Mr. Lu, stop being such a jerk. Your wife is your nemesis's white moonlight.

Xu An'an looked up in a daze, meeting Yan Heng's taut jawline.

Yan Heng's chest heaved with rage, but the arms around her waist remained firm and strong.

Overwhelmed by the intoxication, Xu An'an shook her head vigorously, struggling to regain her balance.

She patted Yan Heng, trying hard to control her tongue:

"Let go, I'm going to sleep."

Yan Heng turned around, his eyes deep, and tightened his grip on her arm. "I'll take you back."

"No need," Xu An'an tilted her head slightly. Yan Heng's breath was too close to hers, making her feel a little uncomfortable. "I've already booked a room upstairs."

As she spoke, she forcefully broke free from Yan Heng's embrace and, with Dongdong in tow, headed towards the elevator.

Only after Xu An'an's figure had completely disappeared from his sight did Yan Heng subtly move the hand that had just been around her.

He closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, all the complex emotions in his eyes were replaced by a chilling indifference.

He turned around, his icy gaze fixed on Ye Ruyan, his voice low yet clear and piercing:

"Ms. Ye, this production crew doesn't need you anymore."

"Please leave immediately."

Ye Ruyan suddenly looked up.

"On what grounds?"

She looked at Yan Heng in disbelief, her expression a mixture of jealousy and resentment: "I've already given her the role of Chen Nian! What more do you want?"

After multiple rounds of interviews with Chen Nian, Ye Ruyan was chosen as the backup actress.

As long as Xu An'an doesn't come, this role is hers.

Yan Heng squeezed the room key in his hand—2101.

Xu An'an then stayed in another room.

He lifted his leg and turned right, his footsteps making no sound on the exquisite, thick carpet, stopping directly in front of room 2102.

The door was tightly shut, and there wasn't a sound coming from inside.

His hands, hanging at his sides, unconsciously curled up.

He knew all too well what Xu An'an was like when she was drunk.

He's usually a quiet and reserved person, but after a few drinks, he becomes incredibly boisterous.

She sang, danced, cried, and made a fuss. Even after finally lying down, she kept kicking off the blankets.

At that time, he could still take care of her under the guise of being her "younger brother."

But now, he doesn't even have the right to knock on the door.

He suddenly had a strong urge to smoke, but he couldn't find a single cigarette anywhere on his body. Then he realized that he hadn't smoked in a long time.

—He quit smoking the day he learned that Xu An'an had agreed to star in the film.

Yan Heng resignedly closed his eyes and pressed his forehead against the cold door in front of him.

In fact, for a long time, what he wanted to do most was to forget Xu An'an.

But no matter how he tried to numb himself with overwork, that face with shallow dimples would still appear in his dreams when he woke up in the middle of the night.

He had nowhere to escape.

Yan Heng met Xu An'an during the most miserable time of his life.

At that time, he had a big fight with his father, and Yan Zhenze threw him into a remote town in a fit of anger.

"You think you're so great? Well, just wait and see what you're worth without the Yan family!"

And so, 17-year-old Yan Heng arrived in a completely unfamiliar environment.

Here, nobody knows who he is.

At that time, Yan Heng had no money, no education, no connections, and wasn't even old enough to legally work. He worked as a waiter and on construction sites, but how could a pampered young master who had been used to high positions since childhood easily adapt to a job where he had to read people's faces?

He got into arguments with deliberately nitpicking customers when he worked as a waiter. He ended up at a construction site getting into a fight and ending up at the police station. Finally, the restaurant owner introduced him to a job on a nearby film set.

Film crews are the most diverse and hierarchical places. Young and "without any background," he was undoubtedly at the bottom of the food chain, where anyone could step on him.

That day, after only a few bites of lunch, the production team leader irritably kicked the equipment case next to Yan Heng's legs, saying, "How long are you going to rest? Do you want me to ask you to move it?"

Yan Heng frowned but didn't say anything. After so much time, he had learned to control his temper.

Moreover, he had already been warned by the police, and if he made a scene and ended up in jail, it would inevitably alarm Yan Zhenze.

He didn't want Yan Zhenze to laugh at him.

Yan Heng silently put down the lunchbox, and just as he was about to get up, he suddenly heard a clear and melodious voice:

"Team Leader Li, the director said to keep this box of lights."

Yan Heng turned around to look.

Backlit, Xu An'an blatantly entered his life.
