Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

A few seconds later, Yu Chen leaned closer to her again.

"Do you know this person?"

Su Wuli subconsciously shook her head; they had indeed never worked together before.

"Well, why?" He paused, "because you were listening so intently."

Su Wuli bit her lip and remained silent.

Yu Chen spoke very close to her, his breath falling right next to her ear.

This left her somewhat at a loss.

She didn't answer, and the man didn't press her further, but he didn't sit back down either.

He kept a very close distance, his gaze fixed on her face.

The stage lights shifted, and a beam of light swept across their side, casting a small patch of light on his profile.

His eyes were deep-set, and there was something indescribable about them in the interplay of light and shadow.

She caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye, and her heart skipped a beat.

She glanced up at the male actor on stage, pretending to be listening attentively, as if trying to conceal her true intentions.

The male actor on stage lowered his voice again when he said a certain word.

Su Wuli clenched her fingers.

Mitama suddenly spoke, "When I speak..."

Su Wuli was stunned for a moment.

Then I heard him say slowly, "You've never listened this carefully before."

Su Wuli finally couldn't help but turn her head and meet his gaze.

She instinctively retorted, "I didn't."

"No?" Yu Chen looked at her. "You never dare to look at me."

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli choked for a moment, inwardly cursing, "Who told him to always make me... I dare not look."

"...It's different," she said very softly.

Yu Chen pressed further, "How is it different?"

Immediately afterwards, the voice on stage uttered another word.

Su Wuli subconsciously clenched her fingers again, and Yu Chen saw this action.

He looked at her and slowly said, "So that's how it is."

After she finished speaking, Su Wuli paused for a moment.

Yu Chen didn't say anything more.

After a moment, Su Wuli suddenly realized that he might have... guessed something.

The gazes from the side made her even more uneasy than before.

The voice on stage finally stopped.

Applause erupted, and the award presenters began reading the list of names.

Su Wuli breathed a sigh of relief and slowly loosened her grip on the armrest.

I didn't dare turn my head, and stared at the stage pretending to be watching the awards ceremony.

After a few seconds, Yu Chen suddenly spoke up, "Is there something wrong with what that person is saying?"

Su Wuli looked surprised and turned to look at him.

Yu Chen leaned back in his chair casually, his gaze fixed on her face.

With a hint of a smile still in her eyes, she asked again, "What's the problem?"

Su Wuli's lips twitched, and after hesitating for a moment, she softly opened them, "...No."

"Hmm," Yu Chen responded indifferently.

"Then why?" He paused, "I'm restless."

There was applause and music all around, some people were cheering, and some were talking.

But in this small space, there was only his gaze and her heartbeat.

Two seconds later, Yu Chen suddenly spoke.

His voice was low and husky, "The entry into each cinematic segment..."

He said exactly the same thing as the person on stage, word for word.

But they are different.

Su Wuli's face flushed when the person on stage said those words.

However, when Yu Chen said these words, she tensed up, her face full of astonishment.

The sound penetrated her eardrums, closer and more real than ever before.

It's as if he's right there on top of her, speaking in that voice right next to her ear.

Su Wuli subconsciously gripped the handrail tightly.

He didn't stop, continuing to repeat, "They all decided the final chapter..."

The words were low and slow, each one seemingly carrying warmth, falling into her ears and flowing down her nerves.

Su Wuli couldn't suppress the heat coursing through her body.

The fire started burning from the base of my ears down to my neck, then from my neck down to my collarbone, spreading all the way down, I don’t know where it ended up.

Then Yu Chen leaned back, his tone returning to normal, "What you're saying sounds fine."

He looked at her, waiting for an answer.

Su Wuli wanted to say no problem, and if it was just editing, she wanted to say don't learn it.

But because of her guilty conscience, she couldn't say a single word to him.

The man just looked at her without asking any further questions, but his gaze was hotter than any of his previous words.

It's like it's covered in sparks; a gentle touch could set it on fire.

Seeing that Yu Chen seemed about to continue speaking, Su Wuli had only one thought in her mind.

We can't let him talk anymore.

Without thinking, she immediately raised her hand and covered his mouth.

She pressed her palm against his warm lips.

Yu Chen paused for a moment, then looked down at her.

It seemed that people around were looking at her because of her movements.

The guest sitting next to her turned around and his gaze fell on her.

People were also glancing this way from diagonally behind.

Those gazes were like spotlights, shining on her face and making her feel uneasy.

Even though she knew it was all a dream and these people were fake, she still couldn't bear it.

Su Wuli was so ashamed that she didn't have time to think. She stood up abruptly, grabbed the man's hand, and was about to leave.

However, Yu Chen did not move.

She tugged at it, but it wouldn't budge.

I pulled again, but it still didn't move.

I couldn't help but turn my head to look at him.

Yu Chen sat in his seat, looking up at her.

There was a glimmer in those eyes, a smile, and something else entirely.

Then he suddenly applied force to his hand.

Su Wuli was caught off guard and was pulled forward, falling directly into his arms.

"You..." Before she could finish speaking, she had already sat on his lap.

His large hand gripped her waist.

All eyes turned to them again.

Her face flushed crimson, and she tried to pull away, but every time she moved, his hand tightened its grip.

Yu Chen lowered his head, his gaze falling on her.

Su Wuli is wearing a formal dress today.

Black, halter neck style, covering the front completely, but the back...

Su Wuli always wore her hair down, her long hair covering her back.

Yu Chen only knew that the clothes were different from usual, but he couldn't see exactly what they looked like.

Now she was sitting in his lap, her hair slipping down to her shoulders from the movement.

The back of the neck, the back, and large areas of bare, smooth white skin were exposed.

His gaze traveled down from the back of his neck, down his spine, down to his lower back, and then down to where his skirt covered his eyes.

Her skin was so white that it shimmered slightly under the light.

Su Wuli felt his gaze, which burned her back.

Finally, the man spoke, "Is this what you're wearing tonight?"

Su Wuli nodded.

The next instant, the hand gripping her waist tightened.

"Just sit here..." His voice lowered.

She froze for a moment.

The man continued, "So that so many people can see?"

Su Wuli opened her mouth to explain that it was a formal dress, and everyone wore one.

However, before she could speak, her words were silenced by the man's lips.

He kissed her with an undeniable domineering force, in front of so many people around, with a predatory air.

Su Wuli's mind went completely blank for a moment...

The gazes from those around us are still there.

All eyes were now on them.

Su Wuli tried to dodge, but his hand gripped the back of her neck, preventing her from moving.

His lips entwined with hers, deeply and intensely.

Su Wuli gripped the fabric of his shirt tightly.

It made a protesting sound, "Ugh...no...there are so many people..."
