Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn

Chapter 123: 123 Do you really not need my intervention?

Although tomorrow was the day Shi Lan would be “publicly executed,” the dinner party that evening went on as planned.

Back in the makeup room, President Yan wasn’t looking for an excuse to let Shi Lan slip away, but there really was a dinner with the scriptwriters. He only came to the set after wrap-up, and it was a crew member who reminded him that Shi Lan had gone to the makeup room, leading to his coincidental encounter with Gu Chengyu pestering Shi Lan.

Luckily, he stumbled upon them, otherwise Miss Shi would have been terribly hassled tonight.

The meal didn’t last long, after all, the scriptwriters had heard a bit about tomorrow’s events and guessed that Shi Lan wasn’t in a good mood. So, after discussing official matters, they excused themselves and left.

Then, Director Tang drank too much and was helped away by his assistant, leaving only Yan Shixiu and Shi Lan at the table.

“Tomorrow, do you really have to apologize?”

Actually, President Yan was just asking symbolically. Although Shi Lan took various actions through Tang Ze without letting the outside world know, Yan Shixiu understood Shi Lan’s abilities well. In the end, it would only be Chen Beini who would suffer, but An Lan didn’t have that kind of “skill,” so he had to ask.

“I’ll apologize,” Shi Lan said nonchalantly. “I’m just a small fry in the industry, and the company has threatened me. How could I not apologize?”

“Do you really not need my involvement?”

“Don’t make our relationship that complicated,” Shi Lan said lightheartedly. “If I really wanted to climb up using somebody, things wouldn’t have turned out like this. President Yan, don’t underestimate me.”

After hearing this, Yan Shixiu knew when to stop and said, “If I underestimated you, I wouldn’t ask. I would have just intervened. I’m asking because I want you to know that I care about you. I won’t interfere with your work, but I can offer you advice, stay by your side through the hard times, and give you encouragement.”

Dog of a man. Now he talks just like Sun Ling, so convincing that one simply can’t refuse, and it’s incredibly refreshing to listen to.

Taking advantage of the absence of others, Shi Lan leaned on Yan Shixiu’s shoulder: “I feel better now.”

President Yan is best kept at home for flirting, not to be exploited publically.

In a certain sense, Miss Shi had a bit of a “male chauvinism” complex.

There was no helping it; without a man to rely on since childhood, she had to grow up to be like one.

Yan Shixiu still held Shi Lan while continuing to eat, wholeheartedly pampering Shi Lan’s little pride.

When it came to advice and tough times, Yan Shixiu knew better than anyone that Miss Shi didn’t need those things. He just wanted to be by her side, whether in glory or in the trough.

Late at night, after tucking Shi Lan into bed, Yan Shixiu returned to his own room. At that moment, Sun Ling was waiting outside the door and said to Yan Shixiu, “President Yan, I know I might be overstepping by asking this, but I think An Lan needs it. If it hadn’t been for your arrival tonight, An Lan would have been entangled by Gu Chengyu. Although she could resist, being spotted by passersby would always be bad for her. So, I think she needs a bodyguard. You’re aware of the superstar’s situation, and the company doesn’t want to invest in An Lan, so…”

“You do take good care of her.”

“She’s pretty pitiful…” Sun Ling said, hinting at something deeper.

Actually, she wanted to say that the misery of Miss Shi and An Lan was comparable, even though she was wealthy in her previous life, she had never been loved, which was truly sad.

“I’m on it,” said Yan Shixiu. Like the house situation, this too was in his plans. However, finding the right bodyguard was stricter than the house, as no suitable one had been found yet.

Because the person he was looking for needed to have a figure very similar to his, so that on certain occasions, he could stand in personally.

“Take good care of her tomorrow…”

“Don’t worry, President Yan,” Sun Ling said, somewhat excited. Tomorrow was going to be quite a spectacle.
