After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity-Chapter 81 - 0: Is Shen Yan Being Moody?
Chapter 81: Chapter 081: Is Shen Yan Being Moody?
In the evening.
Qi Si was timing his return home.
As soon as he entered, he saw Shen Yan sitting in the living room, analyzing the script.
In "Stratagem Sage," she was merely the third female lead, her screen time wasn’t much, but her character played a significant role.
Especially in the relationship between the male and female leads, she had an important influence.
She was also a character that caused a major change in the male lead’s mindset.
Over thirty episodes, her character as the third female lead would survive up to the twentieth episode.
The character she was playing was a cold-hearted assassin, not much dialogue was needed, but more emphasis was on eye acting and wire stunts.
Shen Yan was now identifying her positioning through others’ lines and descriptions, so that she could master the degree to which she presented her eye expressions.
Qi Si wasn’t interested in the TV drama that Shen Yan was acting in, but seeing her seriously analyzing the script reminded him of the video Liu Su had sent him last time.
In the video, she was lying on a muddy slope, almost unrecognizable due to the dirt covering her face.
He had previously thought that Shen Yan was in the entertainment industry just to follow Mu Jincheng and didn’t truly love it.
But now, seeing her like this, he somewhat believed she entered the industry because she liked it.
"Mr. Qi is back."
Shen Yan put down the script, stood up, and faced Qi Si.
A commonplace phrase, yet Qi Si’s action of loosening his tie momentarily paused, and he looked over to Shen Yan.
With his gaze meeting hers, she revealed a bit of confusion.
What did he want to say?
Qi Si merely hesitated, then nodded at her.
Neither of them had servants waiting on them during their meal; the kind of scenes depicted in TV dramas simply didn’t exist in reality.
They entered the dining room together, served rice and poured soup for each other, and ate silently.
It was quiet, yet not the slightest bit awkward.
The atmosphere was unusually warm.
Shen Yan enjoyed this kind of quiet, and Qi Si also savored the mood.
The atmosphere was inexplicably harmonious!
"Day after tomorrow, I have to return to the set early," said Shen Yan after finishing her meal, mentioning this to him.
Qi Si wiped his hands and looked at Shen Yan, "I will take care of the attack in Jin City. If you have any requirements."
Shen Yan was startled, "Mr. Qi is going to fight for me?"
"It’s only appropriate." And it was not for her sake.
Shen Yan understood and nodded; she was tied to him now, and her being bullied was a strike at his face.
His honor definitely needed to be restored.
Asking her that was just incidental.
After pondering briefly, Shen Yan placed her hands crossed in front of her, propped on the table, and looking at Qi Si, she said, "Don’t you mind at all how I treated you before, Mr. Qi?"
Qi Si’s gaze remained unchanged, casually observing her, "I am clear on what I want."
What he wanted was not Shen Yan’s heart, nor her person, but the benefits she brought with her.
Shen Yan couldn’t help but pause.
She had thought too much.
The man before her was truly cold-blooded.
He cared for nothing but self-interest.
It didn’t matter to him, whatever she did to him was inconsequential.
"I want the woman who was behind this to taste what it was like at that time."
Upon hearing this, Qi Si nodded, "She will pay the price that she ought to."
There was no need for Shen Yan to ask any foolish questions like whether this would cause trouble for him.
Because of these words, Shen Yan lost the desire to continue the conversation with Qi Si.
The next evening, Shen Yan returned from the company, and Qi Si still timed his return home for dinner.
During this meal, the two of them did not utter a word.
Until Shen Yan finished eating and was about to go upstairs, Qi Si in the living room called out to her, "I don’t object to you pursuing someone, but you must keep a distance."
He didn’t want to see any scandal arising between them on the set.
Standing at the foot of the stairs, Shen Yan turned back and assessed him with a look: "Mr. Qi is really generous."
Dropping that sarcastic remark, Shen Yan turned and went upstairs.
Qi Si’s handsome brows furrowed slightly.
In the morning, Shen Yan carried her luggage down the stairs.
Liu Su hurried up to take care of it.
To her surprise, Shen Yan found that Qi Si was still at home and hadn’t left yet. He had just finished a phone call, and when he turned around, he couldn’t help but let his gaze wander over Shen Yan, who was dressed youthfully and brightly.
Walking past him into the dining room, Shen Yan had breakfast and came out only to see him finish another phone call. She picked up her luggage without a word and silently passed by him to leave.
From beginning to end, there wasn’t a single greeting.
She hardly even looked at him.
Liu Su was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly followed her out, carefully asking Shen Yan, "Miss Shen, why didn’t you say goodbye to Mr. Qi?"
"He doesn’t need it."
"For family harmony..."
"I haven’t started a family with him yet."
"It’s only a matter of a few months."
"When I’m going away for a long time, shouldn’t it be him saying goodbye to me?" Shen Yan’s voice sounded a bit indifferent.
Liu Su: "..."
Was Miss Shen angry?
Shen Yan wasn’t angry; she just wasn’t feeling too great inside.
Everyone said it, he only cared about interests, and told her she could cheat and chase after someone freely.
She should be happy and not have any emotions.
On the way to the airport, that little bout of emotion that Shen Yan had completely disappeared.
As if nothing had happened.
Qi Si sorted out the operations in Shen City and then flew to Beijing.
On the way, he couldn’t help but think of Shen Yan’s figure as she left the house.
Was she showing him a little temper?
Shen Yan’s temperament was never great, so he didn’t take it to heart.
The thoughts of young girls were always beyond his understanding.
When Qi Si emerged from the airport, a sleek Maybach was waiting at a special exit. As soon as he appeared, the car door opened.
A tall and upright figure stepped out, and upon seeing Qi Si, his sharp brows lifted, and a smile spread across his sexy lips beneath his prominent nose.
The smile adorning his handsome face gave off an aura of casual licentiousness.
The impression he gave was one of being composed but also accentuated his charming wickedness.
"Qi Si!"
Qi Si walked indifferently past him.
The young man was taken aback, quickly catching up, "Look, I came all this way to pick you up, show some face."
Qi Si walked out without saying a word.
It wasn’t until Qi Si got into another black sedan that the young man grew a bit anxious, "I said, I had no idea about that issue. We’re supposed to be friends, can’t you show some consideration? Shen Yan is that important to you? Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for that kind of girl."
Qi Si lifted his hand, and the driver stepped on the gas, causing the young man clinging to the door to stagger back several steps.
The young man watched the sedan speed away, his lips twitching, "So ruthless!"
Then, his expression became solemn.
He had received word that Qi Si had come back to deal with the last issue, which was why he’d rushed to meet him.
But Qi Si flat-out didn’t give him the chance to play on personal feelings.
If Qi Si didn’t get what he wanted out of this, there would be no end to it.
A headache.
Shen Yan touched down and quickly took a different route, directly entering the film city.
Today, set number three was filming Chu Jinghe’s scenes, and just as Shen Yan walked in, she saw Chu Jinghe acting with a veteran actor. The scene, which could have been completed smoothly, was botched when Chu Jinghe spotted Shen Yan from a distance, resulting in an immediate "cut" from the director and a subsequent outburst of scolding.
Chu Jinghe’s complexion turned ashen, and when she tried to locate Shen Yan again, she was nowhere to be seen.
Shen Yan had merely glanced over before going to greet the other actors waiting for their scenes.
She happened to see Mu Jincheng talking to someone and they both turned around.
Mu Jincheng, upon seeing Shen Yan dressed like a college student, was taken aback.
The handsome young man who had just finished makeup and stepped out beside Mu Jincheng nodded and smiled at Shen Yan, "You must be Shen Yan."
"Hello."
This man had a good aura, handsome and dashing, exuding the vibe of a friendly guy-next-door.
Xiao Zhao, upon seeing him, excitedly tugged at Shen Yan, whispering in excitement, "Yanyan, it’s Teacher Li Yanbai!"
Li Yanbai?
Shen Yan quickly remembered who he was.
He was the same man who had generously conceded the Best Actor award to Tao Rongye!
