I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

He took out the beef, tomatoes, and cabbage, but Cheng Sheng didn't dare touch the cucumbers.

Then I found noodles in the kitchen.

With limited ingredients, Cheng Sheng planned to cook two bowls of noodles.

First, I blanched the beef in boiling water, then I sliced ​​the tomatoes and tore the cabbage into strips.

Then I blanched the noodles in hot water.

Stir-fry the beef until cooked, then add cabbage and tomatoes, then add water. Once the water boils, add the noodles, and finally add salt, MSG, and soy sauce.

"Xiaoran, dinner's ready."

He turned off the stove, carried the noodles to the bedroom, placed them by the bed, and gently called out to Li Xiaoran.

When Li Xiaoran was woken up, she looked at the noodles by the bedside and a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Did you make this?" Li Xiaoran asked gently.

“Yeah, I grew up in the countryside, so making noodles is easy for me,” Cheng Sheng said with a smile.

Li Xiaoran didn't say anything more. She sat up and leaned against the bed, took the chopsticks and bowl that Cheng Sheng handed her, and slowly began to eat.

"Great! It's delicious." After taking the first bite, Li Xiaoran's eyes lit up, and she praised it.

Cheng Sheng picked up a piece of beef from his bowl and gave it to Li Xiaoran, saying, "You used up so much energy just now, eat more meat to replenish yourself."

"It's all your fault." Li Xiaoran rolled her eyes.

A dozen minutes later, Li Xiaoran, having finished her noodles, lay back down.

She was tormented for more than three hours, plus the three hours early this morning, making it more than six hours today. If she weren't in good health, she probably would have fallen apart long ago.

Seeing that Li Xiaoran had already fallen asleep, Cheng Sheng did not disturb her. Instead, he went to the kitchen, washed the dishes, and then returned to the bedroom. He gently got into bed, held Li Xiaoran in his arms, and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Although he recovered quickly and is physically strong, he hasn't stopped working much since yesterday.

When Cheng Sheng woke up again, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Looking at Li Xiaoran, who was still fast asleep, Cheng Sheng suddenly noticed that the screen of his phone, which was placed on the bedside table, lit up and then kept vibrating.

He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Zeng Li.

To avoid disturbing Li Xiaoran's sleep, Cheng Sheng got out of bed, went into the bathroom, and then answered his phone.

"husband."

After the call connected, I heard Zeng Li's anxious voice.

"Wife, what's wrong?" Cheng Sheng asked.

"Are you OK?"

Zeng Li's concerned voice came through the phone.

"fine."

"Then why didn't you reply to my messages? I thought something had happened to you, I was so worried about you," Zeng Li scolded over the phone.

Ah!
Cheng Sheng slapped his forehead; he had completely forgotten.

I said goodbye to Zeng Li in the morning, and then took a plane back to Kyoto.

Zeng Li also specifically told herself that she must let her know she arrived safely after getting off the plane.

But I was having so much fun with Li Xiaoran that I forgot all about it.

Damn it, Sister Li must be worried sick.

"Honey, I'm sorry. I ran into an acquaintance at the airport and got so engrossed in our conversation that I forgot. I won't do it again next time," Cheng Sheng quickly offered an explanation.

"What friend? Do I know them?" Zeng Li asked.

"It's Mr. Yu from Bona Film Group. He pulled me aside to discuss a collaboration on a new film!"

Cheng Sheng casually mentioned a name.

Anyway, Zeng Li wouldn't go to Yu Dong to confirm, and she didn't know Yu Dong.

"Oh, remember to reply to my messages next time, otherwise I'll worry," Zeng Li said gently, without any suspicion.

"Okay, honey, I love you." "I love you too."

Cheng Sheng and Zeng Li chatted intimately for more than half an hour before ending the call.

When Cheng Sheng came out of the bathroom, he saw Li Xiaoran leaning against the headboard, staring at him with a strange look.

"I've finished the call," Li Xiaoran said, pouting.

Cheng Sheng glanced at the bathroom door. He had been in a hurry to answer the phone and forgot to close the door, so Li Xiaoran had probably heard everything he and Zeng Li were saying. Otherwise, Li Xiaoran wouldn't have pouted so much; she was clearly unhappy.

"Jealous."

Cheng Sheng got into bed and put his arm around Li Xiaoran.

"Hmph! He's in my own home, chatting sweet nothings with another woman, and you're asking me if I'm jealous? What a scumbag."

Although Li Xiaoran had already made concessions under Cheng Sheng's strong pressure and no longer minded being with other women, as a woman, it would be a miracle if she were happy to think about her man whispering sweet nothings to other women!
Ring ring ring!
Just as Cheng Sheng was about to coax Li Xiaoran, his phone rang again.

"Has another woman been contacting you?"

Upon hearing the phone ring, Li Xiaoran said quietly.

Cheng Sheng looked at Li Xiaoran strangely and said, "It sounds like your phone is ringing."

Li Xiaoran was taken aback upon hearing this, then blushed and looked towards the ringtone, finding that it was indeed her own phone ringing.

Li Xiaoran quickly grabbed her phone, glanced at the caller ID, blushed, and gestured for Cheng Sheng to be quiet.

“Hey, Xiaoxi,” Li Xiaoran said softly.

"Xiaoran, are you home?" A woman's voice came from the phone.

Li Xiaoran did not answer, but looked at Cheng Sheng instead.

"Who is it?"

Cheng Sheng leaned close to Li Xiaoran's ear and asked softly.

“Xu Fanxi, my best friend,” Li Xiaoran whispered.

"Xiaoran, are you there?"

Seeing that Li Xiaoran did not answer, Xu Fanxi asked again on the phone.

"Yes, I'm at home," Li Xiaoran replied.

"That's great, Sister Xiaoran! I've landed a role in a TV series, and filming starts in Shanghai tomorrow. I'm going to Shanghai tomorrow, so can I stay with you for a while?" Xu Fanxi asked happily.

Li Xiaoran was taken aback and couldn't help but look at Cheng Sheng. Her best friend was going to stay here, so what about her and Cheng Sheng...?

At this moment, Li Xiaoran hesitated.

She was planning to spend two days with Cheng Sheng, but if her best friend came, wouldn't that ruin the time she could spend with Cheng Sheng?
But it wouldn't be good to refuse!

After all, Xu Fanxi is her best friend.

"Fine!"

In the end, Li Xiaoran agreed.

She didn't want to expose her relationship with Cheng Sheng. If she didn't agree, her best friend would definitely become suspicious and come knocking on her door. If she saw Cheng Sheng at her house, she wouldn't even need to explain.

Cheng Sheng listened to Li Xiaoran and Xu Fanxi on the phone the whole time, and he felt extremely strange.

'Best friend'!

The relationship between these two best friends is bound to be complicated in the future!

Without me, Li Xiaoran and Xu Fanxi's friendship probably wouldn't have lasted long.

What Li Xiaoran did to Xu Fanxi was really unethical.

Even though Li Xiaoran is now his woman, Cheng Sheng still criticizes her in his heart.

The saying "Beware of fire, theft, and best friends" has become a famous saying because it hits a nerve with so many people.

A true friend can turn around and steal your lover; all the feelings you give can end up paving the way for someone else's happiness.

The whole affair between Xu Fanxi and Li Xiaoran is truly heartbreaking. (End of Chapter)
