I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

In contrast, Zhang Ziyi, who was also a campus beauty, became an internationally renowned actress, rising to fame with the film "The Road Home" and embarking on her illustrious path to becoming a film queen.

In fact, after graduating from the Central Academy of Drama, Zeng Li had the opportunity to play the female lead in "My Father and Mother".

She was originally supposed to play the role, but due to various coincidences, Zhang Ziyi ultimately took over.

If Zeng Li had starred in that film, she might have become famous long ago and joined the ranks of top actresses.

But faced with such an opportunity, Zeng Li's reaction was surprisingly calm: "Maybe I won't become famous even if I act in it."

Her Buddhist-like mindset also foreshadows that she will have a smooth journey in her pursuit of fame and fortune in the entertainment industry.

People with strong desires will go all out for their goals, but Zeng Li doesn't have such strong ambitions and desires.

She was unwilling to fake herself for the sake of success, nor was she willing to cater to the trends of the entertainment industry or resort to underhanded tactics.

She is not fascinated by the competition and scheming in the world of fame and fortune, and maintains independent thinking.

Of course, this laid-back attitude also limited her development.

However, Cheng Sheng didn't care much; he didn't force Zeng Li if she didn't want to.

As long as Zeng Li is happy, Cheng Sheng will still support her, but he feels a little sorry that she is being exploited by the company.

Although the company gave her shares, it was only because Zeng Li became very popular and could bring a lot of profits to the company. In order to prevent her from leaving, the company used shares to tie her to the company.

Cheng Sheng didn't say anything more. Instead, he lowered his head slightly, his nose brushing against Zeng Li's head, their breaths mingling. Then his lips gently landed on her forehead, the warm touch carrying a hint of doting and a hint of possessiveness.

Although Zeng Li was already used to Cheng Sheng's touch, her body still stiffened slightly. She looked up and saw his face so close to hers, his eyes filled with starlight and an unyielding affection that made it impossible for her to look away.

Cheng Sheng's gaze fell on her reddened eyes and lips, which were like ripe cherries with an alluring color. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he leaned down and kissed her lips.

The kiss was tender yet domineering, lingering and caressing. His warm lips covered hers, their breaths mingling, the scents of cedar and citrus blending together perfectly, filling the hotel room.

Zeng Li gripped his clothes tightly. From her initial daze to her gradual response, her lips trembled slightly, and she wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing herself closer. The warm touch transmitted through his clothes, making her body feel slightly hot.

When emotions run deep, all reason is cast aside, leaving only the beating of each other's hearts and the lingering affection.

Cheng Sheng gently put his arm around her waist, picked her up horizontally, and placed her on the soft bed.

The room lights were dimmed, casting a warm yellow glow on the two of them, as if they were performing a ritual, making their figures appear sacred.

Sunlight streamed through the hotel room window, filtering through the curtains and falling on the two figures, adding a touch of romantic tenderness.

The warmth of their skin touching instantly spread throughout their bodies. Zeng Li's fingers gently gripped Cheng Sheng's arm, leaving faint red marks.

Her soft murmurs, scattered in the air, carried a hint of shyness and dependence, like the soft whispers of a kitten, as if waiting for its owner to feed it.

Cheng Sheng's movements were gentle yet firm, carrying the doting affection of a domineering CEO, as well as the careful protection of a woman. His lips kissed her forehead... and finally landed on her lips.

He could clearly feel her trembling and her unwavering trust. His affection for her grew stronger; he only wanted to cherish her and protect her from any further suffering or insecurity. The sunlight outside the window grew increasingly intense, streaming into the room and raising its temperature.

After an unknown amount of time, everything returned to calm, leaving only the soft breathing of the two of them and the close beating of their hearts.

Zeng Li nestled in Cheng Sheng's arms, her cheek pressed against his chest, feeling his steady and powerful heartbeat and warm body temperature, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist.

She gently gripped his back with her fingers, as if afraid he would suddenly disappear. The grip was so tight that he could feel a slight pain, yet she couldn't bear to open her eyes.

Her voice was soft, slightly hoarse from crying, yet filled with deep affection. She pressed against his chest and murmured, "Cheng Sheng, I love you."

These three words felt as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold, causing Cheng Sheng's heart to tremble slightly.

It was as if the voice came from Zeng Li's soul. Cheng Sheng said gently, "Sister Li, I love you too, I will love you for a lifetime."

After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, then hugged her tighter, pulling her into his embrace as if he wanted to merge her into his body and never separate from her again.

As Zeng Li listened to his promise and felt his warmth, her nose tingled slightly, but she still managed to smile.

The bedroom lights remained soft. Cheng Sheng held the woman in his arms by the waist, feeling her softness and dependence, his eyes filled with an intense, unwavering doting affection.

He will keep this promise, cherish her virtue and cheerfulness, and protect the affection between them, so that she will no longer have to bear anxiety and unease alone, and that her future days will be filled with only sweetness and happiness, without the slightest grievance.

Outside, the sun shines brightly, and cars come and go in the city. But this small room has become the warmest haven for the two of them, where they can keep their true feelings for each other and hold endless tenderness and sweetness for the rest of their lives.

Luxury hotels typically offer a variety of recreational facilities, such as gyms, swimming pools, and spas, allowing guests to relax and unwind after a busy day.

In addition, the hotel offers a variety of cultural activities and performances, such as concerts and dance performances, allowing guests to experience the charm of art.

Luxury hotels offer a high-quality lifestyle experience, allowing people to enjoy a comfortable, elegant, and high-quality life.

The hotel booked by the Malacca government was a luxury hotel, and it had everything you could need.

Cheng Sheng gave the crew a day off today because Zeng Li and Zhang Meng were there.

Some people go out to have fun, go shopping, or stroll around.

Meanwhile, some people stayed at the hotel to relax, some playing cards, some swimming, some getting massages, some singing, and some working out.

3 PM.

Cheng Sheng returned to his room, and his phone vibrated twice in a row. It was a text message from Li Xiaoran and Da Tiantian.

He smiled slightly, quickly tapping his phone screen to reply to the two women's text messages.

Afterwards, Cheng Sheng put down his phone and lay down on the bed to rest.

Although he has boundless energy, he hasn't slept a wink since last night. People need sleep, otherwise they'd truly become monsters. (End of Chapter)
