Mu Zhou was obviously very concerned about their intertwined hands, but he forced a smile. His gaze was no longer gentle like before, but filled with hostility.

Mu Zhou and Shi Xiao’s gazes were like two sparks colliding in the air!

Shi Xiao looked smug. No matter how close and friendly Yuan Shu and Mu Zhou were, it was nothing in comparison to their husband-and-wife relationship.

Mu Zhou was defeated. “Shu, 1 think I left something in the dressing room. I’ll go back and get it. You guys can leave first. Goodbye.”

Yuan Shu nodded and waited until Mu Zhou was far away before pulling her hand out. Then, she walked out of the door as if nothing had happened.

After Shi Xiao looked at his empty palm, he followed her out.

After getting into the car, the chauffeur started the car and drove towards the villa. Shi Xiao leaned against the back of the car and looked at the scenery outside the window as he said aloofly, “Do you like filming very much?” “So-so.” Yuan Shu’s tone was very calm, so it was hard to tell if she liked it or not.

“You’ve never come into contact with the entertainment industry, so why are you suddenly filming this movie?”

Yuan Shu thought for a while before answering, “I’m very interested in the plot of this script.”

“Oh really? What kind of story is it?” Upon hearing Yuan Shu’s words, Shi Xiao became a little interested.

After Yuan Shu explained the story, Shi Xiao found it boring. It was just a very cliche television drama. With Yuan Shu’s personality, why would she be interested in such a cliche story?

However, Shi Xiao didn’t ask, and Yuan Shu didn’t continue this topic. She also looked out of the window. The railing in the middle of the road behind her turned into a white line that flashed past one after another, as if the rapidly disappearing time had suddenly taken shape.

After a long silence, Shi Xiao said, “There will be a small banquet in a few days.

I need you to attend it with me.”

Yuan Shu said in a very businesslike tone, “When exactly?”

“Three days later, bring Shi Yi along.”

“Okay.”

There was another long silence.

Speaking of Shi Yi, Yushu Buyi’s first season’s new product had received unanimous praise as soon as it was launched. Due to the marketing methods, the models’ outfits, in addition to Shi Yi’s outstanding performance at that fashion show, this season’s new products were sold out as soon as the pre-sales began.

Shi Yi could also have a short break to unwind.

The news of Yushu Buyi’s new product selling well only lasted for half an hour on the trending list, but Xu Zhi’s message came in time. “Congratulations, you received unanimous praise for the first large-scale launch of your design. Very impressive!”

Shi Yi read this message many times and analyzed every word’s tone. He wasn’t too friendly or too cold. Every word reflected his personality.

Shi Yi had mixed feelings.

She was happy that he actually saw the trending topic and immediately sent her a message, but she was also saddened about his current identity.

After all, Down Ridge Clothes Workshop was Yushu Buyi’s rival. As soon as Yushu Buyi launched the new product, Down Ridge Clothes Workshop began selling summer fashion products. With the two parties competing, it was hard to tell who would win and who would lose.

Ever since she found out that Xu Zhi had gone to Down Ridge Clothes Workshop, Shi Yi had not seen him for a long time, perhaps to avoid arousing suspicion. As the designers of different companies, meeting when new products were about to be released would affect their respective companies.

When she was busy designing clothes, she didn’t think much of it, but now that she was free, Shi Yi felt intense longing.

After calming down and thinking about it, Shi Yi finally admitted that she had fallen for this man who was serious and considerate, and knowledgeable about fashion.

Shi Yi had seen many boys since she was young. Her type had always been muscular men, but it was only when she met Xu Zhi that Shi Yi finally understood what liking someone was like..
