Looking at the takeout that filled the largest conference table in the hall, Fang

Xi muttered, “I have the feeling that’s exactly what you’re doing.”

Yun Nan was also shocked by the scene. Shi Xiu immediately perked up when she heard it was her second brother who had sent them the food, and went forward to help distribute it, saying, “That’s very kind of my brother! I’ll have to thank him later. Everyone, please help yourself. Have a bite! You’ve all worked hard, so you should enjoy a well-deserved break.”

Fang Xi stared at her and asked Yun Nan, “And who’s the little lady over there?” Yun Nan quickly called Shi Xiu over and introduced Fang Xi to her. “This is my best friend, Fang Xi.”

Shi Xiu beat Yun Nan to the punch and introduced herself. “Hello! I’m Shi

Nian’s sister and Yun Nan’s sister-in-law, Shi Xiu. I’m currently learning under

Director Mika. It’s nice to meet you, Fang Xi!”

Shi Xiu suddenly bowed at Fang Xi, startling the woman. Fang Xi hurriedly pulled her up and praised, “Well, aren’t you a beauty? I’m sure Mika felt like he’d found a gem when he met you.”

Shi Xiu was a little embarrassed by that. Yun Nan laughed and told Fang Xi, ‘You really should give him a stern talking to. He’s too bold! Did you know not only did he manage to persuade Shi Xiu to join the cast, but he also took a shine to Shi Nian?”

“He wanted Shi Nian in the movie?” Fang Xi was stunned at Mika’s idea. Yun Nan nodded and commented, “You know how he gets around good-looking people.”

However, Fang Xi remarked, “It’s not a bad idea. You know what—Mika’s right.

As your husband, he has to be willing to go to the ends of the earth for you. Isn’t that right, Shi Xiu?”

Shi Xiu nodded furiously in agreement and stated, “Don’t worry, Fang Xi. My brother is at your disposal as long as Yun Nan is around.”

Fang Xi froze. She then turned to stare at Yun Nan, who could read the silent question in her eyes: ‘ What did she mean by that?

Yun Nan smiled but didn’t give her an answer. She pulled Shi Xiu towards her and said, “I’ve asked her brother, and he doesn’t object to her having an acting career.”

“What about her parents? Is she of age?” Fang Xi asked, worried.

“Yes! Yes, I am. Fang Xi, I’m twenty years old. My parents and grandfather know that I’m working with Yun Nan, so they’re not worried at all.”

Fang Xi was speechless and shook her head at Yun Nan. “It seems your marriage does have its perks; it got us a new actress.”

Only Fang Xi knew the truth about her marriage. Yun Nan knew she was worried about her, so she smiled and quipped, “Relax, Fang Xi! You worry too much. Forget about all the unpleasant things. We’ve all been waiting for you to return and run the show!”

Fang Xi let out a long sigh. ‘My work never ends,” she groaned. Shi Xiu stuffed a box of grilled eel on rice and a box of vegetable salad into her hands and smilingly urged, “Have some, Fang Xi!”

Fang Xi looked at the food in her hands and spoke to Shi Xiu, “You can call me your sister if you want.”

Shi Xiu’s slightly uneasy heart finally calmed at Fang Xi’s welcoming attitude.

She looped her arm around Fang Xi’s and happily accepted the offer. “That’ll be awesome! I’m your little sister from now on.”

“*Tsk!* You little sweet talker! I bet you’ll have Mika head over heels in no time,” Fang Xi murmured. Even she wasn’t immune to this cute little girl.

Everyone sang Shi Nian’s praises during lunchtime, and Yun Nan sent him a WeChat message to express her gratitude. Shi Nian promptly replied, “You stayed up all night yesterday. You should go home early today and get some rest. Don’t tire yourself out.”

Yun Nan dazedly stared at her WeChat window and had an indescribable feeling. Although it was just a text message, she could feel Shi Nian’s concern from the words. It was a kind of concern that surpassed their collaborative relationship and was closer to the concern shown between a couple or a husband and wife.

Yun Nan broke out in goosebumps and rubbed her arms. ‘Honestly, what is up with me? What’s with these ridiculous thoughts? She quickly shook her head and tried her best to banish them. She decided she would cook a delicious meal for Shi Nian when she got home in return for his consideration as well as their lunch today. She didn’t want to owe him too much.

Liang Han’s eyes widened as he looked at the pictures and papers that Shi Nian had sent him. He instantly called him and asked, “Shi Nian, y-you, you’re serious about this girl?”

“Yes,” was his simple and brief answer.

“Who is she? When can we meet her? Now I’m really curious. Oh, and have you decided on a strategy? Did you plan this for a long time? Buddy, are you really serious about her?”

“Yes,” Shi Nian repeated; even his tone stayed the same.

Don’t give me that! Aren’t we brothers? Why are you being so mysterious? Stop keeping me in suspense, or I might not help you anymore,” Liang Han both begged and threatened.

“I can always ask someone else to help me,” Shi Nian delivered the checkmate..
