She raised her brows. “Of course, I know that you and Lin Che have slept together. Furthermore, you weren’t in your room last night. Were you also with her?”

Gu Jingze smirked slightly. “You guys know quite a lot.”

“Of course I know. It’s Lin Che we’re talking about. Who wouldn’t vie for her?” Xiao Qiangwei said confidently. “Also, she is indeed a superstar. She’s capable and rich too. We can understand why you’d want to be with her.”

Gu Jingze smiled plainly as he stood there and looked at Xiao Qiangwei.

Alright, since when did he have to vie for his wife?

But he wasn’t angry. The thought of him depending on his wife. That would be an interesting life.

Xiao Qiangwei looked at Gu Jingze, thinking that he seemed to maintain a kind of fascinating gaze. The more one looked at him, the more one would like him. That face looked good from afar and up close. Seriously. How could he be so beautiful? No wonder even Lin Che could not hold back. She openly made plenty of exceptions all for him alone.

Xiao Qiangwei asked, “But won’t you get sick of serving her every day?”

Gu Jingze’s gaze fell coldly on her. He remained silent as if waiting for her to continue.

Xiao Qiangwei asked, “Do you want a change of flavor?”

Gu Jingze continued looking at her.

Xiao Qiangwei scratched her head coyly and gazed longingly at him.

But just then, Gu Jingze suddenly shut the door…

“Ouch…” The door hit Xiao Qiangwei in the nose, making her exclaim in pain.

“You… Zhou Yu, you dare to do this? Hmph. I was nice to give you a chance but you blew it. I am a person of status. Fine, you actually dare…” Xiao Qiangwei shouted but when she sensed people walking by behind, she quickly rubbed her nose and walked away grumbling.

However, things like this could never be hidden within the crew.

The next day, word about this got out.

Many people knew that Xiao Qiangwei tried to seduce the newcomer but got rejected. She shouted at the door for a good duration before she finally left.

Most of the people in the circle knew about Xiao Qiangwei. She and her husband have long been uneasy bedfellows, but they lived amicably. They were free to hook up outside and there were no responsibilities. Her husband was rather rich. For the sake of dignity, she did not divorce him.

Xiao Qiangwei hooked up with others frequently. This time, she actually fell in the hands of a newcomer and it was interesting to outsiders.

Everyone could not help but laugh when they saw Xiao Qiangwei walk past.

“Look, that’s her. She was the one shouting in the corridor last night. We all heard it.”

“Doesn’t she have hookups frequently? She actually got rejected this time.”

“But the guy has Lin Che already. Of course, he wouldn’t be interested in her.”

“Lin Che is so famous that he wouldn’t let go. Why would he dare to fool around with other artists in the crew?”

“Furthermore, Xiao Qiangwei is not as pretty as Lin Che.”

“Seriously, she was rejected? How embarrassing. Wonder if she’d still dare to do that.”

The mockery made Xiao Qiangwei hopping mad.

Lin Che naturally heard about it too.

She heard it from her subordinates as well as gossip from the outside. She shook her head and thought to herself. This Gu Jingze really could attract attention wherever he went. Even if he was not that high and mighty Gu Jingze, he could still make people rush to him like ducks. This was simply because he was too attractive.

Just then, Gu Jingze entered.

Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze and smiled. “Aren’t you famous within the crew now?”

Gu Jingze frowned. “What?”

Lin Che walked over and went close to his face. “Why? Haven’t you heard? The incident between you and Xiao Qiangwei has already spread through the crew.”

Gu Jingze looked at her. “Things like that will happen in the crew?”

Then it was too dangerous.

A woman could go to a man’s room. In that case, if a man would go to a woman’s room, would anyone go to Lin Che’s room?

Lin Che pondered and said, “I’ve never heard of such a thing. Maybe some rumors in the past, but I have never witnessed such things.”

“Has anybody knocked on your door?” Gu Jingze asked as he leaned in.

Lin Che sighed and pretended to look pitiful. “Yeah, nobody. I’m not charming enough.”

A pair of dangerous eyes came closer. “So, what do you want to do about that?”

Lin Che quickly pushed him away. “Idiot, I was just joking. But I really have not encountered such a thing. Perhaps it might be because I never really bothered about anything else besides filming. Anyway, I’ve never heard of such a thing.”

Gu Jingze frowned. “Fine.”

Of course, he knew that she wouldn’t have such encounters. Otherwise, his subordinates would have long told him everything.

Lin Che said, “But I never thought that Xiao Qiangwei would dare to bark up anyone’s tree. She knew that you’re mine, but she still dared to seduce you. Seriously…”

Why did those words sound strange?

‘You’re mine, but she still dared to seduce you’?

Have the roles been reversed?

—

Outside, Ou Lie listened to the gossip and felt even worse for himself.

No way. Even Xiao Qiangwei went to seduce the newcomer, Zhou Yu.

She didn’t even try to seduce him.

It increasingly felt as though he, the male lead, still couldn’t be as popular as Zhou Yu.

Did these women even take him seriously?!

But thinking about it, it wasn’t right. Was he feeling sad because a married, third-grade woman like Xiao Qiangwei did not seduce him?

Oh well. It was all this Zhou Yu’s fault for stealing his thunder. He disrupted the entire dynamics of the crew!

On this day, they had to film some water scenes.

Water scenes were always very tough. Many artists did not like it and would use a substitute onset.

Actually, artists did not like doing it personally for a reason. Some artists were physically weak. They could fall sick from staying in water the whole day and this would cause delays. It would be less expensive for the crew to spend money on a substitute instead.

But Lin Che didn’t seem to need a substitute. She did many scenes on her own.

Her crew was very open-minded. If the artist did not want to do it, they could get a substitute easily. But Lin Che did not have a substitute, so the rest did not dare to ask for one either. Thus, everyone was rather dreading the day.

Just then, Gu Jingze emerged.

The women’s faces were filled with anticipation.

“Oh my, Zhou Yu is going into the water later.”

“That’s great! I wonder if his body is as great as his face.”

“Definitely. He’s so tall and lean.”

“Haha. He could be a skinny chicken,” Ou Lie said contemptuously at the side.

The women looked at him and chimed, “Hmph, you’re just jealous.”

Ou Lie was furious. He was the male lead. He was the male lead!

In other crews, women would be orbiting the male lead. Why was it that here…

They were going crazy over a newcomer?

It was not fair!
