Chapter 211 seems to have misunderstood her.
"Everyone is saying that you and the male lead named Xiao Ze are a couple. Is that really true?"
Jasmine asked Chu Xinglan mysteriously.
"No, how could we be a couple? I'm already married," Chu Xinglan denied with a smile.
"Really? You're already married?" Jasmine was a little incredulous.
"It's true." Chu Xinglan raised the ring on her hand.
"Wow, that's huge! Your husband must be very rich," Jasmine exclaimed in surprise.
"Money doesn't matter, it's just that she really loves me." Chu Xinglan couldn't help but smile happily when she talked about Gu Ye.
"If that's the case, why would your husband let you go out and act?" Jasmine asked again.
"It was my personal decision to act," Chu Xinglan replied.
“But I feel that Xiao Ze looks at you differently, and you don’t shy away from each other at all. Doesn’t your husband really mind?” Jasmine asked again.
Chu Xinglan glanced at Jasmine, who looked like a curious child, and said nonchalantly, "We are upright and honest, and our interactions are all aboveboard. Why would my husband mind? Only insecure couples are suspicious. Our relationship is unbreakable."
"Is that so? It seems I was overthinking it." Jasmine smiled as well.
Chu Xinglan stopped talking. She stood next to Director Huang, bending down to look at Xiao Ze, who was filming under the camera.
"I'm going to the restroom," Jasmine said, turning and leaving.
Chu Xinglan straightened up, looking in the direction Jasmine had left, and thought to herself: Who exactly are you?
Chu Xinglan was no longer the naive and innocent girl she once was. She believed that encounters between people were not accidental, let alone how she and this woman named Jasmine could be so destined to meet. They met once during the audition, and it just so happened that she was the one selected by Director Huang. Moreover, this Jasmine seemed to have a more enthusiastic attitude towards her than anyone else.
Wasn't her elaborate approach to him partly motivated by ulterior motives?
"Xinglan, what do you think of this?" Director Huang patted Chu Xinglan's arm.
Chu Xinglan snapped out of her daze and bent down to take another look.
"This one is good."
"Then keep this picture and cut the rest out." Director Huang said, standing up and addressing all the actors, "Everyone has worked hard, take a break for now."
Hearing Director Huang's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The sun was very strong, and everyone was almost unbearably hot. Now that they could finally rest, they quickly hid in the shade.
Xiao Ze wiped the sweat from his forehead, but still walked towards Chu Xinglan with great interest. He took the parasol from his assistant and personally shaded Chu Xinglan from the sun.
"Are you tired?" Xiao Ze asked her. Actually, he was the one who should say he was tired, but he still cared whether Chu Xinglan was tired or not.
Chu Xinglan looked around at the people. Although they were upright and honest, it was never good to cause misunderstandings.
She gently pushed away the umbrella that Xiao Ze was holding out to her.
"Stay away from me from now on."
"What's wrong?" Xiao Ze asked, somewhat amused.
"Everyone misunderstands our relationship. I don't want to be involved in rumors before I even become famous." Chu Xinglan looked very serious.
"Let it spread, what's there to be afraid of?" Xiao Ze said indifferently.
Chu Xinglan glared at him fiercely.
Xiao Ze then stopped smiling.
"No, if I don't take good care of you, my senior will definitely blame me. Where will I go to complain then?"
Xiao Ze looked helpless.
"Fine, fine!" Chu Xinglan put him in a difficult position.
Indeed, if Gu Ye causes trouble for Xiao Ze because he didn't take good care of her, then she would also be a sinner.
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Ze held the umbrella over Chu Xinglan again.
Where should we go for dinner tonight?
"I'm going home tonight," Chu Xinglan said bluntly.
"It's 300 kilometers from where you live. Are you sure you want to go back?" Xiao Ze asked in surprise.
"There's nothing I can do. Gu Ye came to pick me up personally, and I didn't want him to go through all that trouble, but he just wouldn't listen," Chu Xinglan said helplessly.
"For something like that, senior really went to great lengths." Xiao Ze shook his head with a click of his tongue.
"Is this something to be taken lightly? This is about the deep love between husband and wife," Chu Xinglan said irritably.
"Isn't that the same old thing?!" Xiao Ze retorted.
Just then, Jasmine walked over. She hadn't heard anything coherent, so she asked curiously, "What about that?"
Xiao Ze and Chu Xinglan suddenly shut their mouths.
It's best if they know about this; it shouldn't be made public.
"What's wrong? You guys are acting strange?" Jasmine looked at them, puzzled.
"It's nothing," Chu Xinglan said casually.
"I'm having a big dinner by myself tonight, it's boring." Xiao Ze said, handing the parasol to his assistant before leaving.
Not only was Jasmine clueless, but the assistant standing nearby also failed to understand what they were saying.
"Xinglan, shall we go out for a meal together after we finish work?" Jasmine asked, pulling Chu Xinglan aside.
"No, I have plans tonight," Chu Xinglan refused.
"Alright then," Jasmine said, somewhat disappointed.
Chu Xinglan, who was originally planning to leave, thought for a moment and said, "Then let's have a cup of milk tea together."
“Great!” Jasmine said happily. “See you later.”
Jasmine said she needed to prepare for the next scene.
Chu Xinglan watched Jasmine's departing figure and fell into deep thought once again.
It's unclear when her true colors will be revealed, but if she's not given the chance, she'll likely hide them even more deeply.
After finishing work, Chu Xinglan and Jasmine really went to a milk tea shop.
Chu Xinglan ordered a glass of water. She gave it to Jasmine because she didn't like drinks and only preferred plain water.
She absolutely could not reveal her pregnancy to people she didn't know well.
Jasmine didn't say anything more about it.
Everything was normal, nothing seemed amiss. Jasmine remained gentle and considerate throughout. In the end, they left the milk tea shop together, ready to go their separate ways.
"Where are you going? I'll take you there." Jasmine asked Chu Xinglan from the entrance of the milk tea shop.
"No, my husband will come to pick me up in a little while."
As Chu Xinglan said this, she paid special attention to the changes in Jasmine's expression.
"Really? My boyfriend is coming to pick me up too."
Chu Xinglan didn't notice anything on her face, and Jasmine spoke with a smile.
Her face seemed to light up when she heard about her boyfriend.
So the two of them stood together at the entrance of the milk tea shop and waited for a while.
Not long after, a car drove up and stopped in front of them.
"My boyfriend is here," Jasmine said to Chu Xinglan with a smile.
Then a refined-looking man got out of the car. He smiled and walked towards Jasmine, calling her name affectionately: "Jlismine, I've come to pick you up."
"Xinglan, this is my boyfriend, his name is Paul. Paul, this is my new friend, her name is Xinglan."
"Hello."
Chu Xinglan and Paul looked out for each other.
"Lily, get in the car."
Paul opened the car door for Jasmine, called her affectionately, and then politely gestured to Chu Xinglan again as she got in.
