I became a movie star at the age of three; Dilraba and I are childhood sweethearts.

An intern rubbed his eyes hard, his voice trembling.

"I...I'm not seeing things, am I? That's Avril?"

"No mistake! I'd recognize her even if she were ashes! Good heavens, how come she came to the company with Xiao Chen?"

"Xiao Chen is amazing... He was just rumored to be dating the 'Fairy Sister' a few days ago, and today he's brought the Grammy Queen to his company?"

"This good-looking couple is blinding!"

The whispers were kept extremely low, but they couldn't block the burning gazes from those around them.

Although Avril didn't understand much Chinese, she could sense the amazement and envy.

She subconsciously moved closer to Xiao Chen, a strange sweetness and pride welling up inside her.

It was as if she were announcing to the whole world that this man, whom everyone looked up to, now belonged to her.

Xiao Chen seemed oblivious to the commotion around him; he was already used to being the center of attention.

He led Avril straight to his private elevator, his expression completely calm.

Only after the elevator doors closed, blocking all prying eyes, did Avril take off her sunglasses and curiously look inside the elevator.

"Xiao, this company is great."

She praised it sincerely.

As a giant in China's entertainment industry, Shishiba Culture naturally boasts a top-notch office environment.

The design is very stylish, exuding simplicity and luxury in every detail.

Xiao Chen casually agreed.

"It's alright."

His tone was so flat, it was as if he were just saying the weather was nice today.

Avril Lavigne sees this nonchalant attitude as an ultimate charm.

It seems that his immense wealth and top-tier status in the industry are nothing more than ordinary things to him.

The elevator goes directly to the top floor, where Wang Jinhua's office is located.

Xiao Chen pushed the door open and went in.

Good morning, Aunt Hua.

Wang Jinhua was looking at the documents when she looked up and saw Avril behind him, and she was also stunned for a moment.

But she was, after all, a seasoned agent who had seen it all, and she quickly regained her composure, standing up with a smile.

"Miss Avril, welcome."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Xiao Chen got straight to the point.

"Aunt Hua, what about those notebooks I gave you last week?"

Wang Jinhua handed him a document.

"Preparations are almost complete."

"This is my market assessment of one of the notebooks. Take a look."

Xiao Chen took it, and the cover of the document clearly read five large characters: "My Love from the Star".

This is precisely the trump card he has prepared to use to break into the Asian idol drama market.

In its previous life, this drama was so popular that it was a phenomenon, with its influence radiating throughout the East Asian cultural sphere.

Xiao Chen made the decision almost without hesitation.

"I'll play the male lead, and for the female lead... let's go with Liu Yifei, her temperament is a perfect fit for the role."

Wang Jinhua nodded, not surprised by this.

"I've already contacted Yifei's side. She's very interested in the script, and her schedule is fine. However..."

She paused, a hint of worry on her face.

"Won't this kind of purely idol drama affect your status?"

"You're an Oscar-winning actor now."

To many, casting an Oscar-winning actor in an idol drama is simply a demotion for him.

Xiao Chen tapped his fingertips lightly on the script cover, his eyes deep.

"It's okay."

"I want the whole world to see just how high our Chinese idol dramas can go."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable confidence.

Avril sat on the sofa next to him. Although she couldn't understand the specific content of their conversation, she could clearly feel the aura emanating from Xiao Chen at that moment.

Serious, focused, and decisive.

He was no longer the gentle man who took her to listen to crosstalk and accompanied her to see the night view from the mountaintop.

At this moment, he is a shrewd decision-maker, the emperor of this entertainment kingdom.

When he discusses the script, his eyes sparkle with creative brilliance; when he finalizes the cast, his tone carries absolute authority.

That air of complete control was more captivating than any of the roles he played in any movie.

Avril's heart was pounding, and she felt her cheeks burning.

She finally understood that she had fallen in love not only with the handsome and gentle Xiao Chen, but also with this complete and infinitely charming man.

Over the next few days, Avril completely became Xiao Chen's little shadow.

She accompanied him to the script reading session for "My Love from the Star," watching him offer insightful suggestions for every detail of the script, leaving the seasoned screenwriters present in awe.

She went with him to the post-production company to see the initial cut of "Empresses in the Palace".

It was a sample film that lasted several hours, and the process was tedious and boring. But Xiao Chen watched it with complete absorption.

He would sometimes frown, sometimes nod, accurately pointing out which shot had an off mood and which segment could be edited at a faster pace.

His professionalism and keen insight impressed the director and editor beside him.

Although Avril Lavigne couldn't understand the plot of the palace intrigue, she was captivated by the gorgeous costumes, exquisite composition, and the actors' superb acting skills.

She realized that Xiao Chen was creating a great work, and she was fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of it at its inception.

Outside of work, Xiao Chen's life is as simple as that of an ordinary person.

Every evening, they would return to that quiet courtyard house.

Xiao Chen's mother, Ye Huimei, was a very kind and amiable lady. She showed great enthusiasm for Avril's arrival and cooked all kinds of Chinese delicacies every day.

At the dinner table, Ye Huimei kept putting food on Avril's plate and asking about her well-being.

That genuine care made Avril, who had grown up with a distant family, feel warmth she had never experienced before.

She watched the intimate and natural mother-son interaction between Ye Huimei and Xiao Chen.

Seeing Xiao Chen shed all his glamour and relax at home, a soft spot in my heart was deeply touched.

So this is what home feels like.

If... if I could marry him and become a part of this family, I could see him working so diligently every day.

How wonderful it would be to come home and see his relaxed smile again.

Once the idea took root, it grew wildly in Avril's heart like a vine.

Her determination to be with him had never been stronger than it was at this moment.

Happy times are always short-lived; a week passes in the blink of an eye.

The weather in Beijing was somewhat gloomy on the day Avril left.

Xiao Chen personally drove her to the airport. He was also flying to another city today to continue filming "Back to Field".

The atmosphere in the car was somewhat subdued. Avril remained silent the entire way, only turning her head to greedily gaze at Xiao Chen's profile as he drove.

I want to imprint his image deeply in my mind.

Upon arriving at the VIP entrance of the airport, Xiao Chen stopped the car.

"arrive."

Avril unbuckled her seatbelt but did not get out of the car immediately.
