“But now, I really envy you. Can you understand my feeling of watching idol dramas every day?”

Liang Xinran smiled. “Alright, I’ll treat you to milk tea and hotpot. I’ll let you experience the feeling of being doted on by the female lead of an idol drama, alright?”

“Come on, get me some milk tea!” Her manager held out her hand.

Liang Xinran patted her palm.

Her manager laughed, turned on her phone, and said, “Look, it’s number one on the hot search list. A lot of people are apologizing to you. There are also a lot of people who are scolding Lihuan Ruoyi and saying that she’s a sh*t stirrer who actually got involved in Kuang Bo’s mess. And that Kuang Bo, I heard that the new crew he’s in is already investigating his sexual harassment of female employees. They’ve already called the police. He’s in trouble too.”

When Liang Xinran heard this, she was very calm. Her mind was filled with Gu Jingyuan’s handsome appearance.

As long as she thought of this, if these hardships were exchanged for Gu Jingyuan, she felt that she had really profited.

Seeing her expression, her manager knew that she was infatuated again. She said, “Alright, alright. Continue thinking about Doctor Gu. I’ll reply to one or two fans so that they can feel at ease.”

Eight hours later, her manager was asleep beside her.

However, Liang Xinran was still holding on. When she saw the lights in the operating theater go out, she immediately stood up.

Her manager agent woke with a start. “What is it? Is it morning?”

Liang Xinran ran towards Gu Jingyuan with warm milk in her hand.

After eight hours of surgery, his eyes were tired. When he saw the girl running over, he smiled.

He took off his mask and said, “Don’t come any closer. I still smell like blood.”

Liang Xinran refused to listen and hugged him.

Gu Jingyuan raised his bloody hands and tried his best not to touch her.

The nurses and the other doctors burst out laughing.

‘Right, milk, drink it quickly. You must be hungry?’

Liang Xinran inserted the straw and handed it to Gu Jingyuan.

Gu Jingyuan drank in large gulps. Indeed, continuous surgeries tested one’s physical strength and willpower.

He was so hungry that he had gone numb. The warm milk gently awakened his sense of hunger in his stomach.

“It’s delicious.” Gu Jingyuan had never drunk such sweet milk.

Liang Xinran held it up until he finished drinking.

Gu Jingyuan said softly, “I’ll go eat something after I take a shower.”

“I’ll wait for you.”

Her manager ran over and turned around to look at Liang Xinran. “So how’s that Yuan Zhihui? Was the surgery successful?”

“Oh, I forgot to ask.”

Her manager: “…”

Her phone dinged and she received a big red packet from Liang Xinran.

“This is?”

“To treat you to hot pot and milk tea. Enough for dozens of friends. Now go.”

Her manager: “…”

Her manager: “You guys want to spend some quality time together, so you ditch me? Boohoo.”

Her manager: “Next time something like this happens, please remember to call me. I hate being a third wheel! I’ll definitely make room for you!”

Her manager accepted the red packet and ran away happily.

After Gu Jingyuan finished showering and changed into casual clothes, Liang Xinran asked, “So how’s Director Yuan’s son?”

“The surgery was a success. At least it won’t be a problem for the next twenty years. He’ll be safe and sound.”

“How impressive, Doctor Gu!”

Gu Jingyuan looked at her face that was still glowing after staying up for eight hours and said softly, “Are you tired? Go back and rest after eating.”

“I’m not tired at all. I’ve been sleeping before.”

Actually, she did not sleep for a second. Her manager was the only one sleeping the entire time.

Gu Jingyuan believed her for now and held her hand. “Let’s go eat.”

***

When Liang Xinran returned to the set, she was warmly welcomed by everyone.

She was usually carefree and easy to get along with. Most of the crew had a very good impression of her.

Besides, many people had eaten the various fruits that she had brought to the production team. No one could hate such a girl.

The director walked over and said with a smile, “Xinran, get ready. We’re going to begin filming.”

“Alright, I’ll go get my makeup done now,” Liang Xinran agreed.

Her manager brought over a fruit bowl and ushered everyone to come and eat.

Ren Xijie and his manager also came.

As soon as he arrived, he was summoned to Producer Fang’s office.

Yao Jiahong also called Shi Jin.

“What do we do about Ren Xijie?” Yao Jiahong asked.

“Switch him out,” Shi Jin said crisply. “What kind of person is Liang Xinran? He acted like that without even confirming anything? If he runs into my gun, I have no choice. I have to protect my friends.”

Yao Jiahong smiled. “Sure, I’ll talk to Producer Fang.”

“It’s time for him to realize his mistake. He should ask himself, this attitude towards Liang Xinran, this attitude towards the production team, is because he really dislikes this matter of doing drugs? Is it really because he’s a law-abiding good citizen who has a firm resistance to such things? He knows his own selfishness!” Shi Jin’s tone suddenly turned stern.

Yao Jiahong knew that Shi Jin really could see through everything.

These people could only lie to themselves and use a cover for the outside world with dignified excuses.

When Ren Xijie arrived at Producer Fang’s office, his attitude was very good. “Producer Fang, I’m so sorry. I was a little busy two days ago, and I wanted to give the fans a positive lead, so I didn’t come over to film. From today onwards, I’ll work overtime to complete my scenes and listen to the production team’s arrangements at any time! I’ll also express my deep apologies to Liang Xinran!”

His manner was devout. It was obvious that he took this show very seriously.

Producer Fang’s expression was unreadable.

He was also apologetic. “Oh, Xijie, we chose you to be the male lead. All of us still think highly of you, but you’ve delayed so much work these past few days that it’s caused a huge problem with the entire crew. To be honest…”

Ren Xijie knew that Producer Fang had to show a strict attitude. Otherwise, it would be difficult to manage others in the future.

His manner was even more sincere. “It was my problem. I apologize sincerely.”

“I accept your apology, and the investors behind it have always ignored these things. However, after this intervention, they were very critical when they heard that our work had been affected by you for several days.”

“Well isn’t it because of Liang Xinran…”

“Liang Xinran was trapped in the vortex of public opinion and yet hasn’t missed a single scene a day. You missed five days!”

“I apologize, I apologize.” What choice did Ren Xijie have?

Liang Xinran’s matter had already proven her innocence, so he could only give in.
