As Yuan Shu looked at Mu Zhou, her eyes were filled with disappointment. “You still haven’t figured out what the problem is! It’s never been about ranking. You’ve already made so many mistakes, but you’re still unwilling to change your ways.”

Agitated, Mu Zhou took two steps closer to Yuan Shu and grabbed her wrist. “1 didn’t do anything wrong! I did all of this just to get closer to you! You’re the daughter of a minister, and I’m just an orphan, so I can only get closer to you if I work hard.”

Yuan Shu broke free from his grasp. “I advise you not to make any more mistakes. The imperial edict has been issued and I’ve already made up my mind. I’m going to forget about you and marry him in peace.”

Shock and anguish flashed across Mu Zhou’s eyes before slowly dissipating as the director shouted, “Cut!”

His usual gentle smile returned as he watched the replay with Yuan Shu.

Mu Zhou said, “Sorry, 1 used a little too much force just now. Did I hurt you?”

Yuan Shu shook her head. “No, I’m fine.”

Although she said so, Yuan Shu’s face was obviously paler than before, and she felt a sense of powerlessness.

Mu Zhou was a little worried. “But you don’t look fine. Do you want to rest?”

Yuan Shu shook her head again and watched the replay seriously.

After watching the replay, Wang Shen said in satisfaction, “Good job. Prepare for the next scene.”

The next scene was for the other two actors, so Yuan Shu and Mu Zhou could go to the side and rest for a while.

As Yuan Shu and Mu Zhou walked side by side, she suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. Her steps were a little unsteady, and even Mu Zhou’s words became blurry. She couldn’t hear anything clearly.

When Yuan Shu looked at Mu Zhou and saw that he was getting more and more anxious, her body swayed a few times, and then right on the heels of that, she fell backward.

Mu Zhou reacted quickly. The moment Yuan Shu fell, he supported her and let her lean into his arms. Then, he carried her to the lounge right on the heels of that.

When Yuan Shu woke up, she heard someone shouting outside, “Take a rest. The eldest daughter of the Song family is here to visit. There’s milk tea for everyone!”

“You’re awake?”

Yuan Shu hurriedly sat up and saw that Mu Zhou was sitting not far away from her.

Seeing that she had gotten up so quickly, Mu Zhou immediately came over to support her. “You have low blood sugar, so you can’t get up so quickly. You have to take it slow.”

Yuan Shu nodded stiffly. Not only was she familiar with Mu Zhou, but she also felt as if she had been entangled with him for generations.

Seeing Yuan Shu frown, Mu Zhou couldn’t help but smile. “What are you thinking about? Why are you frowning?”

Before Yuan Shu could speak, there was a knock on the door. “Director Mu, Sister Yuan Shu, someone is here to visit. They brought snacks and milk tea. The two of you, come out and eat.”

Yuan Shu didn’t dwell on this matter anymore. She slowly sat up from the recliner and followed Mu Zhou out.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the set, they saw Song Shi standing on a small stool. After she searched around, her gaze finally stopped in Yuan Shu’s direction.

Yuan Shu frowned again. Why was it her again? Was she here to cause trouble again?

Song Shi had already gotten off the stool and ran towards them quickly. Then, she stood in front of the two of them. However, this time, she didn’t look at Yuan Shu at all. Instead, she was focused on Mu Zhou.

She was very beautiful to begin with, and when she smiled, she was especially charming. She said to Mu Zhou, “Jiang Chen, why have you been ignoring me for so many days? I’m no longer angry with you!”

Jiang Chen?!

Yuan Shu, who was beside Mu Zhou, was shocked. Therefore, the mysterious young master of the Jiang family, Jiang Chen, who Yuan Shu and Shi Xiao had been guessing about, was actually Mu Zhou!

Yuan Shu looked at him in shock. She couldn’t accept this fact no matter what. She remembered that Mu Zhou was quite shy and introverted. How could he be Jiang Chen?

Mu Zhou ignored Song Shi. As if he had expected this, he turned to look at Yuan Shu and smiled exceptionally gently. “Yuan Shu, long time no see..”
