his investigation of the real estate project, he had to wait for the mole in the group to reveal himself.

On the other hand, he had been longing to see Luo Ying and used the scandal as an excuse to pay her a visit.

Lu Zhao decided that it was not the right time for him and Luo Ying to make their reconciliation public, so he had to makedo pretending to be Luo Ying’s assistant for a while.

Luo Ying and her extraordinary-tempered “new bodyguard cum assistant” were invited to the barbecue dinner.

Zhang Yue quietly accompanied them and cast a sympathetic glance Wang Yu’s way.

Wang Yu’s expression was a mix of sighing and happiness. She sighed because her assistant role had been taken away by the company’s top executive, but her job was no less taxing.

But before Lu Zhao even arrived, he had already set up a private kitchen to upgrade the quality of the meals. The private kitchen was a significant improvement over the set’s lunch boxes.

The crew took three or four of the restaurant’s small tables up. Since this was not a formal event, people were just standing around chatting with one another.

Lu Zhao stood up and went to get some food for Luo Ying. Even among the other actors and celebrities, his stature stood out.

“Yingying, look at your assistant… Did he have to go to a top business school to get an NBA?” Cheng Zhen sat beside Luo Ying, holding a skewer of beef. She unscrupulously leaned close to Luo Ying’s ear and teased her.

Despite the fact that Cheng Zhen’s family was not involved in commerce, she was still a member of high society and had encountered Lu Zhao at a social event. Wouldn’t she recognize him?

Luo Ying had introduced him as her bodyguard and assistant. She could fool Su Li and the others, but she could not fool her.

“What do you mean NBA? Which business school gets you into basketball?

Yeah, you have to study for an NBA. You have to be tall, good-looking, and have the surname Lu.”Luo Ying glanced at her helplessly and smiled as she imitated

Cheng Zhen’s tone. “Zhenzhen, if you like the food, just shut up and eat!” The two of them burst into hacking fits of laughter.

“Are you alright?” Yan Xin had not heard their conversation. He worriedly passed a glass of water. “Drink some water.”

“Thank you, thank you. I’m fine.” Cheng Zhen waved her hand and took the water.

Luo Ying took her turn to tease Cheng Zhen. “Forget about me. You’ve got bigger problems than me, don’t you?

Her eyes darted to the neighboring table. Yan Xin was chatting with Su Li and

Chen Yue, but his eyes never quite left Cheng Zhen. He had even noticed Cheng Zhen’s laughing fit.

But what really threw Luo Ying off was that Cheng Zhen actually accepted Yan Xin’s flowers. But when Luo Ying questioned Yan Xin about it later, he denied that they were dating.

“Oh.” Cheng Zhen raised her eyebrows. “I don’t know what to do either.”

Cheng Zhen had the appearance and temperament of a classic gentle beauty, but she was feisty at heart.

She had anticipated that Yan Xin, who had fallen in love with her at first sight, would back away once he realized how different she actually was.

To Cheng Zhen’s surprise, although Yan Xin could write such a genteel love letter, he was actually a very interesting person. Yan Xin was not only able to get along with her, but he also liked her personality.

Already, in just a few days on set, she and Yan Xin had discovered that they shared a passion for many of the same authors, films, and games.

Cheng Zhen had intended to handle the situation coldly, but instead spent the next day chatting happily with Yan Xin until late in the evening.

It was like an arrow of idealism from Cupid had struck them both.

Never in Cheng Zhen’s wildest dreams did she think she would meet someone like this. She found that they shared many interests and had similar personalities. Furthermore, the other individual was still openly and enthusiastically in love with her.

If Cheng Zhen said she did not think highly of Yan Xin, she would be fibbing.

Lu Zhao returned with a heaping plate of grilled meat. He sat himself down in front of Luo Ying on the table. Since Luo Ying hurt her hand, Lu Zhao took care of peeling the meat off the skewers.

“But our families will never agree to this.” Cheng Zhen looked at the two of them enviously..
