She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment Ⅱ - Chapter 996

Chapter 996: The Love Rival Arrives (1)

The director gasped audibly before the crew worker could finish his sentence. “You mean, Ms. Qiao resembles Mrs. Shen and that’s why Best Actor Shen wanted her?”

The crew worker paused.

Why did he have this nagging feeling that Ms. Qiao and Mrs. Shen were one and the same person?

However, Mrs. Shen wasn’t a public figure after all and rarely made an appearance. Although there had been pictures of her, in pictures people often looked different from real life.

Hence, many celebrities often would go unrecognized even if they stood right next to you.

The crew worker said after carefully contemplating it, “I recall that Mrs. Shen’s surname was Qiao too, right?”

“What do you mean? Ms. Qiao is Mrs. Shen? You’re kidding! If Ms. Qiao were Mrs. Shen, why would she be an insignificant caster? Mrs. Shen is Forget Chuan, not Love Chuan. But… since you said this, it’s possible that this Ms. Qiao is using her resemblance to get Best Actor Shen’s attention! The entertainment circle is too complex, let’s not entangle ourselves. But the fact that Best Actor Shen has successfully hooked up with the junior caster will make our filming easier from now on, and that is good enough!”

At these words, the crew worker fell silent.

Qiao Lian, who was in the hotel room, of course had absolutely no idea that her identity had almost been revealed.

She lay on the bed, as still as she could be, afraid that the slightest movement on her part would wake up Shen Liangchuan, causing him to lose sleep afterwards.

She shut her eyes and listened to his breathing, as his masculine scent filled her nostrils.

She was blissfully happy right now.

She pursed her lips. Her hands unconsciously found their way to her belly.

Child, can you hear that?

It’s the sound of your daddy’s breathing.

The corners of her lips turned upwards into a smile as she gradually fell asleep

Once she had fallen asleep, the man opened his eyes and turned to look at her, his gaze so intense that it seemed almost obsessive.

He knew only too well that forcing his way on her would never work. He had to gently persuade.

If he pretended to have fallen asleep, she would not bear to kick him out. Otherwise, it would have been another bout of struggle.

He stared at her, recalling her reaction. He squinted as he felt a pang of sharp pain in his heart.

Had they grown apart so much in this short time?

He cast his gaze down and, after a pause, made a slight movement to extend his arm. Quietly and lightly, he embraced her and then shut his eyes again.

As her scent invaded and took over his senses, he slowly fell into a slumber.

When Qiao Lian woke up the following day, Shen Liangchuan was gone.

Strangely, she sighed in relief. She realized that she didn’t know how to confront him.

She couldn’t bear to leave him.

But whenever she remembered the psychologist’s words, she would feel overwhelmed by deep concern.

She didn’t want him to go back to a life of sleepless nights.

She took a deep breath.

Then she got out of bed and washed up. She saw that there was breakfast on the table and ate her fill.

She determined after some thinking that, in the future, she was better off going back home, no matter how late filming ended. What could she do with the awkward arrangement of spending the night in a hotel room with Shen Liangchuan?

After making up her mind, she took a few bites of her breakfast and got ready to leave. The moment she opened the room door, she saw the junior assistant standing there. “Sister Qiao, there’s word from the crew that we’re going to film in Hengdian. Best Actor Shen said that it’s hard to get a feel of the role filming here without any background, so we might as well go to Hengdian.”

The crew’s biggest concern initially had been Shen Liangchuan’s availability, but since he was now making himself available, of course they were more than willing.
