After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Wedding Ring Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Wedding Ring Qi Si went back to the bathroom to take another shower, the fatigue of the entire day dissipating when Shen Yan had barged in earlier.

Qi Si’s usually stern lips softened, almost as if they were tinged with a hint of a smile.

The way Shen Yan gawked, she resembled a clueless deer bumping around.

It was… irresistibly tempting to tease her!

Qi Si showered quickly and was neatly dressed in homely pajamas when he stepped out of the bathroom, looking casual yet tender.

Seeing Qi Si in pajamas for the first time left Shen Yan a bit starstruck.

Even in pajamas, Qi Si exuded an aura of authority—it was just like him!

His wet hair lay softly on his forehead, water droplets dangling from it, his eyes and eyebrows less fierce than usual, replaced by a gentleness.

She wasn’t sure if it was the overwhelming image from earlier or something else.

Shen Yan found herself thinking that Qi Si looked so handsome in his pajamas that it quickened her heartbeat!

Shen Yan’s face felt hot, and she looked away, refusing to give him a second glance.

She was afraid he might catch a glimpse of some strange emotion in her eyes.

Qi Si looked at Shen Yan, who stood outside with her head down, and asked, “What is it?”

Shen Yan’s heart skipped a beat, touched by his deep, magnetic voice. She frowned slightly, dispelling the odd feeling, and blurted without thinking, “I just came to tell you that I’ll start joining the crew tomorrow. The filming location isn’t in Shen City…”

“Uh-huh.”

Qi Si’s gaze shifted slightly but he didn’t remind her that she didn’t have to stay close to him and could just use her phone.

Shen Yan meant to say something else, but the earlier scene had driven everything else from her mind.

“It’s late, go rest.”

Upon hearing his words, Shen Yan turned and headed back to her room, pausing at her door to look back, “You should rest too, Mr. Qi. Constantly staying up late ages you quickly, and can even lead to an early death.”

Qi Si: “…”

Shen Yan entered her room, lifting her hand as if to slap herself.

What was she talking about?

Wasn’t she effectively cursing Qi Si to a short life?

Shen Yan took a deep breath and chuckled bitterly to herself, wondering what had gotten into her. Was it just because she saw Qi Si in a towel that she panicked?

How pathetic.

The next day.

Shen Yan got up and saw Qi Si sitting in the living room, busy with work.

He really never took a break.

“Good morning, Mr. Qi!”

“Morning,” Qi Si briefly looked up and glanced at Shen Yan, who was dressed elegantly.

After having breakfast in the dining room, Shen Yan saw Qi Si standing ahead, holding out a delicate little bag to her.

“What’s this?”

“I got these ready for you a while ago,” Qi Si did not explain why he hadn’t given them to her sooner.

Shen Yan took the bag somewhat dazedly, “Thank you, Mr. Qi.”

Without any further discussion, Shen Yan left for the airport with Liu Su, and assistant Xiao Zhao, who hadn’t seen Shen Yan for a while, was already waiting there, quite excited.

Recently, because of “Stratagem Sage,” Shen Yan’s popularity had risen another notch.

Shen Yan was now starting to be recognized as a third-tier celebrity—if this movie was a hit, she would skyrocket to fame overnight!

Director Chen’s movies had a high chance of success!

On the plane.

Shen Yan opened the bag from Qi Si and was stunned by what she found inside.

Shen Yan was in a single seat, and her actions went unnoticed.

Inside the bag was a royal blue velvet box, which Shen Yan placed on the table with a serious expression.

This packaging…

It was definitely something she had been thinking of.

Should she open it?

Besides this box, there was an accompanying card and another bank card.

The passwords were written on them.

Besides that, there were other registered assets with legal signs and effects…

Shen Yan’s lips tightened even more.

In the end, she couldn’t resist opening the velvet box, and a faint purple light gleamed inside.

Seeing the luxurious and noble light purple diamond ring inside, she was stunned for a long time.

Was this an engagement ring?

Looking at this engagement ring, Shen Yan’s feelings were incredibly complex at that moment.

She slowly gathered all the items back into the small bag, staring into the emptiness outside, her thoughts unknown.

The movie was being filmed in Xia City.

As the lead actress, Shen Yan, although it was not yet her turn for the first scene, had still arrived early.

Director Chen had asked her to arrive tomorrow, but she came today.

Film crew.

As soon as Shen Yan arrived, she greeted her senior colleagues; everyone knew that Director Chen had chosen an actress from the eighteenth tier with hardly any works to her name as the leading lady.

Oh, she had now been promoted to the third tier.

Before, if there were any criticisms about Shen Yan, they had diminished greatly since “Stratagem Sage” aired. Everyone who saw Shen Yan’s performance in “Stratagem Sage” knew she had truly earned the role of the heroine through her talent.

Filming movies was different from television dramas, with a quicker pace and a greater demand for perfection.

Director Chen was famously temperamental, often scolding people, but his works were well-received and guaranteed box office success.

Good scripts were rare in the entertainment industry nowadays, and finding a good movie like this one had nearly led to bloody disputes over the roles.

In some people’s eyes, Shen Yan had easily obtained the role due to her modest skills and leveraging her good looks from Director Chen.

The cast included well-known veteran actors; outwardly, they were all very kind to Shen Yan, but what they truly thought, no one knew.

“Shen Yan,” a familiar figure emerged from the temporary makeup room up ahead.

He was smiling at Shen Yan.

“Mr. Li!”

The person greeting her was none other than Li Yanbai.

Seeing him, Shen Yan immediately knew who the male lead of the movie was.

“I heard you got the lead actress role; initially, I thought there was a new person in the industry with the same name,” he said.

“I wasn’t very sure at first either,” Shen Yan smiled and replied.

Li Yanbai said, “I watched your part in ‘Stratagem Sage.’ Your acting is really good; Director Chen chose you because you have qualities he admires!”

“Thank you for your compliments, Mr. Li,” Shen Yan glanced around, “I’m truly honored to work with Mr. Li this time!”

“It’s my honor too!” Li Yanbai smiled. He quite liked Shen Yan, unlike other newcomers who became arrogant with a bit of capital.

Shen Yan gave the impression of being very down-to-earth!

“Come, let me introduce you to a few veteran artists,” like before, Li Yanbai took Shen Yan around to meet people in the industry.

Networking was very important in this circle.

One never knew when one might meet someone who could be a benefactor!

After Shen Yan finished meeting everyone with Li Yanbai, Director Chen’s side had already prepared the commencement ceremony, just waiting to start filming tomorrow!

While Shen Yan was in Xia City filming, Bai Zhong had already arrived at the Shancheng Shen Family.

It was Bai Zhong’s second visit to the Shen Family.

He remembered that during his first visit, the home gave off a cold aura, even more so this time.

Bai Zhong followed the family’s servant inside and arrived at Shen Ning’s room; in the whole house, only Shen Ning was present.

The elders of the family were all out handling their own affairs.

This included Shen Ning’s grandparents, who were also busy with their matters.

Upon seeing him, Shen Ning smiled and happily announced, “Bai Zhong, I’ve already contacted the connections in Beijing.”

Bai Zhong paused, then asked, “The Qi Family?”

Shen Ning shook her head, somewhat regretfully said, “The Qi Family was not willing, so I had to resort to the next best option—the Zhai Family from Beijing.”
