Lu Yao, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly opened her eyes because of his words: "Didn't you not want to sleep with me before?"

Fu Ciyan showed no remorse after being exposed; in fact, he could even retort confidently, "So you agree to change houses?"

Upon hearing about the house change, Lu Yao fell silent.

After a long pause, he said, "Then you'll pay for the new bed."

"Okay." Fu Ciyan turned and left without hesitation, not forgetting to turn off the light for her, but she couldn't fall asleep.

What should she do? She felt like she'd been tricked.

This is completely different from the feeling Fu Ciyan had shown before!

Shouldn't he be aloof, reserved, and acting as if he's afraid I'll take advantage of him? How come he seems to be accepting it well now, even getting a taste for it?

Ha, men, they really are the best at lying!

Although Fu Ciyan's attitude before and after left Lu Yao speechless, it was not unacceptable. It was better to get along well with a suitable partner than to quarrel all day and hate each other.

Lu Yao, who had quickly calmed herself down, closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

On the contrary, Fu Ciyan, who was lying on the narrow sofa in the living room, couldn't sleep. When he closed his eyes, he saw the erotic scene in the bathroom.

The girl's slender, white fingers, flushed cheeks, moist eyes, and soft, trembling moans...

Fu Ciyan suddenly opened his eyes, staring at the dark ceiling, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily.

He sat up irritably and rubbed his temples.

I wanted to clear my mind, but I found it even hotter. I had no choice but to get up and go into the bathroom. After closing the door, I soon heard the sound of running water.

Lu Yao woke up just as dawn was breaking the next day.

She's going to the filming location with Qinghe editor today to check on things.

As I was leaving my room to go to the bathroom to wash up, I bumped into Fu Ciyan, who was returning from outside. The man was wearing a black tank top and sweatpants, clearly having just come back from a run, and his body was still warm.

The moment their eyes met, Lu Yao had the illusion of being stared at by a wild beast, and her heart tightened instinctively.

Before she could speak, Fu Ciyan broke the silence: "Why are you up so early? Do you have work today?"

Lu Yao nodded: "We're going to check out the filming location today. Did you go for a run?"

"Hmm, what do you want for breakfast?" he asked naturally, as if he could make it for Lu Yao as long as she wanted it. Lu Yao certainly couldn't let such a good opportunity pass by. "I want to eat the noodles you cooked that night."

Meeting the little girl's expectant dark eyes, Fu Ciyan restrained himself and swallowed hard. "Okay."

It has to be admitted that Fu Ciyan's cooking skills are beyond reproach. Lu Yao even thinks that when Fu Ciyan gets old and retires, he could open a restaurant, and it would definitely be a huge success.

She ate a very satisfying breakfast, so much so that Lu Yao was humming a song as she left the house.

When she arrived at her destination, Qinghe was already waiting for her.

The historical setting of "Temptation of a Wife" is modern, so the set construction was not complicated; it just required attention to some details.

Lu Yao came here today specifically to look at this.

Qinghe accompanied her, carefully walking down the path and adjusting more than a dozen details. It was almost noon by then.

Qinghe naturally invited her to dinner, and Lu Yao did not refuse.

As Lu Yao emerged from the filming location, she noticed a film crew shooting nearby and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Could we go take a look over there?"

Qinghe smiled and nodded: "Of course, speaking of which, it seems that the drama being filmed over there now is also produced by Xingwen Entertainment."

As the two were talking, they walked closer and Lu Yao immediately spotted Xie Linyu filming in the scene. Realizing it was his drama, Lu Yao cursed her bad luck. She originally wanted to leave, but then she thought she should see Xie Linyu's acting skills and whether he was worthy of being her leading man.

Xie Linyu plays a scientist struggling to survive in a post-apocalyptic world, currently confronting mutated creatures.

Despite the complex action scenes, his performance made them flow smoothly and visually appealing; his eyes were focused, and his expressions were spot-on.

Lu Yao stood at the edge of the crowd, looking at Xie Linyu in front of the camera. She had to admit that, putting aside Xie Linyu's terrible personality, his acting skills were indeed top-notch.

"Actor Xie is really amazing," Qinghe exclaimed softly. "I heard that he usually gets every scene right in one take, with very few retakes."

Lu Yao nodded: "I can tell he's really good."

"Cut!" the director shouted with a broad smile. "That take was good. Ten-minute break!"

The staff on site breathed a sigh of relief and began adjusting the equipment. Xie Linyu took the water handed to him by his assistant, took a sip casually, and glanced at the crowd of onlookers.

Then, he saw Lu Yao.

However, Lu Yao wasn't looking this way; she was talking to the young editor next to her.

This realization annoyed him, so he shoved the water glass in his hand to his assistant and strode toward Lu Yao.

Just then, a stagehand carried over a prop. As it passed Lu Yao, the prop suddenly tilted and was about to fall towards her.

A group of people shouted "Watch out!" Lu Yao subconsciously turned around and saw a dark figure darting over.

Then, with a bang, the prop fell and hit Xie Linyu on the back as he rushed over.

The man groaned as he was hit, but did not dodge.

Lu Yao was startled by this sudden scene. When she came to her senses, Qing He had already pulled her back.

"Brother Xie! Are you alright?" The assistant rushed forward, his voice filled with anxiety.

The staff hurriedly moved the props off Xie Linyu's back, revealing the slightly disheveled figure of the man underneath.

Xie Linyu knelt on one knee, one hand supporting himself on the ground, the other hand covering his shoulder, his face frighteningly pale.

He raised his head, his gaze passing through the crowd and landing directly on Lu Yao.

"I'm fine." He responded to his assistant's concern in a hoarse voice, but as he stood up, he winced and hissed in pain from his shoulder.

Lu Yao's heart clenched.

She pushed aside the person blocking her way and quickly walked to Xie Linyu's side: "Are you alright? Thank you for what you did earlier."

She knew very well that if Xie Linyu hadn't suddenly rushed over and that big box hadn't fallen, she probably would have been carried out lying on her side today.

Even if she still had any complaints about Xie Linyu at this point, she wouldn't hold it against him because he had saved her.

Xie Linyu's black costume was torn on his shoulder, and bloodstains could be vaguely seen seeping out.

"Not good." He forced a smile and tried to stand up, but stumbled because of the pain.

Lu Yao subconsciously reached out to support him, and Xie Linyu leaned against her. "I might have to go to the hospital."

"I'll go with you," Lu Yao agreed without much thought.

Qinghe nervously followed Lu Yao. As they were about to get into the car, Lu Yao said to Qinghe, "I'm going to the hospital with him for a check-up. Qinghe, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. Anyway, today's business is already finished."

Qinghe did have other work to do, so she could only nod upon hearing this. However, before leaving, she pulled her aside and reminded her, "Although Actor Xie was injured while saving you, it was ultimately their crew's own mistake. Don't overthink it."

Knowing what Qinghe meant, Lu Yao was somewhat moved and nodded, "I know."
