After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 578: Spin-off: Jealousy in the Cinema!

Shen Yan’s period drama was released quickly, coming out the day after she announced that she would not be taking on new appointments during her pregnancy.

The news of Shen Yan’s pregnancy was blown up by the media and cast across the internet, but contrary to expectations, she wasn’t met with negativity—instead, there was a wave of congratulations!

The next day, Fireworks fans flocked to the theaters in large numbers, and the film was received very well.

The reviews were even higher.

Especially since the male and female leads in the movie didn’t end up together, as in all ideal endings, but rather the male lead ended up with the second female lead, and the female lead went on to do what she wanted.

It wasn’t due to mismatched principles but rather the deep-seated conflicts between the two families that had been buried long ago. Coupled with some other reasons, it made sense that the two didn’t end up together.

They separated cleanly, without dragging their feet, no resentments or defamation.

Such an ending made many movie buffs really appreciate the female lead’s magnanimity.

The female lead was the type of heroic woman concerned with national issues, not someone meant to be couped up in the inner quarters revolving around a man all day.

The film’s plot was dissected and many admired the female lead’s ability to let go with such grace!

Shen Yan was no exception; she gained another round of popularity for such a role.

Her character’s depiction was too compelling, adding a layer of luster to her own persona!

In the cinema.

Shen Yan and Qi Si both wore masks as they sat in the back row. They had arrived early, and once the lights went out, no one would notice the heavily disguised couple—one being the leading actress of the film, and the other, the man in charge of the Qi Family.

Shen Yan rested her head on Qi Si’s shoulder and whispered, “This is the first time I’ve invited Mr. Qi to the movies.”

Qi Si looked down at her, “Next time, I’ll invite you.”

“Okay!”

After saying that, Shen Yan chuckled lightly to herself.

The air conditioning in the cinema was a bit too cold, so Qi Si took off his jacket and draped it over her, “Will you be going back to the Shen Mansion tonight?”

“Not going back.”

She had specially stayed at the Shen Family’s house for a few days recently because they were discussing Xiao Ling’s marriage to Shen Zheng, resulting in Qi Si stopping by the Shen Mansion every day after work.

It made Shen Yan too embarrassed to stay any longer.

Thinking of the teasing looks from the Shen Family elders, Shen Yan felt extremely awkward!

Hearing her, Qi Si also breathed a sigh of relief.

Staying at the Shen Mansion meant he could only sleep in the guest room, unable to share a bed with Shen Yan or even entertain thoughts of cuddling and embracing.

Watching Shen Yan get involved in Shen Zheng’s wedding matters made him feel distressed.

He wished he could offer an all-inclusive service for Shen Zheng’s wedding to spare Shen Yan the trouble.

Of course, that was just a wishful thought.

If he really did so, he suspected he’d lose even the right to sleep on the floor.

“I’ll head over after you go to work,” it wasn’t that far anyway.

“…”

“Is Mr. Qi not happy now?”

“No.”

“Then why aren’t you talking?”

“The movie is about to start,” Qi Si tugged her hand and placed it on his abdomen, holding it tightly.

Shen Yan sneaked a smile and quickly kissed his face, “Don’t be angry.”

Qi Si’s mood improved considerably, “I’m not angry.”

“Then let’s watch the movie,” Shen Yan leaned back against his shoulder.

During the movie, Qi Si couldn’t help frowning, especially at the scenes where the male and female leads interacted, almost wishing he could flip the cinema screen!

Shen Yan didn’t mind her man almost dying of jealousy, watching for a while before she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Watching his own movie felt strange, so he simply closed his eyes to sleep.

When the movie was over and they were walking out last, Shen Yan finally noticed that Qi Si’s mood wasn’t very good. She touched him with her hand, “Mr. Qi, what’s wrong?”

Why was he unhappy again?

“Does Li Yanbai still keep in touch with you often?”

“Not very often, just occasionally. He said that after I give birth, he wants to work with me again…”

“Is that so.”

Qi Si’s tone was sour.

“Yeah, Brother Li is quite nice. Whenever he has resources, he thinks of me,” Shen Yan pretended not to see the look of jealousy on Qi Si’s face.

Qi Si said, “You don’t need resources from him, and you don’t have to humble yourself before others.”

He had plenty of resources to support Shen Yan, no need for any outsider to interfere.

Shen Yan followed up, “I wasn’t humbling myself; it’s just friends helping each other out. Didn’t you tell me before to make more friends to brighten my mood?”

Qi Si, who had shot himself in the foot, was at a loss for words: “…”

Shen Yan said with amusement, “We’re all friends, don’t overthink it.”

“I won’t give them that opportunity.”

“Then why are you unhappy?”

“…”

He was just unhappy that Shen Yan could spend every day with them, while he had to stand alone behind her, watching eagerly.

The next day, Qi Si was still doting and reluctant to leave when he dropped Shen Yan off at the Shen Family’s door. He drove away reluctantly only after the elder family members arrived.

Outside the door, Shen Yan was again greeted with teasing glances from the elders.

Luckily, Shen Yan had thickened her skin. Facing the elders’ scrutinizing looks, she was able to withstand it calmly.

“Didn’t you agree yesterday not to come today? There are so many people at home already; do you really need to be involved?” Gu Ting felt a heart-tremble upon seeing her with a big belly.

“I came to see if there was anything I could help with,” Shen Yan was well aware of her condition and wouldn’t become so weak from pregnancy that she couldn’t do anything.

Xiao Ling came down from upstairs, found Shen Yan arrived so early, and was somewhat helpless, “It’s my wedding with your brother. Why are you worrying yourself to death?”

“I’m not worried, just came to keep you company.”

“…” Xiao Ling had to admit that having Shen Yan by her side made her feel more at ease, “Then don’t busy yourself, just sit here and watch.”

Shen Yan wasn’t truly meddling; she solely offered suggestions when others asked for her opinion.

It was them being overcautious.

Making her feel like a porcelain doll.

“I heard that the young man from the Zhai Family also got married, and it’s on the same day. I wonder which side Qi Si will attend?” someone suddenly brought up.

All eyes instantly turned towards Shen Yan.

“He’ll definitely have to go; after all, that’s his good brother,” Shen Yan didn’t have the authority to command Qi Si to cut off ties with the young Zhai Family scion.

Their friendship from childhood couldn’t simply be severed.

She wouldn’t force someone to end ties of friendship.

“Qi Si has been brothers with him for years; it’s right that he should go. We shouldn’t chew over this matter with Qi Si,” upon hearing this, Gu Ting immediately spoke these warning words sternly.

Knowing Shen Yan’s stance, the others didn’t say anything further.

Mentioning the Zhai Family, it was hard not to recall the scene where Zhai Hongshen had come to apologize to her.

The grudges and gratitude they had with the Zhai Family would be best if maintained as is, without interfering with each other in the future.

Shen Yan thought of Qi Si and planned to talk to him about it that evening.

When Qi Si came to pick her up in the evening, Shen Yan brought it up and he said as she expected, “I’m going to make time to stop by, you don’t have to come with me.”

He didn’t want Shen Yan to go and meet people she didn’t want to see and then upset her good mood.
