Demons Beside You

Chapter 479: Princess’s Reciprocation

“When will the police come?”

“Don’t wait for them. They’ll never be here,” Chen Zhao’s mother said. “If you’re tired, I’ll ask someone to send you back.”

“No need.” Chen Zhao shook his head. “My car is in the garage downstairs… You sure I don’t have to stay to make some recordings?”

“Nope. You shouldn’t be involved in the first place.”

“Business competition?”

“Kind of.”

“Then I’m leaving now.” Chen Zhao took in a deep breath and left.

When he returned home, it was already past midnight.

Chen Zhao jumped into Mirror Lake directly, enjoying a rare moment of peace.

When he returned to the lakeside, he realized that Fali was already there.

“Fali, how come you’re awake?”

“The AI informed me,” Fali said. “I thought you wouldn’t be coming home today.”

Chen Zhao climbed out of the lake and Fali wrapped a towel around him.

“I didn’t even know you have a sister.”

“It’s also my first time seeing her,” Chen Zhao said.

“When will you bring me to meet her?”

“She has a troublesome illness. So I don’t think I should bring anyone to her,” Chen Zhao said.

“Even you can’t cure her?”

“Not sure. I have to do some research.”

Fali did not ask further. From Chen Zhao’s attitude, she could roughly tell that there was a problem between him and his family.

That night, Chen Zhao did not touch Fali, which was an uncommon sight.

Chen Zhao had an extremely good sleep.

The next day, he restored his normal state.

In Fali’s opinion, Chen Zhao had really good self-adjustment.

“Fali, don’t go to work today. Follow me to Geya Island.”

“Let me call Robio. I’m not sure if he’ll say yes.”

“If he says no, I’ll never let Walter go to the Rescue Team again.”

After a call, Fali gave Chen Zhao a positive reply with a smile.

The two boarded the newly rented speedboat and headed for Geya Island.

Compared to Chen Zhao, Fali was more used to the wind and waves on the sea.

Today, Fali had a plain white dress and a sombrero.

The wind was so strong that she had to hold the sombrero in place.

Her delicate hair swung in the air, which made her more attractive.

Chen Zhao could not help but hold Fali’s hand and rub it gently.

“Chen, look in front of you, or the speedboat is gonna be stranded.”

When they reached the temporary dock, Chen Zhao realized that it had been widened.

Steven must have received a significant amount of budget.

In the distance, a twenty-year-old man saw Fali and licked his lips uncontrollably.

“That woman’s really pretty. Is she a crew member too?”

The crew member beside him glanced at him and said, “Mr. Valentin, you’ve just become the lead today. Try not to learn from the previous lead Libel who not only lost his job but also doesn’t even dare to leave his house now.”

Valentin was stunned. “Who’s the guy beside that woman?”

“He’s Mr. Steven’s friend. Libel’s reputation is ruined precisely because he offended that man. Please think carefully before attempting to make trouble with him.”

Valentin understood everything at once, even though the staff beside him had stopped talking.

He would not be as foolish as Libel. In fact, he knew Libel’s current state very well.

To be honest, he should thank Chen Zhao.

If Chen Zhao and Libel did not have the conflict, and if Libel was not blinded by his rage, Valentin would not be here.

“Chen, you’re late again!” Steven ran toward Chen Zhao, unhappy. However, when he saw Fali, he smiled at once. “You must be Ms. Fali Jonson. Can you please tell me what tricks this asshole used to chase you? I need to learn all of them.”

Chen Zhao clenched his fist so tightly that a bone-cracking sound could be heard, while Fali smiled gently.

“He’s locked all the tricks in a safe. Mr. Steven, I hope my presence will not affect the filming.”

“Can’t you see that all the bastards here are looking at us?” Steven looked at the crew members. “Hey, this lady’s taken. Open your eyes before I throw you into Mariana Trench!”

Steven was actually targeting a few specific people in the team.

Having worked in Hollywood for so long, he knew the interests of many people.

He would not care what those people had done in their lives.

But if they were in his team, he had to warn them.

Valentin withdrew his stare. While he was disappointed that such a beautiful lady did not belong to him, he knew his priorities.

His career was clearly more important than a single lady.

Valentin approached Chen Zhao and Fali to greet them, and he was very polite.

Soon, the actual filming began. Lucy was there too.

In her free time, she came to say hi to Fali.

As the two chatted casually with each other, they became a hotspot on the island.

After having lunch, Chen Zhao and Fali bid goodbye to Steven.

Steven had planned to film all the scenes with Amon in the first few days.

By the sixth day, it was more or less done.

Of course, if any scenes were added, Steven would still need Amon’s help.

Chen Zhao agreed to this immediately. After all, Steven was his old friend.

…

When Gaia arrived at Chen Zhao’s house, Chen Zhao was asleep on a sun lounger with a sun hat on his face.

“Chen!” Gaia was a loud person. Chen Zhao almost thought it was thunder.

“Ah…” Chen Zhao nearly fell on the ground. “Gaia, why are you so early? Where’s Tiger?”

“I ran here. Took less time than I thought,” Gaia said. “Tiger probably needs another hour.”

“Ran here? From your fitness center?”

“Yup.”

“That’s about sixty kilometers, right?”

“It’s easier than I thought.”

“Would you like to have something to drink?”

“Water please.”

“Alright. I’ll get it for you.”

Just as Chen Zhao left, Princess strolled toward Gaia.

“Princess, come.” Gaia took out a piece of wax paper containing some sliced meat. She had salted them herself.

In the past few days, she would always bring some for Princess.

Princess had enjoyed the meat greatly every day.

But today, Princess opened her mouth and a piece of sliced meat fell onto Gaia’s hand.

The meat even had some of her saliva on it. Gaia was stunned.

“You’re… offering this to me?” Gaia did not know to cry or laugh.

Every day, she had been feeding Princess. Now, Princess was trying to return the favor.

Gaia looked at the piece of meat. Although it had some saliva on it, she still put the meat in her mouth, after which she rubbed Princess’s head.
