It wasn’t until today that Jiang Chen felt that the time had come, so he specifically asked Zheng Tian to tell Song Shi that he was already filming on set. Then, he asked Song Shi to visit him and take the opportunity to let Yuan Shu discover his identity.

Yuan Shu would definitely consider the big picture and wouldn’t give up on this movie just because of Jiang Chen’s identity. More importantly, this movie was far more important to Yuan Shu and Jiang Chen than the relationship between the two families.

After Yuan Shu recalled their interactions carefully, she knew that Jiang Chen was telling the truth, so she didn’t dwell on this issue.

Now that Yuan Shu thought about it, many things that had happened before could be explained by this. This was also why Jiang Chen had given her a carefully custom-made gown.

Although this gown caused an unnecessary misunderstanding, Yuan Shu still had to thank him out of politeness. “I have to thank you for this gown. It’s very beautiful and must be expensive. 1 don’t like to receive expensive gifts from others, so why don’t you choose something and I’ll give it to you in return?”

Jiang Chen looked a little hurt, and even his smile faded a little. “How did you know my identity? I’ve already become someone else to you. Yuan Shu, aren’t we friends?”

Yuan Shu didn’t know how to answer.

If not for the relationship between the Jiang family and the Shi family, Yuan Shu really hoped to be friends with Jiang Chen. Even though Jiang Chen had lied to her about his identity, and Yuan Shu hated being lied to the most, Yuan Shu still had a good impression of this friend of hers.

Yuan Shu thought that the person who could play “Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix” so beautifully must be a very understanding person and was worthy of Yuan Shu becoming friends with him.

Yuan Shu temporarily categorized Jiang Chen’s familiarity as a friendship. In this world, it was a pleasant surprise to meet a friend who was compatible with her in all aspects.

Jiang Chen looked at Yuan Shu with sincerity, hurt, and fear in his eyes. For a moment, he was indeed very afraid that after weighing the pros and cons, Yuan Shu would give up.

Jiang Chen smiled bitterly. What he admired and liked the most was Yuan Shu’s rationality and tenacity. Sometimes, he was afraid that she was too rational and tough. She would always withdraw in time and definitely wouldn’t be affected by emotions that she shouldn’t have.

When she treated her friends, she was absolutely sincere and attentive. She would never covet any benefits. When one became an enemy of hers, she definitely wouldn’t be soft-hearted and would never leave her back to someone who might backstab her at any time.

She could leave decisively, but he couldn’t.

He could never give up on Yuan Shu.

Hence, he said in a pleading tone, “Yuan Shu, no matter what, no matter what you think about the relationship between our families, I hope you can know that you’re an indispensable friend to me and the person I value the most.”

As Yuan Shu looked into Jiang Chen’s eyes, she felt a dull pain in her heart.

Every word he said seemed to hit her chest. For a moment, she felt so stuffy that she couldn’t breathe. Yuan Shu clenched her fists, and her nails dug into her palm, causing her to feel a sense of pain that sobered her.

For a moment, Yuan Shu’s vision turned black and her mind went blank. However, countless images seemed to flash past before disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Chen stared at Yuan Shu expectantly and his hands were also clenched tightly. He knew what Yuan Shu was going through at this moment. He also knew Yuan Shu’s inner struggle, but he could only watch nervously from the side.

After a few minutes, Yuan Shu gradually calmed down. Yuan Shu’s red lips parted slightly as she took a deep breath before exhaling. Only then did she feel more comfortable.

It was as if her heart had stopped and started beating again in an instant, but in the blink of an eye, the pain from before disappeared. Yuan Shu couldn’t even remember that feeling, it was like a short period of memory loss.

She hated the feeling of losing control in an instant. She hated everything that she couldn’t control, especially herself..
