Chapter 94: Chapter 094: The Master Saw It! Chapter 94: Chapter 094: The Master Saw It! As Director Du was splitting his grin upon receiving partnership news from various advertisers, trouble erupted upfront!

Li Xu was close to Dai Molin when, inadvertently, Dai Molin’s rice knife slashed Li Xu’s thigh, causing a lot of blood to gush forth at the scene.

Dai Molin was petrified with fright, her eyes reddening as she continuously apologized to Li Xu.

Li Xu forced a comforting smile, “It’s okay, it’s just a minor injury.”

Minor injury? Blood was spurting out.

Shen Yan, witnessing the chaos around Li Xu, walked over with a few villagers.

The crew had their own accompanying doctor, who, upon being notified to treat the injury, came running as if flying, fearing the responsibility of an incident involving these celebrities.

Shen Yan glanced at Li Xu’s wound—it was quite deep, almost cutting into the leg artery.

Dai Molin, crouched by his side, was crying out of anxiety.

Dai Molin was being viciously scolded by Li Xu’s fans.

Someone handed Li Xu a towel to wipe his hands; he lifted his arm to take it.

What was merely a casual gesture caught Shen Yan’s eye—and suddenly, she paused.

Staring at Li Xu’s hand, her eyes narrowed slightly.

Her expression turned a bit colder.

Though it was only a fleeting glimpse, Shen Yan still vaguely noticed the thin callus on the base of Li Xu’s thumb.

Li Xu wasn’t one to frequently engage in farming; he was a coddled big star.

Why would such a thing be there?

Shen Yan’s gaze fell on Li Xu, her expression somewhat murky.

With Li Xu’s incident, everyone packed up and headed to the assigned villagers’ homes to collect food for lunch.

Having injured his leg, the other guests grew wary of their rice knives.

Li Xu rested on a recliner in the courtyard, his leg wound wrapped several times with gauze, the blood ceased, but faint signs of seepage still visible through the gauze.

Dai Molin sat beside him, secretly wiping her tears.

Shen Yan brought over a cup of water, “Mr. Li, have some water.”

“Thank you,” Li Xu said with a smile, reaching to accept the cup.

This time, Shen Yan got a clearer view of the callus on his thumb.

Later on, Shen Yan occasionally glanced in Li Xu’s direction, which could make one assume she harbored a secret crush on him.

Qin Dingyue noticed and nudged Shen Yan’s waist with her elbow, whispering, “Yanyan, you’ve been looking at Mr. Li all day.”

Shen Yan’s gaze retreated from Li Xu, “His injury is quite severe, it’s only right to keep a closer watch.”

Is that so?

Qin Dingyue felt something was amiss.

*

Indeed, Li Xu’s injury was not light.

As the other guests continued to toil in the fields, Li Xu’s manager arrived to take him away.

Shen Yan took special note of those who came to pick up Li Xu, especially watching the way they walked.

To the camera, it seemed as though Shen Yan was reluctant to let Li Xu go.

[Fake Princess can’t be falling for Li Xu, can she? She’s been staring at him ever since he got injured.]

[One night with Little King Xie and then turning around to check out another male star, Fake Princess is really flamboyant.]

[Looking at it this way, Fake Princess seems to be involved with everyone.]

[Shen Yan is just genuinely concerned about her colleague. Haters always twist things all day long; are they just naturally inclined to make perverse interpretations?]

Song Xuan consoled the guilt-ridden Dai Molin. To have Li Xu taken out at the start of the show, how could Dai Molin not blame herself?

Shen Yan gave Dai Molin a glance, vaguely suspecting that Li Xu had deliberately taken that hit.

Seeing the situation, Director Du quickly lifted everyone’s spirits; the afternoon tasks must go on!

With Li Xu’s severe injury, others were too embarrassed to show off their minor cuts, enduring itch and pain to work tirelessly until dusk.

When it was time to wrap up, everyone couldn’t wait to collapse on the spot.

Even Xie Xuan was exhausted beyond belief.

Only Shen Yan walked ahead, brisk and full of energy, inciting tearful envy from everyone!

Farm work really wasn’t meant for humans!

Back at the courtyard, even Xie Xuan had to drag his weary body to cook for everyone, while Shen Yan took care of making the rice.

The weary and hungry guests were very quiet during the meal.

After eating, Liu Su finally found an opportunity to take Shen Yan aside. With a grim expression, he said to her, “Mr. Qi saw it!”

“What happened online now.”

It was the first time Shen Yan had seen Liu Su look so troubled, she thought this trouble must have swept in wickedly.

Liu Su said anxiously, “The gossip about Miss Shen and Xie Xuan has hit the second spot on the hot search list, and Mr. Qi happened to see it just now. When I called him, his tone sounded quite off.”

Now recalling it, his scalp still felt numb.

The tone of Qi Si’s voice was like he had swallowed several knives, extraordinarily cold.

Shen Yan remembered the words Qi Si had said before; chasing her was acceptable, but don’t stir up any widely recognized trouble.

“I’ll call Mr. Qi,” let’s not worry about those online things for now.

“It’s better not to provoke Mr. Qi at this time,” Liu Su, unusually, stopped her.

Usually, he could hardly wait for Shen Yan to contact Qi Si 24 hours a day.

Not now, though.

Shen Yan glanced at Liu Su, calmly unlocked her phone, opened Weibo, and looked at the hot search post.

It was filled with completely fabricated gossip. How did it get there?

“Didn’t Xinyu’s PR move to handle it?”

“We couldn’t handle it in time. Someone’s been fanning the flames from behind,” said Liu Su, his face a bit dark, “it’s probably not someone from within the circle.”

Shen Yan instantly understood, “Then it could be a family issue.”

She was in the entertainment industry, not hidden away.

Whether it was the Shen Family’s competitors or people the original owner had offended, they weren’t of ordinary origin.

Having them meddle in the entertainment industry was quite normal.

Qi Si had seen it, but his non-action indicated he might be fishing.

“Even though it’s a groundless rumor, if there’s trouble, it should be resolved immediately. We shouldn’t wait for misunderstandings to deepen,” Qi Si was intelligent, but that didn’t mean he was devoid of emotions.

Even if he knew it was false, it could still sit wrong with him.

Liu Su hesitated to speak further.

Shen Yan had already turned and dialed Qi Si’s number.

Qi Si answered quite swiftly, but made no sound.

Even kilometers away, Shen Yan could feel the low pressure emanating from him.

“The gossip about me and Xie Xuan…”

“That will be taken down quickly. Is there anything else?”

“As long as Mr. Qi knows it’s false, I just wanted to tell Mr. Qi, nothing more.”

“Uh-huh.”

The ‘uh-huh’ clearly warmed the conversation a bit.

“If Mr. Qi is concerned about it, I’ll make it disappear cleanly right now.”

“I will handle it.”

Shen Yan paused, “Then I’ll leave it to Mr. Qi. Once this program over here is finished, may I treat Mr. Qi to a meal?”

Shen Yan’s politeness caused Qi Si on the other end to slightly frown his handsome eyebrows.

Hearing the last sentence, Qi Si responded with another ‘uh-huh.’

Shen Yan knew the pleasantry was well-received, said “you’re busy” and hung up the call.

Behind her, Liu Su, listening to Shen Yan’s conversation with Qi Si, heaved a great sigh of relief.

It seemed, Qi Si hadn’t lost his temper with Shen Yan.

As for Qi Si on the other end, just as he had put the phone down, it rang again.

Seeing the “Mrs. Shen” note pop up, Qi Si’s icy eyes revealed a trace of surprise.

Gu Ting spoke before Qi Si could, “I’m sorry to disturb you, Qi Si. I’ve just arrived in Shen City and wanted to check on Yanyan’s situation.”

“Aunt Gu has come to Shen City,” Qi Si’s brow creased slightly.

“I’m worried about Yanyan, so I came to Shen City secretly. Qi Si, please don’t tell her.” Gu Ting paused, then added, “I know giving her to you was irresponsible on our part as parents. It’s been tough on you this past year. I really shouldn’t be bothering you at this time…”

“Where are you?” Qi Si interjected.

Gu Ting, interrupted, paused and said, “I’ve already made accommodation arrangements, so there’s no need for you to come over again.”

Qi Si insisted, “Let’s still meet.”

After a moment of hesitation, Gu Ting said, “Alright.”
