Just as Chi Yaoxi was frightened and at a loss, she suddenly heard little Chenchen’s childish voice from outside the door. “Mommy, Mommy open the door!” Chi Yaoxi widened her eyes in shock and disbelief.

She quickly opened the door, the little fella pounced on her and hugged her leg. He pouted and asked with a smile, “Mommy, did you miss me?”

Chi Yaoxi nodded as she looked around nervously. There was no one outside. She grabbed the little guy in her arms, closed the door, and walked inside.

When filming with a woman like Mo Yuzhen, one had to be especially careful and be on guard at all times. She wondered if that woman would find someone to watch her from the side since she liked to play dirty tricks behind people’s backs.

Just as she carried the little fellow to the sofa and the two of them had yet to sit down, there was another knock on the door. Chi Yaoxi was stunned. Who was this?

She immediately placed the little fellow on the sofa and blinked at him. She extended her index finger to make a “shh” gesture, indicating for him not to make a sound, and then pointed at the door.

Little Chenchen blinked at his mother and nodded vigorously.

Chi Yaoxi tiptoed to the door and looked out through the peephole. She saw Song Ming, who was playing the male lead in the same production team, standing there in formal attire. “It’s already so late. What’s the matter?”

Song Ming was a little excited when he heard Chi Yaoxi’s question through the door. He had just gone downstairs to look for her, and the attendant was right. She had indeed changed to a VIP room.

Chi Yaoxi was an outstanding actress and a popular celebrity with a lot of experience. She was at the height of her popularity in the film industry and was also one of the candidates for this year’s Best Actress Award. If he could get involved with her, just the scandal would make him popular.

Song Ming didn’t want to let go of this rare opportunity. He said politely and ingratiatingly, “Miss Chi, I’m Song Ming. I brought the script over. This is our first collaboration, and I want to rehearse the lines beforehand.”

Rehearse? It was late at night and the little guy was still inside. It was not convenient to open the door, let alone rehearse. Chi Yaoxi felt a little awkward and frowned unhappily. “It’s too late. We should rehearse next time.”

Song Ming knew that these famous actors were not easy to talk to. “Ms. Chi, there’s not much content. Open the door and let me in. It’ll be done in less than half an hour.”

When Chi Yaoxi heard this, she was a bit angry. She had just rejected him. Did he still not understand? She raised her voice again and rejected him even more seriously. “We can talk about work during working hours. It’s break time now!” Why was this person so tactless! She had already rejected him, yet he was still pestering her outside.

Chi Yaoxi saw that Song Ming still had no intention of leaving and was annoyed by him. She called her manager, Sister Ming.

Sister Ming came up quickly and chased him away.

Song Ming was very disappointed. His scheme had failed and he was being despised. He could only walk to his room at the end of the corridor.

The door to Mo Yuzhen’s room was open. Song Ming’s every move was seen by her, and her jealousy towards Chi Yaoxi increased.

Hmph! This b*tch is always trying to steal the limelight no matter where she goes! She’s clearly a supporting role, yet she actually switched to the VIP room upstairs, one level higher than her room.

Also, Song Ming was a shameless man. He was originally the male lead, but he had taken the initiative to look for the second female lead. He wanted to take advantage of her and get involved with her. How useless.
