Huo Zhenyang fastened his shirt buttons, rolled down his sleeves, then straightened up and tidied both their clothes.

His gaze shifted to the petite woman beside him, the heat in his eyes that had just subsided flared up again.

In the rear seat sofa.

Jiayi was lying quietly, her jet-black hair cascading down like a waterfall, coiling on her snow-white jade back, her delicate slim waist seemed as if it would break upon a pinch, her pert and full buttocks resembled a small hill.

Jiayi’s figure was petite and exquisite, her skeleton slender and appealing, yet her flesh was ample, not skeletal, not the kind of tall model-esque body, but one that could drive one to obsession.

At the moment, out of embarrassment and fatigue, the little one’s jade back trembled slightly, adding an extra touch of vulnerability.

Seeing her motionless for a long time, too lazy to even glance at him, Huo Zhenyang’s eyes narrowed, his anger that had subsided was now turning sour again.

He leaned his tall body over her, his hot breath closing in on her creamy smooth neck, his lips parted, deliberately waking her with wicked words, "Not getting up yet? Want to continue to another round?"

His breath warmed the tips of Jiayi’s ears, bringing back some semblance of consciousness, but she turned her face away, still too ashamed to look at him.

Previously after each encounter, she could hide her face with a blanket or a sheet, shielding her shame.

But today, in the car, she was bare, nothing to hide her disgrace.

However, after this time... she could continue the act.

Although the man was savage and domineering, he generally kept his word.

She let out a small sigh of relief.

Seeing her still silent, treating him as if he were air, Huo Zhenyang’s pride was greatly challenged, and he eventually grew somewhat indignant!

His handsome face flushed slightly with displeasure, he yanked her up from the seat forcibly!

The moment she met his gaze, she was like a wary little prey that saw its predator, and with a push, she hopped to the seat a few centimeters away from him, resting her cheek against the car window as if to look at the night sky.

His eyes iced over, flashing a thread of ruthlessness, his fingers lifted, forcibly turning her face and holding it up, "Heh, playing the ostrich after we’re done, got nothing to say?"

Having her face forcibly held, she could only look at his flawlessly handsome but cold and grim face, "Do you want me to speak the truth?"

Of course, the truth.

He stared at her cherry lips that he had just tasted, still as tender and delectable, never tiring even if he tasted them again.

This time, seemingly unafraid of offending him, she looked into his deep eyes and spoke her truth:

"This time, it was the last of the seven contracted sleepovers in the agreement, the debt from the Liang Family is settled, I am done with it. As for Su Yan’s large sum of surgery fees, I will try my best to repay you, hoping to leave here as soon as possible!"

The man’s fingertips touched her, the temperature turning cold, sliding slowly down her soft cheek.

Heh, seven times of accompanying sleep, said so calmly, professionally, from her lips.

And she even remembered the count so clearly, were these encounters truly like hellish torment for her every time?

"I’ll say it to you again," his words were chilling to the bone, "You can leave when I say you can. Our contract will never end until I tire of you."

Jiayi felt a sudden chill, involuntarily wrapping her arms around herself.

Huo Zhenyang had already growled:

"George, drive!"

The thunderous voice resonated out of the car, startling George and several bodyguards.

Especially George, who had been by the BOSS’s side for years, he surely knew such a tone meant the BOSS was truly angry.

————××————

After signing up that day and returning to Huo Garden, Jiayi hadn’t seen Huo Zhenyang for several days.

That man must have truly been angry, right?

She still remembered the silence between them on the way back to Huo Garden that night.

The coldness in the air was enough to freeze someone to death.

When they arrived at Huo Garden and stopped, he slammed the car door, got out first, and went straight into the villa, radiating an icy chill.

She followed a few meters behind him, silently walking in.

Meanwhile, the filming location for "Demon Slayer Chronicles" was set in Starlight Film City, next to G City.

Starlight Film City is a large filming base established by several major entertainment companies in the film industry.

Most domestic movies are filmed there.

Even many famous foreign directors shoot their movies with Eastern themes there.

At normal times, actors are supposed to live with the crew under closed management.

But Jiayi was neither a main character nor a resident student at G University, and most importantly, a certain man would never allow her to leave Huo Garden.

Therefore, Ye Yongning had arranged in advance that she would be notified to come to the set on the days she had scenes as the Taoist Nun, trying to avoid conflict with her main classes so as not to delay her studies.

After "Demon Slayer Chronicles" officially started filming, Jiayi began her life of shuttling between three points.

Every day from Huo Garden to the set at Starlight Film City, then to G University—as busy as she was, it was also fulfilling.

Before she knew it, the filming of "Demon Slayer Chronicles" was halfway through.

On the day when the Taoist Nun’s scenes were being filmed, Jiayi was taken to the set by George.

As usual, she got out of the car a distance away from Starlight Film City, where there were no people, and walked into the crew set.

How could a small, new actor have a luxury car and a driver to take to filming? So, as before, when she worked at JJ, Jiayi asked George to park the car a bit further away.

On her way to the crew, the staff were busy talking among themselves and no one greeted her; she quickly entered the filming area.

In the entertainment industry, if you’re not famous and lack powerful backing, and you’re merely a minor character in the movie, hardly anyone in such a glittering mega-production would take the initiative to connect with you. So, Jiayi was already accustomed to it.

In fact, since joining the crew, she had witnessed many incidents where actors of higher status bullied those of lower status.

Jiayi knew that if it weren’t for being a newcomer recommended by Ye Yongning, treated with a bit of respect, she couldn’t have avoided such bullying.

Upon entering the filming area, it wasn’t yet her turn for the scenes.

Jiayi found a corner in the spacious set and sat down, where several supporting actors had already gathered, waiting for their turns.

She sat in one of the ubiquitous beach chairs scattered around the set, took out the script, and prepared to look it over again.

She had only been reading for a short while when she heard the sound of footsteps and women’s teasing laughter, as well as several assistant directors’ flattering voices from not too far away.

"Why has Mr. Huo graced the set with his presence today?"

"You’re so clueless. Do I even need to say it? Of course, he’s here to visit Meiyi on set."

"Hehe, yes, indeed."
