The Rise of Chinese Entertainment in 2008

Inside the room, the soft music gradually subsided, and Shu Chang, her face rosy, leaned lazily against Gu Ning's chest.

After about ten minutes, she regained some strength and asked, "Can my contract be cancelled?"

"Um?"

Gu Ning, who was lost in thought, looked down at her in surprise upon hearing this: "Didn't you say that your uncle and aunt had already agreed?"

The last time Shu Chang left the crew to return to Beijing to film GG, it was actually her aunt who tricked her into going back.

Shu Chang didn't tell Gu Ning about these things, but after she returned, Gu Ning asked her if she had told her uncle about the contract.

Shu Chang said that her uncle and aunt both agreed and were very supportive of her choice.

Gu Ning guessed that things might not be so simple, but since Shu Chang was unwilling to talk about it, he didn't ask any further questions.

Did her aunt not agree?

Shu Chang paused for a moment and then said, "It has nothing to do with this matter; it's because of you and Qianqian."

Gu Ning stiffened upon hearing this, but forced herself to remain calm and asked, "What happened between me and Consort Yi?"

"Sisi told me everything!" Shu Chang said quietly.

Gu Ning fell silent. He had considered this issue after he and Liu Yifei confirmed their relationship.

However, he felt that Liu Yifei wouldn't tell Shu Chang for the time being.

Although the two have a good relationship, Liu Yifei is probably too embarrassed to talk about this.

Firstly, their relationship developed too quickly, and secondly, they only confirmed their relationship after they had sex.

But if Liu Yifei hadn't said it, Shu Chang wouldn't have said those words.

"When did you find out?" Gu Ning asked.

Shu Chang said, "Actually, Xixi didn't tell me about your relationship."

"Um?"

Gu Ning was stunned. So Shu Chang had been bluffing him just now?

His silence just now was undoubtedly an admission, and at this moment he really didn't know how to refute it.

After a long silence, Gu Ning asked, "When did you find out?"

"I noticed it when I came back from the capital last time; you smelled like Xixi."

"And what have you been up to these past few days...?"

Shu Chang smiled and interrupted Gu Ning: "We are both adults. I have said from the beginning that I will not be your girlfriend."

I don't care if you have a girlfriend, and I won't interfere.

But Sissi is my good friend, and I can't let her down.

Shu Chang shifted slightly, resting her head against Gu Ning's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and said softly, "My father chose to divorce my mother not long after I was born."

Just because I'm a daughter, and he wanted a son.

If he has another child, he will lose his job. Divorce and remarriage is the best solution.

When I was little, my mother was always reluctant to tell me. Every time I asked her where my father was, she would get angry at me.

I didn't dare ask anymore, and she never told me these things until she passed away. It was my uncle and aunt who told me.

Therefore, I have never believed in love, and I have no plans to get married.

It was very comfortable with you, that's all. If you weren't with Sisi, perhaps I would continue this relationship with you.

I'll only cut off contact with you when I get tired of you one day.

Her tone was indifferent when she mentioned her father. Her attitude towards their relationship remained equally indifferent.

Gu Ning felt a warmth in her chest; it was Shu Chang's tears.

Gu Ning rolled over, pinning her beneath him. He gently wiped away her tears, looked into her eyes, and said, "Changchang, you don't want Qianqian to know about us, do you?"

"You..." Shu Chang looked at Gu Ning in disbelief.

"You've already said that you won't be my girlfriend, you won't marry me, and you don't care if I find a girlfriend."

Since that's the case, it doesn't matter who I find, right? You said you didn't want to betray Sisi, but you've already betrayed her.

Gu Ning said, "If you cut off all contact with me, I will tell Qianqian about us."

"You wouldn't dare!"

Shu Chang gritted her teeth and said, "Besides, it was just my guess before; Qianqian didn't tell me. As long as I don't admit it, do you think Qianqian will believe me or you!"

Gu Ning didn't argue with her about it, and instead lowered his head to kiss her.

Shu Chang began to struggle violently, but soon her body went limp and she responded emotionally.

Having fought each other many times, Gu Ning had long since figured out her weaknesses.

Half an hour later, Gu Ning carried Shu Chang into the bathroom.

After washing her, I carried her back to bed.

Gu Ning stroked her smooth back and said, "After we get back to Beijing, rest for a couple of days, then come to the company. I've already asked the company to find you an agent, and we'll arrange for you to meet then."

Shu Chang remained silent upon hearing this, as if silently refusing, or perhaps tacitly agreeing with Gu Ning's words.

"Snapped!"

Gu Ning's hand slid down and slapped her on the buttocks: "Did you hear me?"

"Mmm." Shu Chang's eyes welled up with tears.

"That's a good boy."

Gu Ning patted her head.

…………

The following morning, the remaining actors came to say goodbye to Gu Ning one after another before leaving.

Gu Ning left Fan Chunxi and some crew members to handle the aftermath, while she returned to Beijing with Shu Chang.

Because we left a little late, we arrived in the capital city after 1 p.m.

After changing into his own Mercedes, Gu Ning drove Shu Chang to a restaurant.

On the bus, Shu Chang felt somewhat uneasy.

When Liu Yifei learned that the two had returned, she offered to treat them to a meal.

Going with Gu Ning always gave her the feeling of a mistress meeting the wife.

"Don't be nervous. According to the timeline, you were here earlier than her. What are you nervous about?" Gu Ning said with a smile.

Shu Chang rolled her eyes at him and said, "Be careful what you say in front of Qianqian. Don't forget what you promised me."

"I know, don't worry." Gu Ning nodded.

Although Shu Chang eventually compromised and did not say she wanted to sever ties with him again.

However, he also made a request: Liu Yifei must never know about their affair.

Liu Yifei booked a private restaurant, which is frequented by celebrities and offers excellent privacy.

When he and Shu Chang arrived at the private room, Liu Yifei was playing on her phone, without any attempt to conceal her face.

"Changchang!"

"Sissi!"

The sisters were overjoyed to see each other, and they hugged each other with smiles. Liu Yifei then pulled her to sit down.

"Now that you're back, I finally have someone to talk to and go shopping with."

"I haven't gone shopping in ages."

"Let's go shopping this afternoon. The weather is getting warmer, so it's a good time to buy some clothes."

Perhaps feeling guilty, Shu Chang was a little awkward at first, but she recovered after a few words.

Seeing the two of them whispering amongst themselves while she remained unresponsive, Gu Ning said impatiently, "Can we order our food first?"

"The dishes here need to be ordered in advance. I've already ordered, and they'll be served in a bit."

Liu Yifei replied and then chatted with Shu Chang again.

Gu Ning shook her head and simply took out her phone to play a game.

Before the game of Snake was even over, Mr. Wang from Sohu called.

"Hello, Mr. Wang."

"Director Gu, I heard you've returned to Beijing?"

"Haha, Mr. Wang, you're really well-informed. I just arrived in Beijing."

"Then I'll treat you to a welcome dinner for Director Gu. I happen to have some good news to share with you."

"I'm sorry, I already have an appointment. How about I treat Mr. Wang tonight?"
