Wen Qing turned to look at Chen Jian, clenched her fist, and said, “Secretary Chen, you’re right.”

“That’s just my humble opinion.” Chen Jian smiled.

“He’s womanizing, and I’m doing something similar. We’re a perfect pair, so let’s just pretend we didn’t see anything.” Wen Qing looked away.

Chen Jian thought for a moment. He felt that he had done enough. He was about to exacerbate the situation, but he did not need to.

Su Misha was wearing a costume that consisted of several layers. When she got up, she accidentally stepped on the hem of her dress. She fell into Shang Ke’s arms!

Chen Jian seemed like he really wanted Wen Qing to see this. He hurriedly said, “Ms. Wen Qing, look! Young Master Ke is hugging another girl.”

Wen Qing saw it, but she averted her gaze quickly. She even thought that Secretary Chen was trying to torture her.

It was getting more and more obvious that he was doing it on purpose.

“It’s just an act. They’re actors.” She denied what she had seen.

With that, she turned around, wanting to leave this uncomfortable place. She almost bumped into Shang Yinghan. Wen Qing was startled, but she quickly calmed down and shouted, “Sir.”

“Yes,” he responded.

He always appeared out of nowhere and that always scared her.

However, she realized that she should not be acting so flustered in front of Shang Yinghan. She tried her best to calm down, so that she would not behave like a nuisance.

“Sir, is everything alright?” she asked.

“Did I startle you?” He asked a question instead of answering her.

“No.” Wen Qing shook her head. “I just didn’t want to bump into you, sir.”

“Even if you crash into me, that would be fine.”

As he spoke, his gaze roamed over her face. Wen Qing felt him watching her. She twisted her fingers nervously, but stood still. They were outside, and it was warm due to the morning sun. Shang Yinghan’s body gave her some cover, but the sunlight still shone on the other half of her face, her shoulders, ears, and neck.

Shang Yinghan looked at her for a long time, so long that Wen Qing’s ears turned red. Only then did he shift his gaze and look elsewhere.

He swallowed and asked, “Are you here for filming?”

He asked the question directly.

Wen Qing could not keep up with him. She looked at him, and her expression betrayed her confusion.

Shang Yinghan smiled a gentle smile. “Did you come here to take part in a movie?”

He paused for less than three seconds before he continued. “I heard that you’re an actress now. Do you have any prospects?”

He had asked two questions at once. Wen Qing was hesitating, unsure if she should answer the first or the second.

After thinking for a while, she answered, “My background in dance makes me suitable for the entertainment industry. However, I haven’t had much luck lately. I’m still struggling.”

That was the truth of her situation.

Although the Wen family was rich, she had joined the entertainment industry for fun. Even now, she was not attached to the entertainment industry at all.

“Wen Qing,” Shang Yinghan called.

Wen Qing looked at him in a daze.

“Do you want to be the best?” Shang Yinghan asked.

Wen Qing reacted too slowly. It took her two seconds to understand the meaning behind Shang Yinghan’s words. Her expression slowly became unfathomable.

Even Shang Ke had not become the best after so many years in the industry. Plus, she only had the Wen family’s support!

Shang Yinghan took half a step closer to her. His gentle voice rang out again. “If you want to become the best, nothing will stand in your way.”

Wen Qing could feel his breath on her ear when he spoke. It made her feel unsettled. Her heart was restless as well.

She bit her lip and said, “I’m only an actress. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision. I didn’t even give it much thought.”

“Who did you do it for?” he asked suddenly.
